‘To be Meat, But to Change into Light’: Disgust as a Means of Shaping the Female Character in Maria’s Morning and Other Stories by Julia Fiedorczuk
Authors: Klimek Ilona 
Published: November 2017

Summary
This article examines the identity strategies of women depicted in Poranek Marii i inne opowia dania (Maria’s Morning and Other Stories) [2010] by Julia Fiedorczuk. Driven by disgust and shuttling between the corporeal and the spiritual, they represent a model of subjectivity rooted in a nomadic and symphonic sense of being. The article’s approach redefines the initial formula ‘to be meat, but to change into light’ and points to key moments when their stories are illuminated by a hope to overcome the crippling disgust and to adopt a new understanding of the female existence.
The Concept of Temperament and the theory of Humours in the Renaissance
Authors: Raubo Agnieszka 
Published: November 2017

Summary
This article tries to reconstruct the concept of temperament (complexia) and its links to the theory of four humours in Polish and European Renaissance writings (e.g., both Andrzej Glaber, Szymon of Łowicz, Wojciech Oczko and Johannes ab Indagine). The analysis covers the alleged influence of four liquids (black bile, yellow bile, phlegm, and blood) on a person’s body, the empirical methods of identifying one’s temperament, and the Renaissance typology of temperaments (including such categories as ‘good’, ‘bad’, or ‘strong’ humours) and their interpenetration. The article also examines the close relationship between the theory of humours and astrology. Renaissance scholars believed that movements and relative positions of celestial bodies were a key factor in determining any given temperament.
Lyric for the Rulers, Lyric for the People: The Transformation of Some Lyric Subgenres in Hellenistic Poetry
Authors: Barbantani Silvia 
Published: November 2017

Abstract:This is a meticulous survey of the reception of some lyric subgenres in Hellenistic poetry and it is meant to be the first of a series of contributions on the subject. Leaving aside lyric in a religious context, the paper is divided into two main sections, namely lyric poetry composed for rulers and lyric poetry written for everyday people. In the new social context lyric poetry was intended for presentation in the royal symposia. The Alexandrians wrote all types of occasional lyric poetry (
Harpacticoida (Crustacea, Copepoda) of Mussel Beds and Macroalgae on the Rocky Substrates in the North-Western Black Sea
Authors: Portianko V. V. 
Published: November 2017

Abstract
The role of harpacticoid copepods in total abundance, biomass and species diversity of meiobenthos on rocky substrates is described. Th e fauna of harpacticoid copepods consists of 19 species in algal beds, 23 species in mussel beds and 24 species in mixed aggregation of molluscs and macrophytes. In the macrophyte aggregation, the maximal abundance was registered in Cladophora vagabunda - 88 750 ind. × m-2, while minimal was on Laurensia paniculata - 8250 ind. × m-2. According to the frequency of occurrence, the habitat preferred by copepods was Ceramium elegans, but according to their percentage in total meiobenthos among macrophytes it was Ulva intestinalis, 56.6 %. The percentage of copepods in the pure mussel beds was higher comparing to mixed aggregation of molluscs and macrophytes.
The Expansion of the Blackbird, Turdus Merula (Passeriformes, Muscicapidae), in the Steppe Zone of Ukraine
Authors: Tsvelykh A. N. 
Published: November 2017

Abstract
The distribution of Turdus merula in the steppe zone of Ukraine is studied. The expansion of its range occurred in the steppe zone in artificial forestations, many of which have been established as early as the second half of the 19th century. However, the Blackbird expansion in the steppe zone of the Left-bank and Right-bank Ukraine started only in the middle of the 20th century, and in the Crimean steppe zone only to the end of the 20th century. Now, the southern border of this species’ range in the Left -bank Ukraine is almost at the northern coasts of the Black and Azov seas. In the Right-bank Ukraine its range is already at the seashore. In the Crimean steppe zone, the range expanded to the North of the forests of mountainous Crimea. The Blackbird populations farthest from the mountainous forests are found in artificial forest plantings at the northern and eastern borders of the peninsula. The species is absent from the western and north-western steppes of the Crimea.
Evaluating the Rutting Performance of Geosynthetic Reinforced Pavement Containing Rubberized Asphalt Mixtures

