Us against Them: Ideological and Psychological Aspects of Ashurnasirpal II's Campaign against Assyrian Rebels in Ḫalziluḫa

This paper is a study of the rebellion against the Assyrian king Ashurnasirpal II in the city of Ḫalziluḫa in 882 bc, which is an unusual instance of a rebellion by Assyrians being recorded in the Assyrian royal inscriptions. This paper explores the significance of the rebellion from two angles: the ideological problem of rebellion by Assyrians, and the psychological impact on Assyrian troops of killing their fellow Assyrians. Within the ideology of the royal inscriptions, Assyrians did not normally rebel against the incumbent king, who was in all ways presented as a model ruler. It will be argued that Ashurnasirpal therefore made efforts in his inscriptions to stress that the Assyrian rebels in Ḫalziluḫa inhabited territory that had been lost to Assyria prior to his reign, and had become "de-Assyrianised" and "uncivilised." It will be argued that a similar message was conveyed to the Assyrian soldiers through the ceremonies surrounding the creation of a monument at the source of the River Subnat, and that this message helped the soldiers to "morally disengage" from the act of killing other Assyrians, thus avoiding "moral self-sanctions" for an otherwise morally problematic act.

On the Use of Electronic Documentation Systems in Fast-Paced, Time-Critical Medical Settings

This study examines the use of an electronic flowsheet developed for capturing patient and process information during trauma resuscitation—a high-risk, fast-paced process of treating severely injured patients. Unlike medical records in most hospital units, the resuscitation record necessitates real-time completion because of the ephemeral nature of information and its contemporaneous use for patient care. We draw on in situ observations of 15 resuscitation events to understand how scribes interact with the system in such an environment. Our results showed frequent tab switching and problems navigating the interface, resulting in delayed data capture. We attribute these inefficiencies to the current layout of the electronic flowsheet, where information grouping follows logical rather than context-driven structure. We conclude by discussing design opportunities for future systems to improve both documentation and teamwork processes in fast-paced, time-critical medical settings.

‘It’s my time now’: the experiences of social work degree apprentices

The Social Work Degree Apprenticeship is the latest addition to an ever-growing proliferation of routes through the professional qualification. Mainly recruiting current social care employees, apprenticeships are broadly structured around a ‘day release’ model where work-based learning is highly valued and the academic content is compressed but supported through a variety of mechanisms in the workplace and university. This article reports on small-scale research on the characteristics and experiences of the very first cohort of these apprentices at a university in the North West of the UK, during the first two years of their studies. Data gathering overlapped with the move into a period of COVID-19 lockdown. Using a survey method, both qualitative and quantitative data are presented and contextually discussed under four key headings established through thematic analysis: advancement, the one-day apprentice, support and impact. The research reveals a highly qualified and experienced intake of apprentices who feel well supported and that positive impacts are being made on their practice. The article concludes with some observations on what needs to change to maximize the benefits of this qualifying route, whilst also reflecting on its attractiveness to employers in terms of cost and retention.

Theory for RNA folding, stretching, and melting including loops and salt

Secondary structure formation of nucleic acids strongly depends on salt concentration and temperature. We develop a theory for RNA folding that correctly accounts for sequence effects, the entropic contributions associated with loop formation, and salt effects. Using an iterative expression for the partition function that neglects pseudoknots, we calculate folding free energies and minimum free energy configurations based on the experimentally derived base pairing free energies. The configurational entropy of loop formation is modeled by the asymptotic expression -c ln m, where m is the length of the loop and c the loop exponent, which is an adjustable constant. Salt effects enter in two ways: first, we derive salt induced modifications of the free energy parameters for describing base pairing and, second, we include the electrostatic free energy for loop formation. Both effects are modeled on the Debye-Hueckel level including counterion condensation. We validate our theory for two different RNA sequences: For tRNA-phe, the resultant heat capacity curves for thermal denaturation at various salt concentrations accurately reproduce experimental results. For the P5ab RNA hairpin, we derive the global phase diagram in the three-dimensional space spanned by temperature, stretching force, and salt concentration and obtain good agreement with the experimentally determined critical unfolding force. We show that for a proper description of RNA melting and stretching, both salt and loop entropy effects are needed.

