Performing for Hollywood: Coloniality and the tourist image in Esteban Ramírez’s Caribe/Caribbean (2004)
Authors: Harvey-Kattou Liz 
Published: July 2018

Abstract
This article problematizes US–Costa Rican cultural and ideological relations through an analysis of Esteban Ramírez’s Caribe/Caribbean (2004) by arguing that it unconsciously invites an international audience to colonize Costa Rica – and Latin America more widely – via the tourist gaze. Beginning by considering Ramírez’s anti-imperialist stance within the film’s plot, which underscores the sovereignty of the Central American nation, I argue that these aims are undone through the exoticization of space and place. The article analyses how the tropical image of the nation is internalized by the film and how hegemonic Hollywood tropes of ethnicity and gender are mimicked and performed.
Aspectos cualitativos de la vivienda de interés social
Authors: Fiscarelli Dr. Arq. Diego Martín 
Published: July 2018

A diferencia de lo que ocurre con las Unidades Domésticas, cuyo ciclo vital despliega desplazamientos, cambios de tamaño, de estructura y necesidades en fases relativamente breves y dinámicas, la vivienda estatal destinada a los sectores de menores recursos económicos, surgida de programas de construcción tipo “llave en mano” se concibe como un cuadro funcional estable y se materializa como un espacio mínimo destinado al alojamiento. Asimismo, su localización territorial –generalmente en ámbitos urbanos pero periféricos-, la califica y condiciona su desempeño para contemplar actividades no previstas. Sin embargo, la evolución del hábitat propio es una característica intrínseca a la especie humana: como primera instancia de relación con el ambiente, la vivienda es el medio donde el hombre expone la construcción de un modo particular de habitar, un proceso dinámico que se agudiza en el tiempo con los avances tecnológicos y las transformaciones globales que las sociedades manifiestan en sus comportamientos urbanos. Pero que fundamentalmente obedece a las trayectorias del grupo habitante que conforma.
Contemplando estos aspectos, considerando al proyecto como herramienta fundamental en la producción de conocimiento y a la Investigación Proyectual como un marco epistemológico pertinente para una investigación en arquitectura, este trabajo discurre sobre la noción de adaptabilidad, en particular sus estrategias y recursos proyectuales. Como parámetros que encuadran la temática en los Estándares Mínimos de Calidad para Viviendas de Interés Social, permiten verificar el correlato entre adaptabilidad y la producción habitacional municipal formulada con motivo del lanzamiento –año 2005- del Subprograma de Urbanización de Villas y Asentamientos Precarios (SUVAP). Aunque se plantea como recorte la mediación del SUVAP en las políticas federales, en el análisis de la vivienda de producción masiva se encuentra la posibilidad de someter a revisión las pautas proyectuales que aún vigentes, determinan límites para la consideración de la adaptabilidad como factor normativo de los Estándares Mínimos de Calidad, -y como parámetro en la vivienda contemporánea-, en tanto describen una extendida y particular forma de concebir el proyecto de la vivienda de producción estatal destinada a los sectores de menores recursos económicos.

Popularity of conducting polymers are become widely known and researches for practical application also has been done. In order to developed a continuous process for industrial scale, we have proposed a spray pyrolysis method to synthesis a flexible conductive film of Poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene) poly(styrene sulfonate) (PEDOT:PSS) on poly(ethylene terephthalate) (PET) and annealed at different temperatures and spray distances. The optimum condition that resulting a best morphology was anneal at 90oC and 20 cm distance with electrical conductivity 4.5 S/cm. It was found that annealing at temperature higher than 90oC will resulting a stress to a film and formed crack due to a different thermal expansion, while at the distance higher than 20 cm resulting a loss of PEDOT:PSS droplets. IR spectra shows that there is no any sign of PEDOT:PSS degradation even at 110oC. SEM analysis also show that the thickness is well distributed and there is no any sign of crack formedArticle History: Received February 24th 2017; Received in revised form May 16th 2018; Accepted May 20th 2018; Available onlineHow to Cite This Article: Tarmidzi, F.M. and Sasongko, S.B.

