Abstract:

Abstract Using ethnographic materials collected in 2008 and 2009 in a distant and isolated village in East Siberia, this article shows how slow and distorted connections contribute to the development of a specific eco-biopolitical space that can be likened to a spaceship physically disconnected from the mainland. Life in such a ‘bubble’ is dependent on supplies from the mainland, which create rhythms of activities in the community. The lack of access to state services and institutions is compensated by local initiatives to mimic such organisations. The state provides channels of escape from the village, such as emergency flights, but does not invest in infrastructures that would link this settlement to other places. The community ‘bubble’ exists not because of infrastructural absence per se, but because this isolation is asymmetrical. It is easier and faster to get from the village to the centre than it is to return. This imbalance expresses the power relations between the centre and periphery and systematically reproduces conditions in which resources drain from the village. This ‘slow connection’ is the condition for the creation of a specific eco-biopolitical regime, in which a rich place is occupied by people living in poverty.

Abstract:

Slow transportation system is currently a hot topic among Chinese scholars who are interested in either city planning or urban communications. Although their contentions regarding this issue vary, their concerns can be categorized into two main aspects: traffic speed, and the means of travelling. These two concepts are interconnected, as they at the same time contradict each other. However, traffic speed not only depends on peoples’ travelling methods; In this paper, the researcher intends to accomplish two things; one is to rationally study the “fast and slow” of urban traffic and the pedestrianization of urban streets, the other is to rethink the significance of “slow transportation system.”

Abstract:

Abstract Despite ongoing efforts relying on computationally intensive tree-building methods and large datasets, the deeper phylogenetic relationships between living canid genera remain controversial. We demonstrate that this issue arises fundamentally from the uncertainty of root placement as a consequence of the short length of the branch connecting the major canid clades, which probably resulted from a fast radiation during the early diversification of extant Canidae. Using both nuclear and mitochondrial genes, we investigate the position of the canid root and its consistency by using three rooting methods. We find that mitochondrial genomes consistently retrieve a root node separating the tribe Canini from the remaining canids, whereas nuclear data mostly recover a root that places the Urocyon foxes as the sister lineage of living canids. We demonstrate that, to resolve the canid root, the nuclear segments sequenced so far are significantly less informative than mitochondrial genomes. We also propose that short intervals between speciations obscure the place of the true root, because methods are susceptible to stochastic error in the presence of short internal branches near the root.

Abstract:

At this time, a health retreat for urbanities is needed. Health retreat is a facilities of resigning from the hectic daily activities of urban people and to keep them away from the noise of the urban environment, so the complaints that are urban people feel such as sress, tiredness, and poor diet will get the solution when they participating in health retreat acrivities. Urban people is people who livw in urban area with various kind of activities, such as office employees, students, entepreneurs. Many urban people complaint about their lifestyle that less haelthy, because of their hectic activities, until many urban people are stressed. Several stress trigger factor in urban people inclued the noise environment factor, and then traffic jams, pollution, food with less nutrition, and lack of consciouness of the importance activities. The location of this research is in Ubud. The research methods is use method of collecting data with observation, interviews and documentation. The data sources consists of journals and books. The data analysis phase is conducted using qualitative and quantitative methodes, presentation, and accumulation of conclusions. The result of analysis are then carried out a proses of synthesis prosess so as to produce design criteria that must be completed in the transformation process. Research on the design of the health retreat facilities, it aims to know the need for health retreat facilities for urban communities and wants to understand the application of slow living eco-tropical themes and concepts to the design of health retreat facilities and solutions to problems proposed by urbanites.

Abstract:

This study examined whether the acceleration of the passage of time as people get older increases after 75 years of age. Individuals older and younger than 75 years, living either at home or in an institution, were asked to provide retrospective judgments of the passage of long periods of time, as well as judgments of the current passage of time using the Experience Sampling Methodology, in which a series of alerts are delivered everyday by mobile phone. The results showed that the retrospective judgment of the passage of time did not change with age. However, the older participants living in a retirement home, who were more negatively focused on their past, disagreed with the idea that time passes faster with increasing age. By contrast, the judgment of the current passage of time changed after 75 years. However, the perception was not one of acceleration but of slowing down. The best predictors of this slowing down of time were the negative affects, namely sadness, which were particularly high among the participants living in a retirement home. However, as their cognitive functions declined, they perceived time as passing quickly again, and this was accompanied by a greater feeling of happiness.

