Die awarisch-italischen Beziehungen aus goldschmiedetechnischer Sicht: Ein Vorbericht
Authors: Bühler Birgit 
Published: August 2019

Abstract
The technological choices made in the production process of a particular object can provide valuable clues regarding the identity and background of the goldsmith who made it. For example, true repoussé (&quot;Treibziseliertechnik&quot;) was an uncommon technique throughout the entire Avar Period, although it occurs on a number of high-quality items of metalwork, which may be associated - for typological, stylistic and/or technological reasons - with &quot;Byzantine&quot; culture. Although the importance of connections between &quot;Byzantine&quot; and &quot;Avar&quot; culture is already well known, the mechanisms of cultural and technological transfer, as well as the regions where such transfer took place, are not yet clear. The aim of this paper is to demonstrate, with the help of two case studies, how a combination of technological criteria with an innovative, detailed typology of plant ornament may contribute to resolving these questions. The results of this preliminary study suggest that &quot;Italo-Byzantine&quot; workshop traditions may have played an important role in this context.

Evaluation of Building Collapse Risk and Drift Demands by Nonlinear Structural Analyses Using Conventional Hazard Analysis versus Direct Simulation with CyberShake Seismograms
Authors: Bijelić Nenad , Lin Ting , Deierlein Gregory G. 
Published: August 2019

AbstractLimited data on strong earthquakes and their effect on structures pose challenges of making reliable risk assessments of tall buildings. For instance, although the collapse safety of tall buildings is likely controlled by large‐magnitude earthquakes with long durations and high low‐frequency content, there are few available recorded ground motions to evaluate these issues. The influence of geologic basins on amplifying ground‐motion effects raises additional questions. Absent recorded motions from past large magnitude earthquakes, physics‐based ground‐motion simulations provide a viable alternative. This article examines collapse risk and drift demands of a 20‐story archetype tall building using ground motions at four sites in the Los Angeles (LA) basin. Seismic demands of the building are calculated form nonlinear structural analyses using large datasets (∼500,000 ground motions per site) of unscaled, site‐specific simulated seismograms. Seismic hazard and building performance from direct analysis of Southern California Earthquake Center CyberShake motions are contrasted with values obtained based on conventional approaches that rely on recorded motions coupled with probabilistic seismic hazard assessments. At the LA downtown site, the two approaches yield similar estimates of mean annual frequency of collapse (λc), whereas nonlinear drift demands estimated with direct analysis are slightly larger primarily because of differences in hazard curves. Conversely, at the deep basin site, the CyberShake‐based analysis yields around seven times larger λc than the conventional approach, and both hazard and spectral shapes of the motions drive the differences. Deaggregation of collapse risk is used to identify the relative contributions of causal earthquakes, linking building responses with specific seismograms and contrasting collapse risk with hazard. A strong discriminative power of average spectral acceleration and significant duration for predicting collapse is observed.

Authors: Adim Abd. 
Published: August 2019

This research was directed to see the extent of the role of the Sufistic dimensions of economy behavior and the religiosity of Banjarese traders community. The purpose is to study the economy behavior and the religiosity of Banjarese traders community and to understand the Sufistic Dimension by using Sufistic Analysis and Max Weber’s theory. He argued that religion has implications for religious and economy thinking. Prof. Jacquen Austry argued that the Islamic concept of economics has perfection in economic practice compared to the concept of Capitalism and Socialism because it is based on the basis of Islamic teachings, namely the holy Al-Qur’an and the As-Sunnah which are absolutely true. This study is a qualitative research. It uses descriptive-analytic methods. It uses some data collection techniques; they are interview, observation and documentation. Understanding and belief in the Sufisitic Dimension which is considered important for understanding mystical privileges to open the invisible divine veils, but it can be felt as a belief in the blessing media in the area of “Ihsan” in seeking of sustenance from God, then transforms the understanding of exoteric values into esoteric characteristics according to the religious experience of the Banjarese traders community when entering the transcendental region. Penelitian ini diarahkan untuk melihat sejauh mana peran dimensi sufistik pada perilaku ekonomi dan keberagamaan komunitas pedagang Banjar. Adapun tujuannya adalah mengetahui perilaku ekonomi dan keberagamaan komunitas pedagang Banjar dalam memahami dimensi sufistik dengan menggunakan analisis sufistik dengan menggunakan teori Max Weber. Dia mengemukakan bahwa agama memberikan implikasi kepada pemikiran agama dan ekonomi. Prof Jacquen Austry mengemukakan mazhab ekonomi Islam memiliki kesempurnaan dalam praktek ekonomi dibanding Mazhab Kapitalisme dan Sosialisme karena berpatokan pada dasar ajaran Al-Qur’an dan As-Sunnah yang mutlak kebenarannya. penelitian yang digunakan adalah kualitatif melalui metode deksriptif-analitik dengan teknik pengumpulan data melalui wawancara, observasi dan dokumentasi. Oleh sebab itu sebuah pemikiran tentang fenomena perilaku ekonomi yang berada pada komunitas pedagang Banjar perlu dikaji. Jadi pemahaman dan keyakinan terhadap dimensi sufistik juga dianggap urgen dalam memahami keistimewaan mistis guna membuka tabir Ilahi yang tidak terlihat oleh mata dhahir, namun dapat dirasakan seperti keyakinan terhadap media berkah pada wilayah ihsan dalam mencari rezeki Tuhan, kemudian mentranformasikan pemahaman nilai yang bersifat eksotoris ke sifat isotoris menurut pengalaman keberagamaan komunitas pedagang (religious experience) ketika masuk ke wilayah transcendental.

