Resumo - O pinhão manso é uma planta perene com propriedades medicinais e com grande potencial para a produção de biodiesel. Devido a escassez de literatura e pesquisas com o pinhão manso, e seu grande potencial para a produção de biodiesel, objetivou-se com esse trabalho estudar o crescimento do pinhão manso em função da adubação orgânica (casca de pinhão manso moída e natural) e adubação mineral (doses crescentes de nitrogênio e fixas de fósforo), nas condições edafoclimáticas do município de Catolé do Rocha, no semiárido paraibano. Foi utilizado o delineamento inteiramente casualisado usando dosagens crescentes de ureia (0; 30; 60; 90 kg ha-1), e duas formas de casca de pinhão manso (natural ou moída) adotando-se o esquema fatorial 2 x 4, resultando em 8 tratamentos com 4 repetições totalizando 32 parcelas experimentais. Foi utilizada ainda uma dose fixa de superfosfato simples (30 kg ha-1). As analises de crescimento se deram aos 180 dias, após o transplante das mudas e a de produção aos 240 dias analisando altura da planta, diâmetro do caule, numero de folhas, área foliar, numero de frutos por planta, peso dos frutos por planta, numero de sementes por planta e peso de sementes por planta. A dosagem de 90 kg ha-1 de ureia se sobressaiu em relação às demais para todas as variáveis analisadas.

Practice, Process, and Performance: Shaping a Devotional Habitus in the Margins of Bernard of Clairvaux's Sermons on the Song of Songs
Authors: Smits Lieke Andrea 
Published: January 2021

Abstract
Illustrations and annotation in the margins of manuscripts can offer unique insights into the medieval reading experience. This article explores how Douai, Bibliothèque municipale, MS 373, a manuscript containing Bernard of Clairvaux's Sermones super Cantica canticorum, produced and read in late medieval England, facilitates and reflects a performative mode of reading. While a movement from reading to bodily performance is suggested, this article argues that the opposite movement is also encouraged, as part of a nonlinear mode of reading in which images function both as a starting point and as a point of return for devotional practice.
Christian Lovesickness: Richard of St. Victor's The Four Degrees of Violent Love
Authors: Stevens Travis 
Published: January 2021

Abstract
This article argues that Richard of St. Victor's The Four Degrees of Violent Love makes use of the literary and medical concept of lovesickness in order to create a Christian spirituality that conceives of love in new ways. This article traces Richard's translation of lovesickness from the literary and medical to the theological, in order to reveal the effects on those wounded by the love of God. By uniting violent love with lovesickness, Richard opens lovesickness to Christian meaning and interpretation, placing it at the center of an individual's journey to God, and transforms lovesickness by associating it with the wound and with violence more broadly.
“And most semely for to be”: Julian of Norwich and The Cloud of Unknowing on Spiritual Similitude
Authors: Harkaway-Krieger Kerilyn 
Published: January 2021

Abstract
Both Julian of Norwich and the author of The Cloud of Unknowing use the Middle English term semely to navigate moments of tension surrounding the ability of material signs to convey divine truth. The authors treat a variety of signs, some linguistic, some not, all of which require interpretation to be properly understood. The wide variety of such material signs is captured in the authors' use of the Middle English terms goostly and bodily to identify spiritual and material realities, but also figurative and literal meanings. Seemly signs are suitable, appropriate for the task of communicating spiritual truths. Ultimately, for Julian and the Cloud author, semely identifies a particular relationship between embodied, finite reality, and divine infinitude—while there is no ultimate analogy between these two realities such that material signs are necessary or sufficient to reveal spiritual truths, some material particularities are the “best possible” or “most fitting” way to communicate.

Assessment of Synergistic Impact of Ambient Surface Ozone and Fine Particulate Matter on Experimentally Grown Wheat Crop
Authors: Sharma Rohit , Sachdeva Kamna , Sharma Anu Rani 
Published: January 2021

Abstract
The present study aims to understand how increasing surface ozone and fine particulate matter concentrations affect wheat crop productivity under ambient conditions. A pot experiment was conducted spanning over a period of 117 days starting from December 2016 to April 2017 at one of the receptor locations in Delhi characterized with high levels of surface ozone and fine particulate matter. The study site recorded highest concentrations of PM1, PM2.5, PM10 and surface ozone of 159±77 μg m−3, 172±79 μg m−3, 280±108 μg m−3 and 335±18 μg m−3, respectively during the crop cycle indicating the high levels of air pollutants at the site. The crops were treated with ascorbic acid under different experimental setups. A large number of growth, biochemical and yield parameters were evaluated at the vegetative, reproductive and grain formation stage of the crop cycle. Results indicated that the chlorophyll content and harvest yield of crops grown under ambient conditions were ∼23% and ∼14% lower than those of crops grown under controlled environment. Furthermore, a ∼13%, 5%, 15% and 10% decline in root length, plant height, number of tillers and number of leaves was observed in crops that were exposed to only surface ozone in comparison to crops exposed to only fine particulate matter under vegetative stage, respectively. Relative water content, chlorophyll content and air pollution tolerance index observed ∼56%, 23% and 61% decline with fully exposed setup in comparison control setup in the vegetative stage, while ∼57%, 23% and 44% decline was observed in the reproductive stage. Experiments also suggested that surface ozone had a more pronounced influence on overall productivity of wheat crops in comparison to fine particulate matter.
Blockchain Havens and the Need for Their Internationally-Coordinated Regulation
Authors: Marian Omri 
Published: January 2021

