Carla Harryman's Non/Representation and the Ethics of Dispersive Performance

Field: Arts and Humanities (Social Sciences)

Contemporary poet's theater audiences might best be characterized by rupture: each member experiences an individual identification in the collective space of the theater. This essay takes a closer look at this audience formation through the work of Carla Harryman, a poet-playwright associated with the San Francisco branch of what has become known as L=A=N=G=U=A=G=E writing. Harryman's 2008 work Mirror Play weaves together poetic experimentalism with references to the U.S.'s role in the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, to the Gulf War, and to the 1968 campy intergalactic anti-war movie Barbarella. She employs poet's theater conceptually as a means of rethinking our engagement with political narratives. The result is an interpretive community marked, paradoxically, by discontinuity and dispersion. Portraying an America defined not by physical borders but by complex military, economic, cultural, and political relationships, Harryman's work plays through the ways in which these relationships are constructed and maintained. emerges is not an interpretive free-for-all but rather an embodiment of the ethical dilemma in the postmodern era--the contradiction, as Geoffrey Galt Harpham puts it, between How ought one to live? and What ought I to do?, between generalizable norms and individual acts in actual (and unique) situations.
Patient Experiences of Self-Management for Chronic Low Back Pain: A Qualitative Study

Field: Health Professions (Health Sciences)

Abstract Objective Chronic low back pain (CLBP) is a lifelong condition causing disability and distress. One aim of treatment is to enhance self-management. To date, self-management interventions have had limited effectiveness. A greater understanding of self-management for CLBP has the potential to improve future interventional trials. The purpose of this study was to identify the experience of CLBP self-management for patients attending outpatient physical therapy and assess how the experience of CLBP self-management changes over time. Methods This qualitative study used constructivist grounded theory. Patients with CLBP who were attending an outpatient physical therapy department were recruited using convenience sampling. Each participant attended a semistructured interview. These were audio recorded and transcribed verbatim. The data were coded and thematically analyzed by the lead researcher. Recruitment continued until data saturation. Participants reviewed preliminary themes for validation. Results Six subthemes emerged from 9 interviews: (1) self-doubt, (2) coping day to day, (3) independent discovery, (4) developing resilience, (5) health care: opportunity and threat, and (6) living with pain differently. Two themes took on greatest significance. Self-doubt appeared most strongly and was prevalent in all experiences. However, living with pain differently appeared in those who had developed a level of pain acceptance. These themes formed a conceptual model, “Fluctuating Uncertainty.” Conclusion The experience of CLBP self-management is one of fluctuating self-doubt. Self-doubt is the predominant experience and is characterized by the perception of pain as a threat and low pain self-efficacy. During times of greater clarity, individuals develop strategies that increase pain self-efficacy and reinforce the perception of pain without threat. These are features of learning to live well with pain. Impact CLBP is a lifelong condition requiring self-management. The current study characterizes the self-management strategies used by patients attending physical therapy. The fluctuating nature of these strategies is dependent upon perception of pain and pain self-efficacy. Lay Summary People with CLBP who self-manage their pain fluctuate between attempting to control pain and learning to live with pain. People who understand their condition develop wider-ranging self-management strategies.
2012-LB: Type 2 Diabetes GWAS Signal C2CD4A/B Insulin Resistance Mechanisms in Skeletal Muscle

