Queer as in Abolition Now!
Authors: Bey Marquis , Goldberg Jesse A. 
Published: March 2022

Abstract
“Queer as in Abolition Now!” introduces the special issue “Queer Fire: Liberation and Abolition.” The issue brings together scholars, artists, and writers working at the intersections of queer theory, critical race studies, and radical activist movements to consider prison abolition as a project of queer liberation and queer liberation as an abolitionist project. Pushing beyond observations that prisons disproportionately harm queer people, the contributors demonstrate that gender itself is a carceral system and demand that gender and sexuality, too, be subject to abolition. Drawing on methodologies from the social sciences, humanities, and fine arts, contributors offer fresh vocabularies and analytical lenses to the ongoing work of constructing liberatory futures without prisons, police, or the tyranny of colonial gender systems.
Notes on the (Im)possibilities of an Anti-colonial Queer Abolition of the (Carceral) World
Authors: Martins Alexandre , Coelho Caia Maria 
Published: March 2022

AbstractThis article aims to reflect on the politics of contemporary carceral LGBT movements and to delineate the (im)possibilities of an anti-colonial queer abolitionism. From the southern Americas, the authors elaborate a brief genealogy of the punishment of queer bodies in Brazil, marking the impossible promises of safety made by the penal “cystem.” By elaborating a critique of carcerality in LGBT contemporary politics, the authors argue for a refusal of the colonial world's solutions to violence. Amid (im)possibilities, this article formulates some elements for anti-colonial, queer abolitionist practices that envision the end of prisons and police, as well as the abolition of gender, sexuality, class, and race as structures of this world. It presents the refusal, the imagination, an ethics of incommensurability, and an active daily building of other possibilities as imbricated elements of anti-colonial, queer abolitionist struggles. Those practices may well be a path to set on fire this world, this present prison house, in the name of queer abolitionist futures.
Representational Refusal and the Embodiment of Gender Abolition
Authors: Triburgo Lorenzo , Van Dyck Sarah 
Published: March 2022

Abstract
The crisis of mass incarceration has made its way into US mainstream politics in the last five years owing in large part to the transgender activists of color who have been at the forefront of prison abolitionist movements for the last five decades. While mainstream media displays a seemingly insatiable visual appetite for trans and queer bodies, transgender women and trans-queer people—particularly those of color—continue to experience violence and criminalization at increasingly high rates. If we are to understand the prison industrial complex as an infrastructure of oppression upheld in part by the dominant narrative that people of color, poor people, and queer people are “dangerous” (to the white-capitalist-heteropatriarchy), it is critical to examine the visual language of criminalizing queerness and to further consider the work of artists grappling with efforts to shift the narrative while remaining wary of the traps of visibility.

Objective:
To examine whether the machine-learning approach using 18-fludeoxyglucose positron emission tomography (18F-FDG-PET)-based radiomic and deep-learning features is useful for predicting the pathological risk subtypes of thymic epithelial tumors (TETs).

Methods:
This retrospective study included 79 TET [27 low-risk thymomas (types A, AB and B1), 31 high-risk thymomas (types B2 and B3) and 21 thymic carcinomas] patients who underwent pre-therapeutic 18F-FDG-PET/CT. High-risk TETs (high-risk thymomas and thymic carcinomas) were 52 patients. The 107 PET-based radiomic features, including SUV-related parameters [maximum SUV (SUVmax), metabolic tumor volume (MTV), and total lesion glycolysis (TLG)] and 1024 deep-learning features extracted from the convolutional neural network were used to predict the pathological risk subtypes of TETs using six different machine-learning algorithms. The area under the curves (AUCs) were calculated to compare the predictive performances.

Results:
SUV-related parameters yielded the following AUCs for predicting thymic carcinomas: SUVmax 0.713, MTV 0.442, and TLG 0.479 or high-risk TETs: SUVmax 0.673, MTV 0.533, and TLG 0.539. The best-performing algorithm was the logistic regression model for predicting thymic carcinomas (AUC 0.900, accuracy 81.0%), and the random forest (RF) model for high-risk TETs (AUC 0.744, accuracy 72.2%). The AUC was significantly higher in the logistic regression model than three SUV-related parameters for predicting thymic carcinomas, and in the RF model than MTV and TLG for predicting high-risk TETs (each; p &lt; 0.05).

Conclusion:
18F-FDG-PET-based radiomic analysis using a machine-learning approach may be useful for predicting the pathological risk subtypes of TETs.

Advances in knowledge:
Machine-learning approach using 18F-FDG-PET-based radiomic features has the potential to predict the pathological risk subtypes of TETs.

