description: The whitening and opacifying properties of titanium dioxide (TiO2) are commonly exploited when it is used as a food additive (E171). However, the safety of this additive can be questioned as TiO2 nanoparticles (TiO2-NPs) have been classed at potentially toxic. This study aimed to shed some light on the mechanisms behind the potential toxicity of E171 on epithelial intestinal cells, using two in vitro models: (i) a monoculture of differentiated Caco-2 cells and (ii) a coculture of Caco-2 with HT29-MTX mucus-secreting cells. Cells were exposed to E171 and two different types of TiO2-NPs, either acutely (6–48 h) or repeatedly (three times a week for 3 weeks). Our results confirm that E171 damaged these cells, and that the main mechanism of toxicity was oxidation effects. Responses of the two models to E171 were similar, with a moderate, but significant, accumulation of reactive oxygen species, and concomitant downregulation of the expression of the antioxidant enzymes catalase, superoxide dismutase and glutathione reductase. Oxidative damage to DNA was detected in exposed cells, proving that E171 effectively induces oxidative stress; however, no endoplasmic reticulum stress was detected. E171 effects were less intense after acute exposure compared to repeated exposure, which correlated with higher Ti accumulation. The effects were also more intense in cells exposed to E171 than in cells exposed to TiO2-NPs. Taken together, these data show that E171 induces only moderate toxicity in epithelial intestinal cells, via oxidation.
title: The Rock and The Map: two tales of contemporary heritage landscaping in Scotland
Creators: name: Hutchinson, John Alexander
Publisher: name: University of Glasgow
Year: 2020
Subjects: subject: Scotland, heritage, landscape, heritage landscaping, Dumbarton Rock, Great Polish Map of Scotland.

description: As opposed to the ingrained and popularly rehearsed notion that Scotland’s quintessential landscapes are mountainous, remote, rugged and wild, this thesis considers the local landmarks of Dumbarton Rock and the Great Polish Map of Scotland as exemplary of a “New Scottish Landscape”. That is, a new aesthetic, or ‘way of seeing’ the Scottish landscape as one defined by ‘everyday’ local landscapes of affiliation, as much as the ‘special’ and spectacular. Such a belief is given added traction with the demographic fact that the majority of Scotland's population inhabits the densely urbanised Central Belt, in which landscape qualities of 'wildness' and 'remoteness' are generally lacking. Despite this ‘grandeur deficit’, there is increasing recognition that exurban, post-industrial, partially degraded or abandoned landscapes have the capacity to generate intensities of belonging and attachment, reflecting new, distinctive heritage values. Aligned with ‘processual’ conceptual understandings of landscape and heritage as situated, subjective phenomena, ‘the Rock’ and ‘the Map’ are approached in this thesis as instances of “heritage landscaping”, whereby landscape and heritage are figured as conjoined; emerging and unfolding together in practice and experience. Informing a phenomenological methodological design around fieldwork principles of observation, sensation, practice and performance, a range of research materials are gathered to tell the stories of the Rock and the Map. Recounted in two central empirical chapters, the Rock and the Map are explored respectively through the provision of a historical-cultural biography, lending context and time-depth to my own situated experiences through participative intervention. As contrasting but related instances of community-driven heritage landscaping, the Rock and the Map are then considered together to critically engage with recent conceptual developments in landscape and heritage practice towards ‘democratisation’. That is, a loosening of traditionally top-down professional landscape and heritage decision-making, to better account for the often intangible ‘social values’ held by ‘unofficial’ local communities of interest. Drawing upon my situated inquiries of the Rock and the Map, I contend that landscape phenomenology and a ‘performative ethos’ provide a creative and effective means of apprehending and accounting for these alternative narratives, allowing us to uncover and illuminate the latent potential and cultural value held within the New Scottish Landscape.

