Deuterium Labeling and Mechanistic Insights in the Polymerization of Propylene Promoted by Benzamidinate Complexes

Victoria Volkis,Sinai Aharonovich,Moris S. Eisen 한국고분자학회 2010 Macromolecular Research Vol.18 No.10

A new epimerization mechanism was introduced for the polymerization of propylene obtained by octahedral benzamidinate complexes. Deuterium labeling showed that deuterium is transferred from a methyne to a methylene position in the polymer inducing a stereoerror and an elastic material. In addition, two active species are formed during the polymerization of propylene promoted by the octahedral bis(benzamidinate) titanium dialkyl complexes.

Collagen and gelatin isolated from the integumentary tissues of cod are almost identical in ash content, molecular weight, but significantly differ in dynamic viscosity. The chemical properties of proteins are studied by the example of catalytic processes: enzymatic hydrolysis and its functional properties in hybrid hydrogel scaffolds in a composition with fibrinogen (Fn), as well as photocatalytic synthesis and the properties of their graft copolymers with polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA). Proteolysis of proteins in an aqueous solution leads to the destruction of peptides mainly with Mn~10%. Unlike collagen, in the case of gelatin, part of the initial highmolecular macromolecules is not destroyed. In hybrid hydrogel scaffolds in the composition with fibrinogen, cod collagen (CC) is more promising, showing less cytotoxicity in comparison with gelatin. Photocatalytic grafting of methyl methacrylate (MMA) on cod collagen and gelatin (CG) (~13-15%) with the formation of a graft copolymer PMMA-CG is more effective with collagen. Visualization of the microstructure of a freeze-dried graft copolymer is typical for scaffolds.

아인슈타인이 정의한 광기의 개념은 계속해서 같게 행동하면서 다른 결과를 기대하는 것이다. 그러나 어떤 영화는 우리가 계속해서 보지만, 다른 결과를 나오게 하는 경우가 있다. 본 논문에서는 반복적으로 행동하는 남성에 대한 논의를 진행하고 있다. 「반복에 대하여: 〈현기증 Vertigo〉, 〈지난 해 마리앙바드에서 Last Year At Marienbad〉, 〈2046〉에서 나타난 영겁 회귀의 시학」에서 우리는 같은 감독의 다른 영화가 서로 연결되어 있음을 확인하고, 히치콕, 알랭 레네, 왕가위 감독의 영화에서 공통적인 스타일을 내러티브 등에서 찾아볼 생각이다. 우리는 니체의 철학적 개념인 영겁 회귀를 통해서 이들 작품에 나타난 반복, 인용, 이미지에 대해 비교하고 있다. 『즐거운 지식』과 『짜라투스트라는 이렇게 말했다』에서 잘 언급되어 있듯이, 니체의 영겁 회귀 개념은 기독교적 일시성과 매우 대조적이라고 할 수 있다. 이러한 역사적 배경에서, 이러한 니체의 개념은 반복의 공포와 유혹 사이에 존재한다. 예를 들면, 이들 영화에서 언급된 등장인물인 스코티, X, 초우 등은 반복적으로 트라우적인 경험을 반복하게 된다. 〈현기증〉, 〈지난 해 마리앙바드에서〉, 〈2046〉의 내러티브는 과거, 현재, 그리고 미래가 하나의 고리로 연결된다. 이러한 내러티브뿐만 아니라 촬영, 사운드도 반복과 변형 속에 이루어져있다. 이 논문에서 이러한 회기의 패턴은 결국 영겁 회귀를 강화하게 되고, 관객에게 다른 영화에서도 반복을 쉽게 이해하는데 돕고 있다. Doing the same thing over and over again yet expecting different results was Einstein’s definition of madness. But there are films that affect us in a completely different way every time we watch them, and those discussed here, ironically, depict men who are doomed to repeat themselves. In the article “On Repeat: The Poetics of Eternal Recurrence in Vertigo, Last Year at Marienbad and 2046” we dwell on numerous links that connect these films to other works by the same director (Alfred Hitchcock, Alain Resnais and Wong Kar-wai) and to each other – from obsessive reconstruction of the past at the core of each story to the music score reminiscent of opera – and make a special emphasis on their most striking common feature, circularity on the narrative and visual levels. We subsequently compare this recurrence, established by means of repetition, quotation and imagery, to Nietzsche’s philosophy of eternal return. Best described in The Gay Science and Thus Spoke Zarathustra, Nietzsche’s concept of eternal return opposes Christian linear temporality to the millennia-old notion of cyclical time. Proposing that history repeats itself, Nietzsche oscillates between the fear and the lure of repetition, just like the characters Scottie, X and Chow, who seem to be unwittingly acting out traumatic experiences over and over again. Instead of following a linear development, the plots of Vertigo, Last Year at Marienbad and 2046 form a circuit where past conditions the present and future. Though not only their narratives, but also cinematography and soundtrack are ruled by repetition and variation. We argue that recurring patterns, although they may not be registered consciously upon the first viewing, ultimately reinforce the idea of eternal recurrence and prompt the audiences to engage ever more closely with these films over successive viewings.

