description: Objectives: We aimed to investigate relationships of platelet glycoprotein (GP) specific antibody with therapeutic efficacy of high-dose dexamethasone (HD-DXM) and bleeding score in primary immune thrombocytopenia (ITP) adults. Methods: A retrospective study was carried out to analyze relationships of polymorphism of GP specific antibody with initial therapeutic efficacy of HD-DXM and bleeding score of newly diagnosed ITP adults between 1 June, 2016 and 31 January, 2020. Results: 59 patients were involved in the study, with 33 cases of responders and 26 cases of non-responders between June 2016 and January 2020. At admission, there were 31 (52.5%) GP antibody-positive patients. Initial therapy of HD-DXM was effective for 78.6% GP antibody-negative patients and 35.5% GP antibody-positive patients, with a better therapeutic efficacy in patients with anti-GP Ib/IX antibody or anti-GP IIb/IIIa antibody but not in those with anti-GP Ib/IX antibody plus anti-GP IIb/IIIa antibody. Notably, therapeutic efficacy is much worse for minority (Uyghur) patients compared with corresponding Han patients. Similarly, it was much lower in GP antibody-positive patients compared with corresponding negative ones at low and medium bleeding score, with no response in GP antibody-positive patients at high bleeding score. Furthermore, there was a moderate negative correlation between therapeutic efficacy and GP-specific antibody (p < 0.05), but no obvious linear relationship between clinical bleeding degree and GP-specific antibody (p > 0.05). Conclusion: Collectively, the newly diagnosed ITP adults with GP-specific antibody have a poor response to short-term HD-DXM, especially in minority (Uyghur) patients with GP-specific antibody in China.

Chrysura austriaca

description: 68. Chrysura austriaca (Fabricius, 1804)
Chrysis austriaca Fabricius 1804: 173. Holotype ♀; Austria (ZMUC) (examined).
Chrysura austriaca: Orlovskytė et al. 2010: 152, Rosa & Soon 2012.
Distribution. Lithuania.—Transpalearctic: from Europe and North Africa to Siberia and Japan (Linsenmaier 1997, Kurzenko & Lelej 2007).
Remarks. In the studied area, C. austriaca has been found from only three localities in Lithuania (Puvočiai, Trakai, Vilnius) (Orlovskytė et al. 2010). Billberg (1820: 104) reported the species from Sweden and later also Trautmann (1927: 113), Berland & Bernard (1938: 83), Benno (1950: 44), Balthasar (1954: 176), Haupt (1957: 77), Noskiewicz & Pulawski (1958: 40) and Banaszak (1980: 23) mentioned the species from the country. We have considered these records doubtful, as we have not seen any Swedish specimens in collections. Most of the Swedish records probably originate from Dahlbom’s publications (1829: 14 and 1831: 31), where Chrysis austriaca (sensu Dahlbom) was reported from southern Sweden. Later Dahlbom (1854: 134) noticed his mistake and corrected the species to Chrysis integrella, which is currently known as Pseudospinolia neglecta. The closest records of C. austriaca outside the Nordic and Baltic countries are from northern Germany, Mecklenburg-Vorpommern (Jakobs & Kornmilch 2007).

description: Epitaxial thin films of the half-metallic Xa-compound Mn2CoGa (Hg2CuTi prototype) were prepared by dc magnetron co-sputtering with different heat treatments on MgO (001) substrates. High-quality films with a bulk magnetization of 1.95(5)μ_B per unit cell were obtained. The L3,2 x-ray magnetic circular dichroism spectra agree with calculations based on density functional theory (DFT) and reveal the antiparallel alignment of the two inequivalent Mn moments. X-ray magnetic linear dichroism, in good agreement with theory as well, allows to distinguish between itinerant and local Mn moments. Based on non-collinear spin DFT it is shown that one of the two Mn moments has local character, whereas the other Mn moment and the Co moment are itinerant.

