“A very basic view of feminism”: feminist girls and meanings of (celebrity) feminism

Field: Social Sciences (Social Sciences)

Feminist scholarship has richly critiqued the burgeoning of popular feminism across multiple media platforms in recent years. Representing a particular visibility of popular feminism, celebrity feminism has re-ignited questions about what constitutes a “legitimate” feminist. But what might the mediated visibility of celebrity feminism mean and make possible for media audiences? Observing the dearth of audience studies, several scholars highlight the need to investigate audience meanings of mediated feminisms. Given that young celebrities such as Amandla Stenberg often (re)present the popular “fresh face” of feminism and that media provide a key resource for girls to learn about feminism, such investigation is particularly salient for teenage girls. This paper draws on research with young feminists to explore ways they make sense of celebrity feminism in relation to their own understandings of feminism and feminist subjectivity. Analyses show how celebrity feminism functions as a discursive tool for girls’ negotiation of the borders that constitute self and others as feminist subjects (or not). Although girls constructed celebrity feminists as potentially useful in drawing people into feminism, they also critiqued celebrity feminism as “trendy”, apolitical and “basic”, offering little more than a rhetoric of equal rights, devoid of intersectional values and lacking political activism.
TASEP with Discontinuous Jump Rates

Field: Mathematics (Physical Sciences)

We prove a hydrodynamic limit for the totally asymmetric simple exclusion process with spatially inhomogeneous jump rates given by a speed function that may admit discontinuities. The limiting density profiles are described with a variational formula. This formula enables us to compute explicit density profiles even though we have no information about the invariant distributions of the process. In the case of a two-phase flow for which a suitable p.d.e. theory has been developed we also observe that the limit profiles are entropy solutions of the corresponding scalar conservation law with a discontinuous speed function.
A potential molecular model for studying apoptosis enhanced by the interaction of BCL-G with JAB1 in swine

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

BCL-G, an apoptotic factor in Bcl-2 family, is involved in several kinds of diseases by interacting with several proteins. Although many studies on mouse and human BCL-G have been reported, porcine BCL-G (pBCL-G) has been little investigated. In this study, our results showed that pBCL-G was universally expressed in porcine tissues. The BH2 domain affected the subcellular distribution of pBCL-G protein. pBCL-G could interact with porcine JAB1 (pJAB1), by which its subcellular distribution was affected. pBCL-G promoted staurosporine-induced apoptosis that was significantly enhanced by interaction of pBCL-G with pJAB1. The apoptosis at least partially depended on the activated caspase-8, -9 and -3. Owing to the close phylogenetic distance between pigs and humans and their many physiological similarities, our findings may provide a potential molecular model to study human BCL-G and also may have implications in the treatment of diseases relevant with BCL-G.
Probabilistic Correspondence Analysis in Pediatric Health by Using Variational Mixture Models

Field: Computer Science (Physical Sciences)

Analyzing brain structures in medical imaging poses challenging problems due to heterogeneity in pediatric diseases. Besides, measuring brain changes quantitatively is crucial to evaluating clinical outcomes related to anatomical factors. From an artificial intelligence perspective, establishing correspondences between nonrigid shapes often requires computing similarity-based measures that, in most cases, are unavailable. This paper proposes an unsupervised probabilistic framework for shape matching on brain structures by using variational unsupervised learning. Our approach comprehensively captures the underlying representation of surface descriptors related to brain structures. Then, we learned group-wise latent space representations of these descriptors using a variational derivation of the Gaussian process latent variable model, which matches the resulting features to establish unsupervised correspondences. The experimental results show how the model captures non-linearities in nonrigid brain structures in real-world neurodevelopmental data. These results demonstrated that the proposed model is suitable for monitoring anatomical changes in healthy and abnormal brain shapes.
Strategic Factors on Interpreting Remanufacturing Quality-Certifying Framework to Address Warranty Aftermarket for Malaysian Industry

Field: Business, Management and Accounting (Social Sciences)

While the concept of remanufacturing is gaining popularity globally, literature and theory on strategic decision-making on certifying for warranty in this area remain limited. A strategic and establish concept flow is developed based on extensive literature review and surveys with experienced experts who are dealing with remanufactured, reconditioned, rebuilt and reused components. The remanufacturing research on evaluating quality assurance of remanufactured component targets macro-level parameters and the indicators which must be confirmed for evaluation. The strategic remanufacturing factors identified from the literature review are discussed in a brainstorming session with a number of remanufacturing researchers and academic experts. The study is further broadened by industrial surveys and case studies to justify the inputs on developing a framework to certify remanufactured components. Preliminary results have established the key factors of remanufacturing quality control that might lead to the strict quality assurance of remanufactured components. Later, the developed framework can be used as a benchmarking tool to certify remanufactured components and warranty issuance. The findings serve as the foundation for further research concerning Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) or Original Equipment Remanufacturer (OER) and Independent Equipment Remanufacturer (IER) in the Malaysian Remanufacturing Industry.

