579. Lo colonial como fuente de autenticidad de los Centros Históricos de las ciudades mexicanas. El doble colonialismo
Authors: Flores Rodríguez Carlos Enrique , Ramos Delgado Raymundo 
Published: June 2019

Bajo distintas concepciones y categorías, las originarias trazas y arquitectura de las ciudades empiezan a ser preocupación principalmente después de la segunda guerra mundial. Desde entonces, y ante una creciente industria de turismo global, la ciudad se ha convertido en un objeto de consumo de masas y de inversión inmobiliaria a la que se le ha exigido, para ser digerible, una definición y una caracterización. Aunque en México desde la década del treinta del siglo pasado ya hay breves intentos, la instauración de políticas e instrumentos para su conservación inicia cuatro décadas después. En esta búsqueda se desplegaron diversos posicionamientos. El máscontradictorio, sin embargo, se resumiría en aquel en donde las instituciones encargadas adoptaron un papel más allá de lo protagónico que, en algunos casos, desembocó en la sustitución de los saberes y voluntades de la sociedad. Tomando como objeto a la histórica ciudad virreinal de Tepic Nayarit, desde un enfoque historicista hermenéutico, en el presente trabajose describe y se reflexiona en las consecuencias de su sujeción a un modelo ingenuo de provincia mexicana, así como las posibles implicaciones que esta imposición genera en el natural desenvolvimiento de la imagen urbano-arquitectónica de esta ciudad media del occidente mexicano.
Perayaan Obon (Obon-Matsuri) di Jepang
Authors: Wiyatasari Reny 
Published: June 2019

The purpose of this study is to describe the Obon celebration (Obon-matsuri) by Japanese society today. The data used are several literature on Obon and interviews with several informants, namely Japanese people who have or still do the Obon-matsuri ritual. The research method used is a qualitative-descriptive. Data collection with library studies, observations, and interviews to explore deeply about the experiences of informants related to Obon in the past and present. In analyzing data, researchers used the qualitative data analysis techniques. The results of this study are indicate that the differences in Obon celebrations today with the previous period are: 1) Fewer Japanese people, especially those living in cities, celebrate Obon. Obon as an opportunity for Japanese people to visit their parents/ grandparents or main family, and together with them celebrating Obon becomes increasingly rare or difficult to do; 2) As fewer Japanese people celebrate Obon with their main families, the activities of performing Obon rituals are increasingly rare. Meanwhile, two things that are still maintained from the past to the Obon celebration are: 1) Japanese society is still regularly doing ohakamairi, and 2) Obon is still interpreted and believed that during these days the spirits of ancestors return to their former homes.
Censored symmetric Lévy-type processes
Authors: Wagner Vanja 
Published: June 2019

Abstract
We examine three equivalent constructions of a censored symmetric purely discontinuous Lévy process on an open set D; via the corresponding Dirichlet form, through the Feynman–Kac transform of the Lévy process killed outside of D and from the same killed process by the Ikeda–Nagasawa–Watanabe piecing together procedure. By applying the trace theorem on n-sets for Besov-type spaces of generalized smoothness associated with complete Bernstein functions satisfying certain scaling conditions, we analyze the boundary behavior of the corresponding censored Lévy process and determine conditions under which the process approaches the boundary

in finite time. Furthermore, we prove a stronger version of the 3G inequality and its generalized version for Green functions of purely discontinuous Lévy processes on κ-fat open sets. Using this result, we obtain the scale invariant Harnack inequality for the corresponding censored process.

The neuroimmunological synapse: from synaptic homeostasis to brain disease
Authors: Lenz Maximilian , Vlachos Andreas 
Published: June 2019

Zusammenfassung
Mikroglia sind Zellen des angeborenen Immunsystems im zentralen Nervensystem, die eine bedeutende Rolle bei entzündlichen Veränderungen im Nervengewebe spielen. Ursprünglich galt die Annahme, dass Mikrogliazellen ihre Funktion erst nach Aktivierung durch pathologische Stimuli aufnehmen. Neuere Studien deuten darauf hin, dass Mikroglia physiologische Funktionen bei neuronalen Entwicklungsprozessen oder synaptischen Anpassungsreaktionen hat. Basierend auf dem Konzept, dass die Freisetzung mikroglialer Faktoren synaptische Eigenschaften tripartiter Synapsen (Präsynapse, Postsynapse, Astrozyt) beeinflussen kann, wurde der Begriff der neuroimmunologischen Synapse geprägt. Unter Bedingungen, bei denen der Aktivitätszustand der Mikroglia durch endogene oder exogene pathologische Stimuli verändert wird, kann dadurch das physiologische Zusammenspiel von Mikroglia, Astrozyten und Nervenzellen an Synapsen gestört sein, wodurch krankhafte Prozesse im zentralen Nervensystem angestoßen, befördert oder erhalten werden können.
Influence of Temperature on BOTDR Used to Monitor Stabilizing Piles

