Introduction. One of the urgent tasks for the development of technical regulation on construction, set by the Government of the Russian Federation and addressed to the Ministry of Construction, Housing and Utilities of Russia, is to restore the monitoring system in construction for its timely updating, eliminating duplications and contradictions that arise. Meanwhile, new building materials, technologies and design methods demand continuous improvement of the standard framework and increase in the harmonization of Russian and international standards and regulations in the construction of buildings and structures. The paper presents the monitoring results of Russian and North American standard technical documentation setting requirements for concrete, reinforced concrete and reinforced concrete products.Aim. To conduct a comparative analysis of standard technical documentation in construction industry of Russia and the United States and prepare suggestions for their harmonization.Materials and methods. The study involved a review, systematization and analysis of national and foreign technical documents in the field of standardization of requirements for concrete and reinforced concrete, as well as research projects and bibliography concerning technical regulation in this field.Results. The authors produced suggestions for the development of new codes of practice and state standards. The present paper introduced a list of research which can be used as prerequisites for developing new, as well as adjusting and updating previously approved technical standards. The authors noted significant differences between technical regulation systems in the USA and Russian Federation, as well as poor harmonization of standards requirements.Conclusion. The results obtained indicate the feasibility of subsequent monitoring of national and foreign standard technical documentation with domain decomposition and specification of areas for in-depth analysis. The suggestions made as part of the monitoring work can contribute to the development of the national scientific and standard framework.
La tradition dans la pratique liturgique réformée française
Authors: Cochand Nicolas 
Published: July 2023

La problématique de la relation entre tradition et religion est particulièrement intéressante dans le domaine de la liturgie. Cet article l’examine à propos de la tradition ecclésiale réformée française. Une observation issue du terrain indique que la liturgie est considérée comme reçue. Cela conduit à porter un regard historique mettant l’accent sur trois époques, le XVIe, le XIXe et le XXe siècles. Ce parcours indique que la pratique est le produit d’héritages régulièrement reconfigurés et habités par des personnes qui contribuent à leur réception et à leur évolution.
Quanta sit caritas patriae. Sens et formes de l’appartenance à la Cité entre chrétiens et païens de l’Antiquité tardive à la lumière de la correspondance entre Augustin d’Hippone et Nectarius de Calama
Authors: Nsiri Mohamed-Arbi 
Published: July 2023

Écrite entre 408 et 409 dans l’effervescence d’une forte résistance païenne à une christianisation accélérée, la correspondance entre Augustin d’Hippone et Nectarius de Calama est un concentré de problématiques néoplatoniciennes qui tournent autour des formes et des sens de l’appartenance à la Cité (terrestre), de la justice et du bonheur. S’y ajoute un débat de type théologique autour des significations de la Cité céleste, de dieu et du pardon. Grâce à ces quatre lettres qui font parler en même temps un évêque et un « sage » bien instruit, nous pouvons approcher davantage la mentalité des élites africaines païenne et chrétienne de l’époque romaine tardive.
utopía de Bukele
Authors: Rocha Gómez José Luis 
Published: July 2023

Este artículo explora, desde una perspectiva histórica, la trayectoria de militarización en el Estado salvadoreño para interpretar la militarización que ocurre en la actualidad. Los Acuerdos de Paz de 1992 fueron un intento de ruptura con el militarismo, pero los sucesivos gobiernos fueron erosionando dichos acuerdos. Nayib Bukele continuó esa tendencia y la profundizó. En un intento de apuntalarse en el poder dando una solución definitiva al enfrentamiento entre las maras y el Estado salvadoreño, sus principales estrategias refuerzan el militarismo con número de efectivos, presupuesto, atribuciones de seguridad pública a las fuerzas armadas, suspensión de los derechos mediante un estado de excepción y la mayor tasa de encarcelados del planeta.

La revisión de la literatura viene siendo importante para comprender el acontecimiento de diferentes estudios sobre un tema específico y de interés para la sociedad, es por ello que se ha visto la necesidad de hacer una revisión de literatura referente al mecanismo de invocación de métodos remotos. Remote Method Invocation (RMI) como tal, es una tecnología utilizada para la comunicación entre objetos, un tema que en particular ha tenido mucha relevancia en computación distribuida y procesamiento en paralelo, lo que ha permitido el desarrollo de múltiples aplicaciones empresariales al igual que juegos. Por ello teniendo como guía una metodología para la revisión bibliográfica y la gestión de información de temas científicos que se basa en centralizar un problema, buscar información y organizar información se ha empezado por seleccionar un determinado número de investigaciones para proceder con la revisión de literatura de tal forma que se pueda extraer conceptos y aportes más importantes hechos en cada una de las investigaciones. Se realizó una lista de temas que engloben RMI como base de estudio y se buscó lo más relevante para realizar en principio una introducción referente a computación distribuida, RMI y su forma de implementación, además de realizar tablas en donde se especifica las definiciones de algunos autores, así como las ventajas y desventajas que presenta esta tecnología en cuanto a su implementación y uso en el área de Ciencias de la Computación.

