Nietzsche: sobre el conflicto y el pluralismo de los ordenes legales
Authors: Siemens Herman W. 
Published: April 2021

Este artículo examina la filosofía de la vida de Nietzsche. Para ello se enmarca 1) dentro de la ontología nietzscheana del conflicto y la lucha en tanto que dimensión irreducible de la existencia humana a todos los niveles y 2) dentro del intento por parte de las «teorías agonísticas» de incorporar este supuesto a la teoría democrática. Para comenzar, en oposición a la metafísica tradicional (esto es, a la ontología de la substancia), la filosofía nietzscheana de la vida se presenta como una ontología dinámica y relacional del conflicto entre poderes que no están sujetos a ninguna substancia. Partiendo de este concepto de vida surge la pregunta: ¿cuáles son las implicaciones políticas del compromiso nietzscheano con la afirmación y con el realce o intensificación (Steigerung) de la vida? En contraposición a la interpretación común, según la cual Nietzsche abogaría por la dominación y la violencia, este texto sostiene que, según Nietzsche, la vida es intensificada al máximo cuando la lucha (o tensión) y la pluralidad son maximizadas; y que esa lucha y pluralidad son maximizadas sólo en el caso de que haya un equilibrio aproximado entre fuerzas más o menos iguales, y no bajo condiciones de dominación. Aplicando esta línea de pensamiento a la cuestión de la naturaleza y al estatus de la ley resulta que la filosofía de la vida de Nietzsche aboca en una afirmación de pluralidad de órdenes legales en tensión constructiva, lo que nos invita a plantear la pregunta acerca de las condiciones institucionales que harían esto posible.
Fisiología de la ilusión y la décadence: el problema del actor y del teatro en Nietzsche Y Wagner
Authors: Campioni Giuliano 
Published: April 2021

El punto de separación fundamental de las estéticas de Nietzsche y Wagner es el problema del comediante y el lugar del teatro en la sociedad y en las artes. Toda la crítica de Nietzsche al ideal estético wagneriano puede sintetizarse en la acusación de «teatrocracia», con todas sus implicaciones psicológicas, sociológicas e incluso políticas. Pero esta oposición puede rastrearse ya en la época schopenhaueriana y wagneriana de Nietzsche, en la que, a pesar de la admiración hacia Wagner, Nietzsche concibe y otorga al actor un papel distinto de lo que hace Wagner, en las artes y, en particular, en la música. El último Nietzsche, con su concepto del Estado dionisíaco, no hará más que radicalizar esta divergencia inicial.

Abstract
Based on the case of a highway reconstruction and extension project in Guangdong Province, a decision-making system for the treatment of the old pavement diseases of semi-rigid base asphalt pavement's reconstruction and extension has been established. The load-carrying capacity of the old pavement structure has been obtained by the Benkleman beam deflectometer; the damage condition of the road surface has been determined by investigation of road surface diseases; the restorability of the pavement diseases has been evaluated by investigation of the pavement maintenance history; the interior damage condition of the pavement has been detected by the three-dimensional ground-penetrating radar; furthermore, the decision-making system of the old pavement damage treatment scheme has been constructed and the treatment scheme of old pavement diseases has been put forward by using the four-hierarchy indexes of ‘the load-carrying capacity + the condition of road surface + the maintenance history + the interior damage condition of the pavement’; and the treatment effect of pavement diseases has been verified by bearing capacity test. The results show that the variation level of the deflection representative value of the old pavement has been reduced by about 8.2% ∼ 25.1% by adopting different diseases treatment schemes in different sections; 44.2% by adopting the deep grouting of the roadbed scheme, and 61.6% effectively by using the plan of milling all the asphalt layers and the upper base, and then relaying the C20 plain concrete to the top of the upper base and relaying asphalt mixture. The decision-making system for the treatment of the old pavement diseases of the semi-rigid base asphalt pavement's reconstruction and extension can effectively guide the treatment of old pavement disease, notably improve the load-carrying capacity of old pavement structure and the balance of the load-bearing capacity in different sections of the pavement structure.

