Abstract
We present the design and implementation of an automated data calibration and reduction pipeline for very long baseline interferometric (VLBI) observations taken at millimeter wavelengths. These short radio wavelengths provide the best imaging resolution available from ground-based VLBI networks such as the Event Horizon Telescope (EHT) and the Global Millimeter VLBI Array (GMVA) but require specialized processing owing to the strong effects from atmospheric opacity and turbulence, as well as the heterogeneous nature of existing global arrays. The pipeline builds on a calibration suite (HOPS) originally designed for precision geodetic VLBI. To support the reduction of data for astronomical observations, we have developed an additional framework for global phase and amplitude calibration that provides output in a standard data format for astronomical imaging and analysis. The pipeline was successfully used toward the reduction of 1.3 mm observations from the EHT 2017 campaign, leading to the first image of a black hole “shadow” at the center of the radio galaxy M87. In this work, we analyze observations taken at 3.5 mm (86 GHz) by the GMVA, joined by the phased Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array in 2017 April, and demonstrate the benefits from the specialized processing of high-frequency VLBI data with respect to classical analysis techniques.
3D Feature of Self-correlation Level Contours at 1010 cm Scale in Solar Wind Turbulence

Published: August 2019

Abstract
The self-correlation level contours at 1010 cm scale reveal a 2D isotropic feature in both the slow solar wind fluctuations and the fast solar wind fluctuations. However, this 2D isotropic feature is obtained based on the assumption of axisymmetry with respect to the mean magnetic field. Whether the self-correlation level contours are still 3D isotropic remains unknown. Here we perform for the first time a 3D self-correlation level contours analysis on the solar wind turbulence. We construct a 3D coordinate system based on the mean magnetic field direction and the maximum fluctuation direction identified by the minimum-variance analysis method. We use data with 1 hr intervals observed by WIND spacecraft from 2005 to 2018. We find, on one hand, in the slow solar wind, the self-correlation level contour surfaces for both the magnetic field and the velocity field are almost spherical, which indicates a 3D isotropic feature. On the other hand, there is a weak elongation in one of the perpendicular directions in the fast solar wind fluctuations. The 3D feature of the self-correlation level contours surfaces cannot be explained by the existing theory.
Teaching Workplace Interprofessional Communication to Undergraduate Nursing Students
Authors: Sowko Lucille A. , Fennimore Laura A. , Drahnak Dawn M. 
Published: August 2019

Background:

Patient safety may be compromised by ineffective communication. The American Association of Colleges of Nursing's Baccalaureate Nursing (BSN)
Essentials
state that effective communication skills are vital for nursing students to deliver safe patient care.

Method:
Faculty developed materials—including trigger videos—to teach nursing students effective communication in response to difficult workplace conversations. Students were surveyed after instruction and viewing scenarios demonstrating difficult conversations. Students prepared smartphone videos using scripting and received feedback from faculty and peers.

Results:

Increased comfort in addressing difficult conversations was noted for communication following medication errors (
p
= .011) and bullying (
p
< .001) scenarios. Students were likely to report delegation issues (
p
< .001) yet were less sure about reporting medication errors (
p
< .001) or bullying (
p
< .001). Students were less likely to use avoidance in addressing bullying (
p
= .015) but were unsure if they would avoid addressing medication errors (
p
= .004).

Conclusion:

The project provided innovative strategies to teach effective communication to nursing students.

International Service-Learning for Nurse Practitioner Students: Enhancing Clinical Practice Skills and Cultural Competence
Authors: Merritt Lisa Schaeg , Murphy Natalie L. 
Published: August 2019

Background:
The purpose of this project was to determine whether an international service-learning nurse-led clinic was a beneficial experience for nurse practitioner (NP) students in improving diagnostic and cultural confidence, skills acquisition, and cultural competence during a clinical practicum.

Method:
The sample consisted of 10 Doctor of Nursing Practice (DNP) students in various NP tracks during an international service-learning experience in Guatemala. A Likert survey was used for student evaluation of experience. An analytic grading rubric measured clinical and cultural performance.

