This study deals with Ivan Lucic-Lucius (Giovanni Lucio, Iohannes Lucius) (1604–1679), the father of the Croatian historiography and his manuscript heritage which contains more than 2000 mostly medieval documents. In 2015, a research group came into existence at Eötvös Loránd University, Budapest led by Tamás Körmendi to research the manuscripts, particularly the unpublished documents of the Árpádian and Angevin era and the author of this study is a member of the group. In this paper, I present Ivan Lucic-Lucius’s life, scholarship, research methodology and analyze his place in the Croatian historiography. The main subject of the paper is the manuscript heritage which is a collection of sources gathered together by Ivan Lucic-Lucius and his colleagues, friends, and family members from all around Dalmatia from the 1630s. Ivan Lucic-Lucius and his helpers researched in many secular, ecclesiastical and family archives, copied documents, and after a critical analysis, Lucic-Lucius arranged them by regions and put them in writing in chronological order. Many of the collected sources were published in his works, but hundreds of them are still kept in Ivan Lucic-Lucius’s heritage while the original documents, from which they were copied, are lost by now. The manuscripts are kept in the Archbishopric Archive of Split and a twentieth-century handwritten copy also exists in the Archive of the Croatian Academy of Sciences and Arts in Zagreb. The heritage of twelve books contains hundreds of unpublished medieval documents for example Hungarian royal and ducal privileges, documents of the urban administration and the burghers of many Dalmatian towns, charters that can be connected to the Hungarian administration in Dalmatia, and ecclesiastical documents.

Abstract Background: Neoadjuvant dual targeting of HER2 with trastuzumab (H) and pertuzumab (P) plus chemotherapy is the standard of care for high-risk HER2-positive (HER2+) breast cancer (BC). Compelling data show the contribution of the immune system in prognosis and response/resistance to HER2 directed therapies, supporting combination of immune checkpoint inhibitors with anti HER2 antibodies. We designed APTneo to test the role of adding atezolizumab to neoadjuvant dual targeting of HER2 with chemotherapy, and the value of also using anthracyclines in this setting. Methods: In this multicenter open label phase III trial (NCT03595592), 661 patients (pts) with high-risk early and locally advanced (LA) centrally confirmed HER2+ BC were randomized to neoadjuvant HPCT (H and P d1, carboplatin and paclitaxel iv d1 and 8) given q3 wks for 6 cycles w/o (n=223, ARM A) or with atezolizumab 1200 mg iv d1 (n=438, ARM B). In Arm B pts were randomized to Arm B1 (n=218) to receive anthracycline and cyclophosphamide (AC) + atezolizumab iv d1 q3 wks for 3 cycles followed by HPCT + atezolizumab for 3 cycles, or to arm B2 (n=220) to receive HPCT + atezolizumab for 6 cycles. After surgery pts continued adjuvant HER2 directed therapies w/wo atezolizumab until completion of 1 year. Among intent-to-treat (ITT) pts, 44.8% were LABC, 35% hormonal receptor (HR) negative and 30.4% PD-L1 positive. Primary endpoint is event-free survival (EFS) of Arm B vs A. A key secondary endpoint is the rate of pCR (ypT0/Tis, ypN0) w/wo atezolizumab. Primary population for all efficacy endpoints is ITT. We also assessed baseline PD-L1 status (Ventana SP142) and stromal Tumor Infiltrating Lymphocytes (sTILs). Results: pCR rate in Arm B (57.8%) vs Arm A (52.0%) was not significantly increased (adjHR 1.33, 95% CI 0.95-1.86; p=0.091). Also, the difference in pCR rate in Arm B1 (61.9%) vs Arm B2 (53.6%) was not significant (adjHR 1.402, 95% CI 0.95-2.07; p=0.089). Compared to Arm A, Arm B1 had a 9.9% significantly higher pCR rate (multivariate analysis in Table). The different pCR rate in arms B1 and A was similar regardless of HR and PD-L1 status. High sTILs (≥30%) and PD-L1positive tumors had a higher likelihood of pCR in all arms. Serious adverse events (SAE) after start of therapy occurred in 6.8% pts in Arm A and 14.1% in Arm B (p=0.0064). SAE were numerically more frequent in Arm B1 than Arm B2 (16.7% and 11.6%, respectively), due to hematological toxicity with AC. Immune-related SAE were quite infrequent and similar in B1 (4.7%) and B2 (7.8%), respectively. No grade 5 AE did occur. Conclusions: Addition of atezolizumab to chemotherapy and HP did not significantly increase the rate of pCR in women with HER2+ BC. An exploratory analysis showed that adding atezolizumab to neoadjuvant AC followed by HPCT led to higher pCR rate compared to HPCT and atezolizumab. This could be because of anthracyclines themselves or to drug-drug enhancement of anthracyclines and immune modulation. Atezolizumab did not cause major tolerability issues. Molecular studies of collected biospecimens are ongoing. Patients will continue to be followed up for EFS and overall survival analyses. Table.

