description: This dissertation describes the recent advancements in micromechanical testing that inform how deformation mechanisms in austenitic stainless steels (SS) are affected by the presence of irradiation-induced defects. Austenitic SS is one of the most widely utilized structural alloys in nuclear energy systems, but the role of irradiation on its underlying mechanisms of mechanical deformation remains poorly understood. Now, recent advancement of microscale mechanical testing in a scanning electron microscope (SEM), coupled with site-specific transmission electron microscopy (TEM), enables us to precisely determine deformation mechanisms as a function of plastic strain and grain orientation. We focus on AISI 304L SSs irradiated in EBR-II to ~1-28 displacements per atom (dpa) at ~415 °C and contains ~0.2-8 atomic parts per million (appm) He amounting to ~0.2-2.8% swelling. A portion of the specimen is laser welded in a hot cell; the laser weld heat affected zone (HAZ) is studied and considered to have undergone post-irradiation annealing (PIA). An archival, virgin specimen is also studied as a control. We conduct nanoindentation, then prepare TEM lamellae from the indent plastic zone. In the 3 appm He condition, TEM investigation reveals nucleation of deformation-induced α’ martensite in the irradiated specimen, and metastable ε martensite in the PIA specimen. Meanwhile, the unirradiated control specimen exhibits evidence only of dislocation slip and twinning; this is unsurprising given that alternative deformation mechanisms such as twinning and martensitic transformation are typically observed only near cryogenic temperatures in austenitic SS. Surface area of irradiation-produced cavities contribute enough free energy to accommodate the martensitic transformation. The lower population of cavities in the PIA material enables metastable ε martensite formation, while the higher cavity number density in the irradiated material causes direct α’ martensite formation. In the 0.2 appm He condition, SEM-based micropillar compression tests confirm nanoindentation results. A deformation transition map with corresponding criteria has been proposed for tailoring the plasticity of irradiated steels. Irradiation damage could enable fundamental, mechanistic studies of deformation mechanisms that are typically only accessible at extremely low temperatures.

description: The buildup of senescent cells exacerbates metabolic disorders in adipose tissue and contributes to aging-related cardiac dysfunction. Targeted clearance of senescent cells can markedly ameliorate these aging-related diseases. Here, we developed a novel nanovaccine (GK-NaV) loaded with seno-antigen that is self-assembled from the fusion of cationic protein (K36) and seno-antigen peptide (Gpnmb). The GK-NaV could be highly engulfed by bone marrow-derived dendritic cells (BMDCs) and efficiently present antigens on the cellular surface, thereby promoting DCs maturation and activation of CD8+T cells in vitro. Following subcutaneous immunization, GK-NaV not only exhibited a noticeable antigen depot effect but also markedly activated specific cellular immune responses, enhancing the immunoreactivity and cytotoxic effects of CD8+T cells. Consequently, the targeted anti-aging immunity triggered by GK-NaV demonstrated the ability to selectively eliminate senescent adipocytes and cardiomyocytes in high-fat diet (HFD)-induced progeroid mice, leading to a significant improvement in age-related metabolic disorders in adipose tissue and cardiac dysfunction. Hence, our findings indicate that immunization with GK-NaV targeting seno-antigens may represent a promising strategy for novel senolytic therapies.
Songs of Nostalgia: Creative Activism and Exile in Elia Suleiman’s "It Must be Heaven" and Panah Panahi’s "Hit the Road"
Creators: name: Nashef, Hania
Publisher: name: Humanities Commons

Subjects: subject: Feature films
subject: Suleiman, Elia

description: Abstract | The final scene of Elia Suleiman’s film, It Must be Heaven (2019), ends with the actor/director sitting in an Arab bar in the city of Haifa, while the young crowd is dancing to “Arabyon Ana” (2000) by Lebanese singer Yuri Mrakadi. The Arabic music is a testimony to a Palestinian-Arab culture that resists erasure.  The songs in Suleiman’s film not only form part of the soundtrack and provide a commentary on the unfolding scenes but also deliver a chronology of events that firmly places the country within its Arab milieu. Mirroring the thoughts of the main character, they highlight issues of exile and dispossession. Likewise, Panah Panahi’s Hit the Road (2021) relies on songs to explore issues relating to internal and external exile. Through a close reading of both films, I maintain that the soundtracks are utilized as a creative form of activism to help address matters concerning home and displacement.

