The Marketplace of Devotional Song: Cultural Economies of Exchange in Bengali Padāvalī-Kīrtan
Authors: Graves Eben 
Published: February 2017

Abstract
In the past two decades, professional performers of a genre of Hindu devotional song known as padāvalī-kīrtan have begun to introduce a variety of promotional techniques to further their careers. Advertising, media production, and transformations of musical style are but some examples of this trend. These recent changes have spurred journalists, kīrtan scholars, and kīrtan instructors in urban Kolkata to suggest that professional kīrtan musicians are guilty of transforming the musical style of this genre in order to attract new audiences, while further subverting the genre’s association with themes of social prosperity. In this article, I study the social and musical values that surround this debate, as I argue that these negative critiques overlook the ways that money, music, and religious belief are intertwined in the lives of present-day musicians. Theories of musical commodification, neoliberal entrepreneurship, and the influence of capitalism on musical style are considered as I focus on a specific musical style of padāvalī-kīrtan that uses large meters and slow tempos in performance.
Classical Music in Television Commercials: A Social-Psychological Perspective
Authors: Kupfer Peter 
Published: February 2017

AbstractThis article describes a study involving 557 participants that investigated effects of respondents’ sociodemographic background on their rating of appeal and congruency of music in television commercials, with a focus on classical music. Though research indicates that there are connections between listeners’ musical preferences and their social backgrounds, and targeted advertising is premised on the notion that consumers can be divided and marketed to by sociodemographic categories, the results of the study suggest that sociodemographic background may not play a central role when it comes to the processing of music and images together in commercials, whether classical or other. In its use of SurveyMonkey’s Audience service to assemble participants, the study is exploratory in nature, suggesting a potential new resource for research on audiovisual media.
Création néologique en Asie du Sud-Est au contact de l’Occident aux XIXe et XXe siècles
Authors: Jeanmaire Guillaume 
Published: February 2017

Cet article se propose, à travers une étude diachronique réalisée à partir de dictionnaires et d’une base importante de textes anciens japonais et coréens, de montrer comment les concepts issus de la civilisation occidentale et importés ont été nommés en Asie du Sud-Est. Cette étude s’inscrit dans le cadre d’un projet de recherche portant sur la néologie en Corée, au Japon et en Chine. La terminologie au centre de notre étude est indissociable du contexte sociopolitique. La néologie se fait d’abord à l’initiative de missionnaires au XVIIe siècle, puis au XIXe siècle, conduisant à la création de termes religieux, mais aussi scientifiques. Cependant, par un souci de modernisation, c’est le Japon qui contribue le plus à la néologie scientifique, d’abord au contact des Hollandais, et plus encore au moment de l’Ouverture à l’Occident à la fin du XIXe siècle. Par-delà le Japon, les autres pays suivent une évolution parallèle dans la création de néologismes en recourant à des procédés similaires de création lexicale, certes en moindre proportion. Néanmoins, les Chinois, les Coréens et les Vietnamiens empruntent massivement les néologismes créés par les Japonais, par la (re)traduction vers leurs langues respectives d’ouvrages occidentaux traduits en japonais. L’abandon des mots chinois pour les néologismes japonais non seulement par les Coréens, mais aussi par les Chinois eux-mêmes, ainsi que la prédilection des Japonais pour les emprunts phonétiques s’explique par la défaite de la Chine dans la guerre sino-japonaise (1895), mais aussi par le caractère novateur et attrayant des néologismes japonais. Enfin, c’est par souci d’identité linguistique que les Chinois, et surtout les Vietnamiens, créeront leurs propres néologismes après 1919.
Screening of faba bean (Vicia fabaL.) accessions to acidity and aluminium stresses
Authors: Belachew Kiflemariam Y. , Stoddard Frederick L. 
Published: February 2017

