The Implications of Visibility on the Use of Strategic Inventory in a Supply Chain
Authors: Roy Abhishek , Gilbert Stephen M. , Lai Guoming 
Published: July 2018

It is now widely accepted that a retailer’s use of strategic inventory can mitigate double marginalization and improve the coordination of a supply chain, potentially benefiting both the downstream retailer and an upstream manufacturer. However, this conclusion has typically been based on the assumption that the manufacturer can observe the retailer’s level of inventory before making wholesale pricing decisions. In reality, there are many situations in which neither the retailer’s sales nor inventory are observable to the manufacturer, effectively concealing the action taken by the retailer. We investigate the implications of such a lack of observability on the use of strategic inventory in a supply chain consisting of a single retailer and a single manufacturer. We find that the manufacturer’s inability to observe inventory has significant implications for the amount of inventory and the range of holding cost for which it is held in equilibrium. In addition, we find that, in the absence of any form of uncertainty, which the manufacturer could benefit from responding to, he may prefer not to observe the retailer’s inventory. On the other hand, the retailer’s willingness to make her inventory visible depends on the holding cost. The electronic companion is available at https://doi.org/10.1287/mnsc.2018.3033 .

A experiência de mundo de uma surda ao aprender LIBRAS: uma abordagem fenomenológico-existencial
Authors: Thomaz Amanda Galerani , Freitas Joanneliese De Lucas 
Published: July 2018

Frequentemente os diferentes discursos sobre a experiência da surdez partem da perspectiva dos ouvintes, tornando opaca essa vivência tão particular. Esse trabalho pretendeu se aproximar da experiência de se viver no mundo cultural sem a apropriação de uma língua sistematizada. Para tanto, foi realizado um estudo de caso sobre uma surda que aprendeu a Língua Brasileira de Sinais (LIBRAS) já adulta. A coleta de dados deu-se por meio de uma entrevista aberta, mediada por um intérprete voluntário de LIBRAS. A análise da entrevista foi orientada pelo método fenomenológico de investigação de Giorgi e os dados interpretados a partir da perspectiva de Merleau-Ponty. Os resultados foram divididos em dois grupos temáticos: O mundo sem sentido: vazio e solidão e O despertar aos sentidos: "uma nova vida". As vivências anteriores ao domínio de uma língua sistematizada foram descritas como incompreensíveis e vazias, permeadas por dissociações e experiências esparsas. Ao aprender LIBRAS, a entrevistada relata uma mudança brusca na forma como se relacionava com o mundo, começando a perceber sentidos e gestos compartilhados culturalmente. Sugere-se estudos mais aprofundados que investiguem o sensível e a corporeidade na experiência das pessoas surdas. Destaca-se a importância da apropriação da língua sistematizada.
Deus está morto. Viva o autômato!
Authors: Weinmann Amadeu De Oliveira , Medeiros Roberto Henrique Amorim de , Mano Gustavo Caetano de Mattos 
Published: July 2018

O artigo propõe-se a pensar algo do pathos da Modernidade – a paixão pelo autômato –, à luz do conceito nietzschiano Morte de Deus. Nesse sentido, toma como matéria de análise dois clássicos do cinema de ficção científica: 2001: uma odisseia no espaço, de Stanley Kubrick, e Blade runner, de Ridley Scott. Se a paixão pelo autômato consiste em uma forma do sujeito moderno denegar a finitude, nos filmes em debate tal condição é elaborada de um modo muito singular. 2001 e Blade runner oferecem ao espectador a possibilidade de resistir à assunção dessa inclinação da subjetividade moderna. Em 2001, o autômato é demasiado humano e uma narrativa trágica promove outro modo de enfrentar a finitude. Em Blade runner, o autômato é o portador das angústias fundamentais do sujeito moderno – origem e finitude – e a identificação a ele permite ao espectador ir além do homem.