Published: August 2019

Abstract
Background

Human immunological memory is a hallmark of the adaptive immune system and plays an important role in the development of effective immune responses against tumors. In the present study, we aimed to determine the frequencies of CD8 + memory T cell subsets including stem memory T cells (TSCM) in tumor-draining lymph nodes of patients with breast cancer (BC).Methods

Mononuclear cells were obtained from axillary lymph nodes of 52 untreated patients with BC and stained for CD8, CCR7, CD45RO, CD95 markers to detect different subtypes of memory cells in the CD8 + lymphocyte population. Data were acquired with four-color flow cytometry and analyzed with CellQuest Pro software.Results

We observed that 47.65±2.66 of CD8+ lymphocytes expressed the CD45RO marker for memory T cells. Statistical analysis showed that the total frequency of central memory T cells (TCM) and their subset with low CD45RO expression was significantly higher in tumor-involved nodes compared to tumor-free ones (P=0.024 and P=0.017, respectively). Mean CD96 expression (based on mean fluorescence intensity) on the surface of TCM, their CD45RO hi TCM and CD45RO low subsets, and TSCM was higher in patients with stage II compared to those with stage I disease (P<0.05). The percentage of naive CD8 + T cells was significantly higher in tumor-involved lymph nodes compared to tumor-free ones (P=0.025).Conclusions

Our data collectively indicate no significant differences in the frequencies of CD8 + lymphocytes or their memory T cell subsets in tumor-draining lymph nodes of patients with BC. However, the frequency of CD45 low TCM along with naive CD8 + lymphocytes was higher in tumor-involved nodes, which suggests that after long-term exposure to the antigen, and despite the immune reaction in order to provide a pool of effective memory cells, memory cell differentiation is blocked in early-stage (CD45RO low ) due to tumor-derived suppressive factors. Identifying the molecular and cellular mechanisms behind this suppression can provide invaluable tools for adoptive T cell therapies in cancer.
Expression of heparanase regulates cell proliferation, apoptosis, migration and invasion in vitro in papillary thyroid carcinoma cells with multiple signaling pathways involved
Authors: Yang Chuanjia , Zhang Siyang , Chang Xiaoying , Huang Yonglian , Cui Dongxu , Liu Zhen 
Published: August 2019

Abstract
Background

Heparanase (HPSE) is an endo-β-D-glucuronidase, which is found overexpressed in various human cancers. The purpose of our work was to investigate the possible role of HPSE and the involved signaling molecules in the development of papillary thyroid carcinoma.

Methods

In this study, the expression plasmid of HPSE and RNA interference with shRNA specific for HPSE were used to elucidate the effects of HPSE on proliferation, apoptosis, migration and invasion in papillary thyroid carcinoma cells of B-CPAP. The probable downstream signaling molecules of HPSE were also explored.

