The Peril of Pink Bricks: Gender Ideology and LEGO Friends

Field: Social Sciences (Social Sciences)

Purpose-Using the example of LEGO Friends, we investigate the discourses that develop when second-order consumers attribute moral weight to the production and marketing of toys perceived to sharpen and enforce gender norms. Methodology/approach-We analyze reactions to LEGO Friends through a discourse analysis of online data collected from English-language blogs and news sites. The data is coded iteratively within the two primary categories of gender and the market. Findings-We argue that children's toys have reemerged as a moral battlefield where consumers stake out positions on the feminization and sexualization of young girls, forcing companies to take strong ideological stances while competing for market share. We show that in the debate over LEGO Friends, consumers' discursive constructions of moral play were embedded in a heteronormative middle-class ideal that discourages expressions of stereotypical femininity. Research limitations/implications-Our data is limited to a number of online forums blogs and web sites. We do not claim to have exhaustively catalogued the reactions to LEGO Friends, but merely to have explored discursive positions staked by consumers in the unfolding debate. Practical/social implications-This research shows that companies can benefit from addressing second-order consumers' negotiations of brand meanings in their marketing research and campaigns, and thus avoid becoming the next target of a moral panic. Originality/value-Our paper addresses brand meaning negotiations by second-order consumers, in this case buyers of children's toys.
New developments in night-vision equipment and techniques

Field: Engineering (Physical Sciences)

The continued loss of lucrative military contracts has caused western manufacturers of night-vision components and systems to review their marketing strategy. But the product range remains essentially unaltered and, as the equipment was originally designed for a military role, it can be unsuited to police use. The paper outlines the present state of low-light surveillance imaging and notes that although development work on image-intensifiers still continues, this work is likely to contract with the reduction in military sponsorship. It reports the use of Russian night-vision equipment by the criminal, the effect of this on police operations, and proposes a way forward for future research and development.
Sulforaphane content enhancement of red cabbage microgreens by using different planting media and nutrition solution

Field: Agricultural and Biological Sciences (Life Sciences)

Abstract Red cabbage contains sulforaphane that have many health benefit. The highest sulforaphane content is found in young plant, known as microgreens. Media and natural plant growth regulator as nutrient solutions adjustments can be used to raise the sulforaphane content of microgreens. This study aims to investigated the best planting media and natural plant growth regulator as nutrient solution to enhanced the sulforaphane content in red cabbage microgreens. Completely randomized design (CRD) with two factors (nutrition solution and planting media) is used for the research. Research result was analyzed by ANOVA followed by Duncan Multiple Range Test. Planting media and nutrition solutions had significant effects on the height, fresh weight, and the content of sulforaphane in microgreens. The combination of vermiculite as planting media and young coconut water as nutrient solution could increase the growth of microgreens, furthermore the used of cocopeat in combination with young coconut water may raise the sulforaphane content of microgreens. The amount of sulforaphane increased by two-fold with the used of cocopeat and young coconut water.
The Role of "Live" in Livestreaming Markets: Evidence Using Orthogonal Random Forest

Field: Economics, Econometrics and Finance (Social Sciences)

A common belief about the growing medium of livestreaming is that its value lies in its "live" component. We examine this belief by comparing how the price elasticity of demand for live events varies before, on the day of, and after livestream. We do this using unique and rich data from a large livestreaming platform that allows consumers to purchase the recorded version of livestream after the stream is over. A challenge in our context is that there exist high-dimensional confounders whose relationships with treatment policy (i.e., price) and outcome of interest (i.e., demand) are complex and only partially known. We address this challenge via the use of a generalized Orthogonal Random Forest framework for heterogeneous treatment effect estimation. We find significant temporal dynamics in the price elasticity of demand over the entire event life-cycle. Specifically, demand becomes less price sensitive over time to the livestreaming day, turning to inelastic on that day. Over the post-livestream period, the demand for the recorded version is still sensitive to price, but much less than in the pre-livestream period. We further show that this temporal variation in price elasticity is driven by the quality uncertainty inherent in such events and the opportunity of real-time interaction with content creators during the livestream.
Argirophyl 'carcinoid-like' breast cancer

