The enemy of my enemy is my friend

Η 8η Μαΐου 1945 σηματοδότησε το τέλος του Β' Παγκοσμίου Πολέμου στην Ευρώπη και θεωρητικά την αρχή της παγκόσμιας ειρήνης και ανοικοδόμησης. Η Γερμανία είχε χάσει τον πόλεμο, έναν πόλεμο που προκάλεσε εκατομμύρια θύματα και μια κατεστραμμένη Ευρώπη. Παρότι η Γερμανία ηττήθηκε και καταστράφηκε, η οικονομική της δυναμική δεν καταστράφηκε αλλά υπέβοσκε "εγκλωβισμένη κάτω από τα ερείπια". Συγκεκριμένα, η γη της εξακολουθούσε να είναι πολύτιμη, η γεωγραφική της θέση μεταξύ Ανατολής και Δύσης ήταν ακόμη στρατηγική και η βιομηχανία της μπορούσε να ανοικοδομηθεί από το καταρτισμένο και εξειδικευμένο εργατικό της δυναμικό και όλα αυτά ενώ ξεκινούσε ένας νέος πόλεμος, ο Ψυχρός Πόλεμος. Η διατριβή αυτή εξετάζει τον τρόπο με τον οποίο η ταχεία και ακραία μετατόπιση της αμερικανικής εξωτερικής πολιτικής προς τη (Δυτική) Γερμανία από το 1945 έως το 1950 αιτιολογήθηκε στον αμερικανικό λαό και εν συνεχεία έγινε αποδεκτή από αυτόν. Συγκεκριμένα, η συγγραφέας της μελέτης εξέτασε εάν ο αμερικανικός Τύπος ήταν το μέσο που διαμόρφωσε την αμερικανική κοινή γνώμη προκειμένου να συγκεντρώσει υποστήριξη για την μεταβαλλόμενη αμερικανική εξωτερική πολιτική ή εάν και η κοινή γνώμη επηρέασε τη θέση του Τύπου απέναντι στην αμερικανική εξωτερική πολιτική. Ένα σχετικό ερώτημα είναι πώς η κοινή γνώμη και ο Τύπος επηρέασαν την εξωτερική πολιτική και πώς οι υπεύθυνοι διαμόρφωσης της εξωτερικής πολιτικής προσπάθησαν να διαμορφώσουν την κοινή γνώμη μέσω του Τύπου. Για τη μελέτη αυτής της τριγωνικής σχέσης (εξωτερική πολιτική, Τύπος, κοινή γνώμη) η συγγραφέας επέλεξε ορισμένα έντυπα μέσα ενημέρωσης ευρείας κυκλοφορίας (Washington Post, The New York Times, Los Angeles Times, TIME, LIFE) και ορισμένα έντυπα μέσα ενημέρωσης ειδικού ενδιαφέροντος και συγκεκριμένου πολιτικού προσανατολισμού (Commentary, Human Events, Nation) καθώς και τα αποτελέσματα των δημοσκοπήσεων του οργανισμού Gallup για την μέτρηση της αμερικανικής κοινής γνώμης. Η μελέτη έδειξε ότι σε πολιτικό επίπεδο, η απειλή του Ψυχρού Πολέμου και ο κίνδυνος της κομμουνιστικής επέκτασης επισκίασαν γρήγορα το παρελθόν της Γερμανίας και μετέτρεψαν τη χώρα από εχθρό σε σύμμαχο. Τα έντυπα μέσα ενημέρωσης ευρείας κυκλοφορίας, ήδη από τον περίφημο «Λόγο της Ελπίδας» του Μπερνς τον Σεπτέμβριο του 1946 ή και νωρίτερα ακόμα, πρόθυμα αποδύθηκαν στην προπαγάνδιση του ψυχροπολεμικού αφηγήματος, στο οποίο η Δυτική Γερμανία κατείχε ρόλο στρατηγικού συμμάχου για τις ΗΠΑ. Η διακυβέρνηση Τρούμαν επιδοκίμασε τα μέσα αυτά ενώ αποδοκίμασε σε ένα βαθμό, τα μικρότερα έντυπα που διατήρησαν μια πιο ισορροπημένη και όσο το δυνατόν αμερόληπτη στάση. Με τη στάση της πλειοψηφίας του Τύπου ευθυγραμμίστηκε από πολύ νωρίς και η πλειοψηφία του αμερικανικού λαού που συμμετείχε στις δημοσκοπήσεις του οργανισμού Gallup. Τέλος, η συγγραφέας χρησιμοποίησε το «μοντέλο προπαγάνδας», που αναπτύχθηκε από τους καταξιωμένους κοινωνικούς επιστήμονες Edward S. Herman και Noam Chomsky, για να καταδείξει τους τρόπους με τους οποίους τα μέσα ενημέρωσης παρουσιάζουν τις ειδήσεις ώστε να «κατασκευαστεί» δημόσια συναίνεση.