Introducción: Los estudios poblacionales describen que el sexo tiene un efecto profundo en la epidemiologia de la enfermedad renal. El objetivo del presente estudio fue describir el perfil epidemiológico y clínico de mujeres con enfermedad renal ingresadas en la unidad de cuidados críticos que ameritaron terapia renal sustitutiva.
Métodos: Estudio descriptivo observacional de corte transversal realizado en el Hospital Nacional de la Mujer en la ciudad de San Salvador entre los años 2017 a 2021. La muestra fue no probabilística.
Resultados: El rango de edad más frecuente de pacientes es entre los 21 a 30 años representando el 46% de la población. El 76% de las pacientes ingresadas en el estudio tenían patologia obstétrica mientras que el 24% únicamente tenían patologia ginecológica. En cuanto a patologías crónicas presentes al momento de iniciar la TRR, el 28% no tenía patologías crónicas preexistentes; en el resto de la población, la patología renal estuvo presente en 45% del total de casos siendo esta la predominante sobre otros diagnósticos.
Conclusión: En el sexo femenino las patologías ginecológicas y obstétricas tanto en presencia como en ausencia de enfermedad renal conocida se asocian con una alta tasa de necesidad de terapia de reemplazo renal.
If Fascism Is Not Really On the March, Then Why the Constant ‘Brown Scares’?
Authors: Bar-On Tamir 
Published: July 2023

¿Qué es exactamente el fascismo? Los fascistas se veían a sí mismos como creadores de la unidad entre el capital y el trabajo y el fascismo como una ideología revolucionaria antiliberal, anticomunista y anticonservadora, que mezcla ideales ultranacionalistas antiliberales y marxistas revisionistas, y que nació durante las múltiples crisis de los años de entreguerras. Es un tipo de "socialismo" en nombre de la nación, que supuestamente renace tras un periodo de decadencia y declive. Los fascistas son, por tanto, anticapitalistas (y anticomunistas) y, por extensión, "antimaterialistas". Pretenden crear una comunidad nacional unificada, que no se vea desgarrada por las divisiones de las desigualdades capitalistas ni por el enfrentamiento comunista entre burguesía y proletariado. Los fascistas consideran que el liberalismo, el sistema parlamentario y los legados igualitarios y de derechos de las revoluciones estadounidense y francesa son individualistas y, por tanto, antitéticos a la causa primordial de la nación.
Today “Brown Scares” are the order of the day in many countries in Europe and the Americas. Why is this the case in anti-fascist age when fascism is not really on the march? I want to advance the argument that there are few fascists remaining today in Euro-American societies, but that “Brown Scares” have been revived in various decades since the 1950s. These “Brown Scares” are used by the establishment to undermine political opponents and to engage in more authoritarian mechanisms against enemies of the current pro-liberal and pro-capitalist establishment.
Ex Oriente lux. El rechazo de Occidente y sus consecuencias sociales y políticas

Published: July 2023

Today in an important portion of the Third World it is usual to believe that the philosophical thinking, the practical wisdom, and the right political doctrine have been not originated in Western Europe, but in Africa and Asia. In the 19th century the romantic movement started a new and positive vision about the Orient in order to establish an alternative to the detested Western rationalism. Today this vision praises above all the historical, political, and economic function of the Chinese civilization, which now is reaching the level that it had always deserved. The dangerous aspect of this doctrine lies in the fact that by means of very popular arguments it lets fall the positive aspects of Western modernity: rationalism, pluralistic democracy, and the conception of human rights.
En buena parte del Tercer Mundo se cree hoy que el pensamiento filosófico, la sabiduría práctica y la doctrina política correcta no se han originado en Europa occidental, sino en África y Asia. En el siglo XIX el movimiento romántico inició una visión nueva y positiva acerca del Oriente para establecer una alternativa al detestado racionalismo occidental. Hoy esta visión enaltece ante todo el rol histórico, político y económico de la civilización china, que ahora estaría alcanzando el nivel que siempre le correspondió. Lo peligroso de estas teorías es que mediante argumentos muy populares dejan a un lado lo positivo de la modernidad occidental: el racionalismo, la democracia pluralista y la concepción de los derechos humanos.

