Talent on Strike: The Musicians’ Union and the Early Agonies of the Creative Class
Authors: Miller Rachel 
Published: August 2021

AbstractIn November 1865, the membership of New York City's Musical Mutual Protective Union went on strike. Spurred by low wages and professional disrespect, union men came together around an ensemble ethic emphasizing mutual obligation among players. This powerful code of conduct—enforced through the union's internal structure and the musicians’ employment model—sustained several weeks of strike action in the face of public indifference. It also pushed musicians to close their ranks and ensured the homogeneity of the orchestra pit. The strike invites us to historicize the “creative economy,” with equal attention to the material conditions of workers and the durable conceptual categories created by the culture industries.
Mitochondrial KATP channels stabilize intracellular Ca2+ during hypoxia in retinal horizontal cells of goldfish (Carassius auratus)
Authors: Country Michael W. , Jonz Michael G. 
Published: August 2021

ABSTRACT
Neurons of the retina require oxygen to survive. In hypoxia, neuronal ATP production is impaired, ATP-dependent ion pumping is reduced, transmembrane ion gradients are dysregulated, and intracellular Ca2+ concentration ([Ca2+]i) increases enough to trigger excitotoxic cell death. Central neurons of the common goldfish (Carassius auratus) are hypoxia tolerant, but little is known about how goldfish retinas withstand hypoxia. To study the cellular mechanisms of hypoxia tolerance, we isolated retinal interneurons (horizontal cells; HCs), and measured [Ca2+]i with Fura-2. Goldfish HCs maintained [Ca2+]i throughout 1 h of hypoxia, whereas [Ca2+]i increased irreversibly in HCs of the hypoxia-sensitive rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss) with just 20 min of hypoxia. Our results suggest mitochondrial ATP-dependent K+ channels (mKATP) are necessary to stabilize [Ca2+]i throughout hypoxia. In goldfish HCs, [Ca2+]i increased when mKATP channels were blocked with glibenclamide or 5-hydroxydecanoic acid, whereas the mKATP channel agonist diazoxide prevented [Ca2+]i from increasing in hypoxia in trout HCs. We found that hypoxia protects against increases in [Ca2+]i in goldfish HCs via mKATP channels. Glycolytic inhibition with 2-deoxyglucose increased [Ca2+]i, which was rescued by hypoxia in a mKATP channel-dependent manner. We found no evidence of plasmalemmal KATP channels in patch-clamp experiments. Instead, we confirmed the involvement of KATP in mitochondria with TMRE imaging, as hypoxia rapidly (&lt;5 min) depolarized mitochondria in a mKATP channel-sensitive manner. We conclude that mKATP channels initiate a neuroprotective pathway in goldfish HCs to maintain [Ca2+]i and avoid excitotoxicity in hypoxia. This model provides novel insight into the cellular mechanisms of hypoxia tolerance in the retina.

Background/Aims Cardiac rehabilitation has long been seen as effective for many cardiovascular diseases and, more recently, as having a positive impact on patients with heart failure. To evaluative the effectiveness of a phase three specialised heart failure cardiac rehabilitation programme on patients' cardiovascular risk factor profile. Methods This retrospective, longitudinal study examined profile factors of patients, pre- and post-cardiac rehabilitation programme. Patients with New York Heart Association class I–III, of any origin, were recruited through a specialised heart failure service to a 10-week exercise and education programme. Outcome variables included anxiety, depression, quality of life (Minnesota), 6-minute walking test result, blood pressure, weight, waist circumference, body mass index, Duke Activity Status Index and self-care, and were analysed with the Statistical Package for the Social Sciences using repeated measures t-test. Results 100 patients were eligible and 85 patients completed the programmes. Mean age was 66 years, 80% male, 59% were New York Heart Association class I and 73% had ejection fraction of ≤40%. There was a significant improvement in 6-minute walking test, systolic blood pressure, quality of life and anxiety post programme. Conclusions In-hospital and out of hospital cardiac care has developed significantly, especially in acute symptom control. More recently, emphasis has been put on the long-term control of other risk factors. This study contributes to the literature indicating that attendance at a hospital-based phase three cardiac rehabilitation programme providing supervised, tailored exercise, with intensive education and psychological support, is effective in reducing risk factors and improving quality of life in patients with lower grades of heart failure.
Triple coding empowered FDMA-CDMA mode high-security CAOS camera
Authors: Riza Nabeel A. , Mazhar Mohsin A. 
Published: August 2021