Published: July 2018

Abstract
The gold standard for estimating blood alcohol content (BAC) after alcohol consumption is a blood sample analysis. An innovative technology to estimate BAC is based on impedance cardiography and bioimpedance spectroscopy (BIS). This study investigated whether it is possible to estimate increasing blood alcohol levels during a drinking trial with bioimpedance measurement techniques. Twenty-one healthy volunteers were assigned to a test (ethanol) group (ETH) or a reference group (H2O). After baseline measurements, the ETH group ingested 120 ml of vodka, followed by a resorption phase of 50 min. Then, bioimpedance and breath alcohol measurements were performed. Thereafter, 60 ml of vodka was ingested and another resorption phase of 50 min was followed by bioimpedance and breath alcohol measurements. This procedure was repeated until alcohol levels exceeded 0.4 mg/l. The H2O group performed in the same way with water. For all measurements, extracellular resistance (Re) and the base impedance (Z0) were computed. Regarding BIS, several parameters differed significantly between the ETH and the H2O group. Re increased in ETH (p=0.005), but not in the H2O group when comparing the first and last measurements. Z0 also increased significantly in the ETH group (p=0.001). To conclude, with BIS measurements, it is possible to measure increasing blood alcohol levels.

Abstract
In contrast to population-based medical decision making, which emphasizes the use of evidence-based treatment strategies for groups of patients, personalized medicine is based on optimizing treatment at the level of the individual patient. The creation of molecular profiles of individual patients was made possible by the advent of “omics” technologies, based on high throughput instrumental techniques in combination with biostatistics tools and artificial intelligence. The goal of personalized laboratory medicine is to use advanced technologies in the process of preventive, curative or palliative patient management. Personalized medicine does not rely on changes in concentration of a single molecular marker to make a therapeutic decision, but rather on changes of a profile of markers characterizing an individual patient’s status, taking into account not only the expected response to treatment of the disease but also the expected response of the patient. Such medical approach promises a more effective diagnostics with more effective and safer treatment, as well as faster recovery and restoration of health and improved cost effectiveness. The laboratory medicine profession is aware of its key role in personalized medicine, but to empower the laboratories, at least an enhancement in cooperation between disciplines within laboratory medicine will be necessary.
Leakage Performance of Joints in Gravity Flow Pipes Subjected to Shear Force, Angular Misalignment, and Diameter Deformation
Authors: Becerril García David , Moore Ian D. 
Published: July 2018

Abstract
Current standards for quality control testing of joints in gravity flow pipelines specify tests that do not evaluate conditions that have been registered in full-scale laboratory tests and are estimated using simplified design equations, particularly the shear forces transferred across the joint. In this research study, the leakage performance of joints in reinforced concrete, corrugated high-density polyethylene, and corrugated steel pipelines is evaluated when joints are subjected to expected service conditions. To do this, a testing apparatus that is capable of applying expected demands in a controlled fashion while the pipeline is subjected to internal or external fluid pressures was developed. It was observed that shear force and diameter changes controlled the leakage resistance of those joints, and that some were more susceptible to leakage when subjected to internal pressure compared to external pressure. The results are used to establish recommendations regarding test procedures of joints for culverts and other gravity flow applications.
Prudent Automatic Falls Detection by Analyzing the Carrier State Information Signal Using Wi-Fi Devices
Authors: Velumani R. , Vijayakumar M. 
Published: July 2018

Abstract
This research article paves a way to rescue the elderly as soon as possible, thereby potentially saving the life of the person and reducing the costs borne by the sufferer. It has become very common for persons above the age of sixty to fall. An effective prevention and rescue operation is needed to ensure the life of older people. An automatic fall detection method is proposed by analyzing the channel state information (CSI) of the signal generated in the environment where the elderly live using commonly available Wi-Fi devices. The amplitude and phase of the CSI can be studied via Wi-Fi devices. The human activity is recognized based on the amplitude and phase difference of the receiving antenna. The features for actual fall and fall-like activities or pseudo fall are identified by considering the trivial power decline ratio (PDR) drafted in terms of the frequency and time domain of the waveform using a support vector machine. The performance of the proposed system is analyzed based on a confusion matrix for the false positive ratio and compared with a real time fall detection method designed using an ultrasonic array sensor.
Disruption ofINOS, a Gene Encodingmyo-Inositol Phosphate Synthase, Causes Male Sterility inDrosophila melanogaster
Authors: Jackson Natasha A M , Flores Angelina M , Eldon Elizabeth D , Klig Lisa S 
Published: July 2018