BackgroundFaba bean is an important starch-based protein crop produced worldwide. Soil acidity and aluminium toxicity are major abiotic stresses affecting its production, so in regions where soil acidity is a problem, there is a gap between the potential and actual productivity of the crop. Hence, we set out to evaluate acidity and aluminium tolerance in a range of faba bean germplasm using solution culture and pot experiments.MethodsA set of 30 accessions was collected from regions where acidity and aluminium are or are not problems. The accessions were grown in solution culture and a subset of 10 was grown first in peat and later in perlite potting media. In solution culture, morphological parameters including taproot length, root regrowth and root tolerance index were measured, and in the pot experiments the key measurements were taproot length, plant biomass, chlorophyll concentration and stomatal conductance.ResultResponses to acidity and aluminium were apparently independent. Accessions Dosha and NC 58 were tolerant to both stress. Kassa and GLA 1103 were tolerant to acidity showing less than 3% reduction in taproot length. Aurora and Messay were tolerant to aluminium. Babylon was sensitive to both, with up to 40% reduction in taproot length from acidity and no detectable recovery from Al3+challenge.DiscussionThe apparent independence of the responses to acidity and aluminium is in agreement with the previous research findings, suggesting that crop accessions separately adapt to H+and Al3+toxicity as a result of the difference in the nature of soil parent materials where the accession originated. Differences in rankings between experiments were minor and attributable to heterogeneity of seed materials and the specific responses of accessions to the rooting media. Use of perlite as a potting medium offers an ideal combination of throughput, inertness of support medium, access to leaves for detection of their stress responses, and harvest of clean roots for evaluation of their growth.
UM OLHAR ANTROPOLÓGICO SOBRE OS DIREITOS DOS ANIMAIS

Published: February 2017

Para a antropologia, o estudo dos direitos dos animais não humanos se dá apenas na contemporaneidade. Através da quebra de paradigmas, foi possível reconhecer a humanização e a filhotização dos animais de estimação em relação às famílias a que pertencem, a família multiespécie. A história dos animais de estimação evoluiu, sendo fruto de transformação da sociedade e da personalidade dos homens que, reviu seus conceitos de visão utilitarista do animal e trouxe um pouco mais de moralidade no trato dos seres humanos com eles. Porém, ainda não é uma atitude recorrente e a prática de violência contra estes é uma realidade constante em nossa realidade. O especismo, ação violenta do ser humano onde os animais são usados para exploração e para alcance de seus objetivos, é combatido por grupos de defesas animal em especial, os animais domésticos, por ONGs e seus protetores voluntários que desempenham papel importante na ausência de ação do poder público. Quanto à Metodologia, foi utilizada a base lógica indutiva por meio da pesquisa bibliográfica.

Empreendedores Criativos: Uma Análise sobre o Tralhado na Cultura
Authors: Corá Maria Amélia Jundurian 
Published: February 2017

<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">Este artigo tem como finalidade analisar a dinâmica do trabalho criativo dos empreendedores da cultura no Brasil. Neste sentido, serão observadas as práticas e as dificuldades de se trabalhar e constituir novos modelos de negócios para a cultura, destacando valor das atividades culturais e artísticas como empreendedorismo (ELLMEIER, 2003). A partir da vivência dos empreendedores Chico Pelúcio e Ivaldo Bertazzo, é possível compreender as práticas adotadas pelos empreendedores, nas quais se estabelecem códigos e valores culturais que os referenciam como casos bem-sucedidos de modelos inovadores de gestão de produtos culturais, sendo em especial voltados para o teatro e a dança respectivamente. O discurso retórico dos empreendedores estudados nesta pesquisa demonstra que suas histórias empreendedoras alinham-se com o público-alvo e o objeto de seus empreendimentos. Não se trata de simples declarações de identidade, mas de histórias que valorizam, simbolizam e representam o capital social e cultural acumulado pelo empreendedor. É por meio da retórica que os novos empreendimentos culturais e criativos destes empreendedores conseguem atrair investidores.</p>

AbstractObjectiveTo evaluate associations between low birth weight (LBW) and anthropometry, body composition, physical fitness, and gross motor coordination among schoolchildren from Maputo, Mozambique.MethodsA total of 353 children aged 7 to 10 years old from both genders born in Maputo (Mozambique) were sampled. The sample was divided into two groups: LBW (n = 155) and normal birth weight (NBW, n = 198). Body composition measurements and indices weight‐for‐age, height‐for‐age, and weight‐for‐height were assessed. Physical fitness was assessed by handgrip strength, flexibility, agility, long jump, and running speed. Gross motor coordination was evaluated by using the Korper Koordination Test fur Kinder (KTK) battery.ResultsLBW children were lighter and smaller than NBW children with reduced indices for weight‐for‐age and height‐for‐age. They also showed a reduced performance in handgrip strength and sideways movement tests. These differences remained significant even after adjustment for age, gender, body size, and fatness skinfold thickness.ConclusionLBW seems to be the major factor that influences anthropometry, and is a predictor of low muscle strength and low performance on sideways movement tests. This result suggests that growth faltering in LBW children is associated with adverse health consequences, even after controlling for gender, age, fatness, and body size.