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

A great number of studies in the last decades confirmed neuroendocrine tumors and their cells in many organs. In our work we were studying the presence and distrubution of neuroendocrine markers of different types of breast cancers. Thirty (30) samples of breast cancers were used which have been gathered in paraphine blocks on 5-6 micrometre cross sections. The classic method was used in order to verify pathohistological lesions, argirophil method by Grimelius and ABC immunocitochemical technique with an anti-chromogranine, anti-NSE anti-calcitonine. Grimelius reaction was positive in 65% of cancers. Chromogranines showed as same frequency and arrangement as argirophyll. NSE persist in majority of neoplastic cells. Calcitonine is found in chromogranin-positive cells only. Our results suggests on an endocrine nature of some argirophil breast cancers. It is discussed about polipeptide hormone function in regulation of tumor growth.
Reshaping Pharmacy and Allied Health Education for a Post-Pandemic World Using Kotter's Change Model

Field: Health Professions (Health Sciences)

The COVID-19 pandemic brought unprecedented challenges to higher education. The extraordinary challenges created by the pandemic required equally extraordinary efforts from faculty and other stakeholders to rapidly convert face-to-face classes to online/hybrid instruction. This rapid change was facilitated by use of a robust framework for not only making changes in short order but also sustaining the changes to reshape healthcare education for a post-pandemic future. To this end, the chapter discusses the effective use of Kotter's 8-step framework to successfully implement change in healthcare education at a college of pharmacy and allied health professions. This chapter discusses each step of Kotter's 8-step process to create, implement, and sustain change in pharmacy and allied health education. The model integrated people, processes, and effective strategies to create changes amid the pandemic (crisis). Lessons learned and implications for the future in a post-pandemic educational environment are presented.
Fluorometric Determination of Salbutamol in Meat by HPLC with Solid-Phase Extraction

Field: Pharmacology, Toxicology and Pharmaceutics (Life Sciences)

A method for fluorometric determination of salbutamol (SALB) in meat by HPLC with solid-phase extraction was developed.SALB was extracted from meat with 5% metaphosphoric acid solution in the presence of dichloromethane. The extract was adjusted to pH 11-12 and then re-extracted with ethyl acetate-tert-butanol (7:3). The extracted solution was evaporated to dryness. The residue was cleaned up with Bond Elut LRC AccuCAT and Mega Bond Elut C18 cartridges. SALB was separated by HPLC on an ODS column (TSKgel-ODS 80Ts) using 0.05M phosphate buffer (pH 3.0)-MeCN (92:8) as a mobile phase. The fluorescence detector was operated at the excitation wavelength of 225nm and emission wavelength of 310nm.The recoveries from meat (beef, pork and liver) spiked at the level of 100ppb were in the range of 77.6-81.5%, and the detection limit was 5ppb.
Effect of Pantothenic Acid Deficiency on Lipid Metabolism in the Yeast

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

To investigate the influence of pantothenic acid deficiency on mitochondria, Saccharomyces cerevisiae, a pantothenate requiring strain isolate from a commercial baker's yeast was cultured with a pantothenate sufficient (200μg/liter) and a deficient (10μg/liter) medium. These microorganisms were observed morphologically with the electron microscope and analyzed for the lipid composition. And it was recognized that in pantothenate sufficient cells the existence of mitochondria was clear enough, but in the deficient cells the membrane structure of mitochondria was not proved. However, when pantothenate was sufficiently added to the cells in the deficient medium at the exponential phase the formation of mitochondria was detected after 18 hours as in the sufficient cells.In the pantothenate deficient cells, the formation of lipids was markedly inhibited, and phospholipid constituted was almost 85% of the total lipid. And the amount of 32P incorporated into the deficient cells was two times that in the sufficient cells, but the ratio of the count of phospholipid-32P relative to the total was somewhat lower than that of the sufficient cells.In the pantothenate sufficient yeast, the principal fatty acid in total lipid, neutral fat and phospholipid was found to be palmitoleic acid followed by oleic acid regardless of the kind of lipid. In contract, in the deficient cells, oleic acid was the principal component and palmitoleic acid followed it. These results may suggest that (I) pantothenate deficiency affects the membrane formation through the disturbance of lipid metabolism and (II) the organism plays an economical control on the fatty acid synthesis in the deficient condition.
Review of the endemic New Zealand genus Arctesthes Meyrick (Lepidoptera, Geometridae, Larentiinae), with descriptions of two new range-restricted species

Field: Agricultural and Biological Sciences (Life Sciences)