description: In this thesis, first, the self-assembly features of the dithienophosphole system were explored by controlling the structural features of the compounds. By varying different directing forces and tuning their strength, a wide variety of self-assembly motifs with interesting optoelectronic features was achieved. Second, the unique chemistry involving the exocyclic R substituent at the phosphorus centre of the phosphole was discussed. Direct functionalization of the phosphole post ring closing can be achieved conveniently through newly synthesized chlorophosphole precursors. Furthermore, an unprecedented method for the construction of P-P single bond was discussed in mechanistic detail.
Addressing the need for family-based elderly care policies in Brazil

description: The Brazilian population is ageing quickly. Of the country's 208 million inhabitants, 8,5% are aged 65 years or older. This percentage will reach 13.44% in 2030. Brazil's old-age dependency ratio, which is the ratio of older dependents to the working-age population, was 12.27% in 2017, compared with 6.68% in 1990. This increase creates a challenging situation with regard to elderly care. Because families are now smaller, they face more difficulty in providing care. This is a situation that needs to be addressed by government. Besides providing public services for elderly care, it is important to develop and implement public policies that effectively empower families. This work provides a review of family-based policies for elderly care from several countries that can be implemented in Brazil. There is also a brief review of elderly rights in Brazilian law and an analysis of current demographic trends in Brazil.

description: Chronic wasting disease (CWD) of cervids is the most contagious prion disease. To develop new cell culture models for CWD prions, which endogenously expressing cervid PrPc. We have established skin-derived stem cells from antler tissue of Caribou and a non-transformed fibroblast cell line from Indian Muntjac deer. Immunoblot analysis showed that cell lines express glycosylated PrPc at the outer leaflet of the plasma membrane. Then we infected these cells with CWD prions and studied PrPSc uptake and prion propagation. Novel CWD prion propagating cells will be useful for elucidating the molecular mechanisms underlying the pronounced lateral spread of CWD prions. Moreover, we tested Tamoxifen and AR-12 along with its derivatives are able to induce reduction of PrPSc via the autophagic pathway. Both drugs can be used as therapeutic agents against prion infection. Our study provides potentially neuroprotective drugs which might be beneficial in prion disease.

description: Motivated by recent observational data, the equations of state with the inclusion of strangeness-bearing $Λ$-hyperons and the corresponding properties of neutron stars are studied, based on the covariant density functional (CDF) theory. To this end, we specifically employ the density dependent relativistic Hartree-Fock (DDRHF) theory and the relativistic mean field theory (RMF). The inclusion of $Λ$-hyperons in neutron stars shows substantial effects in softening the equation of state. Because of the extra suppression effect originated from the Fock channel, large reductions on both the star mass and radius are predicted by the DDRHF calculations. It is also found that the mass-radius relations of neutron stars with $Λ$-hyperons determined by DDRHF with the PKA1 parameter set are in fairly good agreement with the observational data where a relatively small neutron stars radius is required. Therefore, it is expected that the exotic degrees of freedom such as the strangeness-bearing structure may appear and play significant roles inside the neutron stars, which is supported further by the systematical investigations on the consistency between the maximum neutron star mass and $Λ$-coupling strength.

description: Background: HH is the most important strategy to prevent spread of hospital-acquired infections. HCWs’ HH compliance is typically 30-50%. Human monitoring of HH is inconvenient and labor-intensive. Purpose: Objectives. Sub-study 1: Investigate validity and reliability of an RFID system in detection of handwashing events. Sub-study 2: Investigate changes in HH compliance and duration with perceived level of infectious risk (PRF). Sub-study 3: Explore social/behavioral factors which influence HH practice. Design: Observational. Results: RFID system Sensitivity =0.175[0.057, 0.293]; PPV =0.778[0.649, 0.907]; Reliability =0.266[0.109, 0.520]. HH compliance was higher for higher PRFs, χ-square =67.36, p<0.0001. Handwashing duration was longer for higher PRFs, χ-square =18.25, p<0.0001. Meaning of Hand Hygiene is central to nurses’ HH practice. Conclusion: RFID system has poor reliability but reasonable validity when used for detecting handwashing. HH compliance is higher and handwashing duration longer after exposure to higher PRFs. Meaning of HH is central to HH practice.

