description: A acidúria L-2-hidiioxigJutáiica é um raro erro inato do metabolismo, autossómico recessivo e com características neurodegenerativas.

Os autores apresentam o caso clínico de uma criança do sexo feminino, actualmente com nove anos de idade, em quem são notados sinais sugestivos de disfunção cerebelosa (ataxia, dismetria,tremor e discurso lento).

O diagnóstico é estabelecido pela presença de níveis elevados no soro e urina de ácido L-2-hidroxiglutárico, detectado por cromatografia dos ácidos orgânicos com espectrometria de massa. Na ressonância magnética nuclear são visíveis alterações típicas desta patologia e compatíveis com doença degenerativa do sistema nervoso central. A lisina sérica encontra-se também elevada.
Não há tratamento disponível para esta doença. Discute-se o prognóstico.

Na presença de ataxia é importante a distinção entre ataxia aguda ou progressiva contudo, uma ataxia aguda pode ser a apresentação iniciai de um processo crónico e progressivo.

description: The traditional approach to studying student understanding presents a question and uses the student answers to make inferences about their knowledge. However, this method does not capture the range of possible alternative ideas available to students. We use a new approach, asking students to generate a plausible explanation for every choice of a multiple-choice question, to capture a range of explanations that students can generate in answering physics questions. Asking 16 students to provide explanations in this way revealed alternative possibilities for student thinking that would not have been captured if they only provided one solution. The findings show two ways these alternatives can be productive for learning physics: (i) even students who ultimately chose the wrong answer could often generate the correct explanation and (ii) many incorrect explanations contained elements of correct physical reasoning. We discuss the instructional implications of this multiple-choice questioning approach and of student alternative ideas.

description: Os quistos epidermóides são tumores raros, constituindo menos de \% dos tumores intra-espinais. Os tumores epidermóides adquiridos estão habitualmente localizados na coluna lombossagrada e são uma complicação rara e tardia da punção lombar, cujo crescimento lento e as manifestações muitas vezes atípicas exigem um elevado Índice de suspeição para o diagnóstico diferencial.

Os autores descrevem o caso clínico de uma criança de 6 anos de idade, com história prévia de múltiplas punções lombares aos 7 meses de idade, apresentando-se com dor lombar á flexão da coluna e claudicação com cerca de um ano de evolução. A Ressonância Magnética sugeriu o diagnóstico de quisto epidermóide a nível de L3/L4 com compressão da cauda equina. Foi efectuada a exérese total da massa, com evolução clinica favorável.

description: Os hemangiomas são os tumores de partes moles mais frequentes em Pediatria e, apesar da sua natureza benigna, podem causar compromisso funcional ou desfiguração permanente. A ulceração é a sua complicação mais comum, podendo ser extremamente dolorosa e acarretar o risco de infecção, hemorragia e cicatriz. A melhor abordagem terapêutica destas lesões permanece controversa.

Os autores relatam o caso de uma lactente do sexo feminino com 2 meses de idade, que apresentava úlceras profundas envolvendo as regiões glúteas e perianal, sem atingimento da mucosa anor-rectal, com cerca de 25 dias de evolução. Na altura do nascimento, era apenas visível uma mácula vermelha escura nessa região, com cerca de 1 cm de maior diâmetro. Foi instituída terapêutica sistémica com corticóides, pensos hidrocolóides, algaliação e rigorosas medidas de higiene local, com boa resposta clínica, verifícando-se redução gradual do tamanho das úlceras cutâneas, com formação de tecido de granulação. Ao fim de pouco mais de dois meses de tratamento ocorreu cicatrização completa das lesões, com reaparecimento do hemangioma.

