Bufotoxin poisoning that showed the sign of acute digitalis overdose in the patient of Kyushin® intoxication
Authors: Cha Kyungman , So Byung Hak , Jeong Won Jung 
Published: October 2018

Introduction: Kyushin® is a widely used herbal medicine in East Asia for heart failure. Toad venom in present in Kyushin®, which has positive inotropic effect as digitoxin. Case presentation: An 81-year-old, female patient presented with decreased mental status after overdose of Kyushin®. The first electrocardiogram showed junctional tachycardia with 142/min, suddenly dropped to 27/min and followed by ventricular fibrillation. After one cycle of CPR, spontaneous circulation returned but junctional bradycardia, tachycardia, and ventricular fibrillation appeared. After six times of defibrillation, spontaneous circulation returned, and mechanical ventilator and transcutaneous pacing were applied. Plasma toxicology test revealed digitoxin 66.90 ng/mL by cloned enzyme donor immunoassay and digoxin 0.76 ng/mL by kinetic interaction of microparticles in solution immunoassay. After 8 h from presentation, the patient’s mental status came to be alert, and then transcutaneous pacing was removed. Discussion: Cloned enzyme donor immunoassay has been reported to be highly cross-reactive with digoxin-like substances, which strongly supports bufotoxin to be responsible for arrhythmia of the patient. Conclusion: Poisoning of bufotoxin in Kyushin® can cause cardiac arrhythmia, even arrest, but without digoxin-specific Fab, conventional therapy could be successful.

Published: October 2018

Abstract
An observed image is composed of multiple components based on optical phenomena, such as light reflection and scattering. Decomposing the observed image into individual components is an important process for various computer vision tasks. No general approach to combine them exists although many decomposition methods exist. This paper proposes a general approach to combine different decomposition methods in a linear algebraic manner called multiple-weighted measurements.
Experimental results show that the proposed approach decomposes observed images into four optical components based on diffuse and specular reflection and single and multiple scattering. The decomposed components are applied to material segmentation as an application.

Purpose BRAFV600 mutations are frequently found in several glioma subtypes, including pleomorphic xanthoastrocytoma (PXA) and ganglioglioma and much less commonly in glioblastoma. We sought to determine the activity of vemurafenib, a selective inhibitor of BRAFV600, in patients with gliomas that harbor this mutation. Patients and Methods The VE-BASKET study was an open-label, nonrandomized, multicohort study for BRAFV600-mutant nonmelanoma cancers. Patients with BRAFV600-mutant glioma received vemurafenib 960 mg twice per day continuously until disease progression, withdrawal, or intolerable adverse effects. Key end points included confirmed objective response rate by RECIST version 1.1, progression-free survival, overall survival, and safety. Results Twenty-four patients (median age, 32 years; 18 female and six male patients) with glioma, including malignant diffuse glioma (n = 11; six glioblastoma and five anaplastic astrocytoma), PXA (n = 7), anaplastic ganglioglioma (n = 3), pilocytic astrocytoma (n = 2), and high-grade glioma, not otherwise specified (n = 1), were treated. Confirmed objective response rate was 25% (95% CI, 10% to 47%) and median progression-free survival was 5.5 months (95% CI, 3.7 to 9.6 months). In malignant diffuse glioma, best response included one partial response and five patients with stable disease, two of whom had disease stabilization that lasted more than 1 year. In PXA, best response included one complete response, two partial responses, and three patients with stable disease. Additional partial responses were observed in patients with pilocytic astrocytoma and anaplastic ganglioglioma (one each). The safety profile of vemurafenib was generally consistent with that of previously published studies. Conclusion Vemurafenib demonstrated evidence of durable antitumor activity in some patients with BRAFV600-mutant gliomas, although efficacy seemed to vary qualitatively by histologic subtype. Additional study is needed to determine the optimal use of vemurafenib in patients with primary brain tumors and to identify the mechanisms driving differential responses across histologic subsets.

Tableaux Vivants, Early Cinema, and Beauty-as-Attraction
Authors: Wiegand Daniel 
Published: October 2018

AbstractThis article offers a case study in intermediality and explores relationships between tableaux vivants performances and early cinema around 1900. It locates processes of intermedial exchange not only at the level of form but also at the level of modes of address and reception. More specifically, the study is concerned with how bourgeois notions of beauty were transferred to the film image and reconciled with the attraction value of cinema. As a discussion of early film theory reveals, the concept of “beauty in film” depended on a taming of filmic motion, something that had already been realized in performance practices of tableaux vivants. In the subsequent analysis of the cultural context of tableaux vivants in European variety theatres, I outline a specific mode of address, which I term “beauty-as-attraction:” an overlap of the older aesthetics of the beautiful and the more modern aesthetics of attraction. Through concluding film analysis, I show how tableaux vivants became a model and source of inspiration for early cinema, thus bringing to fruition the two-fold address of beauty-as-attraction in a new media context.
An Uncanny Cinema, a Cinema of the Uncanny. The Trope of the Doll in the Films of Manoel de Oliveira
Authors: Király Hajnal 
Published: October 2018

