Survey of dogs in Salt Lake City for intestinal helminths
Creators: name: Butler, J. Miles
Publisher: name: University of Utah
Year: 2012

description: During 1948 and 1949, a random sampling of 200 nondescript dogs from Salt Lake City were surveyed for intestinal helminthes.  As far as could be determined from the literature, inquires of local veterinarians and officials of the Salt Lake City Board of Health, no such survey had heretofore been attempted in this area.  A system of collecting was devised which prevented a repeat sampling and made possible the treatment with vermifuge, or  autopsy, of the proper dog when necessary.  Great care was given to the choice of laboratory methods and the most efficient technics were used.  All specimens were examined by the following three laboratory technics to insure the greatest accuracy possible.  1.  Direct thin smear.  2.  Willis-Malloy sodium chloride levitation concentration technic.  3.  Centrifuge concentration technic with the author's modifications.  The results of the survey were based on the findings of the three preceding laboratory technics with the exception of the diagnosis of one species, that of Taenia pisiformis.  This species was diagnosed once from the proglottid recovered in a stool and once by the adult worm recovered from the autopsy of a dog.  The most significant result of this survey of 200 dogs in the Salt Lake City area was the finding of 44 dogs or 22 per cent infected with intestinal helminthes.  Of the total 200 dogs examined:  156 or 78.0% were negative, 22 or 11.0% infected with hookworm, 9 or 4.5% infected with Toxocara canis, 7 or 3.5% infected with Toxascaris leonina, 2 or 1.0% infected with Trichuris vulpis, 1 or 0.5% infected with Dipylidium caninum, 2 or 1.0% infected with Taena pisiformis , and 1 or  0.5% infected with Taenia sp.  The parasite, Echinococcus granulosus, was not found  in this survey even though special attention had been directed to its recovery.  The total percentage of intestinal helminth infection in this survey was less than that for the majority of other studies that have been reported.  The explanation of this fact can be explained to a large extent from the random selection of dogs upon which the survey was made.  Most of the other reported studies were conducted on dogs which were often thought to have a pathological condition and were examined at a veterinary hospital.  A discussion of the data from similar studies in other areas was presented for the comparison of the data in this survey.  Since no suitable key to the ova of the important intestinal helminthes of dogs was found in the literature using egg characteristics, an attempt was made to construct such a key.
Search for CP violation in ttH and tH production in multilepton channels with CMS
Creators: name: Alvarez, Clara Ramon
Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2022

description: A measurement of the CP structure of the Yukawa interaction between the Higgs boson (H) and top quarks in event samples enriched in association of a H with one (tH) or two (tt H) top quarks, is presented. The measurement is based on data collected in proton-proton collisions at √s = 13 TeV by the CMS experiment at the CERN LHC, corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 137 fb−1. The analysis targets events where the H decays via H →WW or H → ττ and the top quark(s) decay either leptonically or hadronically. Separation of CP-even from CP-odd scenarios is achieved by applying machine learning techniques to final states characterized by the presence of at least two leptons.
Religious orientation and child abuse potential : underlying cognitive processes of religiosity

description: Despite religion being implicated in perpetuating child abuse, little research exists exploring this relationship. Conflicting findings in this literature may be accounted for by cognitive factors or differences in religious orientation. The following study investigated the relationship among religious orientation, social conformity, and child abuse potential. Individuals with an extrinsic orientation were predicted to display increased physical child abuse potential, mediated by social conformity. Two hundred and thirteen participants were solicited from various Christian churches in the Salt Lake City area and were assessed on their religious orientation (religion as an end/intrinsic and religion as a means/extrinsic), social conformity, and child abuse potential. Structural equation modeling was employed to analyze results supporting that the relationship between religion as an end, or intrinsic religiousness, to child abuse potential was fully mediated via social conformity, whereas, religion as a means, or extrinsic religiousness, independently related to child abuse potential. This indicates that those who pursue religion for more external or superficial reasons, rather than for more internalized reasons, appear to be more at risk for perpetuating physical child abuse. Results also  indicated that those who endorse a literal interpretation of the Bible compared to those  who do not are more likely to have a higher child abuse potential.
“It Goes Both Ways”: Negotiating Passing, Identities of Liminality, and Everything In-Between

