Present Form Research Articles

The French Society for Cell Biology celebrates its 40th anniversary this year!

The French Society for Cell Biology (SBCF) is actively involved in communicating the latest advances and organizing scientific events, as well as supporting young researchers, in this field. The SBCF also supports and organizes outreaching activities designed to raise public awareness of science in general and cell biology in particular. The Society, in its present form, was founded in 1984. To mark this milestone, we are organizing a memorable symposium hosted by the Académie des Sciences (https://sbcf.fr/en/event/symposium-des-40-ans-de-la-sbcf/) on September 10, 2024.

Heathering Winds von Dan Dediu, oder die Ausbreitung der Melodie

As a musical parameter, melody – conventionally understood as a (consecutive) succession of sounds – is an essential coordinate of Romanian music, which claims stylistically and historically from the parlando-rubato aesthetics of tradition folk music. In Dan Dediu’s piano piece Heathering Winds we discover a new perspective on the composition of melody (an essential parameter in the composition of music), which can also be regarded as a new view, as a different aesthetics, both for first, and the second half of the 20th century, therefore characteristic to our time. The analytical approach presents an overview of the piano piece inspired by Emily Brontë’s novel Wuthering Heights, in which key points from the British writer’s novel are presented, followed by an overview of the formal dramaturgy and presentation of the piano piece’s main musical ideas. Finally, our melodic analysis uses the theorising of the composer himself (Dan Dediu, Melodia, 2006) to capture the complexity of melodic structuring, which – breaking the traditional pattern of a melodic line, in which the ratio of durations and pitches is optimal to be perceived as such – expands, tending towards what Dediu calls infra- and supermelody, i.e. a melody that pushes its boundaries, creating, from a single “melodic thread”, the illusion of an innovative musical syntax.

Color Plates, Material, and Condition: Hermann Krone’s Contributions to Lippmann Interferential Color Photography

Abstract Lippmann color photographs are among the rarest examples of early color photography in public and private collections worldwide. At the time, Hermann Krone was probably one of those who contributed most actively and with remarkable results to the Lippmann process. After general remarks about Krone’s work, this paper will describe more deeply his book about color photography focusing on the direct color process, the technology he practiced himself to accomplish interferential color, and the body of his Lippmann color photographs, which still exists today in major collections, and which has been recently examined by the author. With a focus on the work of Krone, the paper aims to give an overview of the variety of presentation forms of Lippmann color images in existence today and closes with information on the permanence and preservation of these early color photographic materials.

FRAMEWORK FOR THE DEVELOPMENT OF DIGITAL STRATEGIES FOR INDUSTRIAL COMPANIES: PRINCIPLES, METHODS AND TOOLS

Strategic management and strategy as a tool for managing business development have become responses to the increasing instability of the external environment. With the advent and development of digital technologies, there has been another quantitative and qualitative leap in the growth of uncertainty in the operating conditions of industrial enterprises. In order to remain competitive, they have embarked on a digital transformation process, the success of which also largely depends on having a clear strategy for implementing the transformation. The requirements for such a strategy, and the methods and tools used to develop it, are in some respects very different from those used in traditional strategic management. This determines the research relevance in the field of determining the nature of the digital strategy of the industrial enterprise, methods and tools for its development. It is shown that a digital strategy is a strategy for business development in a digital environment and that the key problem in its development is the need to significantly increase flexibility while maintaining a certain stability. Analysis of trends in the area of adaptation and development of methods for strategy development in the digital environment was carried out. Four broad sets of methods for increasing strategic flexibility have been identified: based on scenario development, experimentation, the use of organisational and management mechanisms, and on the use of ecosystem capabilities. Taking into account the stages of digital transformation process of the industrial enterprise and the basic practices of adaptive management, a landscape of methods and tools for the formation of a digital strategy of a company has been built up, allowing to broaden the understanding and to make a reasonable choice of an instrumental and methodological base. The concept of a minimum viable strategy is highlighted as a promising direction for developing a flexible digital strategy for an enterprise. A tool for its development is proposed in the form of a one-page presentation (canvas) that logically combines the key components of a digital strategy, ensuring its flexibility and sustainability.

