Refusing to be silenced: Claiming chaos narrative

Field: Arts and Humanities (Social Sciences)

Abstract In the Wounded Storyteller , Arthur Frank proposed three types of narrative told by people attempting to reclaim their voice and the body made alien by illness – restitution, quest, and chaos. Restitution narrative has dominated media; in it, the patient simply experiences the disease and is presented passively, and the medical community is presented as having agency. In quest narrative, the experiencer becomes their own hero; their suffering brings knowledge which is then shared with the audience who bears witness and is charged with learning the lesson the experience conveys. In quest narrative, while speakers have agency that they are often robbed of in the restitution narrative, they are saddled with the imperative to inspire others. This makes the narrator a hero, but we need to ask, where does the imperative come from that demands that the narrator become a hero and an example for others? If that imperative comes from the audience and market demands, we need to recognize how they are dictating the manner in which stories are told, determining which are selected by publishers and media venues to be disseminated. The third type, the chaos narrative, is rarely encountered by audiences because the chaos narrative is usually erased. This “anti-narrative” can only be lived and cannot be told. The individual living with chronic physical or mental illness or a disability, who cannot be stoic and turn their story into a quest narrative, is rendered mute. Since restitution narrative is also unavailable to these individuals, their stories are left unspoken or unwritten. Their stories have largely been controlled by external agents. Failure to meet normate expectations has meant rejection. How prescriptive norms arose that delegitimatized the authority of chaos narrative must be understood if authentic chaos narrative is to be spoken and written.
Special Issue Ceramics Integration. Integration of Ferroelectric Ca2Bi4Ti5O18 Thin Films on Pt-Passivated Si via Spin-Coating Technique.

Field: Materials Science (Physical Sciences)

Ca2Bi4Ti5O18 (CBTi245) thin films were deposited by spin-coating a precursor solution of metal alkoxides on Pt-passivated Si substrates. Thickness of the as-deposited amorphous layer affected the nucleation site, microstructure and electrical properties. The onset of crystallization of thin films to a pyrochlore phase was below 550°C via rapid thermal annealing in oxygen. A perovskite phase developed by further annealing at temperatures of 650°C or higher. The CBTi245 thin films which were prepared by multi-coating and multicrystallizing of the 20 nm-thick amorphous layer showed random orientation, a columnar-like structure, and P-E hysteresis loops.
ProcessPainter: Learn Painting Process from Sequence Data

Field: Computer Science (Physical Sciences)

The painting process of artists is inherently stepwise and varies significantly among different painters and styles. Generating detailed, step-by-step painting processes is essential for art education and research, yet remains largely underexplored. Traditional stroke-based rendering methods break down images into sequences of brushstrokes, yet they fall short of replicating the authentic processes of artists, with limitations confined to basic brushstroke modifications. Text-to-image models utilizing diffusion processes generate images through iterative denoising, also diverge substantially from artists' painting process. To address these challenges, we introduce ProcessPainter, a text-to-video model that is initially pre-trained on synthetic data and subsequently fine-tuned with a select set of artists' painting sequences using the LoRA model. This approach successfully generates painting processes from text prompts for the first time. Furthermore, we introduce an Artwork Replication Network capable of accepting arbitrary-frame input, which facilitates the controlled generation of painting processes, decomposing images into painting sequences, and completing semi-finished artworks. This paper offers new perspectives and tools for advancing art education and image generation technology.
Characterization of Different Types of Crystallization from Cocoa Butter by Using Terahertz Spectroscopy

Field: Chemistry (Physical Sciences)

Three different cocoa butter polymorphs have been determined by X-ray diffraction (XRD) and terahertz spectroscopy in the range of 0–11 THz. Specific procedures to produce different types of crystallization were detailed. The results from XRD analysis showed that the three polymorphic forms of cocoa butter were α, β′ (III), and β (V) forms. Terahertz spectroscopy showed different features according to different types of crystallization forms. An observable sharp peak at 6.80 THz can be detected from β (V) type and original samples, whilst α type presented the broad peak at this frequency, respectively. Peaks at 4.25 THz and 5.21 THz were detected in β type (V) form, whilst no noticeable peaks were observed from other samples at those frequencies. This study innovatively showed a great potential to apply terahertz spectroscopy to control the tempering during chocolate manufacturing.
The Assignment of Workers to Tasks with Endogenous Supply of Skills

Field: Economics, Econometrics and Finance (Social Sciences)