description: We define a monad M on a category of measurable bornological sets, and we show how this monad gives rise to a theory of vector-valued integration that is related to the notion of Pettis integral. We show that an algebra X of this monad is a bornological locally convex vector space endowed with operations which associate vectors \int f dm in X to incoming maps f:T --> X and measures m on T. We prove that a Banach space is an M-algebra as soon as it has a Pettis integral for each incoming bounded weakly-measurable function. It follows that all separable Banach spaces, and all reflexive Banach spaces, are M-algebras.

description: La violencia en la familia, y en especial la que tiene por autores o víctimas a niños o adolescentes, tiene unas especiales características que deben abordarse de forma multidisciplinar. Las consecuencias jurídicas son una de las claves a la hora de atender desde las otras disciplinas el tratamiento de las personas implicadas en esa situación de violencia. La actuación del personal sanitario, educativo y social puede predeterminar la existencia o no de las consecuencias jurídicas derivadas de la violencia intrafamiliar así como la posibilidad de establecer responsabilidad penal de sus autores. Para favorecer el mejor conocimiento de esas interacciones, en este trabajo se analizan los datos sobre violencia doméstica y especialmente la relacionada con menores de 18 años. Asimismo, se estudian los datos de la Comunidad Autónoma de Castilla-La Mancha en relación con el Registro Unificado de Maltrato Infantil. Finalmente se estudia la tipificación de las conductas de maltrato infantil y violencia doméstica.

description: Using discrete molecular dynamics simulations we study the relation between the thermodynamic and diffusive behaviors of a primitive model of aqueous solutions of hydrophobic solutes consisting of hard spheres in the Jagla particles solvent, close to the liquid-liquid critical point of the solvent. We find that the fragile-to-strong dynamic transition in the diffusive behavior is always coupled to the low-density/high-density liquid transition. Above the liquid-liquid critical pressure, the diffusivity crossover occurs at the Widom line, the line along which the thermodynamic response functions show maxima. Below the liquid-liquid critical pressure, the diffusivity crossover occurs when the limit of mechanical stability lines are crossed, as indicated by the hysteresis observed when going from high to low temperature and vice versa. These findings show that the strong connection between dynamics and thermodynamics found in bulk water persists in hydrophobic solutions for concentrations from low to moderate, indicating that experiments measuring the relaxation time in aqueous solutions represent a viable route for solving the open questions in the field of supercooled water.

description: I review the unification of gauge couplings of strong, weak and electro-magnetic interactions. I start by recalling the history of the most important prediction of low-energy supersymmetry: the correct value of the weak mixing angle tied to a large top quark mass. I then turn to the discussion of the present day situation of the minimal supersymmetric Grand Unified Theories based on SU(5) and SO(10) groups, and I show why the minimal SU(5) is in accord with experiment. For the sake of completeness I also summarize the problems and possible solutions of the minimal ordinary SU(5). One version, based on the minimal Georgi-Glashow model, augmented by the adjoint fermion, predicts a light fermion triplet to lie below TeV or so. Its (lepton number violating) decays offer a hope of probing neutrino (Majorana) masses and mixings at the LHC.

description: This support paper will explore the medical, societal and personal implications derived from the compulsion of self-mutilation. It is studied through research creation in the form of sculpture, photographs, videos and bio-art. Three bodies of work will be discussed, beginning with a critique of medical objectification and concluding on the subjective experience of psychic and physical pain. Experiencing bodies on display, however metaphorical, has the power to elicit emotional responses from a viewer. By interacting with the aforementioned three bodies of work in their various settings, social constructions are questioned and given context, taboo subjects are dissected and most importantly works may elicit an emotional response in the form of empathy in the viewer. Keywords: Research creation, pure immanence, self-mutilation, mental illness, stigma, medicalization, public sphere, private sphere, pain theory.

description: In a previous paper we used T-duality to construct a new type of 1/4-BPS solution describing a pair of NS5-branes intersecting in 1+3 dimensions and localised in all other directions except for a single transverse circle. This led to an explicit solution to a sourced Monge--Ampere equation, of which there are few known examples. In this paper we refine this formalism and apply it to two important generalisations: the resolved and deformed conifolds. In doing so we construct two new solutions describing, respectively, a pair of NS5-branes separated in a transverse direction and a pair of NS5-branes with smooth `diamond' profile. We show how the parameter of the resolved conifold (size of the S^2) maps to a transverse separation of the NS5-branes, while the modulus of the deformed conifold (size of the S^3) maps to the deformation parameter of the diamond web.