MEDYA VE RIZA ÜRETİMİ: COVID-19 AŞISI OLMAYAN KİTLE ÜZERİNDE BİR ALAN ARAŞTIRMASI

Being in power or maintaining existing power is Lippmann's (1998) sought protection from the crowd, which he defined as the 'great mob', or bound to obtain his consent. With the first social structures, the governments' constant surveillance of the masses, the trust and consent of the masses to the government. created an important management problem. There are various means by which society can consent and be persuaded. The media is the most effective of these tools. The media ensures the production of consent by persuading the public with effective propaganda techniques. In the process of media consent production, “by shaping history around a certain ideology, it enables certain things to emerge, some things not to be seen, some questions to be asked, other questions to be ignored and issues to be framed in a certain way” (Chomsky, Aljazeera 2017). One of the examples that clearly shows that the US has shaped the US government is that when the US mainstream media's broadcasts were analyzed after the 9/11 attacks, it was found that the overwhelming majority produced news that was pro-US government (Robin, 2006). Consent production techniques of the media are also seen in the presentation form of Covid-19 vaccines. While the mainstream media revealed that their views are indisputably true and based on science, they also accused the cautious audience of compulsory vaccination of ignorance and anti-science (Gazeteduvar, 2022). This process has brought about a serious information pollution, panic atmosphere, false news and false information. According to Chomsky (2017), while the media is deliberately used as a propaganda tool by the governments, the main task of the media is propaganda. Despite the persuasion efforts of the media, the rate of those who have never been vaccinated in the adult population in Turkey is 9% on average, according to the data of the Ministry of Health. In the population with the Covid-19 vaccine, the rate of being vaccinated decreased as the doses increased. After the first dose, the rate of being vaccinated for the third dose decreased by 43% on average (Ministry of Health, 2023). Despite the intense use of agenda setting, persuasion techniques, consent production, propaganda, fear, official bans and even coercion, what is the demographic and ideological structure of the unvaccinated mass, what are the basic values that motivate the unvaccinated mass, and trust in institutions and especially in the media. The size of their situation presents itself as an important question. In the most general sense, this research aims to understand and get to know the mass that has never been vaccinated against Covid-19, despite the fact that the media influences the public, despite the news and guidance of the media about the need to be vaccinated constantly and intensively. Despite the persuasion efforts of the media, propaganda techniques, agenda setting and consent manufacturing processes, the demographic, ideological characteristics of the 9% of the population who have never been vaccinated against Covid-19 in Turkey, what they were affected by, their trust in the media, their perspective on the pandemic and their motivations for not being vaccinated should be examined. are among the questions. In this research, the structure of the population, which has never been vaccinated and is never affected by the media, has been tried to be scrutinized, despite the necessity and necessity of vaccination in the media, and even the information about the death of those who are not vaccinated despite the imposition of the legal circulars. It is important to recognize the mass that does not engage in media interaction and consent production and to understand their motivation to develop resistance to the media. During the pandemic period, accusations such as ignorant, anti-scientific and religious were said about those who did not have the Covid-19 vaccine. However, as a result of this research, it was observed that the unvaccinated population had a different profile. Those who are not vaccinated against Covid-19 are mostly middle-aged, educated, semi-religious/conservative semi-secular masses who are not vaccinated against Covid-19. An educated and conscious audience stands out. It is believed that the media does not trust the media and that the media is completely biased during the pandemic process. The main motivation of this group is beyond religious reasons, but medical reasons such as forcing the vaccine, breaking the law, the plans of the global system and not trusting the vaccine. While the main source of information for this audience is some doctors and social media, they never follow television and print media clearly. This mass did not find any institution successful during the pandemic period and was not affected by official institutions.

Type 1 diabetes in pediatrics during the COVID-19 pandemic: Time from symptom onset and forms of presentation at a referral hospital.

