Instructing Literary Practice in The Shepherd of Hermas

This chapter explores an early second-century text: <italic>The Shepherd of Hermas</italic>. This text was part of the <italic>Codex Sinaiticus</italic>, the fundamental Bible manuscript of the fourth century with the siglum Aleph. In its biographical dimension, the text describes a religious practice. It formulates the mode of its reception through multiple references to distribution and writing. Writing the text is therefore described as part of the religious practice of the narrator and protagonist called “Hermas.” This is not about a unique action. The text may in fact, in its different layers, reflect the work of several years and multiple attempts to convey the visionary insights, primarily, in the additions and corrections necessitated by the author's patron. The resulting text invited its audience to engage in individual religious practice and offered itself for appropriation by any of those in situations that are not described as entirely hopeless.

High Density Epidermoid

A 43-year-old woman presented with ataxia and right-sided cranial nerve palsies. Ten years prior to admission, she was operated for a right cerebellopontine (CP) angle epidermoid. Computed tomography (CT) scan, using GE 9800, showed a large high-density mass without enhancement effect in the right CP angle. The density ranged between 60 and 66 Hounsfield units. Surgery revealed a recurrent epidermoid cyst containing a viscid, dark-green fluid without any cholesterol crystal or clots. Chemical analyses of the cyst content disclosed protein and lipid concentrations 25.6 g/dl and 1, 275 mg/dl, respectively. Ion chromatography revealed only a trace of metal ions. Thin layer chromatography of the lipids showed high phospholipids and low triglyceride, indicating that the high density in this case was not caused by an intratumoral hemorrhage but by desquamation of the squamous epithelium with accumulation of sloughed debris. Two cases of high-density epidermoids subjected to protein analysis were found in the literature. From these data including the authors' it was shown that CT density correlated well with the protein concentration.

Electrical coupling synchronizes subthreshold activity in locus coeruleus neurons in vitro from neonatal rats

Locus coeruleus neurons in brain slices prepared from neonatal rats have rhythmic oscillations in membrane potential at frequencies ranging from 0.3 to 3 Hz. Recordings from pairs of neurons separated by 50–300 microns showed that this oscillatory activity was synchronized at ages less than 24 d. Slices cut from rats 24–27 d old showed rhythmic activity which was only partially synchronous between cell pairs, but full synchrony could be restored by superfusion with tetraethylammonium (2 mM) and/or barium (2 mM). No synchronous rhythmic activity was observed between neurons in slices from rats 40 d old, even in the presence of tetraethylammonium and barium. In those cells in which rhythmic potential oscillations were synchronous, action potentials occurring in one cell were not observed in the second cell. Electrotonic coupling was directly demonstrated between 41% of neurons (12 of 29 pairs) in slices from rats less than 10 d old but not in tissue from older rats (4 pairs). The input resistance of neurons from neonatal rats (less than 15 d old) was about half (81 M omega) that measured under identical conditions from neurons from adult rats (213 M omega). The electrotonic potential in cells from rats less than 15 d old was best fit by a double exponential, whereas that from adults was best fit by a single exponential. The results demonstrate that significant electrical coupling occurs among locus coeruleus neurons from neonatal rats; this appears to decline with age. The coupling serves as a low-pass filter and causes the synchronized occurrence of membrane potential oscillations. Such a rhythmic background activity within the entire nucleus may be important for the widespread trophic role of the noradrenergic neurons during development.

Lung placental transmogrification presenting as progressive unilateral interstitial lung disease.

Placental transmogrification of the lung is an extremely rare lung disease frequently associated with hamartomas or unilateral bullous emphysema. We report a case of placental transmogrification of the lung in a 44-year-old male who presented with bronchial infections, hyperlucent left lung and progressive cystic and micronodular unilateral interstitial lung disease. Because of interstitial lung disease progression over 13 years, a left pneumonectomy was performed. After a two-year follow-up, the patient was asymptomatic and did not exhibit any lung infections. No recurrence was observed on the right lung. <i>(Sarcoidosis Vasc Diffuse Lung Dis 2017; 34: 188-190)</i>.

