“Reformed <i>Theosis?”</i>: A Response to Gannon Murphy

Any attempt to reclaim Orthodox aspects of the “great tradition” for contemporary theology is to be applauded. In this light, Gannon Murphy has done the church a real service in stimulating discussion surrounding the compatibility of an Orthodox notion of theosis with contemporary Reformed theology. 1 Having argued the same thing previously, I stand beside Murphy as a brother in arms. 2 There are, however, differing views on how best to incorporate theosis and Reformed thought. In this essay, I point out areas of agreement between Murphy and myself, discuss a number of areas in which I disagree with Murphy's proposal, and finally offer a brief reflection on how I think Reformed theology and a doctrine of theosis are compatible. At the outset I wish to affirm my agreement with Murphy and make it clear that we share much in common despite our disagreements. 3

Factors Affecting Mammary Gland Cell Numbers

The number of milk-synthesizing cells is one of the basic elements that limit milk production.For example, estimates of the correlation coefficient between total mammary cell numbers and milk production range between 0.50 and 0.85 (13, 50).In addition to the milk-producing epithelial cells other cells present in the mammary gland, i.e., leukocytes, fibroblasts, and lipid connective tissue cells, complicate our estimates of mammary cell numbers.Nonetheless,

Transformations of Cardio-active Steroids by Microorganisms

Microbial dehydrogenations of 3β-hydroxyl groups of Digitalis cardiac agiycones by Calonectria decora and Nigrospora sphaerica were studied, both of which exhibited simiiar transformation pattern. Digitoxigenin was transformed exclusively into 3-dehydrodigoxigenin by C. decora and into digoxigenin and 3-dehydro-digoxigenin by N. sphaerica. Both gitoxigenin and 3-acetyl-gitoxigenin were dehydrogenated to 3-dehydrogitoxigenin. 3-Dehydro-16-acetylgitoxigenin was also detected among the bioconversion products of 16-acetylgitoxigenin and 3, 16-diacetylgitoxigenin by these two species.

[Spinal anesthesia in ambulatory surgery. Extent, routines and patient satisfaction].

Spinal anaesthesia has been used in day-care surgery for a long time, but the fear of past dural puncture headache has limited its use in younger patients. A survey was conducted in order to assess the extent to which spinal anaesthesia is used for day-care surgery, and the routines governing the present practice in Norwegian anaesthetic departments. Information was obtained on the use of spinal anaesthesia for day-care surgery. In half of the anaesthetic departments spinal anaesthesia was used regularly. A large proportion of the departments worked with a lower age limit over 30 years of age for use of spinal anaesthesia. This does not seem to be justified on the basis of the scientific evidence. A prospective patient study revealed that out of 120 day-care patients aged 15 to 45 years who were given spinal anaesthesia, 93% would accept the same kind of anaesthetic again. Based on recent studies, the fear of post dural puncture headache should not preclude the use of spinal anaesthesia as a good alternative to general anaesthesia in day-care surgery.

An Analytical Method for Tensile-Test Curves of Slacked Multifilament Yarn

In conventional tensile tests for textile materials, a pretension is applied to the specimens to obtain a credible sample length. However, when we wear a comfortable garment, many yarns in it are not stretched. So, we consider that the transition behavior of textile materials from relaxed to low-stress conditions is important in evaluating the comfort of a garment. As a preliminary study, we developed an analytical method for tensile-test results of slacked yarn, where we applied the Savitzky-Golay approach to compute the second derivative-graphs of the original curves and fitted them with two beta distribution probability density functions using the least-squares method. In the experiment, we measured the tensile-test curves of an untwisted polyester multifilament yarn with intentional slack. Our results show that the second-derivative graph is well summarized by our model using the least-squares method. As well, the overall load-extension properties, including slack length of each specimen, also can be analyzed objectively in our method.

[Primary Pulmonary Vein Stenosis Developed after Bidirectional Glenn Procedure;Report of Two Cases].

We experienced 2 cases of primary pulmonary vein stenosis(PVS),which developed after a bidirectional Glenn procedure was performed for complex heart defects with normal pulmonary venous return. Although the patients successfully underwent primary sutureless repair for left PVS, restenosis of the affected pulmonary veins occurred several months after surgery in both patients. Stent implantation followed by balloon angioplasty was performed for stent stenosis in 1 patient without effect. However, the patient later underwent a successful fenestrated Fontan procedure. Catheter intervention was contraindicated in the 2nd patient due to almost complete obstruction of the left pulmonary veins with upstream hypoplasia. To improve the results of PVS treatment, earlier diagnosis by quantitative lung perfusion scintigraphy, magnetic resonance imaging, and close echocardiographic observation together with earlier, aggressive treatment combining surgery and catheter interventions are recommended.

