description: Abstract: The early eighth-century Chinese Buddhist apocryphal scripture
known as Lengyan jing or Śūraṃgama sūtra contains some vivid and
lengthy descriptions of demonic states that may arise for the practitioner in
deep states of meditation. In some of these states, the practitioner is said to
experience profound mis-perceptions of reality that are said to correspond
to the teachings of named non-Buddhist individuals or schools in India.
References to Jains or Nirgranthas abound in Chinese Buddhist literature,
and the Jains are frequent targets of religious polemic, but other, more obscure,
ascetic traditions are also the topic of lively discussion for Buddhist
authors. In this paper, I ask why Buddhists in East Asia—especially those
who had never been to India—showed such anxiety and concern about
non-Buddhist teachings.

description: The precise temporal and spatial concentration of microtubule-associated proteins (MAPs) within the cell is fundamental to ensure chromosome segregation and correct spindle positioning. MAPs form an intricate web of interactions among each other and compete for binding sites on microtubules. Therefore, when assessing cellular phenotypes upon MAP up- or downregulation, it is important to consider the protein interaction network between individual MAPs. Here, we show that changes in the amounts of the spindle positioning factor Kar9 specifically affect the distribution of yeast EB1 on spindle microtubules, without influencing other microtubule-associated interacting partners of Kar9, i.e. yeast XMAP215 and CLIP-170. Alterations in the distribution of yeast EB1 explain chromosome segregation defects upon knockout, overexpression or stabilization of Kar9 and provide an example for non-linear effects on MAP behavior after perturbation of their equilibrium.

description: Ordering of mobile defects in functional materials can give rise to fundamentally new phases possessing ferroic and multiferroic functionalities. Here we develop the Landau theory for strain induced ordering of defects (e.g. oxygen vacancies) in thin oxide films, considering both the ordering and wavelength of possible instabilities. Using derived analytical expressions for the energies of various defect-ordered states, we calculated and analyzed phase diagrams dependence on the film-substrate mismatch strain, concentration of defects, and Vegard coefficients. Obtained results open possibilities to create and control superstructures of ordered defects in thin oxide films by selecting the appropriate substrate and defect concentration.

title: Thermophoretic analysis of ligand-specific conformational states of the inhibitory glycine receptor embedded in copolymer nanodiscs
Creators: name: Bernhard, Max

Publisher: name: Springer Nature

description: The glycine receptor (GlyR), a member of the pentameric ligand-gated ion channel family (pLGIC), displays remarkable variations in the affinity and efficacy of the full agonist glycine and the partial agonist taurine depending on the cell system used. Despite detailed insights in the GlyR three-dimensional structure and activation mechanism, little is known about conformational rearrangements induced by these agonists. Here, we characterized the conformational states of the α1 GlyR upon binding of glycine and taurine by microscale thermophoresis expressed in HEK293 cells and Xenopus oocytes after solubilization in amphipathic styrene-maleic acid copolymer nanodiscs. Our results show that glycine and taurine induce different conformational transitions of the GlyR upon ligand binding. In contrast, the variability of agonist affinity is not mediated by an altered conformational change. Thus, our data shed light on specific agonist induced conformational features and mechanisms of pLGIC upon ligand binding determining receptor activation in native environments.

description: Objective: The objective of this study was to estimate the safety benefits of in vehicle lane departure warning (LDW) and lane keeping aid (LKA) systems in reducing relevant real-world passenger car injury crashes. Methods: The study used an induced exposure method, where LDW/LKA-sensitive and nonsensitive crashes were compared for Volvo passenger cars equipped with and without LDW/LKA systems. These crashes were matched by car make, model, model year, and technical equipment; that is, low-speed autonomous emergency braking (AEB) called City Safety (CS). The data were extracted from the Swedish Traffic Accident Data Acquisition database (STRADA) and consisted of 1,853 driver injury crashes that involved 146 LDW-equipped cars, 11 LKA-equipped cars, and 1,696 cars without LDW/LKA systems. Results: The analysis showed a positive effect of the LDW/LKA systems in reducing lane departure crashes. The LDW/LKA systems were estimated to reduce head-on and single-vehicle injury crashes on Swedish roads with speed limits between 70 and 120 km/h and with dry or wet road surfaces (i.e., not covered by ice or snow) by 53% with a lower limit of 11% (95% confidence interval [CI]). This reduction corresponded to a reduction of 30% with a lower limit of 6% (95% CI) for all head-on and single-vehicle driver injury crashes (including all speed limits and all road surface conditions). Conclusions: LDW/LKA systems were estimated to lower the driver injury risk in crash types that the systems are designed to prevent; that is, head-on and single-vehicle crashes. Though these are important findings, they were based on a small data set. Therefore, further research is desirable to evaluate the effectiveness of LDW/LKA systems under real-world conditions and to differentiate the effectiveness between technical solutions (i.e., LDW and LKA) proposed by different manufacturers.

