ABSTRACT
Thermal dependence of growth and metabolism can influence thermal preference and tolerance in marine ectotherms, including threatened and data-deficient species. Here, we quantified the thermal dependence of physiological performance in neonates of a tropical shark species (blacktip reef shark, Carcharhinus melanopterus) from shallow, nearshore habitats. We measured minimum and maximum oxygen uptake rates (ṀO2), calculated aerobic scope, excess post-exercise oxygen consumption and recovery from exercise, and measured critical thermal maxima (CTmax), thermal safety margins, hypoxia tolerance, specific growth rates, body condition and food conversion efficiencies at two ecologically relevant acclimation temperatures (28 and 31°C). Owing to high post-exercise mortality, a third acclimation temperature (33°C) was not investigated further. Acclimation temperature did not affect ṀO2 or growth, but CTmax and hypoxia tolerance were greatest at 31°C and positively associated. We also quantified in vitro temperature (25, 30 and 35°C) and pH effects on haemoglobin–oxygen (Hb–O2) affinity of wild-caught, non-acclimated sharks. As expected, Hb–O2 affinity decreased with increasing temperatures, but pH effects observed at 30°C were absent at 25 and 35°C. Finally, we logged body temperatures of free-ranging sharks and determined that C. melanopterus neonates avoided 31°C in situ. We conclude that C. melanopterus neonates demonstrate minimal thermal dependence of whole-organism physiological performance across a seasonal temperature range and may use behaviour to avoid unfavourable environmental temperatures. The association between thermal tolerance and hypoxia tolerance suggests a common mechanism warranting further investigation. Future research should explore the consequences of ocean warming, especially in nearshore, tropical species.
Three new suggested guidelines for increased transparency regarding open access article processing charges (APCs)
Authors: Teixeira da Silva Jaime A. 
Published: July 2020

The article processing charge (APC) lies at the heart of the gold open access (GOA) business model. Small and larger society-based, as well as commercial publishers, rely – to different extents – on the APC and the GOA model to thrive. There is wide debate regarding what amount of APC is considered to be exploitative, and the issue of low APCs is often erroneously associated with “predatory” OA publishing. Independent of this debate, there is still, surprisingly, considerable opacity related to the APC used to cover the cost of GOA. In a bid to increase transparency, a simple 3-point plan at increasing academic and financial transparency of authors and journals/publishers regarding APCs is proposed: 1) indicate which author paid the APC in multi-author papers; 2) indicate the value of the APC paid; 3) provide online proof or certification of APC payment, including the indication of any discounts or waivers.

Published: July 2020

A distributed and dynamic strain sensing system based on
frequency-scanning phase-sensitive optical time domain reflectometry
is proposed and demonstrated. By utilizing an RF pulse scheme with a
fast arbitrary waveform generator, a train of optical pulses covering
a large range of different optical frequencies, short pulse width, and
high extinction ratio is generated. Also, a Rayleigh-enhanced fiber is
used to eliminate the need for averaging, allowing single-shot
operation. Using direct detection and harnessing a dedicated least
mean square algorithm, the method exhibits a record high spatial
resolution of 20 cm, concurrently with a large measurable strain range (

Introducción: Estudio piloto que determina el diagnóstico de sarcopenia mediante tomografía computarizada (TC) a nivel de la tercera vértebra cervical (C3) y dinamometría en pacientes con cáncer de cabeza y cuello. Comparación de la masa magra (MM) determinada mediante TC con técnicas clásicas de antropometría y dinamometría.Material y métodos: Se analizó la MM y el tejido adiposo mediante TC a nivel de C3 en 37 pacientes oncológicos mediante Unidades Hounsfield (UH). Posteriormente, se calculó el índice musculoesquelético (IME) y se determinó la fuerza prensora de mano para la determinación de sarcopenia. Por último, se comparó el IME mediante técnicas de valoración antropométrica clásica y dinamometría. Resultados: El 59,46% de los pacientes presentaron un IME (cm2/m2) disminuido, el 64,86% dinapenia, el 54,05% sarcopenia, el 32,43% sarcopenia dentro del sobrepeso y obesidad. Por otro lado, la media de la masa grasa intermuscular fue 6,69 (3,8) cm2, y la masa grasa intramuscular 2,06 (1,11) cm2. Además, se encontró una asociación estadísticamente significativa entre la fuerza tanto en la mano fuerte (estimado = 0,412, IC95% [0,219; 0,605], p-valor <0,001) como en la mano débil (estimado =0,289, IC95% [0,123; 0,454], p-valor <0,001) y el IME cm2/m2. Respecto a la circunferencia muscular braquial), no alcanzamos a mostrar correlación positiva.Conclusiones: Nuestro estudio muestra que en el paciente con cáncer de cabeza y cuello la prevalencia de sarcopenia es elevada. Además, la depleción muscular evaluada mediante TC a nivel de C3 y dinamometría presenta cierta correlación, por lo que, aquellos pacientes con mayor depleción muscular a nivel de C3 presentan menor funcionalidad.
Evolution du vivant - Histoire du pensant : De la possibilité d’un homomorphisme
Authors: Donnadieu Gérard 
Published: July 2020