Direct and Indirect Effects of Pisaster ochraceus on tide pool communities

Pisaster ochraceus is a major predator in intertidal ecosystems in the western United States and may play a pivotal role in tide pool community distribution and diversity. The purpose of this study was to determine the effects of Pisaster presence on a dominant gastropod genus (Tegula), as well was the indirect effects on the tide pool community in Bodega Bay, CA. Short-term experiments were conducted that involved adding Pisaster to previously Pisaster-free pools and monitoring Tegula flee response. Long-term experiments were conducted by bagging Pisaster, attaching the filled bags within pools, and monitoring how presence alone affected the entire pool community (mobile species and percent cover of sessile species). The key factor in both short and long-term experiments was solely Pisaster presence, in both experiments Pisaster were unable to prey. Short-term experiments clearly (p< 0.07) showed an immediate Tegula flee response with the addition of Pisaster into pools. Long-term experiments showed a decline in Tegula abundance and in mobile species richness and diversity in treatment pools. No change was seen in sessile species richness or diversity over the course of the experiment. This study suggests Pisaster has a clear direct effect on Tegula and other mobile species while indirect effects on sessile species may not occur.

The preservative roles of barley extract on physico-chemical treats of common carp (&lt;em&gt;Cyprinus carpio&lt;/em&gt; L.) fillets under refrigerated condition

The study was carried out to determine the effect of barley extract on the shelf life of common carp fillets that refrigerated at 4°C through thiobarbituric acid (TBA), pH, water holding capacity, moisture contents and cooking loss. Using of thiobarbituric acid proved suitable for studying lipid hydrolysis and primary and secondary lipid oxidation in samples of common carp throughout refrigerated storage. Barley powder extract solutions (water extraction) were prepared at the concentration of 0.5%, 1% and 1.5 % (v/v), also, control without adding barley extract. The samples were then stored under refrigerated conditions (4.0°C) for 0, 3 and 6 days until analysis. The results confirmed the efficacy of natural antioxidants derived from barley slowing down lipid hydrolysis and increasing the oxidative stability of common carp flesh.

ACETABULAR RECONSTRUCTION FOR METASTATIC LESIONS IN THE PELVIS WITH A NEW CAGE IMPLANT

The treatment of acetabular metastases with total hip arthroplasty is technically challenging often with significant loss of structural continuity in the medial wall and roof of the acetabulum, as described by Harrington in 1981 as class III defects. Traditionally the acetabular component is stabilised with Harrington rods but the risk of post-operative complications, especially bleeding is significant. We performed 10 consecutive total hip arthroplasties in patients with metastases involving the acetabulum with Harrington class III defects. The first three patients had acetabular reconstruction with a Kerboull cage, (Stryker Howmedica.) The cage was secured using a combination of screw fixation to the ileum and PMMA cement filling voids behind the cage. A polyethylene acetabular cup is then cemented into the cage. There was concern about the superior fixation using this implant and so the remaining 7 patients were treated using the Graft Augmentation Prosthesis (GAP II), (Stryker How-medica.) This is a titanium reconstruction cage with two superior flanges allowing extensive screw fixation onto the ileum. Two patients had very large defects where there was not sufficient support to use this cage alone, so the technique was augmented with Harrington rods. No implants have failed to date. One patient, an 83 year old female, died 23 days post-operatively after suffering a stroke. Two patients died of their disease 95 and 115 days after surgery. The remaining patients continue to have good pain and mobility following surgery as demonstrated by the Oxford hip score. We conclude that in suitable patients with extensive metastatic involvement of the acetabulum, a flanged acetabular reconstruction cage prosthesis is much improved way of providing support for a total hip replacement. This procedure can greatly improve quality of life, and to date we have had no mechanical failures of fixation using this technique.