description: Durante la investigación se destacaron las luchas históricas para desafiar los conceptos arraigados de “género” y “sexo” impulsadas por movimientos feministas en diferentes partes del mundo, con el objetivo en común de disputar los roles y limitantes habitualmente conceptuados que deben ser asumidos o que se tienen por el hecho de ser hombre o mujer. A pesar de los avances legislativos en Colombia, como la implementación de políticas públicas para promover la igualdad de género, persisten desafíos significativos en la reducción de las brechas de género, como se evidencia en la evaluación de la implementación de la política pública CONPES 161 de 2013 y en los resultados de la última Encuesta Nacional del Uso del Tiempo – ENUT. La investigación exploro como la economía del comportamiento puede abordar estas brechas, identificando nudges específicos dirigidos a reducirlas y en aportar significativamente en la transformación cultural que se requiere para abordar esta problemática. Sin embargo, se reconoce que ninguna solución puede remplazar completamente las acciones globales enmarcadas en políticas públicas nacionales, por lo que, se invita continuar buscando nuevas propuestas para promover la igualdad de género involucrando diversos actores, no solo estatales, y completando las acciones globales con enfoque más específicos y focalizados.
description: During the investigation, the historical struggles to challenge entrenched concepts of "gender" and "sex" driven by feminist movements in different parts of the world were highlighted, with the common goal of contesting the roles and constraints usually associated with being male or female. Despite legislative advances in Colombia, such as the implementation of public policies to promote gender equality, significant challenges persist in reducing gender gaps, as evidenced in the assessment of the implementation of public policy CONPES 161 of 2013 and the results of the latest National Time Use Survey - ENUT. The research explored how behavioral economics can address these gaps, identifying specific nudges aimed at reducing them and significantly contributing to the cultural transformation required to address this issue. However, it is acknowledged that no solution can completely replace the global actions framed in national public policies, so there is an invitation to continue seeking new proposals to promote gender equality involving diverse actors, not only governmental, and complementing global actions with more specific and focused approaches.

description: Historically, non-disabled individuals have viewed disability as a personal deficit requiring change to the disabled individual. However, models have emerged from disability activists and disabled intellectuals that emphasize the role of disabling social structures in preventing or hindering equal access across the ability continuum. We used the social relational proposition, which situates disability within the interaction of impairments and particular social structures, to identify disabling structures in introductory STEM courses. We conducted interviews with nine students who identified with a range of impairments about their experiences in introductory STEM courses. We assembled a diverse research team and analyzed the interviews through phenomenological analysis. Participants reported course barriers that prevented effective engagement with course content. These barriers resulted in challenges with time management as well as feelings of stress and anxiety. We discuss recommendations for supporting students to more effectively engage with introductory STEM courses.

description: Computation holds great potential for introducing new opportunities for creativity and exploration into the physics curriculum. At the University of Oslo we have begun development of a new class of assignment called computational essays to help facilitate creative, open-ended computational physics projects. Computational essays are a type of essay or narrative that combine text and code to express an idea or make an argument, usually written in computational notebooks. During a pilot implementation of computational essays in an introductory electricity and magnetism course, students reported that computational essays facilitated creative investigation at a variety of levels within their physics course. They also reported finding this creativity as being both challenging and motivating. Based on these reflections, we argue that computational essays are a useful tool for leveraging the creative affordances of programming in physics education.

description: Die vorliegende Masterarbeit gibt einen Überblick über den Einfluss der Translation auf die internationale Nachrichtenübermittlung. Dabei wurde untersucht, welche Prozesse eine Nachricht aus Kolumbien durchwandert, bis sie in den österreichischen Zeitungen landet. Hierbei spielen vor allem Nachrichtenagenturen und Auslandskorrespondent/innen eine große Rolle. Mit Hilfe der Kritischen Diskursanalyse nach Jäger (2012) und des funktionalen Modells nach Ammann (1990) konnte festgestellt werden, dass die österreichischen Zeitungen die Nachrichten ungeprüft von den Nachrichtenagenturen übernehmen, die hierbei die Übersetzungsarbeit leisten. Über diese indirekten Quellenbezüge ist es zu Übersetzungsfehlern, Auslassungen und Hinzufügungen gekommen. Die Analyse bestätigt, dass die Nachrichtenübersetzung von Akkulturationsstrategien geprägt ist. Es kann daher schlussgefolgert werden, dass eine translatorische Ausbildung für Journalist/innen unumgänglich ist.
description: The master’s thesis at hand gives an overview of the translation’s influence on the transmission of international news. The attempt was to highlight which processes a news message from Colombia has to go through in order to be published in Austrian newspapers. News agencies and foreign correspondents play an important role here. It was ascertained by means of the critical discourse analysis (Jäger, 2012) and the functional model (Ammann, 1990) that Austrian newspapers copy the news from news agencies – who assume the translation process – without verifying them. Due to this indirect approach to sources, translation errors, omissions and additions were found. This analysis proves that news translations are characterised by strategies of acculturation. It can be concluded that a translation education is a necessity for journalists.

