description: Trace metal ions in aqueous samples may be separated and preconcentrated by solid phase extraction (SPE) prior to their determination by flame atomic absorption spectrometry (FAAS). The trace amounts of heavy metals can form complex with D2EHPA -MWCNTs. The quantitative adsorption was at pH 5.0 with a flow rate of 2 mL−1. The adsorbed metal ions can be eluted with 2.0 mol L−1 HNO3. The highest enrichment factor was 25. The thermodynamic parameter (ΔG) revealed that the adsorption was spontaneous. The procedure was applied to the determination of copper, nickel, lead, zinc and cadmium in laboratory water, well water and electroplating wastewater samples.

description: α,ω-Hydroxy telechelic poly(ε-caprolactone)s (HOPCLOHs) were prepared by ring-opening polymerization (ROP) of the ε-caprolactone (CL) catalyst by ammonium decamolybdate (NH4)8[Mo10O34] in the presence of different aliphatic diols [HO-(CH2)m-OH, where m = 2,4,6,7,8,10,12,14,16] as initiators to obtain a family of HOPCLOH [HO-PCL-O-(CH2)m-O-PCL-OH, m = 2,4,6,7,8,10,12,14, and 16]. The content of the alkyl group (AG,-(CH2)m-) had an important effect on the crystallinity (xi) of HOPCLOH, showing a proportional relationship. Poly(ester-urethane)s (PEUs) derived from HOPCLOHs and 1,6-hexamethylene diisocyanate (HDI), the AG also showed a similar effect on the xi and eventually on the mechanical properties, increasing the values of the modulus. Therefore, AG content was a factor to induce a plastic behavior in PEUs. The effect of AG on the water uptake of PEUs after one week was negligible.

description: Public trust in institutions is a key prerequisite for effective crisis management. However, the rise of populism and misinformation in recent years made it increasingly difficult to maintain institutional trust. Despite this recognition, we still lack a systematic understanding of how exposure to misinformation and populist political orientation affect people’s trust in institutions. This paper fills this gap by adopting an original approach to trust, focusing on prospective trust rather than trust in the present, and by comparing four countries led by populist leaders during the pandemic – Brazil, Poland, Serbia, and the United States. The comparative design allows us to consider not only the role of individual-level factors (populist attitudes and misinformation exposure) but also the role of different approaches to the COVID-19 pandemic adopted in the four countries. The study utilizes data from a cross-sectional survey, carried out between November and December 2022 (N = 5000). Our findings show that populist attitudes are the most significant predictor of distrust in political institutions in all four countries. Believing in false information related to COVID-19, on the other hand, has a stronger impact on distrust in expert institutions – public health authorities, scientists, and medical professionals. The data also highlight the importance of local context and different approaches to handling the pandemic in the dynamics of trust. In Poland and Serbia, populist voters have more trust in both healthcare authorities as well as in political institutions; however, in Brazil and the United States, populist voters were more likely to distrust expert institutions.

description: In recent years, research on the existence and impact of echo chambers has proposed mixed perspectives. Several studies have pointed out that actual social media networks are segregated based on users’ preferences regarding specific topics, limiting opportunities for exposure to opposing opinions and thus suggesting the formation of echo chambers. On the other hand, several studies suggest that echo chambers are overstated, as the followers of mainstream media provided opportunities to be exposed to information that contradicts their own preferences. We assumed that these conflicting perspectives arise from variations in the diversity of topics in their research area. Therefore, we examined how the increase in topics within communication spaces on social media affects the formation of echo chambers. Experiments based on Multi-Agent Simulations reveal that echo chambers were formed when the number of topics was small, but as the number of topics increased, the formation of echo chambers was inhibited. However, in situations involving multiple topics, it is improbable that individuals will address all topics equally. To address this, we applied the concept of agenda-setting effects, enabling agents to recognize topics with more exposure as important and adding conditions to assign weights to those topics in additional experiments. As a result, the network of agents became echo chambers regarding topics recognized as important by most agents. From these results, our study suggests that the contradictory perspectives regarding the existence of echo chambers in related research can be reconciled by considering the ‘number of topics’ and ‘the weights of topics.’