Published: November 2017

Abstract
Asphalt-pavement rutting is one of the most commonly observed pavement distresses where crumb rubber could be used to decrease this distress. This research illustrates methods of improving the behavior of flexible pavements with a crumb-rubber modifier in asphalt mixtures and with geosynthetic reinforcement in pavements to protect against rutting. The scope of this research is to predict the rutting depth of pavements containing conventional asphalt with a geosynthetic layer using a 3D model an ABAQUS finite-element (FE) program, and compare that with the rutting depth of pavements containing rubberized asphalt. A dynamic creep test was performed on different specimens to obtain material parameters of low creep power. For each type, a model was developed and then the finite-element method was used to estimate the rut depth of a pavement structure by incorporating realistic material properties of a geosynthetic, asphalt mixture, and base, subbase, and subgrade layers. The results show that crumb rubber causes reduction in rut depth by 36 %. By conducting analytical finite-element modeling in ABAQUS, it found that using geosynthetic in the bottom of the first-, second-, third-, and fourth-quarter causes rut-depth reduction of 74 %, 68 %, 34 %, and 0.5 %, respectively. Therefore, using the geosynthetics on a pavement containing conventional asphalt mixtures is an effective way of decreasing the rut depth.
Development of an Equibiaxial Tensile Test Device and Associated Test Method for Parameter Identification of Hyperelastic Ogden Model of Soft Material

Published: November 2017

Abstract
Three different tensile tests are required to characterize a soft solid material that exhibits large deformations under external loading. The tensile tests include the uniaxial tensile, planar tensile, and equibiaxial tensile tests. In this study, a novel equibiaxial tensile test device was developed, and a test method combining the test device and a universal testing machine was proposed. Additionally, uniaxial tensile, planar tensile, and equibiaxial tensile tests of a silicone rubber were conducted, and stress-strain curves obtained from the three tests were then utilized to identify the parameter values of the hyperelastic Ogden model. The parameter values were validated by reconstructing the three tests in a finite element analysis software via the identified hyperelastic Ogden model. The findings indicated that the simulation results were in strong agreement with the test results. This validated the test method and the identified hyperelastic Ogden model. Furthermore, parameter values identified only by the uniaxial tensile test were used to perform the reconstruction analysis. The results of the analysis indicated that it was important to incorporate results from several types of tensile tests in the parameter identification process in order to obtain better simulation results.
Photocatalytic Activity of N-Doped TiO2 to Vehicle Exhaust in Road Tunnel
Authors: Wang T. , Xu T. 
Published: November 2017

Abstract
The nitrogen (N)-doped titanium dioxide (TiO2) was synthesized to use as raw materials of coating on the tunnel lining and pavement to purify vehicle exhaust (VE) in a road tunnel. To study photocatalytic activity of N-doped TiO2 to VE, its morphology, surface area, and optical properties were characterized. Then photocatalytic activity tests of TiO2 to VE were conducted under ultraviolet (UV) and visible light irradiation, respectively. Results indicated that the prepared TiO2 showed spherical nanoparticles with the grain size range of 13–16 nm and the agglomeration of TiO2 nanoparticles was decreased with the increase in N-dopant concentration. Synthesized pure and N-doped TiO2 only contain an anatase phase. Also, N-doped TiO2 exhibited higher optical absorptions in UV and visible light region, and the optical absorption edges of N-doped TiO2 present obvious red shift. Additionally, N-doped TiO2 showed higher photocatalytic activity to VE than pure TiO2 under UV and visible light irradiation. The degradation efficiencies of N-doped TiO2 to NOx and HC were higher than those to CO2 and CO in VE under UV light irradiation because of the reversible reaction between CO2 and CO. Furthermore, N-doped TiO2 showed a higher photocatalytic activity to CO2 than that to CO under visible light irradiation, but the reversible reaction was not found. All photocatalytic reactions followed the first-order kinetics in the photocatalytic degradation of VE. It is believed that the N doping is a promising method to improve the photocatalytic activity of TiO2 to VE under visible light irradiation for the air purification in a road tunnel.

