Impact of chronic stress on cardiovascular system: Libyan conflict health perspective part 2: Mechanisms and treatment strategies
Authors: Elhwuegi Abdalla , Teebar Lamis 
Published: January 2019

AbstractRecent studies have provided clear and convincing evidence that chronic stress contributes significantly to the pathogenesis and expression of cardiovascular diseases (CVDs). This bibliography is a systematic review on the impact of chronic stress on the cardiovascular system with a special reflection on the Libyan conflict. It is divided into two parts, Part 1 deals with types of chronic stresses, while Part 2 deals with mechanisms involved in chronic stress and their treatments. Medline/PubMed, Google Scholar, and Scopus databases were used to search for peer-reviewed papers dealing with the review theme. Mechanisms responsible for the development of chronic stress are either behavioral or biological. Behavioral factors include lifestyles (e.g., smoking, alcohol, and physical inactivity). Biological mechanisms include sympathetic overdrive, hypothalamic–pituitary–adrenal axis overactivity, and low activity of central gamma-aminobutyric acid. Chronic stress managements and treatment strategies include psychological treatment like cognitive behavioral interventions, breathing techniques like Yoga and/or pharmacological treatments like selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors, and drugs that inhibit sympathetic hyperactivity.
Optimal inverse estimation of ecosystem parameters from observations of carbon and energy fluxes

Published: January 2019

Abstract. Canopy
structural and leaf photosynthesis parameterizations such as maximum
carboxylation capacity (Vcmax), slope of the Ball–Berry
stomatal conductance model (BBslope) and leaf area index (LAI)
are crucial for modeling plant physiological processes and canopy radiative
transfer. These parameters are large sources of uncertainty in predictions of
carbon and water fluxes. In this study, we develop an optimal moving window
nonlinear Bayesian inversion framework to use the Soil Canopy Observation
Photochemistry and Energy fluxes (SCOPE) model for constraining
Vcmax, BBslope and LAI with observations of
coupled carbon and energy fluxes and spectral reflectance from satellites. We
adapted SCOPE to follow the biochemical implementation of the Community Land
Model and applied the inversion framework for parameter retrievals of plant
species that have both the C3 and C4 photosynthetic pathways across
three ecosystems. We present comparative analysis of parameter retrievals
using observations of (i) gross primary productivity (GPP) and latent energy
(LE) fluxes and (ii) improvement in results when using flux observations
along with reflectance. Our results demonstrate the applicability of the
approach in terms of capturing the seasonal variability and posterior error
reduction (40 %–90 %) of key ecosystem parameters. The optimized
parameters capture the diurnal and seasonal variability in the GPP and LE
fluxes well when compared to flux tower observations (0.95>R2>0.79).
This study thus demonstrates the feasibility of parameter inversions using
SCOPE, which can be easily adapted to incorporate additional data sources
such as spectrally resolved reflectance and fluorescence and thermal
emissions.
Pollen-based temperature and precipitation changes in the Ohrid Basin (western Balkans) between 160 and 70 ka

Published: January 2019

Abstract. Our study aims to reconstruct climate changes that occurred at Lake Ohrid
(south-western Balkan Peninsula), the oldest extant lake in Europe, between
160 and 70 ka (covering part of marine isotope stage 6, MIS 6; all of MIS 5;
and the beginning of MIS 4). A multi-method approach, including the “Modern
Analog Technique” and the “Weighted Averaging Partial Least-Squares Regression”, is
applied to the high-resolution pollen sequence of the DEEP site, collected
from the central part of Lake Ohrid, to provide quantitative estimates of
climate and bioclimate parameters. This allows us to document climatic change
during the key periods of MIS 6 and MIS 5 in southern Europe, a region where
accurate climate reconstructions are still lacking for this time interval. Our results for the penultimate glacial show cold and dry conditions, while the onset of
the “last interglacial” is characterized by wet and warm conditions, with temperatures
higher than today (by ca. 2 ∘C). The Eemian also shows the well-known climatic
tri-partition in the Balkans, with an initial pre-temperate phase of abrupt warming
(128–121 ka), a central temperate phase with decreasing temperatures associated with
wet conditions (121–118 ka), followed by a post-temperate phase of progressive change
towards cold and dry conditions (118–112 ka). After the Eemian, an alternation of four warm/wet periods with cold/dry
ones, likely related to the succession of Greenland stadials and cold events
known from the North Atlantic, occurred. The observed pattern is also
consistent with hydrological and isotopic data from the central
Mediterranean. The Lake Ohrid climate reconstruction shows greater similarity with climate
patterns inferred from northern European pollen records than with southern
European ones, which is probably due to its intermediate position and the
mountainous setting. However, this hypothesis needs further testing as very
few climate reconstructions are available for southern Europe for this key
time period.
Book Review: Coding with XML for Efficiencies in Cataloging and Metadata
Authors: Lorenzo Lisa 
Published: January 2019