En este trabajo proponemos mostrar que las múltiples experiencias de opresión –como efecto de las imbricaciones simultáneas entre instancias de diferenciación social y relaciones de poder- tienen como reverso experiencias de lucha, organización y resistencia colectiva como formas de participación política. Para el abordaje de las desigualdades entrecruzadas y diversas formas de violencia proponemos un enfoque interseccional por su carácter multidimensional y complejo, así como por sus raíces de lucha. Para ello, en primera instancia, trazaremos genealogías políticas que permitan historizar la interseccionalidad y anudarla a sus luchas y demandas fundacionales. Analizaremos en esta dirección, las experiencias de la Combahee River Collective y de laThird World Women's Alliance , organizaciones feministas negras de la década del setenta en los Estados Unidos que buscaban enfrentar las desigualdades estructurales producidas por las articulaciones entre distintos sistemas de dominación y que direccionaron su participación política antiimperialista, anticapitalista, anticolonialista y antisexista. En un segundo momento, proponemos recuperar las genealogías críticas de la interseccionalidad para repolitizar y recomplejizar la perspectiva crítica. Finalmente, proponemos subvertir los binarismos dicotómicos y excluyentes bajo los cuales se han estructurado espacios de jerarquías y privilegios; que reproducen violencias y desigualdades.

SummaryThe study looks into the perception of Lucian Blaga’s philosophical theories, in particular those conferred in the volume titled „Spațiul mioritic”. This volume brought about a series of controversial discussions around philosophy, literature and religion that subsequently led to the formation of divergent views around Blaga’s theories.Furthermore, the correlation between his theories and the ballad “Miorița” stands as proof for the national identity together with the literary function of the narrative work. In other words, the study emphasizes the problem of interference within the whole philosophical system, through references to the narrative work “Miorița” together with Blaga’s ethical system.

Full textAbstract:
En el contexto político global contemporáneo, las diversas luchas sociales se están alienando entre sí hasta elpunto de que la ilusión del capitalismo como único sistema socioeconómico posible está difuminando todos los horizontesdel cambio social. En este artículo, trataremos de redefinir las causas comunes de las luchas sociales, demostrando su interseccionalidad e interdependencia. Para ello, nos ocuparemos de una serie de conceptos de la filosofía de Marx. En la introducción, examinaremos la noción de valor, afirmando que la teoría del valor de Marx no es simplemente una teoría laboral del valor, sino que más bien refleja la estructura paralela de la producción y la circulación, cristalizada en la forma de valor última del dinero. Una vez obtenidas estas ideas preliminares, volveremos al fenómeno del trabajo en el capitalismo, para reinterpretar, en la primera sección del artículo, la distinción marxiana entre trabajo productivo e improductivo. A partir de ahí, se darán los primeros ejemplos concretos de la interseccionalidad de las luchas sociales contra la abstracción del capital: a saber, mostrar que las luchas de género y las raciales tienen ciertas causas comunes, enraizadas en la hegemonía gramsciana. En la segunda sección, examinaremos la distinción que Marx establece entre la subsunción formal y la real. Esta última, afirmaremos, es decisiva para entender cómo el capital estructura la cuasi-totalidad de nuestras relaciones sociales. Tras una interpretación de la película Toni Erdmann de Maren Ade, propondremos algunos medios posibles de lucha interseccional contra la subsunción real, que encontrarán su respaldo teórico en el concepto de universales subversivos. Las observaciones finales abordarán la lógica nuclear de la distribución y la acumulación del capital, un síntoma que pervive a lo largo de la historia preservado e impulsado por la omnipresencia de la ideología, y subrayarán de nuevo implícitamente la importancia de la lucha común en el descongelamiento de la emergencia de un nuevo sujeto revolucionario.

Full textAbstract:
Metacognitive reflections on one's current state of mind are largely absent during dreaming. Lucid dreaming as the exception to this rule is a rare phenomenon; however, its occurrence can be facilitated through cognitive training. A central idea of respective training strategies is to regularly question one's phenomenal experience: is the currently experienced world real , or just a dream? Here, we tested if such lucid dreaming training can be enhanced with dream-like virtual reality (VR): over the course of four weeks, volunteers underwent lucid dreaming training in VR scenarios comprising dream-like elements, classical lucid dreaming training or no training. We found that VR-assisted training led to significantly stronger increases in lucid dreaming compared to the no-training condition. Eye signal-verified lucid dreams during polysomnography supported behavioural results. We discuss the potential mechanisms underlying these findings, in particular the role of synthetic dream-like experiences, incorporation of VR content in dream imagery serving as memory cues, and extended dissociative effects of VR session on subsequent experiences that might amplify lucid dreaming training during wakefulness. This article is part of the theme issue ‘Offline perception: voluntary and spontaneous perceptual experiences without matching external stimulation'.