For the first time, to the best of our knowledge, the hybrid triple coding empowered frequency division multiple access (FDMA)-code division multiple access (CDMA) mode of the coded access optical sensor (CAOS) camera is demonstrated. Compared to the independent FDMA and CDMA modes, the FDMA-CDMA mode has a novel high-security space-time-frequency triple signal encoding design for robust, faster, linear irradiance extraction at a moderately high dynamic range (HDR). Specifically, this hybrid mode simultaneously combines the linear HDR strength of the FDMA-mode fast Fourier transform (FFT) digital signal processing (DSP)-based spectrum analysis with the high signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) provided by the many simultaneous CAOS pixels’ photodetection of the CDMA mode. In particular, the demonstrated FDMA-CDMA mode with

P

FDMA channels provides a

times faster camera operation versus the equivalent linear HDR frequency modulation (FM)-CDMA mode. Visible band imaging experiments using a digital-micromirror-device-based CAOS camera operating in its passive light mode demonstrates a

channels FDMA-CDMA mode, illustrating high-quality image recovery of a calibrated 64 dB six-patch HDR target versus the CDMA and FM-CDMA CAOS modes, which limit dynamic range and speed, respectively. For the first time to our knowledge, we demonstrate the simultaneous dual image capture capability of the FDMA-CDMA mode using silicon (Si) and germanium (Ge) large-area point photodetectors, allowing the capture of the ultraviolet–near-infrared 350–1,800 nm full spectrum. The active FDMA-CDMA mode CAOS camera operation is also demonstrated using

images without the use of

Published: August 2021

ObjectiveAccumulating evidence suggests that amino acids, particularly tryptophan and glutamate, play an important role in the pathology of depression, but prospective epidemiologic data on this issue is scarce. We examined the association between circulating amino acids and the risk of depressive symptoms in a Japanese working population.MethodsParticipants were 841 workers who were free from depressive symptoms and provided blood at baseline and completed 3-yr follow-up survey. 30 varieties of amino acid concentrations in serum were measured using liquid chromatography/mass spectrometry. Depressive symptoms were defined using the Center for Epidemiologic Studies Depression Scale. Logistic regression was used to calculate the odds ratios of depressive symptoms according to serum amino acids with adjustment for lifestyle factors.ResultsA total of 151 (18.0%) workers were newly identified as having depressive symptoms at the follow-up. Baseline tryptophan and glutamate concentrations in serum were not appreciably associated with the risk of depressive symptoms. Risk of depressive symptoms tended to increase with increasing arginine concentrations; the multivariable-adjusted odds ratio for the highest versus lowest tertile of serum arginine was 1.65 (95% confidence interval: 0.96–2.83; P for trend = 0.07). No clear association was found for other amino acids.ConclusionsResults of the present study do not support a significant role of circulating amino acids in the development of depressive symptoms among Japanese.
Come Drive French North Africa: Cartographic and Guidebook Discourse in Michelin’s 1929 Maroc, Algérie, Tunisie
Authors: Olson Kory 
Published: August 2021

Abstract
En 1929, la compagnie Michelin publia son guide Maroc, Algérie, Tunisie pour célébrer le centenaire de l’arrivée des troupes françaises en Algérie et pour reconnaître les liens économiques et culturels entre la métropole et son empire africain. Cet article examine le discours cartographique du guide dans sa présentation d’une destination prête à accepter des automobilistes, un démographique prospère et croissant. Dans son guide, le premier à combiner les trois pays dans un seul manuel, Michelin présente un territoire français avec des instructions détaillées pour le traverser par des routes existantes. Michelin encourage également l’exploration des merveilles naturelles de la région par 26 excursions et leurs cartes simples. Cependant, c’est peut-être la “Nomenclature des villes” qui incarne mieux son but. Ici, Michelin fournit des classements utiles des hôtels et garages ainsi que des plans simples et clairs des 50 communes (grandes et petites). Ces plans guident le lecteur à travers un territoire inconnu et éliminent toute hésitation potentielle à traverser l’Afrique du Nord.
« Une République s’étendant sur plusieurs continents » : le projet non advenu du Comité d’action pour une République fédérale française de 1957
Authors: Houle Vincent 
Published: August 2021

Abstract
In reaction to the imperial fragmentation and particularly to Algerian demands, various solutions were considered in 1950s metropolitan France. The project published in 1957 by the Comité d’action pour une République fédérale française stood out: it proposed a new constitution that would extend the Republic to a federal entity comprising the metropole, the colonies, as well as territories and departments of the “outre-mer.” Supported by a notable federalist organization, this “Republic extending to multiple continents” sought to maintain imperial dynamics despite progressive claims. Through the analysis of this project that never occurred, I state that the imperial crisis led some French to conceptualize the Republic outside of its traditional nation-state boundaries. The imagined French federal republic included many territories and people, a vision that can only be understood through an extended conceptual frame detached from the national paradigm.
“I May Vote Like All Women”: Protest, Gender, and Suffrage in French Senegal, 1944–1945
Authors: Fransee Emily Lord 
Published: August 2021

