Relationship between Gout and Diabetes Mellitus after Acute Pancreatitis: A Nationwide Cohort Study
Authors: Cho Jaelim , Dalbeth Nicola , Petrov Maxim S. 
Published: October 2019

Objective.After acute pancreatitis, individuals often have low-grade inflammation, and subsequently develop metabolic sequelae such as post-pancreatitis diabetes mellitus (PPDM). Although numerous studies have investigated the relationship between gout and type 2 diabetes, little is known about the relationship between gout and PPDM. The aim was to investigate the associations between gout and PPDM.Methods.Using nationwide pharmaceutical dispensing data linked to hospital discharge data in New Zealand, gout and PPDM were identified among individuals after first episode of acute pancreatitis between January 1, 2007, and December 31, 2015. Multivariable Cox regression analyses were conducted, adjusting for age, sex, ethnicity, social deprivation index, alcohol consumption, tobacco smoking, comorbidities, medications (glucocorticoids, statins, and estrogens), and characteristics of acute pancreatitis.Results.A total of 10,117 individuals were included in the analysis of risk for gout and 9471 in the analysis of risk for PPDM. PPDM was significantly associated with a higher risk of gout in the overall cohort (adjusted HR 1.88, 95% CI 1.15–3.06) and women (2.72, 95% CI 1.31–5.65), but not in men (1.42, 95% CI 0.73–2.78). Preexisting gout was significantly associated with a higher risk of PPDM in the overall cohort (adjusted HR 1.58, 95% CI 1.04–2.41) and women (2.66, 95% CI 1.29–5.49), but not in men (1.31, 95% CI 0.78–2.20).Conclusion.The relationship between gout and PPDM is bidirectional in the post-pancreatitis setting. A history of gout is a risk factor of PPDM, particularly in women.
The ecology of resilience learning in ubiquitous environments to adverse situations
Authors: Martínez-Rodríguez Reyna-C. , Benítez-Corona Lilia 
Published: October 2019

Primary education in Mexico is facing a growing set of challenges that the government has tried to counteract through the use of communication technologies (ICT) in formal education. While these efforts provide support for students and educators, there remains a need for a renewed and contextualized awareness that will re-conceptualize the adverse experiences of students and the importance of resilience in the context of the learning environment. The objective of this document is to give an account of the learning acquired by nine telesecondary students in a rural area of Hidalgo and the student’s benefits of building awareness about the ecology of learning. The paper highlights the process of re-envisioning their experiences that emerged from the various points of views shared in discussion. The study was triangulated by quantitative and qualitative phenomenological and hermeneutical analyses. It was organized into three stages and employed a survey, semi-structured interviews, focus groups and use of the Google-Classroom platform. The hermeneutical analysis of autobiographies and the use of technological resources enhanced the personal analysis of the experiences of the participants. These experiences generated learning that may often be invisible in formal education but can empower critical thinking, collaboration and autonomy of students to become aware of their learning and the scope of their social contribution.
La Educación Básica en México contempla desafíos crecientes a los que se enfrenta mediante el uso de Tecnologías de la Información y la Comunicación (TIC). Sin embargo, en la educación formal se requiere detonar una toma de conciencia crítica y contextualizada que rescate las experiencias del estudiantado para resignificar situaciones adversas, así como dar importancia a la resiliencia a partir de las ecologías del aprendizaje. El objetivo de este documento es dar cuenta de los aprendizajes ubicuos que adquirieron nueve estudiantes de telesecundaria en un contexto rural de Hidalgo y los beneficios de la concienciación de la propia ecología del aprendizaje. Se hace énfasis en el proceso de resignificación que emergió a través de las diferentes aristas de comunicación. El estudio presenta resultados de un caso abordado con una metodología mixta por medio de una triangulación de información multifuente, cuantitativa y cualitativa fenomenológica con análisis hermenéutico, organizada en tres etapas, mediante un cuestionario, entrevistas semiestructuradas, grupos focales y uso de la plataforma Google Classroom. El análisis hermenéutico de las autobiografías y el uso de recursos tecnológicos potenció el análisis personal de experiencias generadoras de aprendizajes quizá invisibles en la educación formal, pero que pueden empoderar el pensamiento crítico, la colaboración y autonomía del estudiantado para la toma de conciencia de sus propios aprendizajes y el alcance de su aportación social a lo largo de su vida.
Algebraic Values of Entire Functions with Extremal Growth Orders: An Extension of a Theorem of Boxall and Jones
Authors: Chalebgwa Taboka Prince 
Published: October 2019