This Article describes the rise of a new form of regulatory havens. Jurisdictions that have traditionally been characterized as “tax havens” are gradually becoming hubs for blockchain-based ventures. These jurisdictions attract blockchain entrepreneurs by offering refuge from regulatory and tax burdens imposed by developed economies. These new “Blockchain Havens” create a regulatory “race to the bottom” that is traditionally associated with the world of international tax evasion and avoidance.
Over the past several years, developed economies have put to use—mostly through coordinated efforts—several regulatory frameworks aimed to address some of the negative effects of tax havens. These regulatory instruments are aimed against the haven jurisdictions themselves, or the private institutions operating in such jurisdictions.However, this Article argues that the unique nature of blockchain-based technology—most importantly, decentralization and temper resistance—makes such traditional anti-tax haven policies ineffective in the blockchain context.
This Article argues that coordinated international regulatory policies must be quickly developed to address certain important aspects of blockchain technology. Such coordination is necessary to prevent an uncontrolled regulatory race to the bottom, while at the same time preserving the benefits of blockchain-based applications.
Evaluation of Particulate Matter Pollution in Micro-Environments of Office Buildings—A Case Study of Delhi, India
Authors: Mendiratta Saurabh , Gulia Sunil , Goyal Prachi , Kumar Goyal Sanjeev 
Published: January 2021

High level of particulate matter in an office building is one of the prime concerns for occupant’s health and their work performance. The present study focuses on the evaluation of the distribution pattern of airborne particles in three office buildings in Delhi City. The study includes the Assessment of PM10, PM2.5 and PM1 in the different indoor environments, their particle size distribution, I/O ratio, a correlation between pollutants their sources and management practices. The features of buildings I, II, and III are old infrastructure, new modern infrastructure, and an old building with good maintenance. The results indicate that the average concentrations of PM10, PM2.5, and PM1 are found in the range of 55–150 μg m−3, 41–104 μg m−3 and 37–95 μg m−3, respectively in Building I, 33–136 μg m−3, 30–84 μg m−3 and 28–73 μg m−3, respectively in Building II and 216–330 μg m−3, 188–268 μg m−3 and 171–237 μg m−3, respectively in Building III. The maximum proportion of the total mass contributed by PM0.25–1.0 i.e., up to 75%, 86%, and 76% in the meeting room of Building I, II and III, respectively. The proportion of ultrafine particles was found higher in the office area where the movement was minimum and vice versa. The higher I/O indicates the contribution of the presence of indoor sources for ultra-fine and finer particles. Further, possible strategies for indoor air pollution control are also discussed.
Suffering in the Sociology of Zygmunt Bauman
Authors: Jacobsen Michael Hviid 
Published: January 2021

The topic of human suffering loomed large throughout the writings of Zygmunt Bauman. If anything, his work can be characterized as a ‘sociology of suffering’. From the early writings until his very last, suffering constituted a key concern in Bauman’s description of the transformation of society from a solid-modern to a liquid-modern outlook. In his work, there are certain shifts in who and what he regards as the embodiments or expressions of suffering, and there is thus a keen eye on the changing landscape of suffering, its causes and consequences, from past to present. But there is nevertheless always a continuous and vehement defence for those living at the outskirts or at the bottom of society. The article will also explore what Bauman suggest should be done about the presence of suffering, and the article will briefly discuss the viability of his ideas on a morality of proximity as a way to alleviate suffering.
Tumor Necrosis Factor-α -308G/A Genetic Polymorphism and the Susceptibility of Posttraumatic Sepsis
Authors: Wu Ying , Wu Chenfang , Zhang Siye , Wu Diling , Zhong Yanjun 
Published: January 2021

Summary of background data
The association between tumor necrosis factor α (TNFα) -308G/A polymorphism and susceptibility to posttraumatic sepsis has been studied extensively. But the results have not remained very clear.

Purpose
We carried out this meta-analysis to explore the influence of TNF on susceptibility to posttraumatic sepsis.