description: This paper on “passing” was of a particularly personal nature to me. As a student at Goucher, I explored and was exposed to critical theories and experiences of race both inside the classroom and out. But as a non-black biracial person, I never understood where to situate myself in such conversations: I often inhabit both positions of “oppressor” and “oppressed” at once, or I oscillate back and forth between them. How can it be true that I have faced blatant racism and microaggressions most of my life, but at the same time there are contexts and situations in which I benefit from white privilege? When people first meet me, often they ask me some form of the question, “What are you?” and I’ve never really known how to answer. I have always identified as a person of color, as Indian, but a part of me often felt there was an element of hyperbole in making such a claim. Certainly, it would be just as much of a lie to identify as white.

When I studied abroad in India, this feeling of being in-between, of hovering between two half-identities, was brought into even sharper relief. Strangers would approach me on the streets, confused about my Western appearance, my Punjabi features, my failure to speak perfect Hindi, my skin that was both too fair to be Indian and too dark to be white. I had never felt more in the middle—not one but not the other either. When I returned I knew this experience was something I wanted to pursue further through a sociological lens. After being privy to similar, almost parallel discussions amongst my queer and trans friends and classmates—conversations about benefitting from the privileges of one identity while simultaneously suffering from the oppressive trauma of being misidentified and misgendered—I decided to look at “passing” as a broad analytical framework rather than focusing on race passing specifically. Out of this idea came a group project (we conducted data as a team and pooled resources for a literature review but each did our own analysis and wrote our own paper) that explored the nuances of flip-flopping between identities, a series of experiences more complex than we ever could have imagined at the onset of out research.

Bare Life, Bare Architecture: Deconstructing the Violence of Architecture in Al-Khalil, Palestine

Publisher: name: Maryland Shared Open Access Repository
Year: 2018
Subjects: subject: Research -- Periodicals.

description: The political philosopher Giorgio Agamben theorizes on the role, structure, and establishment of the state, and the way in which state power controls and dominates in the current era. He builds on Michel Foucault’s biopower and Hannah Arendt’s conceptions of the refugee to develop ideas surrounding homo sacer (the sacred figure in Roman law) into the ways in which the modern state can render bare life through the deprivation of rights in a process of a state of exception.

Weaving these complex ideas together with the rise of the Israeli state, the role of architecture, and the lived experiences of Palestinians in the city of Khalil (or Hebron) in the West Bank, this paper argues for the importance of acknowledging a kind of bare architecture that ultimately works as an apparatus for state violence. I pull from the philosopher Achille Mbembe, architect Eyal Weizman, visual culture theorist Ariella Azoulay, and other scholars to emphasize the role of designed spaces and architectural strategies in creating conditions of bare life.

This paper connects a rich range of topics that I have become passionate about throughout my four years at Goucher: the role of architecture and design in imprinting memory, behavior, and identity; the state’s creation and use of space; and Palestinian liberation from Israeli apartheid. I am thankful to have had the guidance of Professors Steve DeCaroli and Yousuf Al-Bulushi, who co-taught the course and allowed us to deeply pursue topics of interest to us. Further, there would be nothing without my indebtedness to Professors Zahi Khamis and Flo Martin, as well as my loved ones in Al-Khalil, who opened my eyes to the injustice and the struggle in the Holy Land.

“Quaring” the Scene: Negotiating Black Queer Identity in the Punk Community

Subjects: subject: Research -- Periodicals.

description: Over the course of my four years at Goucher I developed ties to Baltimore’s DIY punk scene. As do most punks who are not cisgender heterosexual white men, I had a complicated relationship with the scene: I loved going to shows and watching my friends perform, but I did not particularly like being called “little missy” or watching set after set with no people of color, no women/queer or gender non-conforming people. As conversations about racial, gender and sexual hierarchies began to overlap between my studies and my social circles, I began to learn more about (and continue to witness firsthand) the hierarchical and oppressive nature of this scene and of punk in general – and was enraged at the hypocrisy of such inequity within in a supposedly politically “progressive” scene. A quantitative research project that I did on racial and gender breakdowns at a series of local shows inspired me to pursue a deeper understanding of these overlapping systematic inequalities. Dr. Mel Lewis’ Black Queer Studies class, which—as the name implies— focused on the intersecting nature of oppressions as they applied to black queer folks, provided a theoretical background with which I could explore the histories of blackness and queerness in punk. This project was a fun and interesting one, as it allowed me to align my academic interests with my personal ones—but that made it equally frustrating, because by being involved in such a scene I was directly implicated in its politics. What I especially appreciated in writing this paper, however, was the ability (and, in many cases, the necessity) to step outside of the academic world and incorporate sources like documentaries, zines, and personal narratives into my research—providing slightly more nuanced perspectives that are reflective of the punk scene itself, and of resistance to it