High Resolution Localization of Rab5, EEA1, and Nectin‐3 to Tubulobulbar Complexes in the Rat Testis
Authors: Adams Arlo , Wayne Vogl A. 
Published: February 2017

ABSTRACTTubulobulbar complexes are clathrin/actin‐based structures that internalize intercellular junctions in the testis. They resemble coated pits with extremely long necks that are cuffed by dendritic actin networks. As the structures mature, a swollen region or bulb develops near the end of each complex. The bulbs lack actin cuffs and are closely associated with cisternae of endoplasmic reticulum. The bulbs expand and are internalized and enter endocytic compartments of the Sertoli cell. Previous immunofluorescence studies have demonstrated that markers for early endosomes (Rab5 and EEA1) are associated with tubulobulbar complexes and are localized at or near the ends of the structures. Here we use a pre‐embedding immunoelectron microscopic technique to accurately localize these markers to apical tubulobulbar complexes that occur at junctions between Sertoli cells and spermatids. Staining for Rab5 occurs at bulbs, identified by the presence of two plasma membranes and a close association with cisternae of endoplasmic reticulum. EEA1 is associated with large vesicles that lack an association with the endoplasmic reticulum. Labeling for nectin‐3, an adhesion junction protein in the spermatid plasma membrane, occurs at junctions, TBC bulbs, and in associated double membrane vesicles. Our results suggest that Rab5 associates with junction protein containing bulbs prior to their internalization and that EEA1 associates with the structures later and after internalization. We conclude that at tubulobulbar complexes in Sertoli cells of the seminiferous epithelium, the identity of ‘bulbs’ as putative early endosomes begins to be established prior to their undergoing scission or budding from their parent structures.

ABSTRACTThe location of the heart within the thorax varies significantly between individuals. The resultant diversity of the anatomical cardiac long axis, however, and its determinants, have yet to be systematically investigated. We enrolled 100 consecutive patients undergoing coronary arterial computed tomographic angiography, decomposing the vector of the anatomical cardiac long axis by projecting it to horizontal, frontal, and sagittal planes. The projected vectors on each plane were then converted into three rotation angles using coordinate transformation. We then measured the extent of aortic wedging, using the vertical distance between the inferior margins of the non‐adjacent aortic sinus and the epicardium. We took the aortic root rotation angle to be zero when an “en face” view of the right coronary aortic sinus was obtained in the frontal view, defining leftward rotation to be positive. The mean horizontal, frontal, and sagittal rotation angles were 48.7° ± 9.5°, 52.3° ± 12.0°, and 34.0° ± 11.2°, respectively. The mean extent of aortic wedging, and the aortic root rotation angle, were 42.7 ± 9.8 mm, and 5.3° ± 16.4°. Horizontal rotation of the anatomical axis was associated with leftward and ventral rotation, and vice versa. Multivariate analysis showed aortic root rotation to be associated with horizontal cardiac rotation, while aortic wedging is associated with frontal and sagittal cardiac rotation. We have quantified the marked individual variation observed in the anatomical axis of the living heart, identifying the different mechanisms involved in producing the marked three‐dimensional diversity of the living heart.

Published: February 2017

AbstractThe available grain corn stover produced in Belgium is estimated at 290 000 dry tons, a sufficient amount to supply a biorefinery. Differences regarding size, prematurity, and drying speed have been observed among the cultivated grain corn varieties in Wallonia (Belgium). This study aims to evaluate the variation in composition of different anatomical fractions (stalks, leaves, cobs, and husks) of three Walloon varieties of grain corn stover (SyMultitop, Padrino, and Alduna) with significant production volumes. In addition, the Padrino variety was assessed for variation in chemical composition at three harvesting times. Walloon grain corn stover contains large amounts of polysaccharides (33.4% to 41.3% of glucans and 13.9% to 28.2% of xylans) and lignin (10.4% to 15.3%). Some differences were noted between varieties and anatomical fractions. Depending on how the feedstock is harvested, it is possible to produce between 79 and 81 M liters of ethanol per year without adversely affecting soil sustainability. © 2017 Society of Chemical Industry and John Wiley & Sons, Ltd
Relationship between tumour size and outcome in pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma
Authors: Ansari D , Bauden M , Bergström S , Rylance R , Marko-Varga G , Andersson R 
Published: February 2017

Abstract

Background
The size of pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) at diagnosis is an indicator of outcome. Previous studies have focused mostly on patients with resectable disease. The aim of this study was to investigate the relationship between tumour size and risk of metastasis and death in a large PDAC cohort, including all stages.

