Paper House: The Revolution, the Disappeared, and the Historicity of Lebanon

Field: Arts and Humanities (Social Sciences)

This thesis will be an attempt to reenact events in relation to the disappeared and the Lebanese civil war, with the help of newspaper cuts, oral history, theories on historical writing, memories, and books on Lebanon. As a prospective historian, the writer will be tapping into the internal event of thought processes and meaning of the past, as advised by R. G. Collingwood in The Idea of History. (Collingwood, 1946 ) That critical inquiry will only be at the service of understanding the present from the lens of a self-reflecting inquisitor that has faced many silences in a past she doesn’t own as yet. The inquiry will be a dissection of those silences, an attempt at vocalizing quarter rests in the symphony of sediments of time in the history of Lebanon and particularly in the case of the disappeared of the Lebanese civil war. In a nutshell, the questions raised in this humble attempt are going to unearth several non-linear instances unfolding concepts such as absence, grave culture and silence, and finally experience, all tying to the current events of the Lebanese Revolution which was categorized as “unthinkable” until very recently. The first chapter will be looking into the break from the past as of October 17's Lebanese Revolution (2019), through Hartog’s concept of regimes of historicity, taking into account Foucault’s order of things as well as his analysis of Frederick Nietzche. It will also be based on Walter Benjamin’s Illuminations, and Sune Haugbolle’s Gramscian approach of studying the Lebanese civil war’s socio-cultural affect. The second chapter will be dissecting the concept of being in time based on Martin Heidegger’s findings, absence and its many definitions, and subsequently tending to the case of the disappeared in Lebanon. Through those concepts and case study, and utilizing Marc Nichanian’s The Historiographic Perversion,the writer will delve further into violence of the archive in conversation with cultural production (including literature, film features and art spaces) in which silences were witnessing confined breaks and through which the disappeared were present. And finally the third chapter will be focused mainly on experience and the field of history, based on Georgio Agamben’s Infancy and History and Michel-Rolph Trouillot’s Silencing the Past.
Chronic Hypergravity Induces Changes in the Dopaminergic Neuronal System in Drosophila Melanogaster

Field: Neuroscience (Life Sciences)

Upon atmospheric exitre-entry and during training, astronauts are subjected to temporary periods of hypergravity, which has been implicated in the activation of oxidative stress pathways contributing to mitochondrial dysfunction and neuronal degeneration. The pathogenesis of Parkinsons disease and other neurodegenerative disorders is associated with oxidative damage to neurons involved in dopamine systems of the brain. Our study aims to examine the effects of a hypergravitational developmental environment on the degeneration of dopaminergic systems in Drosophila melanogaster. Male and female flies (Gal4-UAS transgenic line) were hatched and raised to adulthood in centrifugal hypergravity (97rpm, 3g). The nuclear expression of the reporter, Green Fluorescent Protein (GFP) is driven by the dopaminergic enzyme tyrosine hydroxylase (TH) promoter, allowing for the targeted visualization of dopamine producing neurons. After being raised to adulthood and kept in hypergravity until 18 days of age, flies were dissected and the expression of TH was measured by fluorescence confocal microscopy. TH expression in the fly brains was used to obtain counts of healthy dopaminergic neurons for flies raised in chronic hypergravity and control groups. Dopaminergic neuron expression data were compared with those of previous studies that limited hypergravity exposure to late life in order to determine the flies adaptability to the gravitational environment when raised from hatching through adulthood. Overall, we observed a significant effect of chronic hypergravity exposure contributing to deficits in dopaminergic neuron expression (p 0.003). Flies raised in 3g had on average lower dopaminergic neuron counts (mean 97.7) when compared with flies raised in 1g (mean 122.8). We suspect these lower levels of TH expression are a result of oxidative dopaminergic cell loss in flies raised in hypergravity. In future studies, we hope to further elucidate the mechanism by which hypergravity-induced oxidative stress damages the dopaminergic neuronal system, as well as examining possible chemical countermeasures to the hypergravity-induced oxidative stress response in dopaminergic neurons in order to combat cell death and consequent mental and behavioral deficits.

The End of the Story?