description: Breast cancer is a serious public health concern and despite intensive research, the etiology of breast cancer is poorly understood. Known risk factors explain only a small proportion of breast cancer, and yet familial aggregation, recent segregation analyses, and studies of low penetrance genes suggest that additional breast cancer susceptibility loci exist and perhaps act in a polygenic fashion. Here three strategies and their fulfillment, to aid in identification of additional breast cancer predisposition loci, are described. The first strategy, identification of a new breast cancer phenotype, was proposed to identify a homogenous subgroup of cases that could be clustered into a single gene or a minimal number of genes disorder. We show that the histological subtype lobular breast cancer, identified through a familial aggregation study, increases risk of breast cancer and specifically lobular breast cancer in lobular cancer families compared to risk associated with any type of breast cancer. Hence, study of lobular breast cancer families may be useful in locating additional breast cancer genes. Second, novel association methods that are adaptable to large pedigree resources, qualitative or quantitative data types, and the ability to perform a variety of statistical tests, correcting for correlations between related individuals, was proposed. This strategy was fulfilled with the development of the pedigree-based association tool, PedGenie. Lastly, strategies to improve the reproducibility of results and study design including use of tagging single nucleotide polymorphisms (tSNPs) to identify underlying haplotype and linkage disequilibrium structure, and control of potential population stratification were proposed. These concepts were incorporated into a study of five candidate genes involved in the DNA repair pathway. Linkage disequilibrium structure and identification of tSNPs for each gene are reported.

Quantitative autoradiography of angiotensin II receptors in the brain and kidney

Publisher: name: University of Utah

Subjects: subject: Physiology
subject: FOS: Biological sciences

description: The rennin-angiotensin system is an important component in the regulation of systemic blood pressure.  Angiotensin II is the principle effector peptide of this system.  Interaction of angiotensin II with specific receptors can produce is several organ systems.  When administered into the brain this octa-peptide produces a variety of responses including a stimulation of drinking, increased systemic blood pressure and several neuroendocrine responses. Its effects on the kidney include alterations in arteriolar resistance, mesangial cell contraction and a feedback inhibition of the release of renin.  Since this peptide produces profound effects on homeostasis by an interaction with specific receptors, the quantitative technique of in vitro autoradiography was applied to localize receptor populations for angiotensin II.  Specific binding sites for a radiolabeled form angiotensin II were localized in various brain and kidney regions.  In the rat brain high densities of angiotensin II receptors were observed in the paraventricular and suprachiasmatic nuclei of the hypothalamus, supraoptic nucleus and the posterior lobe of the pituitary, brain areas in which angiotensin II modifies neuroendocrine functions.  In addition, receptor populations were detected in several brainstem cardiovascular regions including the locus coeruleus, nucleus of the solitary tract and the dorsal motor nucleus of the vagus.  Binding was also detected in several circumventricular organs including the subfornical organ and the organum vasculosum of the lamina terminalis, regions where angiotensin II is believed to produce a dipsogenic effect.  Angiotensin II receptors were also detected in several brain regions involved in mediating a variety of somatic and visceral sensory functions.  In the kidney angiotensin II receptors have been localized to the glomerulus, vasa recta and ureter.  Additional sites were also detected outside the vasa recta in the renal medulla.  These localization indicate regions of the kidney involved in angiotensin II receptor mediated alterations in kidney functions.  These result supply addition support for many of the postulated roles for angiotensin II in homeostasis by specific actions in the brain and kidney.  Additionally, several new potential actions of the renin-angiotensin system in modulating central nervous system sensory input have been indicated.

