Museum of emotion: artefacts of separation and memory

Field: Arts and Humanities (Social Sciences)

Objects, when understood as retrieval cues for memories, may elicit psychological benefits and connections to an individual's past. They are integral to our life story and help to form our individual sense of identity and ability to establish a sound psychological foundation. Transitional objects are an important related category of objects that have been identified in this research. The concept and use of transitional objects and their related phenomena during infancy is well researched, whereas the impact and importance beyond infancy is less established. This study researches this phenomenon through the creative works made for this project.
The methodology for this project synthesises established areas of research on memory and psychoanalysis from the perspective of an art-based investigation. Objects have been reimagined and re-made into artefacts using thread, wool fibres and silk for this practice- based project. Stitching and writing have been structured into artefacts to signify a trace of time, motion, emotion and memory. It is the exploration of the retrieval cue for memory and the adult version of the transitional object that is significant and key to the research.
The research for this project seeks a deeper understanding of transitional objects during any stage of life. This research contributes to the fields of fine art, memory and psychology. Further inquiries for personal and psychoanalytical research may assist in understanding the potential of this research and its application for adults. Developing areas such as art therapy and the psychological support that extrapolates on an infant's recognised use of a transitional object.

Comparison of Ambulatory Health Care Costs and Use Associated With Roux-en-Y Gastric Bypass vs Sleeve Gastrectomy

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

Despite clinical studies showing greater weight loss and comorbidity improvement with RYGB vs SG, this study found no difference in total ambulatory costs for as long as 4 years after SG and RYGB. These findings may reflect the trade-off between greater improvements in cardiometabolic health and additional surgery-related care among patients undergoing RYGB. Studies with longer follow-up time could determine whether greater sustained weight loss from RYGB eventually results in lower costs compared with SG.
Experimental evaluation of protons emission from a plasma focus device

Field: Physics and Astronomy (Physical Sciences)

Abstract Solid state nuclear track detectors have been used for measuring axially emitted protons from a 2.2-kJ energy plasma focus device. The flux of the protons emerging out from the pinched plasma column of the plasma focus device has been found to saturate the CR-39 detectors. Aluminum filters have been used to avoid the saturation effect. By varying the aluminum filter thickness as well as the etching time of CR-39 detectors, proton tracks have been analyzed. Proton energy above 200 keV to about 1 MeV has been measured by using different thicknesses of aluminum filters. On increasing the etching hours, the most probable track diameter is found to be shifted from lower to higher values. The track number density decreases on increase of the filter thickness, whereas the track diameters increase linearly with respect to the etching time.
Gibberellic acid combined with hand pollination increases ‘Red’ and ‘Lessard Thai’ sugar apple fruit quality and produced parthenocarpic ‘Gefner’ atemoya fruits

Field: Agricultural and Biological Sciences (Life Sciences)

ABSTRACT: The present research aimed to evaluate the effect of applying gibberellic acid (GA3) with hand (HP) or natural pollination (NP) on fruit set and the fruit quality of ‘Red’ and ‘Lessard Thai’ sugar apple and ‘Gefner’ atemoya fruits.This study was performed in an experimental orchard located in Homestead, Florida, USA. The experimental design included randomized blocks, with eight treatments, four replicates and four plants per plot. Treatments included: (1) HP; (2) HP + 10 mg L-1 GA3; (3) HP + 100 mg L-1 GA3; (4) HP + 1,000 mg L-1 GA3; (5) NP; (6) NP + 10 mg L-1 GA3; (7) NP + 100 mg L-1 GA3 and (8) NP + 1,000 mg L-1 GA3. The HP plus 1,000 mg L-1 GA3 promoted fruit setting above 90% over the 14 weeks for all genotypes evaluated. Significant increments for length and total fruit weight were observed. ‘Red’ sugar apple and atemoya had a reduced number of seeds per fruit. The NP plus GA3 (1,000 mg L-1) was effective in producing high quality seedless ‘Gefner’ atemoya fruits. This investigationdemonstratedthat GA3 plus hand pollination produced high quality sugar apple and atemoya seeded fruits and in association with natural pollination promoted seedless ‘Gefner’atemoya fruits.
The Ingestion of High-Fructose Syrup-Containing Cola with a Hamburger Delays Postprandial Lipid Metabolism in Young Healthy Japanese Women