Abstract:

This article focuses on the feminist mobilization that has characterized Cádiz Carnival since 2011, leading to the elimination of the Ninfas y Diosas (Nymphs and Goddesses) custom, a variant of the Reina de las Fiestas (Queen of Traditional Fiestas) ceremony introduced under Francisco Franco’s dictatorship (1939–75). By calling into question the representation of women in Carnival celebrations, female festive organizations have challenged the old, male-dominated festival traditions and transformed Cádiz Carnival. Their activism has carried over into everyday life, as female Carnival groups have created their own community and translated the artistic manifestations of their desire for equality into public policy. Using oral testimonies and archival material gathered during ethnographic fieldwork in the city, I trace the history of the reina and ninfas customs and analyze a variety of material related to their birth, evolution, and recent discontinuation. The ultimate purpose of this article is to map the tensions embedded in both the festival and contemporary Spanish society and to show how the Carnival stage can become a space where embodied feminist counter-hegemony is performed, thus contributing to the slow democratization of Spanish society.

Abstract:

West Nile virus (WNV), a mosquito-borne virus, has clinically affected hundreds of residents in the Houston metropolitan area since its introduction in 2002. This study aimed to determine if living within close proximity to a water source increases one’s odds of infection with WNV. We identified 356 eligible WNV-positive cases and 356 controls using a population proportionate to size model with US Census Bureau data. We found that living near slow moving water sources was statistically associated with increased odds for human infection, while living near moderate moving water systems was associated with decreased odds for human infection. Living near bayous lined with vegetation as opposed to concrete also showed increased risk of infection. The habitats of slow moving and vegetation lined water sources appear to favor the mosquito-human transmission cycle. These methods can be used by resource-limited health entities to identify high-risk areas for arboviral disease surveillance and efficient mosquito management initiatives.

Abstract This article aims to categorize elderly non-frail (NF), pre-frail (PF) and frail (FF) as to fast and slow gait speed. Compare NF, PF and FF, and analyze associations between fast or slow gait speed with clinical, functional and mental factors. 5,501 elderly (65 years or over; to the Frailty in Brazilian Older People Study), classified as NF, PF and FF (Fried´s frailty phenotype) and, in relation to fast gait speed (≥ 0.8m/s) and slow (< 0.8m/s). Age, sex, body mass index, muscular strength, advanced, instrumental and basic activities of daily living, falls, fear of falling and depressive symptoms were evaluated. Logistic regression analysis investigated associations between variables. The proportion of the slow elderly increased with fragility (NF = 12.39%, PF = 37.56%, FF = 88.83%, p < 0.01). Be woman, performance in activities of daily living, muscle strength and fall were associated with fragility syndrome. The association between frailty and adverse health outcomes reinforces its primacy as an indicator of the functional health of the elderly. Functional capacity, muscular strength, and falls should be evaluated considering their potential for reversibility.

Abstract:

This paper fully discusses the design method of the slow-moving system of new cave buildings based on the concept of "slow city" by various modes of passage and road design, slow-moving system plant design, landscape node design, ecological facilities and so on. Cave architecture is an important part of native architecture, mainly distributed in china's loess plateau area, which is an ancient form of living. With the development of the times, the new cave building is still full of vitality. Based on the concept of "slow city", the design method of construction creates a slow-moving system into its landscape construction. The design follows the principles of regionality, ecology, humanization and emotion.

Abstract:

Is senescence inevitable and universal for all living organisms, as evolutionary theories predict? Although evidence generally supports this hypothesis, it has been proposed that certain species, such as turtles and tortoises, may exhibit slow or even negligible senescence—i.e., avoiding the increasing risk of death from gradual deterioration with age. In an extensive comparative study of turtles and tortoises living in zoos and aquariums, we show that ~75% of 52 species exhibit slow or negligible senescence. For ~80% of species, aging rates are lower than those in modern humans. We find that body weight positively relates to adult life expectancy in both sexes, and sexual size dimorphism explains sex differences in longevity. Unlike humans and other species, we show that turtles and tortoises may reduce senescence in response to improvements in environmental conditions.

Abstract:

