Monet at a Glance: A Dynamic, Ekphrastic Encounter in Michèle Roberts’s “On the Beach at Trouville”
Authors: Goszczyńska Marta 
Published: November 2022

The essay analyzes Michèle Roberts’s 2012 story “On the Beach at Trouville” as an ekphrasis of Claude Monet’s early Impressionist painting, The Beach at Trouville. It first approaches the narrative though W. J. T. Mitchell’s model in which ekphrasis is understood as staging “a war of signs,” only to conclude that the dynamics between the painting and the story is too complex to be satisfactorily explained in these terms. As a result, the essay moves on to read the story as an “ekphrastic encounter” and uses Norman Bryson’s concept of the glance to account for what happens between Roberts’s text and Monet’s image. Bryson discusses the glance in opposition to the totalizing, immobile and disembodied gaze and understands it both as a way of looking and painting. The essay reveals how the glance can be used to explain important dimensions of Roberts’s ekphrastic project: its depiction of Monet’s picture as a semiotic system of arbitrary signs, its emphasis on the durational, performative aspect of painting, its insistence on the contingent nature of interpretation, and, finally, its attempts to mimic Monet’s Impressionist style. All these features, the essay argues, allow Roberts to transform her story into a dynamic scene of intermedial dialogue where word and image enter a relation of what Stephen Scobie describes as “reciprocal supplementarity.”
Nec Tecum Nec Sine Te: The Inseparability of Word and Image in Virginia Woolf
Authors: Hołda Małgorzata 
Published: November 2022

This article explores the interaction of verbal and visual art in Virginia Woolf’s fiction, exemplified by her novel, To the Lighthouse. The narrative of the novel not only features scenes of the painting of the Ramsays’ portrait, but it unfolds as the creative process advances and concludes with Lily’s final stroke of her brush. While words are used to enact the process of creation, visual art serves as both a frame and a basis for the verbal. The synergistic movement of storytelling and the act of painting a picture “within the narrative” is more than an interesting instance of ekphrasis. In To the Lighthouse, words operate like pictures—according to Horace’s maxim, ut pictura poesis—and pictures work like words. Art’s resonance in the novel extends beyond depicting the process of painting. I examine Woolf’s aesthetic sensitivity and creative talent in relation to Paul Cézanne’s and Paul Klee’s art. The proximity between Woolf’s novel and the works of the two painters encourages us to view the role of shape and color in the two seemingly separate arts as the space for uncovering some vital truth about our being-in-the-word.
Química analítica básica
Authors: Andrade João Carlos de 
Published: November 2022

Algumas reações químicas podem resultar na formação de substâncias pouco solúveis, gerando o aparecimento de uma outra fase no meio reacional, como um precipitado. A exemplo das demais, essas reações são regidas pelas leis que descrevem os equilíbrios químicos e mostram a possibilidade da coexistência de interações simultâneas. De fato, a simples mudança no pH de uma solução poderá induzir, simultaneamente, a formação (ou dissolução) de precipitados, a formação de complexos e variações nos potenciais de óxido-redução de possíveis pares redox que possam estar envolvidos no sistema químico em observação, até que uma nova situação de equilíbrio seja atingida. Sendo as reações de precipitação muito usadas na separação e purificação de substâncias e em gravimetria, uma das mais antigas técnicas de análise quantitativa, é importante conhecer os fenômenos envolvidos na formação de precipitados.
Kinetic arrest during the drying of cellulose nanocrystal films from aqueous suspensions analogous to the freezing of thermal motions
Authors: Chang Meng-Hsiang , Oh-e Masahito 
Published: November 2022

Abstract
A comprehensive understanding of controlling the iridescence of cellulose films by manipulating the alignment and helical pitch of cellulose nanocrystals (CNCs) is required to advance cellulose photonics and its optoelectronic applications. Aqueous suspensions of CNCs exhibit a cholesteric liquid crystal (LC) phase with structural color; however, attaining a uniformly colored film is extremely difficult. Presumably, because multiple interrelated factors influence the CNC molecular alignment and helical pitch, existing models are not necessarily conclusive and remain a subject of debate. To eventually achieve homogeneously colored films, we compare aqueous CNC suspensions as a lyotropic liquid LC with thermotropic ones, and we spectroscopically confirm that the coloration of CNC droplets originates from the periodic CNC structure. The suspension drying process significantly influences the quality of iridescence of CNC films. Rapidly drying a droplet of a CNC suspension forms a concentric rainbow film, with red edges and a blue center, typical of the coffee-ring effect observed in air-dried films. By contrast, slow drying under controlled humidity, which reduces capillary flow, provides higher uniformity and a large blue area. Orbitally shaking films while drying under high humidity further improves the uniformity. Therefore, the evaporation rate significantly influences the thermodynamically stabilized helical pitch of CNCs, which determines the structural color. We qualitatively model the kinetic arrest induced by the rapid evaporation of lyotropic LCs in a manner equivalent to that induced by the rate of temperature change in thermotropic LCs and other materials.