description: Una guía de museos sirve de umbral al proyecto de Stuart Davis. La trayectoria del lector parece coincidir con la del turista. Desde los pasillos del Museo Lázaro Galdiano en Madrid hasta las espectaculares salas del Guggenheim Bilbao, las páginas de Writing and Heritage nos conducen en visitas guiadas por el Museo de la Biblioteca Nacional, el Museo Casa Natal de Cervantes en Alcalá o el Prado. Entre visita y visita se desliza otro bagaje cultural, el literario. Juan Goytisolo, Jorge Luis Borges, Cristina Peri Rossi, las nuevas estrellas de la Generación X o los escritores de la memoria son los estratégicos puntos de referencia en un mapa que sintetiza buena parte de las tendencias críticas de las últimas décadas, desde la intertextualidad de ráız postestructuralista hasta el boom de los estudios de la memoria, pasando por la problematización del canon desde el feminismo y la teoría queer o la progresiva neutralización de las diferencias entre ‘‘alta’’ y ‘‘baja’’ literatura. Si el trabajo de Davis parte de la provocativa y muy actual yuxtaposición entre los estudios literarios y el interés y la producción crecientes sobre la museología y su crisis en los últimos años, parece al mismo tiempo mimetizarse con su objeto de estudio y participar de la misma lógica tradicional del museo que desenmascara y critica.

description: In the Republic of Moldova have been launched several projects to support open access and upgrade information services, in order to improve the quality of academic studies which also focus on open and free access to scientific information. Open Access initiatives are being implemented in the Republic of Moldova by Gold OA and Green OA. Currently, 40 national scholarly journals have approved open access policies. At the same time, 30 journals registered in DOAJ with open access. Also in the Republic of Moldova, there are 14 open access repositories. The institutional policies of open access from the Republic of Moldova encourage researchers, grant holders, teaching staff to publish their works in accordance with the principles of the open access paradigm, financed from public money and funds to ensure the long-term preservation of digital scientific works and provide the widest possible access to the scientific works of the academic community. In order to learn out about attitude of academia to open access to research outputs, Information Society Development Institute conducted two surveys: in January-February 2016 and May-July 2018. Both surveys highlighted the need to improve the circulation of knowledge and access to publication and research data.

description: It is often said that understanding humor in a language is the highest sign of fluency. Comprehending de dicto jokes, specifically, demonstrates our tacit knowledge of and competence in that language. In Aarons’s Jokes and the Linguistic Mind, multitudinous examples of humor are examined in regard to the wide range of linguistic concepts they address. The text is based on Chomsky’s (1965) definition of competence as our implicit knowledge of the rules of language; it aims to show that when, for example, a joke about the ambiguity of a certain article is funny, it is precisely because it brings a rule governing article use to our consciousness. Aarons’ detailed analyses of jokes play on semantic, phonologic, pragmatic, and syntactic rules, and are therefore of interest to the linguist. At the same time, her analyses are of equal importance to the language teacher, considering that many of these rules and explanations are of pedagogical use.

description: Language Assessment in Practice by Lyle Bachman and Adrian Palmer is a defining text within the field of language assessment. With an expected readership of students, language teachers with varying experience, applied linguists, professional language testers, materials developers and textbook writers, Language Assessment in Practice is ambitious at its core. Nonetheless, the authors‘ logical approach and straightforward writing style make this a highly accessible text for all members of its intended audience. In an inviting first chapter titled ―Objectives and Explanations, or why we need another book about language testing,‖ Bachman and Palmer explain their reasons for taking on this project, especially in light of their earlier, formative work Language Testing in Practice (Bachman & Palmer, 1996). Using Bachman‘s articulation of the Assessment Use Argument (AUA) as its organizing theoretical framework, Language Assessment in Practice represents a distinct departure from the earlier text. At nearly twice the number of pages of text (excluding the projects in the final chapters of both books), and incorporating extensive resources available online, this volume represents a significant evolution in the authors‘ thinking about assessment.
A characteristic function-based approach to approximate maximum likelihood estimation

description: The choice of the summary statistics in approximate maximum likelihood is often a crucial issue. We develop a criterion for choosing the most effective summary statistic and then focus on the empirical characteristic function. In the iid setting, the approximating posterior distribution converges to the approximate distribution of the parameters conditional upon the empirical characteristic function. Simulation experiments suggest that the method is often preferable to numerical maximum likelihood. In a time-series framework, no optimality result can be proved, but the simulations indicate that the method is effective in small samples.