Published: March 2022

Objective
To retrospectively analyze radiotherapy (RT) regimens for patients with high-risk neuroblastoma (HRNB) at the primary site after surgery, and to further analyze the characteristics of patients who would benefit more from RT.

Methods
98 pediatric patients with HRNB were analyzed for local control (LC), RT dose, extent of excision and prognostic factors. Among them, 69 children received RT.

Results
The 3 year LC rates were 96.9 and 62.1% (p &lt; 0.001) in the RT and non-RT groups, respectively. In the non-RT group, LC was better in patients with complete macroscopic resection (CME) than in those with incomplete macroscopic resection (IME) (p = 0.026), while in the RT group, no significant difference in LC was found (p = 0.985). Among patients with IME, the LC was 100% in patients with RT doses &gt;= 36 Gy and 66.7% in patients with doses &lt;36 Gy.

Conclusion
RT is valuable, provides patients with excellent LC, and is safe in the short term. RT had a complementary therapeutic effect on incompletely resected tumors, thus bringing their LC to the level of patients with CME. For patients with IME, RT at a dose of not less than 36 Gy may improve LC.

Advances in knowledge
This study analysed the role of radiotherapy in HRNB, investigated the dose of RT depending on the degree of resection, and explored the characteristics of patients who would benefit more from RT.

Published: March 2022

Background: Online laboratories that provide online experimentation are crucial for education and research in all fields of engineering. As a transformative technology, the digital twin can be potentially applied into online laboratories to enable physical-digital twin interactions and enhance user experience. Methods: In this article, web-based digital twin online laboratories are discussed, the methodologies and implementation of which are presented in detail. The digital twin architecture, three-dimensional twin model, web-based digital twin control algorithm design, and real-time physical-twin control are explored to provide a full picture for the design and implementation of digital twin online laboratory systems. To illustrate the effectiveness of the proposed methodologies, a use case with the Networked Control System Laboratory (a previously developed control and automation laboratory) is provided, which details the design and implementation. Results: A four-tier web architecture has been implemented. With the provided web interface, control algorithms can be designed and employed for real-time digital twin experimentation. The experimental results demonstrated that the physical-digital twin fan speed control system can achieve good control and tracking performance with human-in-the-loop interactions. Conclusions: This article presents the methodologies and implementation of digital twin web-based online laboratories. The use case verified the proposed web architecture, digital twin implementation, control architecture, and human-in-the-loop interactions for a digital twin experimentation system, which can potentially be used for the design and implementation of other digital-twin applications in different fields.

Published: March 2022

Background: The oral cavity harbors many microbes that may cause diseases, including dental caries and periodontal diseases. Progressive inflammation from periodontal diseases may lead to gum detachment from the teeth. Povidone-iodine and chlorhexidine mouth rinses and gargles are broad-spectrum antimicrobial products that effectively manage dental caries and periodontal diseases and eliminate plaques. This study was conducted in Nairobi County, Kenya to establish the quality of povidone-iodine and chlorhexidine oral care products by determining the content of the active pharmaceutical ingredient and compliance with labeling requirements. Methods: A total of 34 samples (from 15 brands) of povidone-iodine and 15 samples (from nine brands) of chlorhexidine were collected from retail pharmacies using convenience sampling. All samples were subjected to labeling analysis, identity, and assay tests. Potentiometric titration was used to assay povidone-iodine in the samples, while chlorhexidine was assayed using high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) according to British Pharmacopeia 2017 specifications. Results: All samples complied with identification tests. Moreover, 47.1% of povidone-iodine and 66.7% of chlorhexidine products complied with pharmacopoeial assay specifications. Five povidone-iodine (14.7%) and four chlorhexidine (26.7%) samples had missing label information on the storage conditions and the address of the manufacturer. Conclusions: Strict adherence to current Good Manufacturing Practices (cGMP) by manufacturers of povidone-iodine and chlorhexidine mouthwashes/gargles is necessary to guarantee quality assured products in the market. Regular post-market surveillance and regulatory enforcement of standards are instrumental in minimizing the circulation of poor-quality products.