Abstract
En 1945 dans les Quatre Communes du Sénégal français, des manifestations en faveur du suffrage des femmes ont démontré l’importance du genre dans les débats sur les limites de la citoyenneté coloniale française. Cet article contextualise les manifestations nées des conflits d’après-guerre dans le discours de la réforme coloniale, la création de l’Union française et l’institution du suffrage féminin. Ainsi, il contribue aux études récentes sur l’histoire du genre et de l’impérialisme, de la citoyenneté coloniale et de l’universalisme. Au Sénégal en 1945, les hommes et les femmes ont combiné des modes locaux d’activisme et de pouvoir avec un vocabulaire républicain français pour affirmer le droit de vote des femmes. Cela souligne les nombreuses façons dont les personnes extérieures à l’administration coloniale ont structuré la politique coloniale. Les débats sur l’autonomie et les droits politiques n’étaient pas exclusivement nationalistes, mais pouvaient aussi soutenir un système politique transformé dans lequel les habitants de l’empire jouaient un rôle actif et égal.
On the rotational symmetry of 3-dimensional κ-solutions

Published: August 2021

Abstract
In a recent paper, Brendle showed the uniqueness of the Bryant soliton among 3-dimensional κ-solutions.
In this paper, we present an alternative proof for this fact and show that compact κ-solutions are rotationally symmetric.
Our proof arose from independent work relating to our Strong Stability Theorem for singular Ricci flows.
Bayesian multi-response nonlinear mixed-effect model: application of two recent HIV infection biomarkers
Authors: Castel Charlotte , Sommen Cécile , Chatignoux Edouard , Le Strat Yann , Alioum Ahmadou 
Published: August 2021

Abstract
Since the discovery of the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) 35 years ago, the epidemic is still ongoing in France. To monitor the dynamics of HIV transmission and assess the impact of prevention campaigns, the main indicator is the incidence. One method to estimate the HIV incidence is based on biomarker values at diagnosis and their dynamics over time. Estimating the HIV incidence from biomarkers first requires modeling their dynamics since infection using external longitudinal data. The objective of the work presented here is to estimate the joint dynamics of two biomarkers from the PRIMO cohort. We thus jointly modeled the dynamics of two biomarkers (TM and V3) using a multi-response nonlinear mixed-effect model. The parameters were estimated using Bayesian Hamiltonian Monte Carlo inference. This procedure was first applied to the real data of the PRIMO cohort. In a simulation study, we then evaluated the performance of the Bayesian procedure for estimating the parameters of multi-response nonlinear mixed-effect models.
Empirical influence functions and their non-standard applications
Authors: Duchnowski Robert , Wyszkowska Patrycja 
Published: August 2021

Abstract
The main objective of the empirical influence function (EIF) is to describe how estimates behave when an observation set is affected by gross errors. Unlike the influence function, which represents the estimation method’s general properties, EIF can provide valuable information about applying different methods to a particular network. The chosen example allows us to compare different robust methods. The paper focuses on non-standard applications of EIF, for example, in assuming steering parameter of robust methods (usually related to the assumed interval for acceptable observation errors). The paper shows that commonly used values do not always work well, and EIFs might help choose appropriate values, guaranteeing the estimation process’s robustness. The most important new application of EIFs concerns the detection and assessment of a single gross error. The blinded experiments proved that such an approach is correct and can be an alternative to classic statistical tests for outlier detection.
‚können‘ als kommunikative Ressource zur Markierung des Möglichkeitsraums bei Teilhabeeinschränkungen
Authors: Kohl Justine , Dobslaw Gudrun 
Published: August 2021

Abstract
To people with impairments, communicating their capabilities to participate in social life is a central issue. In this paper, we examine these very capabilities in the context of the use of the German modal verb können. We show that in the present data – group conversations from ‘Future Workshops’ embedded in the research project ‘Gut leben in NRW’ – the modal verb functions as a communicative resource which participants use to mark and articulate their own capabilities on a linguistic as well as interactional level, to negotiate them and to position themselves along with it. On the methodological level, concepts from two different disciplines are linked: the social science capability approach of Sen (2010) and Nussbaum (1999) and conversation analysis according to Deppermann (2008 [1999])
Die Nativierung des Standarddeutschen
Authors: Pröll Simon 
Published: August 2021