description: Complete Concordances have heretofore been made of all the Major English Poets except Byron. That the proper interpretation of English Poetry may be secured, an assemblage of the Proper Names in Byron's Poetry, so rich in allusions to Historical and Geographical Names, is highly needed. Many of the proper Names represent the recovery of Oriental customs and literatures which were then unknown to the English speaking people. Some names, which may not be considered as Proper Names, have been included because of their interest in connection with Spanish, Italian, Turkish, Grecian and Persian names. It is planned to later assemble all such names in a separate concordance as an Appendix.

description: Thermal physics is a core course requirement for most physics degrees and encompasses both thermodynamics and statistical mechanics content. However, the primary content foci of thermal physics courses vary across universities. This variation can make creation of materials or assessment tools for thermal physics difficult. To determine the scope and content variability of thermal physics courses across institutions, we distributed a survey to over 140 institutions to determine content priorities from faculty and instructors who have taught upper-division thermodynamics and/or statistical mechanics. We present results from the survey, which highlight key similarities and differences in thermal physics content coverage across institutions. Though we see variations in content coverage, we found 9 key topical areas covered by all respondents in their upper-division thermal physics courses. We discuss implications of these findings for the development of instructional tools and assessments that are useful to the widest range of institutions and physics instructors.

description: We present a table-top beamline providing a soft X-ray supercontinuum extending up to 350 eV from high-order harmonic generation with sub-13 fs 1300 nm driving pulses and simultaneous production of sub-5 fs pulses centered at 800 nm. Optimization of the high harmonic generation in a long and dense gas medium yields a photon flux of ~2 x 10^7 photons/s/1% bandwidth at 300 eV. The temporal resolution of X-ray transient absorption experiments with this beamline is measured to be 11 fs for 800 nm excitation. This dual-wavelength approach, combined with high flux and high spectral and temporal resolution soft X-ray absorption spectroscopy, is a new route to the study of ultrafast electronic dynamics in carbon-containing molecules and materials at the carbon K-edge.
Single-cell Molecular Analysis: When an Experimental Technique Generates Conceptual Controversies

Publisher: name: Organisms
Year: 2023

description: The last decade has witnessed a rapid evolution of highly sensitive single-cell molecular analysis techniques. These techniques allow the simultaneous detection and quantification of mRNA and protein molecules in a large number of individual cells. Some of these methods are already commercialized, making them readily available to any interested lab. While the pitfalls concerning the experimental extraction of biocomponents (mRNA and protein) and analytical bioinformatic methods are widely discussed in the literature, little is known regarding the conceptual difficulties raised by single-cell methodologies. Considered and treated as pure technical difficulties, these issues are rarely discussed explicitly. This is a problem as conceptual difficulties precede technical ones and contribute, to a large extent, to the failure of techniques. Consequently, a new theoretical framework is urgently needed to make sense of the ever-increasing amount of data.

description: Historically, the implementation of research-based assessments (RBAs) has been a driver of education change within physics and helped motivate adoption of interactive engagement pedagogies. Until recently, RBAs were given to students exclusively on paper and in-class; however, this approach has important drawbacks including decentralized data collection and the need to sacrifice class time. Recently, some RBAs have been moved to online platforms to address these limitations. Yet, online RBAs present new concerns such as student participation rates, test security, and students' use of outside resources. Here, we report on a pilot study addressing these concerns. We gave two upper-division RBAs to courses at five institutions; the RBAs were hosted online and featured embedded JavaScript code which collected information on students' behaviors (e.g., copying text, printing). With these data, we examine the prevalence of these behaviors, and their correlation with students' scores, to determine if online and paper-based RBAs are comparable. We find that browser loss of focus is the most common online behavior while copying and printing events were rarer.We found no statistically significant correlation between any of these online behaviors and students scores. We also found that participation rates for our upper-division population went up when the RBA was given online. These results indicates that, for our upper-division population, scores on online administrations of these RBAs were comparable to in-class versions.