description: The interaction approach, fueled by interaction-based research in second language acquisition (SLA), has come a long way since it was first proposed during the late 1970s and early 1980s. Researchers have advanced from verifying the positive effects of interaction on second language learning (e.g., Ellis et al. 1994; Long, 1980, 1983; Mackey & Goo, 2007; Swain, 1985) to investigating the internal characteristics of interaction by uncovering the multiple dimensions that are involved in more detail (Long, 1996) and updating constructs and coding systems (Kowal & Swain, 1994). The depth and breadth of information that interaction-based research has generated, as portrayed throughout this book, has helped both researchers and language instructors further understand the conditions under which interaction may benefit instructed SLA. One of the variables that can be manipulated and observed in such interactional settings is feedback, which is emphasized throughout the book as the author’s main research focus.

description: Graphics play a crucial role in statistical analysis and data mining. Being able to quantify structure in data that is visible in plots, and how people read the structure from plots is an ongoing challenge. The lineup protocol provides a formal framework for data plots, making inference possible. The data plot is treated like a test statistic, and lineup protocol acts like a comparison with the sampling distribution of the nulls. This article describes metrics for describing structure in data plots and evaluates them in relation to the choices that human readers made during several large Amazon Turk studies using lineups. The metrics that were more specific to the plot types tended to better match subject choices, than generic metrics. The process that we followed to evaluate metrics will be useful for general development of numerically measuring structure in plots, and also in future experiments on lineups for choosing blocks of pictures. Supplementary materials for this article are available online.
title: An exploratory study into ‘Mature Educational Understanding’: Zehou Li and an aesthetics-education approach
Creators: name: Wei, Liuying
Publisher: name: University of Glasgow
Year: 2020
Subjects: subject: Zehou Li philosophy, aesthetics, educational maturity, philosophy of education, comparative and analytical approach.

description: This study applies Zehou Li philosophy to examine significant educational questions and challenges, following the disciplinary tradition located in the Anglophone Foundational Paradigm of Educational Studies. Li’s aestheticised philosophy comes to fruition at the influence of East and West, in particular the critical and comparative encounter between Confucianism, Marxism, and Kantian philosophy. I argue that the combination of Li’s aesthetics and educational theories, with the exchanges and overlaps between Western and Chinese aesthetics, between ancient and modern Chinese culture, Western and Chinese Philosophy of Education, offers an important heuristic which enhances our understanding of some of the most pressing cultural and educational challenges for educational philosophy, and indeed contemporary educational practice both locally and globally. Amongst the areas reconsidered and woven together through the adoption of this refreshed lens are the ideologies of measurement, liberal ideal of educated persons, aesthetic education, parental education, practice and policy in teacher education.

description: Over the past few decades, Second Language Acquisition (SLA) research has shown a growing interest in linguistic relativity, specifically in Slobin’s (1987, 1996) thinking-for-speaking hypothesis. The thinking-for-speaking hypothesis posits that language-specific structures direct the speaker’s attention to specific aspects of objects and events; such perceived information is then organized according to what can be grammatically coded in the speaker’s first language (L1s). This volume probes a possible interference of L1-based cognition with second language (L2) development. As pointed out by ZhaoHong Han, the first editor, this volume regards Slobin’s thinking-for-speaking hypothesis as one of the several promising accounts for such SLA phenomena as inter- and intra- learner variability, as well as fossilization.