AbstractGiven an entire function $f$ of finite order $\unicode[STIX]{x1D70C}$ and positive lower order $\unicode[STIX]{x1D706}$, Boxall and Jones proved a bound of the form $C(\log H)^{\unicode[STIX]{x1D702}(\unicode[STIX]{x1D706},\unicode[STIX]{x1D70C})}$ for the density of algebraic points of bounded degree and height at most $H$ on the restrictions to compact sets of the graph of $f$. The constant $C$ and exponent $\unicode[STIX]{x1D702}$ are effectively computable from certain data associated with the function. In this followup note, using different measures of the growth of entire functions, we obtain similar bounds for other classes of functions to which the original theorem does not apply.
On binary operation graphs
Authors: Al-Harere Manal Naji , Omran Ahmed Abed Ali 
Published: October 2019

A graph labeling is an assignment of integers to the vertices, edges, or to both, and it is subject to certain conditions. In this paper, a new concept of graph labeling called binary operation labeling is introduced. The graph is said to be a binary operation graph if admits a binary operation labeling. Some results for this new type of labeling are contributed.
Recent results for the logarithmic Keller-Segel-Fisher/KPP System
Authors: Zeng Yanni , Zhao Kun 
Published: October 2019

We consider a Keller-Segel type chemotaxis model with logarithmic sensitivity and logistic growth. It is a 2 by 2 system describing the interaction of cells and a chemical signal. We study Cauchy problem with finite initial data, i.e., without the commonly used smallness assumption on initial perturbations around a constant ground state. We survey a sequence of recent results by the authors on the existence of global-in-time solution, long-time behavior, vanishing coefficient limit and optimal time decay rates of the solution.
Performance evolution of a fractal dimension estimated by an escape time algorithm
Authors: Mohammed Arkan 
Published: October 2019

The non-geometric and irregular objects are considered as complex patterns. The geometric complexity is measured as space lling capacity by a factor known as a fractal dimension. Dierent techniques are proposed to nd this complexity measure according to the properties of the pattern. This paper is aimed to introduce a method for counting the dimension of the lled Julia fractal set generated by the Escape Time Algorithm using the method of spreading the points inside the proposed window. The resulted dimension is called Escape Time dimension. A new method to compute a correlation dimension of the Filled Julia fractal set is also proposed based on the Grassberger-Procaccia algorithm by computing the correlation function. A log-log graph of the correlation function versus the distances between every pair of points in the lled Julia fractal set is an approximation of the correlation dimension. Finally, a comparison between these two fractal dimensions of the led Julia fractal set which is generated by the Escape Time Algorithm is presented to show the efficiency of the proposed method.
A variation on strongly lacunary delta ward continuity in 2-normed spaces
Authors: Ersan Sibel 
Published: October 2019

A sequence $(x_{k})$ of points in a subset E of a 2-normed space $X$ is called strongly lacunary $\delta$-quasi-Cauchy, or $N_\theta$-$\delta$-quasi-Cauchy if $(\Delta x_k)$ is $N_\theta$-convergent to 0, that is $\lim_{r\rightarrow\infty}\frac{1}{h_r}\sum_{k\in I_r}||\Delta^2 x_k, z||=0$ for every fixed $z\in X$. A function defined on a subset $E$ of $X$ is called strongly lacunary $\delta$-ward continuous if it preserves $N_{\theta}$-$\delta$-quasi-Cauchy sequences, i.e. $(f(x_{k}))$ is an $N_{\theta}$-$\delta$-quasi-Cauchy sequence whenever $(x_{k})$ is. In this study we obtain some theorems related to strongly lacunary $\delta$-quasi-Cauchy sequences.

The Cultural Otherness of Custance as a Foreign Woman in the Man of Law's Tale
Authors: Hamaguchi Keiko 
Published: October 2019

Abstract
Comparing Chaucer's representation of Custance in the Man of Law's Tale with Trevet's and Gower's, this article explores how Chaucer highlights the cultural otherness of Custance as a foreign woman in England. Drawing upon historical documents, it also examines how Custance as the cultural Other can be associated with real, historical foreign women in late-fourteenth-century England, and how aggression and xenophobia toward Custance reflect Chaucer's own fourteenth-century English society, where people also were xenophobic toward foreign women. Chaucer shows sympathy both with them and with Custance, and implicitly critiques the problematic attitude of his contemporaries toward foreign women in England.
“Us from visible and invisible foon / Defende” (Troilus and Criseyde, V, 1866–67): A Previously Unrecognized Liturgical Echo
Authors: Goldstein R. James 
Published: October 2019

Abstract
Chaucer's borrowing from Dante's Paradiso 14 for the closing prayer in the final stanza of Troilus and Criseyde has been well known since the nineteenth century, but previous scholars have overlooked how the phrase “visible and invisible foon” (V, 1866) echoes a Latin formula in the liturgy. In Middle English sources, the collocation of “visible” and “invisible” with words for “enemy” was relatively rare. Drawing on David Lawton's theory of voice and “public interiorities,” the article considers how the religious turn at the end of the poem is marked by the translation into the vernacular of a Latin phrase that appears in liturgical sources and is related to language that commonly appears in sermons, biblical commentaries, and royal ordinations, including the coronation of Richard II in 1377.
Regional Modernisms in Finland and Sweden: From Rural Death Traps to the Utopian Countryside
Authors: Pöllänen Iida 
Published: October 2019