Clinical significance of blood coagulation function in patients with breast cancer treated by chemotherapy

The objective of this study was to investigate the dynamic changes and clinical significance of blood coagulation function pre and post chemotherapy in patients with breast cancer.Prothrombin time(PT),activated partial thromboplastin time(APTT),fibrinogen(FIB)and thrombin time(TT) were measured in 100 breast cancer patients pre and post chemotherapy.In addition,the results were compared with those in 100 healthy and benign tumor subjects(control group).The variation of coagulation indexes was observed pre and post chemotherapy and compared in intra-and inter-groups.There were no significant difference in PT,APTT and TT between breast cancer patients and the control group pre chemotherapy(P0.05),while the FIB levels of breast cancer patients were higher than those of the control group(P0.05).There was no significant difference in PT and APTT pre and post chemotherapy(P0.05),while the FIB levels of patients after chemotherapy were obviously higher than those of patients before chemotherapy(P0.05).TT were significantly shorter in patients after chemotherapy than those in patients before chemotherapy(P0.05).In conclusion,monitoring the blood coagulation regularly may be useful for assessing the prognosis,recurrence and transfer of breast cancer after chemotherapy.The changes of the blood coagulation function may provide valuable scientific basis for clinical therapy.

Sequence stratigraphy of a southern Paleotethys distally-steepened ramp during the Early Carboniferous (Alborz Basin, Iran): Deciphering Tectonic and Eustatic controls

The Lower Carboniferous carbonate sediments of the Mobarak Formation have been analysed to evaluate the role of allogenic and autogenic factors on the development of a distally steepened carbonate platform. Thirteen facies are identified in the studied succession and are grouped into four facies associations: inner ramp FA‒FB; middle ramp FC; ramp slope FD; and deep ramp FE. The rifting event at the northern margin of the Gondwana supercontinent caused a remarkable change in the depositional system so that the precursor homoclinal ramp (Khosheilagh Formation, Devonian) turned into the distally steepened ramp of the Mobarak Formation. Six depositional sequences are identified in the succession, characterized by varieties the normal transgression‒regression cycles, the TST‒HST, or the transgression‒forced regression cycles consisting of the TST‒HST‒FSST. The main controlling elements in the stacking pattern of sedimentary packages, relative sea-level changes and the formation of depositional sequences were tectonic activity and eustatic sea-level changes. Development of the FSST package was caused by the increasing tectonic activity and the formation of turbiditic sediments, amplified by wave-induced currents as the autogenic factor on formation of the re-sedimented deposits. Development of the HST deposits displays a relative balance between sedimentation rate and the creation of accommodation space. Thick packages of deep ramp calcareous shale were developed during quiescence in the tectonic activity and increase in accommodation space, created by thermal subsidence and rise in eustatic sea-level.

International Migration in Southeast Asia

Population mobility increases with economic development and globalization. The migration of people affects countries in many ways -- socially, economically and politically. However, there are fundamental tensions in efforts to manage international migration in a globalizing world. On the one hand, business is transnational as it necessitates the unrestricted flow of people internationally. On the other hand, politics is still national. In an integrated world economy, trade, flow of capital, flow of labour, flow of raw materials and technology are inter-related. This study therefore examines international migration in the context of an integrated world economy. Specifically, it looks at the history of migration in modern Southeast Asia; investments, remittances and welfare; the vulnerability of workers; national migration policies; and the problem of irregular migrants.

Geophysical data and gradient translation using deep neural networks

Image-to-image translation generative adversarial networks (GANs) have been applied successfully to a wide variety of non-geophysical problems, from mundane implementations to turn horses into zebras, to stunning synthetic media deep-fakes. We explore similar applications in geophysics as cost-reduction tools, and demonstrate their potential on 3D field data. We show these networks can be used to learn the mapping between different data types in data processing workflows: acoustic-to-elastic for full-waveform inversion, and hydrophone-to-geophone for wavefield separation.

Using MRI to Determine Painful Vertebrae to be Treated by Kyphoplasty in Multiple-Level Vertebral Compression Fractures: A Prospective Study

A prospective study in 35 osteoporotic patients with 120 multiple-level vertebral compression fractures (VCFs) assessed the use of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) to determine painful vertebrae for treatment with kyphoplasty (KP). A total of 51 vertebrae were identified as painful and selected for KP based on changes in MRI signal intensity between T1-weighted, T2-weighted and short tau inversion recovery MRI. Efficacy was assessed by the mean change in anterior/middle vertebral body height, Cobb's angle, a visual analogue pain scale and the Oswestry Disability Index at pre-operative, post-operative and final follow-up assessments. Significant improvements in all efficacy measures were observed at the post-operative versus pre-operative assessments; no significant differences were observed between post-operative and final follow-up assessments. It is concluded that painful vertebrae can be determined by MRI signal intensity changes and their selection for KP can improve outcomes in patients with multiple-level VCFs.