Introduction: Faith and systems of beliefs are known to impact not only the emotional, but also the immunological state of believers in ways that we are just starting to understand. Moreover, clinical implications of previous studies are limited. The aim of the “HEALING” (Hospital-based Ecumenical and Linguistic Immuno-NeuroloGic) Study was to examine immunological and neurological changes in hospitalized patients after meeting a chaplain coupled with biblical readings. Methods: Hospitalized patients were pre-screened to find those who were the most in need of an intervention. A passage from the Bible was read to them during a meeting with the chaplain at the bedside (n= 20) or in the chapel (n= 18). No meeting occurred in the randomized control group (n=19). Blood samples were taken 30 minutes prior, and 60 minutes after the meeting to measure white blood cells (WBC), interferon gamma (IFN-γ), immunoglobulin M (IgM), IgA, IgG, and complement 3 (C3). A subgroup of the visited patients was subjected to functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI), where they were played an audiotape of readings of the same passage from the Bible (n=21). Results: Lymphocyte counts increased more often after the more successful visits, but the immunological changes were not significant. Conversely, a significant (pfwe=0.003) correlation was revealed between changes in lymphocytes and activation of the angular gyrus (left BA39) during fMRI, a brain area involved in word recognition. Conclusions: Although limited by the sample size and cohort study design, the findings suggest the depth of psycho-immunological changes could depend on the degree to which the chaplains’ main message is understood.

Published: March 2022

The purpose of this work was to clarify the crystallogenic properties of pseudomonads under the action of an antiseptic.
Material and methods. The material for the study was 8 strains of P. aeruginosa isolated from patients of the burn Department. In accordance with the purpose and objectives of the study, the work was performed in 3 stages: assessment of the biological properties of isolated pseudomonad strains; determination of sensitivity to disinfectants by the square method; assessment of the crystallogenic (initiating) activity of pseudomonads in individual and joint form with the disinfectant. The tested antiseptic was “Desam” in the form of a standard 1% solution used for disinfection of surfaces and medical instruments.
Results. It was found that all the studied Pseudomonas strains have the ability to activate the crystallogenesis of the basic substance (0.9% sodium chloride solution), which manifests itself both in qualitative and quantitative changes in the thesigraphic picture. It is shown that the addition of a common disinfectant (“Desam”) to the system “Pseudomonas aeruginosa – 0.9% sodium chloride solution” significantly transforms its dehydration structuring. At the same time, strains of the microorganism resistant to disinfectants moderately reduce the crystal’s gene activity (according to the main teziographic coefficient and belt coefficient). On the contrary, sensitive strains demonstrate a pronounced inhibition of the crystallogenesis of the basic substance. It allows to develop a new express method for determining the sensitivity of microorganisms to disinfectants.

Authors: Polukhin Nikita V. , Ekkert Natalia V. , Kozlov Vasiliy V. 
Published: March 2022

Background. The evolving digital society stresses the importance of online health communication. The majority of studies observe digital communication from expert and legal but not patient perspectives.
Purpose. To explore information and consumer preferences of the Russian Federation population on healthcare facilities websites.
Materials and methods. The study involved 1319 respondents of the internet-based survey. Using a 5-point Likert-like scale, participants were asked to measure the importance of healthcare facilities website elements from 1 (“not important”) to 5 (“very important”).
The analysis included the estimation of proportions of those who rated elements as important or somewhat important and following principal component analysis with varimax rotations. All analyses were carried out using IBM SPSS Statistics, version 26.
Results. The greatest proportions of participants who reported the importance were observed in contact information (77.8%; 95% CI: 75.5–80.0%), testimonials (65.8%; 95% CI: 63.2–68.3%), information about staff (65.0%; 95% CI: 62.4–67.6%), website loading speed (64.6%; 95% CI: 62.0–67.1%), and its responsiveness (63.0%; 95% CI: 60.4–65.6%). Six factors were extracted, accounting for 43.3% of the total variance: (1) “general interest in information about a healthcare facility,” (2) “online services-seeking,” (3) “health publications-seeking,” (4) “visual appeal perception,” (5) “social vulnerability or health limitations,” and (6) “interest in healthcare facility public (non-medical) activity”.
Conclusion. Healthcare facilities websites should provide information and functions not only based on existing legal acts requirements but based on patients’ preferences and needs.
ON THE BIOLOGICAL ROLE OF CHOLINE IN HUMAN AND HIGHER ANIMAL ORGANISMS (A LITERATURE REVIEW)
Authors: Bekker Roman A. , Bykov Yuriy V. , Bykova Anastasia Yu. 
Published: March 2022