description: Language Development over the Lifespan, compiled by Kees de Bot and Robert W. Schrauf, is a collection of articles that explore language development—both language acquisition and language attrition—from a lifespan perspective. This volume of articles was, first of all, intended as a reference resource for research on language development and the aging process and as a text for MA courses in applied linguistics/bilingualism programs. More importantly, this book establishes a new and exciting perspective on language acquisition by considering developmental language phenomena, that is, “developmental” changes in language that occur over the span of a lifetime. This volume thus opens up new windows to research language acquisition from a developmental perspective. Language development becomes a function of the interaction of timescales both within the lifespan of the individual and at a larger “biocultural” (i.e., historical) level of language development. Historical events like the adoption of an official language by a government, for example, generate changes in language use at a macro-level, which in turn produce “cohort effects” that affect language development within the individual. A key concept to this lifespan perspective is that language is a dynamic system involving multiple components and subsystems. This book provides a comprehensive overview of the impact of cognitive and psychological factors, as well as social and cultural factors like the role of life events in the dynamic development of language.

description: Wendy Adams’ book is published in Routledge's “Law, Justice, and Power” series, edited by Austin Sarat. Like Sarat, Adams, who teaches law at McGill University, belongs to the school of "cultural studies of law". Thus, her writing is refreshingly cosmopolitan and interdisciplinary. Her project is to build a “legal narrative,” which is a framework for popular culture as law, where illegal acts could easily become re-imagined in an alternative legality. She argues that “legal texts originating with the state may well be of less significance in creating legal meaning in our lives than the representations of law in popular culture.”

description: This paper presents a finite element-based warpage simulation method for carbon fibre-reinforced SMC (C-SMC) components for automotive application. In the SMC process, one of the main problems is dimensional distortion of the composite component which is an inherent response of the residual stresses that occur due to chemical and thermal shrinkage of the thermoset resin. To tackle this problem, the curing and cooling behaviour of the composite needs to be predicted in a warpage analysis. For this purpose, material characterization is performed to obtain the thermal and chemical properties, and to parametrize the material models for cure kinetics and time- and temperature-dependent resin modulus. 
Additionally, material properties of the resin in the glassy and rubbery state, the mechanical properties of the fibres and the fibre volume content are required as input in the thermo-mechanical simulation of warpage in Abaqus. In conjunction with the mapped fibre orientation distributions from the SMC process simulation, local homogenization of the aforementioned properties is performed to correctly define the material behaviour during warpage. The warpage of complex automotive composite structure is analysed and a comparison between the experimentally measured and the numerically predicted displacement field is provided.

description: Telecollaboration refers to the use of online communication tools to connect language learners in different countries in collaborative projects and intercultural exchange (Belz, 2001). The last twenty years mark an intensive period of research in online interactions and intercultural exchange. The growth of telecollaboration and online foreign language (FL) interaction in educational settings is irrefutable. This is clearly evident in the volume and concentration of research on it and its related topics, with research developing in parallel to and closely reflecting the unfolding of online interaction and exchange in the field of foreign language education (Reinhardt & Thorne, 2011). Conscious of the wide variety of approaches, paradigms, and challenges that researchers are confronted with when approaching the field of online interaction and exchange in FL education, this book presents a comprehensive guide for practitioners and newcomers alike by two of the veterans in the field, M. Dooly and R. O’Dowd. The editors propose that the volume primarily lends itself to the question of how to investigate telecollaborative 2.0 activity; it also caters for the wider range of online FL exchange including in-class interaction, class-to-class interaction, and learner interaction with the outside world.

description: The topic of my dissertation is satire. This seems to excite many people, and over the past four years I have heard many variations of a similar refrain: “Oh, wow. You’re studying satire? That’s very topical. You must have a lot of material to work with.” There is a way in which this is true, though I suspect in a way that diverges from the way that most of my interlocutors believed. I suspect that the material they imagined me to be working with was the output of Donald Trump, first a candidate for and now holder of the office of President of the United States. That is not the material I find interesting. More interesting to me is their statement. It evinces a number of beliefs that I find interesting, chief among them that Trump makes the current period particularly apt for satire, as if a doddery and incompetent ruling class is somehow a recent phenomenon. And I suspect that underneath this belief in the aptness of satire is a belief in the power of satire. Satire is somehow how people are going to strike back at the vice-governed fools who rule us. Those beliefs are the material I want to work with. This is my interest in satire, then: not so much what it is about satire that makes it powerful, but what is it about satire that makes people think it is powerful? And what is it about satire that makes people think it is powerful when there is pretty powerful evidence that it is not? Unfortunately, here is where I run into the problem that in a very important way I do not have a lot of material to work with. There is not an awful lot on satire within the analytic tradition: outside of a few references to satire, analytic discussions of satire are limited to two short articles. Accordingly, I have taken the task of my dissertation to be to create an account of satire that helps to bring forward why satire is a thing that people can imagine to be powerful, that they can imagine to be politically effective. My dissertation will effectively have two halves, one where I build my account and one where I begin to apply it. The purpose of applying my account, which will comprise the final two chapters, will not be to show its implications so much as how it can be used. My goal will not so much be to give definitive answers about the nature of satire, but rather to give a demonstration of how my account facilitates engaging questions about the role of satire in social and political context.