Characterization of the locomotor stimulant action of nicotine in tolerant rats

Tests of locomotor activity (photocell cages) were used to investigate the development of tolerance to nicotine in rats. Repeated exposure to the apparatus did not influence the rate at which tolerance was acquired. Comparisons of (+)‐nicotine (0.4–1.6 mg kg −1 , s.c.) and (‐)‐nicotine (0.1–0.4 mg kg −1 , s.c.) in tolerant rats showed that the (‐)‐isomer Was at least ten times more potent in stimulating motor activity. Subcutaneous pretreatment with mecamylamine (1.0 mg kg −1 ) completely prevented the locomotor stimulant action of nicotine in tolerant rats, whereas chlorisondamine (0.01 or 0.1 mg kg −1 s.c.) only partially reduced it. When mecamylamine was given after an injection of nicotine, the locomotor stimulant action of nicotine was blocked, and nicotine actually reduced activity. A single intraventricular dose of chlorisondamine (2 μg) blocked the stimulant actions of nicotine for the duration of the experiment (23–24 days).

emPDBA: protein-DNA binding affinity prediction by combining features from binding partners and interface learned with ensemble regression model

Abstract Protein–deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) interactions are important in a variety of biological processes. Accurately predicting protein-DNA binding affinity has been one of the most attractive and challenging issues in computational biology. However, the existing approaches still have much room for improvement. In this work, we propose an ensemble model for Protein-DNA Binding Affinity prediction (emPDBA), which combines six base models with one meta-model. The complexes are classified into four types based on the DNA structure (double-stranded or other forms) and the percentage of interface residues. For each type, emPDBA is trained with the sequence-based, structure-based and energy features from binding partners and complex structures. Through feature selection by the sequential forward selection method, it is found that there do exist considerable differences in the key factors contributing to intermolecular binding affinity. The complex classification is beneficial for the important feature extraction for binding affinity prediction. The performance comparison of our method with other peer ones on the independent testing dataset shows that emPDBA outperforms the state-of-the-art methods with the Pearson correlation coefficient of 0.53 and the mean absolute error of 1.11 kcal/mol. The comprehensive results demonstrate that our method has a good performance for protein-DNA binding affinity prediction.

Improved Simulated Annealing Algorithm Solving for 0/1 Knapsack Problem

0/1 knapsack problem belongs to combination optimization problem. Its optimal solution exists in the problem space including substantially large useless solutions besides optimal solutions. Differing with other SA (simulated annealing) algorithms that getting the approximate optimization solution from the whole problem space often need much computation time, this improved SA algorithm proposed in this paper avoided this disadvantage by extracting two kinds of solution spaces, i.e. all optimal solutions space and the most possible part optimal solutions space, from the whole space. Then to improve approximate solution quality some variables were introduced to record the maximum solution, which produced during annealing process but was possibly deserted because of Metropolis rule in SA. We applied this SA algorithm, general SA and greedy-based SA algorithm to knapsack problem. And experimental results showed that this algorithm only searching the two optimal spaces obtained better approximate results and largely decreased the time overhead compared with the other two algorithms searching whole space

Comparison of Induction and Maintenance Immunosuppression Regimens in Intestinal and Multivisceral Transplant

Aim Induction and maintenance immunosuppression regimens in intestinal transplant widely vary among centers. The aim of this study was to investigate an association between immunosuppression regimens and transplant outcomes. Methods We examined the patients who underwent primary intestinal/multivisceral transplant between January 1, 2001 and March 31, 2017 by using the United Network Organ Sharing registry. Intestine transplant without liver graft group and intestine and liver transplant group were separately analyzed. Patients were categorized based on immunosuppression regimens. Induction regimen groups included none, anti-thymocyte globulin (ATG) with or without rituximab, basiliximab, and alemtuzumab. Additional maintenance agent groups included none, mycophenolic acid, and sirolimus/everlolimus (mTOR-i). Graft and patient survival, death associated with infection, and incidence of acute rejection were evaluated using Cox and logistic multivariable analyses. Risks were adjusted for recipient age/ethnicity/functional status, donor age, and ischemia time. Results A total of 1676 patients were eligible for this study (intestine without liver [n=780], intestine with liver [n=896]). In the intestine without liver group, alemtuzumab (hazard ratio [HR]=0.56, P=0.012) and mTOR-i (HR=0.62, P=0.026) showed significantly better graft survival, compared with ATG+rituximab and no additional maintenance agent, respectively. In the intestine with liver group, there was no induction regimen superior to others regarding graft/patient survival, whereas a risk of death associated with infection was lowest in the ATG+rituximab group and highest in the alemtuzumab group (HR=3.324, P=0.034). The mTOR-i group showed significantly better graft outcome in intestine and liver transplant (HR=0.476, P=0.003 [Ref. no additional maintenance agent]).A risk of acute rejection was significantly higher in the groups of ATG alone or almtuzumab, compared with the ATG+rituximab group, regardless of a graft type.Conclusion Our results suggested that alemtuzumab induction with mTOR-i as an additional maintenance agent seemed appropriate in intestinal transplant without liver graft, and that ATG+rituximab induction with mTOR-i may be better option in intestinal transplant with liver graft.