Introduction. The COVID-19 pandemic impacted on the health care of patients with type 1 diabetes mellitus (DM1). An increase in diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA) as a form of diagnosis was reported. Objectives. To assess whether there were changes in the time from symptom onset, the causes of hospitalization due to DM1, and the proportion of severe forms, and to describe SARS-CoV-2 infection in these patients. Population and methods. Cross-sectional study in patients younger than 19 years hospitalized due to DM1 from March 2018 to August 2019 (pre-pandemic) and from March 2020 to August 2021 (pandemic). Results. The assessment included 135 hospitalizations in the pre-pandemic period and 96 during the pandemic. The time from symptom onset during the pandemic in those with debut of diabetes was shorter than in the pre-pandemic period (18.8 ± 10.2 versus 52.1 ± 12.1 days, respectively; p < 0.001). Hospitalizations due to all forms of diabetes debut and debut with DKA were more common during the pandemic than before it (59.4% versus 39.3%; odds ratio [OR]: 2.3; 95% confidence interval [CI]: 1.3-3.8; p = 0.003 and 40.6% versus 20.7%; OR: 2.6; 95% CI: 1.4-5.2; p = 0.006, respectively). Severe forms of DKA did not change between both periods (48.1% versus 59.9%; p = 0.3). Only 6 patients developed SARS-CoV-2 infection; 3 were severe. Conclusion. During the pandemic, the time from symptom onset decreased and the frequency of hospitalizations due to debut of DM1 increased. The proportion of severe forms of DKA did not change.

Preface

PROCEEDINGS International Symposium From the Universe Back to Earth: Developing Astronomy to Meet Today’s Natural Challenges The year 2023 is a very special one for Indonesian astronomy for two reasons: (1) the centennial of Bosscha Observatory, an establishment that marked the birth of modern astronomy (and an example of a scientific institution) in Southeast Asia, and (2) the passing of Total Solar Eclipse over Indonesia. This has been a unique time to draw attention to astronomy as a science that offers huge potential to contribute beyond astronomy itself, but closer to us all, that is to the achievement of sustainable development goals. This is also timely in keeping the COP28 resolution momentum high. This symposium aimed at clarifying the motivation to identify knowledges and skills in astronomy and astrophysics that push our contribution to saving Earth and strengthening collaborative networks that will expedite the achievement of the motivation. The symposium subtopics covered details of science and facilities developed in astronomy and astrophysics that could be useful in investigating and understanding the physical property and history of Earth as part of the solar system, but also as a unique planet. Better understanding of Earth would lead us to better caring for it. This idea has inspired a number of astronomical projects around the world to invest significant portions of their activities to study Earth, which are now developing into interesting projects in their own rights. With the challenges in understanding various natural phenomena on Earth we currently face, it is imperative that we lend our knowledge in astronomy and astrophysics, facilities, technologies, tools, to expedite our learning of the Earth system and work together with a wider field of expertise relevant to the effort of saving our Earth. Meanwhile, we realize the crucial role of education and capacity building in all parts of work. In the education sector, astronomy is popular to all age groups, making it relatively easier for astronomers to engage the public. The reasons that make astronomy appealing to all are precisely the ones that make astronomy a good entrance to STEAM education. Astronomy is universal and inspirational, relates to all sciences, pushes technology forward, and invites people to reflect. Those reasons are woven to construct the goals of learning STEAM via astronomy, which are: (1) To raise awareness and comprehension of the physical world and natural causal relation; (2) To promote rational perception and respect towards abiotic and biotic environments, including human being; (3) To promote curiosity, knowledge, skill, creativity in STEAM; and (4) To promote positive participation and mindfulness. Those four goals resemble and emphasize the key spirit of the Sustainable Development Goals. The SOC members, representing various STEAM elements and world regions, bring in their respective expertise, experiences, and networks, reflecting the coverage of the subtopics that embed the goals. The SOC members, and invited speakers, reflect the covered subtopics, represent world regions (thus experiences), and the symposium inclusive spirit. This symposium also accommodated learning experience from works at the interface with relevant public and education sectors. It was held in the first week of October 2023, in a university setting to allow the message to reverberate across academia. Participation were in form of oral and poster presentations, group discussions, and exhibition contribution. The symposium was conducted on hybrid platform to allow wider audience, consisted of plenary of invited and contributed talks with fair allotted time for each. An adjacent room was used for posters and exhibitions of astronomical instruments and hands-on educational materials. We gratefully acknowledge support from the Rector of Institut Teknologi Bandung (ITB), the Faculty of Mathematics and Natural Sciences of ITB, Lembaga Penelitian dan Pengabdian pada Masyarakat of ITB, Common Room, Imahnoong, and all who have dedicated their time and resources to ensure the success of this symposium, indeed this new endeavour of astronomy for Earth and humanity.

