The Relation between Imperialism and Nationalism in the German Empire and its Aftermath: A Bourdieusian Field Theoretical Perspective
Authors: Korhonen Juho 
Published: September 2018

AbstractIn this article I explore the relation between empire and nationalism in the late German Empire and its aftermath. I argue, from the perspective of Bourdieusian field theory and the political field, that the transformation of the relation between empire and nationalism was connected to colonial expansion that prompted political actors to formulate ‘imperial policies’ aimed at subverting dominant power. The rise of national self‐determination following the First World War (WWI) thwarted this development by confining the political field into a national framework and separating nationalism from empire. This was the emergence of what Bourdieu called national metacapital that has the capacity to regulate and define other forms of capital and their exchange in an ideal‐type nation‐state, in contrast to imperial symbolic capital that mediates and connects other forms of capital.

Published: September 2018

Different stance widths are commonly utilized when completing the barbell back squat during athletic general preparedness training. Width manipulation is thought to influence sagittal plane stimuli to the hip and knee extensors, the primary extensor musculature in the squat. However, how width manipulation affects frontal plane stimuli is less understood. Knowledge of hip and knee net joint moments (NJM) could improve exercise selection when aiming to improve sport‐specific performance and prevent injuries. Fourteen adult amateur rugby athletes were recruited for this study. After a familiarization period, participants performed wide‐ (WIDE, 1.5× greater trochanter width) and narrow‐stance (NARROW, 1× greater trochanter width) barbell back squats to femur parallel depth, using relative loads of 70% and 85% of one‐repetition maximum. Sagittal and frontal plane hip and knee kinetics and kinematics were compared between widths. A Bonferroni‐corrected alpha of 0.01 was employed as the threshold for statistical significance. Knee flexion angle was statistically greater in NARROW than WIDE (P < 0.0001,d = 2.56‐2.86); no statistical differences were observed for hip flexion angle between conditions (P = 0.049‐0.109,d = 0.33‐0.38). Hip‐to‐knee extension NJM ratios and knee adduction NJMs were statistically greater in WIDE than NARROW (P < 0.007,d = 0.51‐1.41). At femur parallel, stance width manipulation in the barbell back squat may provide substantial differences in biomechanical stimulus in both the sagittal plane and the frontal plane. In certain contexts, these differences may have clinically relevant longitudinal implications, from both a performance and a injury prevention standpoint, which are discussed.

AbstractSalmonellaDublin is an important cause of salmonellosis among dairy cattle and poses a considerable threat to public health. This serotype is increasingly being identified among bovineSalmonellaisolates from clinical samples in the north‐eastern United States, and these isolates are generally multidrug resistant. Our objective was to estimate the herd‐level prevalence ofSalmonellaDublin among dairy cattle herds throughout New York. Bulk tank milk samples from nearly all commercial dairy herds in New York were collected from milk quality testing laboratories during the first half of 2013. Antibody testing of bulk tank milk was performed using aSalmonellaDublin ELISA kit. Samples representing 4,896 commercial dairies were collected, and antibodies againstSalmonellaDublin were detected in 46 herds (0.9%; 95% CI, 0.7%–1.3%). Given the herd‐level sensitivity of ELISA testing forSalmonellaDublin in bulk tank milk at a single timepoint, this approach presumably underestimated the true prevalence. SomeSalmonellaDublin‐positive herds had both positive and negative bulk tanks at the same sampling time, indicating that herds with multiple tanks should test all of them when using this ELISA. Further research is needed to better understand the epidemiologic features ofSalmonellaDublin in the north‐eastern United States, including risk factors for introduction into dairy herds and principal transmission pathways.

