Abstract
Severe dengue infection is associated with life-threatening complications, including severe bleeding. The bleeding tendency is typically associated with the shock phase of infection, for which blood replacement may be needed. However, repetitive blood transfusion can lead to volume overload. Administration of recombinant activated factor VII (rFVIIa) might be used to counteract bleeding without inducing volume overload. We describe the case of a patient with severe dengue infection who presented with intractable bleeding; he was initially treated with massive blood transfusions, which resulted in volume overload. He was then treated with rFVIIa to reverse the bleeding. During the second week of his hospitalization, his hematocrit dropped precipitously, and autoimmune hemolytic anemia was diagnosed. Supportive treatment was provided until recovery. Autoimmune hemolytic anemia is a rare complication in adult patients with dengue. Supportive care was effective for this atypical complication.
Non-stationary Navier–Stokes equations in 2D power cusp domain
Authors: Pileckas Konstantin , Raciene Alicija 
Published: March 2021

Abstract
The initial boundary value problem for the non-stationary Navier-Stokes equations is studied in 2D bounded domain with a power cusp singular point O on the boundary. The case of the boundary value with a nonzero flow rate is considered. In this case there is a source/sink in O and the solution necessary has infinite energy integral. In the first part of the paper the formal asymptotic expansion of the solution near the singular point is constructed. The justification of the asymptotic expansion and the existence of a solution are proved in the second part of the paper.
Delaying the peak of the COVID-19 epidemic with travel restrictions
Authors: Græsbøll Kaare , Christiansen Lasse Engbo , Thygesen Uffe Høgsbro , Kirkeby Carsten 
Published: March 2021

Abstract

Objectives: Travel restrictions is an often-used tool for governments to prevent the spread of COVID-19.

Methods: We here used a simple simulation model to investigate the potential effects of travel restrictions within a country.

Results: We found that travel restrictions can delay the peak of the epidemic considerably, but do not affect the spread within the country. We also investigated the effect of implementing travel restrictions early or later in the epidemic, and found that fast implementation is crucial for delaying the epidemic.

Conclusions: Fast implementation of travel restrictions is crucial for delaying the peak of a subsequent outbreak of COVID-19 within a country.
Amerikas progressive Bewegungen angesichts von Pandemie und rassistischer Polizeigewalt
Authors: Mayer Margit 
Published: March 2021

ZusammenfassungDieser Beitrag untersucht, inwiefern die in der Trump-Ära und insbesondere im Wahl- und Pandemie-Jahr 2020 aktiven progressiven sozialen Bewegungen sich von früheren unterscheiden und neue Chancen bieten. Dabei wird zunächst aufgezeigt, wie sich in der enormen Breite und Vielfalt derTrump ResistanceKonvergenz-Tendenzen um Forderungen nach sozialer Gerechtigkeit sowie um antirassistische Mobilisierungen herausbilden. Der nächste Abschnitt fokussiert aufSocial Justice-Bewegungen und kontextualisiert sie in der von zunehmender Vermögensungleichheit geprägten Klassenstruktur der USA. Diese Bewegungen sowie die Ausbreitung der auch von nicht-Schwarzen getragenenBlack Lives Matter-Mobilisierungen nach der Ermordung von George Floyd im Mai 2020 werden im Kontext der spezifisch amerikanischen Entwicklung eines rassistisch geprägten Siedler-Kapitalismus und (entsprechend limitierter) Bewegungs-Traditionen interpretiert, wodurch ihre historischen Chancen in den Blick geraten. Die in der Trump-Ära ebenfalls erstarkten rechten Bewegungen artikulieren ihrerseits Widersprüche des amerikanischenracial capitalism, wie am Schluss an Hand des ‚Sturms auf’s Kapitol‘ gezeigt wird.
Das Equal Rights Amendment – ein Katalysator für die US-Frauenbewegung oder ein Relikt der Suffragetten?
Authors: Langowski Judith 
Published: March 2021

