Materiality and Devotion in the Poetry of George Herbert

Field: Arts and Humanities (Social Sciences)

Abstract For George Herbert, his contemporaries, and readers, material things were spiritually animated but deeply troubling. Habitual providential and typological interpretation made matter meaningful, and all of Creation interconnected; using material things was an act of interpretation, devotion an act of reading. At the same time Protestant doctrine and Church of England policy regulated the ways and conditions in which material things, bodies, and spaces might be properly used in devotion. By close reading of The Temple, other contemporary devotional and doctrinal texts, this book explores how Herbert and his readers understood, experienced, and used material objects in devotion. The Temple is built of paper and ink, of Biblical allusion, and of analogy to both physical churches and communities of believers: a material and spiritual, literal and figurative construction. Herbert’s verse carries meaning materially and spiritually, literally and figuratively; in its devotional poetics material and spiritual meanings inform one another and the readers’ devotional lives. This book focuses on three significant facets of the materiality of seventeenth-century English devotion: bodies, church buildings, and books. Part I analyses whether and how embodied performance of prayer was spiritually meaningful in the voice, in the heart, and in the postures of prayer. Part II turns to the church building, as the contested space in which public worship was practised, and the model for The Temple’s structuring metaphor. Finally, the Coda examines the book itself as a material object used in devotion, and the surface by which The Temple is read and used.
Comparative anatomical study on infundibulum of Pati and Chara-Chemballi ducks (Anas platyrhynchos domesticus) during laying periods

Field: Veterinary (Health Sciences)

Aim: The present investigation was undertaken to establish anatomical norms on gross anatomical, histomorphological and histochemical parameters of infundibulum of Pati and Chara-Chemballi ducks. Materials and Methods: In the present investigation, 12 (twelve) each Pati and Chara-Chemballi ducks in their laying period (42 weeks age) were utilized. Results: The mean length, breadth, thickness and weight of infundibulum were significantly higher in Chara-Chemballi duck than Pati duck. Though most of the histological parameters are almost similar, but the mean height of lamina epithelialis mucosae was significantly higher in Chara-Chemballi duck (30.234±0.389 µm) than in Pati duck (23.906±0.332 µm). PAS reaction was moderate at apical part of lining epithelium in Chara-Chemballi duck whereas the same is weak in Pati duck. Conclusion: Result obtained showed that the Chara-Chemballi duck revealed significant difference in all the parameters as compared to Pati duck.
U.S. European foreign policy vector (50-60s of the XX century)

Field: Social Sciences (Social Sciences)

The article argues that the United States entered the post-war world in a completely new role for the state, surpassed all other countries in the main indicators of strength – military, economic, technological and cultural. World wars turned them into the center of Western civilization, which opposed Soviet power, which secured significant spheres of influence in Eastern Europe and the Far East as a result of World War II. It is argued that the main areas of geopolitical rivalry between the two centers of power are the regions that are on the periphery of Eurasia: the clash line in Europe, the Middle and the Far East. Throughout the entire period of rivalry, the United States has transformed from an episodic into a constant factor in European politics, institutionalizing its presence in the Old World and building relations with Western European allies on the basis of “Atlantism”, “interdependence” and “burden sharing”. It was proved that the main task of the US administrations in the post-war period was the creation of a “power perimeter” around the zone of Soviet control, maintaining its functioning and further strengthening. First, its line ran in Europe, then in East Asia, and later was expanded to the Middle East, having adequate support with American military bases and military-political blocs. It is noted that the confrontation between the two superpowers took place including the alternation of conflict and cooperation, reflected the desire of the victors to consolidate the subordinate position of the defeated – mainly Germany and Japan – in the new system of international relations. Carrying out “containment” of the USSR, the USA actually implemented a policy of “double containment”, directed both against the potential strengthening of Germany and in order to maintain control over Western Europe as a whole. In this regard, the consolidation of “spheres of influence” of each of the parties preserved the results of the war, providing “silent cooperation” on issues of principle.
Critical Surface Heat Flows and the Future Evolution of Volcanism and Geothermal Power Resources on the Earth

Field: Earth and Planetary Sciences (Physical Sciences)

