Memory activism : methods of creation of alternative collective memory in former Yugoslavia and Israel

Field: Social Sciences (Social Sciences)

This paper aims at categorizing the tools used contemporarily by memory activists to create the alternative collective memories. By using examples of memory work done by activists in Israel and former Yugoslavia (Serbia and Bosnia and Hercegovina) I attempt to show methods employed by memory activists to produce alternative knowledge and counter-memory. The paper looks at examples of memory activism from the countries where activists and NGOs are currently engaged in large memory work, raising awareness about the past and the present, as well as commemorating facts suppressed through hegemonic collective-memory. The tools described here are divided into several categories, with a short analysis of the circumstances they are used in, to show contemporary memory work and activism and its outcomes.

Disparities in Nursing Home Use and Quality Among African American, Hispanic, and White Medicare Residents With Alzheimer’s Disease and Related Dementias

Field: Health Professions (Health Sciences)

Objective: This article examines differences in nursing home use and quality among Medicare beneficiaries, in both Medicare Advantage and fee-for-service, newly admitted to nursing homes with Alzheimer’s disease and related dementias (ADRD). Method: Retrospective, national, population-based study of Medicare residents newly admitted to nursing homes with ADRD by race and ethnic group. Our analytic sample included 1,302,099 nursing home residents—268,181 with a diagnosis of ADRD—in 13,532 nursing homes from 2014. Results: We found that a larger share of Hispanic Medicare residents that are admitted to nursing homes have ADRD compared with African American and White beneficiaries. Both Hispanics and African Americans with ADRD received care in segregated nursing homes with fewer resources and lower quality of care compared with White residents. Discussion: These results have implications for targeted efforts to achieve health care equity and quality improvement efforts among nursing homes that serve minority patients.

Substantiation of the pharmaceutical market risks system ensuring the quality of health care

Field: Health Professions (Health Sciences)

Approaches to risk management of the pharmaceutical market were proposed. All information technologies systems used for the calculation of risk indicators, analysis and evaluation constitute are the most important part of the risk management infrastructure. The problem of in time provision of essential drugs for patients is one of the most important conditions for high quality medical care in the population. But even more important is quality of healthcare which is directly influenced by market conditions, availability or absence of a specified medication. It makes the task of risk management of the pharmaceutical market very difficult. The first and main stage of any risk management system is their systematization.
Elucidation of the DNA sequence preferences of daunomycin.

Field: Chemistry (Physical Sciences)

The sequence specificity of daunomycin was assessed using competition equilibrium dialysis, DNAse I footprinting and an E. coli RNA polymerase transcription inhibition assay; similar studies were performed on adriamycin and a new bis-intercalating daunomycin dimer. The results clearly demonstrate that the highest affinity sites are CA for daunomycin and adriamycin, and CACA for the bis-daunomycin. Other modest affinity (GC, CG, CT, TC, CC, AC) and poor affinity binding sites (AA, AT, TA) were also observed. Our results are in agreement with (a) the observed 5'-pyrimidine-purine-3' sequence preference of intercalating drugs, (b) the reported role played by OH(9) of daunomycin in the stabilization of the drug/DNA intercalation complex, and (c) the thermodynamics of nearest neighbour base-pair unstacking at the intercalation site. The CA specificity of daunomycin and adriamycin suggests that their biological activity may arise from association with the CA containing sequences which are thought to be associated with genetic regulatory elements in eukaryotes. The implications for future anthracycline drug design are presented in this context.
Neurotrophin-4 induces myelin protein zero expression in cultured Schwann cells via the TrkB/PI3K/Akt/mTORC1 pathway

Field: Neuroscience (Life Sciences)

Myelin formation during peripheral nervous system development, as well as myelin repair after injury and in disease, requires multiple intrinsic and extrinsic signals. Neurotrophin-4 (NT-4) is a member of the neurotrophin family, which regulates the development of neuronal networks by participating in the growth of neuronal processes, synaptic development and plasticity, neuronal survival, and differentiation. However, the intracellular signaling pathways by which NT-4 participates in myelination by Schwann cells remain elusive. In this study, we examined the effects of NT-4 on the expression of compact myelin proteins in cultured Schwann cells. Using real-time quantitative RT-PCR and western blotting, we found that NT-4 could significantly enhance the expression of myelin protein zero (MPZ) but not the expression of myelin basic protein or peripheral myelin protein 22. Further, knockdown of truncated TrkB with small interfering RNA could eliminate the effect of NT-4 on MPZ expression. Moreover, we demonstrated that the NT-4-enhanced MPZ expression depended on Akt and mTORC1 signaling. Taken together, these results suggest that NT-4 binds TrkB to enhance the expression of MPZ in Schwann cells, probably through the PI3K/Akt/mTORC1 signaling pathway, thus contributing to myelination.
Study on Soil Erosion Characters in Different Slopes

