Panel: "Textual Transactions in the Global Hispanophone". As the nexus of seemingly highly disparate groups, Global Hispanophone studies explore the paradox of a separation that unifies. This paradox is reflected in texts that navigate between languages, countries, interior frontiers or colonial pasts, thus functioning as loci for transactions that offer the possibility of transformation. Participants might analyze textual transactions (intersections, executions, receptions, performances) that arise from or represent separations due to violence or to political, economic, cultural, or other factors.

description: Apart from a strong association with childhood-onset asthma, orosomucoid 1-like protein 3 (ORMDL3), an endoplasmic reticulum (ER)-localized transmembrane protein, is also linked with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), in which cigarette smoke (CS) is the crucial risk factor. Compared to healthy subjects, COPD patients had elevated ORMDL3 mRNA in well-differentiated primary human bronchial epithelial cells (HBECs). However, its role in COPD remains understudied. We therefore hypothesize that ORMDL3 may play an essential role in CS-induced chronic mucus hypersecretion and inflammation via activation of specific unfolded protein response (UPR) pathways under ER stress in primary HBECs. Gene silencing using siRNA for ORMDL3 was performed in submerged culture of primary HBECs before 24-hour cigarette smoke medium (CSM) exposure. The mucin, inflammatory and mitochondrial markers, and the activation of the UPR pathways were evaluated. CSM triggered significant induction of ORMDL3 expression at both mRNA and protein level, which was significantly inhibited by silencing ORMDL3. In addition, ORMDL3 knockdown inhibited CSM-induced mucin MUC5AC mRNA and release of inflammatory marker interleukin (IL)-8. Silencing ORMDL3 reduced CSM-induced ER stress via inhibiting the activating transcription factor (ATF)6 and the inositol-requiring enzyme (IRE)1 of the UPR pathways. The involvement of ORMDL3 was demonstrated in mitochondrial dynamics via fusion protein Mfn2 and mitochondrial respiration after CSM stimulation. In conclusion, ORMDL3 is an inducible gene in mediating CS-induced activation of specific ATF6 and IRE1 pathways to regulate mucus hypersecretion and inflammation. Therefore, ORMDL3 may be a promising therapeutic target to treat smoking-associated mucus hypersecretion and inflammation in COPD.

description: The primary goal for clinical healthcare professionals is to enhance the quality of life (QOL) of patients with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS). This study aimed to explore the correlation between social support, coping style, advance care planning (ACP) readiness, and QOL in patients with ALS. We also sought to analyze the mediating effect of coping style and ACP readiness between social support and QOL, and to provide insights for developing targeted interventions to improve patients’ QOL. A cross-sectional design was used, with participants recruited through convenience sampling in Tianjin, China. Statistical analysis included the t-test, analysis of variance, correlation analysis, and mediating effect analysis. The study included 215 participants. The QOL of patients with ALS was at a medium level, with significant correlations between social support, coping style, ACP readiness, and QOL (all p < 0.01). The direct effect of social support on QOL was 0.403 (p = 0.018), accounting for 41.85% of the total effect. The total indirect effect of social support on QOL through coping style and ACP readiness was 0.560 (p < 0.001), accounting for 58.15% of the total effect. The chain mediating effect involving facing, avoiding, and ACP readiness accounted for 16.72%. Social support directly influenced QOL and had an indirect impact through coping style and ACP readiness. Healthcare professionals can improve the QOL of patients with ALS by enhancing social support, disease-coping ability, and ACP readiness in clinical practice.

Al mismo tiempo, se muestran las dinámicas de disputa política que giran en torno a los llamados “recursos naturales”, los territorios del país y sus pobladores, tratando de evidenciar tanto las lógicas disciplinarias del Estado, como las diversas resistencias sociales al avance extractivista.

Abstract

This paper aims to show the features of extractive policy in the Bolivarian Revolution, making clear how, from 2004, a repowered extractivism is being reconfi-gured, based on the idea of taking Venezuela to be a “World Energy Power” providing the exploitation of the Orinoco Oil Belt. At the same time, the paper presents the dynamics of political dispute taking place around the so-called “natural resources”, the territories of the country and their inhabitants, in order to show both the disciplinary logic of the state, and the different social resistances against the advance of extractivism.

