Social Realities of Loss and Suffering Following Mastectomy

Field: Social Sciences (Social Sciences)

This article draws on personal accounts of women’s thoughts and feelings following mastectomy. The analysis of the material obtained in multiple, focused interviews has revealed two major themes in these accounts: on the one hand, the loss of bodily symmetry (one of the basic cultural criteria of physical beauty) was deeply felt; and on the other, peace of mind (a characteristic of psychological beauty) was permanently disturbed by the fear of the recurrence of cancer and the possibility of death. While the asymmetrical body is a potentially (socially) visible problem of presentation and representation, the fear of recurrence is a fear of the workings of the body that are not visible and not knowable. A woman who has had a breast removed will concern herself, usually in isolation, with her secret unpredictable interior. This fear will be her very own preoccupation, not only because in our society death and disease are deemed threatening and ugly – but also because the uncertainty of the health-status of a woman following mastectomy is socially (as well as medically) veiled by discourse which assumes that she is ‘well’. Though a woman may feel well, she fears that her body may not be well; yet her fear is necessarily silenced through both social denial and incongruity with experience. The article explores in some detail the nature of the stress that inevitably results in this ill-understood, complex situation.
Song Sparrow Males Use Female-Typical Vocalizations in Fall

Field: Agricultural and Biological Sciences (Life Sciences)

In many species of north temperate-zone passerines, females do not sing, but rather use female-specific calls for acoustic communication. In a resident population in Washington state, banded adult male Song Sparrows (Melospiza melodia) outside the breeding season used a vocalization (chitter call) previously believed to be used only by females. This phenomenon has not been observed previously because most field studies of temperate passerines are confined to the breeding season. In this population, juvenile males attempt to establish territories in fall when they do not yet sing fully crystallized songs. Use of female-typical vocalizations by adult males outside the breeding season may allow adults of both sexes to communicate about territories to juvenile males who cannot yet sing the full adult songs males typically use to communicate territorial boundaries.

An experimental investigation of temperature and machinability in turning of compacted graphite irons

Field: Engineering (Physical Sciences)

The life and the performance of an insert in metal cutting are mainly\ndependent on the heat that is generated in the contact zones on the tool rake\nface with chips and on the flank face with the transient and machined surfaces.\nAccording to tool life standard, the wear on the flank face is usually taken as a\ndecision for tool life. This occurs because of contact stresses, temperature and\nfriction between tool workpiece contacts. Hence, knowledge of temperature on\nthe flank face becomes important. The temperature on the flank face has\nbeen measured in this work for different CGI materials having different\nmicrostructure and physical properties in a turning operation. It has been seen\nthat there is no significant difference of flank temperature, while machining\ndifferent CGI materials having hardness from (140 to 236 HBW). For\ntemperature measurement, special inserts integrated with gold-platinum\nthermocouple on the flank face were used. It has been noticed that the materials\nhaving 31% resultant cutting force difference and six to eight times tool life\ndifference have almost same temperature on the flank face measured at\ndifferent distances from the edge line of the insert.
PRIMARY KIDNEY TUMORS BEFORE AND AFTER RENAL TRANSPLANTATION1,2

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

Three groups of patients were reviewed. Primary carcinomas were found in donors kidneys of 47 recipients. In 30 instances a tumor was present at harvesting. When a neoplasm was removed immediately pretransplantation or early posttransplantation there were no recurrences in 14 recipients. In another two instances, a tumor was not removed or was incompletely excised pretransplantation and both recipients died of metastases. Fourteen other patients received kidneys from donors in whom the opposite kidney had a malignancy. Thirteen remained tumor-free and one had allograft nephrectomy for rejection 3 months posttransplantation when a carcinoma was found. In 17 recipients an allograft neoplasm was not recognized at harvesting. In 9 it was discovered at graft nephrectomy an average of 3 months posttransplantation. In a tenth patient a hypoechogenic area, found on routine posttransplant ultrasonography, progressively increased in size and proved to be malignant. Another 7 patients developed metastases from renal carcinomas an average of 12 months posttransplantation. Preexisting carcinomas were found in 350 recipients. Seventy-one patients with incidentally discovered tumors had no recurrences no matter when nephrectomy was performed in relationship to transplantation. Of 279 patients with symptomatic renal tumors, 70 (25%) had recurrences, 63% of which occurred in patients treated ≤2 years pretransplantation. De novo cancers were found posttransplantation in 256 recipients. Renal carcinomas were 4.6% of posttransplant cancers compared with 3% of tumors in the general population. In 222 patients their own diseased kidneys were involved, in 24 tumors occurred in the allograft, and in 10 cases the site was not stated. Development of neoplasia seemed to be related not to the immunosuppressive therapy but to the underlying cause of renal failure, especially analgesic nephropathy. A disproportionate number of carcinomas (15%) involved the renal pelvis, most likely because of prior analgesic abuse.
Ionization Profile Monitors for the IOTA Proton Beam