Field: Arts and Humanities (Social Sciences)

One of the central arguments of the previous chapter was that participatory theatre work is explained by discursive systems, some of which we may (perhaps inadvertently) encourage and some of which feed from our work in ways that we might not choose. This chapter focuses on one such 'system' and seeks to question its hold on theatre and performance studies. It aims to move beyond what I will argue are its limits, to construct a vision for applied theatre that is strongly historically situated and culturally specific: one that both rejects this particular theoretical framework and questions the practice that emerges from it. The chapter focuses on theories of trauma, approaches to trauma relief and related practices of storytelling and narration. It would be wrong to argue that all applied theatre projects have been dominated by or are situated within these fields but, as will be demonstrated below, many practices are either directly or indirectly affected by their terms of reference. The claim here is that a dependency on theories of trauma narrows the potential of the work and aligns applied theatre with some deeply problematic assumptions and practices. In order to develop this argument, the origins of trauma as 'one of the signal concepts of our time' (Leys, 2000, p. 10) will be explored and then I will outline how it has been adopted by or translated into performance practice.KeywordsHolocaust SurvivorPerformance AffectNarrative Exposure TherapyTheatre PractitionerDisaster Mental HealthThese keywords were added by machine and not by the authors.

A comparison of the morphology of lipid absorption in the jejunum and ileum of the adult rat

Field: Biochemistry, Genetics and Molecular Biology (Life Sciences)

Abstract Morphological aspects of lipid absorption were compared in the jejunum, mid‐ and terminal ileum. Physiological fatty chyme was injected into ligated segments of each of the intestinal regions in fasting rats. Tissues were removed at intervals from 5 to 30 minutes and prepared for electron microscopy. The results show the morphological pattern of lipid accumulation to be similar in the jejunum and mid‐ileum. Both show evidence for considerable lipid absorption and transport. The terminal ileum, in contrast, displays an altered pattern of lipid distribution. Numerous lipid droplets begin to form at an early time period in the cytoplasmic matrix, as in the upper intestine. These droplets become larger and more numerous as absorption progresses. Lipid droplets in the endoplasmic reticulum and Golgi apparatus, however, are present in considerably reduced size and numbers through the entire absorptive period examined, as compared to the upper intestine. Few droplets are present in the lamina propria. Considerably less transport of absorbed lipid is indicated. This morphological pattern appears to correlate with a reduced synthesis of triglycerides in the terminal ileum. The evidence suggests that triglyceride synthesis and the formation of membrane‐bound droplets are related events as they normally occur in the upper small intestine.

Two Birds with One Stone: NFAT1-MDM2 Dual Inhibitors for Cancer Therapy

Field: Pharmacology, Toxicology and Pharmaceutics (Life Sciences)

The tumor suppressor p53 is believed to be the mostly studied molecule in modern biomedical research. Although p53 interacts with hundreds of molecules to exert its biological functions, there are only a few modulators regulating its expression and function, with murine double minute 2 (MDM2) playing a key role in this regard. MDM2 also contributes to malignant transformation and cancer development through p53-dependent and -independent mechanisms. There is an increasing interest in developing MDM2 inhibitors for cancer prevention and therapy. We recently demonstrated that the nuclear factor of activated T cells 1 (NFAT1) activates MDM2 expression. NFAT1 regulates several cellular functions in cancer cells, such as cell proliferation, migration, invasion, angiogenesis, and drug resistance. Both NFAT isoforms and MDM2 are activated and overexpressed in several cancer subtypes. In addition, a positive correlation exists between NFAT1 and MDM2 in tumor tissues. Our recent clinical study has demonstrated that high expression levels of NFAT1 and MDM2 are independent predictors of a poor prognosis in patients with hepatocellular carcinoma. Thus, inhibition of the NFAT1-MDM2 pathway appears to be a novel potential therapeutic strategy for cancer. In this review, we summarize the potential oncogenic roles of MDM2 and NFAT1 in cancer cells and discuss the efforts of discovery and the development of several newly identified MDM2 and NFAT1 inhibitors, focusing on their potent in vitro and in vivo anticancer activities. This review also highlights strategies and future directions, including the need to focus on the development of more specific and effective NFAT1-MDM2 dual inhibitors for cancer therapy.
Generation of alloantigen-specific T regulatory cells via a chimeric antigen receptor targeting HLA-A2

