Techniki konwersyjne w najnowszej prozie polskiej. Próba antropotechnicznego modelu interpretacji
Authors: Bielawa Jacek 
Published: February 2023

Nawiązując do koncepcji technik Siebie Michela Foucaulta i antropotechniki Petera Sloterdijka, w artykule przedstawiono propozycję modelu interpretacji literackich zjawisk konwersyjnych. Perspektywa „antropotechniczna” nie wyklucza umieszczania doświadczenia konwersji podmiotu w kontekstach metafizycznych, lecz w wielu przypadkach pozwala przekroczyć religijny horyzont lektury, umożliwiając uwzględnienie szerszego niż w przypadku postsekularyzmu spektrum zjawisk literackich. Wykorzystując wspomniany model, procesy konwersji ukazano na przykładzie kilku współczesnych (wydanych po 2009 roku) polskich utworów prozatorskich, w szczególności dokonując poszerzonej interpretacji powieści Pióropusz Mariana Pilota. U podstaw wewnętrznej przemiany bohaterów tych narracji stoi doświadczenie ograniczoności i utraty.
„Zatem czysta chłopska krew?”. O splocie klasy i „rasy” w Wirach Henryka Sienkiewicza
Authors: Ryś Paweł Wiktor 
Published: February 2023

Artykuł podejmuje problematykę urasowienia podziałów społecznych w Wirach Henryka Sienkiewicza, wpisując się z jednej strony w krytyczny namysł nad kategorią „rasy”, z drugiej we współczesne polskie dyskusje nad chłopskością/plebejskością. W tekście dowodzi się, że stosunek pisarza do omawianych kwestii naznaczony jest swoistą dychotomią, która odpowiada niejako dwóm głównym wątkom powieści: romansowemu i rewolucyjnemu. O ile bowiem w wątku romansowym podział na „dobre” – szlacheckie i „złe” – chłopskie instynkty, krew, „rasę” zostaje podważony, o tyle w wątku rewolucyjnym istotną rolę odgrywa, przybierająca formy rasizmu klasowego, dehumanizacja socjalistów oraz mas.

Construct Women’s Subjectivity during the Quest-Gender Writing in Pynchon’s The Crying of Lot 49
Authors: Zhang Ying 
Published: February 2023

<p>Since its publication in 1966, Pynchon’s <em>The Crying of Lot 49 </em>has aroused widespread concerns and discussions in both China and abroad. This book being regarded as the pioneer work of the post-modernism and masterpiece of black humour, relevant research serves to figure out its post-modern features from uncertainty, entropy, linguistic games to narrative traps. The present study is concerned about politics, history, law, religion, race, and racial oppression contained in the novel, as well as the author’s innovation of the quest mode, while ignoring how the heroine Oedipa strove to construct her subjectivity during her quest for the secret of Tristero System. This paper will focus on gender writing in <em>The Crying of Lot 49 </em>with the assistance of feminist criticism, Jacques Lacan’s psychological analysis as well as the concept of cultural hegemony by Antonio Gramsci, which together point out that the main achievement of Oedipa’s seemingly absurd quest is to break away from the constraints of patriarchy and gradually construct her own subjectivity as a woman.</p>

Authors: Ali Hadeel G. Abd , Hussain Mudhir A. Abdul 
Published: February 2023

In this work, the modified Lyapunov-Schmidt reduction is used to find a nonlinear Ritz approximation of Fredholm functional defined by the nonhomogeneous Camassa-Holm equation and Benjamin-Bona-Mahony. We introduced the modified Lyapunov-Schmidt reduction for nonhomogeneous problems when the dimension of the null space is equal to two. The nonlinear Ritz approximation for the nonhomogeneous Camassa-Holm equation has been found as a function of codimension twenty-four.