Abstract
Purpose: Though copy number variants (CNVs) have been suggested to play a significant role in inborn errors of immunity (IEI), the precise nature of this role remains largely unexplored. Thus, we sought to determine the diagnostic contribution of CNVs using genome-wide chromosomal microarray analysis (CMA) in children with suspected or known IEI.
Methods: We performed exome sequencing (ES) and CMA for 332 unrelated pediatric probands referred for evaluation of IEI. The analysis included primary, secondary, and incidental findings.
Results: Of the 332 probands, 134 (40.4%) received molecular diagnoses. Of these, 116/134 (86.6%) were diagnosed by ES alone. An additional 15/134 (11.2%) were diagnosed by CMA alone, including two likely de novochanges. Three (2.2%) participants had diagnostic molecular findings from both ES and CMA, including two compound heterozygotes and one patient with two distinct diagnoses. Half of the participants with CMA contribution to diagnosis had CNVs in at least one non-immune gene, highlighting the clinical complexity of these cases. Overall, CMA contributed to 18/134 diagnoses (13.4%), increasing the overall diagnostic yield by 15.5%.
Conclusion: Pairing ES and CMA can provide a comprehensive evaluation to clarify the complex factors that contribute to both immune and non-immune phenotypes. Such a combined approach to genetic testing helps untangle complex phenotypes, not only by clarifying the differential diagnosis, but in some cases by identifying multiple diagnoses contributing to the overall clinical presentation.

Published: November 2022

Abstract
Bladder cancer (BC) is one of the most common cancers worldwide. T-cell immunoglobulin and mucin domain 1 (TIM-1) is involved in the progression of multiple tumors. The role of TIM-1 in BC progression is poorly understood. In the present study, we searched the Gene Expression Profiling Interactive Analysis (GEPIA) database and performed immunohistochemistry (IHC) to assess TIM-1 protein expression in bladder cancer (BC) patients. The results demonstrated that BC with high TIM-1 expression was associated with longer overall survival (OS) and disease-specific survival (DSS) than BC with low TIM-1 expression. Overexpression of TIM-1 inhibited BC cell proliferation in both cell culture and animal experiments. RNA sequencing data indicated that interferon-induced protein with tetratricopeptide repeats (IFIT) genes induced by interferon-α (IFN-α) were significantly enriched among the genes upregulated by overexpression of TIM-1. Mechanistically, our data revealed that TIM-1 promoted IFN-α release and activated the IFIT2/p-STAT1 pathway, which is known to be related to tumor cell proliferation. Moreover, knockdown of IFIT2 in TIM-1-overexpressing BC cells hindered the tumor suppressive effect of TIM-1. Our results revealed TIM-1 as a potential molecular marker for prognosis in BC and indicate that high TIM-1 expression suppresses BC cell proliferation in an IFIT2/p-STAT1-dependent manner.

Published: November 2022

Abstract
Objective: To study and categorize the content available to patients with polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS) on the Instagram social media platform and assess how post content relates to user engagement.
Design: This is a retrospective content analysis, where the five most commonly used PCOS hashtags on Instagram were analyzed: #PCOS, #PCOSinfertility, #PCOSweightloss, #PCOSdiet, and #PCOSawareness. Only English language posts were included. For every hashtag, the first 25 posts were reviewed daily for 30 days. Posts were reviewed for: type of post (picture, video, reel), type of account by user profile (account dedicated to only PCOS, nutritionist account, physician account, lifestyle coach, fitness trainer), post engagement (measured by number of likes), and post category (advertisement, motivational content, including posts containing messages of support and encouragement for patients with PCOS, and educational content). Differences between number of posts by hashtag and category were analyzed using a one-way analysis of variance (ANOVA). Post hoc analyses were done using Tukey’s HSD. All statistical analyses were done in R version 1.3.1093.
Results: A total of 3801 posts were recorded during the sampling period, with 5.4% (204 posts) categorized as advertisements, 29.7% (1130 posts) as educational, and 64.9% (2467 posts) as motivational posts. There was no significant difference in the number of posts by hashtag (F4,10=0.001, p=1.00). There was a significant difference in number of posts by category (F2,12=175.7, p<0.00), with motivational as the most posted category, educational the second most posted, and advertisements the least posted. Motivational posts were the most common and also had the most engagement. Regarding type of accounts, the most engaging posts were from accounts dedicated only to PCOS (TukeyHSD; p =0.006), which also included PCOS coaches’, PCOS dieticians’, and PCOS nutritionists’ accounts.
Conclusion: Most PCOS content shared on Instagram is considered motivational and is related to health and wellness as the post was from fitness coaches, dieticians, and nutritionists. Accounts dedicated to PCOS were engaged with the most whether the content was educational or motivational. Given the high dedication to motivational and educational posts, patients with PCOS may be encouraged by physicians to use Instagram for support and information related to the disease.
Changes of Pastoral Mobility under Farmland Exploitation: a case from Altay District, Xinjiang, China
Authors: mao xixi , zeng xiangming 
Published: November 2022