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

Abstract CD4+ T regulatory cells (Tregs) are of clinical interest due to their potent immunosuppressive activity in both transplantation and autoimmunity models. Clinical efficacy in humans has been limited by aspects of Treg biology, including the difficulty of isolating sufficient numbers for potency without sacrificing purity and thus function. Enriching for antigen-specific Tregs greatly increases potency, however, antigen-specific Tregs are extremely rare. The success of chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) technology in generating antigen-specific effector T cells suggested that a similar approach could be used to generate alloantigen-specific Tregs for use in transplantation. We generated a new CAR specific for HLA-A2 (A2-CAR) and tested its application in the generation of alloantigen-specific human Tregs. Naïve Tregs were sorted from human peripheral blood, activated, and transduced with A2-CAR lentivirus. Stimulation through the A2-CAR upregulated Treg activation markers and functional molecules, and resulted in proliferation. Importantly, in vitro studies showed that A2-CAR-expressing Tregs maintained their expected phenotype and suppressive function, before, during and after HLA-A2-mediated stimulation. In vivo, A2-CAR Tregs were superior to Tregs expressing an irrelevant CAR at preventing xenogeneic graft-versus-host disease caused by HLA-A2+ T cells. Together, these data suggest that alloantigen-specific Tregs generated by the introduction of an A2-CAR may be a potent and specific immunosuppressive treatment in transplantation.
Compressive and tensile failure at high fluid pressure where preexisting fractures have cohesive strength, with application to the San Andreas Fault

Field: Earth and Planetary Sciences (Physical Sciences)

In thrusting and strike‐slip situations, when the maximum principal horizontal stress S 1 acts nearly normal to a fault (a misoriented fault, such as the San Andreas), pore‐fluid pressure > the lithostatic load, P f > S v , is required to reactivate movement on that fault. P f > S v may be achieved without causing hydraulic tensile fracturing if (1) previously existing cracks have regained cohesive strength by chemical processes, (2) subcritical crack growth has been blunted, and (3) the least principal horizontal stress S 3 nearly equals S v . Where P f > S v has been attained within a misaligned fault, increasing the stress difference ( S 1 – S 3 ) at constant P f > S v will not lead to shear failure, while a decrease in ( S 1 – S 3 ) can lead to shear failure of that fault. However, where the cohesive strength of material in a broad misaligned fault zone is less than that of the surrounding intact rock, increasing ( S 1 – S 3 ) while P f > S v can result in shear failure of fractures at near optimum angles to S 1 , but confined within this weak fault zone. If this faulting results in the local short‐lived attainment of P f > S v (cataclastic deformation and frictional heating overcoming dilation) and a simultaneous decrease in ( S 1 – S 3 ), this combination of effects can trigger movement along the main trace of the misaligned fault. When increasing P f results in hydraulic failure, anisotropy in tensile strength or fracture toughness resulting from foliation within faults allows fractures to propagate along the planes of weakness rather than across the foliation perpendicular to S 3 .
Culture and Conflict

Field: Social Sciences (Social Sciences)

Abstract Conflict is one of the most frequently used terms in our daily lives. It refers to states and/or situations of discord, disharmony, and opposition within, between, and among people, groups, and nations. It can also refer to intrapsychic tensions in which beliefs, values, impulses, and behaviors contend with one another. This opposition or contention can assume the proportion of a simple disagreement, or it can extend to the level of violence, aggression, and even warfare. In all instances, a conflict has its roots in “differences” that require resolution because of the inherent state of tension, stress, and/or emotional and intellectual discomfort and discontent. For conflict to exist, the differences usually are perceived as threatening to identity, security, and/or health and well‐being.
Multipole polarization assisted optical bistability in a semiconductor quantum dot/metal nanoparticle hybrid molecule

Field: Physics and Astronomy (Physical Sciences)

We theoretically study the optical bistability assisted by multipole polarizations in a semiconductor quantum dot (SQD)/metal nanoparticle (MNP) hybrid molecule. We map out bistability phase diagrams within the parameter subspace spanned by (the pumping intensity Ipu, interparticle distance, d) under dipole and multipole approximations. It is shown that the Ipu-correlated bistable region will be broadened greatly in the strong exciton–plasmon coupling regime, and the corresponding lower (upper) bistable threshold is enlarged significantly due to multipole polarization (N = 10) in comparison to that in the dipole approximation (N = 1). However, under the same conditions, the d-correlated bistable region is shrunk at high pump intensities. Our contribution not only offers a better understanding of exciton–plasmon coupling systems but also expands the application of SQD/MNP hybrid molecules in the field of optical bistable nanodevices.
Rising magnetic flux tubes as a source of IR-variability of the accretion disks of young stars

Field: Physics and Astronomy (Physical Sciences)