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

Mechanisms of insulin action differ between fasting and postprandial states across tissues, with postprandial disturbance in insulin action being crucial in the development of type 2 diabetes (T2D). We generated single nucleus (sn-) chromatin accessibility and transcriptome profiles of 287 skeletal muscle biopsies from the FUSION Tissue Biopsy Study. These data found chromatin accessibility quantitative trait loci (caQTL) in muscle fibers colocalized with a T2D GWAS signal and a recently identified C2CD4A/B GWAS signal for insulin fold change (IFC) (coloc PP H4 = 0.969). This chromatin accessibility peak had previously been identified in an islet stretch enhancer and implicated C2CD4A/B in islet dysfunction. However, there has been no formal colocalization with any current islet QTL signals. In our skeletal muscle data, chromatin looping models nominated VPS13C as a candidate target gene. VPS13C encodes a lipid transfer protein. A previous study showed that VPS13C knockdown in an adipocyte cell model decreased insulin-induced translocation and cell-surface abundance of the glucose transporter, GLUT4, thereby implicating this candidate target gene in insulin resistance (IR) mechanisms. We hypothesize that VPS13C modulates IR and T2D risk in skeletal muscle in a cell-type and cell-state-specific manner. We are evaluating the allele-specific activity of the caQTL regulatory element with luciferase reporter assays in the LHCN-M2 human skeletal myoblast cell line. The chromatin looping models predict low contact with the VPS13C transcription start site for the risk allele. Reporter assay results that support this model would suggest a role for VPS13C in glucose uptake mechanisms in skeletal muscle fibers. Moreover, we are generating gene co-expression networks of the sn-transcriptome profiles to identify the network relationships of VPS13C. Collectively, these results will help illuminate the context-specific risk mechanisms at the C2CD4A/B T2D and IR GWAS locus. Disclosure I.L. Epelle: None. A. Varshney: None. P. Orchard: None. Z.

Sexual Assault Case Processing: The More Things Change, the More They Stay the Same

Field: Social Sciences (Social Sciences)

One of the goals of the United Nations Commission on the Status of Women is to end violence against women and girls in all countries. An important component of this goal is ensuring that all crimes of violence against women and girls are taken seriously by the criminal justice system and that police, prosecutors, judges and jurors respond appropriately. However, research detailing how cases of sexual assault proceed in the criminal justice system reveals that this goal remains elusive, both in the United States and elsewhere. The rape reform movement ushered in changes to traditional rape law that were designed to encourage victims to report to the police and to remove barriers to arrest and successful prosecution. However, four decades after this reform, victims are still reluctant to report sexual assaults to the police, and arrest, prosecution and conviction rates for sexual assault cases are shockingly low. Reversing these trends will require policy changes that are designed to counteract the stereotypes and myths underpinning sexual assault and sexual assault victims.
Disabilities and Disparities in Oral Health-Related Quality of Life: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis in Saudi Arabia

Field: Health Professions (Health Sciences)

Background and Objectives: In Saudi Arabia, persons with disabilities (PWDs) face considerable oral health challenges, including a higher prevalence of dental caries and gingival inflammation, which adversely affects their oral health-related quality of life (OHRQoL). This population experiences distinct and substantial barriers in accessing adequate dental care. This systematic review and meta-analysis aims to quantify disparities in OHRQoL between PWDs and individuals without disabilities in Saudi Arabia, focusing on caries and gingivitis prevalence, and to identify specific areas for intervention. Materials and Methods: A structured search of PubMed, Scopus, Web of Science, and Google Scholar yielded 803 articles, of which seven met the inclusion criteria. These studies reported on OHRQoL and oral health outcomes in populations with autism, Down syndrome, cerebral palsy, and hearing impairments. Data on caries rates, gingival health, and self- or caregiver-reported quality of life were extracted and analysed. Results: PWDs in Saudi Arabia exhibit significantly higher caries prevalence (ranging from 60% to over 80%) and moderate-to-severe gingival inflammation (up to 60%) compared to individuals without disabilities. The caregivers of children with disabilities reported heightened stress levels, and PWDs experienced reduced functional and social well-being. These disparities were compounded by limited preventive care access and high unmet treatment needs, particularly among those with severe disabilities and limited caregiver support. Conclusions: PWDs in Saudi Arabia face marked oral health disparities, with notably higher rates of dental caries and gingivitis, severely impacting their quality of life. The findings underscore the need for targeted oral health policies and community-based interventions to enhance care accessibility, promote preventive measures, and address the unique needs of this vulnerable population.
Evaluation of Dimilin-25W for Rice Water Weevil Control, 1987