Roles of Teacher Feedback in Promoting Effective English-Medium Instruction of a Business Subject

Victoria Kim,Jeongyeon Kim 아시아영어교육학회 2020 The Journal of Asia TEFL Vol.17 No.3

Despite the recent expansion of English-medium instruction (EMI) in a non-English speaking educational context, few studies have investigated teaching methodology for EMI. Using a mixed method, this study examines the effects of teacher feedback on college students’ their perspectives of learning a business subject through EMI. The quantitative part of the study investigated questionnaire responses of two groups of students enrolled in a course on entrepreneurship: the control group of the lecture-style class offering little teacher feedback (n = 158) versus the experimental group featuring extensive feedback (n = 153). For the cross-examination of these quantitative results, a semistructured interview with four respondents followed. The analysis showed that the students’ disciplinary backgrounds (general studies, business, and engineering) create differences in their perspectives of EMI and learning the business subject. Among the three major groups, the business major students ranked English proficiency as the most important for their career purposes. The feedback-concentrated instruction contributed not only to learning the subject, but it also moderated the differences between the disciplines. Notably, the participants’ comprehension of the subject significantly correlated with their evaluation of EMI. These findings highlight the crucial effect of teacher feedback on acquiring discipline-specific knowledge and cultivating new perspectives of EMI.

70 Years after WW2: The Dynamics of the Northeast Asian Security Environment : Russia in Northeast Asia: Changing Role for the Region

( Victoria V. Panova ) 한국국방연구원 2015 The Korean Journal of Defense Analysis Vol.27 No.2

Russia continues struggling with its identity, leaning either toward being a European or an Asian country, or representing the link between the two regions. Recently there has been a Russian “pivot” to Asia, but, as opposed to U.S. rebalancing in this region, Russia does not intend to assume a leadership role and streamline the ongoing political and economic process in accordance with the superpower’s interests. Rather, Russia shows intent to try to fit in more actively in the existing Asia-Pacific order and engage on an equal basis with other members of the region. While this process started earlier, charted by Primakov’s “strategic triangle” idea and multi-vector diplomacy, recent confrontation with the West significantly sped up the process. This article intends to review the evolution of Russia’s conceptual understanding of Asia and its own place and role in the Asia-Pacific region. Further on, the author attempts to take a brief look at major developments happening in the region, review its conflict potential and define the role of its main players. While those factors are reviewed, there is no intention to attempt a comprehensive description of the situation in the Asia- Pacific, but rather to offer an account of existing opportunities and challenges through Russia’s interests and views.

Results of an evaluation of augmented reality mobile development frameworks for addresses in augmented reality

Victoria Rautenbach,Serena Coetzee,Danie Jooste 대한공간정보학회 2016 Spatial Information Research Vol.24 No.3

Addresses displayed on dwellings and buildings play a key role in society. Amongst others, they are used for deliveries, in household surveys, to navigate, or to find friends. Sometimes, address signs are destroyed, displaced or illegible, for example, as a result of vandalism, disasters, or poor maintenance. In augmented reality, computer-gen- erated information is superimposed onto a live view of the real world.When address signs are not available, displaying the address in augmented reality could be immensely useful. The research presented in this article is part of a larger research endeavour to investigate augmented reality for addressing. This article presents the results of an evaluation of augmented reality mobile development frameworks for the implementation of a mobile application that displays addresses in augmented reality. Firstly, the requirements for addresses in augmented reality were identified. Three use cases informed these requirements: disaster relief, e.g. address signs are destroyed by an earthquake; household surveys, e.g. locating dwellings in informal settlements or rural areas where addresses are not assigned in any specific sequence and signs do not exist; and address data quality management, e.g. validating digital address data against addresses displayed in the physical world. Due to procurement challenges in the use cases, open source licensing and integration with open source products was identified as an important requirement. The internet was searched and a list of augmented reality mobile develop- ment frameworks was compiled. Based on the requirements, the list was shortened to seven frameworks, which were evaluated against a set of criteria informed by the require- ments. The evaluation results can guide developers in choosing a framework best suitable for their specific needs and/or for integration with open source products.