Es importante analizar el origen de este modelo de pensamiento, debido a la continuidad de sus postu-lados, hasta el descubrimiento de los primeros gérmenes causantes de las enfermedades infecciosas, durante la segunda mitad del siglo XIX. Al mismo tiempo, es una oportunidad para comprender el comportamiento y las acciones, en torno a la percepción del origen de las enfermedades en ese entonces.

Abstract
This article is about the study of the environmental paradigm by descriptions of travel literature, orders of authorities in the Council of Campeche, for purifying the air, as well as prevention of the epidemics illness between 1820 and 1855. It’s important emphasize the start of this ideas and their continuity until the second half of the nineteenth century, when the germs that produced infectious desease were discovered. At the same time, it represents an explanation for understanding the behavior and efforts with respect to perception and ethiology of sickness.

description: En 1864, Lucio V. Mansilla y José Manuel Estrada fundaron en Buenos Aires, Argentina, el Círculo Literario, cuya vida se extendió hasta 1866. Esta asociación cultural compartió las mismas inquietudes que otras agrupaciones de su tiempo que movilizaron a los hombres que comenzaban a ganar un espacio en la vida letrada porteña. El Círculo Literario se vio asimismo como una asociación que podía convocar a hombres de la polí-tica y la cultura de distintas facciones y diversas generaciones, y a tono con otras asocia-ciones de la época, intentó generar espacios inexistentes en el universo letrado. En este artículo se estudian las dinámicas de esta asociación intelectual en un momento en el que la cultura argentina era pensada como un terreno abierto para que diferentes pioneros dedi-cados a los trabajos intelectuales pudieran ocupar lugares y aprovechar oportunidades. El artículo evalúa el alcance y los límites de este emprendimiento cultural surgido al margen de las políticas estatales.

Abstract
In 1864, Lucio V. Mansilla y José Manuel Estrada created the Círculo Literario in Buenos Aires, Argentina, which endured until 1866. This cultural association shared the same concerns than other contemporary entities, also enacted by other men in the cultural life of Buenos Aires at that time. The Círculo Literario aspired to be an association that could gather politicians and men of culture, from different generations and political factions. The article examines the practices and initiatives of this cultural association, in a moment in which the Argentine culture was conceived as an open field for pioneers. The article evaluates the scope and the limits of this cultural entrepreneurship born outside from the State politics.

description: The aerospace sector is one of the many sectors in which large amounts of data are generated. Thanks to the evolution of technology, these data can be exploited in several ways to improve the operation and management of industrial processes. However, to achieve this goal, it is necessary to define architectures and data models that allow to manage and homogenise the heterogeneous data collected. In this paper, we present an Airport Digital Twin Reference Conceptualisation's and data model based on FIWARE Generic Enablers and the Next Generation Service Interfaces-Linked Data standard. Concretely, we particularise the Airport Digital Twin to improve the efficiency of flight turnaround events. The architecture proposed is validated in the Aberdeen International Airport with the aim of reducing delays in commercial flights. The implementation includes an application that shows the real state of the airport, combining two-dimensional and three-dimensional virtual reality representations of the stands, and a mobile application that helps ground operators to schedule departure and arrival flights.

description: Este trabajo reconstruye la historia del “escudo peronista” que desde 1946 identifica a los partidarios de ese movimiento. Los cambios en sus usos y los desplaza-mientos de sentido que experimentó a través del tiempo ejemplifican las interdependen-cias entre las nociones de ciudadanía y de clase que marcaron el fenómeno peronista y sus ambivalencias respecto del lugar del antagonismo social. Al mismo tiempo, también iluminan ciertas inflexiones “raciales” que se manifestaron en el período en cuestión que, por su carácter más bien implícito, no han merecido aún suficiente atención. Este trabajo documenta, por primera vez, la producción y circulación de una variante peculiar del escudo, diferente de la oficial, en la que se muestran tonalidades de la piel diferentes y ofrece elementos para el análisis de su significado.