Abstract
This article provides a brief aesthetic history of Central American cinema, outlining the impact of limited resources, sociopolitical conflicts and global aesthetic trends on regional film production. Focusing on films produced in the late 1990s and the early 2000s, it analyses how contemporary Central American films have overcome economic and material limitations and generated films that obtained acclaim in regional and international circuits. It also analyses the impact of international film festivals on Central American film production, focusing on the work of the Central American, yet also transnational, directors Julio Hernández Cordón and Tatiana Huezo.
Symptoms of a civil war: Affect, disease and urban violence in Arturo Menéndez’s Malacrianza/The Crow’s Nest (2014)
Authors: Caña Jiménez María del Carmen 
Published: July 2018

Abstract
Arturo Menéndez’s award-winning Malacrianza/The Crow’s Nest (2014) chronicles the tribulations of Don Cleo, a poor piñata salesman suffering from mental and physical ailments. Cleo’s life is turned upside down when he receives an extortion letter asking for US$500 in exchange for his life. This article examines Malacrianza’s linkage between the protagonist’s body and his ailments and the broader sociopolitical matrix. I argue that the symptoms he demonstrates are manifestations of the impact of civil war and urban violence upon the social telos of Central America. My study explores phenomenological film analysis as a tool for examining affects and their circulations in the film. By using an affective code, Malacrianza engages the viewer in an intimate experience of the violence(s) of contemporary El Salvador.

Published: July 2018

O córrego Barreirinho, objeto desse estudo, situado no município Ibirité-MG, vem sendo utilizado pela população do entorno principalmente para irrigação de hortaliças, mas a qualidade microbiológica do mesmo ainda não foi avaliada. O objetivo deste estudo foi avaliar os parâmetros físico-químicos e microbiológicos da água deste córrego e compará-los com os padrões da Resolução N°357 do CONAMA. A metodologia utilizada foi a técnica de tubos múltiplos e análise com o Kit de Detecção Rápida EnZquik. Os resultados das análises deste estudo demonstraram que os pontos próximos à nascente e no meio do curso d’água, com irrigação das hortas, mostram resultados semelhantes; as águas nesses pontos podem ser utilizadas para irrigação de hortaliças e consumo humano após tratamento simplificado. Os testes apontaram que no final do curso, na área urbana, a água é imprópria para qualquer uso. A semelhança entre os resultados obtidos com as duas técnicas permite sugerir que o Kit Enzquik, pode futuramente substituir técnicas utilizadas em laboratório, diminuindo o tempo de incubação e análise com outras metodologias, gerando um resultado quase instantâneo.

Published: July 2018

AbstractThe developing fetus is particularly susceptible to environmental pollutants, and evidence has shown adverse effects of air pollutants on pregnancy and birth outcomes. Pregnancy loss, including spontaneous abortion (miscarriage) and stillbirth, is the most severe adverse pregnancy outcome. This review focuses on air pollution exposure during pregnancy in relation to spontaneous abortion and stillbirth. A total of 43 studies are included in this review, including 35 human studies and eight animal studies. Overall, these studies suggest that exposure to air pollutants such as particulate matter (PM), carbon monoxide (CO) and cooking smoke may be associated with higher risk for stillbirth and spontaneous abortion. PM10exposure during an entire pregnancy was associated with increased risk of spontaneous abortion, and exposure to PM2.5and PM10in the third trimester might increase the risk of stillbirth. CO exposure during the first trimester of pregnancy was associated with an increased risk of spontaneous abortion and exposure during the third trimester was associated with an increased risk of stillbirth. Cooking smoke was found to increase the risk of stillbirths, and the evidence was consistent. Insufficient and conflicting evidence was found for various other pollutants, such as NO2and SO2. Studies did not show clear evidence for associations between pregnancy loss and others pollutants such as heavy metals, organochlorine compounds, PAH and total dust count. Further research is warranted to better understand the relationship between air pollution exposure and pregnancy loss.
Bayes Linear Regression Performance Model Depending on Experts’ Knowledge and Current Road Condition
Authors: Heba Abdussalam , Assaf Gabriel J. 
Published: July 2018