Community-Engaged Scholarship and the Discourse of Academic Privilege in Canadian Higher Education

This chapter presents selected findings from a qualitative research study on community engagement in Canadian higher education. Focusing on participants' understanding of community engagement as a way to bring meaning to scholarly work and their positioning of community-engaged scholarship as a rejection of academic privilege, the author argues that participants' understanding of engagement is mediated by neoliberalism and the discourse of new public management. The chapter also draws attention to the relationship between surveillance and privilege, questioning the ways in which inclusion of community in scholarly work might disrupt the neoliberalization of higher education.

POPULATION-BASED MEDICAL BIRTH REGISTRIES AS TOOLS FOR BIRTH DEFECTS SURVEILLANCE AND INVESTIGATION OF THEIR RISK FACTORS

It is known that medical birth registries are valuable sources of information on birth defects. They are widely used for their monitoring and control. Currently, the medical birth registries which are established in Murmansk County allow to study the birth prevalence of birth defects and trends in prevalence since 1973, including the period of socio-economic transformations and changes in medical practice caused by introduction of prenatal screening. The aim of this study was to demonstrate the effectiveness of using existing medical birth registries in Murmansk County for the surveillance of birth defects and detecting their risk factors. We found, that medical birth registries in Murmansk County can be successfully used for monitoring and control of the prevalence of birth defects as well as for epidemiological investigations because of full coverage of population and prospective collection of data on both an outcome and a prenatal condition.

Layered double hydroxides for controlled fluoride release

Abstract This study aims to develop a nano-sized fluoridated layered double hydroxide (LDH)-based release system via hydrothermal treatment for the controlled delivery of fluoride (F-) ions in the oral environment. The synthesis of conventional LDH-type (C-LDH) precursor nanomaterials was conducted using a co-precipitation method at constant pH, and the nanoparticulate-LDH (N-LDH) was synthesized by a hydrothermal procedure. Fluoride LDH (F-LDH) products were obtained through indirect synthesis using the precursor ion-exchange technique by varying the agitation time (2 and 24 h) and temperature (25 and 40 °C) to produce 12 material samples. The materials were characterized by energy dispersive x-ray, hexamethyldisilazane, digital radiography x-ray, Fourier-transform infrared, thermogravimetric analysis, and scanning electron microscopy. Additionally, the F-release kinetic profile was evaluated for 21 d in neutral and acid media with mathematical model analysis. Products with varying F-quantities were obtained, revealing specific release profiles. In general, there was a higher F-release in the acid medium, with emphasis on F-LDH-8. Fluoride-LDH and controlled fluoride delivery was successfully obtained, proving the potential of these nanomaterials as alternative anti-caries agents.

Studies on terrestrial herbaceous plants tolerance to excess heavy metals: methodological approach.

Abstract. Plant tolerance to heavy metals is а scientific issue attracting significant attention due to the possible use of tolerant plants for phytoremediation purposes as well as due to the fact that the molecular mechanisms of this phenomenon are not clear enough. Despite of the increasing volume of research on the problem, the available information in many cases is incomplete and/or difficult to compare with other studies because of the significant differences in the experimental designs, range of used metal concentrations, exposure time, etc. In this review-paper both the advantages and limitations of the used experimental designs as well as the methods for evaluation of heavy metal tolerance are briefly discussed. Key words: heavy metals, plant tolerance, experimental design, methods

The effects of organisational silence on work alienation in service enterprises

Human resources are one of the most important resources for organisations in the current competitive work environment. However, this resource may, consciously or not, be treated in a way that may drive it into silence at organisations, and in result, alienation. This quantitative study aimed to determine the relationship between organisational silence and employee alienation at organisations. In this context, human-intensive service sectors, mainly health and tourism and hospitality sectors, were surveyed, and 425 valid responses were obtained from randomly selected employees working at such service providing organisations. The data were analysed by explanatory factor analysis and linear regression modelling. The results revealed that there was a significant relationship between organisational silence and alienation. Organisations get the highest potential of available human resources more when the factors that drive employees into silence are eliminated.