During the pandemic, a strong blurring of boundaries between professional and private life and problems of symbiosis of professional and family duties has taken place. The aim of the study is to indicate the importance of the idea of Work Life Balance in the perspective of changes in the labor market caused by the Covid-19 pandemic.
Identifying synchronization between flow boiling inside two parallel minichannels using joint recurrence plots

Field: Engineering (Physical Sciences)

In this study the flow boiling inside two parallel tubes with a diameter of 1 mm was analysed in order to determine synchronization level between the channels. An experimental setup was built to investigate the pressure and temperature oscillation in parallel minichannels. During the experiments, the two-phase flow patterns were recorded by high speed camera and also the presence of vapour in channel outlet was measured by laser-phototransistor sensor. Various types of two-phase flow instabilities were observed in investigated the system. Experiment was carried out for various heat rate and mass flux. The method of identifying synchronization between flow boiling between parallel channel will be presented on measurement data recorded for heat rate q equal to 50.15 W and the average mass flux ṁ equal to 38.8 kg/m 2 s. The signal was subjected to a nonlinear analysis based on the joint recurrence plot (JRP) method. The JRP method was carried out in order to determine synchronization level between signals from parallel channels. Results of pressure and laser-phototransistor oscillation analysis shows that during flow boiling phase synchronization and phase shift between the channels can be detected using appropriate RQA indicators.
The Effect of Beans Position of the Fruit and Liquid Organic Fertilizer on the Cocoa Seedlings

Field: Agricultural and Biological Sciences (Life Sciences)

Introduction: This study was aimed to examine the effect of beans positions of the fruit and Liquid Organic Fertilizer (LOF) on the growth of the cocoa seedlings (Theobroma cacao ) in early nurseries. Materials and Methods: This study was conducted at the agricultural experiment land, Universitas Tjut Nyak Dhien, Medan Helvetia District, Medan City from April to June 2020. This study used a Randomized Block Design (RBD) within two factors. The first factor was beans position of the fruit (B0= peduncular, B1= median, B2= apical). The second factor was LOF application (D0= un-treated, D1= 3 ml.l-1, D2= 5 ml.l-1). The variables including radicle length, seedlings height, number of leaves, leaf area, stem diameter, and root fresh weight were then processed using ANOVA and BNT at the rate of 5%. Results: The beans position of the cocoa fruit was an insignificant effect on all parameters of seedlings. LOF application was significant on seedlings height at 4, 6, and 8 weeks after planting (WAP) and also the number of leaves at 8 WAP, but it had an insignificant effect on radicle length, leaf area, stem diameter, and root fresh weight. The interaction of beans position of the fruit and LOF application on the vegetative growth of cocoa seedlings in the early nursery also did insignificant in all parameters of this study.
Enhanced Efficiency of PTB7 : PC61BM Organic Solar Cells by Adding a Low Efficient Polymer Donor

Field: Materials Science (Physical Sciences)

Ternary blend polymer solar cells combining two electron-donor polymers, poly[4,8-bis[(2-ethylhexyl)oxy]benzo[1,2-b:4,5-b′]dithiophene-2,6-diyl][3-fluoro-2-[(2-ethylhexyl)carbonyl]thieno[3,4-b]thiophenediyl] (PTB7) and poly[2,5-bis(3-dodecylthiophen-2-yl)thieno[3,2-b]thiophene] (pBTTT) and [6,6]-phenyl-C61-butyric acid methyl ester (PC 61 BM), as electron-acceptor, were fabricated. The power conversion efficiency of the ternary cells was enhanced by 18%, with respect to the reference binary cells, for a blend composition with 25% (wt%) of pBTTT in the polymers content. The optimized device performance was related to the blend morphology, nonrevealing pBTTT aggregates, and improved charge extraction within the device.
Understanding the Design Trade-Offs of Hybrid Flash Controllers

Field: Computer Science (Physical Sciences)