Metal ions

description: Guided-ion-beam tandem mass spectrometer techniques are used to study the activation of methane by the third-row transition metal ions, M = Hf, Ta+ , and Ta2 + . In the studies of the third-row transition metals reacting with methane, experimental cross sections are measured as a function of kinetic energy of the reactants and are used to derive the absolute bond dissociation energies of the transition metal complexes, MCHX  +  (x = 0-3). In addition, TaCfi2+ is reacted with H2 and D2 to examine the rate constants for  the reverse reaction. Complementary ab initio calculations are performed to provide the  electronic structures of the product species, as well as intermediates and transition states  along the reactive potential energy surface. The main goal of this work is to better  understand the ability of atomic transition metal ions to activate C-H bonds as well as  provide fundamental information regarding metal-ligand bond interactions and provide  insight into the role of spin conservation in these heavy-metal systems.

Tennis et distinction sociale en France

description: I have a deeply-rooted passion for tennis. The game, the physicality, the mental aspect and the players. It is in this latter group that this paper finds its genesis. In the immediate aftermath of my placement in the ‘Paris Country Club’ in France a thought niggled my mind, one that questioned the very thing I love. And this thought sought answers and explanations, perhaps hoping that with enlightenment and clarity, a sense of ease may also spring forth. In the most plain of terms, this paper is a detailed examination of tennis in France and throughout the world. Through the case study of the Paris Country Club itself my own thoughts and questions were brought into the light. It is the depressing truth that both social and racial injustice and segregation have the propensity to be exacerbated by the very existence of an elite sport such as tennis. Yet my argument does not stop with a mere unveiling of a universally acknowledged truth. Conversely, this paper aims to bring the role of the state and of the French Tennis Federation and the citizens within the tennis community and beyond to the forefront of the conversation, finding eventual solace in the thought (and one upon which I refuse to loosen my grip) that change can start with tennis, and that despite failings, it has already begun.

description: Angiotensin converting enzyme-2 (ACE2) is the cell-surface receptor enabling cellular entry of SARS-CoV-2. ACE2 is highly expressed in adipose tissue (AT), rendering AT a potential SARS-CoV-2 reservoir contributing to massive viral spread in COVID-19 patients with obesity. Although rodent and cell studies suggest that the polyphenol resveratrol alters ACE2, human studies are lacking. Here, we investigated the effects of 30-days resveratrol supplementation on RAS components in AT and skeletal muscle in men with obesity in a placebo-controlled cross-over study. Resveratrol markedly decreased ACE2 (~40%) and leptin (~30%), but did neither alter angiotensinogen, ACE and AT1R expression in AT nor skeletal muscle RAS components. These findings demonstrate that resveratrol supplementation reduces ACE2 in AT, which might dampen SARS-CoV-2 spread in COVID-19.

First Results of the 2021 FASER Calorimeter Test Beam
Creators: name: Cavanagh, Charlotte
Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2022

description: FASER, or the Forward Search Experiment, is a new experiment at CERN designed to complement the LHC's ongoing physics programme, extending its discovery potential to light and weakly-interacting particles that may be produced copiously at the LHC in the far-forward region. New physics particles targeted by FASER, such as long-lived dark photons or dark scalars, are characterised by a signature with two oppositely-charged tracks or two photons with very high energy (∼TeV) that emanate from a common vertex inside the detector. A tracking-based technology, supplemented by a magnet, four scintillator stations and an electromagnetic calorimeter to allow for energy measurements are the key components of FASER. The full detector was successfully installed in TI12 in March 2021 and operations are planned during Run 3. In 2021 a test beam campaign was carried out using one of the CERN beam lines to establish the calibration of the FASER calorimeter system. The relative calorimeter response to electrons of different energies (between 10 and 300 GeV) and high energy muons have been measured under various HV conditions and beam positions. Preliminary results are reported in this poster and compared to simulation.