Abstract

This article traces the history of the “Peronist Coat of Arms”, an identity emblem of that movement since 1946. The changes in its uses and shifts of meaning over time are analyzed as examples of the interdependencies of categories of citizenship and class and the ambivalence regarding social antagonism typical of the peronist phenomenon. At the same time, they also illuminate certain racial inflections that appeared at that time which, due to their rather implicit character, have not received enough scholarly attention. This article documents and analyses for the first time the production and circulation of a pecu-liar variant of the Coat of Arms in which, unlike the official one, different skin colors are displayed.

description: This study aimed to assess the prognostic value of the Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis Functional Rating Scale-Revised (ALSFRS-R) in predicting mortality and characterizing disease progression patterns in ALS patients in Colombia. We conducted a retrospective longitudinal analysis of 537 ALS patients from the Roosevelt Institute Rehabilitation Service between October 2008 and October 2022. The study excluded nine patients due to incomplete data, resulting in 528 individuals in the analysis. ALS diagnoses were confirmed using the revised El Escorial and Gold Coast criteria. Disease progression was assessed using the ALSFRS-R, and mortality data were sourced from follow-up calls and a national database. Statistical analysis included Cox proportional hazards models to identify mortality predictors and Growth Mixture Modeling (GMM) to explore ALS progression trajectories. The majority of the cohort (63.8%) deceased within the 84-month follow-up period. Survival analysis revealed that each point increase in the ALSFRS-R rate was associated with a 2.22-fold (95% CI =1.99–2.48, p < 0.001) increased risk of mortality. In the population with data from two clinical visits, the ALSFRS-R rate based on initial assessments predicted mortality more effectively over 36 months than the rate based on two evaluations. GMM identified three distinct progression trajectories: slow, intermediate, and rapid decliners. The ALSFRS-R rate, derived from self-reported symptom onset, significantly predicts mortality, underscoring its value in clinical assessments. This study highlights the heterogeneity in disease progression among Colombian ALS patients, indicating the necessity for personalized treatment approaches based on individual progression trajectories. Further studies are needed to refine these predictive models and improve patient management and outcomes.

description: Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is a progressive and fatal disease characterized by neuronal degeneration of the spinal cord and brain and believed to be related to the immune system. In this study, our aim is to use Mendelian randomization (MR) to search for immune markers related to ALS. A total of 731 immune cell traits were included in this study. MR analysis was used to identify the causality between 731 immune cell traits (with 3,757 Europeans) and ALS (with 138,086 Europeans). Colocalization analysis was used to verify the found causality, protein–protein interaction prediction was used to look for the interacting proteins that are known to be involved in ALS. We found low expression levels of CD3 on central memory CD8+ T cell is risk factor for ALS (OR = 0.90, 95% CI: 0.86–0.95, P = 0.0000303). CD3 can interact with three ALS-related proteins: VCP, HLA-DRA and HLA-DRB5, which are associated with adaptive immune response. Our study reported for the first time that low-level CD3 is a risk factor for ALS and the possible mechanism, which could provide a potential strategy for ALS diagnosis and therapy.

description: El presente trabajo analiza los hitos históricos más relevantes del proceso evolutivo del sindicalismo venezolano. Se discutirá la etapa de deterioro del movimiento sindical, en el que esta organización se vio arrastrada por la inercia de una crisis política, económica y social de grandes magnitudes, evidenciada durante su más reciente período a través del autodenominado “socialismo del siglo XXI”. Se mostrarán los signos y claves sociohistóricos que condujeron al sindicalismo venezolano hasta el presente, pero que a su vez le proyectarán hacia el futuro. La premisa consiste en que la organización sindical es parte subsidiaria fundamental de la institucionalidad necesaria para la revitalización del sistema democrático venezolano. Finalmente se reflexionará sobre propuestas y plantea-mientos de reconstrucción de la institucionalidad sindical y democrática.

Abstract

 The article analyses the crucial historical landmarks of the evolution of Trade Unionism in Venezuela. The downturn of the Trade Union movement driven by the inertia of a political, economic and social crisis of great scope, is examined as evidenced during the most recent period of the self-proclaimed ‘Socialism of the 21st Century’. This contri-bution discusses the socio-historical facts and key aspects, which led Venezuelan Trade Unionism until present times, but which at the same time will shape its future. The premise consists in that labor organization is a vital and subsidiary part of the institutional setting required for the revitalization of the Venezuelan democratic system. Finally, additional reflections will be given to developing different proposals and approaches for the recons-truction of the trade union institutional framework and democratic system.

