Rationale:

In the microenvironment of atherosclerotic lesions, vascular smooth muscle cells (vSMCs) switch to a dedifferentiated state but the underlying molecular mechanisms driving this switch are not fully understood. Long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) are dysregulated during vascular pathology, but relatively little is known about their involvement in controlling vSMCs function. Cardiac mesoderm enhancer-associated noncoding RNA (CARMN) is a lncRNA located immediately upstream of the
microRNAs-143
and
-145 (miR-143
and
miR-145
), both involved in vSMCs function.

Objective:
We investigated the role of the lncRNA CARMN, independent from miR-143 and miR-145, as a potential regulator of vSMC phenotypes in vitro and the consequences of its loss during the development of atherosclerosis in vivo. We hypothesized that loss of CARMN is a primary event controlling the functional switch towards proatherogenic vSMC phenotype and accelerates the development of the plaques in vivo.

Method and Results:

Expression of CARMN lncRNA was silenced using locked nucleic acids antisense oligonucleotides (GapmeRs) in human coronary arterial smooth muscle cells, revealing that GapmeR-mediated loss of CARMN negatively affects miR-143 and miR-145 microRNA expression. RNA sequencing of CARMN-depleted human coronary arterial smooth muscle cells revealed large transcriptomic changes, associated with vSMC proliferation, migration, inflammation, lipid metabolism, and dedifferentiation. The use of miR-143 and miR-145 mimics revealed that CARMN regulates human coronary arterial smooth muscle cell proliferation in a microRNA-independent manner. In humans and mice, CARMN and associated microRNAs were downregulated in advanced versus early atherosclerotic lesions. Using a CRISPR (clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats)-Cas9 (CRISPR-associated protein 9) knockout approach, we explored the implications of
CARMN
depletion during atherosclerosis in vivo. Consistent with in vitro results, the knockout of
CARMN
impaired the expression of miR-143 and miR-145 under homeostatic conditions. Importantly, when atherosclerosis was induced in these mice, CARMN knockout increased the volume, size, proinflammatory Lgals3 (galectin 3)-expressing cells content, and altered plaque composition, yielding an advanced phenotype.

Conclusions:
We identified the early loss of CARMN lncRNA as critical event which primes vSMCs towards a proatherogenic phenotype in vitro and accelerates the development of atherosclerosis in vivo.

Summary
Specimens of a thin longidorid species collected in Peñalba (Huesca), north-west Spain, were previously described as Paralongidorus iberis. However, we conclude, through scanning electron microscopy and molecular studies on a population from about 15 km from the type locality and on paratype specimens, that this species was originally placed in the wrong genus. Both populations have pore-like amphidial apertures, not slit-like as in Paralongidorus, and the species is therefore transferred to Longidorus. Longidorus iberis n. comb. is regarded as a valid species and is clearly different from closely related species such as L. tabernensis, L. iliturgiensis, L. alvegus and L. indalus in morphometrics and molecular markers. Molecular data are reported for the first time, including the D2-D3 expansion segments of 28S rRNA, ITS1 rRNA, partial 18S rRNA and partial mitochondrial coxI regions. These molecular markers were used for inferring the phylogenetic relationships with other species within Longidorus and Paralongidorus, all clearly separating L. iberis n. comb. from other related taxa and placing the species in the Longidorus clade, rather than with Paralongidorus.
Material Culture and Healing Practice
Authors: Winterbottom Anna Elizabeth 
Published: February 2021

Abstract
The practice of medicine and healing is always accompanied by a range of paraphernalia, from pillboxes to instruments to clothing. Yet such things have rarely attracted the attention of historians of medicine. Here, I draw on perspectives from art history and religious studies to ask how these objects relate, in practical and symbolic terms, to practices of healing. In other words, what is the connection between medical culture and material culture? I focus on craft objects relating to medicine and healing in Lanka during the Kandyan period (ca. 1595–1815) in museum collections in Canada and Sri Lanka. I ask what the objects can tell us, first, about early modern Lankan medicine and healing and, second, about late nineteenth- and twentieth-century efforts to reconstruct tradition. Finally, I explore what studying these objects might add to current debates about early modern globalization in the context of both material culture and medicine.
Ichiro the Public Diplomat: Professional Sport as Cultural Intermediary in Configuring US-Japan Relations
Authors: Moscato Derek 
Published: February 2021

