An expert in peripheries: Working at, with and through the margins of European anthropology
Authors: Martínez Francisco 
Published: June 2024

This research explores the relationship between knowledge production and place by studying different notions of disciplinary and personal peripherality. In an auto-ethnographic manner, the author discusses some of the power relations at work and the politics of representation of an anthropology being done at the margins of European scholarship. By analysing his own professional trajectory, the author surmises that the question of centre or periphery highly depends on the perspective applied (i.e., methods, labour conditions, institutional support, funding, the scale, access to jobs…). Also, he argues that there is a distinct form of reflexivity at the margins, as well as a distinct temporal regime – characterised by discontinuity. To contrast and complement his personal insights, the author invited fifteen scholars working in Estonia to share their experience of researching “at the margins”. Based on their responses, the author concludes by admitting that being at the periphery is relevant, yet circumstantial – something to be aware of, yet not definitive or a determinant. The article contributes to the discussion on the need to differentiate, contextualise and problematise the question of the academic marginality, making this issue more nuanced by putting the ethnographic focus on the conditions of possibility among practitioners and the state of being peripheral.

Published: March 2012

AbstractThe systematic screening of Rett syndrome (RTT) patients for pathogenetic sequence variations has focused on three genes that have been associated with RTT or related clinical phenotypes, namely MECP2, CDKL5, and FOXG1. More recently, it has been suggested that phenotypes associated with TCF4 and MEF2C mutations may represent a form of RTT.Here we report on the screening of the TCF4 and MEF2C genes in a cohort of 81 classical, atypical, and incomplete atypical RTT patients harboring no known mutations in MECP2, CDKL5, and FOXG1 genes. No pathogenetic sequence variations were identified in the MEF2C gene in our cohort. However, a frameshift mutation in TCF4 was identified in a patient with a clinical diagnosis of “variant” RTT, in whom the clinical evolution later raised the possibility of Pitt–Hopkins syndrome. Although our results suggest that these genes are not commonly associated with RTT, we note the clinical similarity between RTT and Pitt–Hopkins syndrome, and suggest that RTT patients with no mutation identified in MECP2 be considered for molecular screening of the TCF4 gene. © 2012 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
Hypothesis: Estrogen related thrombosis explains the pathogenesis and epidemiology of gastroschisis
Authors: Lubinsky Mark 
Published: March 2012

AbstractA three‐part hypothesis is proposed to explain the unusual epidemiology of gastroschisis, a congenital abnormality of the abdominal wall, which has a rising frequency, a higher rate in first and young mothers in whites but not blacks, and a unique negative correlation with obesity. The hypothesis involves: (1) An early estrogenic thrombophilia, (2) racial differences in thrombosis, and (3) thrombotic by‐products interfering with early developmental signaling. For the first: (1) An estrogenic thrombophilia is a known effect. (2) A mouse model links excess estrogen to thromboses affecting the fetus. (3) Young and first mothers have higher first trimester estrogen levels. (4) A negative correlation between body mass index and pregnancy estradiol accounts for the weight relationship. (5) Maternal alcohol raises estrogen levels in premenopausal women. (6) A link with atrazine, an estrogenic endocrine disruptor, has been found, and rising frequencies of gastroschisis make this and other such chemicals a particular concern if estrogen is indeed involved. For the second: Blacks have a different thrombophilic gene background and less of a thrombotic response to estrogen than whites, explaining racial differences. For the third: Protein palmitoylation affects cell signaling in development, and lipid rafts, a major aspect of thromboses, facilitate this process. Such thrombotic byproducts could be the source of palmitic acid rich amniotic vacuoles with gastroschisis. Similar vacuoles can occur with limb‐body wall defects, another early developmental anomaly associated with decreased maternal age that may have a similar pathogenesis. Later thrombotic related anomalies with a similar epidemiology seem to primarily involve vascular disruptions, but localized signaling anomalies may also occur. © 2012 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Published: March 2012

AbstractRecurrent copy number variants (CNVs) are found in a significant proportion of patients with congenital heart disease (CHD) and some of these CNVs are associated with other developmental defects. In some syndromic patients, CHD may be the first presenting symptom, thus screening of patients with CHD for CNVs in specific genomic regions may lead to early diagnosis and awareness of extracardiac symptoms. We designed a multiplex ligation‐dependent probe amplification (MLPA) assay specifically for screening of CHD patients. The MLPA assay allows for simultaneous analysis of CNVs in 25 genomic regions previously associated with CHD. We screened blood samples from 402 CHD patients and identified 14 rare CNVs in 13 (3.2%) patients. Five CNVs were de novo and six where inherited from a healthy parent. The MLPA screen led to early syndrome diagnosis in two of these patients. We conclude that the MLPA assay detects clinically relevant CNVs and suggest that it could be used within pediatric cardiology as a first tier screen to detect clinically relevant CNVs and identify syndromic patients at an early stage. © 2012 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
Synthesis and characterization of conducting poly(3‐acetylpyrrole)/carbon nanotube composites
Authors: Zheng Yuying , Wang Pan , Li Baoming 
Published: March 2012