This paper presents a general equilibrium assignment model of workers to tasks with endogenous supply of skills. In the model, skills are endogenous and multidimensional, and two types of assignment occur: workers self‐select the type of skills to supply, and firms assign workers to tasks. The model shows that the impact of any skill‐biased technical change on wage inequality is tightly related to the distribution of skills in the population. When the supply of skills is endogenous, productivity effects can be overestimated or underestimated by wage data, and Johnson's ( ) distinction between intensive and extensive technical change is impossible.
Valued capital(s) and devalued labour in London’s "gig economy"

Field: Social Sciences (Social Sciences)

A considerable body of literature on the “gig economy” is dedicated to exploited and precarious labour. This thesis set out to examine the undertheorised role of capitals (economic, social and cultural) and the relationship between these capitals and labour on gig platforms. It found that capitals, in combination with debt, play an important role in shaping the lived experiences of “entrepreneurs” in the “gig economy”. It is argued, therefore, that class analysis of the “gig economy” must consider not only exploited labour, but also debt and forms of capital. Methodologically, this thesis engages in thematic analysis of 40 in-depth interviews with “entrepreneurs” who use three “gig economy” platforms: AirBnB, Uber and Amazon Flex. These analyses offer insights into how obligations on platform users’ future labour, that is debt, degrade agency for the worker while increasing it for the company, increasing risk for the worker while decreasing it for the company. Debt is a core functionality of some “gig” platforms and built into their wider business model where some platforms operate in ways which produce dependency among their workers. Economic, social and cultural capitals, on the other hand, allow for some “entrepreneurs” to set themselves apart through distinction on platforms such as AirBnB; escape risk (across all three platforms); avoid aspects of labour (particularly on Amazon Flex and AirBnB); and avoid some of the downsides that other “gig” workers face. Rating systems play a big part in this, but a different part depending on the platform in question – on some competitive market platforms (AirBnB, for instance) they allow those with the right forms of capital to stand out and earn more money on the platform; on non-competitive market platforms (Uber, Amazon Flex) they serve predominantly as disciplinary mechanisms which put the driver under constant pressure to provide better service (without economic recognition). Overall, it is argued that, through these dynamics, the “gig economy” has the potential to increase existing inequalities by devaluing the indebted subject and those who bring mainly their labour, while valuing the capital-rich subject who is able earn more through digital platforms than they could in traditional markets. This thesis therefore offers a theorisation of the “gig economy” that does not exclusively focus on destabilised labour, but rather, contextualises labour within frameworks of debt and capital that clarify dramatically different outcomes for “entrepreneurial” subjects with different resources.
CDCA7 is an evolutionarily conserved hemimethylated DNA sensor in eukaryotes

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

Mutations of the SNF2 family ATPase HELLS and its activator CDCA7 cause immunodeficiency, centromeric instability, and facial anomalies syndrome, characterized by DNA hypomethylation at heterochromatin. It remains unclear why CDCA7-HELLS is the sole nucleosome remodeling complex whose deficiency abrogates the maintenance of DNA methylation. We here identify the unique zinc-finger domain of CDCA7 as an evolutionarily conserved hemimethylation-sensing zinc finger (HMZF) domain. Cryo–electron microscopy structural analysis of the CDCA7-nucleosome complex reveals that the HMZF domain can recognize hemimethylated CpG in the outward-facing DNA major groove within the nucleosome core particle, whereas UHRF1, the critical activator of the maintenance methyltransferase DNMT1, cannot. CDCA7 recruits HELLS to hemimethylated chromatin and facilitates UHRF1-mediated H3 ubiquitylation associated with replication-uncoupled maintenance DNA methylation. We propose that the CDCA7-HELLS nucleosome remodeling complex assists the maintenance of DNA methylation on chromatin by sensing hemimethylated CpG that is otherwise inaccessible to UHRF1 and DNMT1.

Optimization of Iron Oxide (Fe2O3) Addition Parameters on the Physical Properties of Al-Si Alloys as an Advanced Material Innovation

Field: Materials Science (Physical Sciences)

Aluminum-silicon alloys are widely used in the industrial world, one of which is because they have high wear resistance. The aim of this research is to determine the physical and mechanical properties of the Al-Si alloy after strengthening by mixing reinforcing materials. The research method uses Taguchi optimization and analysis of the physical properties of the Al-Si alloy test results. The results showed that the highest hardness value was obtained in the 7th experiment, namely with a rotation variation of 2000 rpm, temperature of 6000C, and holding time of 60 seconds. This result is in line with the results of the tensile strength test, where the highest tensile strength was also obtained in the 7th experiment. This result is supported by the results of other researchers, which show that the higher the rotation in the casting results in higher hardness. The results of the microphotographs show that all alloy materials have an even distribution of grains, the grain size appears small, and the dendrites in the raw Al-Si alloy appear small compared to other materials. The macro photo results show that all alloy materials have fractures that appear brittle, as evidenced by the fact that these fractures provide light reflection.
Application of Artificial Intelligence in Neuromarketing to Predict Consumer Behaviour Towards Brand Stimuli

