The Power of Traces
Authors: Corin Ellen 
Published: January 2020

AbstractThis article deals with the limits of words, images, and symbols and explores the idea that “residues” or “rests” may surface and rupture the tissue of conventional knowledge. L'Actuel, a notion developed in contemporary French psychoanalysis, serves as a guiding thread for this exploration. It points towards a kind of enigmatic “real” that may surface during the psychoanalytic session, “in presence,” specifically under cover of the transference–countertransference energy. It may either open to the identification and elaboration of an obscure nucleus of experience or surge as pure discharge and endanger the psychoanalytic session. Analogous “residues” resisting symbolic representation and meaning may also be identified at the levels of culture and history. Identifying them and grasping their significance requires a particular sensibility to discrepancy and unexpected recurrences. Breaking with ideas of beauty and harmony, contemporary art offers a privileged avenue for the emergence and treatment of traces haunting us as humans. Freud's notion of kulturarbeit is evoked in that context. [l'actuel; psychoanalytic sessions; cultural residues; hidden history]
From Metaphor to Interpretation: “Haunting” as Diagnostic of Dissociative Processes
Authors: Chiovenda Andrea 
Published: January 2020

AbstractThe article is based on the analysis of one psychodynamic interview session the author had with one of his respondents, who had with the author a long‐term, one‐on‐one series of sessions. Positioning the respondent in his sociocultural and political setting (as a Pashtun, male, well‐educated, and middle‐class individual living in south‐east Afghanistan, at a time of great instability and security concerns), the article explores the respondent's recounting of a harrowing and haunting personal encounter. Such exploration is based on a psychodynamic approach that intends dissociation as a functional mechanism the individual employs to fend off an unbearable reality that never passed the stage of unformulated experience. By bringing the dissociative material to a state of conscious conflict, what was previously unformulated, because unbearable, becomes at least thinkable. Such is the development that the respondent reaches during the intersubjective exchange with the author, which shows how a “haunting” experience may index the presence of an adaptive state of dissociation.
Letters to Maop: Living with a Ghost as Therapeutic Experience
Authors: Idria Reza 
Published: January 2020

AbstractIn post‐tsunami Aceh, an Indonesian province where prolonged armed conflict has already disrupted the lives of the Acehnese people for decades, ghost stories are common. But in what ways ghosts appear, how they are addressed when the border of what is real and what is spectral is subverted, and what kind of role they play in the political and social life of the Acehnese remains to be written. This article is addressed through the author's personal account and reflects that in a certain period of his life living with a ghost can be both a therapeutic process and a meaningful experience.
Hauntology: Theorizing the Spectral in Psychological Anthropology
Authors: Good Byron J. 
Published: January 2020

AbstractRecent writing in anthropology, particularly of Southeast Asia, suggests a “spectral” turn within ethnographic theorizing, influenced by Jacques Derrida's Specters of Marx and wide‐ranging writing on ghosts, haunting, and spectrality within cultural studies. This article argues that “haunting” and “hauntology” have a critical place within psychological anthropology and theories of subjectivity. The article provides a personal genealogy of how the author has come to use this concept for reflections on over 20 years of work in Indonesia. And it makes four suggestions for theorizing hauntology in psychological anthropology. It suggests first, that hauntology requires that we address the complex processes through which traumatic dimensions of contested historical experience are simultaneously kept hidden and made visible, and second that such accounts must address the complex relations between individual psychological experience and the political, which in turn requires a conception of the barred self and its haunting. Third, it suggests that we address questions of why outbreaks of ghosts appear when they do and what kinds of social and psychological responses they provoke. The article concludes with a brief exploration of the possibilities of a “hauntological ethics.”