Abstract We investigate dynamics of slender magnetic flux tubes (MFT) in the accretion disks of young stars. Simulations show that MFT rise from the disk and can accelerate to 20-30 km/s causing periodic outflows. Magnetic field of the disk counteracts the buoyancy, and the MFT oscillate near the disk’s surface with periods of 10-100 days. We demonstrate that rising and oscillating MFT can cause the IR-variability of the accretion disks of young stars.
Input impedance of spherical microstrip antenna

Field: Engineering (Physical Sciences)

The input impedance of a spherical microstrip antenna excited by a coaxial probe is analysed. Both the TM11 mode of spherical circular microstrip antenna and the TM12 mode of spherical annular microstrip antenna are considered. Galerkin's procedure is used to solve the surface current on the patch. The effects of the dielectric thickness and the size of the sphere on the input impedance are studied. Results are compared with antennas on planar surface and with perfect magnetic wall cavity model.
Fair Network Division of Nano-satellite Swarms

Field: Computer Science (Physical Sciences)

We address the problem of partitioning a network of nano-satellites to fairly distribute the network load under energy consumption constraints. The study takes place in a context where a swarm of nano-satellites orbits the Moon and works as, but not limited to, a distributed radio-telescope for low-frequency radio interferometry. During an interferometry mission, each nano-satellite collects observation data, then shares them with the other swarm members to compute a global image of space. However, the simultaneous transmission of large volumes of data can cause communication issues by overloading the radio channel, leading to potential packet loss. In this context, we investigate three division algorithms based on graph sampling techniques. We prove that random walk-based algorithms overall perform the best in terms of conservation of graph properties and fairness for group sizes down to 10% of the original graph.
Quality of life in ambulatory pulmonary arterial hypertension in connective tissue diseases and its relationship with risk stratification

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

The Pulmonary Arterial Hypertension Symptoms and Impact Questionnaire (PAH‐SYMPACT) is a PAH‐specific patient‐reported outcome scale assessing patients’ quality of life from four aspects: cardiopulmonary symptoms, cardiovascular symptoms, physical impacts and cognitive/emotional impacts. This study aimed to validate the Chinese version of PAH‐SYMPACT and explore its relationship with risk stratification in patients with connective tissue disease‐associated pulmonary arterial hypertension (CTD‐PAH). In addition, 75 patients with CTD‐PAH confirmed by right heart catheterization were invited to complete questionnaires including PAH‐SYMPACT, the 36‐item Medical Outcomes Study Short Form Survey (SF‐36) and EuroQol five dimensions questionnaire (EQ‐5D). The demographic, clinical, laboratory and treatment data were collected. The endpoint was treatment goal achievement status in 6–12 months after completing the questionnaires, defined as an integrated outcome. Participants’ mean age was 36.4 ± 11.9 years and the mean pulmonary arterial pressure was 38.9 ± 13.67 mmHg. The reliability of the PAH‐SYMPACT domains ranged from 0.83 to 0.88. Results of factor analysis basically conformed the original PAH‐SYMPACT. The treatment goal achievement (TGA) status in 6–12 months was significantly associated with physical impacts scores (odds ratio: 0.180, 95% confidence interval: 0.036–0.908, P=0.038). The Chinese version of PAH‐SYMPACT is a reliable measurement to evaluate quality of life in CTD‐PAH patients and is also a potential predictor of patient’s condition change in routine clinical practice.
Analysis of Suspended Potential Discharge Defects by SF6 Decomposition Products

Field: Engineering (Physical Sciences)

Abstract The type and content of SF 6 decomposition products are directly related to the type, location and degree of fault. Based on the analysis of the abnormal SF 6 gas decomposition product content and discharge type of 126kV Porcelain Column type circuit breaker, the potential fault of the circuit breaker is judged to be suspension potential discharge fault. After disassembling the circuit breaker, it is found that the abnormal phase of the insulation rod is deformed, the pin become thin, and there are solid decomposition products, the sulfides and fluoride, which are mainly composed of iron, aluminum, chromium and manganese, further confirm that the potential fault of the circuit breaker is suspension potential discharge fault. The forming process and reaction mechanism of the suspended potential discharge fault are analyzed. Once the fault occurs, its function will promote the development of the fault. The influence of the suspension potential discharge fault on the performance of the circuit breaker is also analyzed. When the suspension potential discharge fault exists, it will cause the abnormality and even affect the normal operation of the circuit breake.
