Silencing trans voices

Field: Social Sciences (Social Sciences)

In recent years, conservatives in the United States have deployed a transgender moral panic attacking the place of trans people in public spaces. This article explores how this panic has been supported by an effort to purge trans-inclusive literature from education spaces, such as schools and libraries, in the United States. Utilizing a unique set of materials, I identify the common discourses developed by anti-trans activists. By eliminating trans stories, anti-trans activists seek to erase even the possibility of trans happiness from the realm of imagination.
Use of Ablation Index-Guided Ablation Results in High Rates of Durable Pulmonary Vein Isolation and Freedom From Arrhythmia in Persistent Atrial Fibrillation Patients

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

Background Catheter ablation for persistent atrial fibrillation (AF) is associated with less favorable outcomes than for paroxysmal AF. Substrate modification is often added to pulmonary vein isolation (PVI) to try to improve success rates. Recent studies have shown improved clinical outcomes with use of regional ablation index (AI) targets for PVI. We hypothesized that prospective use of AI-guided PVI in persistent AF patients would result in a low rate of PV reconnection at repeat electrophysiology study and that a high success rate can be achieved with durable PVI alone. Methods Forty consecutive patients with persistent AF underwent AI-guided PVI with target values of 550 for anterior and 400 for posterior left atrial regions, followed by a protocol-mandated repeat procedure after 2 months. Patients were monitored for atrial tachyarrhythmia recurrence via daily plus symptom-initiated ECG recordings for 12 months. Recurrence was defined as ≥30 seconds of any atrial tachyarrhythmia after a 3-month blanking period. Results PV reconnection was seen at repeat electrophysiology study in 22% of patients, affecting 7% of PVs. Ablation on the intervenous carina was required in 44% patients to achieve durable PVI. Atrial tachyarrhythmia recurrence was documented in 8 (20%) patients, only one of whom had PV reconnection at repeat study. At 12 months, 38/40 (95%) patients were in sinus rhythm, with 4 (10%) patients having started antiarrhythmic drugs. Higher body mass index and excess alcohol consumption were the only significant factors associated with atrial tachyarrhythmia recurrence. Conclusions Use of AI targets results in a high level of durable PVI. A good clinical outcome can be achieved in the great majority of persistent AF patients with AI-guided PVI alone.

“. . . If You’re Not Part of the Institution You Fall by the Wayside”: Service Providers’ Perspectives on Moving Young Men From Disconnection and Isolation to Connection and Belonging

Field: Social Sciences (Social Sciences)

There have been increasing calls for more gender-specific service provision to support young men’s (20-29 years) mental health and well-being. In Ireland, young men are the demographic group that are most likely to die by suicide but among the least likely to seek help. This study sought to investigate service providers’ perspectives on the factors that support or inhibit young men from engaging in services targeted at supporting their mental/emotional well-being. Qualitative methodologies (focus groups, n = 9; interviews, n = 7) were used for this study. Disconnection from family and community was identified as a key indicator of “at-risk” groups of young men who, more typically, had experienced significant disruption in their lives. The discord between demands and expectations facing young men on one hand, and insufficient life-management and coping skills on the other, left many young men vulnerable and bereft. The desire to save face and preserve one’s masculine identity was linked to young men’s reluctance to seek help when feeling down. There was a strong consensus that there could be no shortcuts to [re]connecting with young men. While sport, technology, and social media were cited as appropriate media in which to engage young men, the essence of sustained connection revolved around creating safety, trust, rapport, and meaningful relationships. The findings from this study have informed the development of a Train the Trainer program (“Connecting with Young Men”), which is currently being delivered to service providers in Ireland and which may have implications for service provision elsewhere.
Effects of sleep status on renal function in patients with chronic kidney disease: a systematic review