AbstractI argue that the trope of the doll, recurrent throughout the films of Manoel de Oliveira, is a visual figure that beyond narrative becomes a discourse on modernity and modernism, stillness and movement, life and death. Accordingly, I propose an overview of occurences of dolls and of “dollness” throughout the work of Oliveira – fromAniki Bobó(1942) toThe Strange Case of Angelica(2010) – with the aim of tracking the line of transformations of an emblematic object into an aesthetic principle, a central figure involving psychoanalytical concepts such as the Freudian “uncanny,” the fetish or the transitional object.
”Let Man Remain Dead:” The Posthuman Ecology of Tale of Tales
Authors: Sticchi Francesco 
Published: October 2018

Abstract
In this essay I analyse Matteo Garrone’s Tale of Tales (2015) within the perspective of embodied cognition. I consider film experience as an affective-conceptual phenomenon based on the viewer’s embodiment of the visual structures. Baruch Spinoza stands at the foundation of my analytical approach since his thought was based on the absolute parallelism between the body and the mind. This paradigm redefines anthropocentrism and rejects dualism; however, the criticism of the rationalist ideal is also one of the main characteristics of the film Tale of Tales: by staging baroque and excessive characters, it allows the viewer to embody a notion of subjectivity that is performative and relational. Therefore, by combining the cognitive analysis of the film with my theoretical framework I will present a radical criticism of abstract rationality and present an ecological idea of the human.
Roy Andersson’s Tableau Aesthetic: A Cinematic Social Space Between Painting and Theatre
Authors: Chinita Fátima 
Published: October 2018

Abstract
The article examines three films by Roy Andersson, Songs from the Second Floor (Sånger från andra våningen, 2000), You, the Living (Du levande, 2007), and A Pigeon Sat on a Branch Reflecting on Existence (En duva satt på en gren och funderade på tillvaron, 2014). The Swedish director depicts the human condition afflicted by the loss of its humanity through a personal style that he calls “the complex image,” a tableau aesthetic that instigates social criticism, and is dependent upon long shots, immobility, unchanging shot scale, and layered compositions. The author establishes a connection between artistic and social space and scrutinizes the challenges that this “complexity” poses for the film viewer from an intermedial perspective in which cinema enters into a dialogue with two other art forms: painting and theatre. Four specific issues are discussed: (1) the intertwining of reality and artificiality as a “hyperreality;” (2) the visual compositions which are simultaneously self-contained and entirely open, highlighting a tension between volume and surface; (3) the opposition between stasis and movement, conveying a meaningful social contrast and the characters’ angst; (4) the pictoriality of the image.
Gestural Intermediality in Jean-Luc Godard’s First Name: Carmen (1983)
Authors: Giraud François 
Published: October 2018

Abstract
Although the intermediality of Jean-Luc Godard’s films of the 1980s has been extensively analysed, especially the tableaux vivants in Passion (1982), little has been said on the intermedial dimension of gesture in the director’s work of this period. The article investigates how the gestural flows in Godard’s First Name: Carmen (Prénom Carmen, 1983) interrelate heterogeneous forms, meanings, arts, and media. The interconnection between the gestures of the musicians who are rehearsing Beethoven’s late string quartets and the lovers’ gestures, inspired by Rodin’s sculptures, gives cohesion to the hybrid aesthetics of the film. Gesture is the element which incorporates, develops, and sets in motion the features of the other arts, not only by creating an in-between space that forges links between media, but especially by exhibiting the process of making itself. Indeed, the relationship between the performing, musical, and visual arts is made visible in the exhibition of the corporeal effort of making (whether it be making music, film, or love) that tends to open the boundaries separating the different arts. The aural and visual qualities of gestures communicate between themselves, generating rhythms and forms that circulate in the continuous flow of moving images. By fostering the analogy between the gesture of carving, of performing music, and of making film, Godard highlights what unites the arts in cinema, while feeding on their differences.
Modal–Cotton Fibre Blend Ratio and Ring Frame Parameter Optimisation Through the Taguchi Method
Authors: Maheswaran R , Srinivasan V 
Published: October 2018

Abstract
The influence of Modal–cotton (MC) fibre blend ratio and ring frame machine parameters such as front top roller loading and break draft on the blended yarn properties has been studied. Compact MC blended yarn samples of 14.75 tex with three different MC fibre blend ratio has been produced in a LR 6 ring spinning frame fitted with Suessen Compact drafting system. A robust design optimisation to minimise the variations of the output yarn properties such as blended yarn tenacity, yarn unevenness and hairiness caused because of the variations in the material as well as machine setting parameters is achieved through the Taguchi parametric design approach. It is found that the maximum compact MC blended yarn tenacity is 23.76 g/tex, which is influenced very much by MC fibre blend ratio but meagrely by top roller loading and break draft. Similarly, the minimum 9.54 U% and 3.59 hairiness index are achieved with 100:0 and 70:30 MC fibre blend ratio, respectively, at 23-kg top roller loading. Statistical ANOVA analysis is performed on the results and optimum values are obtained within the 95% confidential level through confirmation experiments.
The Precautionary Saving Effect of Government Consumption
Authors: Ercolani Valerio , Pavoni Nicola 
Published: October 2018

