Examining the discursive construction of Chinese grassroots cybernationalism

Field: Social Sciences (Social Sciences)

Abstract Recent years have seen a surge in Chinese grassroots nationalism. Based on the public discussion on Weibo, the largest social media platform in China, this study investigated the cybernationalism (re)produced during the People’s Republic of China’s release of the Regulations on the Administration of Permanent Residence of Foreigners in early 2020. Deploying a synergy of thematic analysis and the discourse-historical approach ( Reisigl and Wodak 2005 , 2016 ), especially its argumentative perspectives, it examined the articulation of bottom-up cybernationalism and how this nationalism, boosted by the party-state, turns against the party-state when it fails to uphold its own nationalistic rhetorics, thereby influencing the government’s immigration policymaking. The results revealed that the discursive construction of a dichotomy between “derogatory foreigners” and “dignified Chinese” prevents the implementation of the regulation; the foregrounded anti-Black sentiment reflects a (re)appreciation of the global hierarchy of race in China based on orientalistic views; the discursive representations of humiliated history vitally motivates nationalism.
New Scheme for Smoker Detection

Field: Computer Science (Physical Sciences)

본 논문은 흡연으로 인한 화재사고 방지를 위해, 비디오 영상에서 흡연자를 검출하는 알고리즘을 제안한다. 흡연자의 행동을 인식하기 위해 행동 인식 기법의 계층적 방법 중 서술 기반 접근 방법을 기반으로 제안하는 알고리즘은 배경 영역 분리, 객체 검출, 이벤트 탐지, 이벤트 판단 과정으로 구성된다. 배경 영역 분리 과정으로 학습률이 다른 두 개의 가우시안 혼합 모델을 이용하여 입력 영상으로부터 고속 움직임 전경, 저속 움직임 전경 영상을 생성하고, 저속움직임 전경 영상을 chain-rule 기반 외곽선 검출 알고리즘을 통하여 객체의 위치를 추출해낸다. 위치 정보를 기반으로 흡연자의 세 가지 특징인 얼굴, 연기, 손의 움직임을 이벤트 탐지 과정에서 검출한다. Haar-like feature를 이용하여 얼굴을 검출하며, 고속 움직임 전경에서 연기의 발생 빈도수와 방향성을 반영하여 연기를 검출한다. 움직임 추정을 통해 반복적인 손의 움직임을 검출한다. 일정 구간의 비디오 시퀀스 내 객체들에 대하여, 검출된 특징들의 서술적 관계를 반영하여 각각의 객체가 흡연자인지 판단한다. 제안하는 방법은 실시간으로 여러 다른 객체들 사이에서 강인하게 흡연자를 검출한다. In this paper, we propose a smoker recognition algorithm, detecting smokers in a video sequence in order to prevent fire accidents. We use description-based method in hierarchical approaches to recognize smoker's activity, the algorithm consists of background subtraction, object detection, event search, event judgement. Background subtraction generates slow-motion and fast-motion foreground image from input image using Gaussian mixture model with two different learning-rate. Then, it extracts object locations in the slow-motion image using chain-rule based contour detection. For each object, face is detected by using Haar-like feature and smoke is detected by reflecting frequency and direction of smoke in fast-motion foreground. Hand movements are detected by motion estimation. The algorithm examines the features in a certain interval and infers that whether the object is a smoker. It robustly can detect a smoker among different objects while achieving real-time performance.
Acute Oral Toxicity of a Herbal Gut Function Modulator

Field: Pharmacology, Toxicology and Pharmaceutics (Life Sciences)

The current study was designed to evaluate the acute oral toxicity potential of AV/AGP/30 (M/s Ayurvet Limited, Baddi, India) according to OECD 423 guidelines. AV/AGP/30 is a polyherbal gut function modulator in swine and poultry. Nine female Swiss albino mice were used for the study. Each animal served as its own control. Following the oral administration of the test substance, the animals were observed for manifestation of toxic effects and deaths. No toxic effects or mortalities were observed. The estimation of biochemical parameters (AST, ALT, ALP and creatinine) and histopathological studies also did not reveal any significant findings. Hence, AV/AGP/30 was found to be safe for use.
The modulating effect of conjugated linoleic acid (CLA) on cancer cell survival in vitro