Published: September 2018

Almost every manufacturing process is the major origin of wastewater with certain characteristic. Printing facility provides a wide range of waste component that is harmful to the environment and people. Those harmful waste component contains high concentration of heavy metals and dye. This paper presents one of the most promising methods to remove the heavy metals and dyes from a printing wastewater before discharging to the environment. The feasibility of commercially available NF270 membrane to treat both heavy metals and dye was thoroughly investigated. The study was carried out using a cross-flow nanofiltration membrane system at operating pressure and temperature set at 5 bar and 24 ˚C, respectively. Experimental results showed that the permeate flux of NF270 is decreased from 6.2 to 5.0 L/m2.h after 1-h operation. Whilst, the rejection of both iron and zinc ions could be obtained up to 96.9% and 97.8%, respectively. Additionally, almost complete elimination of colour (99.6%) could be achieved using NF270 membrane. Thus, it can be concluded that the commercial NF270 membrane is promising in removing both heavy metal ions and dye from printing wastewater.
Production of the triply charged leptons at the LHC
Authors: Liu Zhi-Cheng , Yue Chong-Xing , Zhao Zhen-Hua 
Published: September 2018

The neutrino masses can be ascribed to some operators of higher dimension than the Weinberg operator, so that the energy scale of underlying theory can be lowered to an accessible level for the ongoing or upcoming colliders. We hereby consider an interesting model in this connection where quintuplet fermions with hypercharge [Formula: see text]2 are introduced and therefore the neutrino masses are produced by dimension-11 operators. These exotic fermions can be pairly produced at the LHC via electroweak interactions and subsequently decay to multiple leptons. We simulate the relevant signal and backgrounds of the triply charged fermion in this model, and give the needed integrated luminosity to observe such a particle at the 13 TeV LHC.
Numerical studies of Thompson’s group F and related groups
Authors: Price Andrew Elvey , Guttmann Anthony J. 
Published: September 2018

We have developed polynomial-time algorithms to generate terms of the cogrowth series for groups [Formula: see text], the lamplighter group, [Formula: see text] and the Brin–Navas group [Formula: see text]. We have also given an improved algorithm for the coefficients of Thompson’s group [Formula: see text], giving 32 terms of the cogrowth series. We develop numerical techniques to extract the asymptotics of these various cogrowth series. We present improved rigorous lower bounds on the growth-rate of the cogrowth series for Thompson’s group F using the method from [S. Haagerup, U. Haagerup and M. Ramirez-Solano, A computational approach to the Thompson group F, Int. J. Alg. Comp. 25 (2015) 381–432] applied to our extended series. We also generalise their method by showing that it applies to loops on any locally finite graph. Unfortunately, lower bounds less than 16 do not help in determining amenability. Again for Thompson’s group F we prove that, if the group is amenable, there cannot be a sub-dominant stretched exponential term in the asymptotics. Yet the numerical data provides compelling evidence for the presence of such a term. This observation suggests a potential path to a proof of non-amenability: If the universality class of the cogrowth sequence can be determined rigorously, it will likely prove non-amenability. We estimate the asymptotics of the cogrowth coefficients of F to be [Formula: see text] where [Formula: see text], [Formula: see text], [Formula: see text], [Formula: see text], and [Formula: see text]. The growth constant [Formula: see text] must be 16 for amenability. These two approaches, plus a third based on extrapolating lower bounds, support the conjecture [M. Elder, A. Rechnitzer and E. J. Janse van Rensburg, Random sampling of trivial words in finitely presented groups, Expr. Math. 24 (2015) 391–409, S. Haagerup, U. Haagerup and M. Ramirez-Solano, A computational approach to the Thompson group F, Int. J. Alg. Comp. 25 (2015) 381–432] that the group is not amenable.

