AbstractBackgroundType I pseudohypoaldosteronism (PHA1) is a rare condition characterised by profound salt wasting, hyperkalaemia and metabolic acidosis due to renal tubular resistance to aldosterone (PHA1a) or defective sodium epithelial channels (PHA1b or systemic PHA). Our aim was to review the clinical presentation related to the genotype in patients with PHA1.MethodsA questionnaire-based cross-sectional survey was undertaken through the British Society of Paediatric Endocrinology and Diabetes (BSPED) examining the clinical presentation and management of patients with genetically confirmed PHA1. We also reviewed previously reported patients where genotypic and phenotypic information were reported.ResultsGenetic confirmation was made in 12 patients with PHA1; four had PHA1a, including one novel mutation inNR3C2; eight had PHA1b, including three with novel mutations inSCNN1Aand one novel mutation inSCNN1B.It was impossible to differentiate between types of PHA1 from early clinical presentation or the biochemical and hormonal profile. Patients presenting with missense mutations ofSCNN1AandSCNN1Bhad a less marked rise in serum aldosterone suggesting preservation in sodium epithelial channel function.ConclusionsWe advocate early genetic testing in patients with presumed PHA1, given the challenges in differentiating between patients with PHA1a and PHA1b. Clinical course differs between patients withNR3C2andSCNN1Amutations with a poorer prognosis in those with multisystem PHA. There were no obvious genotype-phenotype correlations between mutations on the same gene in our cohort and others, although a lower serum aldosterone may suggest a missense mutation inSCNN1in patients with PHA1b.
Teacher as a Foreigner in Critical Multicultural Teacher Education
Authors: Shim Jenna Mim 
Published: July 2019

Abstract
In this article, I discuss my own experience as a critical multicultural educator who is an Asian American. Using the psychoanalytic ideas of Holding Environment and Countertransference, I use the two questions of where you am from and where are you really from in this article as a way to think through and learn about my own emotional world and its influence on multicultural education teacher education courses that I teach. I conclude that such exploration into my emotional world is helpful and necessary in giving new and different meanings to my emotional experience beyond seeing it as a mere response to students’ questions and understanding their psychical world in which questions like where are you from and where are you really from become the students’ own defense against difference.
Three-Dimensional Boundary layer Flow and Heat Transfer of a Fluid Particle Suspension over a Stretching Sheet Embedded in a Porous Medium
Authors: Mallikarjuna H.B. , Jayaprakash M.C. , Mishra Raghavendra 
Published: July 2019

Abstract
This article presents the effect of nonlinear thermal radiation on three dimensional flow and heat transfer of fluid particle suspension over a stretching sheet. The combined effects of non-uniform source/sink and convective boundary condition are taken into consideration. The governing partial differential equations are transformed into ordinary differential equations using similarity variables, which are then solved numerically by using Runge Kutta Fehlberg-45 method with shooting technique. The influence of various parameters on velocity and temperature profiles are illustrated graphically, and discussed in detail. The results indicate that the fluid phase velocity is greater than that of the particle phase for various existing parameters.

Published: July 2019

Abstract
In this article, we study the nonlinear steady thermal convection of an incompressible third-grade non-Newtonian fluid from a horizontal circular cylinder. The transformed conservation equations are solved numerically subject to physically appropriate boundary conditions using a second-order accurate implicit finite-differences Keller Box technique. The influence of a number of emerging non-dimensional parameters, namely the third-grade fluid parameter (ϕ), the material fluid parameters (ϵ1, ϵ2), Prandtl number (Pr), Biot number (y), thermal radiation (F) and dimensionless tangential coordinate (ξ) on velocity and temperature evolution in the boundary layer regime are examined in detail. Furthermore, the effects of these parameters on surface heat transfer rate and local skin friction are also investigated. Validation with earlier Newtonian studies is presented and excellent correlation is achieved. It is found that the velocity, skin friction and Nusselt number (heat transfer rate) reduce with increasing third grade fluid parameter (ϕ), whereas the temperature is enhanced. Increasing material fluid parameter (ϵ1) reduces the velocity and heat transfer rate but enhances the temperature and skin friction. The study is relevant to chemical materials processing applications and low density polymer materials processing.