AbstractBackgroundPlatelet‐rich plasma (PRP), processed from autologous peripheral blood, is used to treat androgenetic alopecia (AGA).ObjectiveTo determine the efficacy of PRP for hair growth promotion in AGA patients in a randomized, blinded, placebo‐controlled, pilot clinical trial (NCT02074943).MethodsThe efficacy of an 8 week, five session, PRP treatment course was determined by measuring hair density and hair caliber changes in 10 AGA affected patients. For each PRP sample, the concentrations of selected growth factors were determined using a multiplex assay system. The clinical results were then correlated with the growth factor concentrations in PRP.ResultsAt 16 weeks, 8 weeks after the last PRP injection, treated areas exhibited increased mean hair density (+12.76%) over baseline compared to placebo (+0.99%). Mean hair caliber decreased in both treated and placebo regions (−16.22% and −19.46%, respectively). Serial analysis of PRP significant variability in concentrations between patients. Overall, there was a positive correlation between GDNF concentration and hair density (P = .004). Trends, though not statistically significant, were also observed for FGF2 and VEGF.LimitationsSmall sample size and lack of comparative cohorts receiving protocol variations limit confidence in the study data.ConclusionsThis small pilot clinical trial suggests PRP treatment may be beneficial for AGA. However, the variable hair growth responses between patients indicate there is a significant opportunity to improve PRP therapy protocols for hair growth promotion. The variability in growth factor concentration in PRP suggests standardization of growth factors postprocessing might improve hair growth responses.
Phenological responses in a sycamore–aphid–parasitoid system and consequences for aphid population dynamics: A 20 year case study

Published: January 2020

AbstractSpecies interactions have a spatiotemporal component driven by environmental cues, which if altered by climate change can drive shifts in community dynamics. There is insufficient understanding of the precise time windows during which inter‐annual variation in weather drives phenological shifts and the consequences for mismatches between interacting species and resultant population dynamics—particularly for insects. We use a 20 year study on a tri‐trophic system: sycamore Acer pseudoplatanus, two associated aphid species Drepanosiphum platanoidis and Periphyllus testudinaceus and their hymenopteran parasitoids. Using a sliding window approach, we assess climatic drivers of phenology in all three trophic levels. We quantify the magnitude of resultant trophic mismatches between aphids and their plant hosts and parasitoids, and then model the impacts of these mismatches, direct weather effects and density dependence on local‐scale aphid population dynamics. Warmer temperatures in mid‐March to late‐April were associated with advanced sycamore budburst, parasitoid attack and (marginally) D. platanoidis emergence. The precise time window during which spring weather advances phenology varies considerably across each species. Crucially, warmer temperatures in late winter delayed the emergence of both aphid species. Seasonal variation in warming rates thus generates marked shifts in the relative timing of spring events across trophic levels and mismatches in the phenology of interacting species. Despite this, we found no evidence that aphid population growth rates were adversely impacted by the magnitude of mismatch with their host plants or parasitoids, or direct impacts of temperature and precipitation. Strong density dependence effects occurred in both aphid species and probably buffered populations, through density‐dependent compensation, from adverse impacts of the marked inter‐annual climatic variation that occurred during the study period. These findings explain the resilience of aphid populations to climate change and uncover a key mechanism, warmer winter temperatures delaying insect phenology, by which climate change drives asynchronous shifts between interacting species.
Peacemaking and holy war: Christian–Muslim diplomacy, c. 1095–1291, in crusades historiography
Authors: Moynihan Scott 
Published: January 2020

AbstractThe Christian holy wars known as the crusades are amongst the most well‐known events of the Middle Ages and continue to influence perceptions of Christian–Muslim relations to the present day. Less often acknowledged is the fact that treaties and negotiations across religious boundaries were a continuous feature throughout the crusading era. This article provides an outline of Christian–Muslim peacemaking during the crusades to the East, as well as an introduction to how inter‐religious diplomacy has been interpreted in crusades historiography. It then considers the broader implications of peacemaking for the study of the crusades and recommends potential areas for further research.

AbstractObjectiveTo develop and validate a simple reversed‐phase HPLC method for the quantitation and evaluation of stability of α‐lipoic acid in cosmetics, according to International Conference on Harmonization (ICH) Guidelines.MethodsThe chromatography was performed on a reversed‐phase Luna C18, analytical column (150 × 4.6 mm id, 5 μm particle size) with a mobile phase of potassium dihydrogen phosphate (pΗ 4.5; 0.05 M) and acetonitrile (60:40, v/v) and a flow rate of 1.0 mL min−1 with UV detection at 340 nm. Accelerated and long‐term stability studies of α‐lipoic acid in cosmetic cream were conducted under various degradation conditions including acid, basis, oxidation, and thermal and photolytic degradation, according to European Medicines Agency Guidelines CPMP/ICH/2736/99.ResultsThe limit of detection (LOD) for the cosmetic cream was 0.9 μg mL−1 and the limit of quantitation (LOQ) was 2.8 μg mL−1, while the retention time was 7.2 min. The method proved to be linear, precise and accurate. The stability results demonstrated the selectivity of the proposed method to the analysis of α‐LA, and the degradation products were determined and evaluated in specific stress conditions in cosmetic creams. The applicability of the method was tested in two different developed cosmetic products (cream with 1.5 % w/w and emulsion with 1.0 % w/w of LA) and proved to be reliable.ConclusionA reversed‐phase HPLC‐UV method was developed and fully validated for the analysis of α‐lipoic acid in cosmetics. It is the first reported application on the quantitation of lipoic acid in cosmetic creams, while at the same time evaluates the stability in forced degradation conditions, in new cosmetic formulations. It proved to be suitable for the reliable quality control of cosmetic products, with a run time of <8 min that allows for the analysis of large number of samples per day.