Abstract
Strategic and long-term planning in pavement management systems relies primarily on performance prediction models to ensure efficient and forward-looking management and to set present and future budget requirements. In many developing countries, roads face increasing damage because of the lack of regular maintenance. This reinforces the need to develop a system to predict the deterioration of roads in order to determine the optimal intervention strategies for the road network. This article suggests a Bayesian regression method to develop a performance model for cases when archived pavement data are not available, and this would use expert knowledge as a prior distribution. As such, experts who have worked for a long time with the road and transportation agencies have been interviewed to develop a portion of the input data. Posterior distribution was calculated using the likelihood estimation function based on road condition inspections according to the predefined protocol. The results were prediction models of pavement deterioration based on a mixture of a few onsite inspections interacting with expert knowledge.
Мир рукописной и печатной книги Великого княжества Литовского в XVI–XVII вв.: связи и пересечения
Authors: Циценене Рима 
Published: July 2018

[full article, abstract in Russian; abstract in Lithuanian and English]
This article aims to uncover what knowledge about manuscript books of this time period has been acquired so far, whether the traditional manufacturing style of manuscript books was retained or it was brought closer to the one applied to printed books. Books currently stored in the Manuscript department of the WLLAS were selected as the object of this inquiry. Based on updated dating, 112 exemplars from libraries of Suprasl, Zhyrovichy, Markov and other monasteries were selected and studied de visu in the aspect of Book Science. The results obtained are only preliminary due to a limited number of studied samples. Therefore most remaining exemplars are written in Cyrillic for Orthodox and Uniate Churches. After comparing manuscript and printed books, it is evident that transcription process had been taking place in a two-way manner from the middle of the XVI c. up to the XVII c. While printed books were prepared and printed based solely on manuscripts held in libraries of monasteries, printed books were copied by hand in form of codices. If the first prints were deliberately made to resemble manuscript books, at the middle of the XVII century, scribers and illuminators endeavoured to create manuscript books which would look as similar to printed books as possible. Therefore, it may be concluded the manufacturing tradition of manuscript books was retained and new and functional elements of printed structures were successfully adapted for use in manuscripts.
Od konfliktu do integracji. Historia i teologiczne uzasadnienie metodologicznej odrębności poznania wiary i rozumu
Authors: Chyłka Bartłomiej 
Published: July 2018

The history of relationship between faith and reason is marked by four modelsof the interaction between science and theology proposed by Ian G. Barbour:conflict, independence, dialogue and integration. Even if nineteenth-centurypositivism is still present in many scientists’ minds, philosophy of science eventuallymanaged to overcome it in the 1960s. A mutual distrust between faithand reason started to disappear. In this context Fr. Michał Heller presenteda project of a new discipline – the theology of science which would look at theboundaries of the natural sciences from the theological point of view. According to Fr. Wojciech Giertych the adequate model of relationship between faith andreason can be based theologically on Chalcedonian Christology of Jesus’ twonatures. Since reason and faith come together unconfusedly and inseparably ina human being, a mutual dialogue and even integration between theology andscience is by all means possible.

Background
Pseudoxanthoma elasticum (PXE) is a genetic disease caused by mutations in the ABCC6 gene that result in low pyrophosphate levels and subsequent progressive soft tissue calcifications. PXE mainly affects the skin, retina, and arteries. However, many patients with PXE experience kidney stones. We determined the prevalence of this pathology in patients with PXE and examined the possible underlying mechanisms in murine models.

Methods
We conducted a retrospective study in a large cohort of patients with PXE and analyzed urine samples and kidneys from Abcc6
−/− mice at various ages. We used Yasue staining, scanning electron microscopy, electron microscopy coupled to electron energy loss spectroscopy, and Fourier transform infrared microspectroscopy to characterize kidney calcifications.

Results
Among 113 patients with PXE, 45 (40%) had a past medical history of kidney stones. Five of six computed tomography scans performed showed evidence of massive papillary calcifications (Randall plaques). Abcc6
−/− mice spontaneously developed kidney interstitial apatite calcifications with aging. These calcifications appeared specifically at the tip of the papilla and formed Randall plaques similar to those observed in human kidneys. Compared with controls, Abcc6
−/− mice had low urinary excretion of pyrophosphate.

