No full textData and codes for: Does political trust bridge the ideological gap in preferences for redistribution? Evidence from Europe
No full textThe question of whether government should redistribute to reduce economic inequality is the most marked dividing line between the political left and the political right on economic issues. Hetherington's trust-as-heuristic theory predicts that political trust is an important instrument in bridging the ideological gap in preferences for redistribution. While this theory has received considerable empirical support in the United States, limited studies have been done in the European context. Employing data from the European So-
cial Survey(ESS) from 2008 to 2017, this study shows that political trust is negatively associated with preferences for redistribution. In addition, political trust widens, rather than bridges, the ideological gap in preferences for
redistribution in Europe. The results suggest that Europeans with higher levels of political trust are less likely to exhibit stronger preferences for redistribution because redistribution is perceived as less necessary to correct injustices generated by corruption. As a result, at higher levels of political trust, the left and the right tend to exercise their ideological principles, with the right being even less in favour of redisribution, giving rise to a greater ideological gap
Adult-onset metachromatic leukodystrophy with compound heterozygous ARSA gene mutation presented with mania and cognitive decline
No full textAdult-onset metachromatic leukodystrophy is often a diagnostic challenge to many clinicians. It may be presented with psychiatry symptom before other evidences of leukodystrophy are uncovered. We report a 53-year-old patient who presented with 7-year history of manic-like presentation in addition to progressive neurocognitive deterioration. Diagnosis was made eventually with neuroimaging. Mutational analysis showed compound heterozygous of ARSA gene. This case demonstrated the challenge in diagnosing this condition due to its complex neuropsychiatric presentation

No full textChinese literary works translated into Baba Malay: a bibliographical study
No full textAnalyses 68 unique titles of Baba translated works published between 1889 and 1950. The titles are held in the libraries of the University of Malaya (UM), Science University Malaysia (USM), National University of Malaysia (UKM), the Dewan Bahasa dan Pustaka (DBP), National University of Singapore (NUS), National Library of Singapore (NLS) and the British Library (BL). The results reveal three periods of active publication of Baba translated works. A total of 18 works were translated before World War I, followed by 10 just after the war, 39 titles were published before the break of the World War II and 1 was identified in 1950. There were 103 persons involved in the 68 translated works, some of whom are responsible for more than one title. The most prominent translators were Chan Kim Boon, Wan Boon Seng, Seow Chin San and Lee Seng Poh. Some of the translators were also be editors, illustrators or editors. There were 31 publishers and 21 printing presses involved, all were located in Singapore. The most active publishers were Wan Boon Seng, Kim Seck Chy Press and Nanyang Romanised Malay Book Co. The translated works mainly cover historical classical Chinese stories, chivalrous stories, romances, folklore and legends. The titles were priced between 10 cents to 2 dollars in Straits currency. The University of Malaya Library held the largest number of unique title (62) out of which 15 were unique titles

Printing of Woodpile Scaffold Using Fresnel Lens for Tissue Engineering
No full textTissue engineering has played a very significant role in the medical field with an ever-growing demand for various tissue donations. One crucial factor is the fabrication of a desirable artificial three-dimensional (3D) tissue scaffold to act as the extracellular matrix (ECM), meeting the complex requirements for specific cell cultures. Existing scaffold fabrication techniques and systems used in constructing extracellular matrix are two-dimensionally limiting, expensive, and time-consuming. For instance, some simple fabrication methods cannot control fabricated structures with morphologies accurately, while others may introduce harmful organic solvents into scaffolds during the fabrication processes. To achieve an optimal scaffold for tissue engineering, we developed a novel 3D printing system capable of printing tissue scaffold structures with improved efficiency. The uniqueness of our system is the transparent diffractive optical elements (DOEs) of linear binary Fresnel lens fabricated to control the luminous intensity distribution. These DOEs of different patterns are arranged in series on a coverslip with each optical element designed to diffact and focus incident light at a particular plane within the device. Coupled with other optical components of the system, 3D woodpile scaffolds were printed in an effective and efficient one-step light exposure process to photo cross-link the polymer solution upon demand. The combination of photo cross-linking and diffractive optical technique incorporated within our system enables the patterning of polymer solutions within seconds, making large-scale fast production not only feasible, but also making printing of complex features simple. With this system, 3D two-layered woodpile structures were successfully fabricated within 3 seconds. While cell toxicity studies showed that the scaffold can be used for tissue engineering.
