Planarian Regeneration in Response to Drug Disruption of the Wnt and MAPK Pathways
Authors: Shen Yong , Etheridge Thomas , Hsu Eric , Kaushal Shankar 
Published: May 2017

The regenerative ability of planarians depends largely on its complex signaling pathways. The Wnt pathway regulates the A/P polarity formation after regeneration, while the MAPK pathway plays a role in regeneration. This experiment uses various drugs to disrupt the aforementioned pathways. Imatinib targets the RTKs, which play a role in the Wnt pathway. PZQ is expected to affect the Wnt noncanonical calcium pathway. EHT 1864 inhibits Rac1, a GTPase involved in the noncanonical PCP pathway. Finally, U0126 disrupts the MAPK pathway whose activity induces blastemic cell differentiation. After drug treatment, abnormal planarian regeneration is expected. The drug assays showed that while both Imatinib and PZQ have no effect on planarian regeneration, EHT 1864 under high concentration has a potent effect on the viability of planarians during regeneration. Furthermore, U0126 caused cyclopia in planarians under high concentrations. These observations suggest that the RTKs play a limited role in planarian regeneration, Rac1 plays a greater role than just A/P determination during regeneration, and that U0126 affects eye and head regeneration. Our findings also show an inconsistency with another research group’s study regarding the effects of PZQ on planarian polarity formation. L’abilité regénérative des planaires dépend largement sur la complexité des ses voies de signalisation. La voie des Wnt contrôle la formation de la polarité des potentiels d’action après la regénération, alors que la voie de la MAPK joue un rôle dans la regénération. L’imatinib cible les RTK, eux-mêmes jouant un rôle dans la voie des Wnt. Praziquantel est attendu d’affecter la voie de calcium non canonique des Wnt. L’EHT 1864 inhibe la Rac1, un GTPase impliqué dans la voie non canonique du PCP. Finalement, U0126 perturbe la voie de la MAPK, l’activité de laquelle induit la différentiation des cellules souches blastémiques. Après traitement avec de la drogue, de la regénération anormale des planaires est attendue. Les essais des drogues ont démontré que, bien que Imatinib et PZQ n’ont pas d’effets sur la regénération des planaires, l’EHT 1864 en haute concentration a un effet potent sur la viabilité des planaires durant la regénération. De plus, l’U0126 a causé la cyclopie chez les planaires en haute concentration. Ces observations suggère que les RTK jouent un rôle limité dans la regénération de planaires, la Rac1 joue un rôle plus important que simplement déterminer des potentiels d’action durant la regénération et l’U0126 affecte les regénérations des yeux et de la tête. Nos découvertes indiquent aussi des incohérences avec une étude par un autre groupe au sujet des effets du PZQ sur la formation polaire des planaires.
Baha’u’llah as fulfilment of the theophanic promise in the Sermons of Imam ‘Alí ibn Abí Ṭálib. Translation of al Ṭutunjiyya, Iftikhár and Ma’rifat bin-Nurániyyat
Authors: Fananapazir Khazeh 
Published: May 2017

Abstract
In the traditions of the Twelver Branch of Islám or Imámí Shi'ism in particular, three sermons of Imám ʿAlí stand out as pivotal in their contribution to the Bahá’í writings. These are known as the sermons of Ṭutunjiyyih [the Gulf ), Nurániyyat [Recognition through Luminousness], and Iftikhár [Glorification]. They hold tremendous theological importance, and, down the centuries, have had a magnetic effect on Shi'ih religious thought. The author of the book that contains these three sermons, Ḥafiz Rajab al Bursi (died 1411 CE), held a very high view of the station of the Imams, Likewise these texts vere highly valorized by Shaykh Aḥmad and Siyyid Kazim, Sayyid `Alí Muhammad, the Bab and Mirza Husayn ʿAli, Baha’u’lllah respectively.
Notes for a Typology of Monotheism
Authors: Bausani Alessandro , Savi Julio 
Published: May 2017

Abstract
Alessandro Bausani was an Italian Baha’i, philologist and scholar at the University of Rome. A small but important part of his literary production was concerned with studies of the Babi-Baha’i Faith. He produced two well regarded papers on the origins and relations between various monotheisms in which he situates the Babi-Baha’i movement vis a vis other great religious systems. The first article was published in Italian as Bausani, Alessandro (1957). Note per una tipologia del monoteismo. Studi e materiali di storia delle religioni (Rome) 28: 67–88. That article is translated here because of its relevance to Baha’i Studies. See also the companion article: Alessandro Bausani (1963).