Summary
This study examines the confluence of sport and soft power within public diplomacy. It analyses professional baseball player Ichiro Suzuki’s role in the United States as a sporting ambassador from Japan — potentially catalysing goodwill, cultural interest, perceptions of national personality traits and even views of policy issues such as international trade and country relations. In doing so, this research draws from non-state public diplomacy, which considers the transnational impacts of non-traditional communication vehicles such as cultural and sporting exchanges. It measures US public sentiment towards Japan through quantitative analysis of survey responses collected by Pew Research Center in conjunction with the Sasakawa Peace Foundation. The success of Japan’s cultural and sporting exports highlights their potential and realised role in binding national ties. Furthermore, Tokyo’s hosting of the Summer Olympiad emphasises the role of sport not only as a vehicle for competition and entertainment but also its utility in global engagement.

Family Names Derived from Given Names and Surnames: A Study of Selected Anthroponyms in the Villages of Antonivka and Boryskovychi in the Early to Mid-Twentieth CenturyThis article analyses the origins of family names and the duration of their functioning in rural anthroponymics on the basis of the anthroponymy of the south of the Volyn region in the early to mid-twentieth century. The study examines the semantic and word-formation structure of anthroponyms in the area, identifies lexico-semantic groups represented in the roots of family names, and considers different structural variants of the given names and surnames from which family names were derived, including their productivity and the most frequent cases. The semantics of roots and the word-formation structure of family names in the south of the Volyn region reflect general tendencies of the Ukrainian anthroponymic system and tendencies of the regional anthroponomy, which stem from dialectal features, influences of other languages, and historical and cultural peculiarities of the region. Nazwy rodowe pochodzące od imion i nazwisk pierwszych użytkowników (na podstawie wybranych antroponimów wsi Antonówka i Boryskowicze z początku i połowy XX wieku)W artykule przeanalizowano problem pochodzenia nazw rodowych oraz czasu ich funkcjonowania w antroponimikonie wiejskim (na podstawie antroponimów na południu obwodu wołyńskiego z początku i połowy XX wieku). Autorka analizuje strukturę semantyczną i słowotwórczą antroponimów w tym regionie, przedstawia grupy leksykalno-semantyczne reprezentowane w podstawach nazw rodowych, omawia różne pod względem strukturalnym warianty imion i nazwisk motywujące nazwy rodowe. W artykule określono produktywność imion motywujących nazwy rodowe i zidentyfikowano najbardziej aktywne imiona. Semantyka podstaw i struktura słowotwórcza nazw rodowych z południa obwodu wołyńskiego odzwierciedlają ogólne tendencje ukraińskiego systemu antroponimicznego, a także cechy regionalne antroponimii wynikające z właściwości gwarowych, wpływów innych języków oraz cech historycznych, kulturowych i obyczajowych regionu.

“That I may rejoice in the joy of Thy nation”: On Pleonastic Constructions in Church Slavonic Redactions of the Book of PsalmsThis article focuses on pleonasms extracted from the OCS Psalterium Sinaiticum and investigates their preservation in later representatives of successive CS Psalter redactions. In order to examine the use of the constructions under scrutiny, the (O)CS Psalters have been compared with one another and with the Greek and the Hebrew patterns of translation. The study provides a detailed description of lexical choices with respect to pleonasms present in selected contexts of the Psalter. It also considers analogical structures discussed in the literature on the subject, stressing a specifically emphatic character of (O)CS Psalter pleonasms, similar to that of their Greek and Hebrew equivalents. As observed, the use of pleonasms in the compared (O)CS Psalters is distinctly consistent and generally based on the Greek/Hebrew sources. Cases that could testify to these Biblical stylistic structures having already become independent on the Slavic ground are noted as exceptions. „Obym się rozradował w rozradowaniu ludów Twoich”. Rzecz o konstrukcjach pleonastycznych w cerkiewnosłowiańskich redakcjach Księgi PsalmówArtykuł koncentruje się na pleonazmach wyekscerpowanych ze staro-cerkiewno-słowiańskiego Psałterza synajskiego. Ma na celu zbadanie ich zachowawczości w młodszych reprezentantach kolejnych cerkiewnosłowiańskich redakcji psałterzowych. Teksty (s)cs. psałterzy porównano między sobą oraz z greckimi i hebrajskimi wzorcami przekładowymi pod kątem użycia rozpatrywanych konstrukcji pleonastycznych. Szerzej opisano leksykalny wybór w odniesieniu do pleonazmów obecnych w wybranych kontekstach Psałterza. Uwagę poświęcono także analogicznym strukturom omówionym w literaturze przedmiotu. Podkreślono specyficzny emfatyczny charakter (s)cs. pleonazmów psałterzowych, podobny do ich grecko-hebrajskich ekwiwalentów. Wskazano na wyraźną zgodność co do użyć konstrukcji pleonastycznych w porównywanych (s)cs. psałterzach, z reguły uzasadnioną greckim/hebrajskim wzorcem (wzorcami). Przypadki mogące świadczyć o usamodzielnieniu się na gruncie słowiańskim analizowanych biblijnych struktur stylistycznych odnotowuje się jako wyjątki.