Zusammenfassung
Seit fast 100 Jahren kämpft die feministische Bewegung für ein Equal Rights Amendment zur US-Verfassung. Getragen von einem neuen, aus Ablehnung der Trump-Administration heraus entfachten Momentum, erreichte das ERA im Januar 2020 die letzte der 38 benötigten bundesstaatlichen Ratifizierungen – und steht damit, so scheint es, seinem Ziel zum Greifen nah. Gleichzeitig jedoch hinterlässt Trump einen noch konservativer ausgerichteten Obersten Gerichtshof, der die über Jahrzehnte erarbeiteten Erfolge der Bewegung zunichtemachen könnte.
Dieser Artikel liefert auf Basis journalistischer Interviews und Recherchen einen Überblick über die ERA-Bewegung, die mehrere Generationen an Frauen mobilisiert, empört und für ihre Rechte sensibilisiert hat; die zugleich Spalter und Katalysator für eine professionelle Frauenbewegung war. Neben den Kernforderungen der Bewegung und ihren aktuellen Akteurinnen beleuchtet dieser Artikel die zentralen Kritikpunkte, die das ERA noch immer von beiden Seiten des politischen Spektrums der USA anzieht, und gibt einen Ausblick zu seiner Zukunft.
Anti-Trumpismus: Amerikanische Städte als Zentren neuer Macht
Authors: Clüver Ashbrook Cathryn 
Published: March 2021

Zusammenfassung
Eine Machtverschiebung ist im Gange: Das hierarchisch gegliederte System der USA verschiebt sich angesichts einer neuen Problemdichte, deren Lösung zunehmend multidimensionale Antworten braucht. Diese Lösungen finden sich zunehmend auf der urbanen Ebene, während die föderale Macht in den Vereinigten Staaten strukturell schwächer wird und die nationale Regierung entweder zu spät oder zu wenig gezielt auf die Bedürfnisse der Bürger eingeht. Unter der Trump-Regierung führte das mitunter zu direkter Konfrontation: Das Weiße Haus gegen die Rathäuser des Landes. Längst verlangen Bürger nach einer direkteren Kontrolle über ihre Lebensräume, und direkte Einflussnahme auf Klimapolitik, Pandemien-Prävention und Integrationsmaßnahmen – hier vernetzten sich amerikanische Städte zunehmend unter sich und international – umgehen mitunter gar die nationale Regierungsebene, wie in der Corona-Krise vielerorts zu beobachten war. In einer neuen politischen Ära in den USA könnten Städte eine größere, gestalterische Rolle bei der Umsetzung einer progressiven Agenda spielen, die dazu beitragen kann, das Vertrauen in die amerikanische Demokratie und die transatlantischen Beziehungen wiederherzustellen – dem föderalistischen System der USA zum Trotz.
Evaluation of staygreen sunflower lines and their hybrids for yield under drought conditions
Authors: Hilli Harshavardan J. , Immadi Shobha U. 
Published: March 2021

Abstract
The experimental material for the present study comprised of 28 inbred lines (including two checks) which were developed by mutation and hybridization among the lines from AICRP trials MARS, UAS, Dharwad and on the basis of SPAD readings and stay green nature, they were considered as drought tolerant lines. These lines were used for the present experiment and were evaluated under both normal and moisture stress condition in rain out shelter to study their root characteristics. Among 28 inbreds evaluated, eight inbred lines i.e. DSR-13, DSR-19, DSR-23, DSR-24, DSR-37, DSR-66, DSR-107 and DSR-132 were identified as drought tolerant nature which exhibited least reduction in their yield under moisture stress condition. Simultaneously hybridization programme was also initiated during summer 2018 using these 28 inbred lines as testers (males) and 5 CMS lines as female lines in Line × Tester fashion. Among 140 hybrids developed, only 40 F1 hybrid combinations were further analyzed for heterosis and combining ability studies along with four checks RHA 6D-1, RHA 95C-1, KBSH-53 and Cauvery Champ. Most of the hybrid combinations showed significant negative heterosis for flowering indicating earliness, and also all the combinations showed a positive heterosis for plant height indicating tallness dominant over dwarf checks. The combinations CMS 7-1-1 A × DSR-37 (624 kg/ha), CMS-853A × DSR-19 (624 kg/ha), and CMS-853A × DSR-23 (619 kg/ha) exhibited significant maximum heterosis for seed yield (kg ha−1) over the checks KBSH-53 (496.50 kg/ha) and Cauvery Champ (486.50 kg/ha) showing maximum seed yield per hectare.
Self-Determination Through Autonomy or Independence? – On the Current and Future Position of New Caledonia
Authors: Suksi Markku 
Published: March 2021