description: This article discusses the conception of an apocryphal narrative of horror cinema, one that centers the experience of spectatorship and what happens after spectators have left the cinema. How are films discussed, digested, and understood in popular culture and in niche fandom spaces? Furthermore, how do these discussions create legacies and contribute to a form of myth that is crafted around not the production or the history of the film itself but, instead, the consumption? I term this narrative the “cinematic apocrypha,” a type of narrative that stems principally from engagement with the film by individuals whose experiences of spectatorship then go on to acquire a sort of legendary status. I develop this notion of cinematic apocrypha through an engagement with Tom Gunning’s theories around the cinema of attraction as well as the cinema of astonishment, bringing together the history of the cinema as a physical (and communal) space that creates the conditions of possibility for extreme reactions. I then bring together specific examples of films (Paranormal Activity and The Exorcist) for discussions of materials around them as core examples of the notion and incarnation of the cinematic apocrypha on a large scale. Notably, I look at trailers for films as objects that endeavor to create a certain narrative for a film before its release, as the trailer is often the first engagement with the cinematic object itself. Finally, I engage with a discussion of film festivals, Cannes in particular, that offer a particular mode of engagement, through audiences whose reactions are often extreme, recorded, and become part of the film’s history itself entrenching further apocryphal narratives in contemporary horror cinema.

description: Prior research indicates that bilinguals make less utilitarian moral decisions in a native versus a foreign language (Costa et al.; Cipolletti, McFarlane, and Weissglass). The present study investigates whether L1 balanced Catalan/Spanish bilinguals similarly make less utilitarian moral decisions in their Language of Identity (“LOI”), and whether education level mediates this phenomenon. Data were analyzed from 84 university students and 80 secondary students in Catalonia. Participants read two scenarios of the classic Trolley Problem (Thomson 205) and chose whether to sacrifice one life to save five, either by pushing a man over a footbridge or pulling a switch. Fixed effects logistic regression models were constructed for both scenarios. The footbridge model reveals a significant interaction effect between education level and reading the dilemma in the participant’s LOI (p = .0052). A Tukey post-hoc analysis indicates that university students selected the less utilitarian response significantly more often than secondary students, but only when responding in their LOI (p = .0006). These results suggest that future research involving multilingualism and moral decision making should account for cognitive differences related to education level and age. Furthermore, qualitative data from 23 post-hoc interviews demonstrate that LOI is a multidimensional variable whose precise delimitation offers fruitful avenues for future scholarship.

description: The current study uses the novel lattice seeding approach inspired by grass seed growth to combine surface and truss-based structures. The seed lattice (SL) grows with volume from 8%, 24%, 42%, and 72%. These were fabricated using martial extrusion printing from the sustainable polymer polylactic acid. The compression properties were characterized by static loading, and later studies were conducted with different displacement rates. The verification was done using finite element analysis. According to the results, the SL1 structure absorbed the most outstanding amounts of energy, 26% more than the pure surface lattice at 3202 kJ/m3. The SL1 provided the highest modulus and the initial peak strength of 255 and 7.63 MPa, respectively. The inclusion of the seed distributed the stress to more materials, leading to better mechanical properties for 8%–42% seeded lattice. The seeding effect significantly reduced the crack formation ability of the structures under the compression loading. The joints of the unit cells in the compression direction become weaker when the seed amount increases. Overall, the seed successfully enhanced the mechanical properties of the surface lattice, and the 8%–24% seed volume is recommended for these structures.

description: The 1904 Louisiana Purchase Exhibition, often overlooked as a secondary layer of segregation, strategically displayed non-white bodies within their contrived “natural environments.” This exhibition, notably excluding African Americans in its visual narrative, nevertheless conveyed a racialized message through the representation of other ethnic groups. Central to this narrative was the exhibition of Central African pygmies, positioned as a “missing link” between humans and primates, a dehumanizing spectacle framed as educational. The juxtaposition of such “natural environments” against the backdrop of American progressivism underscored a rigid racial hierarchy. The fair spatially staged the Western gaze upon the Other. This gaze can inform our understanding of the current disparities in the city that hosted it. The mirage of the exhibition, where human bodies were subjects of curiosity and their physical appearance a source of amazement destined to distract the viewers, played an important role in strengthening the spatial practices based on race that we observe today in St. Louis. The “natural environment,” facing the “American modernity” traced the path to long-lasting confinement, confirmed the impossible encounter and justified the exclusion of the Other through the deforming perception of the gaze. The exhibition functioned as a powerful propaganda tool, legitimizing racial inequalities and social stratification under the guise of showcasing a so-called “natural order.” The spatial dynamics of the fair not only mirrored but also perpetuated racial divisions, with the 1904 World’s Fair in St. Louis exemplifying the entrenched nature of these disparities. By situating the traditions of the American South within the context of a Midwestern state, the fair served to reinforce and legitimize the existing racial order, entwining regional traditions with national ideologies of race.