Authors: Tahir Noor Thair , ALfatlawi Wafaa Raji , AL Jedda Walaa Ahmed 
Published: February 2023

Obesity is an escalating health problem in developing countries. One to ten children worldwide are overweight in a report showed by the International Obesity Task Force. Ghrelin, orexigenic peptide, has 28 amino acids, it is considered the greatest remarkable promotion in the last two decades for understanding the physiological changes of action regu­lating food intake and hunger. Obestatin is a 23-amino acid peptide nearly connected to ghrelin that secures from substitution splicing the alike resort molecule, pre-proghrelin. The study is designed to assess the level of ghrelin and obestatin in Iraqi obese children and its relation with other biochemical parameters. Ghrelin and obeststin levels were measured in sixty obese children; the range of their age was (5-16) years, and this group was compared to 30 children in a healthy state as a control. Serum FBS, PPBS, and also lipid profiles (TG, TC, HDL-c, and LDL-c) were determined in the studied groups. Calculation of insulin resistance was done by using (HOMA-IR) a Homeostasis Model assessment of insulin resistance. Ghrelin levels were lower in a significant way in subjects who have obesity in comparison with control group. Significantly, there was a high increase in obestatin in obese patients when compared with control. This study demonstrates that obestatin raises and ghrelin is low in obesity, these hormones are related to the resistance of insulin, and there is an association between ghrelin and oxidative stress. The scales between obestatin and ghrelin are likely disturbed in obesity.
The Influence of Ablation Speed on the Synthesis of Carbon Nanostructures Via Pulsed Laser Ablation of Asphalt in Ethanol
Authors: Al-attar Huda Mahmood , Azzawi Mohanad Mousa 
Published: February 2023

Pulsed liquid laser ablation is considered a green method for the synthesis of nanostructures because there are no byproducts formed after the ablation. In this paper, a fiber laser of wavelength 1.064 µm, peak power of 1 mJ, pulse duration of 120 ns, and repetition rate of 20 kHz, was used to produce carbon nanostructures including carbon nanospheres and carbon nanorods from the ablation of asphalt in ethanol at ablation speeds of (100, 75, 50, 10 mm/s). The morphology, composition and optical properties of the synthesized samples were studied experimentally using FESEM, HRTEM, EDS, and UV-vis spectrophotometer. Results showed that the band gap energy decreased with decreasing the ablation speed (increasing the ablation time), the minimum mean particle size of the synthesized samples was 76 nm at an ablation speed of 100mm/s, while the maximum mean particle size was 98 nm at ablation speed of 50 mm/s, the nanospheres were agglomerated to form larger spherical nanoshapes. All the synthesized carbon nano colloids exhibited a blue-green PL emission. It was concluded that the presence of carbon nanorods has an effect on the optical properties of the synthesized nanospheres.

Published: February 2023

The investigation of determining solutions for the Diophantine equation over the Gaussian integer ring for the specific case of is discussed. The discussion includes various preliminary results later used to build the resolvent theory of the Diophantine equation studied. Our findings show the existence of infinitely many solutions. Since the analytical method used here is based on simple algebraic properties, it can be easily generalized to study the behavior and the conditions for the existence of solutions to other Diophantine equations, allowing a deeper understanding, even when no general solution is known.

Abstract

Cirrhosis-related immune dysfunction is well recognized and may contribute to early mortality following liver transplant (LT). The purpose of the present study was to identify pre-transplant biomarkers of immune dysfunction (i.e., immune frailty) that might accurately predict risk of early mortality following LT. Patient plasma was collected immediately prior to LT (T0) and analyzed via Luminex (N=279). On multivariate analysis, HCV IgG, Fractalkine, and MMP3 were significant predictors of 1yr post-LT mortality and were utilized to comprise a novel Liver Immune Frailty Index (LIFI). The LIFI stratifies LT recipients into -low, -moderate, and –high risk tertiles. One-year mortality was 1.4% for LIFI-low, 12.7% for LIFI-moderate, and 58.3% for LIFI-high. Internal validation through bootstrap resampling with 2000 replicates demonstrated the final LIFI model predicts early post-LT mortality with C-statistic=0.84. This novel index may identify patients at risk for persistent severe immune dysfunction and early mortality following LT.