Relevant observations suggest that in geothermal power resources and volcanic regions in Earth the mean heat flow is either comparable or greater than the current global mean heat flow of this planet. We have inferred that critical or minimum heat flow required to sustain geothermal provinces (T &gt;1500C) is at least 90 mWm-2 and the same required to sustain active volcanoes in Earth is at least 100 mWm-2.The volcanism in Venus is found have declined significantly during the past 300 Ma. It is suggested that Earth may lose significant part of its current active volcanoes and geothermal power resources in the next 300-500 Ma if the global mean heat flow in Earth is decreasing at a rate of 5.76 mW per 100 Ma. At the current inferred maximum rate of mantle cooling (20o C per 100 Myrs) the plate tectonics in Earth is likely to cease within 750 Myrs from now. The critical mean surface heat flux for sustaining plate tectonics in Earth is inferred to be around 50-55 mW/m2.
Botulinum Toxin Injection for Retrograde Cricopharyngeal Dysfunction: A Prospective Cohort Study

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

Objectives Retrograde Cricopharyngeal Dysfunction (RCPD) is treated by botulinum toxin (BTX) injection into the cricopharyngeus. This prospective study compares the effectiveness and side effects of operating room (OR) and in‐office (IO) injections. Methods Patients over 18 years of age with inability to burp, abdominal, thoracic, or cervical gurgling sounds, bloating, and excessive flatulence were diagnosed with RCPD and included in the study. Injections were performed in the OR (80U) or IO (30U) by the senior author. An RCPD questionnaire quantifying major and minor symptoms on a Likert scale, Eating Assessment Tool‐10 (EAT‐10), and Generalized Anxiety Score−7 (GAD‐7), were completed preinjection; at 1, 2, and 3 weeks; and 3 months postoperatively. Linear mixed models were used to analyze effects of BTX injection on RCPD symptoms, the EAT‐10, and the GAD‐7. Results 108 (55 M/53F) patients completed the pretreatment survey, 53 (31 OR vs. 22 IO) completed the 3‐week follow‐up, and 36 (22 OR vs. 14 IO) completed the 3‐month questionnaire. Average posttreatment RCPD scores were significantly lower in both groups at 3 weeks and 3 months ( p < 0.0001), There was no difference between IO or OR ( p = 0.4924). GAD‐7 scores were significantly lower in both groups at week 3 ( p = 0.0018) and month 3 ( p = 0.0012). Postinjection EAT‐10 scores were significantly higher in OR compared with IO ( p = 0.0379). Conclusion OR and IO injections are equally effective in the treatment of RCPD. Postinjection dysphagia is more severe after the OR injections which may be related to higher doses of BTX used. General anxiety levels decrease with treatment. Level of Evidence 2 Laryngoscope , 134:4614–4619, 2024
Traffic sign recognition method with biologically inspired transform

Field: Computer Science (Physical Sciences)

Rotation, scaling, translation and noise (RSTN) invariant feature extraction is a valuable technique for practical traffic sign recognition. However, it is difficult to deal with rotated, scaled, translated and noised traffic sign images for conventional methods. Neurons at higher levels exhibit an increasing degree of invariance to image variation. Moreover, visual cortex response to some directional light bars strongly. In terms of these mechanisms, a biologically inspired transform (BIT) approach for traffic sign recognition is proposed in this paper. Like human visual cortex, BIT includes two stages. In the first stage, we build an orientation edge detector to highlight the edges of different directions. The orientation edge detector is primarily composed of a phase congruency based edge detector and a bipolar filter. Then, a local spatial frequency detector produce a response pixel, which also converts rotation or scaling of orientation edge into a horizontal or vertical shifted map. In the second stage, the orientation edge detector and local spatial frequency detector are performed again, which converts shifted map into an invariant pixel in the final map. We have performed some experiments to illustrate the effectiveness of the extracted invariant traffic sign features. The results provide supports for that our approach can achieve better recognition performance under rotation, scaling, translation, noise interference and even illumination diversification.