Published: June 2019

Abstract
Distributed optical fiber sensors based on Brillouin scattering are emerging as valid alternatives for monitoring the health of civil structures and applications in geological engineering. The measurements are made by establishing a correlation between fiber strain and temperature in the frequency shift of Brillouin backscattered light induced by a monochromatic light pulse. The monitored strain consists of two parts: stress strain and temperature strain. This article presents an application of Brillouin optical time domain reflectometry in measuring stabilizing pile deformation over time. In the process of pile construction, the hydration heat of cement raises the temperature of the pile, thus causing errors in pile strain monitoring. So, the effect of temperature on strain should be considered. A finite element model built on the basis of monitoring objects and their geological environment is proposed to eliminate the influence of hydration heat on pile strain. The results indicated that the changed temperature resulting from hydration takes approximately three months to reach the same level as the ground temperature, in agreement with the monitoring results. The magnitude of the relative strain caused by hydration temperature was on the order of 10−4 microns and should be considered in the three-month monitoring data after the construction of piles. Factors that may affect calculation accuracy are discussed on the basis of the experimental and numerical results.
Fly Ash and Sinking Beads Modification on the Rheological Properties of Cement Paste with Metakaolin
Authors: Wang Yunyao , Shui Zhonghe , Huang Yun 
Published: June 2019

Abstract
The aim of this study was to investigate the respective effect of sinking beads (SBs) and fly ash (FA) on the rheological properties of metakaolin (MK)-blended pastes and to uncover the relevant mechanisms from the aspects of morphology and electrochemistry. The yield stress, plastic viscosity, and slump diameter of cement pastes were studied, as well as the zeta potential of the diluted cement pastes. The results show that SB can much more remarkably improve the rheology of MK-blended cement pastes than FA, and ensures 5 wt.% MK-blended cement paste a competitive flowability with plain paste. The synergistic effects of morphological and electrochemical modification on cement paste result in the different modification efficiency of FA and SB on blended pastes.
Chromatin Modifiers Alter Recombination Between Divergent DNA Sequences
Authors: Chakraborty Ujani , Mackenroth Beata , Shalloway David , Alani Eric 
Published: June 2019

Abstract
Recombination between divergent DNA sequences is actively prevented by heteroduplex rejection mechanisms. In baker’s yeast, such antirecombination mechanisms can be initiated by the recognition of DNA mismatches in heteroduplex DNA by MSH proteins, followed by recruitment of the Sgs1-Top3-Rmi1 helicase–topoisomerase complex to unwind the recombination intermediate. We previously showed that the repair/rejection decision during single-strand annealing recombination is temporally regulated by MSH (MutS homolog) protein levels and by factors that excise nonhomologous single-stranded tails. These observations, coupled with recent studies indicating that mismatch repair (MMR) factors interact with components of the histone chaperone machinery, encouraged us to explore roles for epigenetic factors and chromatin conformation in regulating the decision to reject vs. repair recombination between divergent DNA substrates. This work involved the use of an inverted repeat recombination assay thought to measure sister chromatid repair during DNA replication. Our observations are consistent with the histone chaperones CAF-1 and Rtt106, and the histone deacetylase Sir2, acting to suppress heteroduplex rejection and the Rpd3, Hst3, and Hst4 deacetylases acting to promote heteroduplex rejection. These observations, and double-mutant analysis, have led to a model in which nucleosomes located at DNA lesions stabilize recombination intermediates and compete with MMR factors that mediate heteroduplex rejection.