Authors: Hohmeier Kenneth C , Turner Kea , Harland Michael , Frederick Kelsey , Rein Leanne , Atchley Daniel , Woodyard Ashley , Wasem Valerie , Desselle Shane 
Published: February 2023

Abstract
Background: There has been increasing evidence that “task shifting,” when a provider entrusting specific responsibilities to another member of their team, can increase care access and may lead to better patient care outcomes. This has been particularly underscored in underserved communities throughout the world where task shifting has led to increased healthcare access in areas of provider shortages. Within the profession of pharmacy, pharmacy technicians are the primary pharmacist-assistants and recipients of pharmacist-delegated tasks. Recently, such task delegation has placed the pharmacist in more direct patient care responsibilities beyond medication dispensing – and one such model with a growing evidence base is the Optimizing Care Model. Through task shifting, the Optimizing Care Model has been shown to reduce medication errors and increase the quantity of patient care services offered by the pharmacist. However, means to spread and scale the model have yet to be reported in the literature.
Methods: This article describes the development of a package of implementation strategies designed to facilitate implementation the Optimizing Care Model in a single division of nationwide supermarket pharmacy chain. The Implementation Mapping approach was used to systematically develop strategies.
Results: The application of the five steps of Implementation Mapping are described in detail. Implementation objectives, models, and strategies are outlined, as well as the final implementation protocol. There was an overall increase in weeks meeting the 10% Optimizing Care Model threshold; 33% at baseline to 83% after the intervention.
Conclusions: The implementation mapping process led to development of multi-faceted implementation strategy for implementing the Optimizing Care Model into community pharmacy practice. The strategy improved Optimizing Care Model implementation. Further research is needed to understand which strategies were most impactful.
Significant improvement of green light emission efficiency of InGaN/GaN quantum wells by depositing oxide thin films and ultraviolet light irradiations

Published: February 2023

Abstract
Light-emitting diodes (LEDs) using InGaN/GaN quantum wells (QWs) have low emission efficiencies in the green wavelength region, a problem known as the “green gap”. Surface plasmon (SP)-enhanced LEDs have attracted considerable attention because of their ability to solve the green gap by improving the internal quantum efficiency (IQE). However, there is no suitable metal for enhancing green light emissions using the propagating mode of SP resonance with thin metal films. Additionally, other problems, such as large absorption loss because of metals and difficulty in extracting light from the SP resonance modes, have prevented practical application of SP-enhanced LEDs. Herein, we propose a novel method to improve the IQE of green-light-emitting InGaN by depositing oxide thin films instead of metals and ultraviolet (UV) light irradiation. The innovativeness of the proposed method solves the problems of emission enhancements using plasmonics with metals, making it suitable for developing high-efficiency LED devices for practical applications.

Published: February 2023

Abstract
Background:
The COVID-19 pandemic is one of the worst health catastrophes of the last century, which caused severe economic, political, and social consequences worldwide. Despite these devastating consequences, a great opportunity has also opened up that can drive the reform of health systems to become high-performing, effective, equitable, accessible and sustainable organisations. This work identifies areas in which changes must be encouraged that will enable health systems to deal effectively with current and future challenges.
Methods:
A realist design was chosen, based on qualitative data collection techniques, content analysis and triangulation to identify subject matters (areas of intervention) behind the changes implemented to react to the COVID 19 pandemic in the Basque Country. Twenty key informants were used as an expert source of information. Thematic analysis was done using the Framework Method.
Results:
The analysis of the interviews resulted in the identification of 106 codes, which were reviewed and agreed upon by the researchers. Following the process of methodological analysis, these codes were grouped into 24 sub-themes, and these in turn into 7 themes. Specifically, the themes and sub-themes (in brackets) are: responsiveness (planning, governance, organisational elasticity and staff flexibility), telehealth (telecare, telework and telecoordination), integration (teamwork, collaborative networks, coordination with Public Health and partnerships), knowledge management (intellectual capital, scientific evidence, transmission and training), professional roles (reinforcement and innovation), digitisation (strategy, data analytics, automation and interoperability) and organisational communication (management, content and channels). The detailed description of each theme and subtheme is presented.
Conclusions:
The findings of this work pretend to guide the transformation of health systems into organisations that can improve the health of their populations and providing high quality care. Such a multidimensional and comprehensive reform encompasses both strategic and operational actions in diverse areas and requires a broad and sustained political, technical, and financial commitment.