Novel Lessons In NW

Abstract: With a mixture of structural homage and ironic reference, Zadie Smith’s fragmentary, polyvocal novel NW (2012) cannily adapts the imperatives of the classic bildungsroman from a nineteenth-century national-industrial context to a contemporary global frame. Within NW ’s four main narratives of formation, education and individual ambition serve not to cultivate and fulfill, but to frustrate, fail, or fragment. As a counterpoint to its negative assessment of education and linear progression, however, NW ’s thorough manipulation of the logic of formation highlights the novel’s capacity to reorient readers’ modes of attention and empathy as conditioned by alterity, to use Dorothy Hale’s term. Drawing on Smith’s essays, I suggest that NW ’s experimental novelistic techniques present alternative forms of education for the reader: a range of indeterminate and uncertain “lessons,” dependent on singular encounters with the text.

Patología vascular mesentérica

Mesenteric vascular disease is wide-ranging and can produce different manifestations depending on various factors, including the presence of symptoms or not; the clinical form of presentation; the vessels involved, duration, and cause; and collateral blood flow. The clinical entities described herein include acute and chronic mesenteric artery ischemia; nonocclusive mesenteric ischemia; acute, subacute, and chronic mesenteric venous thrombosis; focal segmental ischemia of the small intestine; colonic ischemia; arterial aneurysms; and vasculitis.This disease produces a wide spectrum of clinical symptoms that share the same predisposing factors and many etiologies, although with different consequences. Abdominal pain is the most common clinical symptom in these diseases. In acute forms, high clinical suspicion is essential for making a rapid diagnosis and early treatment that prevents more severe lesions. The widespread use of computed tomography has led to greater diagnostic rates with an improved prognosis for these patients.Treatment varies from conservative to surgical, depending on the case. Early anticoagulation is a fundamental treatment in many cases and in recent years, vascular radiology techniques have been developed which produce good results.

The forms of positioning of Russian fine art in the cultural space of modern Shanghai

The purpose of the study is to identify the main forms of presentation and positioning of Russian fine art, in particular the St. Petersburg art school, in the cultural space of modern Shanghai. The research material is the works of fine art by artists from Russia, which were presented during this period at exhibitions and other cultural and educational events in Shanghai. Tasks: to determine the range of events in Shanghai in which the works of Russian artists participated in the 2010-2020s.; to characterize the works of Russian authors presented at exhibitions, including through the artistic analysis of the latter; to identify the authors, themes, genres and images of Russian painting, and historical periods that are in demand by residents of the Chinese city. The theoretical and methodological basis of this research is the works on the history and theory of Soviet and modern Russian art, the art market, philosophy and aesthetics, as well as factual materials related to the artistic life of modern Shanghai, especially those presented in announcements and descriptions of exhibition projects and other events in Shanghai with the participation of Russian painting. The novelty of the study is due to the fact that it highlights the current situation in the field of presentation of Russian art by Chinese institutions on the example of Shanghai, a city that is traditionally famous for its ties with the culture of its northern neighbor, especially with St. Petersburg – the cradle of the artistic traditions of Russian art. By referring to the material of art exhibitions of the 2010-2020s, which took place in different spaces of Shanghai, the author analyzes which approaches the curators of such projects prefer in the presentation of Russian painting, both modern and Soviet period. An artistic analysis of the pictorial material of the exhibitions is carried out. The main function of these events is determined by the comparison of Russian and Chinese painting, which is important for new generations of masters.

Mediation, Stream of Consciousness, and the Faulknerian Voice: As I Lay Dying to The Town

In what sense are literary techniques historically contingent? This essay considers how William Faulkner’s mode of stream of consciousness developed from As I Lay Dying (1930) to The Town (1957). It questions how the same formal presentation of stream of consciousness achieves opposed aesthetic effects: across three decades, character difference becomes sameness, individuality turns to collectivity, and as midcentury readers lamented, the distinctiveness of the Faulknerian voice disappears. The first half of this study identifies a shift in Faulkner’s stream-of-consciousness novels from obscuring to displaying signs of technological mediation, while the second half aligns this trend with an editorial process that foregrounded the role of the typewriter. Tracing these ideas to an analogous theory of the unconscious by psychologist William James, who gave currency to the phrase “stream of consciousness,” this essay argues that the Faulknerian voice—and perhaps literary techniques writ large—depends on processes of mediation irreducible to, yet constitutive of, literary form.