Teaching for transfer between first and foreign language classroom contexts
Authors: Forbes Karen 
Published: June 2019

Writing is a skill which is actively taught in both first (L1) and foreign language (FL) classrooms, yet surprisingly few cross-curricular links are made. This paper, aimed at both practitioners and researchers, presents a framework for designing and implementing a strategy-based, cross-curricular approach to writing pedagogy in schools. It first considers the factors which should be taken into account when designing such an intervention in both L1 and FL classrooms. It then outlines the key steps in the implementation of such a programme of strategy-based instruction. To exemplify this, the paper reports on data throughout from an empirical study involving a classroom intervention of explicit strategy-based instruction which was delivered first in the German FL classroom, and later also in the English classroom of a Year 9 (age 13–14) class in a secondary school in England. The aim was to help students to develop their writing strategies and to encourage transfer between languages. Findings suggest that while a programme of strategy-based instruction can improve strategy use and attainment in writing within a particular language context, effects are most powerful when there is collaboration between L1 and FL teachers. Evidence therefore calls for a multilingual approach to writing pedagogy. <a rel="license" href="http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/"><img alt="Creative Commons Licence" style="border-width:0" src="https://i.creativecommons.org/l/by/4.0/80x15.png" /></a><br />This work is licensed under a <a rel="license" href="http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/">Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International License</a>.

Published: June 2019

Abstract

Background
The Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group Performance Status (ECOG-PS) scale is commonly used by physicians and nurses in oncology, as it correlates with cancer morbidity, mortality, and complications from chemotherapy and can help direct clinical decisions and prognostication. This retrospective cohort study aimed to identify whether ECOG-PS scores rated by oncologist versus nurses differ in their ability to predict clinical outcomes.

Materials and Methods
Over 19 months, 32 oncologists and 41 chemotherapy nurses from a single academic comprehensive cancer center independently scored ECOG-PS (range: 0–5) for a random sample of 311 patients with cancer receiving chemotherapy. Logistic regression models were fit to evaluate the ability of nurse and physician ECOG-PS scores, as well as the nurse-physician ECOG-PS score difference (nurse minus physician), to predict the occurrence of chemotherapy toxicity (CTCAE v4, grade ≥3) and hospitalizations within 1 month from ECOG-PS ratings, as well as 6-month mortality or hospice referrals.

Results
Physician/nurse ECOG-PS agreement was 71% (Cohen's κ = 0.486, p &lt; .0001). Nurse ECOG-PS scores had stronger odds ratio for 6-month mortality or hospice (odds ratio [OR], 3.29, p &lt; .0001) than physician ECOG-PS scores (OR, 2.71, p = .001). Furthermore, ECOG-PS ratings by nurses, but not physicians, correlated with 1-month chemotherapy toxicity (OR, 1.44, p = .021) and 1-month hospitalizations (OR, 1.57, p = .041). Nurse-physician disagreement, but only when physicians gave “healthier” (lower) ratings, was also associated with worse outcomes (chemotherapy toxicity OR = 1.51, p = .045; 1-month hospitalization OR, 1.86, p = .037; 6-month mortality or hospice OR, 2.99, p &lt; .0001).

Conclusion
Nurse ECOG-PS ratings seem more predictive of important outcomes than those of physicians, and physician-nurse disagreement in ECOG-PS ratings predicts worse outcomes; scoring by nurses may result in additional clinical benefit.

Implications for Practice
Nurse-rated Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group Performance Status (ECOG-PS) scores, compared with those rated by oncologists, better predicted hospitalizations and severe chemotherapy toxicity within 1 month from ECOG-PS assessment, as well as mortality or hospice referrals within 6 months. Physician-nurse disagreement in ECOG-PS scoring was associated with worse hospitalization, chemotherapy toxicity, and mortality and hospice referral rates. Rating performance statuses of patients with cancer by nurses instead or in addition to oncologists can result in additional clinical benefits, such as improved prognostication, as well as better informed clinical decision making regarding whether or not to administer chemotherapy, the need for additional supportive care, and goals of care discussions.
COHEN’S CLASS TIME-FREQUENCY DISTRIBUTIONS FOR MEASUREMENT SIGNALS AS A MEANS OF MONITORING TECHNOLOGICAL PROCESSES
Authors: Fedosenkov D. B. , Simikova A. A. , Kulakov S. M. , Fedosenkov B. A. 
Published: June 2019