AbstractConducting poly(3‐acetylpyrrole) (PAPy)/multiwalled carbon nanotubes (MWNTs) composites were synthesized by the in situ chemical polymerization of 3‐acetylpyrrole (APy) onto MWNTs. The structure and morphology of the PAPy/MWNT composites were characterized by Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy, X‐ray diffraction, field emission scanning electron microscopy (FE‐SEM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), and thermogravimetric analysis. The FTIR results indicated that no chemical reaction occurred between the PAPy and MWNTs, and only the MWNTs served as a template for APy polymerization. FE‐SEM and TEM suggested that PAPy was only coated on the surface of the carbon nanotubes, and the thickness of the PAPy coating on each nanotube was dependent on the ratio of APy to MWNTs. The standard four‐probe method was used to measure the electrical conductivity of the samples at room temperature, and the results show that the MWNTs enhanced the electrical conductivity of the composites compared to PAPy. In addition, the solution stability of the suspension with the PAPy [or polypyrrole (PPy)]/MWNT composites was investigated; this showed that the dispersion of the PAPy/MWNT composites in ethanol solution was much better than that of the PPy/MWNT composites. © 2012 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Fatigue damage initiation of a PA66/glass fibers composite material
Authors: Esmaeillou B. , Fereirra P. , Bellenger V. , Tcharkhtchi A. 
Published: March 2012

AbstractFatigue damage initiation of a PA66/glass fiber composite material is studied with interrupted tests carried out with an “alternative bending device” and a small applied strain. During the damage initiation period, no change of macroscopic properties, density, cristallinity ratio, glass transition temperature, and flexural elastic modulus is observed. Polysequential tests are carried out with three rest times differing by their length. These rest times allow the relaxation of macromolecular chains in the region of the microdefects and increase the number of cycles at fracture. The most efficient stop is the one just before the final fracture. The comparison of the fatigue behavior of the composite and its neat matrix shows that the microdefects relaxed during the break are identical to those which initiate damage and final fracture. © 2012 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Effect of inorganic salts on viscosifying behavior of a thermoassociative water‐soluble terpolymer based on 2‐acrylamido‐methylpropane sulfonic acid
Authors: Liu Xingli , Wang Yu , Lu Zhiyong , Chen Quansheng , Feng Yujun 
Published: March 2012

AbstractThe effect of different inorganic salts on aqueous solution viscosifying behavior of a thermoassociative water‐soluble terpolymer, poly(acrylamide‐co‐2‐acrylamido‐2‐methylpropane sulfonic acid)‐g‐poly[acrylamide‐co‐N‐(1,1‐dimethyl‐3‐oxobutyl)acrylamide] (PADAS) was examined in comparison with a nonthermoassociative sulfonated copolymer, poly(acrylamide‐co‐2‐acrylamido‐2‐methylpropane sulfonic acid) (PAMS). With increasing salt concentration, thermoviscosifying ability of PADAS was clearly evidenced and the magnitude of thermoviscosifying effect was largely enhanced. The ability of cations and anions to enhance the viscosity of PADAS aqueous solution follows the orders Na+ > K+ > Mg2+ > Ca2+ and SO42− > Cl− > Br‐ > NO3−, respectively. Under the same conditions, PAMS shows only thermothinning behavior and viscosity loss. The thermoviscosifying capability of PADAS is relevant to the change in the polarity of aqueous solution and the electrostatic shield effect of counterion for the repulsion between the sulfonate anions on the polymer, and depends mainly on the competition of these two effects. Cryo‐TEM observation demonstrates that the microstructure changes of polymers in the electrolyte solution lead to the changes of the viscosifying behavior. © 2012 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Formation of a metastable phase of bisphenol‐A polycarbonate induced by mechanical stress
Authors: Matsuda Yasuhiro , Hanamura Rei , Takemura Yoshinobu , Sugita Atsushi , Tasaka Shigeru 
Published: March 2012

AbstractSamples of bisphenol‐A polycarbonate (BPA‐PC) mechanically crushed in a ballmill were prepared and their physical properties were analyzed in order to elucidate the mechanism of the high impact resistivity of polycarbonates, which makes polycarbonates to be widely used engineering plastics. In this article, BPA‐PC samples were prepared with different surface conditions to probe their molecular mobility. While BPA‐PC films prepared by melt pressing showed a single glass transition at 150°C, the samples crushed in a ballmill, ground in a mortar with added alumina powder, or cast from solution in tetrahydrofuran showed glass transitions at approximately room temperature. The existence of glass transition behavior at room temperature was confirmed for the mechanically crushed samples by differential scanning calorimetry, dielectric relaxation measurements, and friction measurements. The independence of the glass transition of mechanically crushed BPA‐PC on molecular weight indicated that the chain ends do not play an important role in the glass transition behavior. The molecular structures of the films were also investigated by infrared spectroscopy. The relationship between this unique glass transition behavior and the high impact resistivity of BPA‐PC is discussed based on the experimental results. © 2012 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Assessment of the Effect of Instrumental and Discretization Errors on Derivative‐based Potential‐field Geophysical Methods
Authors: Milea Christian M. , Papazachos Constantinos B. , Tsokas Gregory N. , Tsourlos Panagiotis I. 
Published: March 2012