description: This is a study of the Euler equations for free surface water waves in the case of varying bathymetry, considering the problem in the shallow water scaling regime. In the case of rapidly varying periodic bottom boundaries this is a problem of homogenization theory. In this setting we derive a new model system of equations, consisting of the classical shallow water equations coupled with nonlocal evolution equations for a periodic corrector term. We also exhibit a new resonance phenomenon between surface waves and a periodic bottom. This resonance, which gives rise to secular growth of surface wave patterns, can be viewed as a nonlinear generalization of the classical Bragg resonance. We justify the derivation of our model with a rigorous mathematical analysis of the scaling limit and the resulting error terms. The principal issue is that the shallow water limit and the homogenization process must be performed simultaneously. Our model equations and the error analysis are valid for both the two- and the three-dimensional physical problems.

description: An oscillatory instability has been observed experimentally on an horizontal cylinder free to move and rotate between two parallel vertical walls of distance H; its characteristics differ both from vortex shedding driven oscillations and from those of tethered cylinders in the same geometry. The vertical motion of the cylinder, its rotation about its axis and its transverse motion across the gap have been investigated as a function of its diameter D, its density s, of the mean vertical velocity U of the fluid and of its viscosity. For a blockage ratio D/H above 0.5 and a Reynolds number Re larger then 14, oscillations of the rolling angle of the cylinder about its axis and of its transverse coordinate in the gap are observed together with periodic variations of the vertical velocity. Their frequency f is the same for the sedimentation of the cylinder in a static fluid (U = 0) and for a non-zero mean flow (U 6= 0). The Strouhal number St associated to the oscillation varies as 1/Re with : St.Re = 3 $\pm$ 0.15. The corresponding period 1/f is then independent of U and corresponds to a characteristic viscous diffusion time over a distance ~ D, implying a strong influence of the viscosity. These characteristics differ from those of vortex shedding and tethered cylinders for which St is instead roughly constant with Re and higher than here.

description: La reducción de la violencia interpersonal, especialmente contra las mujeres durante el período perinatal, es una de las prioridades de las políticas socio - culturales en Argentina. Si bien hasta el momento se exploraron principalmente soluciones técnicas; investigaciones recientes señalan la importancia de un mejor marketing social que aumentaría la eficacia de las políticas y programas orientados a la prevención de la violencia y la promoción de una maternidad saludable. El estudio se propone, a partir de una revisión sistemática e interdisciplinar de la literatura, elaborar un modelo aplicativo que, a partir de una perspectiva relacional, sea útil para diseñar, implementar y evaluar programas de marketing social que, basados en los principios de la comunicación estratégica, la orientación familiar y la psicología social positiva, puedan ser aplicados en contextos urbanos complejos. El modelo aplicativo facilitará el desarrollo de instrumentos de investigación - acción que permitirán diseñar intervenciones basadas en evidencias, identificar factores predictores de impacto, orientar políticas públicas a favor de la maternidad y fortalecer la establilidad y el desarrollo positivo de las familias, especialmente aquellas que se encuentran en situación de vulnerabilidad.

description: Human CD81 and CD9 are members of the tetraspanin family of proteins characterized by a canonical structure of four transmembrane domains and two extracellular loop domains. Tetraspanins are known as molecular facilitators, which assemble and organize cell surface receptors and partner molecules forming clusters known as tetraspanin-enriched microdomains. They have been implicated to play various biological roles including an involvement in infections with microbial pathogens. Here, we demonstrate an important role of CD81 for the invasion of epithelial cells by Salmonella enterica. We show that the overexpression of CD81 in HepG2 cells enhances invasion of various typhoidal and non-typhoidal Salmonella serovars. Deletion of CD81 by CRISPR/Cas9 in intestinal epithelial cells (C2BBe1 and HT29-MTX-E12) reduces S. Typhimurium invasion. In addition, the effect of human CD81 is species-specific as only human but not rat CD81 facilitates Salmonella invasion. Finally, immunofluorescence microscopy and proximity ligation assay revealed that both human tetraspanins CD81 and CD9 are recruited to the entry site of S. Typhimurium during invasion but not during adhesion to the host cell surface. Overall, we demonstrate that the human tetraspanin CD81 facilitates Salmonella invasion into epithelial host cells.