AbstractInositol is a precursor for the phospholipid membrane component phosphatidylinositol (PI), involved in signal transduction pathways, endoplasmic reticulum stress, and osmoregulation. Alterations of inositol metabolism have been implicated in human reproductive issues, the therapeutic effects of drugs used to treat epilepsy and bipolar disorder, spinal cord defects, and diseases including diabetes and Alzheimer’s. The sole known inositol synthetic enzyme is myo-inositol synthase (MIPS), and the homolog in Drosophilia melanogaster is encoded by the Inos gene. Three identical deletion strains (inosΔDF/CyO) were constructed, confirmed by PCR and sequencing, and homozygotes (inosΔDF/inosΔDF) were shown to lack the transcript encoding the MIPS enzyme. Without inositol, homozygous inosΔDF deletion fertilized eggs develop only to the first-instar larval stage. When transferred as pupae to food without inositol, however, inosΔDF homozygotes die significantly sooner than wild-type flies. Even with dietary inositol the homozygous inosΔDF males are sterile. An inos allele, with a P-element inserted into the first intron, fails to complement this male sterile phenotype. An additional copy of the Inos gene inserted into another chromosome rescues all the phenotypes. These genetic and phenotypic analyses establish D. melanogaster as an excellent model organism in which to examine the role of inositol synthesis in development and reproduction.
The Sleep Inbred Panel, a Collection of Inbred Drosophila melanogaster with Extreme Long and Short Sleep Duration
Authors: Serrano Negron Yazmin L , Hansen Nancy F , Harbison Susan T 
Published: July 2018

Abstract
Understanding how genomic variation causes differences in observable phenotypes remains a major challenge in biology. It is difficult to trace the sequence of events originating from genomic variants to changes in transcriptional responses or protein modifications. Ideally, one would conduct experiments with individuals that are at either extreme of the trait of interest, but such resources are often not available. Further, advances in genome editing will enable testing of candidate polymorphisms individually and in combination. Here we have created a resource for the study of sleep with 39 inbred lines of Drosophila—the Sleep Inbred Panel (SIP). SIP lines have stable long- and short-sleeping phenotypes developed from naturally occurring polymorphisms. These lines are fully sequenced, enabling more accurate targeting for genome editing and transgenic constructs. This panel facilitates the study of intermediate transcriptional and proteomic correlates of sleep, and supports genome editing studies to verify polymorphisms associated with sleep duration.

The aim of this article is to present professors and their most prominent graduates of Polish Philology Department from the Stefan Batory University and to outline the history of Polish studies operating at the University of Vilnius from 1993. The last 25 years of Polish philology has been a continuation of the glorious inter-war traditions where Vilnius’ philologists – along with others from Warsaw, Cracow, Poznan, Lublin and Lviv – created a thriving scientific community. The scholars’ personalities who worked at SBU determined the direction of research and didactics development. They understood social service as wide dissemination of science and culture. This formed a new type of academic teachers who combine the qualities of a scholar and knowledge spreader. The same exact ideals are guided today by the employees of the Centre of Polish Studies at the University of Vilnius.

The Menaion has a profound value in the history of Slavic languages. Previous literature applies linguistic-textological methodology to reveal a textological typology of Menaia. On the contrary, this article uses data-driven methods to classify these Old Slavic manuscripts. A vector space model is established to analyse ten Menaia manuscripts represented by a common text fragment. Analysis of various distance measures reveals similarity and differences among the analyzed manuscripts.

Published: July 2018

AbstractIndonesia is a multicultural, multi-ethnic and multi-religious pluralist country where Islam is where Islam is one of religion that exists. Islam in Indonesia is not present in the blank area but there have been earlier traditions and religions and then later alive and thriving, interact with one another and live in harmoniously. The most powerful pull of religious values and traditions is marriage. This research aims to analyze the runway used by the Bugis in Bulukumba Regency in setting mahar and paenre’, understanding the point of view of the Bugis society’s point of view life related to the dowry and paenre and its relation to life ', and explain and synergy and knowing the correlation of Islam acting against dowry and paenre’ in the understanding of the Bugis community. The result showed that the mahar and paenre’ in Bugis society determined based on the social strata of the bride, not only caused by a noble, but it likewise from of the position, job or educational level has reached. Behind of it, there is a philosophical meaning in the form of local wisdom values that can integrate or harmonious and synergize with the Islamic teachingKeywords: Mahar, Paenre’, Women, Social Strata, Bugis, Bulukumba. Abstrak: Indonesia adalah negara pluralis yang multikultural, multietnis, dan multi agama dimana Islam salah satu agama yang ada didalamnya. Islam hadir di Indonesia bukan di wilayah kosong, tetapi sudah terdapat tradisi dan agama sebelumnya dan kemudian hidup dan berkembang, berinteraksi satu dengan lain dan hidup secara harmonis. Dan bagian yang paling kuat tarikan nilai agama dan sekaligus tradisi adalah perkawinan. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menganalisis landasan yang digunakan oleh masyarakat Bugis di Kabupaten Bulukumba dalam menetapkan mahar dan paenre’, memahami sudut pandang masyarakat Bugis di Bulukumba, hubungannya dengan kehidupan, untuk mendapatkan perspektif mengenai dunianya, yang berkaitan dengan mahar dan paenre’, serta menjelaskan dan mensinergikan serta mengetahui korelasi pandangan Islam tehadap mahar dan paenre’ dalam pemahaman masyarakat Bugis. Hasil penelitian ini menunjukkan bahwa mahar dan paenre’ dalam masyarakat Bugis ditentukan berdasarkan strata sosial pengantin perempuan, namun strata sosial disini tidak hanya disebabkan oleh karena ia keturunan bangsawan, melainkan dapat juga disebabkan karena jabatan, pekerjaan ataupun jenjang pendidikan yang telah ditempuh. Dibalik itu terdapat makna filosofis yang terkandung di dalamnya berupa nilai-nilai kearifan lokal yang dapat harmonis dan terintegrasi ataupun bersinergi dengan ajaran Islam.Kata Kunci: Mahar, Paenre’, strata sosial perempuan, Bugis, Bulukumba.