description: Few of the parables found in the gospels have received more attention than the parable of the man with two sons, commonly known as the parable of the Prodigal Son. In this paper, I argue that discourses of queer futurity can help make new sense of the parable, highlighting its use of family structures and its assumptions about time, and attending to the story’s reflections on the conditions of flourishing. Understood this way, the parable of the man with two sons reads as a debate over bodies, kinship, and possession of the future, and it provokes reflection on the limits that heteronorming structures place on thriving. Read alongside theorists of queer futurity, the parable of the man with two sons affords at least two possible interpretations. It can be understood as a gesture toward a new horizon, embracing a queer future free of the constraints of heteronormative reproductivity. But the parable can also be understood as a conservative cautionary tale that insists on temporal reproductive norms and pathologises deviance from full alignment toward a heteroreproductive future.

Les écoles coraniques offrent non seulement un certain nombre de connaissances, mais à travers elles, tout un déroulement de la pensée socioculturelle qui ne correspond pas au découpage des matières de l’école institutionnelle. « La connaissance » est imprégnée par une certaine conception théologique et des techniques d’apprentissages s’appuyant sur l’oralité. D’une certaine manière, l’école coranique fonctionne comme un miroir dans lequel se reflète fidèlement une époque passée et qui poursuit son chemin parallèlement à des éléments de la modernité véhiculés par l’institutionnel.

description: Les standards de beauté ont toujours existé dans toute société depuis l’Antiquité jusqu’aux temps modernes. Ces derniers semblent toucher les femmes beaucoup plus que les hommes et sont souvent représentés comme imposés par le patriarcat, élargissant ainsi les inégalités sociales et raciales entre eux. Cet article étudie ces standards de beauté dans les sociétés occidentales modernes, montrant comment ils agrandissent aussi le fossé parmi les femmes elles-mêmes. La beauté des femmes, qui a fait l’objet de beaucoup d’études en sciences humaines et sociales, est beaucoup plus qu’une affaire de façade extérieure. Discuter de cette beauté nous pousse à réfléchir sur la place de la femme dans la société actuelle et sur comment ces standards créent des chaînes racistes et racialisées qui divisent les femmes de toutes couleurs et races. Le maquillage, immense paradoxe, est une facette importante de ces standards. L’auteure francophone canadienne Daphné B. nous plonge à travers son essai Maquillée, mêlant poésie et récit personnel, dans le monde des produits cosmétiques qu’elle relie au capitalisme, à la culture numérique, aux youtubeurs, au sexisme et au racisme. Le maquillage est aussi pour elle relié de façon intime à l’écriture et à l’expression de soi. Cet essai nous laisse entrevoir une grande vulnérabilité ainsi que beaucoup d’authenticité dans sa façon d’aborder un sujet moderne et actuel. La femme contemporaine a donc seule l’autorité en ce qui touche son apparence physique et travaille de plus en plus à forger ses propres critères de beauté tout en recherchant une identité féminine bien propre à elle.

description: Urinary Tract Infection (UTI) is the second most common healthcare associated infections (HCAI) in England. The HCAI prevalence survey data (2011) released by the Health Protection Agency (HPA) shows that UTIâ€™s are the second most common HCAI accounting for 17.2% of the total HCAIâ€™s in England. Escherichia coli, Klebsiella and Proteus are Gram negative bacteria frequently associated with UTI's. More HCAI's are related to the use of urinary catheters than any other medical device. An estimated 450,000 people in the UK use catheters on a long-term basis. Uropathogens are known to form biofilms on catheters causing recurrent infections. Biofilms are difficult to eradicate due to decreased antibiotic susceptibility and increased resistance. A recent study has found the presence of Acanthamoeba in urine of critically ill patients. The ubiquitous protozoan Acanthamoeba, is an opportunistic pathogen well recognised to serve as a reservoir for prokaryotes. Our recent findings (unpublished) confirm that the above mentioned bacteria can invade, survive and multiply within Acanthamoeba evading host defence and antibiotic action by forming cysts. It is our intention to investigate the presence of Acanthamoeba in urine samples collected from patients.