La recherche de similitudes ou de corrélations entre l’évolution des êtres vivants et celle des sociétés humaines n’est pas chose nouvelle. Les philosophes s’y sont longtemps essayés avant que les scientifiques ne prennent le relai. En tirant partie des nouvelles découvertes survenues dans ce dernier demi-siècle tant dans les sciences de la vie que dans les sciences sociales, est-il possible de reprendre aujourd’hui cette réflexion à nouveaux frais ? Telle est l’ambition de la présente communication qui s’efforce d’éclairer l’une par l’autre ces nouvelles découvertes faites sur le vivant et le pensant en les fédérant au moyen d’un concept emprunté à l’approche systémique: l’homomorphisme. A mi-chemin de la métaphore et de la modélisation à prétention exhaustive, l’homomorphisme est une analogie partielle et imparfaite entre deux systèmes concrets, analogie néanmoins éclairante et féconde.Cet homomorphisme sera mené à undouble niveau :

celui des moteurs de l’évolution du vivant d’une part, en reprenant des travaux récents qui cherchent à dépasser le néo-darwinisme; des moteurs del’histoire humaine d’autre part, à partir des analysesdu grand historien britannique Arnold Toynbee.
celui de la description phénoménologique de l’évolution sur la longue durée, aussi bien celle des systèmes vivants que des cultures humaines et civilisations. Peut-on discerner dans cette "évolution longue" des lois tendancielles et y découvrirune orientation (au double sens de direction et de signification) comme le pensait Teilhard de Chardin ?

Par ces confrontations, l’auteur de la présente communication espère montrer que l’évolution du vivant peut aider à comprendre l’histoire du pensant,et réciproquement que l’histoire des cultures humaines et des civilisations peut aider à comprendre la plasticité et l’inventivité du vivant.
L’évaluation circulaire : Un modèle systémique pour permettre aux organisations humaines de s’inscrire dans la durabilité
Authors: Piecq Andrée 
Published: July 2020

Le modèle systémique – « L’évaluation circulaire » – a été élaboré sur le plan théorique et a été mis en pratique. Son objectif est d’inscrire toutes les organisations marchandes, non marchandes ou administratives dans la durabilité. A intervalles réguliers, il accède à leur structure pour diagnostiquer leur fonctionnement. Il a été élaboré par Andrée Piecq dans le cadre de ses travaux centrés sur les organisations humaines.L’« évaluation circulaire » est un processus qui, grâce à des observations multipliées dans le temps du fonctionnement de l’organisation, empêche l’apparition de spirales négatives. En effet, ce sont ces spirales qui menacent la durabilité de l’organisation.Ce processus s’inscrit dans :

une évaluation permanente ;
la prise en compte des contextes, y compris celui du temps ;
l’analyse des douze « principes directeurs » ;
la mise en exergue les symptômes de bon fonctionnement ou de dysfonctionnement ;
l’élaboration du diagnostic du fonctionnement de l’organisation ;
l’élaboration des stratégies de changement/non changement qui répondent à la finalité del’organisation.

En conclusion ce processus permet l’augmentation de la créativité de l’organisation et la conduit à s’inscrire dans la durabilité.