The 1893 Russian Publication of Baha’u’llah’s Last Will and Testament: An Academic Attestation of ‘Abdu’l-Baha’s Successorship
Authors: Buck Christopher , Ioannesyan Youli A. 
Published: May 2017

Abstract
This study concerns the publication of a document that may well be unique in the history of religions: the written designation of a successor by the charismatic founder of a world religion. Mīrzā Ḥusayn-‘Alī (1817–1892), known as Bahā’-Allāh (more commonly, Baha’u’llah, ‘Splendor of God’), prophet–founder of the Bahā’ī Faith. In the Kitāb-i ‘Ahdī (‘Book of My Covenant’), Baha’u’llah designated his eldest son, ‘Abbās Effendī, known as ‘Abdu’l-Bahā (1844–1921), as successor. Baha’u’llah died on 29 May 1892 (at 3:00 a.m.) in Bahjī (near ‘Akkā), Palestine (now modern-day Israel), and the Kitāb-i ‘Ahdī was read aloud nine days later. In 1893, Russian orientalist, Aleksandr Grigor’evich Tumanski (1861–1920) published this document, in the original Persian, with Russian translation, together with a eulogy composed by the celebrated Bahā’ī poet, Mīrzā ‘Alī-Ashraf-i Lāhījānī, known by his sobriquet, ‘Andalīb (‘Nightingale’; d. 1920). Since ‘Andalīb was an eyewitness to the events he describes, his eulogy may be treated as a historical source. Tumanski’s scholarly publication of the Kitāb-i ‘Ahdī is discussed in the context of Russian scholarly and diplomatic interests. The present study is presented as follows: (1) Introduction; (2) Aleksandr Grigor’evich Tumanski; (3) Contents of the Kitāb-i ‘Ahdī and Brief Commentary; (4) ‘Andalīb’s Eyewitness Account of the Reading of the Kitāb-i ‘Ahdī, 1892; (5) The St. Petersburg Edition of the Kitāb-i ‘Ahdī; (6) The Original Manuscript of the Kitāb-i ‘Ahdī and the Textus Receptus; (7) Textual Variants Between the St. Petersburg Edition of the Kitāb-i ‘Ahdī and the Textus Receptus; (8) The Cambridge Manuscript of the Kitāb-i ‘Ahdī in the E. G. Browne Collection; and (9) Conclusion: Contemporary-Historical Attestation of ‘Abdu’l-Baha’s Successorship by Tumanski and other Russian Notables
Laser interference patterning methods: Possibilities for high-throughput fabrication of periodic surface patterns
Authors: Lasagni Andrés Fabián 
Published: May 2017

Abstract
Fabrication of two- and three-dimensional (2D and 3D) structures in the micro- and nano-range allows a new degree of freedom to the design of materials by tailoring desired material properties and, thus, obtaining a superior functionality. Such complex designs are only possible using novel fabrication techniques with high resolution, even in the nanoscale range. Starting from a simple concept, transferring the shape of an interference pattern directly to the surface of a material, laser interferometric processing methods have been continuously developed. These methods enable the fabrication of repetitive periodic arrays and microstructures by irradiation of the sample surface with coherent beams of light. This article describes the capabilities of laser interference lithographic methods for the treatment of both photoresists and solid materials. Theoretical calculations are used to calculate the intensity distributions of patterns that can be realized by changing the number of interfering laser beams, their polarization, intensity and phase. Finally, different processing systems and configurations are described and, thus, demonstrating the possibility for the fast and precise tailoring of material surface microstructures and topographies on industrial relevant scales as well as several application cases for both methods.