Background: Approximately 25% of the risk of Schistosoma mansoni is associated with host genetic variation. We will test 24 candidate genes, mainly in the Th2 and Th17 pathways, for association with S. mansoni infection intensity in four African countries, using family based and case-control approaches. Methods: Children aged 5-15 years will be recruited in S. mansoni endemic areas of Ivory Coast, Cameroon, Uganda and the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC). We will use family based (study 1) and case-control (study 2) designs. Study 1 will take place in Ivory Coast, Cameroon, Uganda and the DRC. We aim to recruit 100 high worm burden families from each country except Uganda, where a previous study recruited at least 40 families. For phenotyping, cases will be defined as the 20% of children in each community with heaviest worm burdens as measured by the circulating cathodic antigen (CCA) assay. Study 2 will take place in Uganda. We will recruit 500 children in a highly endemic community. For phenotyping, cases will be defined as the 20% of children with heaviest worm burdens as measured by the CAA assay, while controls will be the 20% of infected children with the lightest worm burdens. Deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) will be genotyped on the Illumina H3Africa SNP (single nucleotide polymorphisms) chip and genotypes will be converted to sets of haplotypes that span the gene region for analysis. We have selected 24 genes for genotyping that are mainly in the Th2 and Th17 pathways and that have variants that have been demonstrated to be or could be associated with Schistosoma infection intensity. Analysis: In the family-based design, we will identify SNP haplotypes disproportionately transmitted to children with high worm burden. Case-control analysis will detect overrepresentation of haplotypes in extreme phenotypes with correction for relatedness by using whole genome principal components.

Cel pracyWirtualna rzeczywistość (ang. Virtual reality - VR) znajduje szerokie zastosowanie w psychiatrii, w tym w zaburzeniach psychotycznych. Główną zaletą VR jest jej wysoka trafność ekologiczna i możliwość kontroli środowiska wirtualnego. Naszym głównym celem było zbadanie, czy podobnie do komputerowo generowanej VR, VR w formie filmów 360 stopni jest w stanie wywołać stan paranoi u podatnych osób.MetodaSzesnastu pacjentów ze schizofrenią i dwadzieścia trzy osoby zdrowe zbadano za pomocą Skali Lęku Społecznego Leibowitza, a dodatkowo w grupie pacjentów zastosowano Skalę Syndromu Pozytywnego i Negatywnego (PANSS-6) oraz Skalę Urojeń Petersa (PDI). Przy pomocy gogli VR uczestnicy oglądali cztery filmy 360 stopni zawierające i niezawierające sytuacje społeczne. W międzyczasie dokonywano ciągłego pomiaru akcji serca badanych. Po ekspozycji obie grupy oceniano za pomocą Skali Stanu Paranoi Społecznej (ang. Social State Paranoia Scale - SSPS) oraz Po ekspozycji obie grupy oceniano za pomocą Skali stanu paranoi społecznej (ang. Social State Paranoia Scale - SSPS) i pytano o chwilowy lęk i poczucie obecności.WynikiPacjenci ze schizofrenią przejawiali wyższy chwilowy lęk, choć wyniki SSPS nie różniły się istotnie między grupami. W grupie kontrolnej częstość akcji serca obniżyła się pomiędzy pierwszym filmem niespołecznym i społecznym, natomiast w grupie pacjentów nie różniła się istotnie. W grupie pacjentów stwierdzono istotną korelację między myśleniem paranoicznym na co dzień (PDI) a przejawianym w VR (SPSS).WnioskiPodsumowując, reakcje paranoiczne mogą być wywoływane u pacjentów ze schizofrenią za pomocą filmów 360 stopni.
The Role of Feedback in Dynamic Crowdsourcing Contests: A Structural Empirical Analysis
Authors: Jiang Zhaohui (Zoey) , Huang Yan , Beil Damian R. 
Published: December 2021

