Exploring COVID-19 lockdowns as unexpected paternity leave: One shock, diverse gender ideologies
Authors: Sponton Alix 
Published: August 2021

Objective: This paper analyses how men who became fathers to a newborn during a 2020 lockdown in France reacted to spending longer time at home than intended.
Background: Previous research found that fathers taking longer leave are more involved at home, but men who plan these working arrangements are more oriented towards gender equality. Due to the COVID-19 outbreak, fathers with diverse gender ideologies were forced to stay home with their baby.
Method: 42 longitudinal interviews were conducted with 23 fathers, before and after the birth of their child. 10 of these fathers unexpectedly stopped their paid work for the first two months post-partum because of distancing measures. This group is compared with 10 others who took at most their 14 days of paid leave before returning to paid work and 3 others who deliberately planned to take a month off. All mothers were on maternity leave.
Results: Lockdowns isolated couples from the help of extended family and fathers had to assume a caregiving position. However, staying home involved different things for different fathers. For some, it meant sharing unpaid work equally. For others, it was more about bonding with the baby, whereas intensive childcare was considered the mother’s role.
Conclusion: Drawing on an integrative approach, the findings suggest that changes at the institutional level, such as lockdowns, impact fathering trajectories differently depending on gender ideologies at the individual level.
A canção popular, a pesquisa folclórica e o legado preservacionista
Authors: Lemos Junior Urbano , Gosciola Vicente 
Published: August 2021

O artigo resgata uma importante referência na pesquisa de campo e na gravação de canções de origem popular. Na década de 1920, a carioca Elsie Houston sistematizou seu trabalho em busca da brasilidade musical a partir da herança indígena, africana e ibérica. Neste sentido, o objetivo do estudo é resgatar o espólio preservacionista deixado pela musicista e destacar a relevância de Elsie para os estudos sobre música, identidade e cultura. Além da coleta de canções populares que estariam sob risco de desaparecimento, Elsie registrou em uma publicação científica 42 canções de diferentes regiões do Brasil, mostrando o timbre, a pronúncia e as intenções das músicas. Deste modo, a metodologia do artigo analisa as convergências do legado da pesquisadora a partir das teorias sobre documentário. Para tanto, o estudo recorre aos escritos de Penafria (2004), Nicholls (2012) e Ramos (2001 e 2013) para uma aproximação e ampliação dos conceitos sobre o registro criativo do encontro com o outro.
Legislation Impediments in Reorganising Government Bodies in Indonesia
Authors: Wijaya Mas Pungky Hendra , Ali Mohammad Zulfikar 
Published: August 2021

<p>This study identifies legislation constraints to reorganize government bodies in Indonesia. Most administrations continuously receive pressure to reform and transform. Reorganization is a logical step when the problems are structural. Large government has resulted in potential duplications, in part due to entrenchment in statutes. Reorganizing a ministry or an agency poses impediments due to the process required for statutory amendments. This article takes a qualitative approach to examine the legal impediment in conducting the reorganization of government bodies. This research is a socio-legal study that combines legal research in the area of administrative law, political science, and public policy and management.</p><p> </p><p><strong>Keywords</strong><strong>:</strong> Bureaucracy; Legislation; Politics; Administrative; Reorganisation.</p>
Centrifugal Gas Compressors Energy Optimization Initiatives: A Way to Save Valuable Energy at Upstream Operation
Authors: Alwani Mohammed Abdo , Soliman Mohammed Ahmad 
Published: August 2021