Nos complace presentar este número especial de la Revista Las Torres de Lucca, dedicado íntegramente a la investigación sobre injusticia epistémica.
El proyecto de esta publicación se gestó entre 2017 y 2018, en conversaciones entre Cristina Bernabéu e Isabel Gamero; a las que luego se sumaron Alba Moreno y Llanos Navarro. Los directores de Las Torres de Lucca, Diego Fernández Peychaux y Juan Antonio Fernández Manzano, aceptaron la propuesta con interés. Estamos muy agradecidas a ambos por ello, así como por el acompañamiento que nos han hecho durante todo el proceso, desde la publicación de la convocatoria hasta la conclusión del número que ahora presentamos.
La motivación que subyace a este trabajo es el interés en la noción de injusticia epistémica, en la que encontramos una poderosa herramienta para visibilizar qué voces tienen más (o menos) presencia en los distintos contextos sociales situados en los que participamos y qué prácticas habría que aplicar para lograr una distribución más justa de capacidades, tan básicas y cruciales, como las de dar testimonio y comunicar las propias experiencias. El debate sobre injusticia epistémica ha crecido significativamente a raíz de la publicación del libro de Miranda Fricker Epistemic Injustice (2007). Desde entonces, la discusión se ha desarrollado sobre todo en el contexto de la epistemología social feminista y antirracista, aunque ha tenido otras ramificaciones. Este número en particular reúne una serie de trabajos que aplican la noción de injusticia epistémica, tal y como fue propuesta por Fricker, a ámbitos diversos de discusión, que incluyen el análisis jurídico, el análisis del discurso y la estrategia políticos o el desarrollo de formas de resistencia epistémica, y que abordan problemas como la atribución errónea de género ─conocida como misgendering por su voz inglesa─ y el fenómeno del silenciamiento. Nos satisface comprobar que el debate es tan rico en sus ramificaciones y aplicaciones, así como haber podido reunir una muestra de esta riqueza.

El presente artículo recoge la crítica de Adorno y Pasolini a la era abierta por Mayo del 68 y trata de trasladarla a nuestros días. El objetivo es trazar líneas de continuidad entre lo que los dos autores atisbaron en aquel movimiento y la actualidad. Con base en ello, se partirá de la denuncia de la “intolerancia” y el “dogmatismo” que tanto Adorno como Pasolini achacaron al movimiento; seguidamente, se recogerá la descripción de los dos autores de la época de banalidad que, en su opinión, se abría ante el menosprecio del pensamiento reflexivo, la teoría y la cultura. Presentaremos la “lucha desde la teoría” de ambos autores y su posicionamiento como filósofos inorgánicos ante una época de activismo irreflexivo. Por último, esbozaremos el estado de la cuestión en la actualidad en el apartado Conclusiones

Full textAbstract:
Frente al avance de los derechos sexuales y reproductivos, se ha producido una reacción moral conservadora que, trascendiendo las fronteras entre lo religioso y lo secular, instaura nuevas formas políticas en América Latina. Uno de los principales emergentes de esta reacción es la consolidación del giro ideología de género como diagnóstico y amenaza para movilizar las creencias e instituciones religiosas en defensa de la vida y la familia. Precisamente, el propósito de este artículo es considerar las instrumentalizaciones de la ideología de género como una ventana analítica para identificar las principales dimensiones públicas del neoconservadurismo en los países de la región. La lucha contra la ideología de género se consolidó como una de las facetas más visibles de la politización moral conservadora y a través de su observación pueden comprenderse distintos tramos de la articulación entre el conservadurismo religioso y la política contemporánea.

Full textAbstract:
Although the language Lucid was not originally intended to support computing with infinite data structures, the notion of (infinite) sequence quickly came to the fore, together with a demand-driven computation model in which demands are propagated for the values of particular values at particular index points. This naturally generalized to sequences of multiple dimensions so that a programmer could, for example, write a program that could be understood as a (nonterminating) loop in which one of the loop variables is an infinite vector.Programmers inevitably found use for more and more dimensions, which led to a problem which is fully solved for the first time in this paper. The problem is that the implementation's cache requires some estimate of the dimensions actually used to compute a value being fetched. This estimate can be difficult or (if dimensions are passed as parameters) impossible to obtain, and the demand-driven evaluation model for Lucid breaks down.We outline the evolution of Lucid which gave rise to this problem, and outline the solution, as used for the implementation of TransLucid, the latest descendant of Lucid.

Full textAbstract:
Dream lucidity, or being aware that one is dreaming while dreaming, is not an all-or-none phenomenon. Often, subjects report being some variant of “a little lucid” as opposed to completely or not at all. As recent neuroimaging work begins to elucidate the neural underpinnings of lucid experience, understanding subtle phenomenological variation within lucid dreams is essential. Here, we focus on the variability of lucid experience by asking participants to report their awareness of the dream on a 5-point Likert scale (from not at all to very much). Participants implemented a combination of mnemonic training lucid dream induction methods at home for one week and provided detailed reports about their dream experiences each morning. Consistent with previous research, cognitive induction methods led to about half of participants reporting at least one lucid dream and about half of all dreams including some level of lucidity. However, we also show that induction success rate varies significantly depending on the minimum criteria for lucidity. Participants also reported how much they adhered to specific components of each induction method, and the amount of mnemonic rehearsal during a brief early awake period was predictive of lucidity level. Furthermore, lucidity levels were positively correlated with dream control, dream bizarreness, and next-morning positive affect. Lastly, we asked participants open-ended questions about why they chose particular levels of lucidity. We focus a qualitative discussion on responses to those “semi-lucid” dreams (rated just a little, moderately, or pretty much lucid) to explore why participants rate their dreams as having intermediate levels of awareness. Together, the present study explores the frequency of semi-lucid dreams, what they are, why they might arise, their correlates, and how they impact methodological concerns in lucid dreaming research.