Ribociclib-Related Stevens–Johnson Syndrome: Oncologic Awareness, Case Report, and Literature Review

Victoria López-Gómez,Ramón Yarza,Héctor Muñoz-González,Enrique Revilla,Santos Enrech,Olga González-Valle,Pablo Tolosa,Eva Ciruelos 한국유방암학회 2019 Journal of breast cancer Vol.22 No.4

Stevens-Johnson syndrome (SJS) and toxic epidermal necrolysis belong to a severe dermatopathic spectrum that includes frequently fatal mucocutaneous manifestations consisting of whole epidermal necrosis and sloughing with bullous transformation, blistering, and further skin detachment. Notably, cancer patients are at higher risk of developing SJS than the general population as a consequence of both the nature of neoplastic disease and frequent exposure to anticancer drugs. Ribociclib is a newly approved cycline-dependent kinase inhibitor that has been recently associated with a single case of SJS. We hereby present a case of ribociclib-related SJS. Early detection of threatening skin lesions is crucial to permit the immediate discontinuation of ribociclib given the predictable and unacceptable risk level. In cases of established SJS, early aggressive support should be initiated, ribociclib should be abruptly discontinued, and specific treatment based on actual evidence should be started.

Technology-Enhanced Feedback in the EMI Classroom

( Victoria Kim ) 현대영미어문학회 2017 현대영미어문학회 추계학술대회 발표논문집 Vol.2017 No.-

In recent years, assurance of learning, assessment, and feedback have been regularly highlighted by the accrediting bodies for the business schools with a global perspective as critical aspects that require continuous improvement in higher education. The internationally-accredited schools have better faculty, better students, better programs, more international students, and graduates that have better jobs and receive better salaries. Striving to join that elite group, business schools continue to refine their curriculum and enhance teaching effectiveness, by employing diverse novel pedagogical approaches. One of the innovative approaches to delivering feedback in the EFL context is the individualized audio-visual feedback using screencast technology. The purpose of this paper is threefold: (a) to report the preliminary results of an investigation into what particularly beneficial affordances this type of feedback might offer for writers in the English-Mediated Instruction (EMI) classroom, (b) to compare learners’ academic motivation in terms of gender and nationality, and (c) to explore how learners’ motivation relates to their writing performance.

Performance of the cobas u 701 Analyzer in Urinary Tract Infection Screening

Victoria Ortiz de la Tabla,,Gregoria Gázquez,Ana Infante,Coral Martin,Fernando Buñuel,Félix Gutiérrez 대한진단검사의학회 2019 Annals of Laboratory Medicine Vol.39 No.5

Background: Negative urine cultures to rule out urinary tract infections (UTI) generate a considerable laboratory workload; thus, a rapid screening test is desirable. We evaluated the performance of a new automated microscopy analyzer, cobas u 701 (Roche Diagnostics International, Rotkreuz, Switzerland) for the screening of UTI, and developed a rule-out strategy to reduce the number of samples requiring culture. We also assessed squamous epithelial cell (SEC) count as a predictor of culture contamination. Methods: In total, 1,604 urine samples from outpatients were analyzed with cobas u 701 and culture. Bacterial (BAC) and white blood cell (WBC) counts were used for sample interpretation. To determine a useful cut-off point to predict negative cultures, we selected the highest sensitivity and specificity values obtained from ROC curves. Diagnostic accuracy by age and gender was evaluated. Results: Urine culture showed growth of ≥104 colony forming units (CFU)/mL in 256 samples (16.0%). The highest sensitivity (91.8%) and specificity (68.4%) were obtained for cut-off points of 119 BAC/μL and 22 WBC/μL. The combination of BAC and WBC improved the performance of the rule-out strategy with a low rate of false-negative results (1.5%) and a high negative predictive value (NPV, 97.3%). Fifty-seven percent of the samples would not have required culture. SEC count was a poor predictor of culture contamination. Conclusions: cobas u 701 can substantially reduce the number of urine samples requiring culture, with a low false-negative rate and a high NPV.