Long-beaked common dolphin (Delphinus delphis bairdii) distribution is limited to the Eastern North Pacific Ocean. Its whistle repertoire is poorly investigated, with no studies in the Gulf of California. The aim of the present study is to characterize the whistles of this species and compare their parameters with different populations. Acoustic monitoring was conducted in La Paz Bay, Gulf of California. Recordings were inspected in spectrogram view in Raven Pro, selecting good quality whistles (n = 270). In the software Luscinia, contours were manually traced to obtain whistle frequencies and duration. Number of steps, inflection points and contour type were visually determined. We calculated the descriptive statistics of the selected whistle parameters and we compared the results with a dolphins population from the Eastern Pacific Ocean. Permutational multivariate analysis of variance (PERMANOVA) was performed to test the intraspecific variation of the whistle parameters among groups. In the present study the mean values (±SD) of the whistle parameters were: maximum frequency = 14.13 ± 3.71 kHz, minimum frequency = 8.44 ± 2.58 kHz and duration = 0.44 ± 0.31 s. Whistles with the upsweep contour were the most common ones (34.44%). The coefficient of variation (CV) values for modulation parameters were high (>100%), in accordance with other studies on dolphins. Whistle parameters showed significant differences among groups. Finally, ending and maximum frequencies, duration and inflection points of the whistles recorded in the present study were lower compared with the parameters of the long-beaked common dolphins from the Eastern Pacific Ocean. This study provides the first whistle characterization of long-beaked common dolphin from the Gulf of California and it will help future passive acoustic monitoring applications in the study area.

AbstractTaken the unlimited Na reservoir worldwide, battery technology based on Na‐ion chemistry poses as an ideal candidate for large‐scale energy storage systems. Especially, with metallic Na replacing traditional carbon anodes, it's able to maximize the energy density inexpensively. Nevertheless, sodium metal batteries (SMBs) face intrinsically poor stability due to their highly‐reactive nature, where low Coulombic efficiency and short lifetime are often witnessed. The situation can be further aggravated at low temperatures due to insurmountable kinetic barriers. Herein, a 1,3‐dioxolane‐based quasi‐solid‐state electrolyte (PDGE) is proposed with a high ionic conductivity of 3.68 mS cm−1 even at −20 ◦C for SMBs. Moreover, a weak solvation environment is tailored by PDGE, which possesses a high Na+ transference number of 0.7. Concurrently, the solid electrolyte interphase induced from PDGE presents inorganic Na2O, NaF as the major components, which offers accelerated Na+ diffusion and superior stability upon long‐term cycling. With such a quasi‐solid‐state electrolyte, the Na/Na3V2(PO4)3 full cell exhibits great stability over 1000 cycles at −20 ◦C. This study has significant implications to the development for SMBs under low‐temperature conditions.

Published: July 2023

AbstractThe cytokine interleukin (IL)‐11 has been shown to play a role in promoting fibrosis and cancer, including lung adenocarcinoma, garnering interest as an attractive target for therapeutic intervention. We used combinatorial methods to engineer an IL‐11 variant that binds with higher affinity to the IL‐11 receptor and stimulates enhanced receptor‐mediated cell signaling. Introduction of two additional point mutations ablates IL‐11 ligand/receptor association with the gp130 coreceptor signaling complex, resulting in a high‐affinity receptor antagonist. Unlike wild‐type IL‐11, this engineered variant potently blocks IL‐11‐mediated cell signaling and slows tumor growth in a mouse model of lung cancer. Our approach highlights a strategy where native ligands can be engineered and exploited to create potent receptor antagonists.

Published: July 2023

AbstractThe internal Xe gas pressure of ultrafine bubbles has been directly measured for the first time by using the γ‐γ angular correlation technique, a well‐known measurement technique in nuclear physics. Radioactive 125Xe (T1/2 = 16.9 h) was induced inside natural Xe‐ultrafine bubbles in water, having an average diameter of 200 nm, by thermal‐neutron irradiation. The asymmetry factor for the 55–188 keV γ‐γ cascade in 125I, followed by the β decay of 125Xe, was used as a probe for the gas pressure in ultrafine bubbles. The internal pressure of the ultrafine bubbles was determined to be  × 105 Pa, lower than those for ultrafine bubbles of N2, CH4, and Ar by Ohgaki (6 × 106 Pa) or that from the Young‐Laplace equation (1.6 × 106 Pa).

Published: July 2023

AbstractIncomplete removal of micropollutants in wastewater treatment leads to contamination of the aquatic environment. Mixed‐matrix membranes with different shares of embedded adsorbents are considered promising for the elimination of commonly found pharmaceuticals. However, their ideal geometry and reusability after a loading cycle remain uncertain. In this study, the life cycle of loaded membranes could be extended through chemical regeneration with ethanol at different temperatures. Moreover, membrane stability and adsorbent‐to‐membrane‐area ratio could be enhanced through a seven‐bore geometry.