Considers family land as part of the small holder sector, reflecting problems such as small size and debt. The author argues that because family land is an intrinsic component of the small holding sector, the distinction between legal and non-legal tenure needs to be revised. She concludes that economic pressures have led to the sale of family land, causing a decline in agricultural production.

El presente artículo plantea un análisis del sujeto revolucionario en Los condenados de la tierra de Frantz Fanon bajo la lente de las posteriores contribuciones teóricas de Antonio Negri y Ernesto Laclau a los modos y determinaciones de construcción de los sujetos políticos en general y a través de sus valoraciones de las tesis fanonianas en particular. En concreto, se argumentará que en Fanon se encuentran matizada y entrecruzadamente algunas de las consideraciones que permiten interpretar el sujeto político que se alza en la lucha de liberación nacional, primero como un sujeto múltiple y espontáneo de características tangentes a la multitud negriana, y segundo como un sujeto articulado unificadamente en relación con el pueblo laclausiano que, eventualmente, acabará recalando en nuevas correspondencias exegéticas con Negri. Este cuerpo analítico será complementado con referencias a la postura divergente de Vladímir Lenin y de Rosa Luxemburgo en torno a la cuestión del espontaneísmo y la organización del sujeto revolucionario.

Full textAbstract:
In the interwar Romanian culture, the Sociological School of Bucharest led by D. Gusti had a unique approach of the folk culture which was seen as a living organism in constant movement and evolution. Folk creations - musical and literary, peasant costume and artefacts etc. are no longer treated as "museum or archive objects ", but as living and interdependent parts composing a giant gear – the social corpus. Therefore, not only songs, but also singing, not only stories, but the storytelling etc. will be studied, precisely – and especially – the "social functions" of those creations. For the peasant costume, not the pieces themselves will be studied, as before, but their "making" and "wearing". From this perspective which considerably broadens the research horizon, the work of Lucia Apolzan is not just an exemplary thematic monograph on folk costume and domestic industry in Țara Moților, but also a fundamental book, unique in Romanian ethnography and culture. The secret of this success lies in the "monographic approach" of the topic and in the author's attachment to the investigated area, meaning that thorough ethnographic research greatly benefits from contribution of other disciplines, such as history, geography, political economy, oral tradition etc., and from the constant observation of the "social relations" involved in making and using of the peasant costume. Capturing, for the first time, the specific, intimate dialectical relations that underlie the existence and the "evolution" of the folk costume, and "encoding" them in "basic rules", general and always valid for the investigated field require, as the author believes, a "reconsideration" and "upgrading" of this work, victim itself of times of sad memory for the Romanian culture; this is particularly so since, after "the moment Lucia Apolzan", the descriptivism and aestheticism, back in force, as working methods and means of expression in the scientific discourse, have continuously dominated most works about the folk costume in our country.