Field: Environmental Science (Physical Sciences)

This paper analyzed the slope erosion and sediment yield process of different slope through the indoor rainfall simulation test.The results show that:the sediment showed an obvious regularity under the same slope,and the rainfall intensity conditions.During the whole rainfall,the sediment content of concave form slope is the biggest,the next is the convex form slope and the linear form slope.With the extension of rainfall intensity and slope gradient,the impact of slope shape on erosion and sediment yield will be increasing;and in the same slope shape conditions,the sediment concentration significantly increased with rainfall intensity and slope gradient.

Increased Frontoparietal integration after Stroke and Cognitive Recovery

Field: Neuroscience (Life Sciences)

The neural mechanism by which patients spontaneously recover cognitive function after brain injury is not understood. Here we demonstrate for the first time that aphasic patients, who have largely recovered language function, show increased frontoparietal integration. A similar change in functional connectivity is also observed when normal subjects are exposed to adverse listening conditions. Thus, compensation for inefficient language processing is associated with increased integration between parts of the language network critical to language control. This change reflects greater top-down control of speech comprehension and provides a mechanism by which language impairments after stroke may be compensated for. ANN NEUROL 2010;68:753-756
Intergenerational Transfers and Public Expenditure on the Elderly in Modern Britain

Field: Social Sciences (Social Sciences)

ABSTRACT In the United States, much attention has recently been directed to the issue of whether the welfare system has become over-generous to the retired population, at the expense of families with children. The proportion of the US elderly population living in poverty has fallen significantly in the last fifteen years while the number of poor children has increased rapidly, and it has been suggested that this lack of investment in the next generation of workers may have disastrous longterm consequences for the U.S. economy. This paper considers whether similar trends are evident in Britain. It reviews data on the poverty and income of the elderly population, and finds little unequivocal evidence of relative economic gain over the last two decades, although it is clear that many children have suffered from the recent rise in unemployment-induced poverty. It also looks at direct public expenditure on the elderly through both the pension and the health and personal social services systems, and finds no evidence of a transfer of public resources away from children and towards the elderly population. The paper concludes that the British welfare state has been remarkably neutral in its allocation of resources between generations, and that, in the British context, any discussion of inter-generational conflict for welfare resources establishes a false dichotomy, because economic inequality within broad age groups is much greater than inequality between age groups.

Concepts of Security in South America

Field: Social Sciences (Social Sciences)

The article analyses the framing of themes and issues in terms of security in South America and the potential support for intervention in the region. The argument is developed that five elements contribute to understanding attitudes toward intervention in the region: the wider interest in the security sphere among South American elites as the Cold War drew to an end; the concern with the distribution of power in the international system; the portrayal of South America as a zone of peace; the broadening of the concept of security; and the centrality of the concept of state sovereignty.
Rethinking the system for measuring and assessing the quality of research in Colombian heis

Field: Social Sciences (Social Sciences)

En el editorial de la edicion anterior de nuestra revista presentamos la perspectiva critica de la investigacion y la gestion del conocimiento en las universidades colombianas, donde nos cuestionamos sobre la evaluacion de los procesos educativos, especialmente de uno de sus pilares fundamentales como lo es la investigacion. De alguna manera se entreveia que el modelo actual de evaluacion que maneja el Estado, a traves de Colciencias, hoy convertido en ministerio, no alcanza a tener la cobertura completa sobre estos esquemas de medicion y valoracion de la investigacion que permita estructurar un modelo que se ajuste mejor a los objetivos del desarrollo socioeconomico del pais, dado su enfoque eminentemente cuantitavista. Por ello nos proponemos discurrir sobre un enfoque alterno y complementario a dicho esquema, para lograr una mayor aproximacion a la medicion y valoracion de la calidad de la investigacion desde dos criterios vitales como son la pertinencia y el impacto, que estan por discutirse ampliamente en el interior de la comunidad academica del pais, bajo un enfoque mas cualitativo, que se integre adecuadamente con el enfoque cuantitativo y que apuntalen hacia lograr el mejor aporte de la investigacion al desarrollo socioeconomico del pais.
Novel charged charmoniumlike structures in the hidden-charm dipion decays of Y(4360)