Written as a follow-up to an Association for Library Collections & Technical Services (ALCTS) pre-conference held during the 2015 American Library Association (ALA) Annual Conference, Coding with XML for Efficiencies in Cataloging and Metadata is an excellent introduction to the potential of Extensible Markup Language (XML) and related technologies in creating efficiencies in library cataloging and metadata work. As stated in the volume’s introduction, this guide will be most useful to those with some familiarity with XML or Hypertext Markup Language (HTML). However, this is not a requirement as the first chapter introduces XML in a way that will bring most newcomers up to speed. Catalogers will likely benefit most from this volume given that the majority of examples involve MARC 21 bibliographic data. However, metadata managers more broadly will also find value here, particularly in sections on XML Schema Definition Language (XSD), Extensible Stylesheet Language for Transformation (XSLT), XPath, and XQuery. Coding with XML does not purport to be a comprehensive reference for all XML work in libraries, but more of “a tutorial on its subject” (3). This is certainly true—each section provides an approachable and thorough introduction to a particular technology rather than an exhaustive list of features. There is also a useful list of resources at the end of the book for readers who want more information and more in-depth examples.

GIZAChain: e-Government Interoperability Zone Alignment, based on blockchain technology
Authors: El-dosuky Mohamed A , El-adl Gamal H 
Published: January 2019

E-government provides access to services anytime anywhere. There are many e-Government frameworks already exist to integrate e-government services, but efficient full interoperability still a challenge.
Interoperability per se can be modeled via four maturity stages, in which the interoperability zone is the holy grail of full interoperability to be reached ultimately with strategy alignment. As e-government services shift in the same way as e-commerce with value chain, this implicitly implies the possibility of benefiting from blockchain with e-government. Blockchain is a nascent promising architecture, whose transactions are permanent, verifiable, and recorded in a distributed ledger.
This research article suggests applying blockchain in achieving e- government interoperability. Forms are juxtaposed on the outer borders of the system. These forms adopt those used by UK government, because they are standard as well as they are available for Python developers. Once a form has been completed, PySOA calls the requested service, before storing the data in Ontology Blockchain. After the service is performed, the policies are analyzed in batch processing using quantgov. A report is submitted to the central government periodically. Ontology Blockchain has a dual effect. On the one hand, it works as a secure data storage. On the other hand, it cooperates with PySOA in supporting both technology and semantic interoperability . The most important feature of the proposed method is the presence of (Government Interoperability Zone Alignment; GIZA), which acts as a backbone that coherently connects the internal subcomponents. This linkage is possible, because each form has an title, that corresponds to the appropriate service name. Each service in turn has a counterpart in the wallets stored in Ontology blockchain.
To measure interoperability empirically, there is a need for metrics. This study adopts and quantizes a standard interoperability matrix along three dimensions of interoperability of Conceptual (Syntax& Semantics), Organizational (Responsibilities& Organization per se), and Technology (Platform& Communication). While concerns are : data, business, service, and process. Any deviation from the standard could contributes to the interoperability score (counting mismatches) or interoperability grade (counting absolute differences). An estimation is performed, for 1000 total random cases. It is estimated that the probability of getting a conceptual/technical interoperability score as large as the standard strategy score is (713 /1000 = 0.713 (2 in 3). It is estimated too that the probability of getting a organizational interoperability score as large as the standard strategy score is (712 /1000 = 0.712 (2 in 3). Then, Markov model is proposed to provide an accurate representation of the evolution of the strategies over time.
After Phrenology
Authors: Anderson Michael L. 
Published: January 2019