description: Las sociedades desarrolladas, una vez extendida la escolarización a casi toda su población, se enfrentan actualmente al reto de la mejora de la calidad educativa, una tarea compleja, tanto como lo es la educación en sí misma (Fuentes y Albertos, 2017). La educación de calidad se basa en contenidos que respondan a lo que el individuo necesita para desarrollarse a nivel físico, intelectual, afectivo, moral y espiritual; potenciando además el desarrollo de la persona en los diversos ámbitos en los que se desenvuelve.

description: Earthquakes are the deadliest natural disasters affecting the human environment. Global seismic risk and vulnerability to earthquakes are increasing steadily as urbanization and development occupy more areas that a prone to effects of strong earthquakes. Furthermore, uncontrolled growth of mega cities in highly seismic areas in the world is often associated with the construction of buildings and infrastructure, inconsistent with the regional seismo-tectonic features and seismic hazard. The assessment of seismic hazard and generation of earthquake scenarios is the first link in the prevention chain and the first step in the evaluation of the seismic risk.
In the present study a deterministic earthquake scenario (expressed in macroseismic intensity MSK) for the city of Ruse is generated. The study is guided by the perception that usable and realistic, based on both local seismic history and tectonic conditions, ground motion maps have to be produced for urban areas. The scenario maps account soil amplification effects using the geotechnical zonation of the considered urban area.

description: El acogimiento residencial, diferenciado de forma explícita del acogimiento familiar por la Ley Orgánica de Protección Jurídica del Menor (LOPJM), se configura como un instrumento de protección de menores, cuya pretensión es la de ingresar a un menor en un centro de protección adecuado a sus circunstancias y características, con objeto de que éste reciba la atención, educación y formación adecuadas. Sin embargo, con la modificación legislativa de las leyes 26/2015 del 28 de julio y la Ley Orgánica 8/2015 del 22 de julio, se modifica el sistema de protección a la infancia y a la adolescencia concediendo una mayor priorización del acogimiento familiar por encima del residencial.

The Space-In-Between: Ontology and the Place of Curriculum in the Culturally Diverse Post-Secondary Early Childhood Education Classroom

subject: Post-Secondary Teacher Education

description: This doctoral dissertation explores the topic of teaching and learning and the intersections between the Self and the curriculum in the culturally diverse Early Childhood Education (ECE) post-secondary classroom. I seek to understand more fully the “zone of between” (Aoki, 2005) ―a metaphoric inner landscape―which serves to situate students and educators ontologically through the process of interpretation and meaning-making. In dialogue with a group of immigrant educators, I studied this pedagogical relationship within the context of a western ECE curriculum. The research is shaped by a set of critical questions around curriculum, social justice, the voices of power and the marginal in the culturally diverse adult classroom: How does culture and one’s life experiences impact immigrants’ knowing and understanding of a post-secondary ECE curriculum? How are cultural differences in child-rearing and early learning acknowledged in early childhood education and curriculum? How do educators interpret and teach the curriculum to adult immigrant students to ensure meaningful learning? How does learning ultimately translate into practice when immigrant educators teach and care for children in Canadian ECE settings? Utilizing an interpretive narrative approach that includes listening to, recording and layering the participants’ autobiographical accounts, I noted their responses to questions relevant to school, culture and the curriculum. Shaun Tan’s (2006) graphic novel, The Arrival, was the catalyst provoking our thinking and imaginations, and providing a visual lens through which to view and interpret ideas about identity and the immigrant experience. Listening to the participants’ stories, I heard their cultural perspectives about what exists in the space-in-between Self and Other, acknowledging the hermeneutic interlacing of their past and present experiences in forming “a unified flow of experience” (Gadamer, 2004a, p. 237). I examined how immigrants juxtapose what they know about child care and early learning from their culture(s) with relative pedagogical practices they observe in ECE settings. I explain how curriculum and culture are placed in terms of diversity and difference. This work raises awareness about the importance of relationality and issues of identity and offers different understandings about how immigrant educators and students can live and learn together in an always complex world.