Field: Physics and Astronomy (Physical Sciences)

Studying the hidden-charm dipion decays of the charmoniumlike state Y(4360), we show that there exist charged charmoniumlike structures near $D\bar{D}^*$ and $D^*\bar{D}^*$ thresholds in the $J/ψπ^+$, $ψ(2S)π^+$ and $h_c(1P)π^+$ invariant mass spectra of the corresponding hidden-charm dipion decays of Y(4360) using the {\it{Initial Single Pion Emission} mechanism}. We suggest to do further experimental study on these predicted charged enhancement structures, especially by BESIII, Belle, and the forthcoming BelleII.
The Growing Family of Limb-Girdle Muscular Dystrophies: Old and Newly Identified Members

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

Abstract Limb-girdle muscular dystrophies (LGMD) are an extremely heterogeneous and rapidly expanding group of diseases characterized by progressive weakness of pelvic, scapular and trunk muscles with sparing of facial and distal musculature in most of the subtypes, onset in childhood or in adults of both sexes, very variable clinical severity ranging from mild to severe phenotypes, some associated with cardio-pulmonary and extraskeletal impairment and high serum creatine-kinase (CK) levels. In the past years, huge advances have been recorded in the various identification methods and new distinct entities were discovered. However, it is not yet clear why some muscle groups are affected and others spared in a specific subtype of LGMD, why similar clinical pictures are associated with different genes and mutations, while the same gene or mutation may present with very various clinical phenotypes [1]. In this review we summarize the main aspects of positive and differential diagnosis in LGMD.
Pacing, Performance, and Perception in Alice Ping Yee Ho’s Angst

Field: Arts and Humanities (Social Sciences)

This paper examines how performer decisions regarding musical pacing and expressive timing can shape the communication of affective states in a musical work, through a case study of Angst (Ho, Alice Ping Yee. 2000 Ho, Alice Ping Yee. 2000. Angst. Toronto: Canadian Music Centre. [Google Scholar]. Angst. Canadian Music Centre), composed by Alice Ping Yee Ho and premiered by soprano Janice Jackson. Described by Ho as a ‘reaction to the myth of the inferiority of women’, this work for solo soprano ‘express[es] the fear and anxiety that women encounter’. Angst includes fluctuating time signatures, long-held notes of varying durations, and recurring motives that enter at unpredictable times, which, when combined, can complicate a listener's ability to discern consistent metre and/or predict future musical events.Using a video recording of Angst, I examine how Jackson's performance conveys the anxiety expressed by the protagonist. I draw on Danuta Mirka's adaptation (Mirka, Danuta. 2009 Mirka, Danuta. 2009. Metric Manipulations in Haydn and Mozart: Chamber Music for Strings, 1787–1791. Oxford: Oxford University Press.[Crossref] , [Google Scholar]. Metric Manipulations in Haydn and Mozart: Chamber Music for Strings, 1787–1791. Oxford: Oxford University Press) of Ray Jackendoff's parallel multiple-analysis model for determining metre (Jackendoff, Ray. 1991. “Musical Parsing and Musical Affect.” Music Perception 9 (2): 199-230), David Huron's theory of musical expectation (Huron, David. 2006 Huron, David. 2006. Sweet Anticipation: Music and the Psychology of Expectation. Cambridge, MA: MIT Press.[Crossref] , [Google Scholar]. Sweet Anticipation: Music and the Psychology of Expectation. Cambridge, MA: MIT Press), and Austin Patty's pacing scenarios (Patty, Austin T. 2009 Patty, Austin T. 2009. “Pacing Scenarios: How Harmonic Rhythm and Melodic Pacing Influence Our Experience of Musical Climax.” Music Theory Spectrum 31 (2): 325–367. https://doi.org/10.1525/mts.2009.31.2.325.[Crossref], [Web of Science ®] , [Google Scholar]. “Pacing Scenarios: How Harmonic Rhythm and Melodic Pacing Influence Our Experience of Musical Climax.” Music Theory Spectrum 31 (2): 325-367), and I expand on this work by discussing the affective impact of pacing. I suggest that Jackson's performance of Ho's score creates a confounding listening experience that reflects the work's themes of anxiety, fear, and realisation of power.
The Addition of Lithium to Carbamazepine

