OBJECTIVES:
Acute decompensated heart failure (ADHF) is a clinical condition that requires urgent diagnosis and treatment. Patients present with pulmonary capillary wedge pressure, pulmonary arterial pressure, and venous pressure elevation. Along with the progressive deterioration observed in the clinical picture, impairment or deterioration of kidney function may also occur. In this study, we evaluated the B-type natriuretic peptide (BNP)/ferritin ratio as a predictor of the risk of developing acute renal injury (ARI) in ADHF.

METHODS:
A total of 157 patients with a diagnosis of ischemic dilated cardiomyopathy for more than 6 months that presented to our clinic with ADHF were included in this cohort study. After the treatment protocol was applied, the sample was divided into two groups as patients with and without ARI. The BNP and ferritin levels were examined along with the routine blood parameters (BNP), and the BNP, ferritin, and BNP/ferritin values were compared between the groups.

RESULTS:
ARI was present in 34.3% (n = 54) of the patients, who were also found to have higher BNP (892.76 vs. 817.54), lower ferritin (86.78 ± 57.2 vs. 105.46 ± 38.3), and higher BNP/ferritin (10.48 ± 2.14 vs. 7.89 ± 1.89). The multivariate logistic regression analysis revealed the BNP/ferritin ratio as an independent risk factor for ARI (odds ratio = 3.19; 95% CI, 1.92-6.54; P = 0.001). Using the receiver operating characteristic curve, a cutoff value of 9.32 for BNP/ferritin ratio had a sensitivity of 81.8% and a specificity of 93.5% (area under the curve 0.842, P < 0.001) for the prediction of ARI.

CONCLUSION:
The BNP/ferritin ratio is a new parameter that can be used to draw attention to the severity of the treatment and renal function in ADHF cases in emergency situations.

Symptomatic sweet potato cv Arapey INIA samples were collected from a commercial production field in Colonia Molina, Guaymallén department, Mendoza province, Argentina. They showed dark rounded lesions, sometimes coalescing with white granular mycelium. Fungus was obtained from symptomatic sweet potatoes, which represented the generalized infection that affected the crop. They were seeded in PDA with streptomycin sulfate and incubated for seven days at 21°C, alternating white/black (UV400nm) light. Observations with an optical microscope revealed the presence of hyaline, not septated, cylindrical endoconidia with rounded ends. They were 8-16 μm length and 4–6 μm width. Phialides were 43-46 μm length, rounded bases (7-9 μm width) and tapering to the neck´s tip (4-6 μm width). Brown chlamydospores (aleuriospores), 9-13 μm length and 8-12 μm width, in chains of 2-8 spores were observed. For molecular identification, total genomic DNA was extracted. ITS fragment of 565 pb was amplified using ITS5/ITS4 primers and sequenced. The sequence indicated 99% identity with Berkeleyomyces basicola (synonymous: Thielaviopsis basicola). This was deposited in GenBank as (KX580957) (CBS: C430.74, Gen Bank accession number AF275482.1). This is the first report of B. basicola in sweet potato in Argentina, a potential threat to storage root yields.

The adsorption and activation processes of CO2 and H2 on Ni5 catalyst supported on activated carbon (Ni5/AC) were investigated by using density functional theory at GGA-PBE/DZP level of theory and climbing image – nudged elastic band (CI-NEB) method. The adsorption energy, charges on atoms, bond orders and geometry parameters were calculated and analyzed. The most favourable adsorption configurations were determined. The results show that H2 and CO2 are chemically adsorbed on Ni5/AC. The adsorption process does not involved a transition state. CO2 is strongly activated on Ni5/AC system.
Le Conte et le masque ou les équivoques de l’autobiographie dans "Le Cœur à rire et à pleurer" de Maryse Condé
Authors: Hamot Odile 
Published: July 2021

C’est la question des rapports entre fiction et autobiographie dans l’écriture de Maryse Condé que cette étude aimerait examiner à travers le cas du Cœur à rire et pleurer dont l’ambiguïté générique n’a pas toujours été perçue par les lecteurs, enclins à y voir la relation factuelle de l’enfance guadeloupéenne de l’écrivain. Or, tel n’était sans doute pas le dessein de l’auteur et nombre d’éléments, paratextuels notamment, invitent à la circon­spec­tion : à commencer par la notion, restée ininterrogée, de « conte vrai », mais encore l’épigraphe proustienne qui semble, à l’orée du livre, dénoncer comme vaines toute prétention à la restitution du passé et toute tentation d’une lecture trop clairement biographique. Sans doute est-ce dans cette oscillation entre les deux pôles contra­dictoires de la réalité et de la fiction que s’inscrit l’esthétique du masque et de l’obliquité mise en œuvre par Maryse Condé, comme unique façon, peut-être, d’accéder à une vérité de l’être, éminemment littéraire et, en définitive, seule vraie.