AbstractSynapse formation analyses can be performed by imaging and quantifying fluorescent signals of synaptic markers. Traditionally, these analyses are done using simple or multiple thresholding and segmentation approaches or by labor-intensive manual analysis by a human observer. Here, we describeIntellicount, a high-throughput, fully-automated synapse quantification program which applies a novel machine learning (ML)-based image processing algorithm to systematically improve region of interest (ROI) identification over simple thresholding techniques. Through processing large datasets from both human and mouse neurons, we demonstrate that this approach allows image processing to proceed independently of carefully set thresholds, thus reducing the need for human intervention. As a result, this method can efficiently and accurately process large image datasets with minimal interaction by the experimenter, making it less prone to bias and less liable to human error. Furthermore,Intellicountis integrated into an intuitive graphical user interface (GUI) that provides a set of valuable features, including automated and multifunctional figure generation, routine statistical analyses, and the ability to run full datasets through nested folders, greatly expediting the data analysis process.
No princípio era o corpo: em defesa do corpo complexo
Authors: Neves Kroeff Mayer Valéria 
Published: November 2017

A temática do corpo antecede o discurso de temas como gênero, preconceito, bullying, raça, pessoas com deficiência, entre outros assuntos fundamentais de serem pensados e abordados pelos educadores. O corpo histórico, político e cultural se constrói sobre o corpo biológico e se complexifica com ele. Esse é um fato que, embora encontre certa resistência no campo da educação, não pode ser negado. Segundo Damásio (2012, p. 93), “qualquer que seja a questão que possamos levantar sobre quem somos e por que somos como somos, uma coisa é certa: somos organismos vivos complexos [e] com um corpo”. Assim sendo, compreender a experiência humana como uma experiência corpórea não é biologizar o diálogo e sim a possibilidade de torna-lo mais complexo. O discurso do corpo, nos muitos campos que versam sobre ele, é frequentemente fragmentado, uma vez que as ciências da saúde ocupam-se em estudar apenas o corpo biológico, achando, por vezes, enfadonho falar do corpo enquanto construto social, histórico e político. As ciências humanas e sociais, por sua vez, ocupam-se do corpo que é construído e constituído social, histórica e culturalmente, desprezando o corpo biológico, como se todo seu construto pudesse acontecer sem essa entidade, que é o corpo físico, orgânico, biológico. O que se propõe ao longo deste texto é fazer uma análise do percurso histórico da fragmentação dos estudos do corpo, bem como propor um outro modo de pensar, contextualizado historicamente e que percebe a necessidade de religar saberes para que seja possível pensar o corpo sem dissolver a multiplicidade complexa que é o humano. Não se trata aqui de incluir o corpo nos temas abordados pela educação, pois o corpo já está incluído na educação.
O rol do equipo de orientación específico nos trastornos da conduta
Authors: Abalo Quintela José Enrique 
Published: November 2017

A conciencia social sobre os problemas de conduta e a convivencia nos centros educativos aumentou significativamente nos últimos anos. Esta circunstancia provocou que se activasen unha serie de vías formativas, marcos normativos e recursos de apoio aos centros para xestionar adecuadamente esta preocupación. Este artigo analiza un deses recursos de apoio, os equipos de orientación específicos, onde existen profesionais dedicados a colaborar, cos departamentos de orientación dos centros e coa comunidade educativa en xeral, na construción de contornos de ensinanza-aprendizaxe adecuados para posibilitar a aprendizaxe, pois convivencia e aprendizaxe condiciónanse mutuamente.Comezaremos explicando o rol que está previsto que desempeñe este servizo, describindo o encaixe do mesmo no modelo de orientación deseñado para a Comunidade Autónoma de Galicia: funcións, liñas previstas de intervención, así como os protocolos xerais a seguir.O núcleo principal do artigo expón os principios nos que inciden as intervencións. Destacando a importancia de colaborar coas institucións escolares na creación de culturas inclusivas, actuacións proactivas e metodoloxías colaborativas e cooperativas como vías eficaces para xerar climas escolares onde se favoreza a comunicación, o respecto mutuo, o diálogo e o protagonismo dos distintos actores que interaccionan neses espazos.

