The Use and Function of Scripture in 1 Maccabees

Field: Arts and Humanities (Social Sciences)

Dongbin Choi argues that the book of 1 Maccabees is written with a linguistic technique that utilizes earlier Jewish texts in various ways in order to promote the religiopolitical agendas of its author. Choi offers a philological and thematic analyses on this scriptural language, and engages in the dialogue between the traditional view that tends to simply treat 1 Maccabees as a religious writing, and the radical view that considers it as a political propaganda. Choi argues that the author of 1 Maccabees deploys scriptural language in such a nuanced way that he both promotes the legitimacy of the Hasmonean rule in Judea under John Hyrcanus I and shows his appreciation of conservative Jewish sensitivity towards their traditions relating to Deuteronomic covenant, biblical judges and Jewish messianism. By discussing past scholarly literature on the use and function of Scripture in 1 Maccabees, various literary, political and cultural aspects that influenced the creation of the text, and finally philological and conceptual parallels between Scripture and 1 Maccabees and the use of Scripture in the eulogies of the Hasmoneans, Choi has created a singular reinterpretation of both text and author.
The OR + AND modeling framework for parallel Prolog models

Field: Computer Science (Physical Sciences)

This paper reports one of the fundamental challenges in the design of parallel Prolog execution models, which is to make available at runtime{emdash}to be used as needed{emdash} all useful AND and OR parallelism that is latent within a program. In order to accomplish this goal, the authors have developed the OR + AND modeling framework, which is based on a new tree representation, the OR + AND tree{emdash}the OR tree augmented by AND parallelism. The advantage of the OR + AND strategy is that certain solutions for the problems of binding for parallel execution, binding for fast serial execution, maintaining serial semantics (side effects), and scheduling parallel work can be obtained in the OR tree, in the context of OR parallelism, and then carried over to the OR + AND tree with little or no additional complexity. The authors illustrate the use of this framework by describing two models developed for shared-memory architecture: an improved window chain model, and an entirely new model, the ancestor/binding list model.

How Are Firms Responding to Philippine FTAs

Field: Economics, Econometrics and Finance (Social Sciences)

The Philippines has been more cautious in its policy toward free trade agreements (FTAs) than other ASEAN member-states, having signed, so far, only one bilateral agreement with Japan in addition to the various ASEAN+1 agreements. While the government is expected to progressively reduce preferential tariffs to zero, Philippine firms have historically been slow to take advantage of FTAs. This survey reaffirms that this awareness and the usage of FTAs need significant improvement among both manufacturing and services sector firms.Identified as the main source of information for FTAs, the government needs to increase the efficiency, scope, and reach of its promotional and technical training programs and to rely further on technology to deliver results. These efforts to enhance FTA utilization are directly linked with the easing of rules of origin (ROOs) compliance and administration. At the national level, these efforts include reforms toward electronic Certificates of Origin and self-certification, and linkage to the national single window. This will improve timelines and ease the entry of micro, small, and medium enterprises. Regional efforts to harmonize ROOs can increase FTA utilization across ASEAN member-countries and pave the way for the forthcoming Regional Comprehensive Economic Partnership.
Bifurcation analysis for a free boundary problem modeling tumor growth

Field: Mathematics (Physical Sciences)

In this paper we deal with a free boundary problem modeling the growth of nonnecrotic tumors.The tumor is treated as an incompressible fluid, the tissue elasticity is neglected and no chemical inhibitor species are present. We re-express the mathematical model as an operator equation and by using a bifurcation argument we prove that there exist stationary solutions of the problem which are not radially symmetric.
Sizing of atrial septal defects to predict successful closure with transcatheter cardioSEAL device.

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

We conducted this retrospective study to compare methods for measuring atrial septal defects and to identify factors affecting echocardiographic measurement of such defects before transcatheter closure with the CardioSEAL'Septal Occluder. We reviewed the records of patients considered for device placement at our institution from January 1997 to April 1999. Atrial septal defect size was measured by transthoracic and transesophageal echocardiography; the stretched diameter was measured during catheterization by fluoroscopy and transesophageal echocardiography. The stretched-diameter fluoroscopic measurement was used for device size selection. Analysis of variance was used to calculate the effect of size, age, and size-by-age interaction. Thirty-one patients (3.3 to 72 years of age) underwent transthoracic and transesophageal echocardiography One patient was excluded from catheterization because of a 25-mm septal defect as indicated by transesophageal echocardiography (our maximum diameter, 15 mm). Thirty patients underwent transcatheter stretched-diameter sizing; 5 were excluded from device implantation because of defects >20 mm by stretched-diameter fluoroscopy (4) or septal length insufficient for device support (1). Implantation was successful in 23/25 patients; 2/23 had a residual shunt. In patients with available results (26/30), the stretched diameter was the same whether measured by stretched-diameter fluoroscopy or transesophageal echocardiography (P=0.007 R square=0.963). Compared with stretched-diameter fluoroscopy, precatheterization transthoracic and transesophageal echocardiography underestimated defect size by a mean of 22% and 13.2%, respectively. When data from those same tests were compared in defects of < or =0 mm and > 10 mm, transthoracic and transesophageal echocardiography were reliable predictors (P=0.003 and P=0.05, respectively) of stretched-diameter size in defects < or =0 mm.