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

Aim: To investigate the acute effects of the ingestion of high-fructose syrup (HFS)-containing cola in combination with a hamburger on postprandial lipid metabolism. Methods: Twelve young healthy women with apolipoprotein E phenotype 3/3 were enrolled in the study. Each subject underwent 3 test trials in a randomized crossover design. The trials were as follows: C trial, cola (350 mL, containing HFS); H trial, 1 hamburger; CH trial, cola + hamburger. Venous blood samples were collected at fasting levels and at 0.5, 1, 2, 4, and 6 h after ingestion. Results: The serum concentrations of triglyceride (TG), remnant-like particle (RLP)-TG, and apolipoprotein B-48 (apoB48) peaked at 2 h in the H trial and at 4 h in the CH trial. Compared with each fasting level, the serum TG concentration in the H trial was significantly increased at 1, 2, and 4 h, and it returned to the fasting level at 6 h. However, compared with each fasting level, the TG concentration in the CH trial was significantly increased at 4 and 6 h, and it did not return to the fasting level at 6 h. The serum apoB48 concentration peaked at 2 h in the H trial and at 4 h in the CH trial. The apoB48 concentration at 4 and 6 h and the incremental area under the curve for apoB48 in the CH trial tended to be higher than those in the H trial. Conclusion: The ingestion of cola in combination with a hamburger delayed and extended postprandial lipidemia in comparison with the ingestion of a hamburger only, suggesting that fructose contained in the cola exacerbates postprandial lipid metabolism.
Community- and mHealth-based integrated management of diabetes in primary healthcare in Rwanda (D²Rwanda): The study protocol

Field: Health Professions (Health Sciences)

Introduction: The diabetes mellitus (DM) prevalence in Rwanda is estimated at 3.5%. In 2013, there were only one medical doctor and one nurse per 15,000 and 1,200 people respectively in Rwanda. A new programme employing frontline workers (Home-Based Community Practitioners (HBCPs)) is currently piloted, aiming at following-up patients with non-communicable diseases in their communities. We hypothesise that the management of DM at community level will improve following the introduction of a HBCP programme with regular monthly assessments and disease management, coupled with integration of a mobile health (mHealth) application with patient diaries, notifications and educational material. Objective: The aim of the study is to determine the efficacy of such an integrated programme in Rwanda. Methods: The study is designed as a one-year, open-label cluster trial of two interventions (arm1: HBCP programme, arm2: HBCP programme + mHealth application) and usual care (control). The primary outcomes will be changes in glycated haemoglobin levels and health-related quality of life. Mortality, complications, health literacy, mental well-being and treatment adherence will be assessed as secondary outcomes. Measurements will be conducted at baseline, 6 and 12 months. An intention-to-treat approach will be used to evaluate outcomes. Before trial onset, ethical approval will be sought in Rwanda, Luxembourg and Denmark, and a cross-cultural adaptation of questionnaires and a pilot will be carried out. Relevance: The project will provide evidence on the efficacy of innovative approaches for integrated management of DM and may spur the development of similar solutions for other chronic diseases in low-resource settings.
How Osteoarthritis Medications Are Tested

Field: Pharmacology, Toxicology and Pharmaceutics (Life Sciences)