A proposal for a fully post-phrenological neuroscience that details the evolutionary roots of functional diversity in brain regions and networks.
The computer analogy of the mind has been as widely adopted in contemporary cognitive neuroscience as was the analogy of the brain as a collection of organs in phrenology. Just as the phrenologist would insist that each organ must have its particular function, so contemporary cognitive neuroscience is committed to the notion that each brain region must have its fundamental computation. In After Phrenology, Michael Anderson argues that to achieve a fully post-phrenological science of the brain, we need to reassess this commitment and devise an alternate, neuroscientifically grounded taxonomy of mental function.
Anderson contends that the cognitive roles played by each region of the brain are highly various, reflecting different neural partnerships established under different circumstances. He proposes quantifying the functional properties of neural assemblies in terms of their dispositional tendencies rather than their computational or information-processing operations. Exploring larger-scale issues, and drawing on evidence from embodied cognition, Anderson develops a picture of thinking rooted in the exploitation and extension of our early-evolving capacity for iterated interaction with the world. He argues that the multidimensional approach to the brain he describes offers a much better fit for these findings, and a more promising road toward a unified science of minded organisms.

What Is Landscape?
Authors: Stilgoe John R. 
Published: January 2019

A lexicon and guide for discovering the essence of landscape.
“Mr. Stilgoe does not ask that we take his book outdoors with us; he believes that reading and experiencing landscapes are activities that should be kept separate. But, as I learned in his book, the hollow storage area in a car driver's door was once a holster, the 'secure nesting place of a pistol.' I recommend you stow your copy there.” —The Wall Street Journal
Landscape, John Stilgoe tells us, is a noun. From the old Frisian language (once spoken in coastal parts of the Netherlands and Germany), it meant shoveled land: landschop. Sixteenth-century Englishmen misheard or mispronounced this as landskep, which became landskip, then landscape, designating the surface of the earth shaped for human habitation. In What Is Landscape? Stilgoe maps the discovery of landscape by putting words to things, zeroing in on landscape's essence but also leading sideways expeditions through such sources as children's picture books, folklore, deeds, antique terminology, out-of-print dictionaries, and conversations with locals. (“What is that?” “Well, it's not really a slough, not really, it's a bayou...”) He offers a highly original, cogent, compact, gracefully written narrative lexicon of landscape as word, concept, and path to discoveries.
What Is Landscape? is an invitation to walk, to notice, to ask: to see a sandcastle with a pinwheel at the beach and think of Dutch windmills—icons of triumph, markers of territory won from the sea; to walk in the woods and be amused by the Elizabethans' misuse of the Latin silvaticus (people of the woods) to coin the word savages; to see in a suburban front lawn a representation of the meadow of a medieval freehold.
Discovering landscape is good exercise for body and for mind. This book is an essential guide and companion to that exercise—to understanding, literally and figuratively, what landscape is.
Reordering Life
Authors: Hilgartner Stephen 
Published: January 2019

How the regimes governing biological research changed during the genomics revolution, focusing on the Human Genome Project.
The rise of genomics engendered intense struggle over the control of knowledge. In Reordering Life, Stephen Hilgartner examines the “genomics revolution” and develops a novel approach to studying the dynamics of change in knowledge and control. Hilgartner focuses on the Human Genome Project (HGP)—the symbolic and scientific centerpiece of the emerging field—showing how problems of governance arose in concert with new knowledge and technology. Using a theoretical framework that analyzes “knowledge control regimes,” Hilgartner investigates change in how control was secured, contested, allocated, resisted, justified, and reshaped as biological knowledge was transformed. Beyond illuminating genomics, Reordering Life sheds new light on broader issues about secrecy and openness in science, data access and ownership, and the politics of research communities.
Drawing on real-time interviews and observations made during the HGP, Reordering Life describes the sociotechnical challenges and contentious issues that the genomics community faced throughout the project. Hilgartner analyzes how laboratories control access to data, biomaterials, plans, preliminary results, and rumors; compares conflicting visions of how to impose coordinating mechanisms; examines the repeated destabilization and restabilization of the regimes governing genome databases; and examines the fierce competition between the publicly funded HGP and the private company Celera Genomics. The result is at once a path-breaking study of a self-consciously revolutionary science, and a provocative analysis of how knowledge and control are reconfigured during transformative scientific change.
Power Lines
Authors: Lieberman Jennifer L. 
Published: January 2019