Conclusions
The frequency of kidney stones and probably, Randall plaque is extremely high in patients with PXE, and Abcc6
−/− mice provide a new and useful model in which to study Randall plaque formation. Our findings also suggest that pyrophosphate administration should be evaluated for the prevention of Randall plaque and kidney stones.

Background. Pelvic floor muscle exercises are used as a first-line treatment for urinary incontinence after radical prostatectomy. Their efficacy is still being investigated. The use of biofeedback when teaching pelvic floor muscle exercises to patients increases the effectiveness of therapy.Objective: to assess the efficacy of biofeedback-assisted pelvic floor muscle training in patients with urinary incontinence after laparoscopic and robot-assisted radical prostatectomy and to compare the results of teaching.Materials and methods. A total of 64 patients with urinary incontinence after nerve sparing prostatectomy underwent biofeedback-assisted pelvic floor muscle rehabilitation. Radical laparoscopic surgery was performed in 48 (75 %) patients, whereas robot-assisted surgery was performed in 16 (25 %) patients. The patients started their training 2 months postoperatively. We used two-channel electromyography with the Neurotrack ETS system (United Kingdom) to teach the patients isolated pelvic floor muscle contractions. After achieving a minimum activity of abdominal muscles during pelvic floor muscle contractions, the patients started exercises.Results. There was no significant difference in age between patients who underwent laparoscopic and robot-assisted radical prostatectomy (р = 0.79). Fifty-five patients (85.9%) acquired the skill of isolated pelvic floor muscle contractions and could perform training on their own. The remaining 9 patients (14.1 %) required regular support from healthcare professionals at an outpatient unit (1–2 biofeedback-assisted trainings per month). Thus, the type of surgery did not affect the process of training. The type of radical prostatectomy had no impact on the acquisition of the pelvic floor muscle contraction skill.Conclusion. The time for restoration of urinary continence by biofeedback-assisted pelvic floor muscle training did not vary between patients after laparoscopic and robot-assisted radical prostatectomy.

Background. Viral infection is a major factor in virus-associated carcinogenesis.Objective: to evaluate the expression of growth factors and markers of apoptosis, proliferative activity, and angiogenesis in patients with viral DNA-positive bladder cancer.Materials and methods. The study included 100 bladder cancer patients (72 males and 28 females) aged between 38 and 90 years (mean age 65 ± 10). Tumor tissue samples were tested by polymerase chain reaction to detect DNA of herpes simplex virus types 1 and 2 (HSV-1 and HSV-2 respectively), high-risk human papillomavirus (HPV), cytomegalovirus (CMV), and Epstein—Barr virus (EBV). Immunohistochemical analysis was performed in 32 patients and included the following markers: proliferation marker Ki-67, p63, apoptosis regulator Bcl-2, p53, angiogenesis marker CD31, adhesion protein CD44, and epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR).Results. Viral DNA in tumor tissue was detected in 34 patients; of them, 50 % had poorly-differentiated tumors. Twenty-seven patients were found to have EBV DNA in their tumor tissue; 6 patients had CMV DNA; 5 patients had high-risk HPV DNA (types 16, 39, 45, 52, and 59); 1 patient had HSV1 and HSV2 DNA. Four out of 34 participants had mixed infections (1 case of HPV 59 + EBV; 2 cases of EBV + CMV; 1 case of CMV + EBV + HPV 31 and 52). We observed a strong correlation between the presence of EBV DNA and levels of CD31 and Ki-67 expression as well as between high-risk HPV DNA and Bcl-2 expression. High levels of antibodies against EBV capsid antigen were associated with EGFR and Ki-67 expression, whereas the level of antibodies against EBV nuclear antigen correlated with CD44 expression. We evaluated specific characteristics of expression of the markers analyzed depending on the tumor stage, grade of anaplasia, and recurrence. We also assessed morphological characteristics of changes in lymphocytic and plasma cell infiltrates.Conclusion. We found a correlation between the presence of viral DNA in bladder cancer tissue and markers of proliferative activity, angiogenesis, and apoptosis. Viral infection is likely to increase proliferative activity and suppression of apoptosis, which may cause tumor progression. Further studies are needed to assess this correlation.