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

Objective: To systematically evaluate the effects of sleep status on renal function in patients \nwith chronic kidney disease (CKD). Methods: To search the relevant literature related to \nthe effects of sleep status on renal function of CKD patients on PubMed database, EMBase \ndatabase, the Cochrane Library database, CNKI database, Chinese Biomedical Literature \nDatabase, VIP and Wanfang database from the initial to June 2018, all literature that met \nthe criteria were included. According to the type of studies, the quality of the literature was \nevaluated by NOS scale in the cohort study and AHRQ scale in the cross-sectional study, and \nsystematically evaluated the outcome indicators, the main outcome indicators were estimated \nglomerular filtration rate (eGFR) and endogenous creatinine clearance rate (Ccr), while the \nsecondary indicators were Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI), Sleep Quality (SQ), Serum \nCreatinine (Scr), Hemoglobin (Hb), Albumin (ALB) and Urine Protein/Creatinine Ratio \n(UPCR). Results: Four literature and one meeting abstract were included in this study, of \nwhich four were cohort studies, three of them the NOS quality evaluations were high, one \nof them was medium, the remaining one was cross-sectional study, and the AHRQ quality \nevaluation was medium. This study shows that sleep status has a certain correlation with renal \nfunction. Shorter sleep time or poor sleep quality can lead to deterioration of renal function. \nAmong them, the research data of Sabbatinit research team in Italy showed that Ccr gradually \ndecreased with the increased of the PSQI; studies of Cohen research team and the Ricardo \nresearch team in the United States showed that eGFR decreased with the increased of the \nPSQI; the study of Kumar research team in the United States showed that the lower SQ , the \nworse renal function; the study of Knutson’ research team in British showed that the shorter \nsleep time, the lower eGFR. In addition, studies showed that sleep index also has influence \non Hb, ALB, Scr, UPCR and other indicators. Conclusion: Sleep status can affect the renal \nfunction of CKD patients in different degrees. Shorter sleep time and poor sleep quality will \ndamage renal function and accelerate the progress of CKD.
Genome-based microorganism classification using coalition formulation game

Field: Computer Science (Physical Sciences)

Genome-based microorganism classification is the one of interesting issues in microorganism taxonomy. However, the advance in sequencing technology requires a low-complex algorithm to process a great amount of bio sequence data. In this paper, we suggest a coalition formation game for microorganism classification, which can be implemented in distributed manner. We extract word frequency feature from microorganism sequences and formulate the coalition game model that considers the distance among word frequency features. Then, we propose a coalition formation algorithm for clustering microorganisms with feature similarity. The performance of proposed algorithm is compared with that of conventional schemes by means of an experiment. According to the result, we showed that the correctness of proposed distributed algorithm is similar to that of conventional centralized schemes.
Warning Signs: Intravenous Drug Abuse Among American Indians/Alaskan Natives

Field: Health Professions (Health Sciences)

SUMMARY. The AIDS pandemic has called attention to the existence of intravenous drug abuse among American Indians/Alaskan Natives. Epidemiological data on AIDS and attitudinal surveys provide e evidence that IV drug abuse is occurring in American Indian/Alaskan Native communities. There is a need for ongoing research into the prevalence of IV drug abuse in the American Indian/Alaskan Native population. Existing alcoholism treatment programs for Native Americans must be expanded to treat non-alcohol and polysubstance abuse. HIV education and outreach must be initiated with American Indian/Alaskan Native IV drug abusers.
Lavandin (Lavandula × intermedia Emeric ex Loiseleur) essential oil from Spain: determination of aromatic profile by gas chromatography–mass spectrometry, antioxidant and lipoxygenase inhibitory bioactivities

Field: Pharmacology, Toxicology and Pharmaceutics (Life Sciences)

Lavandin (Lavandula × intermedia Emeric ex Loiseleur) essential oils (EOs), from Abrial, Super and Grosso cultivars, cultivated and extracted in the South East of Spain, were analysed by using GC/MS to determine their composition, in both relative (peak area) and absolute (using standard curves) concentrations. Linalool (34–47%), linalyl acetate (17–34%), camphor (4–9%) and eucalyptol (3–7%) were determined as the main molecules. This characterisation was completed with the enantioselective gas chromatography, where ( − )-linalool, (+)-camphor and ( − )-linalyl acetate were determined as the main components. Antioxidant activity was evaluated positively by several methods: activity against free radicals, chelating and reducing power, probably due to linalool and linalyl acetate. Mild inhibitory activity on lipoxygenase was observed supporting potential anti-inflammatory activity, mainly due to linalool and camphor. These properties support the potential use of L. × intermedia essential oils as natural cosmetic and natural pharmaceutical ingredient to fight several skin diseases.
Variational Source Conditions and Conditional Stability Estimates for Inverse Problems in PDEs