Field: Agricultural and Biological Sciences (Life Sciences)

Abstract The experiment was conducted at the Texas A&M University Agricultural Research and Extension Center at Beaumont. The design was a randomized complete block with 5 treatments and 4 replications. Each plot was 6 × 13 ft and surrounded by a metal barrier to prevent contamination among plots. Plots were fertilized 22 May with urea at 110 lb nitrogen/acre. Rice was broadcast in each plot 22 May at 100 lb seed/acre. The plots were flooded 22 May and drained 24 h later. Propanil was applied at 3.0 lb (AI)/acre on 29 May and 16 Jun. On 19 Jun the permanent flood was established and maintained to maturity. Before the onset of the permanent flood and after the first irrigation on 23 May, additional irrigations were applied when the soil cracked from drying. On 9 Jul at panicle initiation, 60 lb nitrogen/acre in the form of urea was applied. Three and 9 days after the onset of the permanent flood, the Dimilin 25W treatments were applied with an atomizer supplied with COa propellant using a spray volume of 10 gal/acre. Furadan 3G was applied at 0.6 lb (AI)/acre 7 days after the onset of the permanent flood using a hand-held shaker. From 10 Jul to 20 Jul, 10 soil cores (4 inches diam × 4 inches deep) containing 1 plant/core were randomly selected and removed from each plot. Plants were washed in a 40-mesh screen bucket, and rice water weevil larvae and pupae were recovered and counted. Washed plants were measured for height, root length, and number of tillers and leaves. Plots were harvested at maturity on 25 Sep.
Maximizing Contents of Phytochemicals Obtained from Dried Sour Cherries by Ultrasound-Assisted Extraction

Field: Agricultural and Biological Sciences (Life Sciences)

Sour cherries were first dried by vacuum drying and then used as material for obtaining extracts rich in bioactive compounds by ultrasound-assisted extraction (UAE). The first step was to apply a factorial design for the preliminary experiments to determine the most influential UAE factors, and thus the three studied parameters were chosen as the most suitable for the design of the main experiment (temperature, liquid–solid ratio and ethanol concentration). In this part, the contents of total phenols and the total content of monomeric anthocyanins were taken for responses. For the further optimization of UAE, experimental design (face-centered) was applied, and the yield, total phenolics, flavonoid content and content of monomeric anthocyanins and antioxidant activity (DPPH, ABTS and FRAP assays) were analyzed. Temperature (40–80 °C), ethanol concentration (40–80%, w/w) and liquid–solid ratio (10–30 mL/g) were investigated as independent variables. The obtained experimental results were fitted to a second-order polynomial model and analysis of variance was used to determine the fit of the model and the optimal conditions for investigated responses. High quality extracts with high concentrations of polyphenols and anthocyanins were also obtained, which could be used as food additives.
Durkheim in the Neoliberal Organization : Taking Resistance and Solidarity Seriously

Field: Social Sciences (Social Sciences)

Durkheim's contributions to organization studies have so far been decidedly marginal, and largely concentrated on culture. In this paper, we draw upon his theory of anomie and solidarity to show how a Durkheimian view of contemporary organizations and work has special relevance today for debates about how workers, particularly middle managers, can reshuffle a capacity to resist neoliberal efforts to profoundly disrupt their working conditions, in particular their autonomy to define what is a job well done. We show how Durkheim's insights can account for the unexpected rekindling of forms of social solidarity in highly competitive and individualistic organizational settings, through dissident efforts that convey a renewal of a certain work ethos severed by neoliberal managerial policies and practices. Recent studies on resistance confirm Durkheim's view that forms of collective activity, resembling supposedly ‘old' mechanisms of former days, continue to exist and develop in contemporary societies and organizations, in response to pressure to put people in situations of inter-individual competition that disrupts social relationships.
Analysis of the Glutamate Agonist LY404,039 Binding to Nonstatic Dopamine Receptor D2 Dimer Structures and Consensus Docking