Abstract Introduction: Neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NACT) represents an essential tool for the treatment of selected breast cancer patients aimed to reduce the tumor size for a more conservative resection and to gain early information about the sensitivity to applied treatment. An effective early response assessment helps both to change the therapeutic strategy for patients nonresponding to the treatment used and to avoid the toxicity related to ineffective treatment. We assumed that changing the chemotherapy regimen might avoid the residual cancer burden (RCB) III outcome and lead to the highest possible rate of pathological complete response (pCR) achieved. We examined the benefit of MRI as a preferred method for interim response assessment to NACT with a primary focus on the relation between the pattern of responses to NACT within the MRI- monitored and non-monitored patients and the pattern of final outcomes on the RCB scale. Methods We present a real-life data-based retrospective analysis of 124 female patients with locally advanced breast carcinoma. All patients received NACT (anthracycline-based regimen followed by taxane-based regimen/early switch to taxanes after the 2nd cycle in nonresponders, and antiHER2 therapy if indicated) prior to surgery (mastectomy/breast-conserving surgery, sentinel lymph node biopsy/axillary dissection). Postoperative histopathological analysis of tumor specimens categorised 120 patients according to the RCB scale 0 – III. Four patients had surgery ex muros and were lost to follow-up. Patients were divided into two cohorts. Group A covered monitored patients with pre-treatment MRI and follow-up MRI after the 2nd cycle of NACT. If no response was detected, another follow-up MRI was indicated after the 2nd cycle of a new treatment. Group B comprised patients with no/incomplete MRI monitoring and patients without the change of therapy even though no response was detected by MRI after the 2nd cycle of NACT. Association between categorical variables was tested using chi-square tests. Statistical analysis was performed using StatsDirect® 3.3.5 (StatsDirect Ltd., Cheshire, UK). The data analysis was supported by a grant from the Cultural and Educational Grant Agency of the Ministry of Education, Science, Research, and Sport of the Slovak Republic (KEGA 041UK-4/2020). Results MRI-monitored patients had two times the odds of being RBC 0 (OR = 2.02, P = 0.122) and almost three times the odds of being RCB 0 or RCB I (OR = 2.83, P = 0.0206) than patients with no monitoring. Changing the NACT after the 2nd cycle in the cohort of monitored patients with no response to initial therapy was significantly associated with better outcomes on the RCB scale (P = 0.0042). This result was confirmed by comparing the pattern of results in patients with no response within the group of incompletely monitored patients with known MRI results after the 2nd cycle (P = 0.0257). Changing the ineffective NACT after the 2nd cycle significantly increased the proportion of RCB 0-I by 23.4%, confirming the benefit of response monitoring by MRI. Conclusion Breast cancer constitutes a heterogeneity of tumor subtypes and it is acknowledged that their behaviour during NACT is highly variable and often unpredictable. MRI represents an effective tool for the assessment of tumor response to applied NACT. To achieve the most clinically meaningful impact of the selected treatment it is critical to monitor the tumor response within the first 3 cycles. Our data clearly confirmed that clinical decisions related to the detection of early response or no response (resulting in the change of NACT) lead to better treatment outcomes and less toxicity. The rate of pCR defines the applied treatment efficacy. Every single patient with results different from RCB III has a better prognosis, reduced need for further expensive treatment and also a more favourable quality of life. These key facts need to be carefully considered when discussing the cost and benefits of MRI monitoring. Citation Format: Lucia Vanovcanova, Iveta Waszulikova, Bibiana Vertakova Krakovska.

Abstract Objective When metacognition arises during rapid eye movement (REM) sleep, people experience lucid dreaming (LD). Studies on this phenomenon face different obstacles. For example, its standard verification protocol requires at least three types of sensors. We hypothesized that preagreed frontalis movements (PAFMs), as a sign of lucidity, could be seen on electroencephalography (EEG) during REM sleep. In this case, only one EEG sensor would be needed to verify LD. Method Under laboratory observation, five volunteers were instructed to induce LD, during which they needed to use the standard verification protocol with pre-agreed eye movements (PAEMs) and then immediately raise their eyebrows three times as a PAFM. Results All participants were able to send signals from a total of eight LDs using one or both methods. Preagreed frontalis movements and PAEMs were equally distinctive on most EEGs, but PAFM quality was strongly dependent on the accuracy of the method. Preagreed frontalis movements exhibited two types of EEG patterns and led to immediate awakening when LD was not stable. Discussion Though the outcomes show that PAFMs can be used to verify LD, this method was less consistent and apparent than PAEMs. Furthermore, accurate instructions are needed before using PAFMs. When polysomnography is unavailable, PAFMs can be applied, as it requires only one EEG sensor to detect REM sleep and consciousness simultaneously.

En este ensayo presentamos una reflexión sobre el funcionamiento de ciertos discursos sobre la felicidad propios de la gubernamentalidad neoliberal a la luz del llamado “estallido social” en Chile. En primer lugar, analizamos la relación de estos discursos felicitarios con el neoliberalismo en tanto telón de fondo de donde emergen, para luego examinar la hipótesis que los posiciona como una tecnología de control que operaría de modo calvinista, esto es: a partir de una lógica centrada en la maximización del bienestar individual, la positividad, el optimismo, la auto-exigencia y la libertad personal, como formas de capitalizar el sufrimiento social. En otras palabras, la explotación del sujeto sobre sí mismo bajo la promesa de la felicidad futura: valdrá la pena el sufrimiento si mañana soy feliz. Sostenemos que no es posible desechar la opción de que esta lógica efectivamente ha operado en el contexto chileno y, a su vez, ha sido parte del malestar social acumulado en tanto resulta una promesa incumplida. Por lo mismo, reflexionamos sobre el “estallido social” como una lucha particular que representa una resistencia a esta y otras tecnologías de subjetivación neoliberal, y lo analizamos a partir de una de las aristas más fértiles de la teoría foucaultiana: donde hay poder, hay resistencia.

The paper presents a case study of gravel transshipment in RTC Luka Leget in Sremska Mitrovica, R. Serbia. Problems that led to the incorrect operation of conveyors used in the transshipment of gravel from barges to the separation plant were analyzed. They included activation the safety switch of the conveyor drive, backward movement of the material on the belt, fracture of the connection tension pulley - axle, etc. It was found that ignorance of the actual force in the conveyor belt leads to most of the problems and the need of a solution for this problem was highlighted. At the end, proposed solutions were given in order to establish the normal operation of the plant and to prevent delays in gravel transshipment.