Results:

Practice competency scores were high overall (
M
= 3.36;
SD
= 0.664). All students increased their confidence in diagnostic abilities (
M
= 4.89;
SD
= 0.422) and in caring for a culturally diverse population (
M
= 4.89;
SD
= 0.333).

Conclusion:

An international service-learning nurse-led clinic used to complement clinical practice hours as a beneficial experience in assisting NP students in developing diagnostic and cultural confidence.

Glycolipid Stimulation of Invariant NKT Cells Expands a Unique Tissue-Resident Population of Precursors to Mature NK Cells Endowed with Oncolytic and Antimetastatic Properties
Authors: Choi Joshua , Rudak Patrick T. , Lesage Sylvie , Haeryfar S. M. Mansour 
Published: August 2019

AbstractInvariant NKT (iNKT) cells are innate-like T lymphocytes that recognize and respond to glycolipid Ags such as α-galactosylceramide (α-GalCer). This unique property has been exploited in clinical trials for multiple malignancies. While investigating mouse iNKT cell responses to α-GalCer in vivo, we found a dramatically enlarged tissue-resident population surprisingly coexpressing select dendritic cell, NK cell, and B cell markers. Further phenotypic and functional analyses revealed the identity of this B220+CD11c+MHC class II+NK1.1+ population as precursors to mature NK (pre-mNK) cells, which also expressed high levels of proliferation and tissue retention markers but diminished sphingosine-1-phosphate receptor 1, a receptor that facilitates tissue trafficking. Accordingly, FTY720, a sphingosine-1-phosphate receptor 1 antagonist, failed to prevent pre-mNK cells’ intrahepatic accumulation. We found iNKT cell–driven expansion of pre-mNK cells to be dependent on IL-12 and IL-18. Although α-GalCer–transactivated pre-mNK cells lost their capacity to process a model tumor Ag, they selectively expressed granzyme A and directly lysed YAC-1 thymoma cells through granule exocytosis. They also contributed to β2 microglobulin–deficient target cell destruction in vivo. Therefore, α-GalCer treatment skewed pre-mNK cell responses away from an APC-like phenotype and toward killer cell–like functions. Finally, the ability of α-GalCer to reduce the pulmonary metastatic burden of B16-F10 mouse melanoma was partially reversed by in vivo depletion of pre-mNK cells. To our knowledge, our findings shed new light on iNKT cells’ mechanism of action and glycolipid-based immunotherapies. Therefore, we introduce pre-mNK cells as a novel downstream effector cell type whose anticancer properties may have been overlooked in previous investigations.
Interplay between Affinity and Valency in Effector Cell Degranulation: A Model System with Polcalcin Allergens and Human Patient–Derived IgE Antibodies
Authors: Bucaite Gintare , Kang-Pettinger Tara , Moreira Jorge , Gould Hannah J. , James Louisa K. , Sutton Brian J. , McDonnell James M. 
Published: August 2019

Abstract
An allergic reaction is rapidly generated when allergens bind and cross-link IgE bound to its receptor FcεRI on effector cells, resulting in cell degranulation and release of proinflammatory mediators. The extent of effector cell activation is linked to allergen affinity, oligomeric state, valency, and spacing of IgE-binding epitopes on the allergen. Whereas most of these observations come from studies using synthetic allergens, in this study we have used Timothy grass pollen allergen Phl p 7 and birch pollen allergen Bet v 4 to study these effects. Despite the high homology of these polcalcin family allergens, Phl p 7 and Bet v 4 display different binding characteristics toward two human patient–derived polcalcin-specific IgE Abs. We have used native polcalcin dimers and engineered multimeric allergens to test the effects of affinity and oligomeric state on IgE binding and effector cell activation. Our results indicate that polcalcin multimers are required to stimulate high levels of effector cell degranulation when using the humanized RBL-SX38 cell model and that multivalency can overcome the need for high-affinity interactions.
Family dermatology life quality index in patients with pemphigus vulgaris: A cross-sectional study
Authors: Sajedianfard Sarvin , Handjani Farhad , Saki Nasrin , Heiran Alireza 
Published: August 2019

Background and Aims:
Pemphigus vulgaris is a rare autoimmune intraepidermal vesiculobullous disease involving the skin and mucosa. It impacts the quality of life of both patients and their families.