Published: July 2023

AbstractPurposeThe rapid switching of the gradient fields induces eddy currents in neighboring metallic structures, causing undesirable effects. Numerical computations are thus required to understand eddy‐currents effects for designing/implementing mitigation (involving passive shielding) and compensating techniques (using pre‐emphasis). Previously, the network‐analysis (NA) method was introduced to compute z‐gradient eddy currents, although limited to a circularly symmetric and unconnected coil. Multi‐layer integral method (MIM) method was recently introduced, modifying the circuit equation involving stream functions. We tailor MIM (TMIM) for a more general eddy‐currents analysis in thin structures. Z‐gradient eddy currents are analyzed and then compared using three methods (NA, TMIM, and Ansys). The analysis helps to evaluate the efficiency of passive shielding and to compensate eddy currents.MethodsNA and TMIM computational frameworks for harmonic and transient eddy‐currents analysis were implemented and cross‐validated against Ansys Maxwell. A pre‐emphasis pulse was modeled for compensating eddy currents.ResultsEddy‐currents analysis of an unconnected z‐gradient coil in both the passive shield and cryostat were computed, and results were comparable to the least computationally efficient Ansys simulations. Although NA computations are fast, TMIM is implemented with reasonable efficiency and applied to circularly unsymmetric geometries. TMIM computations were further validated against Ansys using a connected z‐gradient. Our computations allowed the effective evaluation of the performance of three various passive‐shielding configurations, non‐capped, capped, and slitted (for the first time), and an effective pre‐emphasis compensation model was computed.ConclusionThree eddy‐currents analysis methods were studied and compared. Computationally efficient TMIM allows both harmonic and transient eddy‐currents analysis involving different/complex gradient configurations/situations as well as involved shielding structures. Eddy‐currents pre‐emphasis compensation was demonstrated.

AbstractPurposeThe aim of this study was to evaluate the dynamic change in staining of Class I HDACs and Hdac6 in lesions harvested serially from different time points in mice with induced endometriosis. In addition, the effect of Hdac8 activation as well as Hdac8 and Hdac6 inhibition on lesional progression and fibrogenesis was evaluated.MethodsImmunohistochemistry analysis of Class I HDACs and Hdac6 in serially harvested lesion samples in mouse. Hdac8 activation, as well as Hdac6/8 inhibition, was evaluated in mice with induced endometriosis.ResultsWe found a progressive increase in lesional staining of Hdac1, Hdac8, and Hdac6 and gradual decrease in Hdac2 staining and consistently reduced staining of Hdac3 during the course of lesional progression. The stromal Hdac8 staining correlated most prominently with all markers of lesional fibrosis. Hdac8 activation significantly accelerated the progression and fibrogenesis of endometriotic lesions. In contrast, specific inhibition of Hdac8 or Hdac6, especially of Hdac8, significantly hindered lesional progression and fibrogenesis.ConclusionsHdac8 is progressively and aberrantly overexpressed as endometriotic lesions progress. This, along with the documented HDAC1 upregulation in endometriosis and the overwhelming evidence for the therapeutic potentials of HDACIs, calls for further and in‐depth investigation of epigenetic aberrations of endometriosis in general and of HDACs in particular.
The nephrotoxin ochratoxin a impairs resilience of energy homeostasis of human proximal tubule cells

Published: July 2023

AbstractDespite a long history of research, the mode of action of the mycotoxin ochratoxin A (OTA) is still not clear. Based on our observation that OTA-exposed cells consume more glucose and produce more lactate than control cells, with this study, we want to suggest another possible mode of action of OTA, involving cellular metabolism and mitochondria. We exposed human proximal tubule cells (HK2 cells) to OTA and studied its influence on mitochondrial performance as well as on the expression of energy homeostasis-involved routing proteins (AMPK and TXNIP) and on glucose transporting and metabolizing proteins. OTA reduced the capacity of mitochondria to increase their oxygen consumption rate forcing the cells to switch to the ineffective anaerobic glycolysis which demands higher glucose availability. The higher glucose demand is met by augmented cellular glycogen degradation and increased glucose uptake capabilities by increasing glucose transporter expression. We conclude that OTA exposure leads to impaired mitochondria, which forces the cells to alter their metabolism in order to ensure energy supply. We suggest to consider a possible effect of OTA on metabolism and mitochondria and to have a closer look on OTA-induced changes in the metabolome as possible additional players in OTA toxicity.