Abstract
New Caledonia is a colonial territory of France. Since the adoption of the Nouméa Accord in 1998, a period of transition towards the exercise of self-determination has been going on. New Caledonia is currently a strong autonomy, well entrenched in the legal order of France from 1999 on. The legislative powers have been distributed between the Congress of New Caledonia and the Parliament of France on the basis of a double enumeration of legislative powers, an arrangement that has given New Caledonia control over many material fields of self-determination. At the same time as this autonomy has been well embedded in the constitutional fabric of France. The Nouméa Accord was constitutionalized in the provisions of the Constitution of France and also in an Institutional Act. This normative framework created a multi-layered electorate that has presented several challenges to the autonomy arrangement and the procedure of self-determination, but the European Court of Human Rights and the UN Human Rights Committee have resolved the issues regarding the right to vote in manners that take into account the local circumstances and the fact that the aim of the legislation is to facilitate the self-determination of the colonized people, the indigenous Kanak people. The self-determination process consists potentially of a series of referendums, the first of which was held in 2018 and the second one in 2020. In both referendums, those entitled to vote returned a No-vote to the question of ‘Do you want New Caledonia to attain full sovereignty and become independent?’ A third referendum is to be expected before October 2022, and if that one also results in a no to independence, a further process of negotiations starts, with the potential of a fourth referendum that will decide the mode of self-determination New Caledonia will opt for, independence or autonomy.
Genres in new economies of language
Authors: Gershon Ilana , Prentice Michael M. 
Published: March 2021

AbstractThis article suggests that one of the understudied and substantive ways in which actors produce and transform social hierarchies and classifications is by aligning and mis-aligning genres. Alignments within and across genres have furnished methods for construing and evaluating qualities of people – as examples, the genre repertoires of job applications or promotion dossiers. A fine attunement to new and emergent semiotic alignments via genres can also reveal how people are engaging with social and technological transformations. To study this, we advocate turning to four focal points: shifting genre hierarchies, stabilizing genres, cross-genre identities, and empty genres.
Hegemonies and inequalities in academia
Authors: Rojo Luisa Martín 
Published: March 2021

AbstractThis article reflects on the different inequalities that cut across academic spaces and the role that language plays in them, and uses this reflection to move towards proposing transformative strategies to overcome the current status quo. First, it explores the impact of the unequal distribution of economic and symbolic resources and the lack of recognition or misrecognition of many academics, both of which result in unbalanced participation in the field. These processes are illustrated through examples of research trajectories shared by women academics from generations who have experienced profound social transformations, even if incomplete. Second, in coherence with the goal of transformation, it explores what can be done in the here and now to change the academic field. Given the reticular functioning of power and resistance, I propose two paths forward: (1) taking action within the institutions we participate in, and (2) engaging in broader collective initiatives to combat oppressive hierarchies. Only by becoming collectively willing and capable of imagining beyond our current possibilities will we be able to overcome the contradictions we experience between the inertia that leads to reproduction and the impulse to transform the situation we live in. From this position we will then contribute to an inclusive epistemology that allows the building of more balanced, just, and reflexive communities and workspaces for all researchers and academics.
Desires for “committed” research
Authors: Nossik Sandra 
Published: March 2021

Abstract
This article proposes to question two aspects that may be faced by research in the social sciences of language that wants to be politically engaged. The first concerns the choice of “sensitive” corpora, which can be ethically problematic when research draws only disciplinary conclusions, despite their socially important nature. The second question is that of the dissemination of research outside the academic sphere: in sometimes innovative forms that can themselves be reclaimed and supervised by the university institution, they lose their primary emancipatory ambitions. To conclude, this article proposes to materialize our political commitments through a reinvestment in teaching and a possible renunciation of academically valorized research products.
Special Effects and Spectacle: Integration of CGI in Contemporary Chinese Film
Authors: Stuckey Andrew 
Published: March 2021