Abstract
The objective of this paper is to showcase successful and innovative means and techniques to improve and enhance centrifugal gas compressors (CGCs) performance, using methods to minimize power consumption, with no need for capital investment.
These techniques will assure, if effectively followed, considerable reduction of the consumed energy. CGCs are the most widely used equipment in the oil and gas industry to boost gas, mainly hydrocarbons, to satisfy process treatments and pipeline requirements. In addition, CGCs are one of the major energy consumers, and therefore present an exceptional opportunity for saving energy. Focusing on lowering inlet gas temperatures, considering suction throttling of discharge pressure instead of the traditional discharge throttling, will help to reduce energy consumption.
In this paper, a detailed analysis of factors aggravate or lead to undesired CGCs performance will be discussed along with solutions to minimize adverse impact. For example, operating the gas compressors at relatively high inlet temperature will result in higher energy consumption. After performing need analysis, results prove that we would save 3-7% of running compressors consumed energy. In addition, during compressor design phase, it was found that most motor driven compressor system uses discharge throttling, which incurs high-energy consumption. Instead, it is recommended to consider suction throttling to control discharge pressure, as will be explained. This paper will focus on a detailed case study in one of the running CGCs in an upstream gas-oil separation plant (GOSP-A).
This paper proves the effectiveness of the proposed techniques in reinstating the CGCs in GOSP-A, to ensure better performance and save energy. This innovative technique is based on extensive process data analysis — evaluating operating, design data, related performance curves, and reviewing international standards. It will be illustrated that this type of analysis and techniques is a valuable tool for saving energy, in most cases, at oil and gas industries

Abstract
Potential climate-related impacts on future crop yield are a major societal concern first surveyed in a harmonized multi-model effort in 2014. We report here on new 21st-century projections using ensembles of latest-generation crop and climate models. Results suggest markedly more pessimistic yield responses for maize, soybean, and rice compared to the original ensemble. Mean end-of-century maize productivity is shifted from +5 to -6% (SSP126) and +1 to -24% (SSP585) — explained by warmer climate projections and improved crop model sensitivities. In contrast, wheat shows stronger gains (+9 shifted to +18%, SSP585), linked to higher CO2 concentrations and expanded high-latitude gains. The ‘emergence’ of climate impacts — when the change signal emerges from the noise — consistently occurs earlier in the new projections for several main producing regions before 2040. While future yield estimates remain uncertain, these results suggest that major breadbasket regions will face distinct anthropogenic climatic risks sooner than previously anticipated.

Abstract
As a second-generation broad-spectrum tyrosine kinase inhibitor, Dasatinib has the antitumor effect of inhibiting tyrosine kinases such as BCR-ABL and SRC. It is mainly used to treat chronic and acute patients with chronic myelogenous leukemia. However, Dasatinib has many side effects, including gastrointestinal bleeding, respiratory infections, and renal failure, and effective means to improve the side effects of drugs are lacking. The occurrence of gastrointestinal bleeding is mainly due to the destruction of the vascular endothelial barrier by Dasatinib. For the first time, we administered a large dose of oral administration and monitored the intestinal bleeding with a laser Doppler flowmeter. We found that Ruscogenin (RUS) can improve dasatin Side effects caused by tinib. Through Doppler flowmeter detection, it was found that after Dasatinib was administered, blood flow in mice decreased, and intestinal Evans blue leakage increased. Western blot results showed that connexin (ZO-1, VE-cadherin, Occludin) is destroyed, the activation of ROCK increases, and the phosphorylation of MLC increases. Ruscogenin can reverse the above phenomenon and improve the side effects of gastrointestinal bleeding caused by Dasatinib. In vitro, giving Ruscogenin in advance can protect the endothelial barrier damage caused by Dasatinib, reduce the remodeling of F-actin, and restore the expression of connexin (ZO-1, VE-cadherin), inhibit the activation of ROCK, and reduce Phosphorylation of MLC. This study provides a new direction for improving the side effects caused by clinical drugs.
Impact of the El Niño type and PDO on the winter sub-seasonal North American zonal temperature dipole via the variability of positive PNA patterns
Authors: Ge Yao , Luo Dehai 
Published: August 2021