Optimization of helical turbine in low head applications

Turbine

description: With current and ever increasing demands for energy, coupled with the limit on fossil fuels and their negative environmental impacts, there is a drive to harvest clean, renewable energy. One solution for harvesting clean energy includes hydraulic sources. Unfortunately, many methods for harvesting hydraulic energy result in environmental impacts of their own. One popular method consists of damming a water source. Although this method is efficient, it has its detrimental impacts. Some downfalls include restricting marine wildlife from venturing upstream for spawning, as well as flooding upstream land. Therefore, there is an additional push to develop a technology that can cleanly and efficiently harvest hydraulic energy with little to no impact on the environment. This project looks at the development of a helical turbine which harvests respectable amounts of energy in low-head hydro sources while creating virtually no impact on the environment.  The scope of this project is two-fold. Modeling multiple turbine designs and quantifying their results would be beneficial in the design optimization process. While commercial software packages have the capabilities of solving such problems, they require extensive time and expertise to setup, solve, and analyze. However, by making a few assumptions, a computational model was developed that allowed for an accurate analysis of a turbine design as well as the quantitative comparison of multiple configurations. While sources of error from the assumptions did not allow for complete agreement between experimental and computational results, the computational analysis provided a valuable tool for understanding the dynamics behind the operation of these turbines and how different parameters affect the performance of the system.  The study also includes experimentally optimizing the turbine for maximum power output. Multiple variables were tested including airfoil profile, the number of blades per turbine and the turbines' solidity. Due to not having a water channel which could meet the volume and velocity demands needed, a wind tunnel was used. Geometric and dynamic effects were scaled appropriately. Results from these tests were compared to the computational results for validity. The most efficient turbine design for this method of application was a 3 bladed, NACA-0022 with 55% solidity.

A study of caring within an institutional culture.

Subjects: Care of the sick
Communication

description: Caring is central to the profession of nursing, and cross-cultural caring is central to the sub-field of transcultural nursing. This study is an analysis of the meaning of caring expressions and behavior, principally those which are related to nurses within a hospital culture in the United States. Caring was investigated by primarily an inductive research approach through participant observation techniques. Comparative data of different social units (persons, roles, clinical units, and documents) formed the basis from which conceptual categories of caring (a classification system), and theoretical frames of reference were discovered. A classification system founded on 1362 caring responses of 192 participants consisting of four categories with their respective subsets was developed. They are as follows: Psychological (Cognitive and Affective); Interactional (Social and Physical); Practical (Technical and Social Organization); and Philosophical (Spiritual, Ethical, and Cultural). The Psychological category received the largest number of responses, followed by the Practical, the Interactional, and lastly, the Philosophical categories. The classification system reflected the current shift from humanistic-religious dimensions of caring to practical dimensions influenced by the relationship of caring to the bureaucratic dominant American social structures. In an analysis of caring within the hospital clinical units, data reinforced the existence of a logical connection between caring behaviors and the bureaucratic social structure. Contrasting examples of differential caring patterns emerged. A substantive theoretical frame of reference of differential caring was identified. The pattern of differential caring, coupled with the patterns discovered in the cognitive analysis were abstracted into a formal theoretical frame of reference, bureaucratized caring. The theoretical frames of reference of differentiation and bureaucratization demonstrated the complex meaning and structure of caring in a contemporary hospital culture. Ideal nursing models of caring were replaced by a bureaucratic model which produced professional conflict for the majority of nurses. The future of nursing now depends on how well the nature of bureaucratic caring is understood. To help in the development of transcultural nursing awareness and caring knowledge, a list of recommendations for research, education, and practice was suggested.