Effective Motion Self-Learning Genre Using 360° Virtual Reality Content on Mobile Device: A Study Based on Taichi Training Platform.

Online fitness training, with its affordability and flexibility, offers a convenient way for individuals to engage in regular workouts that promote physical and mental health. Yet, learning fitness motions in this way presents various challenges and may not always be as effective as in-person training. To address the practical demands of motion learning, we conducted a systematic survey and accordingly proposed a four-stage self-learning genre that integrates immersive virtual reality (VR) environments with motion skill learning theories, strategies, and expert experience. Herein, we merged progressive structures and multi-level visual cues to enhance instruction, and proposed a fine-grained motion analysis method to provide adaptive correction feedback during training. Utilizing a Taichi training platform with the genre embedded, we systematically validated the effectiveness of the genre, and examined the potential impact of VR content presentation form on motion learning among different age groups, as well as their preferences and focus on VR fitness training genre design. Results from the quantitative analysis, qualitative evaluation, and case study showed that the 360° video-based VR content brought more positive motion learning performance and user experiences than the fully-simulated VR used in many previous studies. The proposed genre demonstrated outstandingly performance, experience, and usability, with each stage and design playing an effective role. Moreover, we offer several design considerations for VR fitness systems targeting diverse age groups, providing beneficial insights for VR development in the sports and health-related fields.

Unintended Consequences of Special Education and Consideration of Change

This scholarly review presents a case for transforming special education rather than reauthorizing special education law in its present form and, in doing so, reconceptualizing the inclusion movement to recognize marginalizing influences. A comprehensive review of research, policy reviews, and observations of praxis is undertaken to examine current special education law. Three unintended consequences are identified: (a) the least restrictive environment provision; (b) incremental successes of the inclusion movement’s emphasis on placement; and (c) the effort to promote racial integration in current special education policy. While unintended consequences cannot be foreseen, the structure of the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEIA) has changed little since the 1970s despite evolving praxis and understandings of social justice. This article is intended to facilitate a conversation about a path forward for special education, including whether IDEIA should be reauthorized in its present form, or what form might be taken under alternative policy.

A shear‐transformation‐zone model for time‐dependent behaviours of clay

AbstractA shear‐transformation‐zone (STZ) model is proposed for time‐dependent behaviours of clay, in which the viscoplastic deformation is described by the evolution of a temperature‐like state variable. The model is featured by rate‐dependent dilatancy and a unique critical state stress ratio. In its present form, it has nine parameters, most of which can be handily calibrated, and can predict the rate‐dependent undrained shear strength, primary, and secondary creep, as well as stress relaxation for normally consolidated clay under complex stress paths using a single set of parameters. The capabilities of the model have been verified by available experimental results on five different clays.

Influence of different presentation forms of chlorhexidine on contaminated root canals during agitation.

This invitro study aimed to verify the influence of chlorhexidine (CHX) (gel and solution) in association with different activation protocols on disinfection of root canals contaminated with Enterococcus faecalis. In total, 120 lower premolar roots were selected, contaminated and divided into 12 groups according to irrigation technique and substance. Samples were collected before and after each irrigation technique and analysed for colony-forming units (CFU). Three dentin discs were obtained for quantification of viable intratubular cells by using confocal laser scanning microscopy (CLSM). CFU results showed that sonic and ultrasonic were more effective than conventional irrigation. Ultrasonic activation was more effective than sonic for CHX gel (p < 0.05). CLSM showed that either activation was better than conventional in all groups and root canal thirds (p < 0.05). It was concluded that ultrasonic/sonic activation was more effective than conventional techniques and CHX enhanced intratubular dentin decontamination across all irrigation methods.