Field: Mathematics (Physical Sciences)

Inverse Probleme befassen sich mit der Schätzung eines Parameters aus indirekten Messungen. Die Messung ist üblicherweise fehlerbehaftet während die Identifizierung des Parameters aus der Messung schlecht gestellt (d.h. unstetig) ist. Daher kommen zur Schätzung des Parameters Regularisierungsverfahren zum Einsatz, die diese Faktoren einbeziehen, um eine stabile Rekonstruktion zu erhalten. Um jedoch eine Abschätzung des Rekonstruktionsfehlers zu erhalten werden Zusatzannahmen an den zu Grunde liegenden Parameter benötigt. Diese werden üblicherweise in Form von sogenannten Variationellen Quellbedingungen formuliert. In dieser Doktorarbeit wird eine Strategie zur Verifizierung dieser Bedingungen entwickelt, die auf der Glattheit des Parameters und der Schlechtgestelltheit des Problems beruht; dabei wird ausgenutzt, dass letztere Ähnlichkeiten zu Stabilitätsabschätzungen aufweist. Anschließend wird diese Strategie eingesetzt um Variationelle Quellbedingungen für Probleme in der Parameteridentifikation, inversen Streutheorie sowie elektrischen Impedanztomographie nachzuweisen.
NN2CAM: Automated Neural Network Mapping for Multi-Precision Edge Processing on FPGA-Based Cameras

Field: Computer Science (Physical Sciences)

The record-breaking achievements of deep neural networks (DNNs) in image classification and detection tasks resulted in a surge of new computer vision applications during the past years. However, their computational complexity is restricting their deployment to powerful stationary or complex dedicated processing hardware, limiting their use in smart edge processing applications. We propose an automated deployment framework for DNN acceleration at the edge on field-programmable gate array (FPGA)-based cameras. The framework automatically converts an arbitrary-sized and quantized trained network into an efficient streaming-processing IP block that is instantiated within a generic adapter block in the FPGA. In contrast to prior work, the accelerator is purely logic and thus supports end-to-end processing on FPGAs without on-chip microprocessors. Our mapping tool features automatic translation from a trained Caffe network, arbitrary layer-wise fixed-point precision for both weights and activations, an efficient XNOR implementation for fully binary layers as well as a balancing mechanism for effective allocation of computational resources in the streaming dataflow. To present the performance of the system we employ this tool to implement two CNN edge processing networks on an FPGA-based high-speed camera with various precision settings showing computational throughputs of up to 337GOPS in low-latency streaming mode (no batching), running entirely on the camera.

Field: Engineering (Physical Sciences)

This paper presents a balanced dipole antenna fed by coplanar strips for dual-band applications. The bandwidths can be determined from return loss which was less than 10 dB. The operation in the WLAN frequency bands were 2.40-2.484 GHz and 5.15-5.35 GHz, respectively. Moreover, the antenna is a simple planar structure and occupies a small size of about 48 mm × 16 mm including the finite ground coplanar strip line feeding.
ETIOLOGY AND PROPER MANAGEMENT OF BRONCHITIS IN ADULT

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

Bronchitis is the widespread inflectional disease. This article focuses on the newest evidence-based management approaches of it. Furthermore, etiology, symptoms and pathophysiology are emphasized. We conducted a systemic review study that performed through Comprehensive literature search was performed in MEDLINE/PubMed and Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials. Cough is one of the most prevalent signs and symptom bringing patients to the primary care physician's workplace, and acute bronchitis is normally the medical diagnosis in these patients. Acute bronchitis must be distinguished from other usual medical diagnoses, such as pneumonia and asthma, because these conditions may require particular therapies not showed for bronchitis. Symptoms of bronchitis normally last regarding three weeks. The existence or absence of colored (e.g., environment-friendly) sputum does not reliably set apart in between bacterial and viral reduced breathing tract infections. Viruses are responsible for greater than 90 percent of acute bronchitis infections.
Sports Commentators and Late Monopoly Capitalist Indoctrination in the United States