Results

The results showed that upregulation of HPSE significantly promoted cell proliferation, migration and invasion of B-CPAP cells, and interfered with cell apoptosis. On the contrary, knockdown of HPSE exhibited the opposite effects. Compared with the parental cells, HPSE silencing cells showed attenuated capabilities of proliferation, migration and invasion, yet the apoptotic rate of transfected cells was increased. The activations of various signaling molecules correlated with cell biological behavior were found to be regulated by HPSE upregulation or knockdown.

Conclusions

Our results suggested that HPSE probably contributed to the progression and metastasis of papillary thyroid carcinoma, which were associated with multiple signaling pathways. HPSE could be a potent molecular target for the therapeutic strategy of papillary thyroid carcinoma.

Abstract
Introduction Anemia is one of the most commonly observed hematological abnormalities and an independent poor prognostic marker of HIV disease. The rate of progression and mortality in this subgroup of patients is high compared to non-anemic patients. WHO estimates that over 2 billion people are anemic worldwide and young children bear the world's highest prevalence rate of anemia. In Ethiopia, there is limited information about the determinant factors associated with anemia among HIV positive children. Objective The main purpose of this study was to assess the determinants of anemia among children on highly active anti-retroviral therapy attending hospitals of North Wollo Zone, Amhara Region, Ethiopia. Methods A case-control study was conducted on 350 HIV infected children on HAART attending Hospitals of North Wollo Zone, from February 1 to March 30, 2019. The study participants were selected with consecutive sampling technique. An adapted, interviewer-administered, and pre-tested questionnaire and chart review were employed to collect the data. Besides, blood and stool sample was investigated to determine hematologic indices and malaria and to investigate intestinal parasites respectively. Data were analyzed by using the SPSS version 24 statistical software and bivariate and multivariate logistic regression was used to identify predictors. Results A total of 350 HIV positive children (117 cases and 234 controls) were included in this study with an overall response rate of 100%.On multivariate analysis, variables which have spastically significance association with anemia were; had Amebiasis (AOR = 7.29, 1.22 - 43.56), had history of opportunistic infections (AOR = 9.63, 1.94 - 47.85), had malaria infection (malaria pf) (AOR = 4.37, 1.16 - 16.42),eating non-diversified (AOR = 10.39, 2.25 - 48.0), WGT –Age Z score value between -2_-3 (AOR = 9.80, 2.46 - 39.14),level of adherence (AOR = 2.31, 1.92, 7.77) and being from rural area(AOR = 8.8, 2.07 - 37.79). Conclusion In this study having parasitic infections, history of opportunistic infections, being malnourished, poor adherence to ART, caregivers living in the rural area and eating non-diversified foods were significantly associated with anemia among HIV positive children on HAART.

Published: August 2019

Abstract
Background: Sleep quality in the third trimester of pregnant women is related to mental health. However, There is still a lack of large-scale cohort research in the second trimester to confirms this relationship. We aim to assess the associations of sleep quality during the second trimester with antenatal stress and antenatal and postnatal depression.
Methods: We examined 1152 pregnant women from a prospective cohort study in China to assess the associations of sleep quality in the second trimester with antenatal stress, antenatal depression, and postnatal depression. We used linear regression models and logistic regression models to examine the associations of sleep quality (Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index [PSQI]) during pregnancy with perinatal stress (Pregnancy Pressure Scale [PPS]) and depression (Edinburgh Postnatal Depression Scale [EPDS]) status. We further assessed the relationship in groups divided according to age.
Results: PSQI scores were positively associated with antenatal PPS scores (β: 1.52, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 1.28, 1.76), antenatal EPDS scores (β: 0.68, 95% CI: 0.58, 0.78), and postpartum EPDS scores (β: 0.51, 95% CI: 0.38, 0.64). Poor sleep quality was associated with antenatal stress status (odds ratio [OR]: 2.60, 95% CI: 1.79, 3.77), antenatal depression status (OR: 3.42, 95% CI: 2.48, 4.72), and postpartum depression status (OR: 2.40, 95% CI: 1.58, 3.64). The association of sleep quality in the second trimester with depression status was found in women older than 30 years old (OR: 4.12, 95% CI: 2.18, 7.78) and not in women younger than 30 years old.
Conclusion: Poor sleep quality in the second trimester among Chinese pregnant women is associated with stress and depression symptoms. Strategies to boost sleep quality should be considered during prenatal health care to improve women’s mental health status.