Methods
Patients diagnosed with PDAC between 1988 and 2013 were identified from the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results (SEER) database. Tumour size was defined as the maximum dimension of the tumour as provided by the registry. Metastatic spread was assessed, and survival was calculated according to size of the primary tumour using the Kaplan–Meier method. Cox proportional regression modelling was used to adjust for known confounders.

Results
Some 58 728 patients were included. There were 187 patients (0·3 per cent) with a tumour size of 0·5 cm or less, in whom the rate of distant metastasis was 30·6 per cent. The probability of tumour dissemination was associated with tumour size at the time of diagnosis. The association between survival and tumour size was linear for patients with localized tumours, but stochastic in patients with regional and distant stages. In patients with resected tumours, increasing tumour size was associated with worse tumour-specific survival, whereas size was not associated with survival in patients with unresected tumours. In the adjusted Cox regression analysis, the death rate increased by 4·1 per cent for each additional 1-cm increase in tumour size.

Conclusion
Pancreatic cancer has a high metastatic capacity even in small tumours. The prognostic impact of tumour size is restricted to patients with localized disease.

Published: February 2017

AbstractCapacitively coupled contactless conductivity detection (C4D) has appeared as a powerful technique for the detection of compounds lacking chromogenic or fluorogenic group. Since our last review (Biomedical Chromatography 2014; 28: 1502–1506) several new capillary electrophoresis (CE)‐C4D methods have been reported. This review provides an update of the most recent utilization of CE‐C4D in the field of pharmaceutical, biomedical and food analysis covering the period from February 2014 to October 2016. The use of CE with C4D in the pharmaceutical field has been shown in many papers. Examples illustrate the applicability of CE‐C4D in the fields of pharmaceutical, biomedical and food analysis. Finally, general conclusions and perspectives are provided.

AbstractA novel, precise, sensitive and accurate ultra‐performance liquid chromatography–tandem mass spectrometry (UPLC–MS/MS) method has been developed for the simultaneous determination of a novel drug combination, candesartan (CAN) and chlorthalidone (CHL), in human plasma. Chromatographic separation was achieved on Waters Acquity UPLC BEH C18 (50 × 2.1 mm, 1.7 μm). Mobile phase consisting of 1 mm ammonium acetate in water–acetonitrile (20:80 v/v) was used. The total chromatographic runtime was 1.9 min with retention times for CAN and CHL at 0.7 and 1.1 min respectively. Ionization and detection of analytes and internal standards was performed on a triple quadrupole mass spectrometer, operating in the multiple reaction monitoring and negative ionization mode. Quantitation was done to monitor protonated precursor → product ion transition of m/z 439.2 → 309.0 for CAN, 337.0 → 189.8 for CHL and 443.2 → 312.1 for candesartan D4 and 341.0 → 189.8 for chlorthalidone D4. The method was validated over a wide dynamic concentration range of 2.0–540.0 ng/mL for candesartan and 1.0–180.0 ng/mL for chlorthalidone. The validated method was successfully applied for the assay of CAN and CHL in healthy volunteers.

AbstractShen‐Shuai‐Ning (SSN) granule, a traditional Chinese medicine formula, is widely used in clinical practice for treating chronic renal failure. However, its detailed chemical profile is unknown. Here, HPLC‐ESI‐QTOF‐MS was employed for the systematic chemical analysis of SSN. A total of 52 compounds were identified and the characteristic ions of the compounds were described. Furthermore, chemical consistency between the combined decoction and the separated decoction of SSN was evaluated using HPLC‐DAD. A chemical comparison between two preparations of SSN granule (combined decoction and separated decoction of Coptides Rhizoma) indicated a significant difference in the content of many compounds, including salvianolic acid A, salvianolic acid B, berberine, palmatine and epiberberine. As a result, separated decoction of Coptides Rhizoma would lead to a significantly decrease in depsides in Salviae Miltiorrhizae Radix et Rhizoma and an increase in alkaloids in Coptidis Rhizoma.