Banana and plantain fiber-reinforced polymer composites
Authors: Adeniyi Adewale George , Ighalo Joshua O. , Onifade Damilola Victoria 
Published: July 2019

Abstract
Natural fiber-reinforced polymer composites have been widely explored by many researchers due to their improved modulus and lightness compared to other conventional construction materials such as wood, metal, and steel. Cultivators only harvest banana and plantain fruits for food and leaves for food wrapping. The other portions of the plant are considered as wastes and a potential resource of natural fibers used as reinforcement in composites. Over the years, a plethora of research works has been done on banana and plantain fibers as fillers in plastic composites. Comprehensive catalogues of preparation techniques and mechanical properties were presented. The mechanical properties of banana fiber reinforcement in polyester and epoxy composites were compared to and contrasted with those of other natural fibers to elucidate its superiority or inferiority to those materials. This work gives an overview of the current state of knowledge of banana fiber-reinforced composites alongside the available research gaps.
Mixed matrix membranes for hydrocarbons separation and recovery: a critical review
Authors: Najari Sara , Saeidi Samrand , Gallucci Fausto , Drioli Enrico 
Published: July 2019

Abstract
The separation and purification of light hydrocarbons are significant challenges in the petrochemical and chemical industries. Because of the growing demand for light hydrocarbons and the environmental and economic issues of traditional separation technologies, much effort has been devoted to developing highly efficient separation techniques. Accordingly, polymeric membranes have gained increasing attention because of their low costs and energy requirements compared with other technologies; however, their industrial exploitation is often hampered because of the trade-off between selectivity and permeability. In this regard, high-performance mixed matrix membranes (MMMs) are prepared by embedding various organic and/or inorganic fillers into polymeric materials. MMMs exhibit the advantageous and disadvantageous properties of both polymer and filler materials. In this review, the influence of filler on polymer chain packing and membrane sieving properties are discussed. Furthermore, the influential parameters affecting MMMs affinity toward hydrocarbons separation are addressed. Selection criteria for a suitable combination of polymer and filler are discussed. Moreover, the challenges arising from polymer/filler interactions are analyzed to allow for the successful implementation of this promising class of membranes.
Quelques expériences pour développer l’expression de sens en cartographie thématique
Authors: Jégou Laurent 
Published: July 2019

Abstract
La cartographie thématique vise à produire des représentations visuelles de données comportant une dimension spatiale. Structurée dans les années 1970 selon une approche explicitement sémiotique, elle s’est peu à peu détachée des recherches dans ce domaine pour se stabiliser autour de pratiques largement standardisées. Ce constat, et celui de l’écart avec ce que peut produire une approche plus artistique par des infographistes, a motivé une recherche d’outils accessibles pour aider à comprendre cette sémiose. On a tout d’abord cherché à saisir la complexité des images cartographiques pour tenter d’en simplifier leur perception et interprétation. Les outils d’analyse de l’attention visuelle ont apporté des résultats encourageants. Ensuite, on s’est intéressés à la couleur : comment découvrir des compositions colorées plus expressives ? Dans la peinture ? On a ensuite cherché à assister la composition de dégradés de couleurs tirés de sources picturales. Ces idées ont pu être mises en pratique et évaluées grâce au support Internet : il est possible de proposer des traitements complexes de manière accessible et rapide. Ces outils sont décrits sur un carnet de recherche Hypothèses.org, tout en ouvrant le code source. Cela pourrait ouvrir la voie à une étude plus poussée des capacités expressives des signes plastiques utilisés en infographie.

Abstract

Aim
The objective of the current study is to examine the association between serum fetuin-A concentrations and some other inflammation markers neutrophil to lymphocyte ratio (NLR), mean platelet volume (MPV) and C reactive protein (CRP) in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) and hemodialysis.

Methods
The study subjects are composed of healthy volunteers (n = 47) and two patient groups; CKD patients (n = 26) and hemodialysis patients (n = 33). We measured serum glucose, urea, creatinine, total protein, albumin, sodium, potassium, calcium, phosphorus, iron, alkaline phosphatase, parathyroid hormone, ferritin and CRP levels by auto-analyzer and fetuin-A levels by ELISA method. Also, complete blood count parameters were analyzed and NLR was calculated.

Results
There were significant differences in serum fetuin-A concentrations, NLR and MPV values among three groups (p < 0.001, p < 0.001, p < 0.001). The correlation analyses revealed that fetuin-A negatively correlated with urea, creatinine, ferritin, and CRP concentrations (r: 0.349, 0.367, 0.399, 0.550, respectively, p < 0.05).

Conclusion
Fetuin-A is lower in CKD and hemodialysis patients than the control group; supporting as a negative acute phase reactant. Determination of serum fetuin-A, NLR and MPV might be useful to assess inflammation in CKD and hemodialysis patients.