Full textAbstract:
Plants in the Australian genus Eremophila (Scrophulariaceae) have attracted considerable recent attention for their antimicrobial compounds, which possess a wide range of chemical structures. As they are typically associated with the oily-waxy resin layer covering leaves and green branchlets, and Eremophila lucida is prominent among the species containing a pronounced sticky resin layer, this species was considered of interest for assessing its antibacterial constituents. The n-hexane fraction of the crude acetone extract of the leaves exhibited antibacterial activity against Staphylococcus aureus. Isolation led to the known compounds cembratriene, (3Z, 7E, 11Z)-15-hydroxycembra-3,7,11-trien-19-oic acid (1), the sesquiterpenoid, farnesal (2) and the viscidane diterpenoid, 5α-hydroxyviscida-3,14-dien-20-oic acid (3). The purified compounds were tested for antibacterial activity with 2 and 3 showing moderate antibacterial activity against Gram-positive bacteria.

The close collaboration between Chick Corea and Paco de Lucía shows a clear example of the connection between jazz and flamenco. The release of Corea’s <em>My Spanish Heart </em>(1976), an explicit approach to the Latin and Spanish musical spheres, and the recordings of Paco de Lucía with jazz saxophonist Pedro Iturralde in the late 60’s led Paco and Chick to discover one another. This article offers an analytical perspective of the early years of this collaboration by reviewing Corea’s records <em>My Spanish Heart </em>and <em>Touchstone </em>(1982)<em>, </em>and De Lucía’s <em>Paco de Lucía Interpreta a Manuel de Falla</em> (1978) and <em>Solo Quiero Caminar </em>(1981), not only through the solos of the guitarist and pianist, but also through those played by the musicians who recorded and toured with both of them in the following years: Jorge Pardo and Carles Benavent.

Full textAbstract:
The presence of complex geographic variation among species allied to the absence of clear morphological breaks among populations has led to many poorly defined taxa in the genus Pyrrhura (Psittacidae: Arinae: Arini). This article addresses nomenclature of the Pyrrhura picta species complex, particularly the identity of three little-known names introduced by Miranda-Ribeiro (1926): Pyrrhura luciani ochrotis, P. l. pallescens and P. l. melanoides. We show that these names represent subjective synonyms of Pyrrhura snethlageae Joseph & Bates, 2002. Furthermore, we argue that Pyrrhura pallescens (Miranda-Ribeiro, 1926) n. comb. should be considered as the valid senior name because: (1) there is no doubt about the type locality (near the type locality of P. snethlageae) and, as a consequence, it “will best serve stability and universality of nomenclature” as recommended by the International Code of Zoological Nomenclatural, and; (2) it corresponds to the most common phenotype usually referred to as P. snethlageae, the species name that has been used for bird specimens from this region. Those considering P. snethlageae lucida Arndt, 2008 as a valid taxon should refer to this population as Pyrrhura pallescens lucida (Arndt, 2008) n. comb. In a near future P. pallescens melanoides (Miranda-Ribeiro, 1926) n. comb. is likely to be considered the best senior synonym of P. p. lucida given its type locality (Teles Pires River, MT).

Full textAbstract:
Stephen D. Krasner's article in this journal in 1976, “State Power and the Structure of International Trade,” defined the agenda for years of scholarship by being both lucid and problematic. Krasner presented a clear puzzle but manifestly failed adequately to answer the questions that he raised. His key proposition, that strong international economic regimes depend on hegemonic power, was supported by only half of the six cases that he discussed. Yet the cogency of Krasner's formulation of the argument, and the pungency of his rhetoric, led “State Power” to serve as a focal point in a coordination game among three major constituencies in the international political economy field. Liberal transnationalists, statist realists, and their audiences all benefited from Krasner's lucid specification of the issues. As a result of research prompted by Krasner's article, we understand the relationship between international political structure and economic openness much better than we did before it appeared.

AbstractThis study determined the training load (TL) and its relationship with high-intensity running performance across the season in professional soccer players. The TL, YoYo Intermittent Recovery Test Level 2 (YYIR 2) and repeated sprint ability (RSA) were monitored in 29 players (age 26.2±3.8 years, height 173.6±5.6 cm, body mass 68.5±8.6 kg). In the mid in-season (MS), Lucia TRIMP (TRIMPL) was inversely correlated with YYIR 2 (r=−0.6, p<0.05), with total distance (TD), work-rate (WR), low-intensity distance (LID) and player load (PL) showing correlation with YYIR 2 (r=0.81, 0.77, 0.88, 0.67; p<0.05) in the late in-season (LS). In pre-season (PS), TD, WR and moderate-intensity distance (MID) were correlated with YYIR 2 (r=0.65, 0.80, 0.83, p<0.05), whereas in early in-season (ES), TD, WR, LID were correlated with YYIR 2 performance (r=0.58, 0.67, 0.55, p<0.05). There was no significant relationship (p>0.05) between TL and RSA. The findings showed the volume, intensity and types of TL accrued influences the relationship with physical performance that suggest the significance of phase-specific monitoring of TL for maximizing performance in soccer players.