AbstractAimThe aim of this randomised controlled study was to determine the effect of Health Belief Model (HBM)‐based health education programme in late adolescent period on coping with premenstrual syndrome (PMS).MethodsThirty women both in the intervention and control groups were included. The HBM‐based education programme was applied to cope with PMS. The intervention and control groups were followed up for three cycles in terms of PMS symptoms. The data were collected by a questionnaire and the Premenstrual Syndrome Scale.ResultsThere was a statistically significant difference between the pre‐test mean scores and the first, second and third follow‐up mean scores; and between the first follow‐up mean score and the second and the third follow‐up mean scores in the repeated measurements of the intervention group (p <.05). The mean scores of the intervention group were found to be significantly lower than the control group in the second and third follow‐ups (p < .05).ConclusionIn conclusion, HBM‐based health education was effective for coping with PMS. It is recommended for dealing with PMS to use HBM‐based education programmes, to motivate the students for life style changes, and to identify the obstacles and the benefits perceived about PMS.
Attachment provision in the Saudi orphanages: Exploring the narratives of residential staff
Authors: Sochos Antigonos , Al‐Jasas Najla 
Published: January 2020

This qualitative study explored the accounts of 50 residential childcare staff in Saudi Arabia, aiming to identify ways in which staff and residential institutions may function as attachment objects for the children in their care. Rather than conducting a formal attachment assessment, a semi‐structured interview schedule was utilised, intending to generate novel insights into the child–carer relationship. Informed by attachment theory, thematic analysis suggested that keyworkers' narratives were organised around three conceptual dichotomies –social rejectionversussocial acceptance,distressversuscontainment anddevelopment of the selfversusbonding. The accounts also indicated that staff and institutions might encounter significant challenges in providing emotional security to the orphans, challenges touching upon all three levels – individual, dyadic and collective.Key Practitioner Message: •The study identified main ways in which the orphanages and their staff facilitate or inhibit the formation of secure bonds between them and the children in their care; •The study highlights that attachment provision in those institutions should be explored at the individual, dyadic, organisational and sociocultural levels; •Change in care arrangements should address all these levels, with an emphasis on improving child and staff psychological well‐being, staff working conditions and staff training and education. Interventions should also challenge deeply rooted stigmatising attitudes.
Design of p‐type NKN‐based piezoelectric ceramics sintered in low oxygen partial pressure by defect engineering

Published: January 2020

AbstractThe reduction‐resistant properties of piezoelectric ceramics are of great importance for multilayer monolithic structures based on base metal inner electrodes, particularly for recently reported niobate‐based lead‐free perovskites. In this letter, the Hall‐effect measurement and impedance analysis indicate that conventional (K,Na)NbO3 (NKN)‐based ceramics exhibit an n‐type electronic conduction. Rapid increase in the concentrations of oxygen vacancies and electrons is responsible for severe degradation of resistivity and piezoelectric properties as sintered in N2. By comparison, p‐type NKN‐based ceramics by Mn doping exhibit excellent electrical properties (d33 = 368 pC/N, = 643 pm/V, tanδ = 0.019, and IR = 39.9 GΩ · cm) in N2 sintering atmosphere, as well interpreted by a series of proposed defect chemistry equations. The experimental results suggest that an introduction of the p‐type conduction behavior should be an effective strategy to enabling NKN‐based ceramics and Cu/Ni electrodes to well co‐fire in a weakly reducing atmosphere.