Ratings of New Films for the High-Voltage Electron Microscope and the Radiation Damage Incurred in Taking Typical Biological Electron Micrographs

Radiation damage to biological specimens being examined in the electron microscope inevitably restricts the amount of information that can be gathered. This problem is especially severe in the high-voltage electron microscope (HVEM), where the relatively low sensitivities of existing photographic materials entail inordinately long exposures to specimens to the beam that cause enhanced radiation damage, in spite of early hopes that this instrument would alleviate the radiation-damage problem. We have reported studies of the sensitivities and resolutions of commercial and experimental photographic materials for use with 1-MeV electrons. In the present study, we have chosen certain photographic materials as representing typical films used for electron microscopy or as possessing a favorable combination of sensitivity and resolution for biological electron microscopy, and we have followed the course of impairment of image quality as a selected area of a typical specimen is subjected to ever larger radiation doses.

From Consoles to Classrooms: Preliminary Insights About Pre-Service Teachers and Video Games

Integrating video games into the classroom is a promising way to enhance learning experiences, as the market of serious games is expanding. European schools are investing in digital equipment, and the use of educational video games is technologically viable. Nonetheless, actual experiences of video games in class are still rare. A key gap to be explored is understanding how pre-service secondary teachers perceive and are prepared to use digital games in their future classrooms. Do they think it would enhance their teaching and their students’ learning? Do they feel prepared for it? To answer these questions, and possibly address future challenges, we conducted a comprehensive study with students at Zurich University of Teacher Education (PHZH). The research process began with the development and testing of a detailed questionnaire that focused on participants' personal gaming behaviour, preferences, and perceptions of the educational potential of video games. Key areas such as serious games, game design, gamification, game-based learning, and game culture were explored to assess the relevance and understanding of these concepts in an educational context. This paper explains the development and structure of the questionnaire as a measurement instrument as well as the underlying literature and methodological considerations. The first implementation and the preliminary survey with 48 PHZH students are presented, and the practicability and reliability of the questionnaire are evaluated. The result of the survey suggests pre-service teachers are generally positive about integrating video games and game design into the classroom, yet enthusiasm is not enough without additional support.

The effect of herbs added to the summer diet sheep on the lipid fraction profile of raw milk for cheese making and rennet cheese produced from it

A study was conducted on samples of raw sheep milk and bundz rennet cheese produced from it. The milk was obtained from ewes of the Koluda prolific dairy breed, from June to August. The sheep were housed indoors and fed alfalfa green forage, hay, and a mixture of concentrate feeds. Three feeding groups were established: group I ‒ control, fed without the addition of herbs to the concentrate feed, and groups II and III, in which a herb mixture was added to the concentrate feed in the amount of 10 and 20 g/sheep/day, respectively. Six experimental batches of bundz rennet cheese were made from the milk, and the effect of the addition of herbs to the diet on the lipid profile of the milk and cheese was analysed. The results indicate that the experimental factor had no statistically confirmed effect on the lipid profile of the raw milk used to make cheese. However, the milk fat from sheep fed a diet with herbs at 20 g/sheep/day showed a tendency towards reduced content of SFA (by 3.6%) and increased content of UFA (by 6.8%) and DFA (by 7.2%) relative to the control group. The experimental factor had essentially no statistically confirmed effect on the fatty acid profile of the cheese, apart from an 11.3% increase in the content of n-6 PUFA (P≤0.05) in the fat of bundz produced from the milk of sheep fed a diet with herbs at 20 g/sheep/day with respect to the control group. The cheese fat also showed a tendency towards lower content of SFA (by 3.4%) and OFA (by 4.8%) and higher content of UFA (by 7.4%), MUFA (by 7.1%), PUFA (by 9.4%), n-3 PUFA (by 11.5%) and DFA (by 7.6%) compared to the control group. The experimental factor had no statistically confirmed effect on cholesterol content in the raw milk or the bundz cheese produced from it.

Sex, condoms, gender roles, and HIV transmission knowledge among adolescents in León, Nicaragua: Implications for HIV prevention

There are few peer-reviewed studies of HIV/AIDS-related knowledge, attitudes, beliefs and practices among adolescents in Central America. A population-based cross-sectional survey was conducted among 246 adolescents in León, Nicaragua, where there is reason for concern about a rise in HIV infections. In many respects, León adolescents were typical of those in other Latin American countries, with a mixture of correct and incorrect knowledge about transmission of HIV and sexually transmitted infections, a higher proportion of males than females reporting having had sex or using condoms, and inconsistent condom use. While some sexual attitudes conformed to the ideology of machismo, others did not, providing an opening for prevention interventions. Some dimensions of HIV/AIDS stigma were high, and most adolescents disapproved of same-sex sexual behaviour. Intervention against homosexuality-related stigma is particularly urgent because a concentrated HIV epidemic may be emerging in Nicaragua among men who have sex with men. Personal religious beliefs did not appear to pose a barrier to condom use. In a multivariate model, being out of school was a significant correlate of having had sex and of insufficient HIV/AIDS-related knowledge. Accordingly, HIV prevention interventions must reach adolescents both in and out of school. A multi-component approach to prevention is needed, including programmes based in schools, communities, the mass media and health facilities.