Field: Pharmacology, Toxicology and Pharmaceutics (Life Sciences)

The addition of lithium carbonate to various antidepressant agents, including heterocyclics and monoamine oxidase inhibitors, has been reported to rapidly effect an antidepressant response in otherwise treatment-unresponsive depressed patients. Fifteen depressed patients diagnosed by DSM-III criteria who had not responded to double-blind treatment with carbamazepine were treated with the blind addition of lithium to carbamazepine. Eight patients (53%) responded with a moderate to marked improvement. The time to onset of substantial clinical improvement was rapid; ie, the mean (+/- SD) was 4.1 +/- 2.4 days for lithium potentiation compared with 9.7 +/- 4.1 days in a separate group of depressed patients responding to lithium alone. Side effects during carbamazepine-lithium combination therapy were minimal. The mechanisms by which lithium appears to rapidly potentiate the effects of carbamazepine in treatment-resistant depression are discussed.
Developing Sino- Israeli Relations in the Post-Cold War Era: Analyzing Desecuritization Scenarios for Iran

Field: Social Sciences (Social Sciences)

An important feature of Israel's foreign policy in the post-Cold War era has been development of relations with emerging powers, including China. The importance of the economic component in the foreign policy of both countries, China's efforts to achieve the status of a great power, and Israel's strategies to improve its global image and regional position have brought the two countries' relations into a form of comprehensive cooperation in the post-Cold War era. Describing the relations between the two countries in the political, military and economic spheres and acknowledging the impact of China and Israel's behavior patterns on national and regional security of Iran the article seeks to answer the following questions : What are the indicators of the development of China-Israel relations in the post-Cold War era? What are the consequences of these relations for Iran? From this article's point of view, the development of China-Israel relations in all areas has been on an upward trajectory and hence have substantial implications at the national (threatening China-Iran relations in the field of energy and weakening Iran-China military relations and enfeebling Iran's position in the Silk Road project), regional (changing the balance to the detriment of Iran, Iran's containment and normalization of Arab-Israeli relations) and international levels (China's accompanying pressures on Iran, Israel's use of China's capacity in international institutions and efforts to legitimizing and reinforcing the notion of Iran's threat and continuing Iranophobia) for Iran's security.
Microcomputer Based Adaptive Control for an Electric Wheelchair Guidance System

Field: Engineering (Physical Sciences)

The control problem associated with an electric wheelchair guidance system involves the generation of the actuator commands that are required to achieve certain specified wheelchair motions. Complications arise because of the time variations which occur in the frictional and inertial characteristics of the system. This mandates the use of an adaptive controller to maintain the stability of the system and to guarantee that performance remains within prespecified bounds. An adaptive control concept known as the variable structure controller allows control coefficients to be stored in memory and appropriately retrieved; thus computational requirements are reduced and implementation on the electric wheelchair is feasible. A new design procedure is presented for the variable structure controller. Optimal control theory is utilized to develop a design for the time-invariant case. Cluster analysis techniques from pattern recognition theory are then used to develop regions in the time-variable parameter space throughout which a small set of controllers will maintain both stability and performance. Linear discriminant functions are then utilized as separating boundaries between the derived regions. An analytical model of the electric wheelchair is developed to provide a means of testing the adaptive controller. Also, a proposed implementation using state-ofthe- art microcomputer technology is presented
Syntactic variation and diglossia in French

Field: Arts and Humanities (Social Sciences)

The present article addresses syntactic variation within French, and is an example of a relatively recent shift in attitude towards variation in this language. It considers the status of the variation with respect to the mental grammars of speakers, in particular in the light of Massot’s work suggesting that contemporary metropolitan France is characterised by diglossia, that is, a community of speakers with two (in this case massively overlapping but not entirely identical) ‘French’ grammars which co-exist in their minds, one stylistically marked High, the other Low. The article reviews one particular instance of variation and argues that Massot’s model needs to be revised in order to account for the particular phenomenon of surface forms which can be generated by both putative grammars but which have a different linguistic status in each.