ABSTRACT
Despite the spatial expansion of modernist studies during the past few decades, scholarship still tends to privilege urban spaces while excluding rural regions from mappings of modernist literature. This article focuses on the countryside and suggests that a study of rural representations through feminist regionalism can provide a transnational frame of analysis for modernist studies, particularly since the phenomenon of modernity affected the countryside all over the world with authors from various locations responding to similar developments and crises. By taking as point of departure the rural regions of Sweden and Finland, this article asks how the countryside became imagined in Nordic modernist texts during the first half of the twentieth century. With a focus on Eyvind Johnson's Stad i mörker (1927) and Hagar Olsson's Träsnidaren och döden (1940), the article analyzes how representations of the countryside are used in these texts to critically consider questions of modernity, nationality, and community. Depending on the intersecting identities of its inhabitants, the countryside ranges from a future utopia of communal life to a backward threat to the developments of modernity.

Authors: García Hidalgo Palmira 
Published: October 2019

La emigración española a América durante el periodo colonial ha sido un fenómeno de gran transcendencia para el discurrir de la historia y las relaciones entre el Viejo y el Nuevo Mundo. Por ello, se ha convirtió en objeto de interés de numerosos investigadores. Este artículo pretende presentar la producción historiográfica realizada en torno a tal cuestión, resaltando cuáles fueron los periodos de mayor auge, las diferentes líneas temáticas abarcadas y la evolución en las metodologías empleadas, así como las fuentes documentales analizadas. Este trabajo se estructura en tres partes: primero referimos las obras que tratan la emigración a la colonia de forma general, posteriormente abordamos aquellas que atienden de forma específica a las mujeres, por considerar la gran transcendencia de estos estudios, y en último lugar, aquellas que conectan la correspondencia privada con las migraciones.
Spanish emigration to America during the colonial era has been a very significant episode in history, having implications in the relationships between the Old and the New World. Therefore, it has been of interest for many researchers. This article aims to introduce the historiographical production originated about the topic. It highlights the periods with the highest peak, the different topics involved, and the evolution of both the methods applied and the analysed sources. This work has been structured in three parts. Firstly, we are going to deal with the works referring to emigration to the colony in general terms. Secondly, we are going to review the ones concerning women, given the relevance and implications of these studies.Thirdly, we are going to approach the works which connect private post with migrations.
De espionaje y cartas náuticas: el impacto de América en la Europa de principios del siglo XVI.
Authors: Moreno Madrid José María 
Published: October 2019

La llegada de Cristóbal Colón a América en 1492 fue un acontecimiento que sacudió los cimientos del mundo occidental de la época. Una ingente cantidad de trabajos sobre esta cuestión se han centrado principalmente en el impacto que tuvo la llegada de los europeos al Nuevo Mundo, mientras que en mucha menor medida encontramos estudios que analicen el inmediato impacto americano en el Viejo Continente, especialmente en el campo de la historia cultural y del pensamiento. En este último ámbito menos trabajado se encuadraría esta investigación, cuyo objetivo es analizar algunos escenarios diplomáticos o de espionaje surgidos en la Europa de principios del siglo XVI a raíz de la primera empresa colombina. El trasfondo de estos contactos es un mosaico de los principales intereses de la época, entre los que podemos destacar la obtención de informaciones para la construcción de obras cartográficas, ambiciones comerciales o alianzas que inviertan los equilibrios de poder.
The arrival of Cristobal Columbus to America in 1492 is considered an important event that shook the foundations of the Western world. A great number of works and investigations about this topic have been focused in the arrival of Europeans to the American continent and its effect rather than on the analysis of the immediate impact of America on the Old World, especially in the field of cultural and intellectual history. This investigation will study that last theme mentioned, being its aim the analysis of the diplomatic scenarios and the collection of intelligence that arose during the XVI century in Europe as a result of the first voyage of Columbus. The historical context of these contacts is a mosaic of the main interests and intrigues of that time. We can highlight among them: obtaining of information to aid in the construction of cartographic works, the development of commercial ambitions, and the forging of alliances that inverted the balance of power.