description: We apply the factorization technique developed by Kuru et. al. [Ann. Phys. {\bf 323} (2008) 413] to obtain the exact analytical classical trajectories and momenta of the continuum states of the non Hermitian but ${\cal{PT}}$ symmetric Scarf II potential. In particular, we observe that the strange behaviour of the quantum version at the spectral singularity has an interesting classical analogue.

description: El artículo incluye una serie de recomendaciones de cara a la prevención de la obesidad. Para los niños, se recomienda el aumento del consumo de frutas, hortalizas, legumbres, cereales integrales y frutos secos; la reducción de la ingesta total de grasas y la sustitución de las saturadas por las instauradas; aminorar la ingesta de azúcares; mantener la actividad física -un mínimo de 60 minutos diarios- y hasta los 10 años, dormir 10 horas diarias. Respecto a los padres, se aconseja realizar las principales comidas,al menos una, con sus hijos; comer todos lo mismo, que los niños vean como sus padres se sirven la comida y comen de todo sin dejar nada en el plato; dar al desayuno el valor que tiene: la comida más importante del día; evitar premiar utilizando para ello unos u otros productos alimenticios, no comer viendo la televisión, promover juegos familiares que requieran actividad física así como fomentar hábitos deportivos que disminuyan el tiempo de ocio sedentario –videoconsolas, ordenadores, móviles- que además de influir en el sobrepeso alteran el sueño infantil. La mejor estrategia para reducir la incidencia global de la obesidad es la prevención en las edades tempranas de la vida, antes incluso del nacimiento.

Narrative case study : unheard life story of a senior gay Korean man
Creators: name: Kim, Shin-Young
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2011

description: Research exploring the experiences of senior gay Asian men who grew up in Asian culture has not been conducted yet even though they are supposed to have unique needs and challenges different from those in Western culture. The present study examines how one older gay Korean man constructed his life through Korea’s historical events and rapid social and cultural changes. In order to understand the unheard life story, in-depth interviews with one senior gay Korean man living in Seoul, South Korea were conducted and the narrative was interpreted and analyzed by a holistic-content approach. The findings of this study reflect on the man’s unique way, acquired through his life experiences, of balancing a homosexual life and a heterosexual life, especially between his personal desire and family responsibility. In the two disparate worlds, the gentleman pursued true love and adapted himself to changing of patriarchal values as well as aging instead of insisting on the time-honoured cultural heritage. The senior man faced challenges and changes in his later life with a positive attitude and wisdom he acquired through experiences in his early life. The findings derived from this study reinforce the social constructionist perspective that sexual identity is fluid, and prove that the notion of binary opposition from the white model is not well applicable to the notion of fluidity of sexuality in Asian culture. The understanding from this study suggests developing online services guaranteeing confidentiality for senior gay Korean men and approaching the minority group’s challenges on family level rather than individual level. These suggestions can be applied to senior gay men who grew up under Confucianism and patriarchism.

description: We study an open quantum system of atoms with long-range Rydberg interaction, laser driving, and spontaneous emission. Over time, the system occasionally jumps between a state of low Rydberg population and a state of high Rydberg population. The jumps are inherently collective and in fact exist only for a large number of atoms. We explain how entanglement and quantum measurement enable the jumps, which are otherwise classically forbidden.

description: The post-modern city has been described by some theorists as disorienting, cold and alienating. The end of the 19th century brought expansion in the world economy and mass emigration from country to city at an unprecedented rate. These advancements along with progress in modernism, science and technology combined have produced a confusing environment for urban inhabitants and led to a retreat from the public realm. Many theorists argue that receding to the private sphere works in opposition to the objective of vibrant cities and in doing so forges the streets and public spaces into threatening places that people are reluctant to occupy. In looking to the theory and precedents posed, including the Situationist concepts of the Dérive and Psychogeographic exploration, is there a design intervention that can foster the simple idea of lingering? How can we allow then for chance, happenstance and the degree of randomness in the city while promoting creative personal expression and individual contributions to the public realm?