Published: May 2017

Abstract
International collaboration varies across the world. Your first reaction when hearing those words—international collaboration—may lead you to myriad different thoughts and ideas: research institutions, famous scientists, your own coworkers, or even airports –flying through Tesla International Airport in Serbia, you can’t help it! When reading this article, however, IUPAC is probably the first thing that comes to mind. IUPAC has the ability to bring together scientists, crossing nations and borders in the pursuit of knowledge. Early career chemists, however, often do not know how to breach these barriers to start their international scientific journey.

Spectral studies of silver nanoparticles biosynthesized by Origanum majorana
Authors: Zahran Moustafa , El-Kemary Maged , Khalifa Shaden , El-Seedi Hesham 
Published: May 2017

AbstractSilver nanoparticles (AgNPs) were biologically synthesized in an eco-friendly manner using aqueous leaf extract ofOriganum majoranaplant and silver nitrate (AgNO3) solution. Size, shape, and crystallinity of the biosynthesized AgNPs were determined by using a transmission electron microscope (TEM). Zeta potential analyzer was used to prove the stability of the metallic nanoparticles, while Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy was used to identify the bioreducing and capping agents. AgNPs were electrochemically investigated using cyclic voltammetry (CV), while the optical properties of the metallic nanoparticles were studied using UV-Vis and fluorescence spectroscopies. According to TEM images, AgNPs are spherical with an average size of 35 nm. TEM also refers to the presence of mono and polycrystalline AgNPs. The value of zeta potential (−39 mV) proved the stability of AgNPs caused by capping molecules ofO. majoranaplant. CV studies showed that AgNPs were electrochemically investigated at 0.39 mV. AgNPs showed a surface plasmon resonance peak at 440 nm, while the emission peak was detected at 466 nm. These nanoparticles are promising for many industrial and medical applications.
A systematic review of assessments for procedural skills in physiotherapy education / Assessment von prozeduralen Fähigkeiten in der physiotherapeutischen Ausbildung: Ein systematischer Review
Authors: Sattelmayer Martin , Hilfiker Roger , Baer Gillian 
Published: May 2017

Abstract

Introduction
Learning of procedural skills is important in the education of physiotherapists. It is the aim of physiotherapy degree programmes that graduates are able to practice selected procedures safely and efficiently. Procedural competency is threatened by an increasing and diverse amount of procedures that are incorporated in university curricula. As a consequence, less time is available for the learning of each specific procedure. Incorrectly performed procedures in physiotherapy might be ineffective and may result in injuries to patients and physiotherapists. The aim of this review was to synthesise relevant literature systematically to appraise current knowledge relating to assessments for procedural skills in physiotherapy education.

Method
A systematic search strategy was developed to screen five relevant databases (CINAHL, Cochrane Central, SportDISCUS, ERIC and MEDLINE) for eligible studies. The included assessments were evaluated for evidence of their reliability and validity.

Results
The search of electronic databases identified 560 potential records. Seven studies were included into this systematic review. The studies reported eight assessments of procedural skills. Six of the assessments were designed for a specific procedure and two assessments were considered for the evaluation of more than one procedure. Evidence to support the measurement properties of the assessment was not available for all categories.

Discussion
It was not possible to recommend a single assessment of procedural skills in physiotherapy education following this systematic review. There is a need for further development of new assessments to allow valid and reliable assessments of the broad spectrum of physiotherapeutic practice
Reduced bone mineral density in Chinese children with phenylketonuria
Authors: Wang Kundi , Shen Ming , Li Honglei , Li Xiaowen , He Chun 
Published: May 2017