In this study, we identified (+)-(7′S,8S,8’S)-3′,4,4′,5,5′-pentamethoxy-2,7′-cyclolignan (SG-1), a cyclolignan semi-synthesized from Machilus robusta and M. wangchiana extracts, as a potent NNRTI. SG-1 displayed anti-HIV-1 activity with an IC50 of 0.77 μmol/L by inhibiting reverse transcriptase (RT) RNA-dependent DNA polymerase activity through a direct binding. It had synergistic effects when combined with tenofovir/lamivudine or zidovudine/lamivudine. The pharmacodynamics properties of SG-1 render it a valuable lead for the development of novel NNRTIs.

description: 1. Participants of the study group will significantly choose HV Go over HV NoGo items, both immediately and one-month following cue-approach training. These effects will not be resent for the participants of the control group.
2. Correlation between the percent of choosing go over nogo items and the performance on the recognition task (mainly the go/nogo task).
3. Better accuracy and shorter RTs in the go/nogo recognition task for go vs. no go items, with correlation between remembering a specific go item and the increase of its preference (over nogo items).

description: Per- and Polyfluoroalkyl Substances (PFAS) are persistent and mobile chemicals that threaten drinking water production due to their toxicity and environmental persistence. Despite riverbank filtration (RBF) typically being effective for removing organic compounds, its effectiveness for PFAS removal remains unclear. This study conducted sorption experiments using quartz sand and PFAS solutions to investigate PFAS transport behavior, revealing varying sorption levels influenced by functional groups, chain length, and hydrophobicity. Field monitoring along the Danube River showed low PFAS concentrations, with no significant reduction between river and groundwater, indicating no removal during RBF. Although current PFAS levels are below EU legal limits, potential future changes in regulations or industry practices could pose risks, prompting ongoing research and modeling efforts to better understand and manage PFAS transport and fate in RBF systems.

description: The accurate prediction of the extraction behaviors of various solutes in PUREX reprocessing process is crucial for the operation and implementation of the actual process. In this paper, an integrated model is developed to predict the extraction behaviors of U, Np, Pu, and HNO3 in the co-decontamination step (1A extraction step) in a pulsed extraction column. The model couples several physical and chemical processes, such as countercurrent flow, mass transfer, and chemical reaction. The mass transfer coefficients and the distribution ratios of U(VI), Pu(IV), Np(IV), Np(V), Np(VI), HNO3 and HNO2 can be obtained using this model. In particular, the redox and disproportion reactions of Np are considered in the model, and the flow direction of Np can be judged under various process conditions and the corresponding influential factors can be analyzed. The judgment is based on the yield calculated from the relative concentration profiles of Np(VI), Np(V), and Np(IV) in the two phases. For neptunium to inter 1AP step, it is necessary to select high nitric acid concentration, low nitrite concentration and especially high flow ratio. For neptunium to inter 1AW step, low nitric acid concentration, high nitrite concentration and low flow ratio are needed. Compared with the experimental data, the relative errors of the distribution ratios of various solutes are less than 30%, and the relative errors of the concentrations of U(VI) and Pu(IV) at the outlet of the organic phase are less than 10%, and our model is indicated to be reliable and applicable for co-decontamination step in the PUREX reprocessing process.