Published: July 2018

Background. In the last decade, we observed a significant increase in the number of patients undergoing radiotherapy for prostate cancer (PC). It became possible with the development of new equipment that can significantly increase radiation efficiency and reduce the frequency and severity of side effects. Active investigation of new fractionation regimens led to the development of stereotactic radiotherapy (StR) technique. In this article, we describe our own experience of using StR in patients with localized PC.Material and methods. The study included 48 patients treated with CyberKnife robotic radiosurgery system. The patients received a total dose of 36.25 Gy delivered in 5 fractions.Results. At a median follow-up of 24 months, the estimated four-year prostate-specific antigen (PSA) relapse-free survival rate was 95.8 %. The median PSA nadir was 0.48 ng/mL. We observed no grade III–IV side effects (either early or late).Conclusion. Our results suggest that the use of StR allows achieving good biochemical control comparable to that achieved by other methods and demonstrates comparable and sometimes even lower toxicity.

Objective: to develop an effective and safe surgical technique for the treatment of patients with renal cell carcinoma with invasive tumor venous thrombosis of the inferior vena cava (IVC).Materials and methods. The study included 75 patients underwent surgical treatment at the N.N. Blokhin Russian Cancer Research Center between 1995 and 2017. The median age of patients was 57 years (range: 32–72 years). All patients were diagnosed with RCC with invasive tumor venous thrombosis levels II–IV; of them, 55 patients (73.3 %) had complete IVC obstruction and mature venous collaterals. Twenty- seven patients (26.0 %) were diagnosed with regional, 37 (49.3 %) – with distant metastases. Prior nephrectomy was performed in 5 (6.7 %) cases. Surgical treatment included nephrectomy (n = 70; 93.3 %), thrombectomy with IVC resection (n = 75; 100 %), and metastasectomy in solitary distant lesions (n = 11; 14.7 %). Partial IVC resection was demanded in 18 patients (24.0 %): with infrarenal IVC plication – 14 (18.7 %), with reconstruction of IVC with synthetic patch – 4 (5.3 %). Fifty-seven patients (76.0 %) underwent circular IVC resection (with left renal vein (LRV) ligation – 35 (46.7 %)). The IVC was replaced with ePTFE grafts in 4 (5.3 %) patients, IVC reconstruction was not required in 53 (70.7 %) patients. IVC grafting was considered to be justified in patients without mature venous collaterals. Twenty-two patients (29.3 %) received systemic antitumor therapy. Median follow-up was 32.3 months (range: 1–226 months).Results. Median operative time was 237.5 min (range: 135–580 min); median blood loss – 7000 mL (range: 1200–27 000 mL). The post- operative complications rate was 52.1 % (grades III–V – 31.5 %). Hospital mortality was 13.3 % (10 of 75 patients). Thirty-two months overall, cancer-specific, and recurrence-free survival were 42.4 %, 49.5 %, and 61.2 % respectively. At 19 months all prosthesis were patent. None of the patients had glomerular filtration rate <60 ml/min/1.73 m2 after LRV ligation. No patients developed disabling chronic venous insufficiency of the lower limbs after IVC ligation/resection without grafting.Conclusion. Nephrectomy, thrombectomy, and IVC resection is the only effective method of treatment for RCC with invasive tumor venous thrombosis. The development of IVC and LRV venous collaterals allows performing circular IVC resection with LRV ligation without graft replacement.