STUDENT ATHLETES RESILIENCE: THE ROLE OF PERCEIVED COACHS RESILIENCE, COACHING EFFICACY, AND SPORTS MASCULINITY

Field: Psychology (Social Sciences)

This study aimed to investigate whether perception toward coach’s resilience and coaching efficacy of coaches, as well as perceived sport’s masculinity play a role in predicting student athlete’s resilience. This study used a quantitative, predictive correlational design. The participants, as many as 201 student athletes (age of 18-23 years old), were taken using purposive sampling technique. Multiple linear regression analysis of survey questionnaire data showed that the perception toward coach’s resilience and perceived sport’s masculinity plays a significant role in predicting student athlete’s resilience. However, perception toward coaching efficacy is not able to predict it.
Effect of the first wave of COVID-19 on Poison Control Centre activities in 21 European countries: an EAPCCT initiative

Field: Health Professions (Health Sciences)

Public health emergencies often affect Poison Control Centre (PCC) operations. We examined possible effects of the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic on call volume, call characteristics, and workload in European PCCs. All 65 individual European PCCs were requested to supply data on the number of calls and call characteristics (caller, age groups, reason and specific exposures) from March to June in 2018, 2019, and 2020 (Part 1). Number of calls with specific characteristics was normalised to all calls. Calls (N) and call characteristics (%) were compared between 2020 and 2018/2019 (average), within PCCs/countries and grouped. Correlation between call volume and COVID-19 cases per PCC/country was examined. All PCCs received a survey on workload (Part 2). Parts 1 and 2 were independent. For Part 1, 36 PCCs (21 countries) supplied 26 datasheets. PCCs in the UK and in France merged data and supplied one datasheet each with national data. Summed data showed an increase of 4.5% in call volume from 228.794 in 2018/2019 (average) to 239.170 in 2020 (p < 0.001). Within PCCs/countries, calls significantly increased for 54% of PCCs/countries (N = 14/26) and decreased for 19% (N = 5/26), three of which (N = 3/5) only serve medical professionals. Correlation between call volume and COVID-19 cases was (non-significant) positive (Rho >0.7) in 5/26 PCCs/countries (19%), and negative in 6/26 (23%). Call characteristics (median proportion of grouped data in 2018/2019 vs. 2020) changed: fewer medical professionals called (40 vs. 34%, p < 0.001), calls on intentional exposures decreased (20 vs. 17%, p < 0.012), as did calls on patients between 13 and 17 years (5 vs. 4%, p < 0.05). Calls on specific exposures increased; disinfectants from 1.9 to 5.2%, and cleaning products from 4.4 to 5.7% (p < 0.001). For Part 2, 38 PCCs (24 countries) filled the survey on workload (number/length of shifts and time on PCC duties), which increased in 23/38 PCCs (61%), while 10/38 (26%) worked with fewer employees. Obtaining aggregated European PCC data proved challenging but showed an increase in overall call volume and workload during the first COVID-19 wave. Call characteristics changed including fewer calls from professionals and more calls on specific exposures. Within single PCCs/countries a variety of effects was observed.

Associations between vitamin D deficiency, diet and physical activity; and the development of gestational diabetes mellitus in Emirati women

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

Background: Gestational Diabetes Mellitus (GDM) affects 8-25% of Emirati women and its prevalence is progressively increasing in this population. Concurrently, vitamin D deficiency is a common problem among pregnant Emirati women. Existing literature suggests that vitamin D deficiency increases the risk of GDM. Objectives: to investigate the association between vitamin D deficiency, diet and physical activity and the development of GDM. Methods: A prospective cohort study was conducted on Emirati women (n=563) aged 18-45 years, who were free of GDM at baseline and underwent maternal serum screening in eight primary healthcare centers in Ras Al Khaimah, UAE. Data on demographics, physical activity (Global Physical Activity Questionnaire), diet intake (Food Frequency Questionnaire), anthropometrics and blood pressure were collected at baseline. Also, blood samples were drawn at baseline to measure the fasting blood glucose and the 25 OH D levels. GDM was screened and diagnosed by using the fasting and the75g 2-hour postprandial Oral Glucose Tolerance Test (OGTT) according to the ADA guidelines at follow up between 24th and 28th weeks of gestation. Vitamin D deficiency was diagnosed according to the NIH and NHS criteria (deficiency if 25(OH)D < 50 nmol/l = 20 ng/ml). Results: Overall, 58% and 26% of pregnant women had vitamin D deficiency and insufficiency respectively. The incidence of GDM was 15.2 %. The adjusted odds ratio (aOR) for developing GDM was 1.27 (95% [CI]: 0.74-2.18, p: 0.37) in vitamin D deficient women versus non-deficient women. The adjusted odds ratio of GDM for sitting time without work was 1.04 (95% CI: 0.92-1.16, p: 0.50). The adjusted odds ratio of GDM was significant in those who ate red meat daily (OR: 6.54, 95% CI: 1.53-27.82, p=0.011). Family history of diabetes and obesity were significant risk factors for the development of GDM (OR: 1.9, 95% CI: 1.04-3.51, p: 0.03) and (OR: 2.62, 95%CI: 1.36-5.06, p=0.004) respectively. Conclusion: In this cohort study there was no statistically significant association between vitamin D deficiency in early pregnancy and the development of GDM.
Report of the Scientific Committee of the Spanish Agency for Consumer Affairs, Food Safety and Nutrition (AECOSAN) on recommendations for physical activity within the framework of the NAOS Strategy