Advancing Communication And Collaboration Between Multilingual And Special Education Departments: A Web-Based Model To Serve Dual Eligible Students

There was at the time the project commenced, an unmistakable chasm not only between the two departments within the author’s school district, but also in literature in general, and the author’s goal was to create a living document where the two areas of expertise converged. The research question asked in this project was, how can communication between ESL (English as a second language) teachers and special education staff be improved to better serve dual eligible students? It documents one teacher’s creation of a website designed to assist ESL teachers who work with students who qualify for both ESL and special education services. Many of the linguistic characteristics seen in the first language development of a child with a disability, will also be seen in second or subsequent languages. The author breaks down language skills into the four domains of speaking, listening, reading and writing, describing various features that can occur as the result of a disability or disabilities. Influenced by studies in child development, communication disorders and second language acquisition, she combined the fields of ESL and special education to create a comprehensive website to better understand what the language of an English learner with a disability might look like with respect to capacities, idiosyncrasies and limitations. The most important conclusion of the project was, that far more research needs to be done surrounding dual eligible students, but that best practice is to consider where on the continuum of service a student falls in order to meet his or her unique needs.

Built-In Self-Test Trends in Motorola Microprocessors

The first built-in self-test feature in a Motorola sidered a "wart" until a RAM test application recast it as a "feature." Though the BIST approach-an idea conceived as a way to reduce production costs for the MC6805 family-did not meet its major design objective, the experience provided impetus for the development of BIST techniques for the MC6804P2, which met most of the objectives intended for the MC6805P2. The Motorola microprocessor family has come to incorporate a growing number of testability features; current devices typically employ a combination of BIST and other techniques. If present trends continue, transistor counts for microprocessor-related parts should approach 10 million within 10 years. The authors argue that structured design techniques offer the most promising prospects for solving the design and test problems resulting from this increase in complexity.

Nanoscale force sensing of an ultrafast nonlinear optical response

Significance Optical properties of materials are governed by nanoscale charge motion induced by ultrafast light fields. Here, we demonstrate that the electrostatic force originating from light-induced electron motion in a dielectric can be measured using atomic force microscopy. We observe changes in the force originating from second-order nonlinear optical interactions in the sample on a sub-15-nm scale and 100-fs time resolution. The time resolution is set by the light pulse characteristics, not by the properties of the force sensor. Our method does not rely on nonlinear tip–sample interactions, thus advancing the possibility to observe ultrafast nonlinear light–matter interactions with spatial resolution in any material. We envision this technique will allow the correlation of nanometer structure with light-induced time-resolved kinetics.

Case‐finding in Fabry disease: experience from the North of England

Abstract The advent of effective therapy for Fabry disease (FD) creates two challenges: (1) how do we identify individuals with the condition early in its natural history, and (2) how many people have the condition and require expensive therapy? Between 1981 and 2011, 17 new FD families were referred to the Northern Genetics Service in the North of England, the majority between 2005 and 2001. Since 2009 we have employed biochemical screening in dried blood spots from individuals with high risk phenotypes, such as left ventricular hypertrophy and unexplained renal failure, to identify four of the new index cases; and we have offered comprehensive cascade genetic testing to identify pre‐symptomatic and symptomatic cases of FD in their 233 ‘at risk’ relatives. Overall, this combined approach identified a further 23 symptomatic cases of FD and 38 asymptomatic cases. The uptake of cascade genetic testing in this cohort was 48 %, which is similar to other inherited disorders for which there is an effective intervention. The minimum prevalence of GLA mutation in the North of England population at the end of 2011 was 1 in 40,800 and the prevalence of symptomatic FD was 1 in 64,600. Improved uptake of cascade genetic testing would increase these estimates to a maximum of 1 in 21,800 and 1 in 49,000 respectively. We suggest that any protocol for case identification should consist of targeted biochemical screening and coordinated cascade genetic testing.