In this paper, we empirically examine the impact of performance feedback on the outcome of crowdsourcing contests. We develop a dynamic structural model to capture the economic processes that drive contest participants’ behavior and estimate the model using a detailed data set about real online logo design contests. Our rich model captures key features of the crowdsourcing context, including a large participant pool; entries by new participants throughout the contest; exploitation (revision of previous submissions) and exploration (radically novel submissions) behaviors by contest incumbents; and the participants’ strategic choice among these entry, exploration, and exploitation decisions in a dynamic game. Using counterfactual simulations, we compare the outcome of crowdsourcing contests under alternative feedback disclosure policies and award levels. Our simulation results suggest that, despite its prevalence on many platforms, the full feedback policy (providing feedback throughout the contest) may not be optimal. The late feedback policy (providing feedback only in the second half of the contest) leads to a better overall contest outcome.

Arte da precariedade, cultura da alteridade. Thomas Hirschhorn e Georges Bataille
Authors: Fontes Filho Osvaldo 
Published: December 2021

Este artigo focaliza a figura do artista engajado da atualidade, personificado por Thomas Hirschhorn, cuja obra trabalha nos limites da precariedade material. Seus trabalhos privilegiam o diálogo com o Outro, em empenho por repolitizar a arte. Procura-se caracterizar o artista-produtor em seu apelo a Georges Bataille (1897-1962), teórico da transgressão que preconizou para a modernidade um dispêndio insensato de formas e energia como contrafação dos mecanismos regrados do consumo moderno. A reflexão explora, por fim, os recursos da cultura da alteridade absorvida por uma arte política, e os riscos que incorre de formalismo e de condescendência etnográfica no trato com os marginalizados da atualidade.
ENTRE O FALAR E O NÃO FALAR EM LÍNGUA ESTRANGEIRA: AS EMOÇÕES DE PROFESSORAS/ES EM FORMAÇÃO / To speak or not to speak in a foreign language: emotions of teachers in training
Authors: Andrade Neta Nair Floresta , Martins Suellen Thomaz de Aquino 
Published: December 2021

Neste artigo, reunimos dois blocos de pesquisas independentes realizadas pelas autoras, em nossas respectivas áreas de atuação: Espanhol como Língua Estrangeira (ELE) e Inglês como Língua Estrangeira (English as a foreign language - EFL). No primeiro caso, as pesquisas se concentraram na influência das emoções na produção oral de professoras/es de ELE na formação inicial; no segundo, na de professoras/es de EFL em formação continuada imersiva. Nessa análise documental, de natureza qualitativa, revisamos os dados referentes às emoções e sentimentos atrelados à oralidade, com o objetivo de compreender, especificamente, como se sentem as/os as/os professoras/es de Língua Espanhola e de Língua Inglesa em formação (inicial e continuada), quando desafiados(as) a falar na língua estrangeira, objeto de estudo e ou trabalho. Os resultados evidenciam as emoções, sentimentos e crenças que permeiam a formação identitária dessas/es profissionais das letras. Esse nível de congruência cognitiva e emocional nos faz suspeitar que há formas de sentir e de pensar características do processo de formação linguística e profissional da/o professora/or de línguas estrangeiras modernas. Dentre essas configurações emocionais -com todo o seu séquito cognitivo (pensamentos e crenças consonantes) - destacam-se, por um lado, o medo, o julgamento e a vergonha de falar na língua, mas, por outro, as emoções decorrentes da superação ao conseguir fazê-lo, como a tranquilidade, a alegria, a segurança.
INTERVIEW WITH DEVON WOODS / Entrevista com Devon Woods