description: The professionalization of transitional justice (TJ) has received extensive academic attention in TJ and related international relations and peacebuilding scholarship. This article adds an element that has received hardly any attention: namely the presence of activism even among professional and usually donor-funded TJ work. I argue that noticing activism in professional contexts requires attention to the 'everyday', meaning to life in between, aside and beyond high politics and officially important actors, actions, processes and events. Based on field research in Sierra Leone and Kenya, I describe and discuss everyday examples of a specific form of activism, namely tacit activism that I encountered with three key interlocutors, one Sierra Leonean and two Kenyan nationals involved in professional donor-funded TJ work. Their activism was 'tacit' in the sense that it was not part of their official project activities and my interlocutors did not advertise their extra plans and efforts to (prospective) donors. And yet, it was precisely through these tacit plans and efforts that they hoped to meet at least some of the expectations that had been raised in the context of professional TJ projects.

description: In der vorliegenden Arbeit wird die klischeehafte und stereotype Darstellung von DolmetscherInnen im Film analysiert. Die Arbeit beginnt mit der Auseinandersetzung mit für den Themenkomplex grundlegenden Begriffsdefinitionen. Anschließend wird untersucht, welche Stereotypen und Klischees filmisch reproduziert werden können. Dann folgt ein Überblick über die Darstellung von DolmetscherInnen in der Fiktion dem im folgenden Kapitel das Image von DolmetscherInnen in der Gesellschaft gegenübergestellt wird. Ein weiterer Punkt ist die Auseinandersetzung mit dem sogenannten fictional turn in der Translationswissenschaft, der die Bedeutung der Darstellung von TranslatorInnen in der populären Kultur und insbesondere im Film erkennt. Im analytischen Teil versucht die Arbeit das Thema, mit Hilfe der Analyse dreier Spielfilme und eines Dokumentarfilms, zu beleuchten. Ausgewählt wurden nur zeitgenössische Filme und original Drehbuchfilme. Jeder Film wurde unter Gesichtspunkten der Filmwissenschaft sowie gleichzeitig der Translationswissenschaft analysiert. Dieser interdisziplinäre Ansatz brachte Erkenntnisse über das Potential des Mediums Film in der Darstellung von DolmetscherInnen. Besonders die unterschiedliche Anwendung der Stereotypen in den verschiedenen Genres wird aufgezeigt. In der abschließenden Diskussion werden diese, sowie weitere Beobachtungen hervorgehoben.
description: This thesis aims to analyze the cliché and stereotypical way interpreters are portrayed on film. It begins with the definition of the most important concepts that concern this subject. It then proceeds with the discussion about which stereotypes and clichés are often used in film. The following chapter is an overview of the representation of interpreters in fictional works, followed by a chapter on the image of interpreters in society. Another topic is the so called “fictional turn” in translation studies, which acknowledges the importance of the representations of translators and interpreters in popular culture and in film. Then the paper proceeds with the analysis of three feature films and one documentary film regarding this topic. The films chosen for this section had to be contemporary productions and had to have an original screenplay. Both film theoretical and translation studies related approaches were taken into consideration in the analysis of the films. The results of this interdisciplinary method showed the potential of the medium film concerning the representation possibilities of interpreters, specially concerning the multifaceted use of stereotypes in different film genres. In the final chapter, the results of the analysis are discussed to highlight specific relevant topics.

description: Since its first use by Behrend, Bryan, and Szendrői in the computation of motivic Donaldson-Thomas (DT) invariants of $\mathbb{A}_{\mathbb{C}}^3$, dimensional reduction has proved to be an important tool in motivic and cohomological DT theory. Inspired by a conjecture of Cazzaniga, Morrison, Pym, and Szendrői on motivic DT invariants, work of Dobrovolska, Ginzburg, and Travkin on exponential sums, and work of Orlov and Hirano on equivalences of categories of singularities, we generalize the dimensional reduction theorem in motivic and cohomological DT theory and use it to prove versions of the Cazzaniga-Morrison-Pym-Szendrői conjecture in these settings.