Abstract
title: Examining Gender Differences and Relationships Among Facebook Usage, Personal Identity, Social Identity, Personal-Emotional Adjustment, and Social Adjustment in College Freshmen
Creators: name: Hall, Elizabeth M
Publisher: name: George Mason University

Subjects: subject: Facebook usage
subject: Social adjustment
subject: Personal-emotional adjustment
subject: Personal identity
subject: Social identity

description: There is conflicting evidence as to whether or not Facebook relates to characteristics associated with a positive well-being, particularly when considering gender. The purpose of this thesis was to explore the relationships among Facebook usage, personal identity, social identity, personal-emotional adjustment, and social adjustment. Additionally, this study aimed to explore whether or not the relationships among these variables differed by gender. A total of 174 freshmen students from 98 different universities participated in an online survey including a scale for Facebook usage, personal identity, personal-emotional adjustment and social adjustment. Some of the most notable significant findings include a positive relationship between Facebook usage and personal identity social identity, and social adjustment, in the overall sample. These significant relationships present in the overall findings were also observed in the male sample, whereas social identity, was the only variable that positively correlated with Facebook usage in the female sample. Because this study does not establish that Facebook causes a greater sense of personal identity, social identity and social adjustment, ideas for future research involving moderating factors such as personality were explored. Additionally, the relationship between social identity and social adjustment was discussed in the context of Erikson’s theory whereas the need for future research regarding other relationships among the identity and adjustment variables were explored. Overall, this study provides a basis for research supporting college students using Facebook while paving a foundation for future studies in the field.

description: We investigated the relationship between occupational lead exposure and amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) survival in Denmark. We identified 2,161 ALS cases diagnosed from 1982 to 2013 with at least 5 years of employment history before ALS diagnosis, via the Danish National Patient Registry. Cases were followed until March 2017. We defined lead exposure as never employed in a lead job, ever employed in a lead job, and ever employed in a lead job by exposure probability (<50% vs. ≥50%), excluding jobs held in the 5 years before diagnosis in main analyses. Survival was evaluated using Cox proportional hazards models and stratified by sex and age of diagnosis. Median age of diagnosis was 63.5 years, and individuals in lead-exposed jobs were diagnosed at a younger age. Adjusted hazard ratios (aHR) were slightly decreased for men ever lead-exposed (aHR:0.92, 95%CI: 0.80, 1.05) and more so among those diagnosed at age 60–69 (lead ≥ 50% aHR: 0.66, 95%CI: 0.45, 0.98), but reversed for men diagnosed at age 70 and later (aHR: 2.03, 95%CI: 1.13, 3.64). No apparent pattern was observed among women. Occupational lead exposure contributed to shorter survival among men diagnosed at older ages. The inverse associations observed for men diagnosed earlier could relate to possible healthy worker hire effect or health advantages of working in lead-exposed jobs. Our results are consistent with an adverse impact of lead exposure on ALS survival at older ages, with the age at which lead’s effects on survival worsen later on among those in lead-exposed jobs.
title: Bullet Hole Characteristics, Limiting Factors, and Reconstructing Shooter Location within a Crime Scene