AbstractPresently, Standard German is in the process of becoming a nativized variety of German after centuries without native speakers. Over the course of the twentieth and twenty-first century, an increasing number of speakers have acquired Standard German as a first language, marking an important transitional phase in its social history. The article first discusses this from a theoretical and socio-historical perspective before providing empirical evidence for this change: Drawing on data from an apparent time study (involving 142 participants aged 20 to 90) and an experimental elicitation (from 35 kindergartners), it documents that at the present stage two typologically distinct systems can be observed in Southern Germany: Both a non-standard suprasegmental system that allows stressed syllables to be light and the Standard German system that requires stressed syllables to be heavy exist and are used simultaneously. The analyses show an ongoing shift towards the Standard German syllable system, proving that the Standard German syllable system is indeed undergoing a nativization process. The article closes with implications for language teaching, variational linguistics and the typological assessment of German that arise from these findings.
Development of Marble Dust/Waste PET Based Polymer Composite Material for Environmental Sustainability: Fabrication and Characterizations
Authors: Islam Anas , Dwivedi Shashi Prakash , Kumar Dwivedi Vijay , Sharma Shubham , Kozak Dražan 
Published: August 2021

Abstract
Polyethylene terephthalate (PET) is available at a very low cost compared to the conventional methods of disposal. The reason for using marble dust is that it has good mechanical properties, and it is also a nonflammable compound. To develop the biocomposite, PET was allowed to mix with marble dust in a screwed extruder, and then its mechanical and physical properties were examined. Results indicate that the highest value of tensile strength was 14.5 MPa found at 15 wt. % of marble dust; the highest value of hardness was 31.45 HV at a wt. % of 17.5 % of marble dust; the highest ductility (percent elongation) was 2.2 at 0 wt. % of marble dust; and the highest value of compressive strength was 72.32 MPa at a wt. % of 17.5 % of marble dust. Because of its excellent mechanical and thermal properties, the addition of marble dust enhances the mechanical properties of the developed biocomposite significantly compared to the base material. The water absorption test, soil degradation test, and acid corrosion test of developed biocomposite has also been observed to identify the effect of marble dust in PET. In the current study, an attempt has been made to produce a composite material by utilizing waste PET as a matrix and marble dust as a reinforcement. The main reason for utilizing these wastes is to minimize the pollution that is caused by these agents.
Zur Haftung für fehlerhafte Sekundärmarktinformation im Lichte der Hypo Real Estate-Entscheidung des BGH
Authors: Nietsch Michael 
Published: August 2021

Zusammenfassung
Im unlängst ergangenen Hypo Real Estate-Beschluss entwickelt der BGH seine Rechtsprechung zu mehreren Grundsatzfragen der Haftung für fehlerhafte Ad-hoc-Mitteilungen (nunmehr §§ 97, 98 WpHG) weiter. Im Mittelpunkt steht dabei die Erwägung, dass eine von diesen Vorschriften nicht erfasste informelle Verlautbarung des Emittenten (konkret eine Pressemitteilung) im Falle ihrer Fehlerhaftigkeit zu einer neuen Insiderinformation führt. Die dergestalt entstandene Korrekturpflicht fügt sich nur auf den ersten Blick problemlos in das System der Ad-hoc-Publizitätspflicht. Bei näherer Betrachtung erweist sie sich zumindest als ergänzungsbedürftig. Der nachfolgende Beitrag zeichnet die wesentlichen Aussagen der Entscheidung nach und analysiert die sich daraus ergebenden Folgefragen.

Published: August 2021

Objective
We aimed to investigate the diagnostic accuracy of
copeptin to detect transient ischemic attack (TIA) by
comparing the plasma copeptin levels of patients diagnosed
with TIA who were admitted to the Emergency
Department (ED) with those of healthy controls.
Materials and Methods
We conducted a prospective case-control study
among patients admitted to the ED with a neurological
symptom. The patients diagnosed with TIA by the
neurologist were included. The results of electrocardiography,
magnetic resonance imaging, and carotid
doppler ultrasonography investigations of 38 patients;
the ED outcomes (hospitalization, discharge), the risk
group distribution (according to ABCD2 scores), and
the variables regarding one-year re-event incidence
were compared. Additionally, the serum copeptin levels
of the patients were compared to those of healthy
controls.
Results
The mean copeptin level was 435.80 ± 316.45 pg/ml
in the patient group, whereas it was 770.20 ± 912.53
pg/ml in the control group. The mean copeptin level of
patients with TIA was significantly lower (p = 0.018). In
the diagnosis of TIA, copeptin had 60.53% sensitivity
and 68.42% specificity at a cut-off value of 386.28 pg/
ml, in all the participants. In addition, in participants
above 60 years old, copeptin had 75.86% sensitivity
and 72.41% specificity at a cut-off value of 460.37 pg/
ml.
Conclusion
To the best of our knowledge, this is the first study
demonstrating the high efficacy of a serum biomarker
in the diagnosis of TIA. Emergency physicians should
search for alternative diagnoses in patients with a low
degree of clinical suspicion and a lower copeptin value.