The Role of the Church in International Peacebuilding : Lessons from the US-Central America Solidarity Movement
Creators: name: Nepstad, Sharon Erickson
Publisher: name: American University
Year: 2023

description: Oppressed groups struggling for peace, justice and economic reform are increasingly appealing to the international community for support and assistance. Yet these groups face numerous challenges as they try to capture the attention and commitment of potentially sympathetic audiences. Given the success of the United States-Central America peace movement of the 1980s, this article focuses on the methods used by solidarity organisers to persuade members of US faith communities to participate in various transnational citizen peacemaking campaigns. These initiatives were designed to end the region’s civil wars and to promote opportunities for the poor of Central America to reconstruct their socioeconomic and political systems without foreign interference. Based on archival research and in-depth interviews with solidarity activists and organisers, this article examines how the church – as an established, respected transnational institution – played a critical part in this movement. Additional attention is given to the role of missionaries, who served as a link between faith communities in the United States and Nicaragua, El Salvador and Guatemala. The article concludes with several lessons that international peace and justice movements can learn from the successes and failures of this case.

description: Die vorliegende Diplomarbeit beschäftigt sich mit der Eingliederung der deutschen Minderheiten aus Ost- und Südosteuropa, den sogenannten Volksdeutschen, in Vorarlberg nach dem Zweiten Weltkrieg. Damit dieses Thema näher betrachtet werden kann, wird in der Arbeit zunächst kurz auf die Vorgeschichte der „Volksdeutschen“ eingegangen und die Gründe der Flucht und Vertreibung werden dargestellt. Die Ansiedlung der „Volksdeutschen“ in den Gebieten in Ost- und Südosteuropa ging oftmals Jahrhunderte zurück, doch aufgrund der nationalsozialistischen Rasse- und Umsiedlungspolitik wurden diese Siedlungsgebiete zerstört, die Bewohnerinnen und Bewohner entweder umgesiedelt, vertrieben und/oder zur Flucht gezwungen. Anschließend wird ihre Situation in Österreich am Ende des Zweiten Weltkrieges und danach beleuchtet. Hierbei werden verschiedene Hilfsorganisationen, die rechtliche Stellung der „Volksdeutschen“, der Erhalt der Staatsbürgerschaft und ihre Unterbringung im neugegründeten Staat thematisiert. Der Hauptteil bildet die Eingliederung der deutschen Minderheiten aus Ost- und Südosteuropa in Vorarlberg. In der Nachkriegszeit befanden sich zwischen 1.600 und 2.100 „Volksdeutsche“ in Vorarlberg, was, im Vergleich zum Gesamtdurchschnitt in Österreich, eine geringe Anzahl darstellt. Hierbei werden die Einbürgerungen, die Unterbringung, die Reaktionen seitens der autochthonen Bevölkerung sowie die Selbstorganisierung der Zuwanderinnen und Zuwanderer in Landsmannschaften und Vereinen näher beleuchtet. Da ausschließlich mit messbaren Quellen aus dem Vorarlberger Landesarchiv und dem Stadtarchiv Dornbirn gearbeitet sowie bereits vorhandene Literatur herangezogen wurde, konnten die individuellen (Akkulturations-) Geschichten jener „Volksdeutschen“, die nach Vorarlberg gekommen sind, nicht berücksichtigt werden.
State capitalism and capital markets: Comparing securities exchanges in emerging markets

description: Finance plays a major role in discussions about state capitalism in emerging markets, but the focus has so far been on banks. Capital markets have been neglected. Moreover, findings from the growing literature on financialization in emerging markets indicate that in some cases there is increasing state involvement in the development and functioning of capital markets. Hence, the relationship between the state and finance in these economies may be fundamentally different from the picture provided by liberal Western-centric perspectives. Instead of looking at capital markets as uniform entities, we propose to analyse them as variegated – while characterized by common financialization processes, they can be informed by different institutional logics, leading to very different market dynamics and outcomes. We explore to what extent these differences exist and how state-capitalist economies facilitate capital market development. Our comparative institutional analysis of securities exchanges as central parts of capital markets in six increasingly financialized emerging market economies – Brazil, China, India, Russia, South Africa and South Korea – focuses on the degree to which capital markets are integrated into state-capitalist institutions. Instead of mere platforms on which market transactions take place, we analyse exchanges as powerful actors which actively shape capital markets. While in most advanced economies exchanges are situated within an institutional setting informed by neoliberal institutional logic, we demonstrate that exchanges in emerging markets often organize capital markets to facilitate state objectives.