Abstract Unlike over-the-counter drugs alternative remedies, medications approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for osteoarthritis have undergone rigorous testing in order to obtain this specific indication. Because a significant amount of irreversible joint destruction has already occurred before joint pain develops and medical attention is sought, the medications used to treat osteoarthritis today are directed towards reducing joint pain and improving joint function. Hopefully, future medications will slow or reverse the disease. Medications developed to reduce pain and inflammation and improve function are tested in very specific ways. The FDA has guidelines that pharmaceutical companies must follow during the clinical development of osteoarthritis medications. This chapter reviews the process that candidate drugs undergo in order to receive FDA approval.
Distinctions in English Grammar

Field: Arts and Humanities (Social Sciences)

Distinctions are all-important to grammatical description. Terms and concepts cannot be defined without them. Yet, linguists may disagree on which distinctions to make, where, and on which grounds. A grammarian may have a tendency to either split categories or lump them together, and may prefer to draw either sharp or blurred dividing lines between forms, usage types, or areas of study. This volume sheds new light on several topics in English grammar by introducing, redrawing or questioning boundaries between grammatical classes, between synchrony and diachrony, and between semantics and pragmatics. It is dedicated to Renaat Declerck, emeritus professor of English linguistics who retired from Belgium's University of Leuven in 2009. While Declerck's main contributions lie in his detailed study of the English tense system, he has dissected a vast range of grammatical phenomena in English. The first part of the book discusses distinctions in the grammar of the English verb phrase, dealing with tense, modality, and-ing forms and nominalisations. The second part is devoted to distinctions in the grammar of the sentence and utterance in English, exploring issues related to word order and information structure, reasoning, and dialogic interaction.
And What Does Parkinson's Smell Like?

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

Olfactory disorders in Parkinson's disease were first described in 1975 by Ansari and Johnson. They affect nearly 90% of patients and therefore occur with a higher frequency than the main motor symptom, namely, a rest tremor (which occurs in about 70% of cases). Olfactory deficiencies are clearly objective from the early stages of the disease because, in reality, they exist before diagnosis, sometimes for several years. Olfactory damage is both peripheral and central and can be detected by all types of tests (detection, identification, discrimination, memory, etc.). Since motor activity is the first to be affected in Parkinson's disease, it has long been recognized that olfactory deficiencies in Parkinson's patients are aggravated by a poor ability to sniff. In a meta-analysis based on 81 published works, it is clear that unlike Alzheimer's disease, where high-level tasks (identification, discrimination, recognition, etc.) are mainly affected, Parkinson's disease is also affected by significant deficiencies in odor detection thresholds.
Revision and cladistic analysis ofIsoctenusand description of a new neotropical genus (Araneae, Ctenidae, Cteninae)

Field: Agricultural and Biological Sciences (Life Sciences)

A cladistic analysis was applied to test the monophyly of the genus Isoctenus. The data matrix comprised 28 taxa scored for 53 morphological and two behavioural characters. The analysis resulted in two equally parsimonious trees of 89 steps. The strict consensus was used to discuss the relationships of Isoctenus and related Cteninae genera. Ctenopsis Schmidt is synonymized with Isoctenus. Isoctenus foliifer Bertkau, I. strandi Mello-Leitao, I. eupalaestrus Mello-Leitao, I. janeirus (Walckenaer), I. coxalis (Pickard-Cambridge), I. corymbus Polotow, Brescovit & Pellegatti-Franco and I. malabaris Polotow, Brescovit & Ott are maintained in Isoctenus. Four species currently included in Ctenus are transferred to Isoctenus: I. griseolus (Mello-Leitao) comb. nov., I. taperae (Mello-Leitao) comb. nov., I. herteli (Mello-Leitao) comb. nov. and I. minusculus (Keyserling) comb. nov. The following specific names are synonymized: Ctenus sanguineus Walckenaer, C. semiornatus Mello-Leitao and Ctenopsis stellata Schmidt with Isoctenus janeirus (Walckenaer), Ctenus mourei Mello-Leitao with Isoctenus herteli (Mello-Leitao) and Ctenus pauper Mello-Leitao with Isoctenus strandi Mello-Leitao. Isoctenus sigma Schenkel, described from French Guiana, is transferred to Ctenus. Four species are newly described: Isoctenus areia sp. nov. from Paraiba, Brazil, I. charada sp. nov. and I. segredo sp. nov. from Parana, Brazil, and I. ordinario sp. nov. from south and south-eastern Brazil and north-eastern Argentina. Isoctenus latevittatus Caporiacco is considered species inquirenda. Parabatinga gen. nov. is proposed to include Ctenus brevipes Keyserling. The following synonymies are established: Ctenus taeniatus Keyserling, C. tatarandensis Tullgren, C. anisitsi Strand, C. atrivulvus Strand, C. mentor Strand, C. brevipes brevilabris Strand, Isoctenus masculus Mello-Leitao and Ctenus birabeni Mello-Leitao with Parabatinga brevipes (Keyserling) comb. nov.