Purpose. To provide the reader a detailed literature review regarding the history of the discovery of choline, then the history of further research on its biological role in human and higher animal organisms. Describe in detail the mechanisms of choline biosynthesis, absorption, transport and metabolism in human and higher animals, the variety of physiological functions performed by the choline itself and by its derivatives. Describe the various symptoms of dietary choline deficiency. Provide to the reader the data regarding the US and EU minimum recommended dietary intake of choline.
Methodology. We began our work by studying the literature on the history of medicine, as well as encyclopedic literature on vitamins and vitamin-like compounds, and books on biochemistry. Then we used the search engines PubMed and ScienceDirect to find relevant articles discussing the biological role of choline, its biosynthesis, absorption, transport, and symptoms of its deficiency. We then used materials from the US National Academy of Medicine and the European Food Safety Agency’s RDA for choline from food.
Results. The data we found and presented in this literature review on the biological role of choline in humans and higher animals convincingly indicate the important role of sufficient consumption of choline in the daily diet for maintaining overall health. Sufficient dietary choline is needed to maintain the normal state of the skin and its appendages, articular cartilage, skeletal muscles, to support the normal functioning of the liver and the endocrine system (especially the cortex and the medulla of the adrenal glands, and the gonads), to prevent stone formation in bile, to improve memory and cognitive functioning, to reduce blood plasma atherogenicity and improve its lipid profile, to delay the development of atherosclerosis.
Practical implications. The results we presented there deserve the widest application in various fields of both human medicine and veterinary medicine.

Aims Low-energy distal radius fractures (DRFs) are the most common upper arm fractures correlated with bone fragility. Vitamin D deficiency is an important risk factor associated with DRFs. However, the relationship between DRF severity and vitamin D deficiency is not elucidated. Therefore, this study aimed to identify the correlation between DRF severity and serum 25-hydroxyvitamin-D level, which is an indicator of vitamin D deficiency. Methods This multicentre retrospective observational study enrolled 122 female patients aged over 45 years with DRFs with extension deformity. DRF severity was assessed by three independent examiners using 3D CT. Moreover, it was categorized based on the AO classification, and the degree of articular and volar cortex comminution was evaluated. Articular comminution was defined as an articular fragment involving three or more fragments, and volar cortex comminution as a fracture in the volar cortex of the distal fragment. Serum 25-hydroxyvitamin-D level, bone metabolic markers, and bone mineral density (BMD) at the lumbar spine, hip, and wrist were evaluated six months after injury. According to DRF severity, serum 25-hydroxyvitamin-D level, parameters correlated with bone metabolism, and BMD was compared. Results The articular comminuted group (n = 28) had a significantly lower median serum 25-hydroxyvitamin-D level than the non-comminuted group (n = 94; 13.4 ng/ml (interquartile range (IQR) 9.8 to 17.3) vs 16.2 ng/ml (IQR 12.5 to 20.4); p = 0.005). The AO classification and volar cortex comminution were not correlated with the serum 25-hydroxyvitamin-D level. Bone metabolic markers and BMD did not significantly differ in terms of DRF severities. Conclusion Articular comminuted DRF, referred to as AO C3 fracture, is significantly associated with low serum 25-hydroxyvitamin-D levels. Therefore, vitamin D3 supplementation for vitamin D deficiency might prevent articular comminuted DRFs. Nevertheless, further studies must be conducted to validate the results of the current study.

El llenguado (2020), de TV3. I això com es menja?
Authors: Massanell i Messalles Mar 
Published: March 2022

El llenguado és un programa sobre llengua sorgit del Departament de Nous Formats de TV3 i emès per aquesta cadena entre el 15 de gener i el 25 de març de 2020. Malgrat que es va enregistrar just després que l’Institut d’Estudis Catalans enllestís l’actualització de la normativa ortogràfica i gramatical de la llengua catalana. El llenguado no està concebut com un espai de divulgació de la normativa. Amb un format propi d’un programa d’entreteniment, persegueix afavorir l’extensió social del català, en un context de preocupació pels resultats de les enquestes d’usos lingüístics de la població desenvolupades per l’IdesCat i la Direcció General de Política Lingüística. Per a assolir l’objectiu de fer perdre la por de parlar català independentment del nivell de coneixement que se’n tingui, el programa adopta una «actitud dessolemnitzadora» en el tractament de la llengua.
¿Alquiler o sustitución del embarazo? Sobre la importancia de los significantes en la construcción de sentido
Authors: Cristina Mariana 
Published: March 2022

En este artículo presentaré la importancia de revisar críticamente los términos usuales utilizados para denominar al vínculo que se establece entre quien gesta para otras personas y quienes requieren esa gestación para tener un bebé, con la intención de proponer un significante, a mi entender, más adecuado: relación de alquiler/sustitución del embarazo. Para ello, en primer lugar, aludiré sucintamente a cómo el uso del lenguaje en reproducción asistida no es neutral. En segundo lugar, examinaré las nomenclaturas más utilizadas en lengua castellana como por ejemplo “alquiler de vientre” y “gestación por sustitución”, entre otras, y las analizaré a través de dos criterios: el rol de la persona gestante y el tipo de relación entre quien gesta y quien/es quieren ser madre/s y/o padre/s Por último, utilizaré ambos criterios para proponer el nuevo significante.