description: We studied optical, electrical, and magnetic field responses of films and devices based on organic semiconductors that are used for organic light emitting diodes (OLEDs) and photovoltaic (OPV) solar cell applications. Our studies show that the hyperfine interaction (HFI)-mediated spin mixing is the key process underlying various magnetic field effects (MFE) and spin transport in aluminum tris(8-hydroxyquinoline)[Alq3]-based OLEDs and organic spin-valve (OSV). Conductivity-detected magnetic resonance in OLEDs and magneto-resistance (MR) in OSVs show substantial isotope dependence. In contrast, isotope-insensitive behavior in the magneto-conductance (MC) of same devices is explained by the collision of spin ½ carriers with triplet polaron pairs. We used steady state optical spectroscopy for studying the energy transfer dynamics in films and OLEDs based on host-guest blends of the fluorescent polymer and phosphorescent molecule. We have also studied the magnetic-field controlled color manipulation in these devices, which provide a strong proof for the ‘polaron-pair' mechanism underlying the MFE in organic devices. The critical issue that hampers organic spintronics device applications is significant magneto-electroluminescence (MEL) at room temperature (RT). Whereas inorganic spin valves (ISVs) show RT magneto-resistance, MR>80%, however, the devices do not exhibit electroluminescence (EL). In contrast, OLEDs show substantive EL emission, and are particularly attractive because of their flexibility, low cost, and potential for multicolor display. We report a conceptual novel hybrid organic/inorganic spintronics device (h-OLED), where we employ both ISV with large MR at RT, and OLED that has efficient EL emission. We investigated the charge transfer process in an OPV solar cell through optical, electrical, and magnetic field measurements of thin films and devices based on a low bandgap polymer, PTB7 (fluorinated poly-thienothiophene-benzodithiophene). We found that one of the major losses that limit the power conversion efficiency of OPV devices is the formation of triplet excitons in the polymer through recombination of charge-transfer (CT) excitons at the interface, and presented a method to suppress the dissociation of CT states by incorporating the spin ½ additive, galvinoxyl in the bulk heterojunction architecture of the active organic blend layer.

description: Adipocytes in the breast tumour microenvironment promotes acquired treatment resistance. We used an in vitro adipocyte-conditioned media approach to investigate the direct paracrine effects of adipocyte secretory factors on MDA-MB-231 breast cancer cells treated with doxorubicin to clarify the underlying treatment resistance mechanisms. Cell-viability assays, and Western blots were performed to determine alterations in apoptotic, proliferation and lipid metabolism protein markers. Free fatty acids (FFA) and inflammatory markers in the collected treatment-conditioned media were also quantified. Adipocyte secretory factors increased the cell-viability of doxorubicin-treated cells (p < 0.0001), which did not correspond to apoptosis or proliferation pathways. Adipocyte secretory factors increased the protein expression of hormone-sensitive lipase (p < 0.05) in doxorubicin-treated cells. Adipocyte secretory factors increased the utilization of leptin (p < 0.05) and MCP-1 (p < 0.01) proteins and possibly inhibited release of linoleic acid by doxorubicin-treated cells (treatment-conditioned media FFA profiles). Adipocyte secretory factors induced doxorubicin treatment resistance, by increasing the utilization of inflammatory mediators and inhibiting the release of FFA by doxorubicin-treated cells. This further promotes inflammation and lipid metabolic reprogramming (lipid storage) in the tumour microenvironment, which breast cancer cells use to evade the toxic effects induced by doxorubicin and confers to acquired treatment resistance.

Parental acceptance of nursing participation in well-baby care
Creators: name: Chinn, Peggy Lois
Publisher: name: University of Utah

description: The growing demands of health care for all persons in the United States and the shortage of health workers have stimulated innovations and new approaches in the present health care system.  Pediatric workers have experimented with plans requiring collaboration and realignment of roles between physicians and nurse in making health care available to more children.  The present study attempted to evaluate parental acceptance of a health care plan which utilized examinations and counseling by a nurse as a regular par of well-baby care.  The attitudes of 27 mothers concerning the health care of their children received from age 5 months to 12 months were evaluated.  Fourteen of the children received traditional pediatric will0child care; 13 mothers voluntarily participated in the new plan in which the nurse conducted alternate well-baby visits.  Each mother responded to a questionnaire dealing with her satisfaction and evaluation of well-child care.  The responses were compared using factor analysis and t tests.  No differences  were found in the attitudes of mothers toward the care their children received, and the new plan seamed to be well accepted.  This plan appears to be a favorable method of delivering health care to young children.