AbstractAimUnderstanding where and why species diversity is geographically concentrated remains a challenge in biogeography and macroevolution. This is true for the Cerrado, the most biodiverse tropical savanna in the world, which has experienced profound biodiversity loss. Previous studies have focused on a single metric (species composition), neglecting the fact that ‘species’ within the biome are often composed of cryptic species. In order to identify biodiversity hotspots more robustly and across multiple dimensions we integrate functional, spatial and new phylogeographic data for the Cerrado lizard fauna by (a) mapping the spatial patterns of species and phylogenetic diversity; and (b) using endemism measures to identify areas of unique diversity. We then quantify the extent to which existing protected areas represent the diversity.LocationBrazilian savanna (Cerrado).MethodsWe generated species distribution models using distribution records for all Cerrado lizard species. These, combined with mitochondrial DNA phylogenies and natural history data, allowed us to map species richness, phylogenetic and functional diversity and phylogenetic and weighted endemism. Phylogenetic endemism maps were then cross‐referenced against protected areas to calculate the amount of evolutionary history preserved within these areas.ResultsThe central region of the Cerrado, a vast and climatically stable plateau, stands out as important under all biodiversity metrics. Including evolutionary relationships in biodiversity assessment, we detected four regional hotspots with high concentration of spatially restricted evolutionary diversity. Protected areas cover only 10% of the Cerrado area and hold 11.64% of the summed phylogenetic endemism of all lizards in the biome.Main ConclusionsWe highlighted both stable (Chapada dos Veadeiros and Serra do Espinhaço plateaus) and environmentally heterogenous regions (Araguaia and Tocantins valleys) as hotspots of evolutionary diversity. The creation and/or manipulation of areas for conservation are essential for the conservation and survival of the rich and endemic lizard fauna of the Cerrado.
Limited mass‐independent individual variation in resting metabolic rate in a wild population of snow voles (Chionomys nivalis)

Published: January 2020

AbstractResting metabolic rate (RMR) is a potentially important axis of physiological adaptation to the thermal environment. However, our understanding of the causes and consequences of individual variation in RMR in the wild is hampered by a lack of data, as well as analytical challenges. RMR measurements in the wild are generally characterized by large measurement errors and a strong dependency on mass. The latter is problematic when assessing the ability of RMR to evolve independently of mass. Mixed models provide a powerful and flexible tool to tackle these challenges, but they have rarely been used to estimate repeatability of mass‐independent RMR from field data. We used respirometry to obtain repeated measurements of RMR in a long‐term study population of snow voles (Chionomys nivalis) inhabiting an environment subject to large circadian and seasonal fluctuations in temperature. Using both uni‐ and bivariate mixed models, we quantify individual repeatability in RMR and decompose repeatability into mass‐dependent and mass‐independent components, while accounting for measurement error. RMR varies among individuals, that is, is repeatable (R = .46) and strongly co‐varies with BM. Indeed, much of the repeatability of RMR is attributable to individual variation in BM, and the repeatability of mass‐independent RMR is reduced by 41% to R = .27. These empirical results suggest that the evolutionary potential of RMR independent of mass may be severely constrained. This study illustrates how to leverage bivariate mixed models to model field data for metabolic traits, correct for measurement error and decompose the relative importance of mass‐dependent and mass‐independent physiological variation.

Published: January 2020

AbstractEctoparasitic flatworms of Nasicola (Monogenoidea: Capsalidae), which infect nasal epithelium of true tunas (Thunnus spp.), are not well studied, nor have their impacts on the host's olfactory organ been evaluated. Infections of Nasicola hogansi on Atlantic bluefin tuna, Thunnus thynnus, were investigated with emphasis on the relationship between infection prevalence, abundance and mean intensity with bluefin tuna size, sex, body condition and capture month, as well as histopathological effects. Commercially caught Atlantic bluefin tuna (n = 161, 185–305 cm curved fork length) from the Gulf of Maine were sampled during June through August 2009 for infections by N. hogansi. A total of 247 specimens of N. hogansi were collected, with a prevalence of 45.3%, mean abundance of 1.57 (CI: 1.21–2.03) and mean intensity of 3.45 (CI: 2.91–4.22). Neither fish sex nor landing month had a significant effect on parasite parameters. Larger and better‐conditioned Atlantic bluefin tuna had a higher mean intensity of infection. Pathology associated with infection by N. hogansi included extensive necrosis, sloughing of the nasal epithelium and associated inflammation of underlying connective tissues. Further epidemiological and pathological study of this host–parasite system is warranted since impaired olfaction, if present, could adversely affect spawning and migration of this top ocean predator.