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

Dopamine receptor D2 (D2R) plays an important role in the human central nervous system and is a focal target of antipsychotic agents. The D2HighR and D2LowR dimeric models previously developed by our group are used to investigate the prediction of binding affinity of the LY404,039 ligand and its binding mechanism within the catalytic domain. The computational data obtained using molecular dynamics simulations fit well with the experimental results. The calculated binding affinities of LY404,039 using MM/PBSA for the D2HighR and D2LowR targets were -12.04 and -9.11 kcal/mol, respectively. The experimental results suggest that LY404,039 binds to D2HighR and D2LowR with binding affinities (Ki) of 8.2 and 1640 nM, respectively. The high binding affinity of LY404,039 in terms of binding to [3H]domperidone was inhibited by the presence of a guanine nucleotide, indicating an agonist action of the drug at D2HighR. The interaction analysis demonstrated that while Asp114 was among the most critical amino acids for D2HighR binding, residues Ser193 and Ser197 were significantly more important within the binding cavity of D2LowR. Molecular modeling analyses are extended to ensemble docking as well as structure-based pharmacophore model (E-pharmacophore) development using the bioactive conformation of LY404,039 at the binding pocket as a template and screening of small-molecule databases with derived pharmacophore models.
Effect of Patient Transfer on Outcomes after Open Repair of Ruptured Abdominal Aortic Aneurysms

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

Patients with ruptured abdominal aortic aneurysms (RAAAs) benefit from treatment in high-volume facilities. This study explored the effect of patient transfer on outcomes and the relationship between hemodynamic status and mortality. We performed a retrospective review of 83 consecutive patients who had open repair for RAAA at a single tertiary facility. The patients were divided into two groups based on arrival in the local emergency department, “local” ( n = 44) versus “transfer” ( n = 39) from an outside institution, and into three categories of hemodynamic status: (a) no obtainable blood pressure, “pulseless”; (b) requiring vasopressor support, “pressors”; and (c) no vasopressor support, “no pressors.” Thirty-day mortality was 21.4%. There was no difference in mortality between the local (18.2%) and transfer (25.6%) patients ( p = .41). There were no deaths during transfer. There was no difference in the hemodynamic status of the transfer versus the local group ( p = .34). The mortality by category was pulseless, 100% (3 of 3); pressors, 71.4% (10 of 14); and no pressors, 7.6% (5 of 66) ( p < .0001). Actuarial survival was 66%, 64%, and 62% at 1, 3, and 5 years, respectively. Patient transfer does not adversely affect mortality after RAAA repair. Patients without a palpable pulse and those requiring hemodynamic support have a significantly higher mortality.
SH1715622.08FU

Field: Agricultural and Biological Sciences (Life Sciences)

UNITE provides a unified way for delimiting, identifying, communicating, and working with DNA-based Species Hypotheses (SH). All fungal ITS sequences in the international nucleotide sequence databases are clustered to approximately the species level by applying a set of dynamic distance values (<0.5 - 3.0%). All species hypotheses are given a unique, stable name in the form of a DOI, and their taxonomic and ecological annotations are verified through distributed, web-based third-party annotation efforts. SHs are connected to a taxon name and its classification as far as possible (phylum, class, order, etc.) by taking into account identifications for all sequences in the SH. An automatically or manually designated sequence is chosen to represent each such SH. These sequences are released (https://unite.ut.ee/repository.php) for use by the scientific community in, for example, local sequence similarity searches and next-generation sequencing analysis pipelines. The system and the data are updated automatically as the number of public fungal ITS sequences grows.
Necrosis of the Penis with Multiple Vessel Atherosclerosis

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

Penile necrosis is a very rare complication because of its rich collateral supply. Conservative management is apt to be ineffective; thus penectomy is usually performed. We present a case of penile necrosis and claudication of both legs with multiple atherosclerosis in a type II diabetes mellitus patient who was successfully treated with angioplasty, penoplasty, and additional intracavernous injections of prostaglandin E1. The treatment resulted in relief of the leg pain and healing of the penile ischemic lesions.
Professional environmental stress among dental and engineering students in Bhilai, Chhattisgarh, Central India: A comparative cross-sectional study