Asterisked Entries in the Proto‑Slavic Dictionary (Słownik prasłowiański, 1974–2001), edited by Franciszek Sławski Volumes 5–8 of the Proto-Slavic Dictionary (Słownik prasłowiański, 1974–2001), edited by Franciszek Sławski, include 116 asterisked entries; 109 of them concern the Etymological Dictionary of Slavic Languages (Ėtimologicheskiĭ slovarʹ slavianskikh iazykov, 1974–2018), edited by O. N. Trubachev, and the remaining 7 – other authors and Slavic dictionary sources. The entries in question almost exclusively contain strongly critical assessment of reconstruction and etymologisation of particular items of Slavic lexis proposed in those publications. Although the asterisked entries (authored mainly by Sławski) are certainly of high scholarly standard, some of the proposals they criticise should be considered viable. Possibly, those hypotheses can be positively verified in the future, when we have a more extensive knowledge on historical and modern Slavic dialectal lexis and appellative vocabulary preserved in onomastic material. Hasła z gwiazdkami w Słowniku prasłowiańskim (1974–2001) pod redakcją Franciszka Sławskiego W tomach 5–8 Słownika prasłowiańskiego (1974–2001) pod redakcją Franciszka Sławskiego znajduje się 116 artykułów hasłowych z gwiazdkami – 109 dotyczy Etymologicznego słownika języków słowiańskich (1974–2018) pod redakcją O. N. Trubaczowa, 7 zaś innych autorów i kompendiów slawistycznych. Hasła z gwiazdkami zawierają prawie wyłącznie jednoznacznie krytyczne oceny rekonstrukcji prasłowiańskich i innych przejawów etymologizowania leksyki słowiańskiej. Hasła z gwiazdkami (zredagowane głównie przez F. Sławskiego) zasługują na wysoką ocenę. Część skrytykowanych etymologii należy jednak potraktować jako wartościowe hipotezy. Być może w przyszłości zostaną one pozytywnie zweryfikowane, gdy lepiej poznamy dawną oraz istniejącą współcześnie słowiańską leksykę gwarową i słownictwo pospolite zawarte w słowiańskich materiałach onomastycznych.

Review: Aleksandra Niewiara, Imagologia – pamięć zbiorowa – umysł i kultura, Wydawnictwo Uniwersytetu Śląskiego, Katowice 2019, 320 pp.This paper is a review of Aleksandra Niewiara’s monograph Imagologia – pamięć zbiorowa – umysł i kultura [Imagology – Collective Memory – Mind and Culture]. The volume investigates the nature of collective conceptions of nations in terms of ethnolinguistic imagology. It consists of a theoretical part (“Concepts of Nations in the Light of Cognitive Studies on Culture”), an analytical part (examining verbal and visual data) and a comparative part, which discusses ways of constructing ideas about nations as cultural conceptualisations: networks of concepts present in the minds of members of a community (and therefore also representatives of a culture). Concepts of nations have thus far been considered a static and fragmentary category. The reviewed monograph shows this category as an element of the network of culture, which reflects the basic image schemas and – like any part of culture – changes over time. Rec.: Aleksandra Niewiara, Imagologia – pamięć zbiorowa – umysł i kultura, Wydawnictwo Uniwersytetu Śląskiego, Katowice 2019, 320 ss.Niniejszy artykuł stanowi recenzję monografii poświęconej polskim wyobrażeniom o narodach w ujęciu imagologii etnolingwistycznej.