Abstract

Objective
To describe the overall clinical characteristics of patients from the Chinese SLE Treatment and Research group (CSTAR) registry in the past 10 years.

Methods
CSTAR registry originated as a multicenter, consecutive, and prospective design launched in 2009. The data were collected online from 304 rheumatology centers, which covered 30 provinces in China. All data were generated and uploaded in the clinic directly without secondary collection, including demographic, clinical manifestations, disease activity (SLEDAI-2K) and organ damage evaluation (SLICC Damage Index), and lab test results. Biological samples were preserved for future study. Meanwhile, data cleaning and validation were managed by a professional backstage statistician.

Results
A total of 25,147 SLE patients were registered up to Dec 2019. The mean age of disease onset was 31.2 years with the age of confirmed diagnosis at 32.1 years. The male to female rate was 1:11.9. 4.6% were pediatric patients. The most common clinical presentations at entry were oral ulcer (59.4%), arthritis (55.0%), alopecia (43.22%), skin rash (40.0%), and nephritis (33.5%). The mean SLEDAI score at entry was 4 and 32.6% were in moderate to severely active disease. 66.4% and 37.8% of patients were positive for anti-ds-DNA antibody or low complement level. Additionally, 1.1% of patients were with pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH). The prevalence rate of cerebrovascular disease was 0.3%. A total of 58.2% of patients were in clinical remission when thery were registered.

Conclusions
The CSTAR registry is the largest ongoing SLE registry in China so far. More than 25,000 SLE patients are registered and nearly 10,000 are in follow-up visits. This registry has provided high-quality data for future studies and will become an infrastructure for domestic and international collaborations.
Systemic lupus erythematosus and coronavirus disease 2019
Authors: Cava Antonio La 
Published: April 2021

Abstract
Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) is a contagious infectious disease caused by severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2). It manifests with variable clinical pictures ranging from asymptomatic to mild or uncomplicated illness to severe disease with possible multi-organ involvement, with respiratory and vascular systems being the most often affected. Since COVID-19 can affect patients with autoimmune rheumatic conditions, the concomitant presence of two diseases may have clinical characteristics whose knowledge may help facilitate clinical management. This review discusses the data available in the literature on COVID-19 in systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) patients.

Authors: Liu Aihua , Chen Zhe , Cheng Yongjing , Wang Xutao , Gao Ming , Huang Cibo 
Published: April 2021

Abstract

Objective
To enable physicians to understand the efficacy and safety of Tocilizumab (TCZ) in patients with severe coronavirus disease-2019 (COVID-19)

Methods
We respectively reviewed the clinical records, laboratory results, and chest computed tomography (CT) scans of 5 geriatric patients with severe COVID-19 treated with TCZ during their inpatient hospitalization period in Wuhan from February 08, 2020 to April 04, 2020. The survival status of the patients in the third and the sixth month after being discharged was followed up and recorded.

Results
On the fourteenth day after TCZ administration, periphery oxygen saturation rate (SpO2) returned to normal in 4 patients. The serum Interleukin-6 (IL-6) levels altered in five patients after TCZ infusion. One patient rapidly progressed to acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) and died of multiple organ failures eventually. The other 4 patients were cured and discharged from the hospital. During the inpatient hospitalization period, two patients suffered from virus shedding periods (VSPs) delay, and one patient had mild upper respiratory tract infection. One patient died of esophageal carcinoma one month after being discharged. The other 3 patients survived despite mild cough and insomnia. Serum-specific IgG type antibody titer was decreased in one patient. Six months after being discharged, the other three patients were in good condition.