Field: Computer Science (Physical Sciences)

This research aims to analyse the current level of accuracy in predicting consumer behaviour in response to brand stimuli using artificial intelligence, comparing the results with an analysis conducted using neuromarketing biometrics. The study aims to determine the accuracy achieved in predicting consumer levels of attention and visual attraction towards visual stimuli, compared to the results recorded in a neuromarketing investigation with real users, through eye tracking. The implications of these comparative analyses are discussed in the final part of the article, concluding that the emotional intelligence tool provides very accurate predictions of consumer behaviour in response to visual stimuli. The results of this study revealed that the prediction of the percentage of users who would view each area of interest is very good, and regarding visual attraction (time until the first viewing of each area of interest), it is quite similar to the order observed by the consumer group; consequently, the level of approximation to reality of AI is very good.
Spittle in Ancient Egyptian Religious Texts

Field: Arts and Humanities (Social Sciences)

Spittle carried important symbolic reference in Pyramid texts, Coffin texts and the Book of the Dead, where it was related to the gods like the god "Horus" who spat milk from his mouth and spat his Spittle to face his enemy "Seth".Spittle was also related to the god "Papi" who spat poison on the body.Spittle also participated in treatments from diseases, where spitting on wounds helped them to cure, while spitting on hair locks helped its growth.Rivers flow with spittle discharging from the mouth to open by this the horizon doors so that the deceased could ascend to heaven.Spittle was connected to myths like the creation myth, the myth of Horus and Seth, solar myths such as "Re and Apopis".
The relationship between hematological inflammatory indices and clinical findings in patients with acromegaly

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

INTRODUCTION: We primarily aimed to investigate the hematologic inflammatory parameters such as mean platelet volume (MPV), neutrophil-lymphocyte ratio (NLR), and platelet–lymphocyte ratio (PLR) in patients with acromegaly. We also aimed to reveal the importance of these parameters in determining disease activity. METHODS: The medical data of 535 patients with acromegaly were retrospectively reviewed. The sociodemographic characteristics, presence of comorbid disease, acromegaly-related clinical and medical treatment characteristics, insulinlike growth factor-1 and growth hormone levels at diagnosis, postoperative 3rd month and last visit, and hematologic inflammatory markers and indices at last visit were obtained from the patients' medical charts. The patients were divided into age-, sex-, and comorbid disease-matched four groups according to their last remission status: active disease, remission with only surgery, remission with medication, and discordant disease. Finally, a total of 290 patients were included. RESULTS: We examined a total of 290 patients with acromegaly after primary therapy; 36 had active disease, 77 were in remission with only surgery, 129 were in remission with medication, and 48 had a discordant disease. When the patients were categorized by last remission status, the median MPV was higher in patients with discordant disease than in the remission group with only surgery, and there were no differences in terms of the NLR and PLR between groups. When the participants were divided into two groups according to the presence of remission at the postoperative 3rd month, patients who had remission had lower MPV levels than those who had not. However, the groups had similar features for the NLR and PLR. DISCUSSION AND CONCLUSION: Our results, particularly those that reveal positive association between MPV and remission status, indicate that subclinical inflammation may play a role in increased mortality and morbidity. Therefore, in addition to patients with active disease, patients with discordant disease should be followed closely for cardiovascular risks.
Metaphor in Digital Tourism Discourse: Analysing TripAdvisor Reviews in English and Greek

Field: Arts and Humanities (Social Sciences)

Previous research on metaphor use in the area of promotional tourism discourse has focused on the examination of the metaphors produced by advertisers, who aim to attract potential tourists. However, previous research was mainly concerned with English promotional tourism discourse, creating the need to analyse metaphor use in other languages as well. This study examines the metaphor use in the promotional tourism discourse by shifting the focus towards texts produced by tourists’ themselves in the form of reviews posted on TripAdvisor platform written by native speakers of English and of Greek to discuss historical locations in Athens. This study aimed to uncover the frequencies, patterns and functions of metaphor use across the two languages. In means of that, this study applied the MIPVU and DMIP protocols for the detection of metaphors at the linguistic and communicative levels. The study found that the overall metaphor frequency is higher in English, but the use of potentially deliberate metaphors is more frequent in Greek. Regarding the patterns of metaphor use this study found that both languages use mostly similar ways of metaphor production with only a few deviations. As for metaphor functions, this study found a diversity of functions with Greek showing a greater variability compared to English.