description: El aprendizaje en sistemas artificiales puede utilizar diversas técnicas para aprovechar el poder computacional de una máquina, sin depender necesariamente de procesos cognitivos humanos. Un área de investigación que tiene gran importancia es la investigación sobre el nivel de conocimiento adquirido por un usuario en función de su conocimiento existente. Esto incluye examinar cómo el conocimiento previo puede contribuir al proceso de hacer inferencias, circunscribir limitaciones y, en última instancia, adquirir nuevos conocimientos. Un escenario en el que la automatización de procesos es particularmente crucial es durante eventos inconvenientes como enfermedades o accidentes. Una empresa se basa en la organización de puestos profesionales y la adecuada distribución de responsabilidades entre sus empleados. Las computadoras desempeñan un papel crucial en la simplificación de los laboriosos aspectos del análisis estadístico y son capaces de generar cálculos precisos. Pero, es importante reconocer que su uso no garantiza automáticamente la validez y corrección de los resultados obtenidos.

Introduction: The Practice of Latina Feminist Recovery

Publisher: name: Arte Público Press
Year: 2023
Subjects: subject: Mexican American women
subject: Hispanic American women

description: This collection of academic essays introduces new research on Latina histories and cultures from the mid-nineteenth century to 1980. Examining a wide range of source materials, including personal and institutional archives, literature and oral history, the authors of the fifteen articles use transnational approaches and Latina feminist theory to remind us of a principle that is still too often forgotten: that sex and gender should be centered as crucial problematics in the study of the long history of Latina/o/x literature and culture. Applying an intersectional methodology that analyzes gender in relation to numerous identities—race, class, sexuality, language and nationality—the scholars explore diverse subjects such as the literary work of historical Latina authors María Amparo Ruiz de Burton and María Cristina Mena; the travails of Basque women in the United States in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries; and Chicana activism in Wyoming in the 1970s and 1980s. The book is divided into four sections: Feminist Readings of Latina Authors; Gender, Politics and Power in the Spanish-Language Press; Radical Latinas' Politics; and Reclaiming Community, Reclaiming Knowledge. In their introduction, editors Montse Feu and Yolanda Padilla map significant elements in the practice of Latina feminist recovery and suggest the importance of using queer studies frameworks and speculative approaches to archives in order to amplify queer, Afro-Latina/o and indigenous voices. Published as part of the Recovering the US Hispanic Literary Heritage Series, Latina Histories and Cultures continues the efforts to rescue the written legacy of the Hispanic population in what has become the United States and will be required reading for academics and students in a variety of disciplines.

description: In this work, an experimental investigation of AdBlue film formation in a generic selective catalytic reduction (SCR) exhaust gas test bench is presented. AdBlue is injected into a generic SCR test bench resulting in liquid film formation on the lower wall of the channel. The thickness of this liquid film is measured using a film thickness sensor based on absorption spectroscopy. Simultaneously, the wall temperature at the measurement point is monitored, which allows for examining correlations between the evolution of the film thickness and the temperature of the wetted wall. The velocity of the airflow in the channel and the initial wall temperature are varied in the experiments. Correspondingly, the measurements are performed during different thermodynamic regimes, including liquid film deposition and boiling. Repeated measurements have also shown that the film thicknesses are reproducible with a standard deviation of 3.4 %. LES-based numerical simulations are compared to the experimental results of the film thickness during the early injection stage. Finally, a numerical analysis is performed to analyze the AdBlue droplet impingement and subsequent film-formation dynamics.