Published: December 2021

On May 27th, 2021, we met virtually with Devon Woods. We asked him about his studies on beliefs and the relationship between beliefs and emotions and identity. We approached the decision-making process and its relationship to BAK (Beliefs, Assumptions and Knowledge). We also, discussed its relevance to English teaching communities, particularly here in Brazil. Devon Woods has always demonstrated to be amazed by the unseen and often unnoticed processes of interpretation that are involved in both personal and pedagogical types of communication. In the 1970s, he engaged in studies of learners’ and teachers’ cognition – their beliefs, interpretations and actions – and the interactions between them in language classrooms. As a product of his 1992 doctoral dissertation, we find his remarkable book “Teacher Cognition in Language Teaching” (1996), several articles, and the focus of the work of a number of graduate students published in the Carleton Papers in Applied Language Studies. The results of this conversation are what we present here in the form of an interview.

Objectives
To determine the risk of having OSA in a cohort of female subjects who are infertile and the odds of being infertile in women with OSA.

Patients and methods
A nationwide, case-control study of female patients 20 years or older diagnosed with female infertility living in Taiwan, from January 1, 2000, through December 31, 2013 (N = 4,078). We identified women who were infertile and created a 2:1 matched control group with women who were not infertile. We used multivariable logistic regression analysis to further estimate the effects of OSA on female infertility.

Results
In this 14- year retrospective study, we included 4,078 patients having an initial diagnosis of female infertility. Of those women with infertility, 1.38% had a history of OSA compared with 0.63% of fertile controls (p = 0.002). The mean ages in the study groups were 32.19 ± 6.20 years, whereas the mean ages in the control groups were 32.24 ± 6.37years. Women with OSA had 2.101- times the risk of female infertility compared to women without OSA (p<0.001).

Conclusion
Our study showed that OSA is more commonly seen in infertile women and increases the odds that a woman will be infertile. More studies need to be done on the whether or not diagnosing and treating OSA can decrease the rate of infertility.
Differential expression of miRNAs involved in biological processes responsible for inflammation and immune response in lichen sclerosus urethral stricture disease

Purpose
To better understand the pathophysiology of lichen sclerosus (LS) urethral stricture disease (USD), we aimed to investigate expression profiles of microRNAs (miRNAs) in tissue samples from men undergoing urethroplasty.

Methods
Urethral stricture tissue was collected from 2005–2020. Histologic features diagnostic of LS were the basis of pathologic evaluation. Foci of areas diagnostic for LS or non-LS strictures were chosen for RNA evaluation. In an initial screening analysis, 13 LS urethral strictures and 13 non-LS strictures were profiled via miRNA RT-qPCR arrays for 752 unique miRNA. A validation analysis of 23 additional samples (9 LS and 14 non-LS) was performed for 15 miRNAs. Statistical analyses were performed using SPSS v25. Gene Ontology (GO) analysis was performed using DIANA-mirPath v. 3.0.

Results
In the screening analysis 143 miRNAs were detected for all samples. 27 were differentially expressed between the groups (false discovery p-value <0.01). 15 of these miRNAs individually demonstrated an area under the curve (AUC)>0.90 for distinguishing between between LS and non-LS strictures. 11-fold upregulation of MiR-155-5p specifically was found in LS vs. non-LS strictures (p<0.001, AUC = 1.0). In the validation analysis, 13 of the 15 miRNAs tested were confirmed to have differential expression (false discovery p-value <0.10).

Conclusions
To our knowledge this is the first study evaluating miRNA expression profiles in LS and non-LS USD. We identified several miRNAs that are differentially expressed in USD caused by LS vs other etiologies, which could potentially serve as biomarkers of LS USD. The top eight differentially expressed miRNAs have been linked to immune response processes as well as involvement in wound healing, primarily angiogenesis and fibrosis.
Augustus’ presentation of “empire” in his Res Gestae
Authors: Xiong Chen 
Published: December 2021