Subjects: subject: Shooting Trajectory
subject: Crime scene forensics

description: This research was conducted to better define the most probable shooter location when conducting shooting scene reconstruction. Additionally, this paper set out to identify key factors needed to conduct this placement, as well as, establish predictive modeling techniques, to better assist crime scene examiners.
description: Shooting scene reconstruction and the identification of where the shooter and weapon most likely were located, can be critical pieces of information for law enforcement and crime scene investigators. During an extensive literature review, the gap which appeared was identifying the most likely position of the shooter when accounting for limiting factors, such as room size and furniture. There are several ways to conduct shooting trajectory analysis, with individuals such as Haag, L., and Haag, M. (2011), Hueske (2009), Gardner and Bevel (2009), Gardner and Krouskup (2019), writing at length about the process of determining shooting trajectory and overall crime scene reconstruction. The trajectory analysis for this project was adopted from Gardner and Bevel (2009) and through coordination with the Virginia State Police and included using trajectory rods, angle finders, protractors, and lasers to determine the trajectory of the bullet. Then limiting factors along the path of the bullet, gunshot residue (GSR), and overall room size was accounted for, to identify the most likely position of the shooter. According to Gardner and Bevel (2009) and through coordination with certified crime scene experts, it was determined that shooter positions are broadly assigned to zones one through three. The results expected from this project are to refine zone 1 described as the most probable shooting location, identify the overall accuracy rate of shooting trajectory analysis, and to develop a predictive model statistical analysis to determine the impact of the limiting factors on predicting the shooter’s distance. The conclusion anticipated from this research is when all factors are taken into account, a most likely shooter location could be identified within +- three through five feet.

Abstract
Profit and pleasure: English change ringing and its impact on the soundscape of Cambridge
Creators: name: Davies, Gareth
Publisher: name: Anglia Ruskin Research Online (ARRO)
Year: 2025

description: This thesis challenges the prevailing consensus that change ringing societies in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries were primarily concerned with recreation and sociability. Through detailed analysis of the financial and other records of the leading bellringing company in Cambridge, it demonstrates that the members were equally, if not more, concerned with the pursuit of profit and that the sums they earned could be considerable. The scale of their recreational and social activities was enabled by that income. Tracing the pattern of occasions for which the bells rang from the bellringers’ own accounts reveals that they made a more frequent contribution to the urban soundscape than has previously been appreciated. Commonly used sources of evidence for the use of church bells, such as parish records and newspaper reports, significantly understate both how often they rang and the types of occasion on which they were heard. For much of the period paid ringing overwhelmingly celebrated personal rather than public occasions and a significant proportion of the ringing was initiated by the ringers themselves in the hope of subsequent financial reward. It was entirely associated with secular occasions and never with religious worship. Taking account of the frequency with which the bells rang, the prevalence of speculative ringing, and the often personal nature of events celebrated, it is suggested that much change ringing may have had little direct meaning or significance to those who heard it. Whilst recognising that further studies are needed to confirm whether the profit motive was equally important in other urban locations, it is suggested that evidence of bells ringing should be treated with caution if it is used as an indicator of wider popular sentiment or public engagement. The distorting effect of the ringers’ pursuit of profit may lead to a re-evaluation of previous studies and should be factored into new ones.

description: The therapeutic options for spinal muscular atrophy (SMA) are encouraging. However, there is currently no cure for amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS). The clinical and economic uncertainty surrounding innovative treatments for rare neurodegenerative diseases makes it necessary to understand managed entry agreements (MEAs). The aim of this study was to review whether models of MEAs in SMA could be extrapolated to ALS. We performed a scoping review with information on MEAs on SMA in Web of Science (WOS), PubMed, Lyfegen Library, the National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE), and the Canadian Agency for Drugs and Technologies in Health (CADTH). We found 45 results in WOS and PubMed. After an initial survey, 10 were reviewed to assess eligibility, and three were selected. We obtained 44 results from Lyfegen Library, and three results each from NICE and CADTH. The main objective of MEAs is to reduce uncertainty in the financing of drugs with a high budgetary impact and clinical concerns, as is the case with drugs for SMA and ALS. While the information available on MEAs in SMA is scarce, some conceptual models are publicly available. MEAs for long-term treatments for SMA could be used for the design of MEAs in ALS because of their similarities in economic and clinical uncertainty.

description: This is a case study of applying ecological knowledge to remove a pollutant from surface waters using the transdisciplinary approach. This transdisciplinary scholarship resulted in the ban of plastic microbeads in Colorado, and may have contributed to the Microbead Free Waters Act of 2015. The need to reward Applied Ecology in higher education is also discussed, as this scholarship was counted as service during merit review. The Department Chair was calling for more research, while the authors, stakeholders, manufacturers, Colorado Representatives, Governor Hickenlooper, US House, US Senate, and President Obama called for a ban using existing knowledge.