In particular, we establish almost sharp results for

Die zwei Sprachsubjekte Searles – Kritische Reflexionen über Searles geistfundierte Sprachtheorie
Authors: Niemann Robert 
Published: July 2020

AbstractDer Beitrag fragt im Kern nach dem Sprachsubjektverständnis bei Searle. Mit einer geistphilosophisch grundierten Lesart wird der These nachgegangen, dass in Searles Ansatz eigentlichzweiSprachsubjektverständnisse enthalten sind. DasoffizielleSprachsubjekt lässt sich aus der analogen Geist-Sprechakt-Beziehung ableiten und als eine Art botenmäßiges Subjekt fassen. Dasinoffizielle, von Searle selbst nicht ausbuchstabierte Sprachsubjekt wäre demgegenüber ein körperlicher Sprecher. Dieses erscheint dabei als das eigentlich konsequentere und folgerichtigere Subjekt, wenn man die Prämissen von Searles ‚biologischem Naturalismus‘ ernst nimmt.
Effect of Fe and Co promoters on CO methanation activity of nickel catalyst prepared by impregnation – co-precipitation method
Authors: Battulga Buyan-Ulzii , Bold Tungalagtamir , Byambajav Enkhsaruul 
Published: July 2020

Abstract
Ni based catalysts supported on γ-Al2O3 that was unpromoted (Ni/γAl2O3) or promoted (Ni–Fe/γAl2O3, Ni–Co/γAl2O3, and Ni–Fe–Co/γAl2O3) were prepared using by the impregnation – co-precipitation method. Their catalytic performances for CO methanation were studied at 3 atm with a weight hourly space velocity (WHSV) of 3000 ml/g/h of syngas with a molar ratio of H2/CO = 3 and in the temperature range between 130 and 350 °C. All promoters could improve nickel distribution, and decreased its particle sizes. It was found that the Ni–Co/γAl2O3 catalyst showed the highest catalytic performance for CO methanation in a low temperature range (<250 °C). The temperatures for the 20% CO conversion over Ni–Co/γAl2O3, Ni–Fe/γAl2O3, Ni–Fe–Co/γAl2O3 and Ni/γAl2O3 catalysts were 205, 253, 263 and 270 °C, respectively. The improved catalyst distribution by the addition of cobalt promoter caused the formation of β type nickel species which had an appropriate interacting strength with alumina support in the Ni–Co/γAl2O3. Though an addition of iron promoter improved catalyst distribution, the methane selectivity was lowered due to acceleration of both CO methanation and WGS reaction with the Ni–Fe/γAl2O3. Moreover, it was found that there was no synergetic effect from the binary Fe–Co promotors in the Ni–Fe–Co/γAl2O3 on catalytic activity for CO methanation.
The Search for Happiness, Towards a Practical Theology of Joy: Faith Seeking Beatific Happiness – Fides Quaerens Beatitudinem
Authors: Louw Daniel 
Published: July 2020

Abstract
In the light of the eudaimonic principle of pleasure/enjoyment, the question is posed: What is meant by a spirituality of happiness? In terms of the eucharistic perspective of graceful living, and the view that human beings are actually playful artists (homo ludens), a practical theology of joy is proposed: fides quaerens beatitudinem – faith seeking joyful happiness. In the light of the Christian connection between a benevolence of grace and the biblical notion of the beatitudes, happiness is presented as a kind of makariology: the interplay between the benediction of a blessing and the fortitude of a peaceful mind. “Beatific enjoyment” (fruitio beatifica) is proposed as a practical theological conceptualisation of the “praxis of God”.
Practical Theology in the United States 2000–2020 with Attention to Its Emergence in the Twentieth Century
Authors: Ramsay Nancy J. 
Published: July 2020

Abstract
Practical Theology (PT) in the US emerged in the latter half of the 20th century shaped by the epistemological turn toward a critical postmodernity and liberation theologies. This article traces the emergence of PT in the 20th and first two decades of the 21st century including attention to the emergence of several constitutive fields and the Association of Practical Theology. I will attend to several trajectories: epistemological and related liberative political influences, effects of privilege and marginalization for the integrity of the discipline and the knowledge it constructs, methodological innovations, and strategies for research. The article describes emerging trajectories.

Effect of glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists on adipokine level of nonalcoholic fatty liver disease in rats fed high-fat diet
Authors: Jin Miaomiao , Niu Xiaohong , Liu Yan , Zhang Dong , Yuan Danni , Shen Huimin 
Published: July 2020

Abstract

Background
Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is the leading cause of liver disease worldwide, and no effective treatment exists until now. Glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists are becoming the preferred therapeutic option for the management of obesity and are becoming the preferred treatment options for the management of both NAFLD and type 2 diabetes mellitus, but the molecular mechanisms are still unclear.