How electricity became a metaphor for modernity in the United States, inspiring authors from Mark Twain to Ralph Ellison.
At the turn of the twentieth century, electricity emerged as a metaphor for modernity. Writers from Mark Twain to Ralph Ellison grappled with the idea of electricity as both life force (illumination) and death spark (electrocution). The idea that electrification created exclusively modern experiences took hold of Americans' imaginations, whether they welcomed or feared its adoption. In Power Lines, Jennifer Lieberman examines the apparently incompatible notions of electricity that coexisted in the American imagination, tracing how electricity became a common (though multifarious) symbol for modern life.
Lieberman examines a series of moments of technical change when electricity accrued new social meanings, plotting both power lines and the power of narrative lines in American life and literature. While discussing the social construction of electrical systems, she offers a new interpretation of Twain's use of electricity as an organizing metaphor in A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur's Court, describes the rhetoric surrounding the invention of electric execution, analyzes Charlotte Perkins Gilman's call for human connection in her utopian writing and in her little-known Human Work, considers the theme of electrical interconnection in Jack London's work, and shows how Ralph Ellison and Louis Mumford continued the literary tradition of electrical metaphor.
Electrical power was a distinctive concept in American literary, cultural, and technological histories. For this reason, narratives about electricity were particularly evocative. Bridging the realistic and the romantic, the historical and the fantastic, these stories guide us to ask new questions about our enduring fascination with electricity and all it came to represent.
A Brief History of Feminism
Authors: Patu  , Schrupp Antje 
Published: January 2019

An engaging illustrated history of feminism from antiquity through third-wave feminism, featuring Sappho, Mary Magdalene, Mary Wollstonecraft, Sojourner Truth, Simone de Beauvoir, and many others.
The history of feminism? The right to vote, Susan B. Anthony, Gloria Steinem, white pantsuits? Oh, but there's so much more. And we need to know about it, especially now. In pithy text and pithier comics, A Brief History of Feminism engages us, educates us, makes us laugh, and makes us angry. It begins with antiquity and the early days of Judeo-Christianity. (Mary Magdalene questions the maleness of Jesus's inner circle: “People will end up getting the notion you don't want women to be priests.” Jesus: “Really, Mary, do you always have to be so negative?”) It continues through the Middle Ages, the Early Modern period, and the Enlightenment (“Liberty, equality, fraternity!” “But fraternity means brotherhood!”). It covers the beginnings of an organized women's movement in the nineteenth century, second-wave Feminism, queer feminism, and third-wave Feminism.
Along the way, we learn about important figures: Olympe de Gouges, author of the “Declaration of the Rights of Woman and the Female Citizen” (guillotined by Robespierre); Flora Tristan, who linked the oppression of women and the oppression of the proletariat before Marx and Engels set pen to paper; and the poet Audre Lorde, who pointed to the racial obliviousness of mainstream feminism in the 1970s and 1980s. We learn about bourgeois and working-class issues, and the angry racism of some American feminists when black men got the vote before women did. We see God as a long-bearded old man emerging from a cloud (and once, as a woman with her hair in curlers). And we learn the story so far of a history that is still being written.
Deaccessioning and Its Discontents
Authors: Gammon Martin 
Published: January 2019

The first history of the deaccession of objects from museum collections that defends deaccession as an essential component of museum practice.
Museums often stir controversy when they deaccession works—formally remove objects from permanent collections—with some critics accusing them of betraying civic virtue and the public trust. In fact, Martin Gammon argues in Deaccessioning and Its Discontents, deaccession has been an essential component of the museum experiment for centuries. Gammon offers the first critical history of deaccessioning by museums from the seventeenth to the twenty-first century, and exposes the hyperbolic extremes of “deaccession denial”—the assumption that deaccession is always wrong—and “deaccession apology”—when museums justify deaccession by finding some fault in the object—as symptoms of the same misunderstanding of the role of deaccessions in proper museum practice. He chronicles a series of deaccession events in Britain and the United States that range from the disastrous to the beneficial, and proposes a typology of principles to guide future deaccessions.
Gammon describes the liquidation of the British Royal Collections after Charles I's execution—when masterworks were used as barter to pay the king's unpaid bills—as establishing a precedent for future deaccessions. He recounts, among other episodes, U.S. Civil War veterans who tried to reclaim their severed limbs from museum displays; the 1972 “Hoving affair,” when the Metropolitan Museum of Art sold a number of works to pay for a Velázquez portrait; and Brandeis University's decision (later reversed) to close its Rose Art Museum and sell its entire collection of contemporary art. An appendix provides the first extensive listing of notable deaccessions since the seventeenth century. Gammon ultimately argues that vibrant museums must evolve, embracing change, loss, and reinvention.