AbstractFilm production in China, like that in Hollywood, increasingly attempts to achieve blockbuster status, through reliance on large budgets which enable the cultivation of star systems and world-class production values. More and more we see a reliance on computer-generated special effects to drive audience appeal and, thus, ticket sales. This article compares two recent films from Chinese auteurs, Zhang Yimou’sThe Great Walland Jia Zhangke’sMountains May Depart, to examine the degree to which integration of computer-generated effects is achieved and how that translates into film art.
Realism and Fantasy in Jia Zhangke’sThe World
Authors: Deppman Hsiu-Chuang 
Published: March 2021

AbstractOne of the most prominent sixth-generation filmmakers, Jia Zhangke tells compelling stories about China’s floating population. He documents the quotidian activities of marginal people with long shots and long takes, showing their love, despair, and regrets. Scholars often consider Jia a neorealist or postsocialist realist, but close analyses of his works reveal his penchant for adding fantastical images to true-to-life stories. In his first officially released film,The World(2004), for example, Jia pairs long takes with animation and medium shots to capture the “surreal, unsettling effects” of a rapidly changing society. This generic mixture, I argue, allows the director to expose the psychologies of isolated migrant workers inhabiting multiple realities in a complex world. Jia’s willingness to investigate new ways of envisioning thoughts and emotions illustrates the corrosive effect of greed in postsocialist society and helps expand film’s formalistic commitments to the ethics of representing the real.
Manual treatment for kidney mobility and symptoms in women with nonspecific low back pain and urinary infections
Authors: Lo Basso Francesca , Pilzer Alessandra , Ferrero Giulio , Fiz Francesco , Fabbro Emanuele , Oliva Daniele , Cazzarolli Clizia , Turrina Andrea 
Published: March 2021

Abstract

Context
Recent studies have suggested a connection between low back pain (LBP) and urinary tract infections (UTI). These disturbances could be triggered via visceral-somatic pathways, and there is evidence that kidney mobility is reduced in patients suffering from nonspecific LBP. Manual treatment of the perinephric fascia could improve both kidney mobility and LBP related symptoms.

Objectives
To assess whether manual treatment relieves UTI and reduces pain in patients with nonspecific LBP through improvement in kidney mobility.

Methods
Records from all patients treated at a single physical therapy center in 2019 were retrospectively reviewed. Patients were included if they were 18 years of age or older, had nonspecific LBP, and experienced at least one UTI episode in the 3 months before presentation. Patients were excluded if they had undergone manipulative treatment in the 6 months before presentation, if they had one of several medical conditions, if they had a history of chronic pain medication use, and more. Patient records were divided into two groups for analysis: those who were treated with manipulative techniques of the fascia with thrust movement (Group A) vs those who were treated without thrust movement (Group B). Kidney Mobility Scores (KMS) were analyzed using high resolution ultrasound. Symptoms as reported at patients’ 1 month follow up visits were also used to assess outcomes; these included UTI relapse, lumbar spine mobility assessed with a modified Schober test, and lumbar spine pain.

Results
Of 126 available records, 20 patients were included in this retrospective study (10 in Group A and 10 in Group B), all of whom who completed treatment and attended their 1 month follow up visit. Treatments took place in a single session for all patients and all underwent ultrasound of the right kidney before and after treatment. The mean (± standard deviation) KMS (1.9 ± 1.1), mobility when bending (22.7 ± 1.2), and LBP scores (1.2 ± 2.6) of the patients in Group A improved significantly in comparison with the patients in Group B (mean KMS, 1.1 ± 0.8; mobility when bending, 21.9 ± 1.1; and LBP, 3.9 ± 2.7) KMS, p<0.001; mobility when bending, p=0.003; and LBP, p=0.007). At the 1 month follow up visit, no significant statistical changes were observed in UTI recurrence (secondary outcome) in Group A (−16.5 ± 4.3) compared with Group B (−20.4 ± 7) (p=0.152).