ABSTRACTGeophysical field measurements are subject to errors, which consequently comprise part of the data and subsequently they are propagated through processing techniques. Some of these errors can be controlled and eliminated, but others such as the errors introduced by the measuring instrument cannot be avoided. Moreover, the field data are collected as discrete samples, a procedure that introduces errors by itself. These two types of error are examined in the present study regarding their propagation and influence in estimating derivatives and subsequently functions of derivatives, such as the complex attributes. For this reason we consider magnetic anomalies (signals) of typical buried structures that are common in archaeological prospection, such as concealed ditches. In order to have analytical expressions for the magnetic anomaly signal, the structures are simulated by polygonal bodies. The magnetic anomaly signals are subsequently discretized and anomaly derivatives as well as complex attributes are computed using numerical methods. These discrete function values are compared with the corresponding values obtained from the analytical solutions in order to assess the discretization errors involved. Similarly, calculations are repeated after contaminating the signals with Gaussian noise in an attempt to simulate the effect of instrumental error. A parametric study of these two error sources is performed, showing that they have a contradictory effect: larger sampling intervals increase, as expected, the numerical divergence of ideal data (no noise) from their analytical form. On the other hand, for realistic data (with random noise) the increase of the measuring step decreases the effect of instrument error. The combined influence of both sources of errors shows that the various derivative‐based measures exhibit a minimum of the introduced total error for different combinations of discretization and measurement errors. The quantitative study of the combined error provides useful suggestions on the best way that magnetic surveys should be carried out when the use of derivatives is employed for the final data interpretation.

AbstractObjectiveAlthough the accelerating effect of systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) on atherosclerosis is well established, the underlying mechanisms are unknown. The aim of this study was to explore the hypothesis that lupus autoimmunity modulates the effect of hypercholesterolemia in driving arterial pathologic development.MethodsLow‐density lipoprotein receptor–deficient (Ldlr−/−) mice were crossed with B6.129‐Sle16 (Sle16)–congenic autoimmune mice to obtain Sle16. Ldlr−/− mice, which were compared with Ldlr−/− and Sle16 control mice. All mice were fed either a low‐fat or high‐fat diet. Groups of mice were compared, by strain and by diet group, for features of accelerated atherosclerosis and autoimmunity.ResultsPresence of the Sle16 locus significantly increased the extent of atherosclerosis in Ldlr−/− mice. Circulating C3 levels were significantly reduced in Sle16.Ldlr−/− mice compared to Ldlr−/− control mice and this was paralleled by a marked reduction in arterial lesion C3 deposition despite similar levels of IgG deposition between the groups. Increased numbers of apoptotic cells in plaques were observed in the high‐fat–fed Sle16.Ldlr−/− mice, consistent with the observed defective clearance of cellular debris. After receiving the high‐fat diet, Sle16.Ldlr−/− mice developed glomerulonephritis and displayed enhanced glomerular C3 deposition.ConclusionThese results indicate that accelerated atherosclerosis and renal inflammation in SLE are closely linked via immune complex formation and systemic complement depletion. However, whereas hyperlipidemia will enhance renal immune complex–mediated complement activation and the development of nephritis, accelerated atherosclerosis is, instead, related to complement depletion and a reduction in the uptake of apoptotic/necrotic debris. These results suggest that aggressive treatment of hyperlipidemia in patients with SLE may reduce the occurrence of lupus nephritis, as well as diminish the risk of accelerated atherosclerosis.
A fuzzy stochastic approach to the multicriteria selection of an aircraft for regional chartering

Published: March 2012

SUMMARYThis article deals with the problem of decision support for the selection of an aircraft. This is a problem faced by an airline company that is investing in regional charter flights in Brazil. The company belongs to an economic group whose core business is logistics. The problem has eight alternatives to be evaluated under 11 different criteria, whose measurements can be exact, stochastic, or fuzzy. The technique chosen for analyzing and then finding a solution to the problem is the multicriteria decision aiding method named NAIADE (Novel Approach to Imprecise Assessment and Decision Environments). The method used allows tackling the problems by working with quantitative as well as qualitative criteria under uncertainty and imprecision. Another considerable advantage of NAIADE over other multicriteria methods relies in its characteristics of not requiring a prior definition of the weights by the decision maker. As a conclusion, it can be said that the use of NAIADE provided for consistent results to that aircraft selection problem. Copyright © 2012 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
Beyond the connectome: How neuromodulators shape neural circuits
Authors: Bargmann Cornelia I. 
Published: March 2012

AbstractPowerful ultrastructural tools are providing new insights into neuronal circuits, revealing a wealth of anatomically‐defined synaptic connections. These wiring diagrams are incomplete, however, because functional connectivity is actively shaped by neuromodulators that modify neuronal dynamics, excitability, and synaptic function. Studies of defined neural circuits in crustaceans, C. elegans, Drosophila, and the vertebrate retina have revealed the ability of modulators and sensory context to reconfigure information processing by changing the composition and activity of functional circuits. Each ultrastructural connectivity map encodes multiple circuits, some of which are active and some of which are latent at any given time.