AbstractBackground:Phenylketonuria (PKU) is an autosomal recessive metabolic disorder. Dietary control of classic PKU needs restriction of natural proteins. The diet results in unbalanced nutrition, which might affect the physical development of the patients. Our aim was to evaluate bone mineral density (BMD) in children with PKU.Methods:To investigate the BMD of children with PKU, 41 children with PKU and 64 healthy controls were recruited (all 3–4 years of age). Body weight and height, BMD, Phe blood levels, thyroid function, calcium, phosphorus, iron metabolism markers, and vitamin D3 were measured.Results:Body height and BMD of patients were lower than in controls. The BMD of controls was positively associated with age, body weight and height. In patients, BMD was positively associated with body weight. There was no correlation between Phe blood levels and BMD in patients. Blood levels of alkaline phosphatase were higher in patients compared to controls. Blood calcium levels were higher in 4-year-old patients, while the body weight was lower compared to controls. Thyroid function, iron metabolism markers, vitamin D3 levels and IGF-1 levels were normal.Conclusions:Reduced BMD was observed in children with phenylketonuria, but the exact reasons for this remain to be elucidated.

Observing laws through “understanding eyes”
Authors: Condello Angela 
Published: May 2017

AbstractLegal discourse is characterized by many layers of verbal signs that refer, according to the context (historical, social, cultural), to diverse meanings. In this article I discuss two theses. (Th. i.) Law is, like language, based on signs. These signs are like “clues” that suggest possible semantic operations but only through an interpretive process meanings come into being. (Th. ii.) In law, like in ordinary language, signs are the consequence of a necessity, of a need of knowing the world and of ordering it according to categories. In law, this necessity has a peculiar nature because it originates in the decision-making process and because its consequences are normative and produce effects on life and reality; analogical inference offers a good example of the connection between the need to fix the semantic content of verbal signs (often intensional) and the decision-making process. Meanings in legal discourse are thus intersubjective, time-related and are in a permanent relational with the historical interpretant.

Authors: Stein Sebastian , Kersting Marcel , Heletta Lukas , Pöttgen Rainer 
Published: May 2017

Abstract
Eight new intermetallic rare earth-ruthenium-magnesium compounds have been synthesized from the elements in sealed niobium ampoules using different annealing sequences in muffle furnaces. The compounds have been characterized by powder and single crystal X-ray diffraction. Sm9.2Ru6Mg17.8 (a=939.6(2), c=1779(1) pm), Gd11Ru6Mg16 (a=951.9(2), c=1756.8(8) pm), and Tb10.5Ru6Mg16.5 (a=942.5(1), c=1758.3(4) pm) crystallize with the tetragonal Nd9.34Ru6Mg17.66 type structure, space group I4/mmm. This structure exhibits a complex condensation pattern of square-prisms and square-antiprisms around the magnesium and ruthenium atoms, respectively. Y2RuMg2 (a=344.0(1), c=2019(1) pm) and Tb2RuMg2 (a=341.43(6), c=2054.2(7) pm) adopt the Er2RuMg2 structure and Tm3Ru2Mg (a=337.72(9), c=1129.8(4) pm) is isotypic with Sc3Ru2Mg. Tm3Ru2Mg2 (a=337.35(9), c=2671(1) pm) and Lu3Ru2Mg2 (a=335.83(5), c=2652.2(5) pm) are the first ternary ordered variants of the Ti3Cu4 type, space group I4/mmm. These five compounds belong to a large family of intermetallics which are completely ordered superstructures of the bcc subcell. The group-subgroup scheme for Lu3Ru2Mg2 is presented. The common structural motif of all three structure types are ruthenium-centered rare earth cubes reminicent of the CsCl type. Magnetic susceptibility measurements of Y2RuMg2 and Lu3Ru2Mg2 samples revealed Pauli paramagnetism of the conduction electrons.
La financiarización de los hogares bajo el prisma de otras crisis