Published: September 2018

Abstract

Magmatic arcs associated with subduction zones are the dominant active locus of continental crust formation, and evolve in space and time towards magmatic compositions comparable to that of continental crust. Accordingly, the secular evolution of magmatic arcs is crucial to the understanding of crust formation processes. In this paper we present the first comprehensive U–Pb, Hf, Nd and Sr isotopic dataset documenting
c.
120 myr of magmatic evolution in the Kohistan-Ladakh paleo-island arc. We found a long-term magmatic evolution that is controlled by the overall geodynamic of the Neo-Tethys realm. Apart from the post-collisionnal melts, the intra-oceanic history of the arc shows two main episodes (150–80 Ma and 80–50 Ma) of distinct geochemical signatures involving the slab and the sub-arc mantle components that are intimately linked to the slab dynamics.

Background

Hypertension is highly prevalent during chronic kidney disease (
CKD
) and, in turn, worsens
CKD
prognosis. We aimed to describe the determinants of uncontrolled and resistant hypertension during
CKD
.

Methods and Results

We analyzed baseline data from patients with
CKD
stage 1 to 5 (NephroTest cohort) who underwent thorough renal explorations, including measurements of glomerular filtration rate (clearance of
51
Cr‐EDTA) and of extracellular water (volume of distribution of the tracer). Hypertension was defined as blood pressure (
BP
; average of 3 office measurements) ≥140/90 mm Hg or the use of antihypertensive drugs. In 2015 patients (mean age, 58.7±15.3 years; 67% men; mean glomerular filtration rate, 42±15 mL/min per 1.73 m
2
), prevalence of hypertension was 88%. Among hypertensive patients, 44% and 32% had uncontrolled (≥140/90 mm Hg) and resistant (uncontrolled
BP
despite 3 drugs, including a diuretic, or ≥4 drugs, including a diuretic, regardless of
BP
level) hypertension, respectively. In multivariable analysis, extracellular water, older age, higher albuminuria, diabetic nephropathy, and the absence of aldosterone blockers were independently associated with uncontrolled
BP
. Extracellular water, older age, lower glomerular filtration rate, higher albuminuria and body mass index, male sex, African origin, diabetes mellitus, and diabetic and glomerular nephropathies were associated with resistant hypertension.

Conclusions

In this large population of patients with
CKD
, a lower glomerular filtration rate, a higher body mass index, diabetic status, and African origin were associated with hypertension severity but not with
BP
control. Higher extracellular water, older age, and higher albuminuria were independent determinants of both resistant and uncontrolled hypertension during
CKD
. Our results advocate for the large use of diuretics in this population.
Performing Orders: Speech Acts, Facial Expressions and Gender Bias
Authors: Domaneschi Filippo , Passarelli Marcello , Andrighetto Luca 
Published: September 2018

AbstractThe business of a sentence is not only to describe some state of affairs but also to perform other kinds of speech acts like ordering, suggesting, asking, etc. Understanding the kind of action performed by a speaker who utters a sentence is a multimodal process which involves the computing of verbal and non-verbal information. This work aims at investigating if the understanding of a speech act is affected by the gender of the actor that produces the utterance in combination with a certain facial expression. Experimental data collected show that, as compared to men, women are less likely to be perceived as performers of orders and are more likely to be perceived as performers of questions. This result reveals a gender bias which reflects a process of women’s subordination according to which women are hardly considered as holding the hierarchical social position required for the correct execution of an order
Mixing Coefficient in Stably Stratified Flows
Authors: Kantha Lakshmi , Luce Hubert 
Published: September 2018