In the tourism sector of the economy, food is taking a high position during short-term’s and long-term travels, on the one hand, and also, on the other hand, the dangerous influence of fast-food is well known to the inhabitants of the Earth. That is why in this paper the key aspects of such activity as Slow Food were taken into account. It is important because Slow Food leads us against globalization, commercialization, and marketization of the world. The purpose of the article is to depict the key aspects of the Slow Food concept itself that developed from the social activists movement and nowadays is understood as the key unit of the enogastronomic tourism. The methods that were applied to the purpose of Slow Food study are quantitative analysis, literature knowledge and studying, method of “two steps”, comparative and geographical-comparative, historical, scientific synthesis, etc. The author’s point of view into the Slow Food existence can be depicted as one that transformed from the public social movement to the scientific concept of the enogastronomic tourism, and it is a result of the research accomplishment. Furthermore, the Slow Food movement essence is represented as a peculiar ecosystem and a route to the new way of people living, sustainable use of natural resources, complex cultural system, material and nonmaterial basis of the enogastronomic tourism. The movement strongly influences the rebuilding of the territorial linkages and the region sustainability, helps to balance the usage of the natural resources, and decrease the dangerous influence of human activities into the natural environment, leads to the cities rebranding and changes the tourist’s behavior in it. The history, prerequisites, and place of Slow Food beginnings are briefly reviewed. The Slow Food movement as such one that widely spread all over the World through Slow Food-events application, thematic literature printing, academician community creation, and special education in the universities programs establishment is characterized. The key directions of the Slow Food activities are depicted. The key aspects of formation and development, the trajectory of Slow Food ideas movement, its transformation from an ideology into the scientific concept of the enogastronomic tourism are taken into account. The definition of “Slow Food” is given, and essential features of the concept are depictured. Also, the key theses and goals, principles and rules, the slogan, and agenda of Slow Food were reviewed. At the same time, and this is the key importance of nowadays development and existence of the Slow Food concept, that there are some problems with the absence of strategic complex approach to its studying and development, and for its essential analysis. All of them could be mentioned as the perspective directions of future research and acquiring knowledge about it.

Abstract:

Understanding chromatin organization and dynamics is important, since they crucially affect DNA functions. In this study, we investigate chromatin dynamics by statistically analyzing single-nucleosome movement in living human cells. Bimodal nature of the mean square displacement distribution of nucleosomes allows for a natural categorization of the nucleosomes as fast and slow. Analyses of the nucleosome–nucleosome correlation functions within these categories along with the density of vibrational modes show that the nucleosomes form dynamically correlated fluid regions (i.e., dynamic domains of fast and slow nucleosomes). Perturbed nucleosome dynamics by global histone acetylation or cohesin inactivation indicate that nucleosome–nucleosome interactions along with tethering of chromatin chains organize nucleosomes into fast and slow dynamic domains. A simple polymer model is introduced, which shows the consistency of this dynamic domain picture. Statistical analyses of single-nucleosome movement provide rich information on how chromatin is dynamically organized in a fluid manner in living cells.

Abstract:

ABSTRACT This study investigated the feasibility of a slow-release inoculation approach as a bioaugmentation strategy for the degradation of lindane (γ-hexachlorocyclohexane [γ-HCH]). Slow-release inoculation of Sphingomonas sp. γ 1-7 was established in both liquid and soil slurry microcosms using open-ended silicone tubes in which the bacteria are encapsulated in a protective nutrient-rich matrix. The capacity of the encapsulated cells to degrade lindane under aerobic conditions was evaluated in comparison with inoculation of free-living cells. Encapsulation of cells in tubes caused the removal of lindane by adsorption to the silicone tubes but also ensured prolonged biodegradation activity. Lindane degradation persisted 2.2 and 1.4 times longer for liquid and soil slurry microcosms, respectively, than that for inoculation with free cells. While inoculation of free-living cells led to a loss in lindane-degrading activity in limited time intervals, encapsulation in tubes allowed for a more stable actively degrading community. The loss in degrading activity was linked to the loss of the linA gene, encoding γ-HCH dehydrochlorinase (LinA), which is involved in the initial steps of the lindane degradation pathway. This work shows that a slow-release inoculation approach using a catabolic strain encapsulated in open-ended tubes is a promising bioaugmentation tool for contaminated sites, as it can enhance pollutant removal and can prolong the degrading activity in comparison with traditional inoculation strategies.

Abstract:

Abstract Background: Older adults living in rural areas experience health inequities compared to their urban counterparts. These include comorbidities, poor diet and physical inactivity; known risk factors for sarcopenia. No studies examining urban-rural differences in the prevalence of sarcopenia and slow gait speed among older adults in the United States exist. Objective: To compare the prevalence of sarcopenia and slow gait speed between urban and rural older adults living in the United States. As a secondary aim, we examined relationships between rural residency, total energy and total protein on gait speed and grip strength. Methods: We performed a secondary data analysis of two cohorts in the continuous NHANES (2001-2002 and 2011-2014), using gait speed or grip strength data, along with urban-rural status, dietary, examination, questionnaire and demographic data in older (≥ 60 yrs.) adults. Results: The prevalence of GripBMI weakness was higher in urban vs. rural participants (27.4% vs. 19.2%), whereas their absolute grip strength was lower (31.75(±0.45) vs. 33.73(±0.48)). Total energy, total protein and relative protein intakes were similar between urban and rural participants. Total energy intake was associated with gait speed and grip strength. Conclusions: Older adults living in urban areas of the United States, were weaker compared to their rural counterparts. Rural residency was not associated with gait speed or grip strength. Total energy intake was associated with slower gait speed but higher grip strength. This report is the first to examine urban-rural differences in sarcopenia and slow gait speed in older adults living in the United States.