Association of Biochemically Verified Post-Diagnosis Smoking and Nonmuscle-Invasive Bladder Cancer Recurrence Risk

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

In a cohort of patients with predominantly high risk NMIBC, post-diagnosis smoking exposure was not associated with NMIBC recurrence. However, smoking cessation support remains a critical component of cancer care given that the benefits of quitting extend far beyond NMIBC recurrence.
An Exploratory Study on Risk Factor in Supply Chain

Field: Decision Sciences (Social Sciences)

본 연구에서는 공급사슬상에서 발생할 수 있는 불확실한 손실 현상, 즉 공급사슬리스크에 대한 인지와 관리의 중요성을 제시하고자 하였다. 이를 위하여 첫째, 공급사슬리스크와 관련된 기존 연구들을 고찰하여 공급사슬리스크의 요인들을 파악하였다. 둘째, 전문가 집단의 의견을 수렴하여 이전 연구에서 제시된 공급사슬리스크의 요인들을 물류센터의 입장에 맞게 6개의 카테고리와 15개의 세부요인으로 통합, 조정 하였다. 셋째, 통합, 조정된 요인들에 대해 물류센터와 외주업체를 대상으로 AHP 기법을 이용, 설문을 실시하여 각 요인간의 중요도를 측정하였다. 마지막으로, 분석결과를 바탕으로 시사점을 제시하였다. This study gathered the factors of supply chain risk through literature review, and measured the importance of risk factors recognized by domestic companies. The purpose and necessity of this study are as follows. First, supply risk factors were classified and explored through empirical studies about supply chain risk. Most of the previous studies concentrated on the meaning of supply chain risk, but only in terms of concept approach Second, to evaluate the importance of supply-chain risk recognized by the companies, AHP(Analytic Hierarchy Process} method was proposed in this paper. Finally, this study suggests implications for companies' efficient supply activity by measuring the importance of supply-chain through AHP(Analytic Hierarchy Process).
Genetic control of in vitro NK-activity and in vivo resistance to tumors.

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

Natural Killer (NK) cells are lymphocyte like cells which lack conventional B- and T-cell characteristics, and have the ability to rapidly kill certain tumor cells in vitro. Analysis of the genetic control of NK-activity in mice have provided several models to test the in vivo role of NK-cells in defence against neoplasia. Studies of certain F1-hybrid and backcross combinations have revealed a correlation between H-2 linked in vivo resistance and in vitro NK-activity against semisyngeneic transplantable tumors. The beige (bg) mutation in C57B1 mice causes a partial impairment of NK-activity, and can therefore serve to evaluate whether NK-cells can contribute to resistance against syngeneic tumors in the normal intact host. We have recently studied natural resistance against the ascitic lines of one chemically and two virally induced syngeneic leukemias in C57B1.bg/bg mice and their phenotypically normal heterozygous littermates. S.c. threshold inocula of all three leukemia lines grew faster and caused death earlier in bg/bg than in +/bg mice, and two of the lines were rejected completely at a significantly higher frequency in +/bg control animals. The +/bg mice also eliminated 125I-IdUrd-labelled leukemia cells at a faster rate than bg/bg mice, as measured by pulmonary, hepatic and splenic radioactivity retained 14-30 h after i.v. injection. The bg mutation was also possible to study in T-cell free mice, by combining it with the nu mutation on a C57B1 background. The NK-activity of such beige-nude mice was found to be partially impaired compared to nude (non-beige) or wild type animals, but higher than that of beige (non-nude) mice. Our results suggest that NK-cells may be responsible for elimination of small numbers of tumor cells in the intact syngeneic host. The further use of beige and beige-nude mice in studies of transplanted and primary, autochthonous tumors will be discussed.
Comparative Study on Tuning Methods for Variable Speed Drives