description: Intervertebral discs (IVDs) are soft tissues between adjacent vertebra, which allow motion of the spine. Unfortunately, the IVD can degenerate with age, disease, and with trauma. To better understand the process of IVD degeneration and the potential for regeneration, researchers have used Ilizarovtype devices to compress and to distract the IVD using a rat-tail model. These devices transmit loads applied to two external rings surrounding the tail, to rods implanted through adjacent vertebra, either compressing or distracting the IVD. However, these devices are typically made of materials that induce artifacts with magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), the standard of human IVD assessment, and provide only gross morphology, but are inadequate to differentiate between the nucleus pulposus and the annulus fibrosus. The goal of this project was to develop an MRI-compatible Ilizarov-type device that allowed observation of nonanesthetized animals during repeated distraction treatments The device developed in this study was constructed of MRI-compatible polysulfone (Psf) rings and carbon fiber rods. By developing new protocols, alignment of the rings and rods were standardized and minimized vascular, neural, and muscular damage to the rat-tail. A custom feedback-controlled pneumatic system inflated a latex bladder inserted between the Psf rings. MRIs were conducted with a loop-gap single-turn solenoid seated in a bed, which accommodated the solenoid's perpendicular orientation to the primary axis of the main magnet and maintained animal homeostasis. In the targeted loading range of 0-10 N, the modulus of the ring/rod constructs implanted into in vitro rat-tails was 5±3 N/mm, but were capable of withstanding up to 32±3 N/mm. Implanting these devices into 49 anesthetized rats resulted in zero intraoperative complications. MRI images provided quantifiable separation of the nucleus pulposus and annulus fibrosus with 30 min scan times. However, two weeks after surgery, the periprosthetic tissues of 38 of the animals became inflamed, requiring treatment with antibiotics and resulted in eight deaths. While the goal of developing an MRI compatible distraction device that allowed observation of nonanesthetized animals during repeated distraction treatments was achieved, replacing the carbon-fiber rods used in this study with a more biocompatible matrix is necessary for future studies.

Marneuli

description: The global COVID-19 pandemic had a profound impact on various aspects of public life in Georgia, shedding light on the challenges our society faced. It brought about a significant shift in our interaction with state institutions, illuminating both their strengths and weaknesses in crisis management. The pandemic necessitated crucial national decisions made by the government. This paper examines how the designation of the Marneuli and Bolnisi districts as quarantine zones during the COVID-19 outbreak influenced the perception and understanding of ethnic minorities. Additionally, it explores the communication and language barriers in these densely inhabited minority regions. The research investigates how Georgian, Armenian, and Azerbaijani communities perceive Kvemo Kartli and Marneuli and their roles in shaping our collective identity. It questions the rationale behind the imposition of lockdowns on these municipalities and discusses their necessity, inevitability, and legality. This juncture can be considered a "state of war" during the pandemic, where the demonstration of power becomes a crucial element of political ontology. It analyzes how the state utilizes attributes of war to manage anxieties, transforming general apprehension into fear, thereby making society more compliant. Building on the work of Lehtinen and Brunila regarding the pandemic's political ontology, the study explores how the state's adoption of the war ontology can lead to instances of racism, where individuals from other nations and diverse minorities are perceived as "enemies" and "threats." The paper also addresses the local population's response to strict state measures such as lockdowns and restrictions, examining their protest methods and levels of organization. It analyzes the strategies adopted by the population to coexist with the pandemic and adhere to state regulations. In the concluding section, the focus shifts to the process of integrating the Azerbaijani community into Georgian society, a pivotal aspect of the pandemic's impact.

description: Quantitative data were gathered concerning the extent of resistance induced in mice immunized by specific and nonspecific means and subsequently challenged both parenterally and by aerosol. Animals were immunized specifically by subcutaneous injection of formalin-killed Klebsiella pneumoniae Type I which was also employed as challenge organism.  The intraperitoneal LD50 was 30 bacilli. Nonspecific resistance was induced by injection of a Boivin (Difco) perpetration of Salmonella tvphimurium endotoxin.  Nonspecific resistance was highest 24 hours after injection of 10 ug of endotoxin. At this time, over half the mice survived challenge with 10(2) but not 10(3) LD50.  Specifically immunized mice were resistant to as much as 10(5) LD50 depending upon route of immunization.  Potency ratios for parenteral challenge were:  nonspecific to   normal, 100, specific to normal, 10(4) to 10(5), specific to nonspecific, 10(2) to 10(3).  Specific immunization protected against aerosol challenge in the LD100 range.  Nonspecifically immunized animals showed significant prolongation of survival time but the 30 day mortality was similar to the control group. When aerosol challenge was in the LD50 range, the 30 day mortality showed differences between non-specifically immunized animals and control groups.  The differences were not significant using groups of 30 mice.