Motor disorders in basal ganglia disease.

Field: Neuroscience (Life Sciences)

The clinical motor symptoms of basal ganglia disease are explored in relation to possible functions of this region of the human brain. It is concluded that Parkinsonian akinesia, and the dyskinesias of chorea, hemiballism and torsion dystonia are likely to represent the critical abnormalities of motor action in human basal ganglia lesions. These motor disorders involve most muscles, all classes of movement, and the individual sequential components of movement, but spare the overall motor plan. It is suggested that Parkinsonian akinesia is due to putaminal dysfunction disrupting the normal automatic execution of learned motor plans. The dyskinesias of chorea, hemiballism and torsion dystonia are conceived as being due to dysfunction of other strio-pallidal regions superimposed upon the normal function of the motor strio-pallidal system.

Tunable work function of a WOx buffer layer for enhanced photocarrier collection of pin-type amorphous silicon solar cells

Field: Materials Science (Physical Sciences)

An in situ postdeposition ultraviolet treatment was proposed to improve the electrical properties of a tungsten oxide (WOx) buffer layer of pin-type amorphous silicon-based solar cell. Based on the x-ray and ultraviolet photoelectron spectroscopy and the activation energy measurements, it was found that the work function of WOx is tunable by ultraviolet light treatment, and the collection performance of solar cells incorporating WOx with the lower work function is further improved. Moreover, the optimal band alignment scheme for a window layer is discussed in terms of obtaining enhanced carrier collection without open circuit voltage degradation.
Lipid–protein interactions in virus assembly and budding from the host cell plasma membrane

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

Lipid enveloped viruses contain a lipid bilayer coat that protects their genome to help facilitate entry into the new host cell. This lipid bilayer comes from the host cell which they infect. After viral replication, the mature virion hijacks the host cell plasma membrane where it is then released to infect new cells. This process is facilitated by the interaction between phospholipids that make up the plasma membrane and specialized viral matrix proteins. This step in the viral lifecycle may represent a viable therapeutic strategy for small molecules that aim to block enveloped virus spread. In this review, we summarize the current knowledge on the role of plasma membrane lipid–protein interactions on viral assembly and budding.
Prototype Data Warehouse Kantor Penilai Publik XYZ Dengan Metode Nine-Step Kimball

Field: Computer Science (Physical Sciences)

In the era of information technology, data management has become crucial for organizations. The Public Appraisal Office (KJPP) XYZ in Palembang City, despite providing accurate property analysis, is still limited to the use of hard disks, hard copies, email, and Excel. This results in a lack of integration and efficiency in their operations. Therefore, this research proposes a solution in the form of designing a data warehouse prototype using the Nine-Step Kimball method. This method is employed as a systematic approach in designing and building a data warehouse, with the aim of ensuring effective and relevant development for business needs. The design will organize data into table components, creating regularity and centralization of data to facilitate search and analysis. The inspiration for this research comes from similar implementations in online market transactions and television editorial decisions using the snowflake schema and the successful Nine-Step Kimball method. It is hoped that through this approach, KJPP XYZ can optimize access, analysis, and use of the data.
The effect of the vessel wall motion on color flow mapping images

Field: Engineering (Physical Sciences)

This study focus on the effects of motions of vessel wall on the color flow mapping (CFM) images and whether the CFM images can truthfully reflect the behaviors of the vessel wall and blood flow.By coupling numerical Runge-Kutta and ultrasound simulation method, a model is proposed to generate CFM images, considering wall vibration, vessel stenosis and blood pulsatility.The cases with six different wall oscillation frequencies and four different stenosis degrees are investigated.The results show that the motion of vessel wall has effect on CFM images, and the generated CFM images will reflect the motion of vessel wall.Thus, this simulation model can be used as a tool to assess the interaction between the vessel wall and blood flow motion, and to evaluate ultrasound signal processing and visualization techniques.
Scaling solutions and weak gravity in dark energy with energy and momentum couplings

Field: Physics and Astronomy (Physical Sciences)

