Variables for reporting studies on extended - focused assessment with sonography for trauma (E-FAST): An international delphi consensus study
No full textBackground
The Extended Focused Assessment with Sonography for Trauma (E-FAST) is a diagnostic ultrasound technique used in hospital and pre-hospital settings for patients with torso trauma. While E-FAST is common in emergency departments, its pre-hospital use is less routine. This study aims to establish a set of variables for designing studies on pre-hospital E-FAST through a Delphi consensus process involving international experts.
Methods
A Delphi consensus process was utilized, involving four rounds of e-mail to the experts. The experts proposed variables for each category, assessed them using a 5-point Likert scale, and voted on whether they should be included in the final template.
Results
Out of 14 invited experts, 9 participated in the study. In total, the experts proposed 247 variables. After four rounds, a final list of 32 variables was approved by all experts. These variables related to the system, patient, process, training, imaging, outcome, and others.
Conclusions
This Delphi consensus study presents a list of 32 variables for future research studies concerning the use of E-FAST ultrasound in pre-hospital settings. The results of this study are significant as they provide a standardized set of variables that will facilitate the comparison of data obtained from various studies. This will ultimately contribute to the advancement of pre-hospital E-FAST research and practice.No Full Tex

Heterogeneous and tissue-specific regulation of effector T cell responses by IFN-gamma during Plasmodium berghei ANKA infection.
No full textIFN-γ and T cells are both required for the development of experimental cerebral malaria during Plasmodium berghei ANKA infection. Surprisingly, however, the role of IFN-γ in shaping the effector CD4(+) and CD8(+) T cell response during this infection has not been examined in detail. To address this, we have compared the effector T cell responses in wild-type and IFN-γ(-/-) mice during P. berghei ANKA infection. The expansion of splenic CD4(+) and CD8(+) T cells during P. berghei ANKA infection was unaffected by the absence of IFN-γ, but the contraction phase of the T cell response was significantly attenuated. Splenic T cell activation and effector function were essentially normal in IFN-γ(-/-) mice; however, the migration to, and accumulation of, effector CD4(+) and CD8(+) T cells in the lung, liver, and brain was altered in IFN-γ(-/-) mice. Interestingly, activation and accumulation of T cells in various nonlymphoid organs was differently affected by lack of IFN-γ, suggesting that IFN-γ influences T cell effector function to varying levels in different anatomical locations. Importantly, control of splenic T cell numbers during P. berghei ANKA infection depended on active IFN-γ-dependent environmental signals--leading to T cell apoptosis--rather than upon intrinsic alterations in T cell programming. To our knowledge, this is the first study to fully investigate the role of IFN-γ in modulating T cell function during P. berghei ANKA infection and reveals that IFN-γ is required for efficient contraction of the pool of activated T cells
Dispelling the Myths Behind First-author Citation Counts
No full textWe conducted a full-scale evaluative citation analysis study of scholars in the XML research field to explore just how different from each other author rankings resulting from different citation counting methods actually are, and to demonstrate the capability of emerging data and tools on the Web in supporting more realistic citation counting methods. Our results contest some common arguments for the continued
use of first-author citation counts in the evaluation of scholars, such as high correlations between author rankings by first-author citation counts and other citation
counting methods, and high costs of using more realistic citation counting methods that are not well-supported by the ISI databases. It is argued that increasingly available digital full text research papers make it possible for citation analysis studies to go beyond what the ISI databases have directly supported and to employ more
sophisticated methods
Pelevin’s Trinity in the novel “t”: author – protagonist – reader
No full textThe article attempts to interpret Pelevin's artistic strategy in the novel "T" by exploring its subject organization and addressing the key problems of the author, the protagonist, and the reader as they are seen by the researcher. The article analyzes the peculiarities of constructing the narrative reality in the novel "T", and goes on to discuss Pelevin's philosophic models of the development of the humankind, and the emergence of his new anthropology
Measuring industry-science links through inventor-author relations: A profiling method
No full textIn this pilot study we examine the performance of text-based profiling in recovering a set of validated inventor-author links. In a first step we match patents and publications solely based on their similarity in content. Next, we compare inventor and author names on the highest ranked matches for the occurrence of name matches. Finally, we compare these candidate matches with the names listed in a validated set of inventor-author names. Our text-based profile methodology performs significantly better than a random matching of patents and publications, suggesting that text-based profiling is a valuable complementary tool to the name searches used in previous studies.innovation; industry-science links; text-based profiling;
The Nomadic Object. Notes on the Photograph of the Warsaw Ghetto Boy
No full textThe article focuses on the best-know Holocaust photograph, which shows the War saw Ghetto boy. Its amazing popularity has led to numerous misuses, particularly in the sphere of popular culture, and, as a consequence, is often seen as an instance of trivializing the Holocaust. The author locates his discussion in the context of Susan Sontag’s essay On Photography and points to the ethical value of the references to the boy in the paintings of Samuel Bak, which exemplify a new way of thinking about the inaccessible experience of the child.JACEK PARTYKA – dr, pracuje jako adiunkt w Kolegium Literaturoznawstwa na Wydziale Filologicznym Uniwersytetu w Białymstoku, gdzie prowadzi seminaria i kursy z historii literatury amerykańskiej.

From Yelisavetgrad to New York: Historical Contexts of the Autobiographical Narrative of Sara and Nathan Reznikoff
No full textThe article centers on the emigration of Jewish people from Eastern Europe to the United States in the last two decades of the 19th century. The pretext for consideration is Charles Reznikoff’s rarely-read and commented-upon novel Family Chronicle, which outlines, in an interesting if parsimonious manner, the reasons for the mass exodus of Jews and the consequences of their settlement in one of New York’s neighborhoods.JACEK PARTYKA – dr hab., amerykanista, pracuje jako adiunkt w Zakładzie Literatur Ameryki Północnej na Wydziale Filologicznym Uniwersytetu w Białymstoku, gdzie prowadzi seminaria i kursy z historii literatury amerykańskiej.

Wave turbulence of a rotating array of quantized vortices in the T → 0 temperature limit
No full textThe dynamics of quantized vortices in the zero temperature limit is currently of great interest, particularly in the case of the Fermi superfluid He-B. Here we study wave turbulence, generated by the librating motion of a rotating cylindrical container filled with He-B, in the limit of vanishing viscous forces at temperatures . The polarization of the quantized vortices with respect to the axis of rotation is measured using non-invasive NMR techniques. We observe a decrease of the polarization when the librating motion is started, and a two-stage relaxation process when the modulation of the rotation velocity is stopped. The first relaxation process is associated with the dissipation of large-scale flow stored in inertial waves and the solid body rotation of the vortex array. From the decay of these energy reservoirs we determine the rate of energy dissipation of large-scale flow. The later second process is related to the relaxation of Kelvin waves on individual vortices. This process is monitored by the recovery of the polarization. The existence of a Kelvin wave cascade at the lowest temperatures is currently a central open question. We supply some evidence for the cascade