description: Objective: The objective of this study was to obtain information about the current knowledge and habits of parents who transport children in cars in Brazil. Methods: A cross-sectional survey was conducted using specifically designed self-report questionnaires to parents of children attending a private pediatric office in a town in southwest Brazil. Data were collected regarding children's age, gender, height, and weight and possession of an automobile child restraint system (CRS), its type, frequency and adequacy of use, and reasons for not possessing or not using the devices. Parents were asked whether their cars were equipped with airbags and about the use of the restraints in seats with airbags. Results: We interviewed parents of 293 children transported in cars who met the criteria for use of a CRS. Children were younger than 1 year in 15.3% of the cases, between 1 and 4 years in 38.6%, and older than 4 in 46.1%. Cars were equipped with CRS in 78.5% of the cases, but in only 58% of the cases was the device proper for child's age and adequately installed in the seat. Among owners of the devices, 84.3% reported that they always used it. Reasons for infrequency were forgetting the device at home or in another car (6.4%), the child disliking the device (3.2%), or the false impression that the child was grown enough not to use it (3.2%)l 87.1% did not justify why they did not always use the CRS. Considering type of CRS, correct installation of the seat, and frequency of use, only 44.4% of children under 1 year, 69.9% of those 1 to 4 years, and 52.6% over age 4 were protected. Only 28.6% of the parents knew that children should never be positioned in a seat with active airbags. Conclusion: Considering appropriateness for age, correctness of installation (in the back seat in the correct orientation), and frequency of use, only 50.85% (149/293) of the children were reported as always protected with a CRS. Children between 1 and 4 years were more likely to always use a CRS in this Brazilian survey. We were also able to identify an important gap in the knowledge about airbags among parents. Further efforts are needed to correct those distortions.

description: Growing constrictions and suffocating borders, due to an unrelenting occupation, continue to plague the lives of Palestinians living in the West Bank and the Gaza Strip. Raja Shehadeh's 2019 book, Going Home, illustrates how this stifling existence has only worsened with time. His work provides a chronology of events and highlights changes within Ramallah, which he meticulously records on 5 June 2017, a date that coincides with the 50th anniversary of Israeli occupation. As he roams through his home-town, he chronicles the changes that have taken place under occupation. His recollections revive a history that is being eroded. In his search for the metaphorical home, he identifies places that no longer exist, and his diaries allow him to preserve a lost history. As he walks, he reflects on how this once sleepy town has evolved into a claustrophobic and foreboding place, caging its citizens, offering nothing but 'blocked' spaces. Here, I argue that Shehadeh's work not only provides a documentation of a vanishing space but is also an attempt at preserving what is left through memory, while deciphering the meaning of home and identity in this dwindling world.

description: The PyKEEN project began in 2018 coincident with a boom in the development, evaluation, and application of knowledge graph embedding models (KGEMs) to a variety of real-world tasks. Along with the goal of reimplementing and reproducing landmark models and experiments, PyKEEN endeavored to both philosophically and technically define a unified, extensible, reusable framework for KGEMs and their components. We will begin by briefly describing the intertwined journeys of our project and our team of young researchers and software engineers. After reflecting on the academic and industrial adoption of PyKEEN, we will finish by presenting some exciting current and future directions for PyKEEN to align with related software projects, to embrace maturing paradigms like inductive learning, and to diversify to new technologies like graph neural networks and language models.
Students’ knowledge and attitude towards plagiarism: A case of Lusaka Apex Medical University students

Subjects: subject: Counseling in higher education

description: Laws guide societies in the world. These laws are meant to create an environment that ensures citizens’ rights are respected. The same happens in academia. There are guidelines that students follow in the execution of their assignments, examinations and research in higher institutions. These guidelines are meant to ensure that there is no any form of academic dishonesty being perpetuated by the students. This paper investigated Lusaka Apex Medical University students’ knowledge and attitude towards plagiarism. The study sought to assess the knowledge of LAMU students towards plagiarism, examine the attitude of LAMU students towards plagiarism, assess factors that foster plagiarism among students, and find out strategies to address plagiarism among students. Using descriptive research design and simple random sampling, quantitative and qualitative data was collected through Google form questionnaires shared in students’ whatsApp groups. Data were analyzed using Excel while qualitative data was analyzed thematically. Findings revealed that majority students had knowledge on plagiarism and showed copying from the internet as their major method of plagiarism. Accordingly, findings on factors influencing plagiarism showed limited time while the need for sensitization by students was indicated as a strategy to combat the vice.
Uncertain Waters and Irony in Australian Settler Literatures