The genus Arctesthes Meyrick (Geometridae: Larentiinae: Xanthorhoini), endemic to the South Island of New Zealand, is revised. Four species are recognised, including two new species, as follows: Arctesthescatapyrrha (Butler, 1877), A.siris (Hudson, 1908), A.titanica sp. nov. and A.avatar sp. nov. All except A.catapyrrha are restricted to subalpine and alpine localities. Adults and genitalia are fully described and illustrated for all species; larvae of A.catapyrrha are also briefly described and illustrated. Only Arctesthescatapyrrha is widespread; A.siris is restricted to a few mountain ranges of Central Otago; A.titanica is only known from two wetland localities in the Von Valley of the Otago Lakes district, and A.avatar is only known from a few wetlands in a restricted area of north-west Nelson. The two new species are considered of very high priority for conservation.
A Case of Leiomyosarcoma of the Femoral Artery; Rare Location and Management at an Advanced Stage

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

Vascular leiomyosarcomas are extremely rare tumours, accounting for less than 1% of all malignant tumours. Venous leiomyosarcomas occur five times more frequently than arterial leiomyosarcomas. These are most often found in the large vessels and less than 50% occur in the peripheral circulation. Median survival has not been quantified. It can be good if radical surgery is performed. Treatment, whatever the stage, requires multidisciplinary management. Surgery with en bloc resection remains the treatment of choice for localised disease; in patients with unresectable locally advanced or metastatic disease, systemic treatment with essentially palliative aims may be proposed. Anthracycline-based treatment is the standard first-line therapy. We report a case report of a 50-year-old female patient with local, pulmonary and bone relapse of an operated left femoral artery leiomyosarcoma in whom we undertook palliative mono-chemotherapy. Conclusion: Vascular leiomyosarcomas are extremely rare tumours, accounting for less than 1% of all malignant tumours. Median survival is dramatic for metastatic patients, with a median survival of 8 months, ranging from 5 to 20 months. Surgery remains the standard curative treatment for the localised stage; for stage 4, single chemotherapy is the treatment of choice.

Baxter elastomeric pumps: Feasibility of weight estimates

Field: Health Professions (Health Sciences)

Purpose Elastomeric pumps are used to infuse a 46-h fluorouracil protocol and patients are asked to visually inspect the pump daily. The pump has a variability of ±10% and there are additional patient variables that can increase this. The feasibility of weighing the pump rather than a visual inspection along with the secondary objective to confirm the pump’s variability in real world conditions was undertaken. Methods Empty pumps were weighed using both pharmacy and kitchen scales. Pumps upon completion of the 46-h infusion were also weighed using both pharmacy and kitchen scales. Results The kitchen scale was as accurate as the pharmacy grade scale. Disconnected pumps showed the expected variability from using these infusor pumps along with a few showing greater variability likely due to patient variables. Conclusion Weighing pumps appears to be feasible both at the pharmacy and home level. Next steps would be to weigh pumps during the infusion to validate an alternate method to simple visual inspection for patients to confirm proper infusing of the pump at their home.

The Effects of Acupuncture at GB34 on Disuse Muscle Atrophy in Rats

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

Disuse muscle atrophy occurs in response to pathologies such as joint immobilization, inactivity or bed rest. Muscle disuse is accompanied by an increase in apoptotic signaling, which mediates some of the responses to unloading in the muscle. GB34 (Yanglingquan) is a acupuncture point on the lower leg and one of the most frequently used points in various skeletomuscular diseases. In this study, the hypothesis that the acupuncture at GB34 could attenuate immobilization-induced skeletal muscle atrophy was tested.

A bioinformatics method for identification of human proteases active against viral envelope glycoproteins: a case study on the SARS-CoV-2 spike protein

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

Many viruses, including SARS-CoV-2, the coronavirus responsible for the COVID-19 pandemic, enter host cells through a process cell-viral membrane fusion that is activated by proteolytic enzymes. Typically, these enzymes are host cell proteases. Identifying the proteases that activate the virus is not a simple task but is important for the development of new antiviral drugs. In this study, we developed a bioinformatics method for identifying proteases that can cleave viral envelope glycoproteins. The proposed approach involves the use of predictive models for the substrate specificity of human proteases and the application of structural analysis method for predicting the vulnerability of protein regions to proteolysis based on their 3D structures. Specificity models were constructed for 169 human proteases using information on their known substrates. A previously developed method for structural analysis of potential proteolysis sites was applied in parallel with specificity models. Validation of the proposed approach was performed on the SARS-CoV-2 spike protein, the proteolysis sites of which had been well studied.
Common mode current prediction from normal mode voltage of printed circuit board with limited width ground pattern

Field: Engineering (Physical Sciences)

Radiated emission due to common mode current is usually dominant in total emission. The common mode current is generated when the ground width of the microstrip structure is narrow. A procedure is proposed to predict common mode current from normal mode voltage at a point where cross-sectional structure is varying. As a result, the predicted spectrum and distribution of common mode current agree well with measured data.
