No full textM.Phil.Male homoerotic sensibilities have been playing a role in human society for a long time and started to emerge as a research topic among scholars in the 70s. Over the past few decades, Chinese ancient male homoerotic sensibilities began to reveal as the research proceeds further, in which “feminization” of the penetrated male is a broadly recognized important feature among scholars.This thesis aims to discuss and analyse the phenomenon of “feminization” in scholar perspective, and find out the relationship between “male homoerotic sensibilities/erotic” and “gender”. Fictions and Chinese opera scripts from the late Ming Dynasty have been studied, focusing on “Longyang Yishi”, “Y ichun Xiangzhi”, “Bian er Chai”, “Shidiantou Panwenzi Qihe Yuanyangzhong” and “Nan Wanghou.” By analyzing the way how gender is portrayed in the writings, and integrating gender perspective of the time, this thesis will share an interpretation of the role of gender in male homoerotic sensibilities, and shed a light on power relationship in male same sex desire.男風是自古已有的社會現象，於70年代開始進入研究者的視野。數十年來，隨著學者的深入討論，中國古代男風面貌日益清晰。當中，被動角色的「女化」成為學界公認的男風特點。本文以回應及再思有關「女化」現象的學術觀點為研究開端挖掘「男風／色」與「性別」之關係。筆者整合晚明時期的男風小說及戲曲文本，選取《龍陽逸史》、《宜春香質》、《弁而釵》、《石點頭．潘文子契合鴛鴦塚》及《男王后》為主要研究對象，希望通過分析作品中的性別書寫，結合當代的性別研究理論，闡釋性別在男風中扮演的角色及梳理當中的權力關係。本文提出以「去權化」的概念代替「女化」，強調被動角色的性別身份處於不穩定狀態，不斷在「男」和「女」中游離。而面對性別失秩帶來的衝擊，不同作者的處理各異，筆者透過分析被動角色的結局和女性角色的作用，指出作者通過文學處理重塑權力秩序。葉雅詩."2020年1月".Thesis M.Phil.

Diagnosis. Meristic and morphometric data are shown in Tables 3 and 4. Garra salweenica can be easily distinguishted from its congeners without a proboscis in the Irrawaddy River and Salween River basins by having a well-developed transverse lobe and proboscis. It can be further distinguished from congeners with a transverse lobe and proboscis in the Irrawaddy River and Salween River basins by the combination of the following characters: the tri-lobed proboscis (vs. a unilobed proboscis in G. elongata, G. gotyla, G. gravelyi, G. litanensis, G. qiaojiensis, and G. rotundinasus; the bi-lobed proboscis in G. bispinosa); the tip of the upper caudal-fin lobe with a black blotch (vs. without a blotch in G. fuliginosa, G. qiaojiensis, G. rotundinasus, and G. surgifrons; a black, longitudinal mark on median rays in G. elongata); the proboscis slightly triangular in shape from the dorsal view, the middle lobe obviously projects forwardly (vs. proboscis quadrate in shape from the dorsal view, and middle lobe slightly protruding forward in G. surgifrons), the transverse lobe and the proboscis with larger and denser tubercles (vs. the transverse lobe and the front area of the proboscis with smaller and fewer tubercles in G. surgifrons); dorsal profile of body obviously curved (vs. profile almost straight in G. surgifrons); 32–34 lateral scales (vs. 39–40 in G. elongata; 34–35 in G. qiaojiensis; 35–37 in G. rotundinasus); 16 circumpeduncular scales (vs. 12 in G. qiaojiensis, G. litanensis, and G. rotundinasus). Distribution. Garra salweenica is only known from streams in the southern Shan States, Myanmar and Nujiang in Yunnan, China, all belonging to Salween River basin.Published as part of Sun, Chao, Li, Xu, Zhou, Wei & Li, Fenglian, 2018, A review of Garra (Teleostei: Cypriniformes) from two rivers in West Yunnan, China with description of a new species, pp. 49-70 in Zootaxa 4378 (1) on pages 61-62, DOI: 10.11646/zootaxa.4378.1.3, http://zenodo.org/record/116808

Patients from MDA5+/CCP- served as the control. Propensity score matching was used to compare the clinical features, as well as the treatment and survival outcomes between the two groups.Results: A total of 18 patients (6.8%) with MDA5+/CCP+ DM were identified. Gottron’s sign in 17 cases (94.4%), Heliotrope rash in 14 cases (77.8%), and skin ulcer in 5 cases (27.8%). Arthritis occurred in 10 cases (55.6%) and presented as the initial symptom in 6 cases (33.3%). Only 8 (44.4%) of the patients met the criteria for rheumatoid arthritis (RA). Interstitial lung disease (ILD) was diagnosed in 17 cases (94.4%), with non-specific interstitial pneumonia (NSIP) and organizing pneumonia (OP) combined with NSIP being the most predominant, as they presented in 6 cases (33.3%) each. Two of the ILD cases (11.1%) developed into rapidly progressive ILD (RP-ILD). Arthritis (55.6% vs 15.3%, p = 0.001) and malignancy (22.2% vs 0%, p < 0.001) were significantly more common in the MDA5+/CCP+ group compared to the MDA5+/CCP- group. The clinical manifestations of MDA5+/CCP+ DM with or without anti-Ro-52 antibody were not significantly different from those of the ILD type. During the follow-up period, there was no significant difference in survival between the two groups.Conclusion: More than half of the patients with MDA5+/CCP+ DM may present with arthritis as one of the initial symptoms. They may also have an increased risk of malignancy. For MDA5+ DM patients with positive anti-CCP antibodies, thorough screening for tumors is crucial to guide treatment and improve prognosis.Keywords: dermatomyositis, anti-MDA5 antibody, anti-CCP antibody, rheumatoid arthritis, interstitial lung diseas

No full textThis paper focuses on the use of AI in various MEMS (Micro-Electro-Mechanical System) biosensor types. Al increases the potential of Micro-Electro-Mechanical System biosensors and opens up new opportunities for automation, consumer electronics, industrial manufacturing, defense, medical equipment, etc. Micro-Electro-Mechanical System microcantilever biosensors are currently making their way into our daily lives and playing a significant role in the advancement of social technology. Micro-Electro-Mechanical System biosensors with microcantilever structures have a number of benefits over conventional biosensors, including small size, high sensitivity, mass production, simple arraying, integration, etc. These advantages have made them one of the development avenues for high-sensitivity sensors. The next generation of sensors will exhibit an intelligent development trajectory and aid people in interacting with other objects in a variety of scenario applications as a result of the active development of artificial intelligence (AI) and neural networks. As a result, this paper examines the fundamentals of the neural algorithm and goes into great detail on the fundamentals and uses of the principal component analysis approach. A neural algorithm application in Micro-Electro-Mechanical System microcantilever biosensors is anticipated through the associated application of the principal com-ponent analysis approach. Our investigation has more scientific study value, because there are currently no favorable reports on the market regarding the use of AI with Micro-Electro-Mechanical System microcantilever sensors. Focusing on AI and neural networks, this paper introduces Micro-Electro-Mechanical System biosensors using artificial intelligence, which greatly promotes the development of next-generation intelligent sensing systems, and the potential applications and prospects of neural networks in the field of microcantilever biosensors