Abstract
The pastoral mobility of Kazakh nomads changes a lot due to large-scale farmland exploitation in North Xinjiang, China. We analyze the changes in nomadic pastoral mobility. We have collected some interview data through field research from a small town inhabited by Kazakh nomads in Fuyun County, Altay district of North Xinjiang, China. We find that pastoral mobility remains to a certain degree and the large-scale farmland exploitation has changed the nomadic pastoral mobility time, pastoral mobility organization, pastoral mobility range, and pastoral mobility distance. This condition is caused by the unstable amount of straw that is not sufficient for the flocks in a year because the expansion of farmland exploitation could be no limitation with the uncertainty of snowfall and rainfall in a drought area. Besides, the cultural reason also makes the nomadic pastoral mobility maintained to a certain degree.

Published: November 2022

Abstract
Orthotropic steel deck (OSD) structures are widely used in the bridge deck system of rail transit bridges. Reducing the amplitude of stress intensity factor is the most effective method to improve the fatigue life of OSD structures. In order to explore the fatigue crack propagation of OSD structure and the factors affecting the amplitude of structural stress intensity factor, linear elastic fracture mechanics and paris law is used for theoretical support in this paper. Firstly, a cable-stayed bridge of urban rail transit is taken as the research object, and a full-scale segment model of OSD structure is designed and static and fatigue tests are carried out. Based on the test data, the fatigue life of the structure is simulated and predicted. Finally, ABAQUS and Franc3D are used to analyze the influence of parameters, such as U-rib thickness, roof thickness and diaphragm thickness of OSD structure, on the amplitude of stress intensity factor. The test and FEM analysis results show that, the thickness of diaphragm and the height of U-rib have little effect on the fatigue life of OSD structure, appropriately increasing the thickness of top plate and U-rib has a positive significance for prolonging the fatigue life of the structure.

Abstract
Objective: To discuss the strategy and efficacy of neuroendoscopic surgery for the treatment of epidermoid cysts in the base of the skull.
Methods: This study retrospectively analyzed the clinical data of 28 patients with epidermoid cysts in the base of their skulls and treated by neuroendoscopic surgery in the Department of Neurosurgery at The First Affiliated Hospital of Bengbu Medical College from January 2015 to April 2022. Of the 28 cases, 22 cases received surgery through the retrosigmoid sinus approach, two cases received surgery through the nasal sphenoidal approach and four cases received surgery through the anterior infratemporal rock approach. Postoperative follow-up was performed to determine the operative effect and record complications.
Result: Of the 28 patients, 15 were male and 13 were female; age ranged from 31 to 67 years (mean, 46±7 years). Headache and dizziness were the most common symptoms. Gross-total/near-total resection was performed in 27 cases (96.4%) and subtotal resection in one case (3.6%). The preoperative symptoms of all patients were relieved to varying degrees. With regards to postoperative conditions of the 28 patients; intracranial infection occurred in two patients (7.1%), aseptic meningitis in four patients (14.3%), still right abducens nerve palsy in one patient (3.6%) and acute obstructive hydrocephalus in one patient (3.6%); cerebrospinal fluid rhinorrhea was not observed in any of the patients. During follow-up, one patient (3.6%) developed residual cyst enlargement and one patient (3.6%) developed obstructive hydrocephalus.
Conclusion: Neuroendoscopic surgery can significantly improve the resection rate of epidermoid cysts in the base of the skull, reduce trauma and traction on important structures, reduce postoperative complications, shorten the length of hospital stay, and is a safe and effective procedure.