Why Authorship Cannot be Erased in Minority Literary Studies: Etxepare’s Authorship of "Linguae Vasconum Primitiae" (1545), as a Minorized Identity’s Literary Performance

description: Linguae Vasconum Primitiae (1545) is the first book ever published in Basque, written by Bernard Etxepare, a priest from the Northern Basque Country. This collection of poems explores religious and romantic themes, but more importantly, it serves as a defense of Basque, a minority language. This article examines Etxepare's poems, with a particular focus on the apologetic verses. The hypothesis posits that the authorship of this book is a performance (Taylor 2011), through which a sense of border identity (Anzaldúa 2015) is conveyed, marking the beginning of a new era of performance that asserts the value of Basque speakers. From this perspective, Barthes and Foucault's argument for erasing the author to achieve a neutral interpretation fails to recognize the text's socio-historical significance and the author's intentionality. Anonymity cannot coexist with ideology or intentionality, rendering these claims ineffective for a neutral interpretation. Furthermore, I argue that Etxepare initiated a socio-political movement, a metaperformative project that catalyzed the development of a literary tradition and the normalization of the Basque language. Erasing the author would thus mean erasing history, and disregarding the context would lead to a loss of understanding of the text's ideological and symbolic dimensions.

An estimated 450,000 people in the UK use catheters on a long-term basis. Uropathogens are known to form biofilms on catheters causing recurrent infections. Biofilms are difficult to eradicate due to decreased antibiotic susceptibility and increased resistance. A recent study has found the presence of Acanthamoeba in urine of critically ill patients. The ubiquitous protozoan Acanthamoeba, is an opportunistic pathogen well recognised to serve as a reservoir for prokaryotes. Our recent findings (unpublished) confirm that the above mentioned bacteria can invade, survive and multiply within Acanthamoeba evading host defence and antibiotic action by forming cysts. It is our intention to investigate the presence of Acanthamoeba in urine samples collected from patients.

description: This article examines the complex interplay of identity, memory, and assimilation within Franco-Vietnamese literature through the works of Doan Bui and Minh Tran Huy. It investigates how their narratives confront and challenge the prevailing perception of Vietnamese immigrants in France as the “ideal immigrant,” set against the historical backdrop of French colonialism and pressing contemporary societal issues. The focus is on the experiences of second-generation Vietnamese immigrants, illuminating the cultural erasure present in French educational and administrative frameworks, and the persistent quest for identity and recognition. Bui's Le Silence de mon père (2016) and Tran Huy's Voyageur malgré lui (2014) are pivotal texts in this examination. Bui’s narrative emphasizes the role of consumption, showing how culinary traditions serve as a means of reclaiming cultural roots and shaping personal identity. Furthermore, the article explores the role of religion in the assimilation process, exemplified by Doan’s early desire to participate in Christian rituals, juxtaposed with her later reclamation of Vietnamese culinary practices. This duality underscores the multifaceted nature of identity formation and the negotiation between different cultural influences. In contrast, Tran Huy’s story portrays the integration challenges and systemic discrimination that minorities face in France. Additionally, the article contextualizes these literary works within broader socio-political discussions, highlighting the connections between historical marginalization and contemporary experiences of invisibility and discrimination. It illustrates how literature can act as a vehicle for opening dialogue and solidarity among minority communities, pushing for a reimagined French national identity that embraces multiculturalism and addresses past injustices. Through this examination, the article contributes to the discourse on the evolving dynamics of identity in postcolonial France.

description: This paper delves into the publishing landscape specific to Beninese women writers and its interconnectedness with the broader tapestry of African and diasporic popular culture. A particular focus is cast on the works of a new generation of Beninese women authors, whose narratives illuminate societal and political realities through the lens of empowered feminine figures. These women are actively shaping a dynamic literary landscape, employing both traditional and digital platforms to foster a vibrant network of female writers, known as "fémicriture." This sorority extends beyond borders, creating a multi-dimensional space for the exchange of ideas and experiences. The literary contributions of Beninese women are not merely artistic expressions; they serve as potent tools for social and cultural transformation. By engaging in feminist storytelling and embracing the Francophone literary tradition, these writers are effectively addressing critical issues and inspiring their communities, especially the youth. Their work embodies a deep-rooted commitment to social responsibility and cultural enrichment.

description: Is there a universal consensus among scholars regarding what counts as ‘progress’ in scholarly quality assessment through academic publishing? While consensus among scholars seems unlikely given the diversity of contexts and disciplines in which scholarship takes place, the higher education institutions on which most scholars depend, increasingly agree upon neoliberal understandings of academic publishing as research output that commands global visibility. Such understandings of publishing privilege the quantification and ranking of individual products through metrics owned and commercialised by a transnational publishing industry, all for the sake of competitiveness or ‘excellence’. ‘Progress’, in this sense, becomes normalised everywhere despite the large body of research calling into question the social benefits of such a globalising imperative for scholarly work, not to mention the incompatibility of non-instrumental values traditionally attached to scholarship, especially in the humanities and the social sciences, with the accumulative drive of contemporary ‘knowledge production’.
Spectral theory in a twisted groupoid setting: Spectral decompositions, localization and Fredholmness