Unraveling interlanguage variability: A psycholinguistic exploration of morphological forms in Iranian ESL learners' written performance

The present research study aimed to investigate the psycholinguistic aspects of interlanguage (IL) variability in English as a second language learners from Iran. Three morphological forms were specifically examined in this study: the plural "-s," past tense forms, and present tense forms. In order to investigate the learners' cognitive processes, the researchers used a mixed-method approach, combining qualitative semi-structured interviews with quantitative analysis of written task performance. Under various task conditions, learners exhibited two opposing patterns of IL variability (increasing and decreasing) in their morphological forms. Various degrees of accuracy were noted for every kind of morpheme. Different students allocated their attention differently to form and meaning in both under pressure and relaxed task environments. The observed variations could have been caused by limited working memory and attention capacity in addition to L1 transfer. The research indicated that the field of second language acquisition could benefit from an explanatory approach to comprehend IL variability from the learner's perspective. It provides recommendations for larger-scale research projects in a variety of educational contexts, along with pedagogical implications.

#1475 Anti-neutrophil cytoplasmic antibodies (ANCA) associated vasculitis (AAV) with glomerulonephritis (AAV-GN) in real world life

Abstract Background and Aims Anti-neutrophil cytoplasmic antibodies (ANCA) associated vasculitis (AAV) with glomerulonephritis (AAV-GN) is a rare disease and the different treatment with plasma exchange are still controversial. We evaluate the AAV-GN outcomes of the last ten years in our centre. Method We retrospectively reviewed the clinical presentations and outcomes of AAV-GN patients in our centre between 2013-2022. We compared the presentation and prognosis according to the type of ANCA, serum creatinine (SCr) and the use of plasma exchange (PLEX). We included patients with AAV and kidney biopsy with at least 6 months of follow-up. Patients with positivity for both MPO and PR3, anti-GBM antibodies or did not meet inclusion criteria were excluded. Results Of 64 patients reviewed, 13 were excluded: 3 lack of follow-up, 3 absence of renal biopsy, 3 ANCA negative, and 4 concomitant anti-GBM antibodies. A total of 51 patients were included in the analysis (Table 1): 28 women (54.9%), age 66.75 ± 15.24 years, (64.7% over 65 years) and 44 (86.3%) with ANCA-MPO (+). Results comparing ANCA-MPO and PR3 in Table 1. The most frequent form of presentation was anaemia with haemoglobin 9.87 ± 2.04 mg/dL, acute kidney injury (AKI) AKIN III (39.2%), median SCr 2.78 (1.58-5.22) mg/dL, 41 (80.4%) with microhematuria, proteinuria 2.62 ± 2.7g/g, and 8 (15.7%) alveolar haemorrhage. 18 patients (25.3%) required hemodialysis, and 7 (13.5%) were transient (4 requiring &amp;lt;1 month). Rituximab was more used than cyclophosphamide (p &amp;lt; 0.001). Of the patients treated with plasma exchange (PLEX, n = 11), 6 (54.5%) had alveolar haemorrhage and/or 7 (63.6%) SCr&amp;gt;5.6 mg/dL, with no further infections or mortality at one year. Of the patients diagnosed with SCr&amp;gt;5.6 mg/dL, 9 (81.8%) were men (p = 0.008), 7 (63.6%) received PLEX (p &amp;lt; 0.001) and 6 (54.4%) died (p = 0.003). As expected, in the multivariate binary logistic regression SCr&amp;gt;5.6 at diagnosis was identified as independent risk factor for PLEX (p = 0.02, OR = 15.6 (95% CI 3.16-76.92). There were 13 deaths (25.5%), 6 in the first year after diagnosis. The most used maintenance treatment was MMF (52.9%), SCr and glomerular filtration rates at 2 years were 1.5 mg/dL and 45.36 mL/min/1.72 m² respectively. Conclusion The most common AAV-GN in our centre are ANCA-MPO+, and mainly affect people over 65 years of age, with rituximab being the most used treatment. ANCA-MPO+ patients have worse renal function at 18 months of follow-up. Mortality is higher in AAV-GN with serum creatinine greater than 5.6 mg/dL at diagnosis and in ANCA-MPO+. PLEX therapy is more used in cases of alveolar hemorrhage or severe renal involvement, without presenting an impact in our cohort in the incidence of infections or mortality at one year of follow-up.