Abstract:

AbstractThe effect of non-slow (typically fast) components of a rotating stratified Boussinesq flow on the dynamics of the slow manifold is quantified using a decomposition that isolates the part of the flow living on the slow manifold. In this system, there are three distinct asymptotic limits with corresponding reduced equations, each defining a slow manifold. All three of these distinct limits, namely rapid rotation, strong stratification, and simultaneous strong stratification and rapid rotation (quasi-geostrophy), are considered. Numerical simulations indicate that, for the geometry considered (triply periodic) and the type of forcing applied, the fluctuations act as a conduit, moving energy onto the slow manifold. This decomposition clarifies how the energy is exchanged when either the stratification or the rotation is weak. In the quasi-geostrophic limit, most of the energy transfer is between slow potential energy and slow kinetic energy, but the energetics due to the fluctuations are less clear. It is observed that the energy off the slow manifold in each case equilibrates to a quasi-steady value.

Abstract:

Commonly known as 'water bears', tardigrades are a phylum of microscopic animals that can be found living on mosses and lichens all over the world. The name Tardigrada means 'slow walker' which describes their sluggish, deliberate movements. Between these slow movements and their 'teddy bear' like appearance, tardigrades are the only really “cute” invertebrate. Tardigrades, Echiniscus sp., are generally less than 500 micrometers in length and require at least40-power magnification to be seen clearly.

Abstract:

The aim of the study is a spatial analysis of changes in the standard of living of the poviats of the Lesser Poland voivodeship. During the study, the synthetic measure has been used which is based on 2011-2017 data. Finally with TOPSIS method the rankings of poviats has been created. It is shown that Krakow and its closest neighborhoods citizens enjoy the highest standard of living. The changes in synthetic measure are rather slow. Coefficient of variation suggests that the spatial diversity of standard of living in Lesser Poland is decreasing.

Abstract:

Porcine epidemic diarrhea virus (PEDV), a member of the genus Alphacoronavirus, has caused severe damage to the swine industry. Although viruses are believed to hijack the microtubule-based transport system, the exact manner of PEDV moving along microtubules has not been fully characterized. In this study, PEDV was labeled with quantum dots which have great brightness and photostability. By using quantum dot-labeled PEDV and single-particle tracking, we were able to systematically dissect the dynamic behaviors of PEDV moving along the microtubules in living cells. We found that PEDVs maintained a restricted motion mode with a relatively stable speed in the cell membrane region while displaying a slow–fast–slow velocity pattern with different motion modes in the cell cytoplasm region and near the microtubule-organizing center. The return movements of small amounts of PEDVs were also observed in living cells. Collectively, our work is crucial for understanding the movement of PEDV in living cells; the proposed work also provides important references for further analysis and studies of the infection mechanism of PEDV.

Abstract:

The Internet has made long distances almost transparent, allowing people living in different parts of the planet to communicate in an instant. With the advent of internet in developing countries, researchers all over the world have been able to collaborate to find cures for deadly diseases prevailing in most developing nations. The average number of internet users increased from 16 million users in 1995 to 3079 million users at the end of the year 2014 and is anticipated to grow exponentially over the next decade. This increased dependence on technology also results in an increased need for faster internet. Let’s illustrate this with an example. Imagine you are a surgeon in Southern Africa and you are about to operate on a child having a potentially fatal disease. It is critical to perform the surgery at the earliest opportunity. However, there are complications involved, therefore, you decide to consult a senior ...

Abstract:

In the 1980s some unexpected cases of AAR cracking developed in the UK. There was no guidance on its effects on structures. In Devon many bridges, a car park and the 400 bed Exeter hospital had severe cracking and it was growing. Innovations in testing and analysis on these structures and their concrete led to the development of the IStructE Guidance on Structural Effects of AAR. The severity of damage to the hospital led to its replacement. Other buildings and bridges throughout the UK have benefited from this engineering approach to their management. It has provided a basis for RILEM international guidance. Expansion to date can be determined from surface cracking or loss of stiffness of cores. Well detailed reinforcement, to contain expansion in 3-dimensions, retains strength. Cracking leading to failure can develop where there is no reinforcement aligned to contain it. Petrography can diagnose AAR, even when it is trivial, but cannot quantify its severity. Most structures can live safely with an AAR diagnosis, but the containment provided by the reinforcement must be checked and augmented if necessary. Controlling moisture can slow the reaction, but this is not possible below ground where the worst problems occur.