AbstractTurbulent mixing in the interior of the oceans is not as well understood as mixing in the oceanic boundary layers. Mixing in the generally stably stratified interior is primarily, although not exclusively, due to intermittent shear instabilities. Part of the energy extracted by the Reynolds stresses acting on the mean shear is expended in increasing the potential energy of the fluid column through a buoyancy flux, while most of it is dissipated. The mixing coefficient χm, the ratio of the buoyancy flux to the dissipation rate of turbulence kinetic energy ε, is an important parameter, since knowledge of χm enables turbulent diffusivities to be inferred. Theory indicates that χm must be a function of the gradient Richardson number. Yet, oceanic studies suggest that a value of around 0.2 for χm gives turbulent diffusivities that are in good agreement with those inferred from tracer studies. Studies by scientists working with atmospheric radars tend to reinforce these findings but are seldom referenced in oceanographic literature. The goal of this paper is to bring together oceanographic, atmospheric, and laboratory observations related to χm and to report on the values deduced from in situ data collected in the lower troposphere by unmanned aerial vehicles, equipped with turbulence sensors and flown in the vicinity of the Middle and Upper Atmosphere (MU) radar in Japan. These observations are consistent with past studies in the oceans, in that a value of around 0.16 for χm yields good agreement between ε derived from turbulent temperature fluctuations using this value and ε obtained directly from turbulence velocity fluctuations.
Social Preferences as an Individual Difference in Offender Decision-making
Authors: Jaynes Chae M. , Loughran Thomas A. 
Published: September 2018

Objectives: We examined the relationship between social preference game behavior and offender status and tested whether this relationship was attributed to genuine prosocial preferences or confounded by individual differences in future orientation, sensation seeking, and risk-taking. Methods: Offender and nonoffender samples played the dictator and ultimatum games. Ordered and generalized ordered logistic regression models were used to test the hypothesis that when compared to nonoffenders, offenders would demonstrate increased self-interest, while also considering competing theoretical mechanisms. Results: Offenders appeared to be more self-interested as indicated by smaller offers in the dictator game. This relationship, however, was attributed to differences in future orientation between the two groups rather than differences in social preferences. Net of demographic controls and competing theoretical mechanisms, however, offenders made smaller offers in the ultimatum game. We argue this finding revealed differences in strategic decision-making between the two groups. Conclusions: Results suggested that offenders were not distinguishable from nonoffenders by individual differences in social preferences. While nonoffenders made larger offers in both games, this finding was attributed to differences in temporal orientation and risk-taking rather than differences in prosocial preferences. This supported the rational choice assumption of self-interest and highlighted differences in strategic decision-making between offenders and nonoffenders.

AbstractBCOR, encoding BCL-6 corepressor (BCOR), is X-linked and targeted by somatic mutations in various hematological malignancies including myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS). We previously reported that mice lacking Bcor exon 4 (BcorΔE4/y) in the hematopoietic compartment developed NOTCH-dependent acute T-cell lymphoblastic leukemia (T-ALL). Here, we analyzed mice lacking Bcor exons 9 and 10 (BcorΔE9-10/y), which express a carboxyl-terminal truncated BCOR that fails to interact with core effector components of polycomb repressive complex 1.1. BcorΔE9-10/y mice developed lethal T-ALL in a similar manner to BcorΔE4/y mice, whereas BcorΔE9-10/y hematopoietic cells showed a growth advantage in the myeloid compartment that was further enhanced by the concurrent deletion of Tet2. Tet2Δ/ΔBcorΔE9-10/y mice developed lethal MDS with progressive anemia and leukocytopenia, inefficient hematopoiesis, and the morphological dysplasia of blood cells. Tet2Δ/ΔBcorΔE9-10/y MDS cells reproduced MDS or evolved into lethal MDS/myeloproliferative neoplasms in secondary recipients. Transcriptional profiling revealed the derepression of myeloid regulator genes of the Cebp family and Hoxa cluster genes in BcorΔE9-10/y progenitor cells and the activation of p53 target genes specifically in MDS erythroblasts where massive apoptosis occurred. Our results reveal a tumor suppressor function of BCOR in myeloid malignancies and highlight the impact of Bcor insufficiency on the initiation and progression of MDS.
A MICRO HISTÓRIA COMO APORTE TEÓRICO PARA OS ESTUDOS EM HISTÓRIA DA EDUCAÇÃO
Authors: Neto Alexandre Ribeiro 
Published: September 2018