Rae Langton's main purpose in Kantian Humility is to uncover the reasons that led Kant to claim that we can have no knowledge of things in themselves. As part of this effort, she articulates and attempts to defend a novel and intriguing position on what things in themselves are for Kant, and what it means for him to deny knowledge of them. Though the presentation of these views is lucid and informed by selective citation from a range of Kant's works, the argument is flawed and the author's treatment of Kant is blinkered.

Abstract: This article explores the representation of social leader Felicita Campos in a comic book created by members of her community and a team led by sociologist Orlando Fals Borda and painter Ulianov Chalarka in the early 1970s. The comic portrays Campos, a female Afro-Colombian peasant, fighting for recognition of her community's land ownership rights during the 1920s amidst intense repression and violence. Through critical analysis of visual narratives, historical research, and literary criticism, this article highlights the significance of "Felicita Campos: La mujer campesina en lucha por la tierra" as a mnemonic device for remembering and learning from past struggles against land theft and injustice. It also examines her representation as a female protagonist in relation to the natural and non-human world, comparing it to other female roles and representations in Colombian and Latin American comics. The article emphasizes the importance of amplifying the voices of marginalized communities and promoting social justice through visual media like comics. Overall, this article contributes to the scholarship on Afro-Latin American studies, comics studies, and oral and literary traditions, underscoring the importance of "Felicita Campos: La mujer campesina en lucha por la tierra" as a tool for etnoeducación and generating dialogue and participation among marginalized communities.

<p>This essay analyzes Japanese-American immigration into the American West through the prism of athletics, specifically by examining a series of contests between judoka and wrestlers from 1900 to 1920 in California. The popularity of these matches demonstrates the complex relationship between Japanese-Americans and the dominant European-American culture of the western states during this period. This complexity will be shown first by looking at the way in which martial arts are closely linked to national and ethnic identity. The strong barnstorming tradition in both judo and wrestling led to a number of matches of great interest to European-Americans of the period. These matches appealed to an interest in Japanese culture, a desire to see stereotypes reinforced, and nationalist tendencies during an age of uncertainty.</p>

Over more than a century of research has established a wide range of dream-relevant theories, whereas, no one has yet reached an accurate conclusion about the function and meaning of dreams. So, in this project, I desire to review the relationship between sleep and dream and illustrate what is the function of sleep and dream. Firstly, is to state the specific processes of sleep. Humans undergo REM (Rapid Eye Movement) and NREM (non-rapid-eye-movement) during sleep. Additionally, there are various functions of REM, NREM sleep, and dreams which remain controversial. The third ambition of this project is to discuss whether dreams can act as a kind of therapy for mental disorders. And evaluate the effectiveness of lucid dreaming therapy (LDT) in patients suffering from mental disorders.

Full textAbstract:
Bipolar Disorder (BD) is a worldwide, multifactorial mental disorder characterized by manic and depressive symptoms of varying degrees. Among all the genetic risk factors correlated with BD, brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) has emerged as a crucial neutropin that influences BD susceptibility with strong conservative across species and multiple downstream signaling pathways. However, the mechanisms of how BDNF polymorphism can contribute to BD are not yet lucid and systematically reviewed. BDNF Val66Met variant is capable of inducing neurodegenisis and Long-term Depression (LTD), both of which account for pathogenesis in BD. The Val66Met variant is associated with rapid cycling episodes in BD. Another variant, Arg125Met is a potential BD risk variant which elicits neuronal apoptosis by affecting the maturation of BDNF. In this paper, we briefly summarized BD epidemiology, symptoms, BDNF structure, and its action of function. We reviewed various mechanisms of BDNF Val66Met and Arg125Met variant for BD pathogenesis in detail and provided insights into possible BD clinical treatment targets. BDNF has been proven to be a noteworthy gene factor in BD and gene therapy targeted on BDNF is a promising therapeutic strategy that requires further research.

The research method is based on the literature review for examination of the change in the concept of space in performances. In addition, in order to choreograph works in a virtual space, the production and possibilities of works were specified through development meetings with experts in each field, and the meaning of cases was derived through experts. As a result, first, audience participation-type performances using the virtual world can increase the immersion of the work by expanding the role as a participant, not just a viewer. Second, a true convergence of art and technology was presented in the process of dance choreography. It is meaningful in that it not only expanded the area of dance expression by drawing virtual space into the discussion, but also led to a change in the role of the audience to participation rather than viewing.

We briefly review the problems and prospects of the standard lore of dark energy. We have shown that scalar fields, in principle, cannot address the cosmological constant problem. Indeed, a fundamental scalar field is faced with a similar problem dubbed naturalness. In order to keep the discussion pedagogical, aimed at a wider audience, we have avoided technical complications in several places and resorted to heuristic arguments based on physical perceptions. We presented underlying ideas of modified theories based upon chameleon mechanism and Vainshtein screening. We have given a lucid illustration of recently investigated ghost-free nonlinear massive gravity. Again, we have sacrificed rigor and confined to the basic ideas that led to the formulation of the theory. The review ends with a brief discussion on the difficulties of the theory applied to cosmology.