Methods:
A total of 70 patients with pemphigus vulgaris (either outpatient or hospitalized) were enrolled using the simple sampling method between 2016 and 2017 from the dermatology clinic at Faghihi Hospital, Shiraz, Iran. A validated Persian version of the Family Dermatology Life Quality Index (FLDQI) questionnaire was filled by a family caregiver. The questionnaire contained 10 items assessing the quality of life of the family. Demographic variables were recorded in a separate form.

Results:
The mean age of the patients was 51 ± 11.3 years and that of the family caregivers was 32 ± 8.8 years. The FLDQI score was higher (poorer quality of life) if the patient was male, older, had shorter disease duration or had fewer disease recurrences (P = 0.046, 0.01, 0.001 and >0.001, respectively). Higher scores were also obtained in the less-educated caregivers (P = 0.026) but there was no association with either gender or age (P = 0.399, 0.1).

Conclusion:
Pemphigus vulgaris significantly affects the Family Dermatology Life Quality Index. Education and counseling of family caregivers by various support groups such as Pemphigus Family Associations could be effective in improving the quality of life of the caregivers.

Limitations:
This study did not assess the effect of comprising domain analysis, severity of disease, patients’ Dermatology Life Quality Index (DLQI), mucosal involvement, response to treatment, outpatient or admitted status, socioeconomic status, or the quality of life among the various family members.
El deber de notificar y el derecho a la no autoinculpación en la protección de datos personales
Authors: Reyes Kahansky Carolina Marcela 
Published: August 2019

El RGPD establece para todos los responsables y encargados de tratamientos de datos personales la obligación de notificar a la autoridad de protección de datos las violaciones de la seguridad de los datos que están tratando, obligación cuyo incumplimiento puede entrañar una sanción, que se instaura como medida coactiva. En los casos en que la brecha de la seguridad de los datos esté relacionada con un incumplimiento de otras obligaciones que el RGPD pone a cargo del mismo responsable o encargado, la notificación se puede convertir en una declaración autoinculpatoria obtenida bajo coacción. Por ello analizamos en este artículo la posibilidad de invocar la notificación u otras evidencias de incumplimientos que se han conocido por medio de ella, en calidad de prueba de cargo en un procedimiento sancionador seguido contra el responsable.The GDPR stablishes for all the controllers and processors of personal data, the obligation to notify to the supervisory authority the breaches occurred to the personal data that they process. The infringement of this obligation shall be subject to administrative penalties, that are thus set as a coercive measure. If the personal data breach is related to an infringement of other obligations imposed by the GDPR to the same controller or processor, then the notification may become a self-incriminating statement made under coercion. For those reasons, in this article we analyse the possibility of bringing the said notification or other evidence based on it, as incriminatory evidence against the subject on a proceeding for an offence under the GDPR.
Organización de los servicios de orientación en educación infantil y primaria//Organization of educational guidance services in pre-primary and primary education
Authors: González Tejerina Sara , Vieira Aller MªJosé 
Published: August 2019