Over the last few years, NAND flash manufacturers have steadily increased the number of bits stored per cell to achieve significant cost reductions. However, the increased density does not come without drawbacks. All key flash performance metrics, including latency and endurance, significantly degrade as bit density increases. Particularly, sustained write throughput is the worst affected as writes are roughly one order of magnitude slower than reads and further require precursory block erases in the background. As a result, many recent flash controllers operate flash blocks both in single-bit (high endurance and performance) and in multi-bit (high density) mode. In theory, such hybrid controllers are a great way of hiding flash technology limitations. A controller can use a small percentage of the flash blocks in single-bit mode as a cache which allows orders of magnitude higher write bandwidth and endurance in environments where the access patterns of the workload are skewed and bursty. In practice, however, many devices fall short of expectations when write performance varies significantly and utilization increases. We argue that a principled approach is required to understand the design trade-offs of hybrid NAND flash controllers. To this end, we develop a modeling framework for estimating the performance and endurance of hybrid controllers. The modeling framework computes the internal data movement generated by a hybrid controller by relying on advanced analytical models that offer both accurate and fast predictions. The data flow is then translated into higher-level metrics that quantify upper bounds for the overall performance of an SSD such as write throughput, latency, and device endurance. Using our modeling framework, we compare different controller architectures, identify their strong and weak points, and show that there is room to improve the efficiency of the hybrid controllers used today.

Identification of Disease-Related Genes That Are Common between Alzheimer’s and Cardiovascular Disease Using Blood Genome-Wide Transcriptome Analysis

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

Accumulating evidence has suggested a shared pathophysiology between Alzheimer’s disease (AD) and cardiovascular disease (CVD). Based on genome-wide transcriptomes, specifically those of blood samples, we identify the shared disease-related signatures between AD and CVD. In addition to gene expressions in blood, the following prior knowledge were utilized to identify several candidate disease-related gene (DRG) sets: protein–protein interactions, transcription factors, disease–gene relationship databases, and single nucleotide polymorphisms. We selected the respective DRG sets for AD and CVD that show a high accuracy for disease prediction in bulk and single-cell gene expression datasets. Then, gene regulatory networks (GRNs) were constructed from each of the AD and CVD DRG sets to identify the upstream regulating genes. Using the GRNs, we identified two common upstream genes (GPBP1 and SETDB2) between the AD and CVD GRNs. In summary, this study has identified the potential AD- and CVD-related genes and common hub genes between these sets, which may help to elucidate the shared mechanisms between these two diseases.
Safety and tolerability of concurrent Nab-P (Nab-P) and Carbo (Carbo) with thoracic radiotherapy (RT) followed by consolidative Nab-P and Carbo in patients with stage IIIA/B non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC).

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

e20046 Background: The safety and tolerability of Nab-P and Carbo in patients with Stage IV NSCLC was previously demonstrated. We now describe the safety and tolerability of concurrent Nab-P and Carbo with RT followed by consolidative Nab-P and Carbo in patients (pt) with locally advanced NSCLC. Methods: Currently a randomized multi-institutional phase I/II clinical trial investigating Nab-P, or solvent-based paclitaxel, plus Carbo with concurrent RT followed by consolidation in pt with stage IIIA/B NSCLC is underway. For phase I, weekly 50mg/m2 of Nab-P and Carbo AUC 2 was administered with concurrent RT (60-66 Gy) followed by consolidation therapy comprising 100mg/m2 Nab-P on days 1,8,15 (of a 21 day cycle) and Carbo AUC 6 on day 1 for 2 cycles. For the randomized phase II, pt received either arm A) weekly 50mg/m2 paclitaxel and Carbo AUC 2 or arm B) weekly 40mg/m2 of Nab-P and Carbo AUC 2 with concurrent RT followed by consolidative 200mg/m2 paclitaxel and Carbo AUC 6 every three weeks for 2 cycles or 100mg/m2Nab-P on days 1,8,15 (of a 21 day cycle) and Carbo AUC 6 on day 1 for 2 cycles. Results: 6 pt were enrolled on phase I. 2 pt experienced DLTs (grade 3 febrile neutropenia and grade 4 thrombocytopenia) leading to a dose reduction of concurrent Nab-P from 50mg/m2 to 40mg/m2for the phase II portion. For phase II, 18 pt have completed concurrent therapy on arm A and 19 pt on arm B. 13 pt (72%) and 17 pt (89%) received all 6 planned cycles of concurrent therapy on arms A and B respectively. 11 pt on arm A completed consolidation therapy while 15 pt on arm B, with 7 (64%) and 7 (47%) receiving all planned cycles on arms A and B respectively. For arm B, 12 (80%) pt received at least 5 doses of consolidation therapy. Overall both regimens were well tolerated with the following toxicities (A versus B): 1 grade 3 esophagitis versus none, 1 grade 3 sensory neuropathy versus none, and 8 grade 3/4 hematological toxicity versus 15. Conclusions: Early results demonstrate the safety and tolerability of administrating concurrent Nab-P and Carbo with RT with toxicity in line with standard therapy. Further follow-up of toxicity and efficacy is required. Clinical trial information: NCT01757288.
Fertilizer trials with safflower in sacramento valley

Field: Agricultural and Biological Sciences (Life Sciences)