Conclusions
Manual treatments for nonspecific LBP associated with UTI resulted in improved mobility and symptoms for patients in this retrospective study, including a significant increase in kidney mobility.
On Serpents and Doves: the systematic relationship between prudence and morality in Kant’s political philosophy
Authors: Klein Joel Thiago 
Published: March 2021

Abstract
This paper argues that the political adage “Be ye prudent as serpents and guileless as doves” involves three different types of relation between prudence and morality, namely: unification (Vereinigung), subordination (Unterordnung), and association (Beigesellung). I maintain that these relations are set up according to the same principle that determines the relationship between mechanical and teleological causality in the third Critique. Thus, I argue that morality and prudence are much more systematically related within the system of critical philosophy than is normally assumed in the literature and that this is made possible by way of an intimate relationship between prudence and teleological judgment.
A taxonomic revision of fat dormice, genusGlis(Rodentia)

Published: March 2021

AbstractWe address in this study the taxonomic status of the two major phylogenetic lineages of fat dormice, genusGlis. These lineages show unique mutations at 43 positions of the cytochromebalignment and are classified as two distinct species, the European fat dormouseGlis glis(Linnaeus, C. [1766].Systema naturae per regna tria naturae, secundum classes, ordines, genera, species, cum characteribus, differentiis synonymis, locis, Vol. 1. Laurentii Salvii, Holmiae [Stockholm]) and the Iranian fat dormouseGlis persicus(Erxleben, I.C.P. [1777]. Systema regni animalis per classes, ordines, genera, species, varietates cum synonymia et historia animalium. Classis I. Mammalia. Impensis Weygandianis, Lipsia [Leipzig]). The European dormouse is widespread in Europe, Asia Minor and the Caucasus, while the Iranian dormouse occupies the southern Caspian coast in Iran. Ranges are presumably delimited in Azerbaijan by rivers Kura and Aras. The two species differ categorically in size of the glans penis, size and shape of the baculum and in width of the posterior extension of the premaxilla. The Iranian fat dormouse has on average a more blackish distal half of the tail, a higher count for abdominal nipples, and a longer maxillary tooth-row. Intraspecific structuring inG. glisindicates a taxonomic complexity which is not yet understood and requires a comprehensive systematic revision. To define the nominal taxon objectively we designate voucher PMS 27369 (Slovenian Museum of Natural History) as the neotype forG. glis,therefore restricting the type locality for the species to Mt. Krim in Slovenia.
Metastatic renal Ewing’s sarcoma in adult woman: Case report and review of the literature

Published: March 2021

Abstract
Primary renal extra-skeletal Ewing sarcoma is a rare neoplasm, often metastatic at diagnosis, and with a poor outcome. A multimodal approach is often the treatment of choice in this aggressive neoplasm. We present a case of primary renal extra-skeletal sarcoma in a 45-year-old woman who underwent tumor resection without clear margins. After no response to the first cycle of chemotherapy, we documented an early onset of local recurrence. The patient refused any other treatment and died four months after surgery.
Partnership in Times of COVID-19: Government and Civil Society in Austria
Authors: Meyer Michael , Millner Reinhard , Pennerstorfer Astrid , Vandor Peter 
Published: March 2021

Abstract
How did the relation between Civil Society Organizations (CSOs) and government develop during the first months of the COVID-19 pandemic, once governments had taken restrictive measures to lock down economic and public life? Austria is used as an example of a corporatist welfare state whereby collaboration between government and CSOs occurs particularly in the fields of social services, health-care, and youth. Our analysis focuses on the social service sector and differentiates between several social policy fields. We hereby analyze data from qualitative interviews with CEOs from 30 CSOs, four group discussions with another 30 representatives of CSOs, public agencies and authorities, and from a standardized questionnaire (n = 99 CSOs). We also utilize our own experiences as participant observers in meetings between CSOs and government. Results indicate that CSOs suffered financially partly due to a decrease in income, though mostly due to an increase in cost. In social services in particular, they also faced hardships caused by the need to reorganize operations and human resources, and by the increased demands of customers. Federal government took responsibility for supporting CSOs financially, though such support was hampered by unclear competencies in Austria’s multilayered federal system.