Abstract
In recent years, the winter (from December to February, DJF) North American surface air temperature (SAT) anomaly in midlatitudes shows a “warm west/cold east” (WWCE) dipole pattern. To some extent, the winter WWCE dipole can be considered as being a result of the winter mean of sub-seasonal WWCE events. In this paper, the Pacific SST condition linked to the sub-seasonal WWCE SAT dipole is investigated. It is found that while the sub-seasonal WWCE dipole is related to the positive Pacific North American (PNA+) pattern, the impact of the PNA+ on the WWCE dipole depends on the El Niño SST type and the phase of Pacific decadal Oscillation (PDO). For a central-Pacific (CP) type El Niño, the positive (negative) height anomaly center of PNA+ is located in the west (east) part of North America to result in an intensified WWCE dipole, though the positive PDO favors the WWCE dipole. In contrast, the WWCE dipole is suppressed under an Eastern-Pacific (EP) type El Niño because the PNA+ anticyclonic anomaly dominates the whole North America.Moreover, the physical cause of why the type of El Niño influences the PNA+ is further examined. It is found that the type of El Niño can significantly influence the location of PNA+ through changing North Pacific midlatitude westerly winds (NPWWs). For the CP-type El Niño, the eastward migration of PNA+ is suppressed to favor its anticyclonic (cyclonic) anomaly appearing in the west (east) region of North American owing to reduced NPWWs. But for the EP-type El Niño, NPWWs are intensified to cause the appearance of the PNA+ anticyclonic anomaly over the whole North America due to enhanced Hadley cell and Ferrell cell.
Scheduling computations with provably low synchronization overheads
Authors: Rito Guilherme , Paulino Hervé 
Published: August 2021

Abstract
We present a Work Stealing scheduling algorithm that provably avoids most synchronization overheads by keeping processors’ deques entirely private by default and only exposing work when requested by thieves. This is the first paper that obtains bounds on the synchronization overheads that are (essentially) independent of the total amount of work, thus corresponding to a great improvement, in both algorithm design and theory, over state-of-the-art Work Stealing algorithms. Consider any computation with work T1 and critical-path length T1 executed by P processors using our scheduler. Our analysis shows that the expected execution time is O T1 P + T1 , and the expected synchronization overheads incurred during the execution are at most O ((CCAS + CMF ence) P T1), where CCAS and CMF ence respectively denote the maximum cost of executing a Compare-And-Swap instruction and a Memory Fence instruction.

Abstract
In the Karakoram Mountain range, glacial lakes are essential elements of the cryosphere. As a function of climate change and increasing temperature, these glacial lakes threaten downstream existence and the ecosystem by short time glacial lake outburst floods (GLOF). Therefore, the Glacial Lake mapping technique is a vital task to observe GLOF hazards. In this study, microwave Sentinel-1 Ground Range Detected (GRD) data used. It has the dual-polarization capability (HH + HV or VV + VH) and the ability to penetrate even through clouds or any weather condition. The study objective is to explore the application of GRD data and evaluate the efficiency and accuracy of machine learning algorithms for the extraction of water bodies. The study method is based on two main procedures, GRD backscattering analysis and supervised Machine Learning classifiers. The most commonly used machine learning classifiers are Random Forest (RF), K-nearest neighbor (KNN), and Maximum Likelihood. Although both procedures show better results for glacial lakes mapping in the study area, the mean backscatter parameter has the best accuracy rate than others in the total backscattering analysis. Likewise, in the classification approach, accuracy assessment was executed by comparing the results obtained for each classifier with the reference data. For all experiments, KNN performed the best at given training samples (Accuracy = 93%, Error rate = 0.06%) for both classes, compared to RF (Accuracy = 92%, Error rate = 0.07) and Maximum Likelihood (Accuracy = 90%, Error rate = 0.09%). The high classification accuracy obtained to extract glacial lakes using our approach will be useful to determine the short time flood outburst and take future precautionary measurements.
Craniofacial And Dentoalveolar Morphology In Individuals With Prader-Willi Syndrome: A Case-Control Study.
Authors: Vasconcelos Gisela , Stenehjem Jo , Axelsson Stefan , Saeves Ronnaug 
Published: August 2021