These tests, and other field observations, indicate that moisture is a key consideration in selecting a fertilizer program for saflower in the Valey. For dry-land soils or soils with low sub-surface moisture levels, 20 to 60 lbs per acre of N apear to be suficient. Exces N may reduce yields. Greater amounts of N may be utilized when saflower is grown under irigation, or on soils with a high water table, or on dep soils filed with moisture. The efect of the previous crop is important here: when saflower folows rice or sorghum, up to 150 lbs per acre of N are generaly adequate. However, when it folows a nitrogen-fixing crop such as alfalfa or vetch, smaler amounts may be suficient. No reduction in saflower yield has ben observed from exces N under highmoisture conditions. Because saflower may not be irigated, fertilizers should be placed in the moist rot zone, at least 4 inches dep. If a nitrogen fertilizer is broadcast, at least 1 inch of rain or its equivalent in irigation is neded to move it into the rot zone. Spring aplications are preferable to fal aplications. In a dry spring, aqua or anhydrous amonia placed at a depth of from 4 to 8 inches can be expected to be more efective than broadcast dry materials. If dry materials are to be used, aplications early in the spring are desirable to take advantage of spring rains.
Clinicopathological characteristic of Sudanese women with breast Carcinoma

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

Knowledge of the breast cancer pattern and stage of diagnosis can aid in the disease’s subsequent effective management. Thus, the purpose of this study was to evaluate the clinicopathological characteristics of Sudanese women with breast carcinoma. Methodology: This analysis used Khartoum Oncology Hospital’s Pathology Laboratory to retrieve breast biopsy data from January to December 2022. Conventional histopathology confirmed the breast lesion diagnoses. Laboratory records provided all patient data. Results: With 70.2%, 12.8%, 10.6%, and 6.4%, respectively, invasive ductal carcinoma (IDC), metastatic carcinoma (MC), lobular carcinoma (LC), and papillary carcinoma (PC) were the four most prevalent types of carcinoma. The mean tumor size ± Std. Error of Mean was 8.99±2.18cm. The most common tumor sizes among patients were <3 cm, followed by >10 cm, 3-5 cm, and 5.1–10 cm, which correspond to (51%), (21.3%), (17%), and (10.7%), respectively. Conclusions: In Sudan, invasive ductal carcinoma and invasive lobular subtype are the most frequent breast cancer types. Young Sundanese are getting an increasing incidence of breast cancer. Due to the country’s poor early detection programs, many individuals arrive with advanced stages of the disease.
Anticoagulation Therapy and Severe Traumatic Brain Injury: A Retrospective Cohort Study on Clinical Outcomes Using TriNetX

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

Background: Traumatic brain injury (TBI) is a leading cause of mortality and disability, particularly in patients on anticoagulation therapy. While anticoagulants are linked to higher TBI mortality, the specific impact of direct oral anticoagulants (DOACs) and vitamin K antagonists (VKAs) on severe TBI (sTBI) outcomes remains unclear, especially in light of newer reversal agents. Therefore, this study evaluates long-term mortality and complication risks associated with pre-injury use of DOACs and VKAs in sTBI patients from a large, real-world cohort. Methods: A retrospective cohort study was conducted using the TriNetX global research network, identifying patients with sTBI between 2016 and 2022. Patients were grouped based on pre-injury anticoagulant use: DOAC, VKA, or none. Propensity score matching was performed, adjusting for age, comorbidities, and baseline characteristics. The primary outcome was all-cause mortality at 1-, 3-, 6-, and 12-months post-injury. Secondary outcomes included hospital and surgical complications up to 30 days post-injury. Results: A total of 40,563 patients met the inclusion criteria. At all time intervals, no significant mortality differences were found between the PSM-matched groups. Conclusions: In patients with sTBI, pre-injury DOAC or VKA use was not associated with increased short- or long-term mortality. These findings suggest that, with current perioperative practices, anticoagulation can be managed without adversely affecting outcomes.
Verification & discretization of the index theorem for a two dimensional dirac operator

Field: Mathematics (Physical Sciences)

The famous Atiyah-Singer Index Theorem states that for an elliptic partial differential operator D on a compact manifold, the analytical index (related to the solution space of the partial differential equation Df = 0) is equal to the topological index (defined in terms of some topological data of D). This project consists of two different parts. The first part of the thesis will verify the theorem for a simple two dimensional Dirac operator with certain boundary conditions where the topological data enters. The second part of the thesis will then describe how the analytic index can be defined in the discretized setting of lattice gauge theory. This is a subtle issue because the usual definition of the index automatically vanishes in the discretized setting. Therefore another, indirect approach is needed. Finally, numerical results for the index are presented in some examples which verify that the index theorem holds in the discrete setting when the definition of the analytic index that we described is used.