Hot Deformation of 18 % Ni Maraging Steels: A Review
Authors: Nageswara Rao M. , Narayana Murty S. V. S. 
Published: July 2019

Abstract
The published literature makes reference to the excellent hot workability of 18 % nickel maraging steels. However, production of large cross-sectioned products of 18 % nickel maraging steels by hot deformation can lead to different types of quality problems, such as (i) inadequate recrystallization and grain structure aligned in working direction, resulting in directionality of mechanical properties; (ii) thermal embrittlement that leads to poor values of ductility and fracture toughness; and (iii) sharp increase in flow stress with decreasing hot working temperature, necessitating the application of high loads for deformation at relatively low temperatures. To overcome these problems, primarily two sets of studies have been carried out by researchers. One set of studies was centered around the development of an optimum post–hot work solution treatment. Two-stage solution treatments, as opposed to standard single-stage solution treatment at 820°C, have been developed and are shown to lead to a fine-grained microstructure and an excellent combination of strength and fracture toughness with a high degree of isotropy. It has been documented that such heat treatments can also rejuvenate the quality of the products produced through a nonoptimum hot deformation schedule. The other set of studies was focused on establishing deformation processing maps using hot isothermal uniaxial compression testing. Different grades of 18 % nickel maraging steels have been the subject of investigation. Based on these studies, regimes of strain rate and temperature have been identified for optimum processing. Regimes in which flow localization occurs and hence need to be avoided have been identified. Processing regimes for obtaining fine-grained microstructures have been identified; regimes that lead to coarse grains, which need to be avoided, have been established. Constitutive equations have been developed to predict the deformation behavior as an aid to the design of the hot deformation process.

BRUNO DE MENEZES: UM PERCURSO DO REINVENTOR DO PEIXE FRITO
Authors: REIS Marcos Valério Lima 
Published: July 2019

Bruno de Menezes, negro, jornalista, militante, literato paraense, enfim, humanista, construiu uma produção literatura sui generis no cenário nacional no chamado contexto do Modernismo, embora sua obra praticamente esteja circunscrita à circulação no âmbito local. Ele vivenciou na poética e na política experiências que lhes permitiram contrapor-se à imagem estereotipada do negro apresentada pela produção literária dominante. Partindo dessa motivação, o texto objetiva acompanhar e analisar aspectos da trajetória de vida do poeta negro, o processo de criação de sua produção artística, focalizando sua militância política e as relações dessa vivência com seu fazer literário. Para isso, utiliza-se a análise interpretativa dos Estudos Culturais, campo teórico-metodológico que, ao se ocupar das conexões Literatura e História, apreende interdisciplinarmente experiências socioculturais de diferentes agentes em negociações, aceitações, conflitos e resistências. Igualmente, valoriza os sentidos das relações de força impostas pela classe dominante e como grupos populares as experimentam, contaminam-se e as contestam. Seus diálogos legitimados pela vivência e pela arte literária, tornam-se importante instrumento de estudo sobre poesia, identidades, saberes e religiosidades das diásporas africanas na Amazônia.

Introduction. The description of the clinical and genetic characteristics of eight patients with autosomal-recessive variant pontocerebellar hypoplasia due to mutations in the TSEN54 gene.Purpose. Description of clinical and genetic characteristics of Russian patients with type 2A and type 4 of pontocerebellar hypoplasia.Materials and methods. The diagnosis of pontocerebellar hypoplasia was established on the basis of the specific features of clinical manifestations and detection of mutations in the gene TSEN54 based on the analysis of the results of exome sequencing. Results. 8 patients with pontocerebellar hypoplasia caused by mutations in the TSEN54 gene were identified. Discussion. Based on the features of clinical manifestations and severity of the disease in 5 patients diagnosed pontocerebellar hypoplasia type 2A, and in 3 patients – type 4. In patients with type 2A of pontocerebellar hypoplasia discovered mutation c. 919G>T (p.Ala307Ser) in a homozygous state. Patients with type 4 of pontocerebellar hypoplasia this mutation is detected in the compound heterozygous state with c.670_671delAA (p.Lys224fs) and c.1264C>T (p.Gln422fs).Conclusion. The obtained results allow us to conclude that, as well as in European populations, the mutation c.919G>T (p. Ala307Ser) is a major in Russian patients with pontocerebellar hypoplasia 2A and 4 types, which account for about half of all cases of this disease group. The search for this mutation should be the first stage of molecular genetic diagnosis in patients with clinical and magnetic resonance signs of pontocerebellar hypoplasia.

Published: July 2019

Dysimmune neuropathies are heterogeneous group of acquired immune-mediated diseases, accompanied by damage to the peripheral nervous system. As a standard therapy, prednisolone and intravenous immunoglobulins are used. Also encouraging efficacy is demonstrated by the use of a genetically engineered chimeric monoclonal antibody to the CD20 antigen found on the surface of normal and malignant B-cells – rituximab. Rituximab shows encouraging results. We reviewed the use of rituximab for dysimmune polyneuropathies and described our experience in administration of Lewis–Sumner syndrome and myelin-associated glycoprotein related neuropathy with rituximab.