Conclusion
TCZ may be an efficient therapeutic option for patients with COVID-19. However, the possibility of VSPs delay, secondary infection, serum protective antibody tilter attenuation, and long-term survival status should be addressed before TCZ therapy initiation.
“L’enfer, c’est les autres”: Photographic Representations of Character Development in Sartre’s Huis clos
Authors: Habashi Daniel , Hogan Shannon , Wolf Victoria 
Published: April 2021

Huis clos (No Exit), a play by Jean-Paul Sartre, is an unconventional representation of Hell, where three individuals torture one another in a Second Empire style lounge complete with a butler, a servant bell, and extravagant furniture. Estelle, Inès, and Garcin are eternally inseparable, and their non-violent manner of torture - namely, the manipulation of each other’s earthly insecurities - inspires the famous quote “L’enfer, c’est les autres” (“Hell is other people”). In our presentation, we will explore the possibility of transposing this famous play in a different artistic medium.
As an alternative medium to theatre, photography uses instantaneous frames to capture the complex details of character relations and theme without deviating too far from the play’s original form. Our work consists of a series of three photographs that use symbolic objects and body language to illustrate each character’s unique version of Hell. When taken both individually and as a whole, these photos represent a cycle of mutual torture and mutual dependence, and highlight the ways in which the characters’ past lives influence the form that torture takes in the afterlife. Parts of this presentation will be in English, and components requiring textual analysis will be done in French.
6. The Art of Absence: The Practice of Contemporary Curating
Authors: Handley-Derry Elizabeth , Kim Eunice 
Published: April 2021

In fall 2016, ARTH 422: Contemporary Curating had the unique opportunity to curate an exhibition for the spring 2017 season at the Agnes Etherington Art Centre. Under the guidance of Jennifer Kennedy, our curatorial team of 12 students worked closely together to develop a theme, set out objectives, select art works from the Agnes’ Contemporary Collection, and organize an exhibition catalogue.
The curator has gained a significant role with the emergence of Contemporary Art, which predominantly de-emphasizes the tangible object and relocates it to the idea. Whereas traditional concerns included style, mode, medium and ideology, contemporary artists express interests encompassing place making, world picturing, and connectivity. As a mediator between artists and audiences, the curator treats art as a verb: transforming a constellation of silent objects into a moving, illuminated, dynamic experience.
Our process began with researching and developing a theoretical and applied understanding of a curator's role and contemporary curatorial practice. Our collaborative process involved investigations of ‘absence’ along with the affective, existential, and relational intensities that live beyond our perceptive abilities. As a team of 12, we collectively worked through the challenges of reaching an open audience, limitations of physical space, time constraints, and adapting to unforeseen complications. As curators, we worked to create an affective experience/dialogue that goes beyond the initial encounter of art and offer a space to bridge the gap between art and life. Our aim in the exhibition was to reassure the viewer that confusion is positive and welcome and encourages critical dialogue and thinking.
8. Genome Guided Discovery of Chlorinated Natural Products in Streptomyces curacoi
Authors: Hrab Stephanie 
Published: April 2021

Natural products derived from plants, animals, and microbes have long been a rich source of molecules that exhibit biological activity. Bacteria of the genus Streptomyces are one of the most important sources of natural products today, producing more than half of all known antibiotics. One class of natural products that have potent antibiotic activity are those that contain halogens. There are many examples of halogenated natural products such as the antibiotics vancomycin and chloramphenicol. Incorporation of halogen atoms into drugs is a common strategy to enhance their bioactivity and specificity.
Rapid advances in DNA sequencing have led to genome mining approaches to discover new natural products. This technique can also be used to find bioactive halogenated products by analyzing the genomes for sequences encoding the ‘halogenases’ that are responsible for addition of the halogen.
One class of compounds that have biological activity against Streptococcus pneumoniae, Staphylococcus aureus, and Staphylococcus epidermidis are the desotamides. These compounds inhibit bacterial RNA polymerases. A cluster of genes that is likely responsible for the production this compound has been discovered in the Streptomyces curacoi genome; however this cluster is unique in that it also contains a halogenase gene. This study aims to discover a halogenated desotamide derivative from Streptomyces curacoi based on the genomic information. It is hypothesized that this derivative will have enhanced or new biological activity.
10. What Are the Critical Elements in Safe School Legislation to Prevent Bullying?
Authors: Kalchos Linnea 
Published: April 2021