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

Conjugated linoleic acids (CLA) are geometrical and positional isomers of n-6 octadecadenoic acid (linoleic acid, LA, 18:2n-6), which form part of a family of essential polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFA). There are 28 identified CLA isomers that mostly found in the meat and milk from ruminant animals. CLA has shown to possess a number of health benefits including; reduction in body fat and increased lean body mass, prevention of atherosclerosis, hypertension, increased immune function and in particular the prevention of cancer. The effects of CLA on cancer cell lines will be evaluated to discover the mechanisms that are employed to achieve this great phenomenon on cell growth. The aim of this study was to determine the effect of CLA on various parameters that are essential in the development of cancer cell phenotype. The objectives were to evaluate the effect of CLA on iron-induced lipid peroxidation of microsomes isolated from rat liver cells and in vitro cytotoxicity, cell proliferation and apoptosis in HepG2 hepatocarcinoma cells. The Fatty acid incorporation in HepG2 cells was also assessed.
Integrating Drug Target Information in Deep Learning Models to Predict the Risk of Adverse Events in Patients with Comorbid Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder and Alcohol Use Disorder

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

Background/Objectives: Comorbid post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and alcohol use disorder (AUD) patients are at a significantly higher risk of adverse outcomes, including opioid use disorder, depression, suicidal behaviors, and death, yet limited treatment options exist for this population. This study aimed to build on previous research by incorporating drug target information into a novel deep learning model, T-DeepBiomarker, to predict adverse outcomes and identify potential therapeutic medications. Methods: We utilized electronic medical record (EMR) data from the University of Pittsburgh Medical Center (UPMC), analyzing 5565 PTSD + AUD patients. T-DeepBiomarker was developed by integrating multimodal data, including lab results, drug target information, comorbidities, neighborhood-level social determinants of health (SDoH), and individual-level SDoH (e.g., psychotherapy and veteran status). The model was trained to predict adverse events, including opioid use disorder, suicidal behaviors, depression, and death, within three months following any clinical encounter. Candidate medications targeting significant proteins were identified through literature reviews. Results: T-DeepBiomarker achieved high predictive performance with an AUROC of 0.94 for adverse outcomes in PTSD + AUD patients. Several medications, including OnabotulinumtoxinA, Dronabinol, Acamprosate, Celecoxib, Exenatide, Melatonin, and Semaglutide, were identified as potentially reducing the risk of adverse events by targeting significant proteins. Conclusions: T-DeepBiomarker demonstrates high accuracy in predicting adverse outcomes in PTSD + AUD patients and highlights candidate drugs with potential therapeutic effects. These findings advance pharmacotherapy for this high-risk population and identify medications that warrant further investigation.
Sustainable tourism : exploring the fragile environment of Egypt

Field: Social Sciences (Social Sciences)

With increasing frequency environmentally sustainable tourism or ecotourism is adopted as a way of ensuring environmental conservation while enabling economic development. Around the globe, developing countries, in particular, are now encouraged by diverse interest groups to consider such a type of tourism as a solution to their environmental and economic challenges. The supporters of this type of tourism as a development strategy are typically international funding agencies, global environmental organizations, international tourism businesses, national governments, and local community organizations. While these groups have different interests, environmentally sustainable tourism appears to be a tool for negotiating those interests.
The effects of allocentric cue presence on eye-hand coordination: disappearing targets in motion

Field: Neuroscience (Life Sciences)

Participants executed right-handed reach-to-grasp movements toward horizontally translating targets. Visual feedback of the target when reaching, as well as the presence of additional cues placed close (Experiment 1) or far (Experiment 2) above and below the target’s path was manipulated. Additional cue presence appeared to impair participants’ ability to extrapolate the disappeared target’s motion, and caused grasps for occluded targets to be less accurate. Final gaze and grasp positions were more accurate when reaching for leftward moving targets, suggesting individuals use different grasp strategies when reaching for targets travelling away from the reaching hand. Comparison of average fixations at reach onset and at the time of the grasp suggested that participants accurately extrapolated the occluded target’s motion prior to reach onset, but not after, resulting in inaccurate grasps. New information is provided about the eye-hand strategies used when reaching for moving targets in unpredictable visual conditions.
Optimizing Mechanical Structures Through Butt Joining of Dissimilar Materials for Lightweight Components

Field: Engineering (Physical Sciences)