description: Leishmania spp., protozoan parasites with a digenetic life cycle, cause a spectrum of diseases in humans. Recently several Leishmania spp. have been sequenced which significantly boosted the number and quality of proteomic studies conducted. Here a historic review will summarize work of the pre-genomic era and then focus on studies after genome information became available. Firstly works comparing the different life cycle stages, in order to identify stage specific proteins, will be discussed. Identifying post-translational modifications by proteomics especially phosphorylation events will be discussed. Further the contribution of proteomics to the understanding of the molecular mechanism of drug resistance and the investigation of immunogenic proteins for the identification of vaccine candidates will be summarized. Approaches of how potentially secreted proteins were identified are discussed. So far 30–35% of the total predicted proteome of Leishmania spp. have been identified. This comprises mainly the abundant proteins, therefore the last section will look into technological approaches on how this coverage may be increased and what the gel-free and gel-based proteomics have to offer will be compared.

description: Anthropomorphism, which combines two Greek words, anthropos and morphe, meaning "human" and "form' respectively, is a term that reflects our attribution of human characteristics to non-human animals and objects, bestowing upon them agency (Taylor 2011: 266). In this respect, we elevate the status of the non-human animal, moving it from being an object to being a subject. In addition, exercises in anthropomorphism often lead to a hybridity that results in the "mixing of human and animal traits where animals are often endowed with characteristics assumed to be human specific, such as emotion and free will" (Taylor 2011: 270). Furthermore, our normal understanding of hierarchy within our social life is that the designation of subject can only be awarded to human beings, as "only humans have agency," as "other non-human entities are [considered] passive recipients" of a power that can only be exerted by humans (Taylor 2011: 274, 275). In addition, denied the logos, animals are often defined as creatures without compassion or reason. In this chapter, I discuss a number of dogs in novels by J.M. Coetzee, José Saramago and Adania Shibli that illustrate how these particular animals are not only subjects with agency but also protagonists in their own right. The dogs in Blindness, Disgrace and Minor Detail exhibit a form of humanism that is markedly missing in some of the human subjects in the novels. Moreover, they exhibit free will and emotions that are often associated with the human being, and denied to animals.Claire Parkinson writes: "The term anthropomorphism is derived from the Greek anthrōpos (human) and morphē (form). Until the latter half of the nineteenth century, it referred to the practices of attributing deities with human like characteristics or bodily form. By the first decades of the twentieth century, anthropomorphism had come to be regarded, in a pejorative sense, as the attribution of uniquely human characteristics to other animals" (2020: 2).

description: Mycobacterium tuberculosis is a major human pathogen that has evolved survival mechanisms to persist in an immune-competent host under a dormant condition. The regulation of M. tuberculosis metabolism during latent infection is not clearly known. The dormancy survival regulon (DosR regulon) is chiefly responsible for encoding dormancy related functions of M. tuberculosis. We describe functional characterization of an important gene of DosR regulon, Rv0079, which appears to be involved in the regulation of translation through the interaction of its product with bacterial ribosomal subunits. The protein encoded by Rv0079, possibly, has an inhibitory role with respect to protein synthesis, as revealed by our experiments. We performed computational modelling and docking simulation studies involving the protein encoded by Rv0079 followed by in vitro translation and growth curve analysis experiments, involving recombinant E. coli and Bacille Calmette Guérin (BCG) strains that overexpressed Rv0079. Our observations concerning the interaction of the protein with the ribosomes are supportive of its role in regulation/inhibition of translation. We propose that the protein encoded by locus Rv0079 is a ‘dormancy associated translation inhibitor’ or DATIN.
Everyone Wants an "A": The Role of Academic Expectations in Academic Performance
Creators: name: Fortney, Sarah Katherine
Publisher: name: Purdue University Graduate School
Year: 2019
Subjects: Clinical psychology