Abstract
Background: Prader-Willi syndrome (PWS) is a complex multisystem genetic disorder with distinct genetic and clinical features. Among other clinical symptoms, PWS is characterized by severe infantile hypotonia with feeding problems, childhood onset hyperphagia, obesity, scoliosis, short stature combined with growth hormone deficiency and developmental delay. PWS is associated with facial dysmorphology, orofacial dysfunction, oral abnormalities, low salivary flow and subsequent severe tooth wear. Little is known about the craniofacial growth direction or dental and skeletal relationships in individuals with PWS in different ages. The purpose of this study was to assess the craniofacial and dentoalveolar characteristics and to investigate the craniofacial growth direction separately in children, young adults and adults with PWS, using a cephalometric analysis of lateral cephalograms. Results: Lateral cephalograms of 42 individuals with a confirmed genetic diagnosis of PWS were analysed and divided into three groups according to their age: Children (< 12 years), young adults (12 – 20 years) and adults (> 20 years). Cephalometric variables were compared between PWS patients and healthy age- and sex-matched controls.Significant deviations and distinct craniofacial patterns were found in children, young adults and adults with PWS compared with the control group. Children showed retrognatic mandible with a skeletal class II relationship, posterior growth direction and longer anterior face height. The young adults had smaller cranial base angle, a skeletal class II pattern and a higher anterior lower face than the control group. Adults with PWS had a prognathic mandible, skeletal class III relationship with anterior growth direction, more retroclined lower incisors and proclined upper incisors than the controls. Similar results were found when comparing the three groups with PWS; the adults had a prognathic mandible, skeletal class III pattern and anterior growth direction. Children had a retropositioned mandibula, skeletal class II relationship and posterior growth direction. Conclusion: This study may contribute to a better understanding of the craniofacial growth pattern in children, young adults and adults with PWS and may have a clinical importance when planning dental treatment, such as prosthodontics and/or orthodontics.

Published: August 2021

Abstract
Background: Runt‑related transcription factors (RUNX) are involved in numerous fundamental biological processes and play crucial parts in tumorigenesis and metastasis both directly and indirectly. However, the pan-cancer evidence of RUNX gene family is no available. Methods: In this study, we analyzed the potential association between RUNX gene family expression and patient’s prognosis, immune cell infiltration, drug response, and genetic mutation data across different types of tumors using based on The Cancer Genome Atlas, Gene Expression Omnibus, and Oncomine database. Results: The results showed that the expression of the RUNX family varied among different cancer types, revealing its heterogeneity in cancers, and that expression of RUNX2 was lower than that of RUNX1 and RUNX3 across all cancer types. RUNX family gene expression was related to prognosis in several cancers. Furthermore, our study revealed a clear association between RUNX family expression and ESTIMATE score, RNA stemness, and DNA stemness scores. Compared with RUNX1 and RUNX2, RUNX3 showed relatively low levels of genetic alterations. RUNX family genes had clear associations with immune infiltrate subtypes, and their expression was positively related to immune checkpoint genes and drug sensitivity in most cases. Conclusions: These findings will help to elucidate the potential oncogenic roles of RUNX family genes in different types of cancer and it can function as a prognostic marker in various malignant tumors.

Published: August 2021

Abstract
Introduction: Malignant small bowel obstruction (MSBO) occurs in up to 50% of women with advanced epithelial ovarian cancer (EOC) causing symptom burden and distress to women and their families, particularly in the terminal stages of the disease. Corticosteroids are used to promote symptom resolution in malignant small bowel obstruction (MSBO) related to EOC, with little published data on their efficacy, optimal dosing and duration of treatment.Objective: To evaluate the efficacy of dexamethasone in achieving symptom control in women with advanced EOC presenting with MSBO, assess dexamethasone dosing and efficacy over subsequent presentations, and examine differences in dexamethasone responsiveness between platinum resistant and platinum sensitive patient. Methods: This is a retrospective cohort study of women presenting with MSBO due to advanced EOC over a 12-year period from January 2005 to December 2016 in a single tertiary hospital.Results: Ninety-one women with MSBO were administered dexamethasone over 154 admissions with 89% of women initially achieving partial or complete symptom control. Dexamethasone responsiveness did not change with recurrent admissions and platinum responsive patients were more likely to respond to dexamethasone than platinum resistant patients (OR 3.6 [95%CI 1.1 to 12.2, p = 0.04]). 15.6% of patients required additional measures to control symptoms of MSBO and 44.8% had adequate symptoms resolution to allow them to remain on or commence further treatment for EOC. Conclusion: Dexamethasone therapy is a useful adjunctive therapy in the management of symptoms associated with MSBO in women with EOC.