Methods
Forty-five healthy male Wistar rats were divided into three groups: normal control, high-fat diet (HFD) group, HFD + liraglutide (100 mg/kg body weight) group. Biochemical parameters and adipokine levels were examined in the serum of rats. In order to judge the degree of steatosis of NAFLD, the magnetic resonance imaging and histopathology of the liver were also studied.

Results and conclusion
Liraglutide caused a significant decrease in the serum fasting glucose and improved the insulin resistance, dyslipidemia, and liver enzymes. It reduced the adipokine level, and alleviated the histopathology of liver of rats in the steatosis, ballooning, and lobular inflammation when compared to the HFD group. Thus, liraglutide demonstrated amelioration of NAFLD by decreasing the adipokine levels in this animal model and seems to be a promising molecule for the management of NAFLD.

Fetish-Oriented Ontology
Authors: Braune Sean 
Published: July 2020

Abstract
In her essay, “After de Brosses” (2017), Rosalind C. Morris briefly considers the historical importance of the concept of the fetish on the relatively recent movements of new materialism, but she does not engage with Speculative Realism and Object-Oriented Ontology. This essay addresses this gap and focuses on the influence of the fetish on Speculative Realism and Object-Oriented Ontology by focusing on Graham Harman’s conception of objects and Quentin Meillassoux’s theory of arche-fossils. In short, I am offering a posthumanist theorization of the fetish in order to argue that Object-Oriented Ontology can be considered, at points, to be a fetish-oriented ontology and that this notion of the fetish allows us to think about philosophical considerations of objects in a new light.
Effect of forward expansion angle on film cooling characteristics of shaped holes
Authors: Zhang Bo , Lin Li-Bing , Li Ji-Quan , Zhang Na-Ru , Ji Hong-Hu 
Published: July 2020

AbstractAccording to the design requirements of high-temperature combustion chamber, an advanced shaped hole structure was designed for film cooling. Numerical method was applied in this study to investigate the flow and heat transfer characteristics of shaped holes and compared with those of cylindrical holes. The influence of the forward expansion angle of shaped holes on the flow and heat transfer was studied. The results show that compared to cylindrical holes, the diffused structure of shaped holes decreases the momentum of jet flow, improves the adhesion characteristics of the cooling air film, increases the diffusion of the coolant air outflow and improves the cooling efficiency between adjacent columns of holes in the lateral direction. When the forward expansion angle increases, the expansion section induced the flow vortex, which reduces the radial velocity of coolant flow and enhances the diffusion of cooling air film both in streamwise and spanwise directions. However, as the forward expansion angle increases further, the scale of vortex inside the shaped hole grows. Too large vortex inside the shaped hole increases the coolant eject angle, which weakens the film covering effect. Additionally, the shaped hole results in an increase in lateral spreading and enhances the cooling effect between adjacent columns of the film hole. The enhancement of the film cooling characteristics is due to the change in the shape of the film hole, resulting in the enhancement of the flow vortex, which induces complicated secondary flow.

Abstract

Objective
Hemoglobinopathies are a common public health problem in Turkey. In the screening of these disorders in population, cation-exchange high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) is accepted as the gold standard method. In this study, the aim was to assess four different HPLC devices used in hemoglobinopathy screening.

Materials and methods
A total of 58 blood samples were analyzed with four different HPLC methods (Bio-Rad variant II, Agilent 1100, Tosoh G8 and Trinity Ultra2 trademarks).

Results
The comparison study demonstrated a good correlation between the results of each HPLC analyzer and the reference value obtained by averaging all the HbA2 results belonging to the methods tested in the study [ (Tosoh G8 (r=0.988), Bio-Rad variant II (r=0.993), Agilent 1100 (r=0.98) and Trinity Ultra2 (r=0.992) ]. HbA2 determination in the presence of HbE was interfered in both Bio-Rad variant II and Tosoh G8.

Conclusion
The analyzers were found to have compatible HbA2 results but with accompanying different degrees of proportional and systematic biases. HPLC analyzers may be affected by different hemoglobin variants at different HbA2 concentrations, which is an important point to take into consideration during the evaluation of HbA2 results in thalassemia screening.