Field: Social Sciences (Social Sciences)

ABSTRACT: This ideological study describes how sports commentary ‘layered ’ on top of team sporting events serves as a late monopoly capitalist mass indoctrination method in the United States of America. Despite a general consensus to the contrary, popular team sporting events which employ sports commentators are not politically, economically, or socially neutral events. The mass media and semi-monopolistic oligarchic corporate structures use sports commentators to politically charge sporting events in order to subtly program the viewing population to accept late monopoly capitalist ideological tenets and norms, including the illusion that social mobility, wealth, status, and power are open to all who choose to compete and are victorious over their peers within a fair and level competitive playing field which represents the “free ” marketplace. In an ideological distortion of fundamental material reality, late monopoly capitalistic norms and ideas are superimposed over events occurring on the field of play or in the news to teach viewers how they should act and what they should believe. Late monopoly capitalist indoctrination embedded within modern sports commentary and the news is particularly effective because of its subtle nature.
Role of statin pleiotropism in acute coronary syndromes and stroke.

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

Several landmark clinical trials have demonstrated the benefit of lipid-lowering with statins for the primary and secondary prevention of coronary heart disease. The clinical data in support of lowering cholesterol by statins are unequivocal. The established mechanism of action is via sterol regulatory element binding protein (SREBP) activation due to reduced hepatic cholesterol synthesis and secondary upregulation of the low-density lipoprotein (LDL)-receptor, leading to enhanced clearance of circulating cholesterol and lipids. Although it is widely accepted that most clinical benefit obtained with statins is a direct result of their lipid-lowering properties, there is still some debate as to whether the so-called 'pleiotropic effects' of statins contribute to the clinical outcome in vascular disease, or whether all the beneficial effects of statins are simply due to lipid-lowering. For example, these agents appear to display additional cholesterol-independent effects on various aspects of cardiovascular disease, including improving endothelial function, decreasing vascular inflammation and enhancing plaque stability. Thus, further studies are needed to understand the full impact of statin therapy on each of these processes and whether these effects contribute to the clinical benefits of statins in acute coronary syndromes and stroke.
Effects of pimobendan and UD-CG-212 CL on calcium exchange and contraction in isolated rabbit aorta.

Field: Pharmacology, Toxicology and Pharmaceutics (Life Sciences)

The effects of pimobendan and its O-demethylmetabolite UD-CG-212 CL on contractile responses and transmembrane Ca fluxes were studied on rabbit isolated aortic rings. Both pimobendan and UD-CG-212 CL (10(-7) M-5 X 10(-4) M) concentration-dependently inhibited the contractile responses induced by KCl (80 mM) and noradrenaline (10(-6) M). This inhibitory effect was observed when these compounds were added either before or after the induced contractions, but was reduced in aortic rings after removal of endothelium. Pimobendan and UD-CG-212 CL shifted the concentration-response curve to noradrenaline downwards and to the right and inhibited the contractile responses elicited by addition of Ca (1-5 mM) to Ca-free high K solution. Pimobendan also inhibited the contractile responses induced by caffeine (20 mM) in aortic rings incubated in normal or in Ca-free medium. At 5 X 10(-4) M, pimobendan inhibited 45Ca influx in resting as well as in aortic rings stimulated by high K and noradrenaline and increased the rate of 45Ca efflux in nonstimulated aortae. It is concluded that pimobendan and its O-dimethylmetabolite UD-CG-212 CL exhibit vasodilator properties in the isolated rabbit aorta by their acting at multiple sites of action, thus decreasing the availability of Ca required for smooth muscle activation.
The Ultrastructure of Infrared Receptors in a Boid Snake, Python regius: Evidence for Periodic Regeneration of the Terminals

Field: Neuroscience (Life Sciences)