Abstract. The use of remote sensing techniques is now common practice in different working environments, including engineering geology. Moreover, in recent years the development of structure from motion (SfM) methods, together with rapid technological improvement, has allowed the widespread use of cost-effective remotely piloted aircraft systems (RPAS) for acquiring detailed and accurate geometrical information even in evolving environments, such as mining contexts. Indeed, the acquisition of remotely sensed data from hazardous areas provides accurate 3-D models and high-resolution orthophotos minimizing the risk for operators. The quality and quantity of the data obtainable from RPAS surveys can then be used for inspection of mining areas, audit of mining design, rock mass characterizations, stability analysis investigations and monitoring activities. Despite the widespread use of RPAS, its potential and limitations still have to be fully understood.In this paper a case study is shown where a RPAS was used for the engineering geological investigation of a closed marble mine area in Italy; direct ground-based techniques could not be applied for safety reasons. In view of the re-activation of mining operations, high-resolution images taken from different positions and heights were acquired and processed using SfM techniques to obtain an accurate and detailed 3-D model of the area. The geometrical and radiometrical information was subsequently used for a deterministic rock mass characterization, which led to the identification of two large marble blocks that pose a potential significant hazard issue for the future workforce. A preliminary stability analysis, with a focus on investigating the contribution of potential rock bridges, was then performed in order to demonstrate the potential use of RPAS information in engineering geological contexts for geohazard identification, awareness and reduction.

Full textAbstract:
Over the years, on a global scale, asthma has continued to remain one of the leading causes of morbidity, irrespective of age, sex, or social bearings. This is despite the prevalence of varied therapeutic options to counter the pathogenesis of asthma. Asthma, as a disease per se, is a very complex one. Scientists all over the world have been trying to obtain a lucid understanding of the machinations behind asthma. This has led to many theories and conjectures. However, none of the scientific disciplines have been able to provide the missing links in the chain of asthma pathogenesis. This was until epigenetics stepped into the picture. Though epigenetic research in asthma is in its nascent stages, it has led to very exciting results, especially with regard to explaining the massive influence of environment on development of asthma and its varied phenotypes. However, there remains a lot of work to be done, especially with regard to understanding how the interactions between immune system, epigenome, and environment lead to asthma. But introduction of epigenetics has infused a fresh lease of life in research into asthma and the mood among the scientific community is that of cautious optimism.

Full textAbstract:
Fanon wrote and published a number of psychiatric texts between 1951 and 1960, but they have hitherto been the subject of little critical attention. This article considers first Fanon's unpublished medical thesis, which contains a remarkably lucid discussion of the relationship of neurology and psychiatry: Fanon takes a position in the main debates of the time (in particular those opposing Ey and Lacan) which proves crucial for an understanding of his later work on alienation. This article then considers Fanon's published papers on his experiments with neuropsychiatric treatment in St Alban and in Blida, showing how he moved towards a sociotherapeutical approach, which in turn led him to consider the essential role of culture in mental illness. This article ends by examining Fanon's creation, in Tunis, of an institution of psychiatric care outside of the asylum, which he saw as a blueprint for mental health care in the future.

"A Survey of Declining Palms (Arecaceae) With 16SrIV-D Phytoplasma to Evaluate the Distribution and Host Range in Florida."

Full textAbstract:
The 16SrIV-D phytoplasma was first identified in Florida in 2006. Since its discovery, it has spread throughout most of the state. It is most prevalent in the central part of Florida, from Hillsborough County on the west coast to St. Lucie County on the east coast. The 16SrIV-D phytoplasma is the causal agent of lethal bronzing disease (LBD), which is also known as Texas Phoenix palm decline (TPPD). It affects a variety of common and economically important ornamental palm species as well as the native and ecologically important species, Sabal palmetto. It has spread into the southern portions of Florida, where the palm species diversity is higher. The aims of this survey were to document the spread of disease in terms of geographic and host range one decade after its introduction into Florida, and to assess the risk that LBD poses to the nursery and landscaping industries. The survey included samples received from stakeholders throughout the state, covering 18 counties, as well as a systematic sampling of palms at the Fort Lauderdale Research and Education Center (FLREC), where the disease is spreading actively. The findings of this survey resulted in the detection of LBD in eight new counties, including Collier, Hernando, Jefferson, Martin, Miami-Dade, Monroe, Seminole, and St. Johns, and the expansion of LBD into four new host species, Cocos nucifera, Livistona chinensis, Butia capitata, and Carpentaria acuminata. These findings are crucial for stakeholders because they highlight new hosts of 16SrIV-D phytoplasma and the geographic expansion of the disease, indicating that vigilance is needed when surveying declining palms.