Subjects: subject: Settler colonialism

subject: Ecocriticism

description: Critics are increasingly recognizing the presence of irony in environmental cultures, often stressing its ability to highlight disjunctions between the individual’s convictions and their compromised behaviors. This article extends this work by taking up the relationship between irony and settler-colonial imaginaries in writings about unpredictable bodies of water. Focusing on settler writing in Australia, the article juxtaposes nineteenth-century author Henry Lawson and contemporary novelist Jane Rawson to argue that irony constitutes a form of environmental knowledge, calling up norms and hierarchies regarding water but also creating openings toward waters that cannot be given meaning. Lawson’s writings about ephemeral rivers and lakes stress their divergence from metropolitan ideas of water’s continuity, presence, and visibility. Largely ignoring Indigenous peoples’ relationships with water, his ironies of overturned expectations and norms make contact with but also disparage water in unfamiliar forms. By contrast, Rawson’s A Wrong Turn at the Office of Unmade Lists (2013) employs irony to grasp how climate-changed floodwater disrupts settler norms founded upon the erasure of floodplains and of Indigenous and colonial histories of urban rivers. Juxtaposing Rawson with Lawson illuminates an ongoing need to be cautious about the ideals that irony may evoke in response to changing and uncertain waters. At the same time, irony provides a multivalent tool to critically address what Mark Rifkin calls “settler common sense,” to glimpse the persistence of Indigenous knowledge and perspectives, and to acknowledge occluded forms of environmental agency.

Non-mathematical dimensions of randomness: Implications for problem gambling
Creators: name: Barboianu, Catalin
Publisher: name: Humanities Commons
Year: 2024
Subjects: subject: Compulsive gambling
subject: Science--Philosophy

description: Randomness, a core concept of gambling, is seen in problem gambling as responsible for the formation of the math-related cognitive distortions, especially the Gambler’s Fallacy. In problem-gambling research, the concept of randomness was traditionally referred to as having a mathematical nature and categorized and approached as such. Randomness is not a mathematical concept, and I argue that its weak mathematical dimension is not decisive at all for the randomness-related issues in gambling and problem gambling, including the correction of the misconceptions and fallacies about probability and statistical concepts applied in gambling. I distinguish between mathematical and nonmathematical dimensions of randomness (the epistemic, the theoretical-methodological, the functional, and the ethical) falling within the general concept, and I argue that both the studies having as object the math-related cognitive distortions among gamblers and the educational programs aiming at correcting them should employ this distinction in their design and content.

Princess Miaoshan, Self-immolator?

description: In this paper, I offer a new reading of the popular narrative of
Princess Miaoshan in Chinese religion, placing it within the larger context
of self-immolation as found in Buddhist narratives and the actions of selfimmolators.
The acts of extreme violence done to Miaoshan by her father
and herself (she stabs the inside of her mouth with a hairpin in order to
produce rain, for example) call out for interpretation. It would be instructive
to examine not only narratives of self-sacrificing bodhisattvas from Buddhist
scriptures but also popular self-immolators such as the charismatic figure
Liu Benzun 柳本尊 (855–907). Liu was the leader of a grassroots esoteric
Buddhist movement that was active in western Sichuan at the end of the
ninth century. His practice relied on the use of mantras and on intensive
bodily practice for the welfare of others. Liu himself successively amputated
or incinerated ten parts of his body. I will place the legend of Princess
Miaoshan in conversation with that of Liu Benzun and other narratives
relating to extreme body practices and self-immolation in Chinese Buddhism
to see if we can arrive at a better understanding of her story.

description: This article presents an analysis of the economic situation of several animal sectors (cow's milk, beef, pork, poultry and horses) in France, two years after the start of the Covid-19 pandemic. Using the latest statistical data available for the period 2020 to 2021 and taking into account the historical trajectories followed, it seeks to highlight how this health crisis has had implications for production, prices, consumption, foreign trade and, in the case of the equine sector, various activities (horse betting, attendance at riding schools, etc.). The production of agricultural goods was generally little affected by the health crisis, as farmers continued to produce, sometimes despite certain difficulties (lack of manpower, temporary loss of outlets, etc.). Faced with a significant change in the structure of demand (increase in products purchased by households to the detriment of those favored in out-of-home catering), sudden measures imposed by the State and the difficulties sometimes encountered in maintaining the number of employees, processing actors were able to adapt quickly to enable them to supply consumers with the goods they demanded. Trade flows were also disrupted in 2020, before picking up again in 2021, following trends that are ultimately quite consistent with those seen before the crisis. Under the influence, on the one hand, of higher energy prices (even before the war in Ukraine which started on February 24, 2022) and, on the other hand, of fluctuating imports from China on the world markets, producer prices increased at the end of 2021 (with the exception of the pig sector), but this increase is counterbalanced by an increase in production costs. In the equine sector, turnover losses have been temporarily significant due to the strong interaction of this sector with the public. After the shock of 2020, and thanks to a strong adaptation of the actors, the activities are gradually resuming.
'Action Buddhism' in the Medieval Chinese Empire,
Creators: name: Benn, James A
Publisher: name: De Gruyter
Year: 2024
Subjects: subject: Buddhism
subject: Tang Dynasty (China)
subject: Buddhists