Isolation, Identification and Optimization of Alkaline Amylase Production from Bacillus cereus Using Agro-Industrial Wastes

Field: Agricultural and Biological Sciences (Life Sciences)

Amylase with maximum activity at alkaline pH prefers most industrial applications. The present study investigate amylase production and optimization by bacterial strain isolated and identified from rice mill waste dumped soil. The potent isolate KR9 was identified based on biochemical characteristics and 16S rRNA gene analysis confirmed that this isolate belonged to the genus Bacillus and it was most closely related to B. cereus (99 % similarity). The selected isolate B. cereus KR9 was optimized for pH, growth period and carbon and nitrogen sources. The highest activity of amylase was obtained at alkaline pH 10.0 after 48 hours (225.2±0.63 U/ml) incubation. Optimization experiment performed with synthetic medium showed starch and peptone as suitable carbon and nitrogen source for amylases production (221±0.77 U/ml). B. cereus KR9 was further evaluated for amylase production using Solid State Fermentation and Submerged Fermentation with wheat bran, rice straw, paddy straw and sugarcane bagasse. The maximum amylase production of 281.1±0.65 U/ml with specific activity of 1.11±0.01 U/mg was observed with wheat bran using Submerged State Fermentation. This work has impending utilizing of agro-industrial waste affords cost effective and ecofriendly method for amylase production.
Hallelujah Halloween

Field: Social Sciences (Social Sciences)

Opening with an ethnographic snapshot from the book launch of one of our key research participants, this chapter engages with the contribution of an important figure in the local Nigerian community as she engages with the Irish education system. This ethnographic chapter is situated in one primary school facing the challenges of integration on the ground. We reflect on multicultural education in Europe and consider the ways in which multiculturalism is articulated in the everyday lives of parents, teachers and school children. This chapter also documents responses by Pentecostal churches and parents to Halloween, which includes holding a rival ‘Hallelujah night’. We take this as an opportunity to reflect broadly on multiculturalism and education in Ireland.
Temperature Sensitivity of the Suprachiasmatic Nucleus of Ground Squirrels and Rats in vitro

Field: Neuroscience (Life Sciences)

Temperature compensation of circadian rhythms in neuronal firing rate was investigated in the suprachiasmatic nucleus (SCN) of ground squirrels and rats in vitro. A reduction in SCN temperature from 37 to 25°C reduced peak firing rates by > 70% in rats but only by = 21% in squirrels; trough firing rates were marginally altered in both species. In the rat SCN at 25°C, the peak in neuronal activity decreased progressively on successive days and circadian rhythms no longer were present by Day 3. There was a 37% reduction in the number of single units detected and an increase in the temporal variability of peak firing rates among individual rat SCN neurons at low temperature. By contrast, single units were readily detected and circadian rhythms were robust in squirrels at 37 and 25°C; a Q 10 of 0.927 was associated with a shortening of tau by 2 h and a 5-h phase change after only 48 h at low temperature. These results suggest that temperature can have a substantial impact on circadian organization in a mammalian pacemaker considered to be temperature compensated.
Constructing Social Reality in Organizational Decision Making

Field: Social Sciences (Social Sciences)

Communication during organizational decision making has often been treated as information exchange, and when social constructionist orientations have been assumed, these have focused on communication related to decision making rather than on talk during decision-making interactions. Shotter’s rhetorical-responsive social constructionist approach is applied to analyzing a faculty senate’s discussion on whether or not to implement a culture and ethnic diversity requirement. This study examines decision-making talk and how, during decision making, participants socially construct a diversity requirement. The vocabularies of diversity and requirement function to define the resolution and allow faculty to demonstrate accountability in different ways. The meanings of these vocabularies are discursively negotiated during decision making; this process reveals competing vocabularies and ambiguity. The conflict over the diversity requirement was resolved through a substitute resolution that reaffirmed the nature of the university as an institutional organization through the vocabulary of good faith. This study shows how decision-making talk constitutes organizations.
The Application of Visual Teaching Resources in Chinese Teaching in Schools for the Deaf*

Field: Arts and Humanities (Social Sciences)

Through the investigation, it is found that there are some problems in the application of Chinese visualization resources in schools for the deaf: less visual teaching resources; less understanding of visual teaching resources by teachers; and lack of pertinence in the selected visual teaching resources.Based on this, in view of the low, middle and high Chinese Language Teaching of deaf students, it is found that the visual teaching resources can improve the enthusiasm and initiative of deaf students, the deaf students can participate in learning activities more actively, the ability of understanding and applying knowledge is enhanced, the academic achievement is obviously improved, and the effectiveness of classroom teaching is improved.