We did a light and electron microscope study of the infrared receptors in the labial pits of a python, Python regius. The receptors are elongated, tapering terminal nerve masses about 8 × 20 μm located immediately below the conified surface of the pit fundus. The receptors are surrounded and supported by epithelial cells, and together with these epithelial cells are renewed and sloughed off periodically with each molting cycle. Each terminal nerve mass is packed with mitochondria in numbers not seen in any other sensory organ. Beneath the receptors is a dense network of fine capillary vessels which probably serve both to supply the tremendous energy requirements of the mitochondria-rich receptors and to stabilize and control the thermal sensitivity of the receptors. In active terminals (as opposed to degenerating ones), the mitochondria show both energized and discharged states, as well as ladder-like junctions between individual mitochondria, which suggest that the mitochondria are intimately involved in producing the nerve impulse.
Contribution of the case law of the European Court of Human Rights to sustainable development in Europe

Field: Social Sciences (Social Sciences)

This paper addresses the question in how far the European Court of Human Rights (ECtHR), through its case law on the human rights laid down in the European Convention on Human Rights (ECHR), has contributed to regional integration and sustainable development. Even without the recognition of an explicit right to environment in the ECHR, the Court rendered an impressive range of judgments in environmental cases through which it established a continent wide safety net protecting all Europeans against severe environmental pollution and through which it forces the authorities in 47 states to offer their citizens and NGOs procedural rights whenever the environment is at stake, assess the impact on the environment of their decisions, implement and enforce existing standards, and carry out domestic court rulings. The ECtHR case law did not lead to a harmonization of environmental standards across Europe, nor to the adoption of progressive environmental policies. For Europe, therefore, it seems that the EU’s approach towards sustainable development is a more promising road to travel. The EU’s impact on the environment has been far greater. Accession of more European states to the EU can, therefore, be considered a more fruitful approach to achieve sustainable development across the continent than relying on further expansion of the work of the ECtHR, for instance through the adoption of a specific right to a healthy or safe environment within the ECHR.
Ayurvedic Methods to Treat Malnourished Children

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

Malnutrition in children is a dangerous threat to any civilization. The reasons for this condition are complex. This issue is being addressed with extraordinary diligence. In this present circumstance Ayurved can assume a conclusive part and hence an undertaking was considered targeting working on the heaviness of malnourished kids. Charak samhita-a pillar for treatment reason in Ayurved has decribed fifty gatherings, each containing ten therapeutic plants, known as dashemaani that are profoundly unambiguous, condition situated plants. In the present study, as per principles of Ayurved, the malnourished children were considered in Kaarshya condition/ Ras, Rakta, Maansa dhatu kshaya i.e condition of depleted muscle and fatty tissue and treated in that congruence. Nine children were selected for the study. To rectify it Vidarikand-Ipomoea digitata, a herb indicated in Brimhaniya-(drugs which increase weight of body) and Snehopag (drugs that increase the unctuousness and which oleate the body) dashemani and YashtimadhuGlychrhizza glabra indicated in Jivniya (which increase vitality of body) and Snehopag dashemani were selected. A trial of combination of Yashtimadhu and Vidarikand for treatment of malnutrition hasn’t been carried out before but various research pointing towards their potential have done in an individual manner. Sonia et al in their paper “Ksheervidar (Ipomoea Digitata) an underutilised medicinal plant- an update “ have stressed its multiple use along with its nutritional values. In a similar way, a number of studies have been conducted on Yashtimadhu, such as Debrata das et al.’s paper “Protective effect of Yashtimadhu against side effects of radiation/chemotherapy in head and neck malignancies” (its counteracting effect against radiation). However, no study has been conducted solely on Yashtimadhu’s effect on weight gain, so the study was designed. In the ongoing review the outcomes got were very uplifting. Five kids were overhauled weight wise and different youngsters also showed moderate weight gain. An improvement in subjective criteria revealed drugs’ holistic effects. The aftereffects of this pilot project shows the immense potential Ayurved can propose in tackling in this grave issue and its enormous scope study and execution would be truly commendable.