Research shows that effective school policies mean less bullying and a better school climate, but there is a limited understanding of the connection between evidence-based policy and the prevalence of bullying and victimization. The goal of this research is to determine if regional differences in policy and legislation are associated with the prevalence of bullying in Canada and the United States. Does policy predict differences at the regional level, as well as between countries? What are the critical elements within these policies and legislations that predict bullying and victimization?
This study used archival data from the Canadian sample of the 2013/2014 Health Behavior in School-Aged Children (HBSC) survey. 30,153 students from across Canada participated. Each legislation was coded based on a checklist reflecting best practices in the literature. High scores reflected a large quantity of evidence based policy items. Mplus 7.3 was used for multilevel modeling, with MLR estimator to account for the non-normality of the bullying variables.
This study found there were national and regional differences in the evidence-base of bullying policies. There was a negative association between the comprehensiveness of a region’s anti-bullying policy and the prevalence of bullying behaviour in that region. There is a negative relationship between the number of evidence based policy items in Canadian legislation and the prevalence of bullying and victimization. Further research is needed to explore the relationship between evidence-based policies and the prevalence of bullying and victimization over time.

Global standardization and local adaptation of marketing ---A critical review of the literature
Authors: Song Jiayi 
Published: April 2021

This paper discusses and critically reviews the causes and consequences of global standardization and local adaptation of marketing strategies. The scope of the literature review is in the fields of international marketing, international trade, and corporate strategic management. It also aims to emphasize finding gaps after reading the literature. Even though the studies scope is extensive, this paper limits the reach: firstly, it introduces the standardization and local adaptation, discusses the advantages and disadvantages of both by researchers. At the same time, untangle the relationship between international marketing strategy and marketing mix. Secondly, it is divided into macro and micro to collate and analyze the leading factors affecting international strategy. So that realise the cross-market fit of global marketing tactic. Finally, focus on the KPI. The indicators of financial return were selected as the review from the factors representing the intuitive development level of the company. The goal was to concentrate on the mutual feedback and adjustment between the standardization/adaptation and performance of multinational companies. Among them, the diversities between developed and emerging markets are interspersed in each link. As this difference is a trend that scholars have begun to notice in recent years. Although many existed bibliographies are revolved around particular multinational companies or regions to assessment, this paper will focus on the impact of practical research article review and evaluation. It would not involve in specific corporate and country.

Published: April 2021

Background and objectives. The problem of competitiveness of institutions of higher education (IHE) is one of the key tasks, the solution of which will help increase the socio-economic development of the country. In the context of Ukraine's European integration interests, competition between Ukrainian and foreign IHEs is intensifying, which encourages the former to find ways of their own competitiveness (which is largely determined by the competitiveness of its graduates and the ability to generate knowledge-based innovations) as a result of using appropriate factors that are directly dependent on increasing competitiveness in the context of its management.Methods. Methods of profiles and ratings using separate methods of comparative, statistical and economic-mathematical analysis (factor analysis), with the formation of an appropriate system of indicators.Findings. The results of assessing the competitiveness of KNUTD indicate a decrease in the level of competitiveness of IHEs. It has been estimated that during 2017–2019 it was at a low level (0.542, 0.541 and 0.466, respectively), which according to the proposed scale for determining the level of competitiveness of IHEs (developed using the golden ratio method) is in the range of 0.383–0.618. Conclusion. Based on studying and assessing the competitiveness of IHEs to improve it in the context of its management and ensure the strategic development of IHEs within the implementation of relevant strategic alternatives and proposed generalized areas, as well as certain factors of competitiveness, it has been determined appropriate to forecast the indicators underlying the calculation of the KNUTD competitiveness, using an improved methodological approach to the main proposed measures.

The impact of service delivery technology on bank performance: Evidence in Vietnam
Authors: Vo Vo Hoang Diem Trinh, Tran Thi Thuy Ngan 
Published: April 2021

This study investigates the impact of service delivery technology on bank performance by using the sample data of 21 Vietnamese commercial banks over the period 2007-2019. The study uses return on equity (ROE) and net interest margin (NIM) as a dependent variable representing bank performance. A set of variables including mobile banking (MB), internet banking (IB), and implementation degree of ATMs functions as a proxy for service delivery technology.
The research results indicate that there is a significant positive impact of mobile banking (MB) and online banking (IB) on bank performance. In addition, this study has not found an impact on ATM implementation for bank performance.