Abstract

Objective

Reporting the oral symptoms of COVID-19 and correlate the occurrence of these symptoms with various possible etiologic factors.

Methods

A cross-sectional web-based survey targeted Medical doctors infected with COVID-19. The survey questioned the diagnosis of the disease, the severity of the disease symptoms, the oral symptoms along with drug and medical history. A total sample of 312 response were analyzed and correlated with various factors including the patients’ age, sex, medical history, drug history, hospitalization and severity of COVID-19 symptoms.

Results

Oral manifestations were reported in 72.5% of the participants. The most common oral manifestations were dysgeusia in 76% of patients which was partial in 64% of the participants. Xerostomia was reported in 41.6% of cases. Aphthous stomatitis and recurrent herpetic infections were also reported. The occurrence of oral symptoms was increased among population with previous medical history with no evidence of correlation with any other factors regarding gender, certain medications or oral hygiene.

Conclusion

The most common oral manifestations of COVID-19 are dysgeusia and xerostomia and the occurrence of oral manifestations is increased in patients with previous medical condition.
Clinical relevance: awareness of the possible symptoms and medical conditions that may potentiate the severity of oral symptoms during COVID-19 infection allows targeting the precise mechanism to treat the oral symptoms.
Quantum chemistry simulation of commonly used chemical drugs in COVID-19
Authors: Gong Da 
Published: February 2023

Abstract
Both computational chemistry and molecular simulations are methods of computing molecules through computer algorithms and models to investigate the structure and properties of the molecules of interest. [1] Both are methods to study the properties and structures of molecules under conditions that can be studied without the need for experiments. Since the outbreak of the new crown pneumonia epidemic, and especially since the large-scale outbreak of the COVID-19 in late 2022 in mainland China, the demand for febrile and analgesic drugs by the general population has increased, and the understanding and study of these drugs has become more important. However, the wide variety of drugs and the complex and demanding requirements of the experimental environment have hindered the understanding of these drugs. In this paper, I will perform molecular simulations of the major components of these drugs using computational chemistry to investigate the various chemical properties of these major components in a cost-effective manner.
Biomarker Heatmaps: an Application of an ‘-omics’ Approach to Detect Storm-induced Source Changes in Fluvial Particulate Organic Carbon
Authors: Kim Jieun , Blair Neal E. 
Published: February 2023

Abstract

The rapid response of riverine particulate organic carbon (POC) to storm hydrograph and its complex chemical compositions due to the diverse sources needs high-resolution sampling and more complementary analytical techniques to understand its storm-induced source dynamics. Such experimental designs inevitably yield larger datasets that require a new data analysis approach to gain a comprehensive overview of the data. Here, we propose to apply the ‘-omics’ approach to seek patterns in source activation and transition and their timings during storm events more effectively and intuitively. Biomarker concentration data are scaled and used to construct a biomarker heatmap using the ComplexHeatmap package in R. Hierarchical clustering is performed on the heatmaps to reorder the biomarkers based on their concentration fluctuations during storm events. We demonstrate the application of this approach to our high-frequency biomarker data obtained from storm POC samples collected in Clear Creek, Iowa. Our heatmap with clustering showed clear time series patterns in biomarker concentration changes, which can be interpreted as source changes. Some possible hypotheses are also discussed based on the biomarker clusters and their unique activation timings captured in our heatmap. This biomarker heatmap approach will help scientists to assess broad patterns in storm-induced POC source changes by offering a new perspective to explore the data as well as help to generate relevant hypotheses to be tested in follow-up analyses.