Methods
Relevant studies were identified from PubMed, Web of Science, Embase, and China National Knowledge Internet without language limitation, following the inclusion and exclusion criteria. Statistical analyses were implemented with the STATA 12.0 statistical software.

Results
Seven case-control studies were included in the meta-analyses on the association of TNFα -308 G/A genetic polymorphism and risk of posttraumatic sepsis. TNFα -308 G/A genetic polymorphism was significantly associated with susceptibility to posttraumatic sepsis in the dominant model [odds ratio (OR), 2.17; 95% confidence interval (95% CI), 1.19–3.95; P = 0.011] and allelic model (OR, 1.72; 95% CI, 1.23–2.39; P = 0.001), but not in the heterozygous model (OR, 1.38; 95% CI, 0.58–3.39; P = 0.489). There was no significant publication bias for these 3 models. However, marked heterogeneity existed in the dominant model (I2 = 68.9%, P = 0.004) and the heterozygous model (I2 = 68.9%, P = 0.022).

Conclusions
TNF -308 G/A genetic polymorphism may have an influence on susceptibility to posttraumatic sepsis. Further studies with large sample sizes and well-designed studies are needed to confirm these results.
Inhibition of galectin‐3 augments the antitumor efficacy of PD‐L1 blockade in non‐small‐cell lung cancer

Published: January 2021

Multiple clinical trials have shown that monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) against programmed death‐ligand 1 (PD‐1/PD‐L1) can benefit patients with lung cancer by increasing their progression‐free survival and overall survival. However, a significant proportion of patients do not respond to anti‐PD‐1/PD‐L1 mAbs. In the present study, we investigated whether galectin (Gal)‐3 inhibitors can enhance the antitumor effect of PD‐L1 blockade. Using the NSCLC‐derived cell line A549, we examined the expression of Gal‐3 in lung cancer cells under hypoxic conditions and investigated the regulatory effect of Gal‐3 on PD‐L1 expression, which is mediated by the STAT3 pathway. We also explored whether Gal‐3 inhibition can facilitate the cytotoxic effect of T cells induced by PD‐L1 blockade. The effects of combined use of a Gal‐3 inhibitor and PD‐L1 blockade on tumor growth and T‐cell function were also investigated, and we found that hypoxia increased the expression and secretion of Gal‐3 by lung cancer cells. Gal‐3 increased PD‐L1 expression via the upregulation of STAT3 phosphorylation, and administration of a Gal‐3 inhibitor enhanced the effect of PD‐L1 blockade on the cytotoxic activity of T cells against cancer cells in vitro. In a mouse xenograft model, the combination of a Gal‐3 inhibitor and PD‐L1 blockade synergistically suppressed tumor growth. Furthermore, the administration of a Gal‐3 inhibitor enhanced T‐cell infiltration and granzyme B release in tumors. Collectively, our results show that Gal‐3 increases PD‐L1 expression in lung cancer cells and that the administration of a Gal‐3 inhibitor as an adjuvant enhanced the antitumor activity of PD‐L1 blockade.

Published: January 2021

AbstractBackground and ObjectivePSEN1‐H163Y carriers, at the presymptomatic stage, have reduced 18FDG‐PET binding in the cerebrum of the brain (Scholl et al., Neurobiol Aging 32:1388–1399, 2011). This could imply dysfunctional energy metabolism in the brain. In this study, plasma of presymptomatic PSEN1 mutation carriers was analyzed to understand associated metabolic changes.MethodsWe analyzed plasma from noncarriers (NC, n = 8) and presymptomatic PSEN1‐H163Y mutation carriers (MC, n = 6) via untargeted metabolomics using gas and liquid chromatography coupled with mass spectrometry, which identified 1199 metabolites. All the metabolites were compared between MC and NC using univariate analysis, as well as correlated with the ratio of Aβ1–42/Aβ1–40, using Spearman’s correlation. Altered metabolites were subjected to Ingenuity Pathway Analysis (IPA).ResultsBased on principal component analysis the plasma metabolite profiles were divided into dataset A and dataset B. In dataset A, when comparing between presymptomatic MC and NC, the levels of 79 different metabolites were altered. Out of 79, only 14 were annotated metabolites. In dataset B, 37 metabolites were significantly altered between presymptomatic MC and NC and nine metabolites were annotated. In both datasets, annotated metabolites represent amino acids, fatty acyls, bile acids, hexoses, purine nucleosides, carboxylic acids, and glycerophosphatidylcholine species. 1‐docosapentaenoyl‐GPC was positively correlated, uric acid and glucose were negatively correlated with the ratio of plasma Aβ1–42/Aβ1–40 (P < 0.05).InterpretationThis study finds dysregulated metabolite classes, which are changed before the disease symptom onset. Also, it provides an opportunity to compare with sporadic Alzheimer’s Disease. Observed findings in this study need to be validated in a larger and independent Familial Alzheimer’s Disease (FAD) cohort.
Tooth chipping prevalence and patterns in extant primates
Authors: Towle Ian , Loch Carolina 
Published: January 2021