Field: Engineering (Physical Sciences)

The aim of this study is to analyse the tuning and compare the performance of four well known speed control algorithms used in variable speed drives: the proportional-integral, integral-proportional, two degrees of freedom proportional-integral and state feedback motion controllers. The study compares pole-placement-based tuning with command-tracking frequency response function (FRF) based tuning. The assessment is focused on the resulting command tracking, mechanical impedance, and sensitivity FRFs. Simulation and experimental results confirm that tuning the controllers with the command-tracking FRF approach leads to an increased disturbance rejection capability of the speed loop.
Differences in Gluco and Galacto Substrate-Binding Interactions in a Dual 6Pβ-Glucosidase/6Pβ-Galactosidase Glycoside Hydrolase 1 Enzyme from Bacillus licheniformis

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

Bacterial glycoside hydrolase 1 (GH1) enzymes with 6-phospho-β-galactosidase and 6-phospho-β-glucosidase activities have the important task of releasing phosphorylated and nonphosphorylated monosaccharides into the cytoplasm. Curiously, dual 6-phospho-β-galactosidase/6-phospho-β-glucosidase (dual-phospho) enzymes have broad specificity and are able to hydrolyze galacto- and gluco-derived substrates. This study investigates the structure and substrate specificity of a GH family 1 enzyme from Bacillus licheniformis, hereafter known as BlBglC. The enzyme structure has been solved, and sequence analysis, molecular dynamics simulations, and binding free energy calculations offered evidence of dual-phospho activity. Both test ligands p-nitrophenyl-β-d-galactoside-6-phosphate (PNP6Pgal) and p-nitrophenyl-β-d-glucoside-6-phosphate (PNP6Pglc) demonstrated strong binding to BlBglC although the pose and interactions of the PNP6Pglc triplicates were slightly more consistent. Interestingly, known specificity-inducing residues, Gln23 and Trp433, bind strongly to the ligand O3 hydroxyl group in the PNP6Pgal-BlBglC complex and to the ligand O4 hydroxyl group in the PNP6Pglc-BlBglC complex. Additionally, the BlBglC-His124 residue is a major contributor of hydrogen bonds to the PNP6Pgal O3 hydroxyl group but does not form any hydrogen bonds with PNP6Pglc. On the other hand, BlBglC residues Tyr173, Tyr301, Gln302, and Thr321 form hydrogen bonds with PNP6Pglc but not PNP6Pgal. These findings provide important details of the broad specificity of dual-phospho activity GH1 enzymes.

Transfer function approaches for SEEG brain electrode interface applied to tissue classification

Field: Neuroscience (Life Sciences)

This paper is about transfer function approaches for brain-electrode interface modelling in the context of StereoElectroEncephaloGraphy, and their possible use in tissue classification (between grey and white matter). Monopolar and bipolar configurations are first reviewed, giving rise to possible nonparametric and parametric identification methods, as well as related possible classification results (for identical tissues and distinct tissues at measurement points, respectively). A method combining both approaches is then proposed, so as to end up with a classification at each measurement point in any case. The proposed methodology is implemented with clinical data collected from a set of epileptic patients, confirming its interest by providing more than 70% of accuracy in the obtained results.