description: Expectations are a key aspect of human success and behavior that predict outcomes in a variety of settings, including academics. Trait expectations (e.g., hope and optimism) and previous experiences appear relevant to the formation of specific expectations. Specific expectations predict outcomes, with positive expectations predicting better outcomes. In academics, positive specific expectations predict improved academic performance; however, there are aspects of this relationship that are unclear. This study sought to examine the formation of specific academic expectations and the relationship between these expectations and academic performance. The current study aimed to replicate previous research about the unique influences of academic expectations, expand this knowledge by examining possible mechanisms of the relationship between academic expectations and academic performance, and test how previous academic experience affected this relationship. Results of this study showed that previous GPA and optimism, but not hope, predicted academic expectations. Academic expectations predicted academic performance, but this relationship was not mediated by study time or stress. Finally, previous GPA moderated the relationship between academic expectations and academic performance, such that the positive association between academic expectations and academic performance was stronger for those with poorer prior performance.

description: Immunoglobulin A nephropathy (IgAN) stands as the most prevalent primary glomerulonephritis globally, almost half of patients progress to end-stage kidney disease (ESKD). However, the precise pathogenesis of IgAN remains elusive. Long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs), non-protein-coding transcripts that regulate gene expression, have been found to exhibit distinct expression patterns in various disease states. Comprehensive bioinformatic analyses from IgAN patients have uncovered differential expression of lncRNAs such as HOTAIR, H19, and MALAT1. Furthermore, a single nucleotide polymorphism in MIR31HG has been linked to IgAN susceptibility and correlated with clinical markers like urinary red blood cells and hemoglobin levels. Lnc-TSI and lnc-CHAF1B-3, specifically expressed in the kidneys of IgAN patients, exhibit associations with renal fibrosis indices and the degree of kidney function deterioration, influencing the progression of renal fibrosis through distinct signaling pathways. Additionally, renal intercellular adhesion molecule 1 (ICAM-1) related long noncoding RNA (ICR) levels positively correlate with IgAN severity and contribute to renal fibrosis, whereas serum H19 serves as an independent protective factor against IgAN. Notably, experiments have validated the involvement of PTTG3P, lnc-CHAF1B-3, and CRNDE in the pathogenesis of IgAN. Nevertheless, data on the roles of lncRNAs in IgAN pathogenesis and their potential as biomarkers remain limited, and effective therapeutic options for IgAN are similarly rare. Therefore, there is an urgent need to bridge this knowledge gap. This article presents a review of current literature on lncRNAs related to IgAN, aiming to consolidate existing findings and identify future research avenues.
Inter-imperial Dimensions of Turkish Literary Modernity

description: Calling for a historiographical shift in literary criticism, this essay stresses the expansionist vision of the nineteenth-century Ottoman Empire, approaches its literature as a corpus of representation for imperial subjectivities, and thereby supplements the critique of the narrative of literary modernity identified with the orientalist E. J. W. Gibb. This essay argues that the tension between imperial expansionism and national indigenization constitutes a shaping force in Turkish literary modernity, urging scholars to investigate how the epistemology of the empire–influenced by the inter-imperial landscape of the nineteenth century–infiltrates the modern national literature and politics of Turkey.

description: La présente recherche se penche sur l'évolution du secteur de la microfinance au Maroc. Initialement conçu comme un instrument d'inclusion financière pour les populations rurales, et plus particulièrement pour les femmes, ce secteur connaît une transformation significative, marquée par une priorité croissante accordée aux aspects commerciaux et à la rentabilité financière. À travers une méthodologie qualitative, combinant entretiens et observations de terrain, cet article met en exergue la manière dont cette réorientation, vécue comme une exclusion par de nombreux acteurs, met en péril la mission sociale originelle de la microfinance. Cette évolution soulève des questions cruciales quant au développement rural durable et à la réalisation des Objectifs de Développement Durable (ODD) au Maroc. L'analyse explore les multiples facteurs qui sous-tendent cette tendance, en accordant une attention particulière au risque climatique. Des pistes de solutions sont proposées, visant à promouvoir un développement rural plus inclusif et résilient. Ces propositions s'inspirent, entre autres, des approches de la microfinance verte, et mettent en avant le rôle potentiel des Associations de Microcrédit (AMC) en tant qu'agents de changement.