Abstract
We study a largely neglected channel through which government expenditures can boost private consumption. We set up a dynamic model in which households are subject to health shocks. We take the model to the data and estimate a negative impact of public health care on household consumption dispersion, wealth and saving. According to our model, this result is explained by a change in the level of precautionary saving, with public health care acting as a form of consumption insurance. We compute the implied consumption multipliers by simulating the typical government consumption shock within a calibrated general equilibrium version of our model, with flexible prices. The impact consumption multiplier generated by the decrease in the level of precautionary saving is positive and sizable. When we include the effect of taxation, the sign of the impact multiplier depends on a few features of the model, such as the persistence of the health shocks. The long-run cumulative multiplier is negative across all calibrations.
Models in Systems Medicine
Authors: Williamson Jon 
Published: October 2018

AbstractSystems medicine is a promising new paradigm for discovering associations, causal relationships and mechanisms in medicine. But it faces some tough challenges that arise from the use of big data: in particular, the problem of how to integrate evidence and the problem of how to structure the development of models. I argue that objective Bayesian models offer one way of tackling the evidence integration problem. I also offer a general methodology for structuring the development of models, within which the objective Bayesian approach fits rather naturally.
What is the Problem with Model-based Explanation in Economics?
Authors: Marchionni Caterina 
Published: October 2018

Abstract
The question of whether the idealized models of theoretical economics are explanatory has been the subject of intense philosophical debate. It is sometimes presupposed that either a model provides the actual explanation or it does not provide an explanation at all. Yet, two sets of issues are relevant to the evaluation of model-based explanation: what conditions should a model satisfy in order to count as explanatory and does the model satisfy those conditions. My aim in this paper is to unpack this distinction and show that separating the first set of issues from the second is crucial to an accurate diagnosis of the distinctive challenges that economic models pose. Along the way I sketch a view of model-based explanation in economics that focuses on the role that non-empirical and empirical strategies play in increasing confidence in the adequacy of a given model-based explanation.
Generics in Mainland Scandinavian languages
Authors: Skrzypek Dominika , Kurek Anna 
Published: October 2018

Abstract
The paper examines nominal expressions of genericity as found in generic texts (ornithological atlases) in Mainland Scandinavian languages. The material is subdivided into first mentions and subsequent mentions and these are reported separately. Subsequent mentions can be said to be subject to conflicting principles – on the one hand they are generic, on the other anaphoric. The results show that all three languages prefer singular definite NPs to express first mention genericity, however, significant differences are found in subsequent mentions.
Infinite families of equivariantly formal toric orbifolds
Authors: Bahri Anthony , Sarkar Soumen , Song Jongbaek 
Published: October 2018

Abstract
The simplicial wedge construction on simplicial complexes and simple polytopes has been used by a variety of authors to study toric and related spaces, including non-singular toric varieties, toric manifolds, intersections of quadrics and more generally, polyhedral products.
In this paper we extend the analysis to include toric orbifolds.
Our main results yield infinite families of toric orbifolds, derived from a given one, whose integral cohomology is free of torsion and is concentrated in even degrees, a property which might be termed integrally equivariantly formal.
In all cases, it is possible to give a description of the cohomology ring and to relate it to the cohomology of the original orbifold.
Moisture-induced deformation in the neck of a classical guitar
Authors: Stanciu Mariana Domnica , Bucur Voichița , Munteanu Violeta Mihaela , Georgescu Sergiu Valeriu , Năstac Silviu Marian 
Published: October 2018

AbstractClassical guitar necks were submitted to 40, 65 and 80% relative humidity (RH) during time periods ranging from 24 h to several months, and moisture-induced deformations were observed. Different types of classical guitar necks were investigated in terms of structure and reinforcement. The influences of the wood species and the neck reinforcements on the moisture content (MC)-induced deformation were in focus. First, before humidity exposure in the climatic chamber, the relative positions of three points marked on each sample were measured with a control ruler and noted. After exposure, the displacement of the reference points on the samples were verified periodically. The differences between the measurements in different stages and reference positions were calculated, resulting in relative displacement data of the measured points. During the experiments, the MC of the sample was monitored by weighing. The variation of RH leads to dimensional instability and moisture-induced stresses of the guitar necks, which affect the acoustic quality of a guitar. Steel enforcement of the guitar neck improves this situation.