Sequence of cDNA Comprising the Human pur Gene and Sequence-Specific Single-Stranded-DNA-Binding Properties of the Encoded Protein

The human Pur factor binds strongly to a sequence element repeated within zones of initiation of DNA replication in several eukaryotic cells. The protein binds preferentially to the purine-rich single strand of this element, PUR. We report here the cloning and sequencing of a cDNA encoding a protein with strong affinity for the PUR element. Analysis with a series of mutated oligonucleotides defines a minimal single-stranded DNA Pur-binding element. The expressed Pur open reading frame encodes a protein of 322 amino acids. This protein, Pur alpha, contains three repeats of a consensus motif of 23 amino acids and two repeats of a second consensus motif of 26 amino acids. Near its carboxy terminus, the protein possesses an amphipathic alpha-helix and a glutamine-rich domain. The repeat region of Pur cDNA is homologous to multiple mRNA species in each of several human cell lines and tissues. The HeLa cDNA library also includes a clone encoding a related gene, Pur beta, containing a version of the 23-amino-acid consensus motif similar, but not identical, to those in Pur alpha. Results indicate a novel type of modular protein with capacity to bind repeated elements in single-stranded DNA.

Highly Selective Palladium-Catalyzed Heck Reactions of Aryl Bromides with Cycloalkenes

[reaction: see text] The influence of palladium catalysts and reaction conditions on the selectivity of Heck reactions of aryl bromides with cyclohexene and cyclopentene has been investigated. It is shown that the addition of DMSO as a cosolvent leads to improved selectivities of nonconjugated aryl olefins. On the other hand, high selectivities for conjugated arylcyclopentenes have been obtained with the catalytic system DMA/Na2CO3/Pd2(dba)3 x dba/PCy3.

Experimental and computational dynamic structural analysis of free-flight rockets

Abstract Aerospace vehicles’ designers often strive to approach the lightweight structures in order to improve flight performance without compromising vehicles durability. However, this goal may be achieved on the expense of structural rigidity of the vehicle. A missile with high slenderness ratio is a typical vehicle that should be considered as flexible body if precise dynamic behaviour analysis is sought. This analysis is crucial to identify the flight performance of such missile with high accuracy. The present paper discusses the results of a side-by-side experimental and numerical analysis of the vibration characteristics of a full-scale free-flight missile having 70mm caliber. The experimental modal analysis is conducted on the missile with empty motor to represent its unpowered flight regime. Experimental modal analysis setup involved accelerometer sensors while vibration excitation is achieved using an impact hammer. Modal analysis is also conducted numerically using a well-used high-fidelity commercial tool. Results of experimental modal analysis have shown that the first four modes as bending modes with frequencies of 134.4, 400.6, 819.4 and 1173.6 Hz, respectively. The results also demonstrate the close agreement between numerical and experimental approaches.

INNOVATION AND NATIONAL ECONOMIC STRATEGY

In the formulation of a national economic policy today the need to compete in a global knowledge economy has been recognized. The importance of the knowledge services sector now rivals that of materials and products and their associated processing, manufacturing and distribution sub-sectors. A policy component common to both knowledge services and businesses handling tangible assets is a country’s investment and support for innovation as part of a national science and technology (S &amp;amp;T) strategy. Innovation can play a major role in creating new business opportunities, in retaining and perhaps expanding current business dominance, and in transitioning a country’s assets to address changing global market needs. Policy components that can be included in an investment model of innovation include direct funding, tax incentives, purchasing, infrastructure investment and trade restrictions. The process flow of innovation consists of steps which research and development efforts take in yielding results such as inventions and discoveries that eventually lead to national competitiveness. A sound investment model will also have feedback loops which contain proposed metrics by which the policy components can be measured in terms of their effectiveness. The metrics include per capita

Association of Systemic inflammatory response index with intracranial plaque vulnerability and the severity of ischemic events

Motivation: The activation of inflammation can aggravate plaque rupture, thrombosis and cause brain tissue ischemia and infarction. Looking for reliable inflammatory markers might provide potential targets for the treatment of atherosclerosis patients. Goal(s): We investigated the relationship between systemic inflammatory response index (SIRI)and intracranial plaque features, as well as the risk factors related to the severity of cerebral ischemic events. Approach: Compare the differences in imaging features and SIRI among patients with transient ischemic attack, mild stroke, and moderate-severe stroke. Results: SIRI levels were significantly associated with plaque vulnerable characteristics and burden. Higher SIRIlevels and plaque featureswere independently related to moderate-severe stroke. Impact: Our study suggested that immune inflammation may have adverse effects on intracranial atherosclerosis, and link to the severity of cerebral ischemic events. Therefore, the regulation of immune inflammation may be a potential therapeutic target for sICAD.