Intencionamos com o nosso texto contribuir com a reflexão sobre a produção do conhecimento no campo da História da Educação, apresentando a micro-história como aporte teórico metodológico possível para a leitura, questionamento e elaboração de hipóteses sobre as sociedades do passado, a partir de pistas, vestígios e sinais. Uma das dificuldades que o pesquisador da Educação encontra é que as fontes documentais de pesquisas, em alguns casos, possuem lacunas devido a perdas e a diferentes arranjos das instituições de memória. Como construir um modelo explicativo respeitando a singularidade do seu objeto de pesquisa? A partir do Paradigma Indiciário, proposto por Ginzburg (1989), apresentamos uma possibilidade de reunir as peças do quebra-cabeça e descobrir a beleza do desenho. Nosso texto apresenta o diálogo entre a História e a História da Educação. Elegemos como interlocutores Vainfas (2002), autor do livro Micro história: os protagonistas anônimos da História. Um dos primeiros estudos sobre o tema em tela. Espada Lima (2006) contribuiu para o debate sobre metodologia da pesquisa ao escrever o livro - A micro-história italiana: escalas, indícios e singularidades. Ele nos permite, compreender a gênese do movimento e os estudos desenvolvidos pelos diferentes autores. Schueler e Sooma (2008) publicaram uma resenha do livro de Espada Lima na Revista de História da Educação da Sociedade Brasileira de História da Educação, rompendo as fronteiras da História, aproximando o livro dos pesquisadores da História da Educação. Na mesma direção caminharam Faria Filho e Simões (2012). Eles publicaram no livro Pensadores Sociais e História da Educação, volume dois, um capítulo dedicado ao cruzamento do pensamento de Carlo Ginzburg e a História da Educação. Como resultado, nosso trabalho apresenta o debate sobre a utilização da micro-história como aporte teórico metodológico, para a pensar as pesquisas em História da Educação. Pretendemos caminhar numa trilha aberta pelos autores citados anteriormente, pensando os objetos de pesquisa, a metodologia e o uso das fontes documentais, para que tenhamos estudos que revelem novos matizes e nuances das sociedades do passado.
INTERRELATION OF SPONDYLOMETRIC PARAMETERS WITH THE OUTCOME OF SURGICAL TREATMENT OF PATIENTS WITH DEGENERATIVE DISEASES OF THE LUMBOSACRAL JUNCTION
Authors: Byvaltsev V. A. , Pestryakov Yu. Ya. , Kalinin A. A. 
Published: September 2018

Objective. To evaluate the relationship between the radiological and neuroimaging parameters of the spinal motion segment and the clinical outcome of surgical treatment of patients with degenerative diseases of the lumbosacral junction to clarify the indications for dynamic and rigid stabilization.Material and Methods. The study included 267 patients with degenerative diseases of the lumbosacral spine. Depending on the stabilization method, patients were divided into two groups: Group I (n = 83) with dynamic intervertebral disc (IVD) prosthesis; and Group II (n = 184) with interbody fusion and transpedicular fixation. Long-term clinical parameters and biomechanical characteristics before and after surgery were analyzed.Results. A significant nonparametric correlation of the long-term result of surgical treatment assessed by VAS and Oswestry Disability Index with radiological parameters and results of neuroimaging was revealed. It was determined that the use of artificial IVD allows achieving a minimum level of pain syndrome and good functional recovery with effective preservation of the volume of physiological movements in the operated segment and restoration of the total angle of lumbar lordosis.Conclusion. Objective neuroimaging data (grade II-IV of degeneration according to the measured diffusion coefficient) and radiological parameters (linear displacement of vertebrae not more than 4 mm, sagittal volume of movements in the spinal motion segment less than 6°, decrease in the height of intervertebral disc space no more than 2/3 of the superjacent one) make possible using total arthroplasty. It is advisable to perform interbody fusion and rigid stabilization in grade IV-V of degeneration, linear displacement of vertebrae more than 4 mm, sagittal volume of movements of at least 6°, and decrease in the interbody space height over 2/3 of the superjacent one.