description: We study bounded operators defined in terms of the regular representations of the C*-algebra of an amenable, Hausdorff, second countable, locally compact groupoid endowed with a continuous 2-cocycle. We concentrate on spectral quantities associated to natural quotients of this twisted groupoid C*-algebra, such as the essential spectrum, the essential numerical range, and the Fredholm properties. We obtain decompositions for the images of the elements of this twisted groupoid C*-algebra under the regular representations associated to units of the groupoid belonging to a free locally closed orbit in terms of spectral quantities attached to points (or orbits) in the boundary of this main orbit. We illustrate our results by discussing various classes of magnetic pseudo-differential operators on nilpotent groups. We also prove localization and non-propagation properties associated to suitable parts of the essential spectrum. These results are applied to twisted groupoids having a totally intransitive groupoid restriction at the boundary.

description: The Wright reforms have been widely credited with reinvigorating select committees. Stephen Bates, Mark Goodwin (University of Birmingham) and Steve McKay (University of Lincoln) take issue with this assumption. They found the reforms have made little or no difference to MP turnover and attendance, which are driven by the parliamentary cycle. When MPs are jostling for payroll vote positions and trying to keep up with constituency duties and votes in the Chamber, select committees are likely to suffer.

description: Background: One-way endobronchial valve (EBV) treatment has shown safety and efficacy at 6 months after treatment in patients with severe emphysema and confirmed absence of interlobar collateral ventilation. Longer follow-up in this subgroup is not available. Objectives: To investigate the efficacy and safety of EBV treatment of the STELVIO cohort at a 1-year follow-up. Methods: Emphysema patients who have been treated with EBV in the STELVIO trial were invited for a voluntary 1-year follow-up visit. Both the original treatment group and the control group who crossed over to treatment have been included. Analyses are performed on the patients who attended the 1-year follow-up visit. Results: Sixty-four patients received EBV treatment. At 1 year, 40 patients (26 female; mean age 59 ± 8 years; FEV1 0.86 ± 0.29 L; RV 4.56 ± 1.00 L; 6MWD 367 ± 78 m; and SGRQ 56 ± 13 points) visited the hospital. Significant improvements (p < 0.001) were found for FEV1 (+17%, 95% CI, 11 to 24), RV (-687 mL, 95% CI, -918 to -456), 6MWD (+61 m, 95% CI, 42 to 80), and SGRQ (-11 points, 95% CI, −17 to −6). Two patients died: 1 after 58 days due to progressive respiratory failure and 1 after 338 days of follow-up due to a myocardial infarction. Seventeen percent of the patients underwent valve replacement and 22% of the initially treated patients had permanent valve removal. In 22% of the patients, pneumothoraces occurred before 6 months, and none occurred between 6 and 12 months. Conclusions: EBV treatment results in clinically relevant benefits at 1 year of follow-up. Maintenance bronchoscopies to achieve this are needed. This study supports the use of EBV treatment in carefully selected patients with severe emphysema without collateral ventilation.

This species was briefly described based on one female specimen from Osmoderma coriarius and known only from type locality (Donetsk Region). Depository of the type specimen is unknown, microslide with the mite has not been ever deposited (as was indicated in the original description) to the Schmalhausen Institute of Zoology, NAS of Ukraine, Kyiv, Ukraine (Leonid O. Kolodochka pers. comm.). This nominal species is similar to Hypoaspis breiti Arutunjan, 1990, also briefly described based on one female from Osmoderma eremita (Scopoli, 1763) from Austria and possibly is its junior synonym (Arutunjan, 1990). We have examined two specimens of Osmoderma coriarius from Odesa Region, but no mites were found. Ukrainian species of the genus Hypoaspis differs from species of the genus Coleolaelaps of Ukraine by the absence lateral incisions on the dorsal shield.

description: Here we analyze two state – of – the - art passive radiative cooling coatings. Radiative cooling materials emit radiation that goes directly to outer space through the atmospheric window while the percentage of radiation that they absorb is as low as possible. The atmospheric window is the window of 8 – 13 μm, where the infrared radiation passes immediately to outer space without any significant absorption by the Earth’s atmosphere. Thus, it manages to acquire sub – ambient surface temperature which can contribute to improving the thermal comfort conditions in the buildings, the energy conservation, the mitigation of the urban heat island effect while it can also be used for low – grade heat dissipation from power stations
Based on the most recent research papers, we fabricate two radiative materials and we study their performances.