AbstractObjectivesA tooth chip occurs when a hard object forcefully contacts the surface of the tooth, typically removing enamel from the occlusal edge. In this study, chipping patterns in extant primates were compared, and hard‐object‐feeding assessed alongside other factors (e.g., grit mastication and dental properties), to elucidate dietary and behavioral inferences in archeological and paleontological samples.Materials and methodsThirteen species of extant primates were studied, including eight species within the Cercopithecidae, two within the Ceboidea, and three within the Hominoidea. Four additional species were also incorporated from the literature for some of the analyses. The severity (Grade 1–3), position (buccal, lingual, mesial, and distal) and number of tooth fractures were recorded for each specimen.ResultsSpecies considered hard‐object‐feeding specialists presented higher rates of chipping, with sakis, mandrills, sooty mangabeys and Raffles' banded langurs having high chipping rates (28.3%, 36.7%, 48.4%, and 34.7% of teeth, respectively). Species that seasonally eat harder foods had intermediate chipping frequencies (e.g., brown woolly monkeys: 18.5%), and those that less commonly consume hard food items had the lowest chipping frequencies (e.g., Kloss gibbon: 7.3%; chimpanzees: 4.4%).DiscussionThe results suggest hard food mastication influences differences in chipping prevalence among the species studied. Although Homo fossil samples show high rates of chipping comparable to hard‐object‐feeding extant primates, they display a different pattern of chipping, supporting the hypothesis that these fractures are mostly non‐food related (e.g., grit mastication in Homo naledi; non‐masticatory tooth use in Neanderthals).
Elevated diversity in loci linked to facial morphology is consistent with the hypothesis that individual facial recognition is important across hominoids

Published: January 2021

AbstractObjectivesThe ability to use visual signals to identify individuals is an important feature of primate social groups, including humans. Sheehan and Nachman (2014) showed that loci linked to facial morphology had elevated levels of diversity and interpreted this as evidence that the human face is under frequency‐dependent selection to enhance individual recognition (Nature Communications 5). In our study, we tested whether this pattern is found in non‐human ape species, to help understand whether individual recognition might also play a role in species other than humans.Materials and methodsWe examined levels of genetic diversity in an available population genomic dataset of humans, chimpanzees, bonobos, gorillas, and orangutans for three sets of loci, (1) loci linked to facial morphology, (2) loci linked to height, and (3) neutrally evolving regions. We tested whether loci linked to facial morphology were more variable than loci linked to height or neutrally evolving loci in each of these species.ResultsWe found significantly elevated diversity in loci linked to facial morphology in chimpanzees, gorillas, and Sumatran and Bornean orangutans.DiscussionOur findings closely parallel those of Sheehan and Nachman and are consistent with the idea that selection for facial diversity and individual recognition has not only shaped the evolution of the human face, but it has similarly shaped the evolution of most of our closest primate relatives. We also discuss alternative hypotheses for this pattern.
Physical properties and dielectric behavior of the poly(urethane‐urea) based on o‐dianisidine and renewable cross‐linkers
Authors: Oprea Stefan , Potolinca Violeta Otilia , Oprea Veronica 
Published: January 2021

AbstractThe novelty of the poly(urethane‐urea) series consists in inclusion of o‐dianisidine units in the main chain and cross‐linking with renewable biomaterials, unused compounds so far in the synthesis of the poly(urethane‐urea) (Tween 20, Span 20, Phloroglucinol). The effects of these components on the structure, surface, thermo‐mechanical properties and dielectric behavior of the obtained poly(urethane‐urea) were investigated by Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy, thermo‐gravimetric analysis, static contact angles, broadband dielectric spectroscopy, and mechanical testing. The FTIR spectra showed that the urethane hydrogen bonds decreased with the increase of o‐dianisidine content. Such that, at the increase of the o‐dianisidine content, decreased the thermo‐mechanical properties, and increased strongly the water contact angle from 83 to 108°. By dielectric relaxation spectroscopy was studied the molecular dynamics within the polymeric matrices with identical soft segments but different structure of the hard domains. These poly(urethane‐urea) materials exhibit two secondary relaxations (β and γ) and a relaxation process α, corresponding to the segmental movements in the soft phase, which occurs around the temperature of −50°C independent of the measurement frequency. o‐Dianisidine prevents the formation of all the urethane hydrogen bonds and so increases the chains mobility and dipoles polarization of polymer matrix, thus increasing the dielectric constants.