Abstract
Influenza A virus (IAV) is a respiratory pathogen that causes substantial morbidity and mortality during both seasonal and pandemic outbreaks. Infection outcomes in unexposed populations are affected by host genetics, but the host genetic architecture is not well understood. Here, we obtain a broad view of how heritable factors affect a mouse model of response to IAV infection using an 8 × 8 diallel of the eight inbred founder strains of the Collaborative Cross (CC). Expanding on a prior statistical framework for modeling treatment response in diallels, we explore how a range of heritable effects modify acute host response to IAV through 4 d postinfection. Heritable effects in aggregate explained ∼57% of the variance in IAV-induced weight loss. Much of this was attributable to a pattern of additive effects that became more prominent through day 4 postinfection and was consistent with previous reports of antiinfluenza myxovirus resistance 1 (Mx1) polymorphisms segregating between these strains; these additive effects largely recapitulated haplotype effects observed at the Mx1 locus in a previous study of the incipient CC, and are also replicated here in a CC recombinant intercross population. Genetic dominance of protective Mx1 haplotypes was observed to differ by subspecies of origin: relative to the domesticus null Mx1 allele, musculus acts dominantly whereas castaneus acts additively. After controlling for Mx1, heritable effects, though less distinct, accounted for ∼34% of the phenotypic variance. Implications for future mapping studies are discussed.

Published: November 2017

OBJECTIVES:To assess whether children with medical complexity (CMC) exposed to a hospital-based comprehensive case management service (CCMS) experience improved health care quality, improved functional status, reduced hospital-based utilization, and/or reduced overall health care costs.METHODS:Eligible CMC at Seattle Children’s Hospital were enrolled in a cluster randomized controlled trial between December 1, 2010, and September 29, 2014. Participating primary care providers (PCPs) were randomly assigned, and CMC either had access to an outpatient hospital-based CCMS or usual care directed by their PCP. The CCMS included visits to a multidisciplinary clinic ≥ every 6 months for 1.5 years, an individualized shared care plan, and access to CCMS providers. Differences between control and intervention groups in change from baseline to 12 months and baseline to 18 months (difference of differences) were tested.RESULTS:Two hundred PCPs caring for 331 CMC were randomly assigned. Intervention group (n = 181) parents reported more improvement in the Consumer Assessment of Healthcare Providers and Systems version 4.0 Child Health Plan Survey global health care quality ratings than control group parents (6.7 [95% confidence interval (CI): 3.5–9.8] vs 1.3 [95% CI: 1.9–4.6] at 12 months). We did not detect significant differences in child functional status and most hospital-based utilization between groups. The difference in change of overall health care costs was higher in the intervention group (+$8233 [95% CI: $1701–$16 937]) at 18 months). CCMS clinic costs averaged $3847 per child-year.CONCLUSIONS:Access to a CCMS generally improved health care quality, but was not associated with changes in child functional status or hospital-based utilization, and increased overall health care costs among CMC.

Abstract

Background
The management of localized extremity soft tissue sarcomas (STS) is challenging and the role of pre- and postoperative chemotherapy is unclear and debated among experts.

Materials and Methods
Medical oncology experts of the European Organization for Research and Treatment of Cancer Soft Tissue and Bone Sarcoma Group were asked to participate in this survey on the use of pre- and postoperative chemotherapy in STS. Experts from 12 centers in Belgium, France, Germany, Great Britain, Italy, Switzerland, and The Netherlands agreed to participate and provided their treatment algorithm. Answers were converted into decision trees based on the objective consensus methodology. The decision trees were used as a basis to identify consensus and discrepancies.