description: Inclusiveness in higher education is distinct from advocacy journalism, which means we have to work actively against any ineffectual default to rituals of inclusion. When implemented unilaterally as a one-size-fits-all social imposition, some gestures of inclusion risk becoming empty rituals. As multifocal, multilingual, and multicultural viewpoints, global perspectives can enhance inclusiveness in academia. This chapter demonstrates the application of strategies for global inclusiveness to Shakespeare studies in the classroom and suggests that through radical listening—a set of communication methods that attend to motivations rather than superficial "plots"—students can acquire new skills to analyze complex cultural texts and thereby gain empathy beyond their academic work. Global perspectives can help us tackle the pervasive Whiteness and cisgender sexism of Shakespeare studies by deconstructing the binary logic of a Black-White or male-female order (which inadvertently naturalizes the two as monolithic concepts). Education is only reparative when it is designed from the ground up to be truly inclusive rather than being a mindless replica of evolving political correctness. Independent facility with complex cultural texts enables everyone to pierce the dense, euphemistic cloud of diversity categories that tokenize individuals and fictional characters based on any given identity marker.

description: Nine carbapenem-resistant Enterobacteriaceae isolates collected from eight patients in five German hospitals were investigated. Six isolates produced the OXA-48 carbapenemase, and three isolates produced OXA-162, which is a point mutant form of OXA-48. Both carbapenemase genes were located on IncL/M-type conjugative plasmids. Insertion sequence IS1999 (truncated or not by IS1R) was located upstream of the bla(OXA-48) and bla(OXA-162) genes in all of the isolates. Pulsed-field gel electrophoresis typing indicated the clonal transmission of an OXA-48-producing Klebsiella pneumoniae strain in two hospitals.

description: Registered in Romantic depictions of imperial ruins is the endurance of empire in its immateriality: the imageries of empire’s ruination announce a future where imperial sovereignty maintains its presence spectrally. Using Jacques Derrida’s notion of hauntology, and recruiting further insight from political theory, this essay argues that empire manifests in Romantic vision as an ontological dynamic, that is, an obscured yet efficacious force that impinges on the subject’s relationship with the world. My discussion traces this abstraction of power in the works of Felicia Hemans, Lord Byron, Mary Shelley, Anna Laetitia Barbauld, and Robert Southey, clustered together through their mutual influence and shared source, Edward Gibbon’s The History of the Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire. In the light of these authors’ reflections on the ruins of empire, this article focuses on the ontological dimension of imperial sovereignty to extend the critique of imperialism in Romantic studies beyond its familiar historical-material terrain, toward sites where empire prevails even after its presumed disintegration as an official, political entity.

description: Although the development of an effective vaccine is the main goal in the fight against AIDS, all attempts by numerous laboratories to develop a vaccine have failed so far. In addition, it is still unclear whether cytotoxic T cells or neutralizing antibodies or both should be induced. The major advantage of neutralizing antibodies is their ability to prevent infection and subsequent integration of the provirus into the cellular genome where it may persist in a form invisible to the immune system. Broadly neutralizing antibodies have been found in HIV infected individuals, including antibodies directed against a highly conserved region in the membrane proximal external region (MPER) of the transmembrane envelope (TM) protein gp41 of HIV-1. We successfully induced neutralizing antibodies against different gammaretroviruses by immunization with their respective TM proteins. These antibodies recognized epitopes not only in the MPER but also in the fusion peptide proximal region of the TM protein. In the case of feline leukaemia virus (FeLV), these antibodies protected cats from antigenemia following challenge. To understand the mechanism of neutralization, the interactions between neutralizing antibodies and their corresponding epitopes in the TM protein of gammaretroviruses and HIV-1 were analysed. These data may help to design antigens able to induce specific broadly neutralizing antibodies.