Field: Physics and Astronomy (Physical Sciences)

Ionization profile monitors (IPMs) are widely used in accelerators for non-destructive and fast diagnostics of high energy particle beams. Two such monitors - one vertical and one horizontal - are being developed for installation in the IOTA storage ring at Fermilab. They will be used for turn-by-turn (microseconds scale) measurements of the 70 MeV/c IOTA proton beam sizes. In this paper we present the IPMs design (largely following the FNAL Booster IPMs which employ no external guiding magnetic fields), their mechanical, vacuum, and electric subsystems and DAQ, and discuss anticipated effects on the beams circulating in IOTA.
The Effect of Sequential Cues of Item Contexts in Science Assessment

Field: Social Sciences (Social Sciences)

Contextualized items have been widely used in science testing. Despite common use of item contexts, how the influence of a chosen context on the reliability and validity of the score inferences remains unclear. We focused on sequential cues of contextual information, referring to the order of events or descriptions presented in item contexts. We hypothesized that the sequence of information presented should allow students to understand the logic of an item. We proposed an approach for capturing information on three dimensions of sequential cues: sequence of events, sequence of intention and action, and sequence of cause and effect. We found that the addition of contexts increased the item difficulty. There was limited evidence that items with intention did not differ in item difficulty from those without intention. Findings for the other two dimensions was inconclusive because of the low frequency of certain item categories.
Appointment of the members of the Advisory Committee

Field: Social Sciences (Social Sciences)

To guarantee equal representation of each Member State’s interests, each CMS proposes a member with expertise in patent matters to become a member of the Advisory Committee. It is the objective of the Advisory Committee to support the members of the Administrative Committee to appoint suitable judges and admit those who are suitably qualified (Art 48 UPC) as well as advising on setting up the training framework. As the members of the Administrative members are not necessarily experienced in patent law, it is of the utmost importance that the Member States only appoint patent experts with the highest recognized competence.
Cultures of the Drug: Language, Self, and Politics in Contemporary American Drug Discourse

Field: Arts and Humanities (Social Sciences)

ABSTRACT Andrew G. Jenkins: Cultures of the Drug: Language, Self, and Politics in Contemporary American Drug Discourse (Under the direction of Christian O. Lundberg) This dissertation responds to the problems of illicit drugs in the contemporary United States. Drugs are also indivisible from the stories we tell about them. Therefore, the dissertation is at once about drugs and the stories we tell about drugs, tracing the dynamic becoming(s) of signification and materiality made to appear stable in the socio-semantic site of the drug. The dissertation shows that the terms that structure the evaluation of drugs are not neutral, but rather the product of the forceful establishment of a series of taxonomic distinctions presented as if the drug is a straightforward and inert field around which meaning can be stabilized and value secured. In opposition to commonsense understandings of drugs, the dissertation argues that prevailing definitions of drugs are ideological assays whose content is derived retroactively from moral and political evaluations of drugs. The dissertation traces the proliferative quality of drugs etymologically and conceptually through the Greek pharmakon to understand this quality as an unique mode of deconstructive potential. Pharmakon, multiply translatable as: poison or cure, or poison and cure, either singly or simultaneously, as well as ‘tint,’ ‘philter’ [a love potion], ‘remedy,’ ‘drug,’ ‘charm,’ ‘spell,’ ‘talisman,’ ‘dye,’ etc., names the deconstructive lever whereby drugs resist prevailing modes of taxonomic capture. Mobilizing cultural rhetoric and critical cultural studies, and reading across pharmacology, popular culture, ethnobotany, law, and medicine, I argue that, because of their structure as pharmaka, drugs tend to unwrite the coherence of almost every taxonomy applied to them. Foregrounding the legalization of cannabis, the Opioid Crisis, and the Psychedelic Renaissance as three loci of analysis, the dissertation argues that this pharmakological drive of drugs, which threatens the coherence of prevailing drugs discourses, is only stabilized by the emphatic assertion of a dispositif. These attempts at stabilization are inevitably unsuccessful, and more importantly, the dispositif creates second order effects on the social order, sanctioning violence and oppression. As an alternative, my study suggests sophrosyne as a practice of good character and moderation, defining good character, here, as an intentional pharmakological unwriting of the presupposition that so-called “drug ab/use” is a product of bad character
The Theological Notes and the Interpretation of Doctrine