The joining of dissimilar steels is crucial for designing lightweight, high-performance structures but poses significant challenges due to uneven material properties. This study optimizes the butt-welding process for a dissimilar pair of S355J2 and Strenx 700E steels. Cold Metal Transfer welding was employed, and the effects of surface preparation, linear energy, and joint gap on joint integrity were systematically investigated via tensile testing, digital image correlation, fractography, and microhardness analysis. The results demonstrate that mechanical surface cleaning combined with a low linear energy of 0.334 kJ/mm and a 0.5 mm gap yields optimal performance. This parameter set produced a joint with a tensile strength of 616 MPa, representing a 32% increase compared to uncleaned samples, and promoted uniform plastic deformation across the joint. Microstructural analysis confirmed a narrower heat-affected zone and the absence of significant softening in the high-strength steel.
ASSESSMENT AND CHOICE: AN OPERANT SIMULATION OF FORAGING IN PATCHES

Field: Psychology (Social Sciences)

Pigeons were presented with an operant simulation of two prey patches using concurrent random‐ratio schedules of reinforcement. An unstable patch offered a higher initial reinforcement probability, which then declined unpredictably to a zero reinforcement probability in each session. A stable patch offered a low but unvarying reinforcement probability. When the reinforcement probability declined to zero in a single step, the birds displayed shorter giving‐up times in the unstable patch when the ratio between the initial reinforcement probabilities in the unstable and stable patches was greater and when the combined magnitude of the reinforcement probabilities in the two patches was greater. When the unstable patch declined in two steps, the birds behaved as if their giving‐up times were influenced heavily by events encountered during the most recent step of the double‐step change. This effect was observed, however, only when the reinforcement probability in that step was .04, not when it was .06. All of these data agree with the predictions of a capture‐probability model based on a comparison of the estimated probability of receiving a reinforcer in the current patch with that in alternative patches.
Ionic Binding of C3 to the Human Pathogen Moraxella catarrhalis Is a Unique Mechanism for Combating Innate Immunity

Field: Immunology and Microbiology (Life Sciences)

Abstract Moraxella catarrhalis ubiquitous surface proteins A1 and A2 (UspA1/A2) interfere with the classical pathway of the complement system by binding C4b-binding protein. In this study we demonstrate that M. catarrhalis UspA1 and A2 noncovalently and in a dose-dependent manner bind both the third component of complement (C3) from EDTA-treated serum and methylamine-treated C3. In contrast, related Moraxella subspecies (n = 13) or other human pathogenic bacteria (n = 13) do not bind C3 or methylamine-treated C3. Experiments with recombinant proteins and M. catarrhalis mutants devoid of UspA1/A2 revealed that UspA1/A2 exert their actions by absorbing and neutralizing C3 from serum and restrain complement activation. UspA2 was responsible for most of the effect, and the Moraxella mutant lacking UspA2 was more sensitive to the lytic effect of human serum compared with the wild type. Interestingly, among the large number of bacteria analyzed, only M. catarrhalis has this unique ability to interfere with the innate immune system of complement by binding C3.
Gingival granulomatosis with polyangiitis (Wegener's granulomatosis) as a primary manifestation of the disease

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

Abstract Granulomatosis with polyangiitis ( GPA ) is a potentially lethal disease characterized by systemic necrotizing vasculitis, which affects small‐ and medium‐sized blood vessels and is often associated with serum cytoplasmic antineutrophil cytoplasmic antibody. The upper and lower respiratory tract and kidney are the most involved sites, but oral lesions can be identified in 6–13% of the cases, whereas in only 2% of the cases, oral manifestations represent the first signal of the disease usually as gingival swellings or unspecific ulcerations. Without treatment, the mainstay of which is the combination of immunosuppressants and systemic corticosteroids, GPA may run a fatal course. In this report we describe an original case of GPA affecting a 75‐year‐old female patient referred to our service due to a gingival swelling with 3‐month duration. Although the patient was correctly diagnosed and promptly treated, she died 3 months after the initial diagnosis.
Natural transition of the supersonic streamwise corner flow

Field: Engineering (Physical Sciences)

The laminar-to-turbulence transition of a streamwise corner flow is recognized to occur first at the corner based on the stability analysis, but there is no persuasive experimental evidence to back it up, especially for supersonic flow. In this work, natural transition in a supersonic corner boundary layer has been experimentally studied using a nanoparticle-based planar laser scattering technique. It is inspiring to observe that the natural transition position of the corner boundary layer shows a random behavior among the corner side, flat-plate side, and their combination. Based on an intermittent factor analysis, these stochastic transitions show a dominant preference for transitions occurring near the corner region.
História, Literatura e Memórias de Formação Escolar