Utilizando como eje los juicios realizados a Felipe de Sentenach entre 1807 y 1812, en tres momentos clave de la historia rioplatense, analizaremos los cambios políticos, las fidelidades y las luchas entre los personajes que lideraron los procesos que llevaron a la Revolución de Mayo y a su dirección.
Using as an axis the judgments of Felipe de Sentenach between 1807 and 1812, in three key moments of the Rio de la Plata's history, we will analyze the political changes, the loyalties and struggles between the characters who lead the processes that led to the May Revolution and its leadership.
Transformer l’école privée libanaise en école inclusive : quel rôle du·de la directeur·rice ?
Authors: Mjaes Azar Asma 
Published: October 2019

Dès les années 1990, plusieurs écoles privées libanaises accueillent des enfants ayant des besoins éducatifs particuliers. Le·la directeur·rice de l’école est reconnu·e dans les écrits scientifiques comme agent actif dans l’implantation de l’inclusion scolaire, son influence étant déterminante pour la mise en place et la pérennisation des pratiques inclusives. En 2014, nous avons achevé une recherche1 visant à décrire le rôle de la direction de l’école privée libanaise dans l’implantation de l’inclusion scolaire et à repérer les facteurs internes et externes susceptibles d’orienter ses choix et son action. En mettant en place une étude de type exploratoire selon une approche qualitative, nous avons réalisé une étude multicas de cinq écoles privées libanaises. Les résultats montrent que le rôle des directeur·rice·s s’inscrit dans une perspective de changements ponctuels et immédiats se situant essentiellement sur le plan de la structure. Ceux visant des changements et des transformations plus profonds sont peu ou pas mis en place.
Quelles adaptations des enseignant·e·s français·e·s des écoles primaires face aux « éducations à » ?
Authors: Barthes Angela 
Published: October 2019

L’introduction des « éducations à » (au développement durable, à la citoyenneté, etc.) s’accompagne pour les enseignant·e·s de fonctions sociales élargies et d’une diversification des tâches à accomplir. Face aux projets qui rentrent à l’école, peuvent se produire des pertes de repères dans l’exercice du métier enseignant. Afin de comprendre ce qui se passe dans des dispositifs qui ont la particularité d’être initiés par le monde politicoassociatif et de prendre forme à l’intérieur des établissements scolaires, nous analysons diverses formes de réactions enseignantes à partir d’études de cas français. La méthodologie employée questionne les enseignant·e·s avant et après les projets, étudie leurs représentations sociales de leurs métiers et des thématiques abordées, analyse le lien entre leurs postures et leurs contextes sociologiques et géographiques d’exercice de leurs métiers. Il s’agit d’expliciter les différentes postures adoptées dans les dispositifs. Nous en avons déterminé quatre : les militant·e·s, les acceptant·e·s, les résigné·e·s, les résistant·e·s. De plus, selon les contextes, les fonctions enseignantes peuvent se mettre en tension et provoquer un rejet ou encore trouver sens dans un engagement social nouveau.

Abstract

Context
In the aging brain, reduction in the pulsation of cerebral vasculature and fluid circulation causes impairment in the fluid exchange between different compartments and lays a foundation for the neuroinflammation that results in Alzheimer disease (AD). The knowledge that lymphatic vessels in the central nervous system play a role in the clearance of brain-derived metabolic waste products opens an unprecedented capability to increase the clearance of macromolecules such as amyloid β proteins. However, currently there is no pharmacologic mechanism available to increase fluid circulation in the aging brain.

Objective
To demonstrate the influence of an osteopathic cranial manipulative medicine (OCMM) technique, specifically, compression of the fourth ventricle, on spatial memory and changes in substrates associated with mechanisms of metabolic waste clearance in the central nervous system using the naturally aged rat model of AD.

Results
Significant improvement was found in spatial memory in 6 rats after 7 days of OCMM sessions. Live animal positron emission tomographic imaging and immunoassays revealed that OCMM reduced amyloid β levels, activated astrocytes, and improved neurotransmission in the aged rat brains.

Conclusion
These findings demonstrate the molecular mechanism of OCMM in aged rats. This study and further investigations will help physicians promote OCMM as an evidence-based adjunctive treatment for patients with AD.
Effects of number of parallel runs and frequency of bias-strength replacement in generalized ensemble molecular dynamics simulations
Authors: Shimato Takuya , Kasahara Kota , Higo Junichi , Takahashi Takuya 
Published: October 2019

Background
The generalized ensemble approach with the molecular dynamics (MD) method has been widely utilized. This approach usually has two features. (i) A bias potential, whose strength is replaced during a simulation, is applied. (ii) Sampling can be performed by many parallel runs of simulations. Although the frequency of the bias-strength replacement and the number of parallel runs can be adjusted, the effects of these settings on the resultant ensemble remain unclear.

Method
In this study, we performed multicanonical MD simulations for a foldable mini-protein (Trp-cage) and two unstructured peptides (8- and 20-residue poly-glutamic acids) with various settings.

Results
As a result, running many short simulations yielded robust results for the Trp-cage model. Regarding the frequency of the bias-potential replacement, although using a high frequency enhanced the traversals in the potential energy space, it did not promote conformational changes in all the systems.