Results
Several criteria used for decision-making in extremity STS were identified: chemosensitivity, fitness, grading, location, and size. In addition, resectability and resection status were relevant in the pre- and postoperative setting, respectively. Preoperative chemotherapy is considered in most centers for marginally resectable tumors only. Yet, in some centers, neoadjuvant chemotherapy is used routinely and partially combined with hyperthermia. Although most centers do not recommend postoperative chemotherapy, some offer this treatment on a regular basis. Radiotherapy is an undisputed treatment modality in extremity STS.

Conclusion
Due to lacking evidence on the utility of pre- and postoperative chemotherapy in localized extremity STS, treatment strategies vary considerably among European experts. The majority recommended neoadjuvant chemotherapy for marginally resectable grade 2–3 tumors; the majority did not recommend postoperative chemotherapy in any setting.

Implications for Practice
The management of localized extremity soft tissue sarcomas (STS) is challenging and the role of pre- and postoperative chemotherapy is unclear and debated among experts. This study analyzed the decision-making process among 12 European experts on systemic therapy for STS. A wide range of recommendations among experts regarding the use of perioperative chemotherapy was discovered. Discrepancies in the use of decision criteria were also uncovered, including the definition of what constitutes high-risk cancer, which is a basis for many to recommend chemotherapy. Before any standardization is possible, a common use of decision criteria is necessary.

Published: November 2017

Introdução: Visando promover o bem estar da população transexual, mundialmente há alterações nas recomendações de condutas clínicas. Os critérios para os tratamentos visam minimizar os efeitos da Disforia de Gênero desta população resguardando-lhes o direito à dignidade humana, e devem ser adotados pelas condições de elegibilidade e de presteza; dentre eles, a complexa Cirurgia de transgenitalização. Objetivo: Discutir a atípica situação de sujeito transexual que não deseja passar pelo procedimento cirúrgico. Método: Emprego de entrevista qualitativa que visou estudar as relações dos significados atribuídos pelo sujeito da pesquisa. Resultados: Relato de Caso descritivo de sujeito que se contrapõe a um dos elementos do diagnóstico psiquiátrico de transexualismo: atendendo aos critérios de elegibilidade à transgenitalização prefere conservar suas características físicas, mas mantém uma atitude positiva em relação ao seu corpo devido a eficiência de suas defesas psicológicas. Conclusão: Este caso nos convida a refletir que a mudança de sexo, apesar de aliviar a disforia de gênero, pode não ser suficiente como tratamento para o transexual. A recomendação do tratamento deve ir além da elegibilidade e deve avaliar o préstimo ofertado à qualidade de vida do sujeito dentro de novas perspectivas despatologizadas promovidas por entidades de cuidado humanitário na área da saúde. Introduction: Intending to promote the welfare of the transsexual population there are worldwide changes in clinical management recommendations. The criteria for treatments aim at minimizing the effects of Gender Dysphoria of this population safeguarding their right to human dignity and shall be adopted by the conditions of eligibility and readiness; the complex sex reassignment surgery is among these treatments. Objective: To discuss the atypical situation of a transsexual subject who does not want to go through the surgical procedure. Method: Use of qualitative interview aimed at studying the relationships of meanings attributed by the research subject. Results: Descriptive Case Report of atypical subject opposed to one of the elements of the psychiatric diagnosis of transsexualism: meeting the eligibility criteria for gender reassignment, prefers to keep its physical characteristics but maintains a positive attitude to the body due to its efficient psychological defenses. Conclusion: This case invites us to reflect that sex change, although alleviating gender dysphoria, may not be sufficient as a treatment for the transsexual. The treatment recommendation must go beyond the eligibility and must assess the benefit offered to the quality of life of the subject within unpathologized new perspectives promoted by humanitarian organizations in health care.