Having defeated all his political enemies and expanded the rule of Rome enormously, Octavian, from 27 BC known as Augustus, ended the civil wars which had plagued the Late Republic and founded the system known as the Roman Principate. The Res Gestae purports to be a retrospective survey by Augustus of his own public achievements in restoring the res publica and conquering the world. It was published in Rome but the only surviving copies were found in the new and distant province of Galatia. In this paper I will try to explain how Augustus, as the founder of the new era known today as ‘the Roman Empire’, envisages and presents Roman rule under his leadership by analysing the content of the Res Gestae. From it we can see that there indeed emerges a concept similar to our ‘empire’. The narrative structure of the Res Gestae shows that Roman imperial rule is conceived of by Augustus in a scheme of core-periphery, in which the core is composed of the provinces under direct Roman control, while the periphery is an area of more vaguely subject people or places maintained by threats and intervention, or more weakly by ‘friendship’ (amicitia), which vary according to the historical specifics of contact between these areas or peoples and Rome. In both cases, whether subjection is in the name of the ‘rule’ or the ‘friendship’ of Roman people, it is Augustus’ personal authority that appears to matter the most, which indicates that Augustus’ institution of a monarchic system was a decisive element in the development of this new holistic concept of Roman imperial rule.
First record for a partial Isabelline colouration in a European mole, Talpa europaea, from Central Italy
Authors: Brustenga Leonardo 
Published: December 2021

Abstract
The European mole Talpa europaea Linnaeus, 1758 is a quite common species in Central Italy. I report the first Isabelline individual of this species recorded in the scientific literature. Actually, this species is quite widespread throughout Europe, but coat-colouration anomalies have never been described in Central Italian mole populations. Further research is therefore needed to determine the percentage of occurrence of anomalous individuals and the evolutionary history of coat anomalies in moles.
[Correction added after online publication 16 December 2021: text in the abstract section “Actually, this species is quite widespread throughout Europe, but coat-colouration anomalies have never been described in Italian mole populations.” has been changed]

Published: December 2021

Abstract
The perpetual exposure of several manmade materials and their activities such as urbanization, industrialization, transportation, mining, construction, petroleum refining, manufacturing, preservatives, disinfectants etc., release various pollutants like organic, inorganic, and heavy metals which pollute the air, water, and soil. This poses various environmental issues which are relevant to the ecosystem and human wellbeing that intensify the implementation of new expedient treatment technologies. Likewise, phenolic and heavy metal pollutants find their way into the environment. These phenolic and heavy metals are toxic to the liver, heart and carcinogenic. Therefore, the removal of these kinds of pollutants from the environment is a highly challenging issue. As conventional treatment technologies have consequent drawbacks, new interests have been developed to remediate and remove pollutants from the ecosystem using metal nanoparticles (MPNs). To date, many researchers all over the world have been investigating novel approaches to enhance various remediation application technologies. One such approach that the researchers are constantly showing interest in is the use of nanomaterials with potential applications towards the environment. In this regard, MPNs like Copper (Cu), Nickel (Ni), Palladium (Pd), Gold (Au), Silver (Ag), Platinum (Pt), Titanium (Ti), and other nano metals are serving as a suitable agent to eliminate emerging contaminants in various fields, particularly in the removal of phenolic and heavy metal pollutants. This chapter discusses the mechanism and application of various MPNs in eliminating various phenolic and heavy metal pollutants from the environment.

Published: December 2021

Abstract
The Research Collaboratory for Structural Bioinformatics Protein Data Bank (RSCB PDB) provides a wide range of digital data regarding biology and biomedicine. This huge internet resource involves a wide range of important biological data, obtained from experiments around the globe by different scientists. The Worldwide Protein Data Bank (wwPDB) represents a brilliant collection of 3D structure data associated with important and vital biomolecules including nucleic acids (RNAs and DNAs) and proteins. Moreover, this database accumulates knowledge regarding function and evolution of biomacromolecules which supports different disciplines such as biotechnology. 3D structure, functional characteristics and phylogenetic properties of biomacromolecules give a deep understanding of the biomolecules’ characteristics. An important advantage of the wwPDB database is the data updating time, which is done every week. This updating process helps users to have the newest data and information for their projects. The data and information in wwPDB can be a great support to have an accurate imagination and illustrations of the biomacromolecules in biotechnology. As demonstrated by the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic, rapidly reliable and accessible biological data for microbiology, immunology, vaccinology, and drug development are critical to address many healthcare-related challenges that are facing humanity. The aim of this paper is to introduce the readers to wwPDB, and to highlight the importance of this database in biotechnology, with the expectation that the number of scientists interested in the utilization of Protein Data Bank’s resources will increase substantially in the coming years.