Field: Health Professions (Health Sciences)

Background: Students undertaking professional courses such as medical, dental, and engineering are subjected to higher stress resulting in psychological problems such as depression and anxiety. This may be attributed to various factors such as academic, social events, health-related, and personal issues. Aim: This study aims to assess and compare professional environmental stress between dental and engineering students in Bhilai, Chhattisgarh. Methodology: A Modified Dental Environmental Stress Survey Questionnaire comprising 24 questions was pretested and administered among 316 students (115 dental and 201 engineering) to compare the professional environmental stress across stressor domains such as academic performance, faculty relations, personal issues, and professional identity. Descriptive statistics and independent sample t-test were applied using IBM Corporation SPSS version 23 program (New York, USA). P ≤ 0.05 was considered as statistically significant. Results: Final year dental students reported higher stress than third year students with mean scores 34.91 ± 4.55 and 32.34 ± 5.36, respectively (P < 0.01). Final year engineering students experienced higher stress than third year students with mean scores 31.84 ± 4.29 and 29.86 ± 4.14, respectively (P < 0.01). Dental students reported higher stress than engineering students with mean scores 33.66 ± 5.10 and 30.78 ± 4.31, respectively (P < 0.01). Conclusion: This study gives the glimpse of factors creating stressful environment among the two science fields, the elimination of which will result in higher productivity and student-friendly environment for higher studies. The results were indicating that the intervention is necessary for psychological well-being of the students. Henceforth effective means of reducing stress should be explored together with determining emphatic methods of coping with the tensions.
Effect of row spacing and plant population on maize yield and quality.

Field: Agricultural and Biological Sciences (Life Sciences)

The effects of row spacing and plant population on maize yield and quality (bulk density, thousand kernel mass) were examined in three different environments (Waikato, Hawke's Bay and Manawatu). Two maize hybrids differing in maturity (hyb. 36H36, medium season and hyb. Raissa, short season) were grown at seven populations (70, 80, 90, 100, 110, 120 and 140 thousand plants/ha) and a range of row spacings. In the Waikato and Manawatu, crops were grown at standard (75 cm) and narrow (50 cm) rows. A 25 cm row spacing was added in Hawke's Bay. Every combination of these treatments was applied in a fully randomised design at each location. In general, the influence of row spacing on maize yield and quality was minimal and inconsistent. By contrast, the effects of population on yield and quality were significant and generally predictable. There was no significant effect of row spacing on any component of yield or quality for crops grown at 'normal' plant populations (ea 90,000 plants/ha). Consequently, the results from this limited set of experiments suggest that, at the current 'standard' population, there is no benefit from narrow (25 or 50 cm rows) compared with standard (75 cm) row spacing. By contrast, increasing the population significantly increased yield (by an average 7% for every additional 10,000 plants/ha) up to a plateau that usually occurred at ea 120,000 plants/ha. Thousand kernel mass consistently declined with increased population (by about 1 g for every additional 10,000 plants/ha) whereas the response of bulk density to population was less predictable, and varied from nil to negative. There was consequently only a very small probability of economic benefit associated with narrower rows, but considerable scope for improving profitability by $100-1000/ha through adopting higher than current plant populations.
OS0201 Effect of Argon Pressure and Bias Voltage on Properties of Sputtered Niobium Sulfide Films

Field: Materials Science (Physical Sciences)

Sputtered niobium sulfide films having various argon contents, interplanar spacing and internal stresses were prepared by various argon pressures and positive bias voltage on stainless substrate during rf sputtering. The films were investigated by EPMA and XRD. Internal stress of films was derived from curvature of substrate with film. The obtained results are as follows: The sputtered films form rhombohedral crystal structure. An increase of argon pressure or bias voltage brings about decrease of argon contents, (00・3) interplanar spacing and internal stress in sputtered film.