description: This essay will focus mostly on the Tang dynastic empire (618–907 CE), a "second
wave" empire as defined in the Introduction to this volume, and its relations with
Buddhism, although it will be necessary to say something about earlier Chinese dynasties
and about other religions. As we shall see, an awareness of history permeates
the relationship between the Tang imperium and the Buddhist establishment;
both parties were well informed as to what had happened between them before
and tried to act accordingly. I will first give an overview of the normative state
of relations between the Tang imperial government and the Buddhist church
and supply some background on the historical context in which those relations occurred.
I will then indicate what I see as the recurrent problems and potential benefits
of the relationship (an issue common to empires and religions, as noted in the
Introduction), mostly from the perspective of the Tang rulers. Then, I will examine
the strategies adopted by the state

description: The Sugarman Song Cycle was written as a script and has been performed in communities around Central Australia. The extract that appears here is taken from the First Part of the script, which was originally performed at the Intjartnama Aboriginal Alcohol Rehabilitation Village, west of Alice Springs, in 1996. The performance took place ‘in the open air, under the the stars in a circular space of red sand, cleared of spinifex, lit by fires’, according to San Roque. ‘There were dancers, musicians, narrators, giant puppets, and symbolic objects….The performance lasted over 5 hours, with leisurely breaks for meals……’.

description: Objective: The aim of this study was to identify the most sensitive heart rate and blood pressure variability (HRV and BPV) parameters from a given set of well-known methods for the quantification of cardiovascular autonomic function after several autonomic blockades. Methods: Cardiovascular sympathetic and parasympathetic functions were studied in freely moving rats following peripheral muscarinic (methylatropine), β1-adrenergic (metoprolol), muscarinic + β1-adrenergic, α1-adrenergic (prazosin), and ganglionic (hexamethonium) blockades. Time domain, frequency domain and symbolic dynamics measures for each of HRV and BPV were classified through paired Wilcoxon test for all autonomic drugs separately. In order to select those variables that have a high relevance to, and stable influence on our target measurements (HRV, BPV) we used Fisher's Method to combine the p-value of multiple tests. Results: This analysis led to the following best set of cardiovascular variability parameters: The mean normal beat-to-beat-interval/value (HRV/BPV: meanNN), the coefficient of variation (cvNN = standard deviation over meanNN) and the root mean square differences of successive (RMSSD) of the time domain analysis. In frequency domain analysis the very-low-frequency (VLF) component was selected. From symbolic dynamics Shannon entropy of the word distribution (FWSHANNON) as well as POLVAR3, the non-linear parameter to detect intermittently decreased variability, showed the best ability to discriminate between the different autonomic blockades. Conclusion: Throughout a complex comparative analysis of HRV and BPV measures altered by a set of autonomic drugs, we identified the most sensitive set of informative cardiovascular variability indexes able to pick up the modifications imposed by the autonomic challenges. These indexes may help to increase our understanding of cardiovascular sympathetic and parasympathetic functions in translational studies of experimental diseases.

description: This essay won or received an honorable mention for The Boothe Prize for excellence in first-year writing. The Boothe Prize recognizes and rewards outstanding expository and argumentative writing by undergraduate students in first-year classes that satisfy the WR 1 requirement. In each award-winning essay, student writers demonstrate clarity of argument, excellent integration of research-based evidence, and compelling prose style.
This essay brings a bioethics lens together with a focus on the way language influences cognition, arguing that the current metaphors used to describe the gene-editing technology CRISPR are flawed and, in turn, have severe implications in public perception and policy. The author calls for a “linguistic bioethics,” or a interdisciplinary focus on defining “ethical and effective vocabulary” in science communication.