description: For hemodialysis patients at high risk of bleeding, a regional anticoagulant can be used, such as citrate or nafamostat mesylate (NM). The objective of this study was to evaluate NM as an alternative to citrate for anticoagulation in hemodialysis patients at high risk of bleeding. This retrospective single-center study included consecutive patients in our dialysis center treated with either citrate or NM anticoagulation for hemodialysis from January 2022 to December 2023.The primary outcome was major clotting, defined as premature dialysis due to extracorporeal circuit clotting. The secondary outcome was the incidence of a major bleeding episode during or after hemodialysis. In total, 651hemodialysis sessions were performed in 196 patients and were compared (289 citrate and 362 NM anticoagulation). A lower number of premature dialysis due to clotting occurred in the NM sessions compared to citrate sessions (0.84% vs.5.19%, p = 0.001). NM was associated with a lower risk of major clotting compared with citrate during treatment (OR:0.063; CI: 0.008-0.475; p = 0.007). Regarding second outcome, no more major bleeding events related to NM occurred compared to citrate. Among hemodialysis patients with high risk of bleeding, anticoagulation with NM, compared with citrate anticoagulation, provided relatively better efficacy, with no bleeding increment. NM is a valid alternative to citrate for hemodialysis patients at high risk of bleeding.

description: Background: Chlamydia trachomatis prevalence among 12–17-year-old adolescents in Germany was determined in the present study. Methods: A random age-stratified sample of 1815 urine specimens of boys and girls was selected from a population-based nationwide health survey conducted in 2003–06. Urine samples were pooled and tested for chlamydia using strand displacement amplification. Positive pools were individually retested. Prevalence, prevalence ratios (PR) and corresponding 95% confidence intervals (CI) were calculated. Associations between infection and socio-demographic factors (age, sex, place of residence), sexual activity (defined by oral contraceptive use or gynaecologist visits) and abdominal pain among females were examined in univariate analysis. Results: Sixteen samples (0.9% 95% CI: 0.5–1.3%), all from 15–17-year olds, were positive for chlamydia. Prevalence increased with age to 2% (95% CI: 0.8–3.2%) among 17 year olds and was higher among girls than boys (1.8% v. 0.1%; P < 0.001). A total of 4.6% (95% CI: 1.4–7.7%) of sexually active girls aged 17 were infected and 5/7 of them had no regular abdominal pain. Of all girls with abdominal pains, 52% had visited gynaecologists. Prevalence of infection was higher among those with pains than those without (PR = 3.8, 95% CI: 1.3–11.0). Conclusions: This is the first nationwide study based on a representative sample of boys and girls to measure chlamydia prevalence among adolescents in Germany. Prevalence in Germany is consistent with other countries. Among sexually active females, prevalence was comparable to screening thresholds. As gynaecological visits were common among females, we recommend that gynaecologists should actively offer screening to sexually active females, which would strengthen the newly implemented screening for females under 25 years.

description: Degradation behavior of commercial lithium-ion pouch cells containing LiCoO2 cathode and graphite anode was investigated for a cycling under continuous overcharge condition. This condition is frequently experienced in electric vehicles in an event of Battery Management System (BMS) failure. Failure of BMS results in an unbalanced module further resulting in overcharging or overdischarging the cells. Commercial cells with 5Ah capacity were continuously cycled at different upper cutoff voltages and 1C-rate to develop a better understanding of the overcharge process. The results show that as the upper cutoff voltage is extended, the cell gains a higher initial capacity. However, the cycle life of the cell diminishes significantly. The extent of overcharge was found to be an important parameter not only for the electrochemical performance but also for cell integrity. Cells overcharged beyond 4.5 V had a significant volume increase and a rapid increase in the capacity fade. The cell starts to swell at this stage and a considerable increase in the temperature and internal resistance of the cells is observed. Thermal imaging of the cell revealed non-uniform temperature distribution and localized degradation sites were identified. Evidence of lithium plating and electrolyte deposits on anode was observed in cells charged beyond 4.4 V, with SEM-EDS verifying their presence. A comparative study of various State of Health (SoH) estimation parameters is presented and the proposed parameter ΦR based on internal resistance measurement is found to be a good indicator of aggravated degradation in cells.
Loving Sovereignty: Political Mysticism, Seyh Galib, and Giorgio Agamben