The article presents and describes Cohen’s class time-frequency distributions which are expedient to use as a mathematical tool that allows to create a convenient – in terms of information content and semantic clarity – visual-graphical representation of the opera ting modes of various technological processes including processes of ferrous metallurgy. It was noted that a controlling process is usually implemented without simultaneous visual monitoring of each scalar (one-dimensional) coordinate that is under control, but the presence of such monitoring is an important condition for the computer-aided controlling of the dynamics of non-stationary technological processes. To eliminate this drawback, it was proposed to perform synchronous monitoring using the multidimensional Cohen’s class time-frequency distributions, when each measurement scalar signal is specifically represented through one of these distributions, for example, the Wigner-Ville distribution. An expression is given for the generalized distribution of Cohen’s class with a distribution kernel and an ambiguity function. This function allows receiving distributions of various types from the maternal function. The most typical representatives of time-frequency distributions forming this class are given with their available kernels. The possibility of appearance of interference elements, which make it difficult to identify the controlled modes, on a signal distribution map is proved. Case of the formation of virtual elements within the Wigner-Ville distribution representing a two-component one-dimensional signal is considered. Te conditions are explained for the emergence of parasitic elements on the distribution map, obtained, for example, during realizing the process of multi-component feeding the bulk blast furnace charge materials in the production of sintering mixture. An analytical expression is obtained for the Wigner distribution, which displays a multi-component scalar signal and contains the information (useful) and virtual (parasitic) parts of the time-frequency distribution. A link between the number of bulk material feeders available in the feeding devices unit and the number of parasitic (virtual) elements in the Wigner distribution was determined. Using the dosing process as an example, the eﬀect of the noise components propagation in the Wigner distribution is demonstrated. An example is given to illustrate the penetration of noise into the Wigner distribution and appearance of the virtual concentration in it when displaying a signal waveform with a noisy pause and two sections with diﬀerent frequencies. An expression for the Wigner distribution in the form of a comb function is obtained. The conclusion was made about the parameters of the distribution periodicity and the required sampling frequency of measurement signals.

Published: June 2019

Background. Estimation of the parameters of arterial stiffness allows one to make conclusions about the development of CVD long before clinical manifestations of the target organ damage. The determination of the pulse wave velocity (PWV) is the «gold standard» for the arterial wall stiffness assessment. The oscillometric method of PWV measurement has a number of advantages (convenience and high speed) over the most common «two-point» techniques.
Objective. The purpose of this work was to adapt the PWV measurement using the oscillometric method for screening outpatient examinations. Using a BPLab Vasotens diagnostic oscillometric system (Russia), PWV was measured in 152 patients, and a formula was obtained for recalculating PWV values in the supine position on the basis of PWV values in the sitting position.
Methods. Using a BPLab Vasotens diagnostic system, PWV was measured in 152 patients, and a formula was derived for recalculating PWV values in the supine position on the basis of PWV values in the sitting position.
Results. Measuring aortal PWV in the sitting position gave an opportunity of a simultaneous study of the central and peripheral BP parameters and the arterial wall stiffness. The obtained data may be used during patients’ screening in the outpatient setting.
Conclusion. The use of the screening procedure for the PWV measurement in the outpatient practice will allow concluding on the CVD development long before clinical manifestations of the target organs damage and will rid the patient of a possibility of a wrong estimation of their cardiovascular risk.
THE ROLE OF ISLAMIC BANKING IN AGRICULTURE FINANCING (CASE STUDY OF INDONESIAN AGRICULTURE SECTOR)
Authors: Utama Satria , Suwarsi Aqidah Asri , . Listiono 
Published: June 2019

Purpose: This paper aims to analyze the role of Islamic banking in improving the agricultural sector as well as providing alternative solutions such as financing scheme for agricultural financing.
Methodology: The research method is qualitative. A review of the extant literature was carried out for collecting primary and secondary data. In-depth interviews with key informants such the farmer and Islamic bank financing manager were also conducted. Data analysis was performed by adopting data reduction, data display with SWOT matrix, verification, and conclusion.
Main findings: This paper finds that Islamic banking allocates financing for agricultural sector which is less than 10 percent of total financing. The finding is in line with the problem faced by the farmer. Based on the interview, it is known that the main problem of agriculture industry is limited access to the source of capital. The second finding pertains to the lack of Islamic banking’s role in agricultural financing caused by high risk perception and minimum competence of human resources to maintain the agricultural financing.
Applications: This paper suggests the implementation of Ba'I As Salam scheme as an alternative for agricultural financing. Salam Financing Scheme is more suitable for agricultural financing than the murabaha financing that are commonly used today. Because the salam financing scheme intends to finance the sale and purchase of new commodities that are to be processed or produced and the delivery of their goods in the future, as well as allow for irregular payment schemes made in the harvest. Some of these advantages can be agricultural financing solution that is more in line with the characteristics of agricultural sector cash flow.
Novelty/Originality of this study: Previous Studies related to the agricultural sector only deals with the impact of agricultural finance without offering low cost financing models as the solution to the main problem in the agricultural sector. This study provides solutions to these problems.