description: Graphics play a crucial role in statistical analysis and data mining. Being able to quantify structure in data that is visible in plots, and how people read the structure from plots is an ongoing challenge. The lineup protocol provides a formal framework for data plots, making inference possible. The data plot is treated like a test statistic, and lineup protocol acts like a comparison with the sampling distribution of the nulls. This paper describes metrics for describing structure in data plots, and evaluates them in relation to the choices that human readers made during several large Amazon Turk studies using lineups. The metrics that were more specific to the plot types tended to better match subject choices, than generic metrics. The process that we followed to evaluate metrics will be useful for general development of numerically measuring structure in plots, and also in future experiments on lineups for choosing blocks of pictures.

description: Mesoporous silica films with well ordered nanochannels (approximately 7 nm in diameter) oriented parallel to the substrate were synthesized using supercritical carbon dioxide mediated silica deposition within templates comprised of triblock copolymers blended with strongly associating homopolymers. The films were patterned at the device level by conventional lithography and etched to yield periodic circular features approximately 20 µm in diameter. The nanoscale channels remained accessible to penetrant diffusion as shown by dye uptake experiments. The nanochannel arrays were used as miniature size exclusion columns to mediate nanoparticle diffusion.

description: Many nitrogen-efficient (N-efficient) maize cultivars have been bred to meet increased food demand and allay urgent environmental concerns, but the effects of these cultivars on increasing N accumulation and reducing N loss in the maize system have not been reported. A two-year field pot experiment was conducted in Southwest China to evaluate the advantages of an N-efficient maize cultivar on N accumulation and N loss in 2014 and 2015. The results showed that the N-efficient maize cultivar ZH 311 had higher N uptake and accumulation ability than the N-inefficient maize cultivar XY 508, especially in the middle and late growth stages. ZH 311 maintained higher residual soil inorganic N in the appropriate growth stage, promoting soil N supply capability and enhancing N uptake while decreasing residual soil inorganic N at harvest and reducing the risk of N leaching. Higher nitrogen accumulation and residual soil inorganic N contributed to lower apparent N loss and apparent N loss efficiency for the N-efficient cultivar than for the N-inefficient cultivar. Moreover, N loss during the maize growth season mainly occurred before silking, and the N-efficient maize cultivar could effectively reduce N loss before silking because of its earlier N uptake ability. Overall, the selection of N-efficient maize cultivars is not only an important measure to enhance N use efficiency but also an important means to reduce the loss of N and environmental pollution, especially at low and medium N levels.

description: В статье обсуждается участие окислительного стресса в развитии острых и хронических форм атопического дерматита (АтД). Обследовано 67 больных раннего возраста (средний возраст 29 [16; 43] мес.) с АтД, которые были распределены в три группы в зависимости от клинической формы болезни: 36 пациентов с экссудативной (ЭКС), 25 с эритемато-сквамозной (ЭрС) и 6 с эритемато-сквамозной с лихенизацией (ЭрСЛ). Динамика окислительного статуса изучалась в период обострения и ремиссии АтД путем количественного определения перекисей в образцах ЭДТА-сыворотки колориметрическим методом в микропланшетном формате (тест-систем BiomedicaOxyStat (Австрия)). При исследовании окислительного статуса у детей с ЭрСЛ формой АтД отмечался достоверно самый высокий уровень биопероксидов по сравнению с ЭКС и ЭрС формами. В периоде ремиссии у пациентов с ЭрСЛ формой АтД сохранялся достоверно более высокий уровень биопероксидов относительно ЭКС и ЭрС клинических форм (р=0,045), что предполагает наличие неустойчивой ремиссии у детей с хроническими формами заболевания, имеющих больший риск ближайших обострений АтД по сравнению с детьми, страдающими острыми формами заболевания. Таким образом, изменение концентрации биопероксидов в сыворотке крови детей с ЭКС, ЭрС, ЭРСЛ формами АтД в периоде обострения и ремиссии подтверждает участие окислительного стресса в развитии хронических форм АтД.