description: Centering on the poetry of Şeyh Galib (1757–1799), this article considers Ottoman imperial sovereignty in tandem with the discourse of mysticism that underpinned it. A key rhetorical device that enables the abstraction of the politics of empire in this discourse is the metaphor of the beloved sovereign. In the mystical writing of Galib, this metaphor gives a spiritual edge to the authority of the sultan and expands the reach of his power beyond its physical limits. The metaphor of the beloved sovereign neutralizes sovereignty as it turns submission into an act of love, a voluntary abandonment of political agency. To elucidate this obscured dimension of power in Galib’s mysticism, I draw on Giorgio Agamben’s notion of “potentiality.” Proposing that one must pay heed to potentiality in order to dig into “the ontological root of every political power,” Agamben considers “love” the proper medium of a potential resistance to sovereignty. Galib’s poetry, on the other hand, illuminates that which is not addressed in this analogy: love can occasion a commitment to sovereignty that forces itself upon the subject as an “ontological” condition, in the way Agamben terms it. I suggest that the metaphor of the beloved sovereign in Galib’s poetry cautions against the sovereign’s own “potential” to claim vulnerability and exploit love to consolidate its power.

description: When we began collaborating, our goal was to integrate core principles of the ACRL Framework with key literary research strategies. Dr. Mauer taught Lit3212: Research and Writing about Literature in the spring of 2023. Our research skills textbook, Strategies for Conducting Literary Research, was designed for the course and we offer the textbook as an OER to instructors throughout the humanities at UCF, where it is being used in many courses. The textbook and the specific course, LIT 3212, are built around the ACRL’s Information Literacy framework, with openness and adaptability being two more of our primary goals. We built the course around Scholarship and Conversation, Research as Inquiry, Searching as Strategic Exploration, and Authority is Constructed and Contextual. Each of those ideas has its own module within the course as well as a companion video featuring a student researcher, Jada Reyes, who studied James Baldwin’s short story, “Sonny’s Blues” through the lens of Critical Race Theory. In the videos, Jada discusses how each aspect of the Framework informed her research.

description: Background: Stearoyl-CoA desaturase-1 (SCD1) is an enzyme involved in lipid metabolism. In mice and humans its activity has been associated with traits of the metabolic syndrome, but also with the prevention of saturated fatty acids accumulation and subsequent inflammation, whereas for liver fat content inconsistent results have been reported. Thus, variants of the gene encoding SCD1 (SCD1) could potentially modify metabolic risk factors, but few human studies have addressed this question. Methods: In a sample of 2157 middle-aged men and women randomly drawn from the Potsdam cohort of the European Prospective Investigation into Cancer and Nutrition, we investigated the impact of 7 SCD1 tagging-single nucleotide polymorphisms (rs1502593, rs522951, rs11190480, rs3071, rs3793767, rs10883463 and rs508384) and 5 inferred haplotypes with frequency >5% describing 90.9% of the genotype combinations in our population, on triglycerides, body mass index (BMI), waist circumference (WC), glycated haemoglobin (HbA1c), high-sensitivity C-reactive protein (hs-CRP), gamma-glutamyltransferase (GGT), alanine aminotransferase (ALT) and fetuin-A. Results: No significant associations between any of the SNPs or haplotypes and BMI, WC, fetuin-A and hs-CRP were observed. Associations of rs10883463 with triglycerides, GGT and HbA1c as well as of rs11190480 with ALT activity, were weak and became non-significant after multiple-testing correction. Also associations of the haplotype harbouring the minor allele of rs1502593 with HbA1c levels, the haplotype harbouring the minor alleles of rs11190480 and rs508384 with activity of ALT, and the haplotype harbouring the minor alleles of rs522951, rs10883463 and rs508384 with triglyceride and HbA1C levels and GGT activities did not withstand multiple-testing correction. Conclusion: These findings suggest that there are no associations between common variants of SCD1 or its inferred haplotypes and the investigated metabolic risk factors. However, given the results from animal models, heterogeneity of human SCD1 warrants further investigation, in particular with regard to rare variants.