Kategoria wyobrażeń o narodach, uważana dotąd za specyficzną ze względu na statyczny i wycinkowy sposób konceptualizacji, przedstawiona została jako jeden z elementów sieci kultury, odwzorowujący podstawowe schematy wyobrażeniowe i podlegający – jak cała kultura – zmianom na osi czasu.
Real-Time Driving Distraction Recognition Through a Wrist-Mounted Accelerometer

Published: February 2021

Objective We propose a method for recognizing driver distraction in real time using a wrist-worn inertial measurement unit (IMU). Background Distracted driving results in thousands of fatal vehicle accidents every year. Recognizing distraction using body-worn sensors may help mitigate driver distraction and consequently improve road safety. Methods Twenty participants performed common behaviors associated with distracted driving while operating a driving simulator. Acceleration data collected from an IMU secured to each driver’s right wrist were used to detect potential manual distractions based on 2-s long streaming data. Three deep neural network-based classifiers were compared for their ability to recognize the type of distractive behavior using F1-scores, a measure of accuracy considering both recall and precision. Results The results indicated that a convolutional long short-term memory (ConvLSTM) deep neural network outperformed a convolutional neural network (CNN) and recursive neural network with long short-term memory (LSTM) for recognizing distracted driving behaviors. The within-participant F1-scores for the ConvLSTM, CNN, and LSTM were 0.87, 0.82, and 0.82, respectively. The between-participant F1-scores for the ConvLSTM, CNN, and LSTM were 0.87, 0.76, and 0.85, respectively. Conclusion The results of this pilot study indicate that the proposed driving distraction mitigation system that uses a wrist-worn IMU and ConvLSTM deep neural network classifier may have potential for improving transportation safety.

Background: It is well known that some lifestyle-related behaviors are related to depressive symptoms, but the unique and cumulative effects of lifestyle-related behaviors on depressive symptoms among Chinese adolescents are still controversial. Aims: The aims of this study were to examine the unique and cumulative effects of lifestyle-related behaviors on depressive symptoms among Chinese adolescents, and explored the potential influences of gender difference on these associations. Methods: We conducted a cross-sectional study among 3967 Chinese adolescents aged 11 to 19 from Jilin, China during September and October of 2018. Students reported their lifestyle factors including sleep duration, time spent on computer, time spent on television, time spent on homework, eating breakfast, smoking, drinking, physical activity, and outdoor activity. Depressive symptoms were measured using the Center for Epidemiologic Studies Depression Scale (CES-D). Results: The prevalence of depressive symptoms was 28.2% among Chinese adolescents. Multivariate logistic regression analysis revealed that sleep duration <8 hour/day, time spent on homework ⩾3 hour/day, skipping breakfast, alcohol use, physical activity <3 days/week, and outdoor activity <2 hour/day were positively associated with depressive symptoms in both girls and boys. Time spent on computer ⩾2 hour/day was an independent risk predictor for depressive symptoms in males, while smoking only showed higher risk of depressive symptoms in females. There was an additive relationship between the lifestyle risk index scores and the risk of depressive symptoms for both genders, the relationship being strongest among females. Conclusion: The important role of lifestyle factors should be taking into consideration when create intervention programs to prevent and reduce depressive symptoms among adolescents. In addition, preventive interventions may need to focus on gender-informed approaches when targeting multiple lifestyle factors.
The use of magnetostrictive intelligent sensors for fault tolerant control of induction motors with energy harvesting principle

Published: February 2021

Asynchronous machines are omnipresent in automated production systems, due to their robustness and ease of use. These electric motors, however, also concede faults (e.g. short-circuit between turns) leading to unplanned stoppages. Defects with their effects are reflected in the magnitudes of the motors, mainly in flux, current, speed and torque. Our research work in this article presents a contribution of a new approach to the fault tolerant control. This simple and efficient method based solely on the measurement of the electrical energy applied by the magnetostrictive material requires expert knowledge in the field of intelligent materials. In this work, our method is focused on an additive term in the backstepping control that is based on the error of the current during the appearance of the default and the energy recovered by magnetostrictive sensors and the adaptive gain of the Kalman filter. This method improves the performance of backstepping control to maintain the operation despite the appearance of defects. The target is to ensure a minimum performance level of the drive system that is malfunctioning. The obtained results have provided useful information on multiple electrical malfunctions and show the overall performance of this complementary methodology for the fault tolerant control.