Abstract. For the first time, this article presents a large dataset of
precipitation isotopic measurements (δ18Op and δ2Hp) sampled every day or 2 d from seven sites on a
west-to-east transect across northern Spain for 2010–2017. The main aim of
this study is to (1) characterize the rainfall isotopic variability in
northern Spain at daily and monthly timescales and (2) assess the
principal factors influencing rainfall isotopic variability. The relative
role of air temperature and rainfall in determining the stable isotope
composition of precipitation changes along the west-to-east transect, with
air temperature being highly correlated with δ18Op at daily and
monthly timescales, while a few sites along the transect show a significant
negative correlation with precipitation. The highest air temperature–δ18Op dependency is found for a station located in the Pyrenees.
Frontal systems associated with North Atlantic cyclones are the dominant
mechanism inducing precipitation in this region, particularly in winter.
This study allows an exploration of the role of air mass source and
trajectory in determining the isotopic composition of rainfall in northern
Iberia by characterizing the moisture uptake for three of the seven
stations. The importance of continental versus marine moisture sources is
evident, with clear seasonal and spatial variations. In addition, the type
of precipitation (convective versus frontal rainfall) plays a key role, with
convective rainfall associated with higher δ18Op values.
This comprehensive spatiotemporal approach to analyzing the rainfall
isotopic composition represents another step forward towards developing a
more detailed, mechanistic framework for interpreting stable isotopes in
rainfall as a paleoclimate and hydrological tracer.
Viscosity and phase state of aerosol particles consisting of sucrose mixed with inorganic salts

Published: July 2021

Abstract. Research on the viscosity and phase state of aerosol particles is essential because of their significant influence on the particle growth rate,
equilibration times, and related evolution of mass concentration as well as heterogeneous reactions. So far, most studies of viscosity and phase
state have been focused on organic aerosol particles, yet data on how viscosity can vary when the organic materials are mixed with inorganic salts
remain scarce. Herein, using bead-mobility and poke-and-flow techniques, we quantified viscosities at 293 ± 1 K for binary mixtures
of organic material / H2O and inorganic salts / H2O, as well as ternary mixtures of organic material / inorganic salts / H2O
over the atmospheric relative humidity (RH) range. Sucrose as the organic species and calcium nitrate (Ca(NO3)2) or magnesium nitrate
(Mg(NO3)2) as the inorganic salts were examined. For binary sucrose / H2O particles, the viscosities gradually increased from
∼ 3 × 10−2 to ≳1 × 108 Pa s as RH decreased from ∼ 75 % to ∼ 25 %. Compared
with the results for the sucrose / H2O particles, binary Ca(NO3)2/H2O and Mg(NO3)2/H2O
particles showed drastic enhancements to ≳1 × 108 Pa s at low RH close to the efflorescence RH. For ternary
mixtures of sucrose / Ca(NO3)2 / H2O or sucrose / Mg(NO3)2 / H2O, with organic-to-inorganic mass ratios of
1:1, the viscosities of the particles gradually increased from ∼ 3 × 10−2 to greater than
∼ 1 × 108 Pa s for RH values from ∼ 75 % to ∼ 5 %. Compared to the viscosities of the
Ca(NO3)2/H2O particles, higher viscosities were observed for the ternary sucrose / Ca(NO3)2 / H2O
particles, with values increased by about 1 order of magnitude at 50 % RH and about 6 orders of magnitude at 35 % RH. Moreover, we applied a
thermodynamics-based group-contribution model (AIOMFAC-VISC, Aerosol Inorganic–Organic Mixtures Functional groups Activity Coefficients Viscosity) to predict aerosol viscosities for the studied systems. The model predictions and
viscosity measurements show good agreement within ∼ 1 order of magnitude in viscosity. The viscosity measurements indicate that the studied
mixed organic–inorganic particles range in phase state from liquid to semi-solid or even solid across the atmospheric RH range at a temperature of
293 K. These results support our understanding that organic / inorganic / H2O particles can exist in a liquid, semisolid, or even a
solid state in the troposphere.