Published: May 2017

Este artículo busca contribuir al análisis de los procesos de financiarización, entendidos en el sentido de una creciente conexión de las economías de los hogares con las finanzas de mercado. Poniendo el foco en la crisis argentina de 2001, y en especial en el conflicto por las hipotecas al que ella dio origen, el trabajo se propone por un lado llamar la atención sobre las diferentes formas y ritmos que la financiarización ha asumido en distintos contextos nacionales. Al mismo tiempo, y más allá de las especificidades del caso abordado, muestra la productividad del estudio de las crisis para dar cuenta tanto de las modalidades específicas de expansión de las finanzas como de sus consecuencias. Entre ellas, se destaca la conformación de colectivos sociales (en este caso, de deudores hipotecarios) producidos en interacción con el desarrollo de las finanzas, que el artículo examina en particular.
Production Analysis of Tight Sandstone Reservoir in Consideration of Stress-Sensitive Permeability
Authors: Shen Yinghao , Yang Xinyu , Zhang Yuelei 
Published: May 2017

Background:
Tight sandstone reservoirs play an important role in the oil industry. The permeability of tight sandstone reservoir generally has stronger stress sensitivity than that of conventional reservoir because of the latter’s poor physical properties. However, the production analysis of tight sandstone reservoir did not fully considered the stress-sensitive permeability yet.

Objective:
This paper proposed a production analysis method considering the stress- sensitive permeability.

Method:
This paper firtstly investigated the stress sensitivity characteristics and the effect of stress-sensitive permeability on a tight reservoir. Decline-type curves that consider stress-sensitive permeability are then established, and a systematic analysis method was built for the production analysis to obtain the single-well controlled dynamic reserves and reservoir physical properties.

Results:
A field analysis was performed in combination with Block Yuan-284 of Changqing Oilfield. Results show that with the reduction of reservoir pressure, stress sensitivity leads to the decline in reservoir permeability and the increase in seepage resistance, thus reducing the actual single-well controlled reserve and radius.

Conclusion:
By utilizing the analysis method based on the decline curves, we can effectively predict the single-well controlled dynamic reserves of such reservoirs and evaluate the characteristic parameters of reservoirs.
Association of Parameters of Mineral Bone Disorder with Mortality in Patients on Hemodialysis according to Level of Residual Kidney Function

Published: May 2017

Background and objectives
The relationship between mineral and bone disorders and survival according to residual kidney function status has not been previously studied in patients on hemodialysis. We hypothesized that residual kidney function, defined by renal urea clearance, modifies the association between mineral and bone disorder parameters and mortality.

Design, setting, participants, & measurements
The associations of serum phosphorus, albumin-corrected calcium, intact parathyroid hormone, and alkaline phosphatase with all-cause mortality were examined across three strata (<1.5, 1.5 to <3.0, and ≥3.0 ml/min per 1.73 m2) of baseline residual renal urea clearance using Cox models adjusted for clinical characteristics and laboratory measurements in 35,114 incident hemodialysis patients from a large United States dialysis organization over the period of 2007–2011.

Results
A total of 8102 (23%) patients died during the median follow-up of 1.3 years (interquartile range, 0.6–2.3 years). There was an incremental mortality risk across higher serum phosphorus concentrations, which was pronounced among patients with higher residual renal urea clearance (P
interaction=0.001). Lower concentrations of serum intact parathyroid hormone were associated with higher mortality among patients with low residual renal urea clearance (i.e., <1.5 ml/min per 1.73 m2), whereas higher concentrations showed a higher mortality risk among patients with greater residual renal urea clearance (i.e., ≥1.5 ml/min per 1.73 m2; P
interaction<0.001). Higher serum corrected total calcium and higher alkaline phosphatase concentrations consistently showed higher mortality risk (P
trend<0.001 for both) irrespective of residual renal urea clearance strata (P
interaction=0.34 and P
interaction=0.53, respectively).

Conclusions
Residual kidney function modified the mortality risk associated with serum phosphorus and intact parathyroid hormone among incident hemodialysis patients. Future studies are needed to examine whether taking account for residual kidney function into the assessment of mortality risk associated with serum phosphorus and intact parathyroid hormone improves patient management and clinical outcomes in the hemodialysis population.