RESUMENLa organización de la orientación educativa en Educación Infantil y Primaria en España ha respondido, tradicionalmente, a la creación de servicios externos a los centros. En este estudio, se analiza y compara la normativa que regula la orientación educativa en Educación Infantil y Primaria en las diecisiete Comunidades Autónomas y las dos Ciudades Autónomas, Ceuta y Melilla a través de la metodología cualitativa de análisis documental (n= 51 documentos). Los resultados de esta investigación confirman los resultados de estudios previos que indican que los servicios de orientación educativa que más predominan son los servicios de carácter general dirigidos al alumnado de 6 a 12 años, los de carácter especializado dirigidos al alumnado con necesidad específica de apoyo educativo y, en menor medida, Equipos de Atención Temprana (0-6 años). Como novedad, han surgido Unidades de Orientación internas a los centros, y servicios cuyas funciones principales son favorecer la coordinación, la investigación y la elaboración de recursos. En conclusión, a pesar de que predomina un modelo organizativo de orientación por medio de servicios externos, la orientación educativa está evolucionando hacia un modelo que garantice la tutoría del grupo clase, los departamentos o Unidades de Orientación internas a los centros y la existencia en el sector de servicios con una mayor especialización técnica, junto con la necesaria creación de estructuras para favorecer la coordinación de estos agentes orientadores.ABSTRACT Organisation of educational guidance in Pre-Primary and Primary Education in Spain has traditionally responded to the provision of services external to the schools. In this study, we analyse and compare the regulations governing educational guidance in Pre-Primary and Primary Education in the seventeen Autonomous Communities and the two Autonomous Cities, Ceuta and Melilla through the qualitative methodology of documentary analysis (n = 51 documents). The results of this research confirm those of previous studies that indicate that most common educational guidance services are general services directed to students from 6 to 12 years, those of specialized character directed to students with specific need of educational support and, to a lesser extent, Early Care Teams (to students from 0 to 6 years). As a novelty, internal guidance units have emerged at schools, and also services whose main functions are promoting coordination, doing research and elaborating resources. In conclusion, in spite of the predominance of an organizational model of educational guidance by means of external services, educational guidance is evolving towards a model that guarantees tutoring at class level, guidance departments or units at school level, and the existence in the region of services with a greater technical specialization, together with the necessary creation of structures to promote coordination of guidance agents.
Crimes ambientais contra a fauna: táxons cinegéticos registrados no período de 2007 a 2015 na área de proteção ambiental de Guaratuba, Paraná e seu entorno
Authors: Paduch Elaine , Quadros Juliana 
Published: August 2019

A caça de animais silvestres é uma atividade ilegal que ocorre em todas as regiões do Brasil, exercida por diferentes populações. O presente artigo teve por objetivo contribuir para o conhecimento dos táxons cinegéticos na Área de Proteção Ambiental de Guaratuba e seu entorno, no período de 2007 a 2015. A pesquisa é caracterizada como documental. Para a coleta de dados foram utilizados os Boletins de Ocorrência (BO) de crimes contra a fauna registrados pela Polícia Militar Ambiental do Estado do Paraná, tendo a mesma durado entre março de 2016 a fevereiro de 2017. Após a análise dos dados pode-se observar que, no que tange as espécies alvos de caça ilegal citadas nos boletins foram identificados nos seguintes grupos 62,64% mamíferos, seguidos de 36,26% aves e 1,1% répteis. Entre os mais citados estão: Dasypodidae, Procyonidae e Tayassuidae. Do grupo das aves, Tinamídea Turdidae e Ramphastidae. Já as aves menores geralmente canoras, são as mais apanhadas e tem como destino o comércio ilegal e cativeiro. Além disso, a caça apresenta características de caça esportiva e comercial associada ao porte irregular de arma de fogo (espingarda) e petrechos. O cenário se mostrou preocupante em relação as suas potenciais implicações ecológicas, ilustrando que além de ser uma prática de caça ilegal e indiscriminada, tem sido realizada dentro de fragmentos preservados pelas UC que na maioria das localidades possuem uma precária fiscalização e poucos incentivos.
Music and the Myth of Wholeness
Authors: Hodgkinson Tim 
Published: August 2019

A new theory of aesthetics and music, grounded in the collision between language and the body.
In this book, Tim Hodgkinson proposes a theory of aesthetics and music grounded in the boundary between nature and culture within the human being. His analysis discards the conventional idea of the human being as an integrated whole in favor of a rich and complex field in which incompatible kinds of information—biological and cultural—collide. It is only when we acknowledge the clash of body and language within human identity that we can understand how art brings forth the special form of subjectivity potentially present in aesthetic experiences.
As a young musician, Hodgkinson realized that music was, in some mysterious way, “of itself”—not isolated from life, but not entirely continuous with it, either. Drawing on his experiences as a musician, composer, and anthropologist, Hodgkinson shows how when we listen to music a new subjectivity comes to life in ourselves. The normal mode of agency is suspended, and the subjectivity inscribed in the music comes toward us as a formative “other” to engage with. But this is not our reproduction of the composer's own subjectivation; when we perform our listening of the music, we are sharing the formative risks taken by its maker. To examine this in practice, Hodgkinson looks at the work of three composers who have each claimed to stimulate a new way of listening: Pierre Schaeffer, John Cage, and Helmut Lachenmann.
Sympathy for the Traitor
Authors: Polizzotti Mark 
Published: August 2019