Published: November 2022

Abstract
Biological contamination is one of the main bottlenecks in the production of microalgae, reducing quality and productivity, sometimes leading to complete loss of the cultures. This work evaluated the presence of bacterial contaminants in N. oleoabundans cultures through HTS and 16S analysis and their susceptibility to 6 natural terpenes (α-pinene, β-pinene, limonene, trans-cinnamaldehyde, linalool, and eugenol). The principal phyla identified were Proteobacteria, Bacteroidetes and Actinobacteria, and based on these data, 89 bacterial isolates of seven genera were obtained (36 Aureimonas sp., 27 Microbacterium sp., 5 Pseudomonas sp., 9 Bacillus sp., 14 Shinella sp., 1 Brevundimonas sp., and 1 Exiguobacterium sp.). The minimal inhibitory concentration of terpenes was 6.25 mg. mL− 1, with a reduction in bacterial counts of most isolates by 79% − 99%. The use of selected terpenes can be a pathway towards eco-friendly contamination control in microalgae cultures.

Published: November 2022

Abstract
Aims
There is compelling evidence from experiments and observations that the soil environment in the non-growing season influences vegetation in alpine regions. The differences of response to freeze-thaw process among alpine species of root traits such as morphology and anatomical are still lacking.
Methods
We measured functional root traits of six species by digging and growth chambers over freezing and thawing periods in a semi-arid steppe environment on the Tibetan Plateau.
Results
The uniformity of root traits was more obvious in spring than that in late autumn. Most importantly, fine-and shallow-root presented acquisitive syndromes in spring. Root morphological and anatomical traits affect freeze-thaw cycles by influencing root water and nutrient uptake.
Conclusions
In consistent with traditional views on the acquisition strategy was shown by root morphological traits in alpine fine root during freeze-thaw period. Shallow-root had similar response to freeze-thaw environmental conditions for these alpine plant species.

Abstract
The unique behavior of silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) led to their increasing use in a wide range of products and high discharge of these particles in the aquatic ecosystem. Regarding little information about the toxicity of AgNPs in the aquatic environment, the prediction of possible environmental hazards is the hot topic of current research studies. This study aimed to investigate the effects of long-time exposure of Asian seabass (Lates calcarifer)‎ to green (using brown macroalga extract) and chemical synthesized ‎AgNPs on oxidant/antioxidant and immunological responses. The LC50 of both synthesized AgNPs was determined after 96 h (LC50 for green synthesize AgNPs= 18.27 mg/l and for chemical synthesize AgNPs= 1.32 mg/l). Fish were exposed to green and chemical synthesized AgNPs concentrations of 0% LC50 (control), 5% LC50 , 10% LC50, and 25% LC50 for 60 days. Fish were sampled at 1, 30, and 60 days after exposure. The liver tissue of fish samples was isolated and homogenized and then the activity of catalase (CAT), superoxide dismutase (SOD) and glutathione (GSH), and malondialdehyde (MDA) was determined. The complement pathway activity (ACP), total immunoglobulin (Ig), total protein, albumin (ALB) ‎concentration, and globulin (GLO) were measured in fish blood samples. The results showed that green synthesized ‎AgNPs first ‎increased the activity of the antioxidant system and then significantly reduced its activity. However, after exposure to chemical synthesized AgNPs, ‎the activity of the antioxidant system showed a significant decrease. Both green and ‎chemical synthesized AgNP exposure caused an increase in proinflammatory activities and ‎immune proteins, and these activities were more ‎pronounced after exposure to green synthesized AgNP.

Abstract
Soil factors, especially metal elements in the soil, play a significant role in forming and accumulating secondary metabolites, which determine the medicinal properties of medicinal herbs. In this study, the concentrations of some metal elements (K, Mn, Fe, Cu, Zn, and Cr) in Cam Mountain and Tinh Bien Town, An Giang Province, Vietnam, were determined using the XRF method. We simultaneously determined the total phenolic and flavonoid content of some medicinal herbs collected from the collected soil sample areas, thereby assessing the influence of these elements on the formation of secondary metabolites in medicinal plants. The results showed that K, Mn, and Cr were mainly concentrated in the topsoil and transition layers; Fe and Cu elements tended to concentrate in the transition layer and the subsoil when surveying the soil profile. K, Mn, Cu, and Cr concentrations were more focused in Tinh Bien area, while Fe and Zn had higher concentrations at Cam Mountain. Additionally, results from evaluating the relationship between the content of the elements in the soil and the content of two active compounds also showed the corresponding relationship between Cr/Phenolic, Cu/Phenolic, and Zn/Flavonoid (R2 = 0.74; R2 = 0.75; R2 = 0.90, respectively) with the corresponding correlation equations at level six.