Field: Arts and Humanities (Social Sciences)

[The author first examines the application of the qualificatio theologica or theological norm as an aid to doctrinal interpretation in Catholic neo-Scholastic theology. He then explores the emergence of related interpretive questions at Vatican II, particularly with regard to two sections of Lumen gentium. His examination suggests a hermeneutical principle for interpreting the documents of Vatican II, namely the importance of being attentive to the nature of the council as a transitional event in Catholic theology. His study also highlights the continuing need for a consistent method of qualifying doctrinal statements.]
RELATIVISTIC EFFECTS IN POLYTROPIC COMPACT STARS

Field: Physics and Astronomy (Physical Sciences)

We solve numerically the two first order differential equations obtained by Tooper for polytropic compact stars. These equations depend on the polytropic index n related to the adiabatic index Γ = 1 + 1/n and on a parameter σ that manifests the relativistic content of the polytropic equation of state (EOS). In this work we investigate the effect of increasing σ for two polytropic EOS: the case of a nonrelativistic Fermi gas (n = 1.5) and the relativistic one (n = 3.0). We show that for large values of σ, where the sound velocity is not small in comparison to the velocity of light, the matter density is more concentrated in the center of the star and as a consequence the star mass also is: this effect is quite strong in the case of the relativistic fermi gas.
Compact Point-of-Care Device for Self-Administered HIV Viral Load Tests from Whole Blood

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

Human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) is a significant problem to consider as it can lead to acquired immune deficiency syndrome (AIDS). Fortunately, AIDS is manageable through antiretroviral therapy (ART). However, frequent viral load monitoring is needed to monitor the effectiveness of the therapy. The current reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) viral load monitoring is highly effective, but is challenged by being resource-intensive and inaccessible, and its turnaround time does not meet demand. An unmet need exists for an affordable, rapid, and user-friendly point-of-care device that could revolutionize and ensure therapeutic effectiveness, particularly in resource-limited settings. In this work, we explored a point-of-care HIV viral load device to address this need. This device can perform streamlined plasma separation, viral RNA extraction, and real-time reverse transcription loop-mediated isothermal amplification (RT-LAMP) semiquantitative testing in an ultracompact device. We developed an absorption-based membrane plasma separation method suitable for finger-prick blood samples, achieving an efficiency of 80%. We also designed a syringe-based RNA extraction method for on-site plasma processing with a viral recovery efficiency of 86%. We created a portable device with a smartphone interface for real-time semiquantitative RT-LAMP, which is useful for monitoring viral load. The device uses lyophilized reagents, processed with our lyophilization method, which remain stable for 16 weeks. The device can accurately categorize viral load into low, medium, and high categories with 95% accuracy. We believe this point-of-care HIV self-test device, offering convenience and long-term storage, could aid patients in home-based ART treatment monitoring.
Do changes in regulatory requirements for energy efficiency in single-family houses result in the expected energy savings

Field: Economics, Econometrics and Finance (Social Sciences)