An engaging and unabashedly opinionated examination of what translation is and isn't.
For some, translation is the poor cousin of literature, a necessary evil if not an outright travesty—summed up by the old Italian play on words, traduttore, traditore (translator, traitor). For others, translation is the royal road to cross-cultural understanding and literary enrichment. In this nuanced and provocative study, Mark Polizzotti attempts to reframe the debate along more fruitful lines. Eschewing both these easy polarities and the increasingly abstract discourse of translation theory, he brings the main questions into clearer focus: What is the ultimate goal of a translation? What does it mean to label a rendering “faithful”? (Faithful to what?) Is something inevitably lost in translation, and can something also be gained? Does translation matter, and if so, why? Unashamedly opinionated, both a manual and a manifesto, his book invites usto sympathize with the translator not as a “traitor” but as the author's creative partner.
Polizzotti, himself a translator of authors from Patrick Modiano to Gustave Flaubert, explores what translation is and what it isn't, and how it does or doesn't work. Translation, he writes, “skirts the boundaries between art and craft, originality and replication, altruism and commerce, genius and hack work.” In Sympathy for the Traitor, he shows us how to read not only translations but also the act of translation itself, treating it not as a problem to be solved but as an achievement to be celebrated—something, as Goethe put it, “impossible, necessary, and important.”
Modernizing America's Electricity Infrastructure
Authors: Willrich Mason 
Published: August 2019

A comprehensive, coherent strategy for modernizing America's electricity infrastructure while ensuring affordable, reliable, secure, and environmentally sustainable electricity services.
America's aging electricity infrastructure is deteriorating rapidly even as the need for highly reliable electric service—driven by the explosion of digital technology—continues to rise. Largely missing from national discussions, however, is a coherent, comprehensive national strategy for modernizing this critical infrastructure. Energy expert Mason Willrich presents just such a strategy in this book, connecting the dots across electric utilities, independent suppliers, government bureaucracies, political jurisdictions, and academic disciplines. He explains the need for a coherent approach, offers a framework for analyzing policy options, and proposes a step-by-step strategy for modernizing electrical infrastructure, end-to-end, in a way that ensures the delivery of affordable, reliable, secure, and environmentally sustainable electricity services.
Willrich argues that an effective electrical infrastructure modernization strategy must incorporate flexibility, adaptability, and the capacity to coordinate policies at local, state, and federal levels. He reviews the history of America's electrification, from Edison's demonstration of the incandescent light bulb through the recent expansion of wind, solar, and energy efficiency as carbon-free energy resources. He describes the current ownership and operation of the electric industry and the complicated web of federal and state policies that govern it.
The Heart of the Brain
Authors: Leng Gareth 
Published: August 2019

How hormonal signals in one small structure of the brain—the hypothalamus—govern our physiology and behavior.
As human beings, we prefer to think of ourselves as reasonable. But how much of what we do is really governed by reason? In this book, Gareth Leng considers the extent to which one small structure of the neuroendocrine brain—the hypothalamus—influences what we do, how we love, and who we are.
The hypothalamus contains a large variety of neurons. These communicate not only through neurotransmitters, but also through peptide signals that act as hormones within the brain. While neurotransmitter signals tend to be ephemeral and confined by anatomical connectivity, the hormone signals that hypothalamic neurons generate are potent, wide-reaching, and long-lasting. Leng explores the evolutionary origins of these remarkable neurons, and where the receptors for their hormone signals are found in the brain. By asking how the hypothalamic neurons and their receptors are regulated, he explores how the hypothalamus links our passions with our reason. The Heart of the Brain shows in an accessible way how this very small structure is very much at the heart of what makes us human.