Published: July 2021

Abstract. Flooding in the Amazon basin is frequently attributed to modes of
large-scale climate variability, but little attention is paid to how these
modes influence the timing and duration of floods despite their importance
to early warning systems and the significant impacts that these flood
characteristics can have on communities. In this study, river discharge data from the Global Flood Awareness System (GloFAS 2.1) and observed data at 58 gauging stations are used to examine whether positive or negative phases of several Pacific and Atlantic indices significantly alter the characteristics of river flows throughout the Amazon basin (1979–2015). Results show significant changes in both flood magnitude and duration, particularly in the north-eastern Amazon for negative El Niño–Southern Oscillation (ENSO) phases when the sea surface temperature (SST) anomaly is positioned in the central tropical Pacific. This response is not identified for the eastern Pacific index, highlighting how the response can differ between ENSO types. Although flood magnitude and duration were found to be highly correlated, the impacts of large-scale climate variability on these characteristics are non-linear; some increases in annual flood maxima coincide with decreases in flood duration. The impact of flood timing, however, does not follow any notable pattern for all indices analysed. Finally, observed and simulated changes are found to be much more highly correlated for negative ENSO phases compared to the positive phase, meaning that GloFAS struggles to accurately simulate the differences in flood characteristics between El Niño and neutral years. These results have important implications for both the social and physical sectors working towards the improvement of early warning action systems for floods.
From Richard Eden to Everything Everywhere: Discourses of travel writing from early modern editors to the contemporary travel blog
Authors: Day Matthew 
Published: July 2021

Travel blogs have become an important new form of travel writing over the last decade with some achieving more than a million page views per month, and their authors becoming topranking social influencers. The ability to load material to web pages and reach readers directly suggests that editors are superfluous in this form of travel writing. However, as this article shows, not only do bloggers adopt many of the roles traditionally associated with editors, they use very similar discourses to the editors of some of the earliest collections of travel writing. This paper explores both the continuities and differences in these discourses showing both their indebtedness, whether conscious or not, to early editors and the ways in which these discourses have changed in contemporary times to reflect the modern world of travel writing.
Neither fish nor fowl: Travelling across genres and disciplines through 21st century Australian Cli-Fi
Authors: Lovell Sue , Thomas Bridget , Wickham Olga 
Published: July 2021

In 2014, Juliet McKenna wrote ’The genre debate: Science fiction travels farther than literary fiction’ (McKenna 2014). This title aligns literature and genre with travel, but she also resorts to place-based metaphors to establish the distance between specific types of writing. ‘Speculative fiction’, she suggests, ’prompts the reader to pay so much more attention, looking for the details that make sense of this strange world. Reading speculative fiction isn’t arriving in Manchester. It’s finding yourself in Outer Mongolia with no help from Lonely Planet or a rough Guide’. Cli-fi is notoriously difficult to locate generically, but thinking about it in relation to travel may assist in understanding how it works to develop contemporary identities. This paper therefore examines specifically Australian cli-fi, predominantly from the 21st century and its use of concepts familiar from travel writing. These include touristic alienation/authenticity, destination image perception as it relates to revisit intention, and mental time travel. This enables us to highlight local Australian literature in a global context in relation to cli-fi and travel. We argue that travel concepts as they are engaged in non-narrative travel literature enables an engagement with cli-fi that moves beyond debates about its generic or literary status to deeper more existentially relevant understandings of what it means to be human in the 21st century.
‘The unacceptability of the erasures’: John Hejduk’s texts for the ‘Berlin Masque’
Authors: Sioli Angeliki 
Published: July 2021

Engaging Hejduk’s compelling project, ‘Berlin Masque’ (1981), this paper looks into writing’s power to develop unforeseen possibilities of architectural program. In his ‘Berlin Masque’ proposal, unlike his earlier ‘Masques’, Hejduk clearly prioritizes his prose – not his small accompanying sketches – as the place where the architectural proposition is primarily portrayed. Unpacking these texts in detail will indicate how language represents spatial elements and allow one to imagine moments of spatial appropriation, thus creating original architectural images of cultural significance. Furthermore, the paper demonstrates how Hejduk’s texts and new programmatic possibilities aspire to reconcile Berlin with the trauma of the Second World War. His proposal intends to remind the city’s inhabitants that history is not something that is limited to the past, but a development that involves new, everyday happenings and their interaction with memory. Expanding on the rituals of inhabitation for each suggested structure, as narrated in the texts, the paper outlines how the new stories proposed by the architect acknowledge the city’s existing narratives while creating the necessary space for new ones to appear. The conclusion extracts the significance and uniqueness of the ‘Berlin Masque’ as an architectural project, as well as the significance of language for Hejduk as an architect. It discusses briefly the noted interest in ar