This paper explores how changes in regulatory requirements for energy efficiency in buildings (in the US also known as building energy codes) affect household energy consumption. The focus in this paper is on natural gas consumption by Danish single-family owner-occupied houses. Unlike most other papers investigating household energy consumption this paper uses a unique panel data set constructed by merging several administrative data bases. The data set describes house and household characteristics, outdoor temperature and actual metered natural gas consumption over 6 years (1998-2003). Applying advanced econometric methods we examine differences in heating energy consumption due to different building regulation requirements at the time of house construction.
As for the effect of the building regulation, we find that changes in Danish building regulations have led to significant reductions in energy used for heating. The latest revision of the Danish building regulation covered by this paper is that of 1998. This revision has resulted in a 7 pct. reduction in natural gas consumption. For comparison the ex ante expectation was 25 pct. reduction in heating demand
GERPM: A Geographically Weighted Stacking Ensemble Learning-Based Urban Residential Rents Prediction Model

Field: Computer Science (Physical Sciences)

Accurate prediction of urban residential rents is of great importance for landlords, tenants, and investors. However, existing rents prediction models face challenges in meeting practical demands due to their limited perspectives and inadequate prediction performance. The existing individual prediction models often lack satisfactory accuracy, while ensemble learning models that combine multiple individual models to improve prediction results often overlook the impact of spatial heterogeneity on residential rents. To address these issues, this paper proposes a novel prediction model called GERPM, which stands for Geographically Weighted Stacking Ensemble Learning-Based Urban Residential Rents Prediction Model. GERPM comprehensively analyzes the influencing factors of residential rents from multiple perspectives and leverages a geographically weighted stacking ensemble learning approach. The model combines multiple machine learning and deep learning models, optimizes parameters to achieve optimal predictions, and incorporates the geographically weighted regression (GWR) model to consider spatial heterogeneity. By combining the strengths of deep learning and machine learning models and taking into account geographical factors, GERPM aims to improve prediction accuracy and provide robust predictions for urban residential rents. The model is evaluated using housing data from Nanjing, a major city in China, and compared with representative individual prediction models, the equal weight combination model, and the ensemble learning model. The experimental results demonstrate that GERPM outperforms other models in terms of prediction performance. Furthermore, the model’s effectiveness and robustness are validated by applying it to other major cities in China, such as Shanghai and Hangzhou. Overall, GERPM shows promising potential in accurately predicting urban residential rents and contributing to the advancement of the rental market.

Abrupt emission reduction during COVID-19 intensified the spring 2020 rainfall over India

Field: Environmental Science (Physical Sciences)

The high level of aerosol pollution in South Asia has a measurable impact on clouds, radiation, and precipitation. Here, exploring multiple observational data sets and simulations of the state-of-the-art ECHAM6-HAMMOZ chemistry-climate model, we report that the reduction in anthropogenic emissions during the COVID-19 lockdown period has enhanced precipitation by 5–25% over India. This precipitation enhancement is the result of the combined effect of an enhancement in cloud cover, a reduction in aerosol induced cloud invigoration and dynamical changes. We observed that the increase in cloud cover was associated with a reduction in cloud base height and an increase in the effective radius of cloud particles which led to an increase in cloud water content. In response to sudden emission reduction, an anomalous northward moisture transport was observed adding convection and precipitation over the Indian region. Importantly, we show that there is an advantage of anthropogenic pollution reduction for water availability in addition to benefits of air quality, human health, and crop yield.
Criminal Responsibility Attribution as a Step on the Road to Desistance?

Field: Social Sciences (Social Sciences)

This chapter considers the idea of characterising criminal responsibility attribution as part of the desistance process. Though scholarship relating to the two areas rarely overlaps, there are reasons to look more closely at their theoretical intersection. For criminal responsibility scholarship, this exercise may lend force to existing arguments that seek to destabilise the rational agency paradigm underpinning state blame, in addition to foregrounding the conceptual mechanisms and significance of blame in securing and maintaining social cohesion. For desistance theory, attending to criminal responsibility attribution has the potential to bolster calls for desistance as an overarching criminal justice paradigm and broader social movement.