Field: Arts and Humanities (Social Sciences)

This paper intends to make some considerations concerning the interrelations between history\nand literature, illustrating the productive exchange that has been carried out by researchers of\nthose two areas, extensive to those who work with History of Education. If one examines\ncertain life stories of national authors, there is no doubt that their first experiences at school\nwere outstanding facts in their lives, as much as male and female teachers� autobiographical\nreports are nowadays. In those writings the way that school practices were developed in\ndifferent times and spaces is evidenced, revealing tensions, conflicts, joys and surprises\nexperienced by those willing to remember their childhood and youth, which the school, their\nteachers and daily acitivities were recurring themes.
[Total skin therapy with electron beams. II. Clinical results in mycosis fungoides].

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

Between 1985 and 1989, 19 patients with mycosis fungoides were treated by Total Skin Electron Therapy (TSET). Overall and disease-free survival at 3 years were 72% and 40%. The complete remission (CR) rate was 100% in patients with plaque and 33.3% in those with tumor masses; patients with negative nodes had a 90% CR rate whereas in those with adenopathy the rate was 55%. Overall and disease free survivals were also correlated with these factors.
The Botanical, Chemical and Ethnobotanical Diversity of Southern African Lamiaceae

Field: Agricultural and Biological Sciences (Life Sciences)

The Lamiaceae is undoubtedly an important plant family, having a rich history of use that spans the globe with many species being used in folk medicine and modern industries alike. Their ability to produce aromatic volatile oils has made them valuable sources of materials in the cosmetic, culinary, and pharmaceutical industries. A thorough account of the taxonomic diversity, chemistry and ethnobotany is lacking for southern African Lamiaceae, which feature some of the region’s most notable medicinal and edible plant species. We provide a comprehensive insight into the Lamiaceae flora of southern Africa, comprising 297 species in 42 genera, 105 of which are endemic to the subcontinent. We further explore the medicinal and traditional uses, where all genera with documented uses are covered for the region. A broad review of the chemistry of southern African Lamiaceae is presented, noting that only 101 species (34%) have been investigated chemically (either their volatile oils or phytochemical characterization of secondary metabolites), thus presenting many and varied opportunities for further studies. The main aim of our study was therefore to present an up-to-date account of the botany, chemistry and traditional uses of the family in southern Africa, and to identify obvious knowledge gaps.
Modeling the Impact of Traffic Signals on V2V Information Flow

Field: Computer Science (Physical Sciences)

Information propagation in V2V-enabled transportation networks is highly influenced by both vehicle mobility and wireless communication. The mobility patterns and communication conditions are not only heterogeneous, but also vary both temporally and spatially. In particular, realistic traffic flow changes with time, exhibiting sharp time-triggered transitions, due to external factors such as traffic lights, unpredictable disruptions (e.g., accidents), and planned disruptions (e.g., road-block). More specifically, traffic signals cause traffic synchronization, due to vehicles stopping during the red phase, and starting almost simultaneously during the green phase, which fundamentally alters the dynamics of V2V message propagation in a complex manner. In this paper, we propose a mathematical framework, starting from a continuous-time Markov chain, that characterizes the fraction of vehicles that have received a message over time and space in an arbitrary road network even when the traffic flow exhibits sharp time-triggered transitions. Our framework can accommodate arbitrary traffic synchronization patterns corresponding for example to the presence of an arbitrary number of traffic signals. The stochastic model for V2V message flow converges to a set of differential equations as the number of vehicles increases. The analytical characterization lends itself to a fast computation regardless of the number of vehicles and traffic synchronization patterns, while vehicular network simulators can only realistically simulate small-scale transportation networks. We find that V2V simulations of a statistical model with traffic synchronization and simulation of communications applied on a synthetic traffic trace well match our model solution.

Using the (second order) tensor transformation formula, the principal stresses for each twin set (the compression and extension axes of dynamic analysis) are rotated into thin-section coordinates forming a bulk stress tensor. Principal stresses and their orientations can then be calculated by means of taking the eigenvalues and eigenvectors of the bulk stress tensor. The relative magnitudes and orientations of calculated principal stresses accurately reflect the distribution of the compression and extension axes.