Field: Health Professions (Health Sciences)

The Scientific Committee of the Spanish Agency for Consumer Affairs, Food Safety and Nutrition (AECOSAN) published in 2014 a report on objectives and nutritional recommendations and physical activity to combat obesity in the framework of the NAOS Strategy, suggesting that “national strategies and intersectorial measures should be drawn up aimed at the promotion of physical activity as a beneficial agent for health in line with national legislation and practice; that is, there should be a national recommendation for physical activity to benefit health” and recommending “the establishment of a general framework in Spain containing certain general directives on the characteristics of the physical activity that each segment of the population should adopt in order to remain healthy during the different stages of their life (childhood and adolescence, adults and the elderly) and which might serve as a guide to the strategies promoted by the regional communities”. In addition, national recommendations have been presented for physical activity for health, the reduction of sedentary lifestyle and screen time for the whole population. This is the result of collaboration between the Ministry of Health, Social Services and Equality and the Ministry of Education, Culture and Sport, through the Higher Council for Sport, and within the framework of the National Health System’s Strategy for the Promotion of Health and Prevention. The Scientific Committee of AECOSAN has assessed both documents and concluded that the recommendations listed in the document “Physical activity for health and the reduction of a sedentary lifestyle. Recommendations for the population”, under the framework of the National Health System’s Strategy for the Promotion of Health and Prevention from the Ministry of Health, Social Services and Equality are in line with those made by the Scientific Committee of AECOSAN in 2014 and contain areas of interest. They may therefore be assumed within the NAOS Strategy for Nutrition, Physical Activity and Health in order to, in accordance with their objectives, promote physical activity and contribute to reversing the growing trend of obesity prevalence and, consequently, to reducing the morbidity and mortality rates attributed to chronic illness.
Refining Traceability Links between Code and Software Documents

Field: Computer Science (Physical Sciences)

Recovering traceability links between source code and software document can be very helpful for Software Maintenance and Software Reuse. Existing work has already achieved good results in extracting code elements (classes, methods, etc.) from software documents. However, it will lead to a lot of noise links if we link a document to all the code elements existing in it. In this paper, we propose an approach to identify the contextual code elements and the salient code elements in a software document, then we can weight the traceability links between source code and software document so that those noise traceability links can be filtered effectively. We measure the saliency of each code element in a document with four kinds of document-related features and three kinds of code-related features, and we adopt TransR-based code embedding technology to evaluate the distance between code elements. In the experiments, we get a precision of 70.7% in recognizing salient code elements of StackOverflow answer documents, which is more than 12% improvement compared with Rigby's work. At the same time, we can filter about 56.5%~69.3% noise traceability links compared with the RecoDoc approach. It will improve the quality of traceability links between source code and related software documents.

The Grand Tour of Europe

Field: Arts and Humanities (Social Sciences)

This article investigates the artistic Grand Tour of the nineteenth-century Danish theatre painter C.F. Christensen made between the spring of 1838 and the fall of 1839, and how it influenced his later scenographic work at the Royal Danish Theatre. Using a variety of archival sources, his Grand Tour is reconstructed. His travels through Germany, Bohemia, Moravia, Switzerland, France, Italy, and the Tyrol exposed him to some of the greatest art and most innovative theatre Europe had to offer. Through the sketches done on his trip, it is possible to see the seeds of inspiration that took root in his scenography upon his return to Copenhagen. Scenography for two August Bournonville ballets that Christensen created after his return will be analyzed: The Festival in Albano and Acts 2 and 3 of Napoli.