We argue that the $Λ$CDM tensions of the Hubble-Lemaitre expansion rate $H_0$ and the clustering normalization $σ_8$ can be eased, at least in principle, by considering an interaction between dark energy and dark matter in such a way to induce a small and positive early effective equation of state and a weaker gravity. For a dark energy scalar field $ϕ$ interacting with dark matter through an exchange of both energy and momentum, we derive a general form of the Lagrangian allowing for the presence of scaling solutions. In a subclass of such interacting theories, we show the existence of a scaling $ϕ$-matter-dominated-era ($ϕ$MDE) which can potentially alleviate the $H_0$ tension by generating an effective high-redshift equation of state. We also study the evolution of perturbations for a model with $ϕ$MDE followed by cosmic acceleration and find that the effective gravitational coupling relevant to the linear growth of large-scale structures can be smaller than the Newton gravitational constant $G$ at low redshifts. The momentum exchange between dark energy and dark matter plays a crucial role for realizing weak gravity, while the energy transfer is also required for the existence of $ϕ$MDE.

Micro‐chemical surface investigation of brittle carthaginian and roman silver artefacts

Field: Materials Science (Physical Sciences)

Brittle Carthaginian and Roman silver artefacts, such as bracelets, coins, small jewels and cups, were found in extremely brittle condition during archaeological excavations in different Italian archaeological sites. Some of these silver objects are accidentally easily broken with little applied force and with only small deformation. In order to identify the origin of brittleness, fresh fractured surfaces have been investigated by means of the combined use of surface and micro analytical techniques such as X‐ray photoelectron spectroscopy, scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and field‐emission SEM (FESEM) equipped with an energy dispersive X‐ray spectrometer, optical microscopy and X‐ray diffraction. The overall experimental findings show that the main external brittleness agents are chloride ions that come from the soil of the excavation sites and attack the silver artefacts along the grain boundaries forming a thin layer or islands of silver chloride.

Gravitational vacuum and prospects for the achievement of controlled high-energy processes

Field: Physics and Astronomy (Physical Sciences)

A criterion for the occurrence of high-energy processes (fission and fusion) is derived as a generalization of the mass formula relating the parameters of stable particles in gravitational-vacuum theory. This approach is used to obtain a gravitational analog of the Lawson criterion. The application of this criterion to present-day and planned controlled-fusion devices is considered, and improvements necessary in planned inertial-compression devices are indicated.
Assessing Health Literacy Levels of Hispanic Patients with Type 2 Diabetes at a Federally Qualified Health Center in Rural Kansas

Field: Health Professions (Health Sciences)

Problem: Hispanic adults have been associated with the lowest levels of health literacy (U.S. Department of HHS, 2010). The high prevalence of low health literacy and type 2 diabetes (T2D) among the Hispanic population likely contributes to the disproportionate burden of diabetes-related complications among Hispanic populations (Chukwueke & Cordero-MacIntyre, 2010). Project Aims: The aim of this project was to determine the readability level of current diabetes education materials provided to patients and assess the health literacy level of Hispanic patients with T2D in a health center in rural Kansas. Project Method: The Fry Readability Formula was used to assess the readability level of current diabetes patient education materials (PEMs) in both English and Spanish. The Newest Vital Sign (NVS) screening tool was administered to 25 Hispanic patients with T2D. NVS scores of 0 to 3 were indicated at risk for limited health literacy; while, those scored 4 to 6 were considered to have adequate health literacy. Results: The Fry Readability Formula estimated diabetes PEMs were written at an eighth-grade reading level. Out of the 25 patients who participated in the study, 20 (80%) scored at risk for limited health literacy via the NVS assessment. Further analysis found a significant association between health literacy level and gender (p=0.0092) and native language (p=0.041227). Conclusion: Findings from this study revealed an overall gap between the average health literacy level of the study sample and the estimated readability level of current diabetes PEMs. In order to improve the delivery of diabetes self-management education and support (DSME/S) among this population, providers must be aware of patients with limited health literacy and incorporate more effective teaching strategies to ensure an understanding.
Study on selective reduction of Benzo(a)Pyrene from cigarette smoke by mesoporous materials

Field: Chemical Engineering (Physical Sciences)

Me-incorporated M-48 molecular sieves have been hydrothermally synthesized using a co- templating route and were characterized by X-ray diffraction, transmission electron microscope and nitrogen adsorption. MCM-48 and Ce-MCM-48 act as the shape-selective catalysts on tobacco and provide a good means to reduce the benzo(a)pyrene [B(a)P] in mainstream smoke of cigarettes. The incorporation of cerium into the mesoporous silica host can effectively improve its catalytic activity, by which the B(a)P can been effectively reduced.
