Important Objective

Objective. This study aimed to analyze the differential metabolites and their metabolic pathways from the serum of patients with hepatitis B cirrhosis, with two typical patterns of Gan Dan Shi Re (GDSR) and Gan Shen Yin Xu (GSYX) based on the theory of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM). It also investigated the variation in the internal material basis for the two types of patterns and provided an objective basis for classifying TCM patterns using metabolomic techniques. Methods. The serum samples taken from 111 qualified patients (40 GDSR cases, 41 GSYX cases, and 30 Latent Pattern (LP) cases with no obvious pattern characters) and 60 healthy volunteers were tested to identify the differential substances relevant to hepatitis B cirrhosis and the two typical TCM patterns under the gas chromatography–time-of-flight mass spectrometry platform. The relevant metabolic pathways of differential substances were analyzed using multidimensional statistical analysis. Results. After excluding the influence of LP groups, six common substances were found in GDSR and GSYX patterns, which were mainly involved in the metabolic pathways of glycine, serine, threonine, and phenylalanine. Eight specific metabolites involved in the metabolic pathways of linoleic, glycine, threonine, and serine existed in the two patterns. Conclusions. The data points on the metabolic spectrum were found to be well distributed among the differential substances between the two typical TCM patterns of patients with hepatitis B cirrhosis using metabolomic techniques. The differential expression of these substances between GDSR and GSYX patterns provided an important objective basis for the scientific nature of TCM pattern classification at the metabolic level.

Bibliographic Collection

This article approaches the study of the private library of the Murcian land surveyor Francisco Falcón de los Reyes, from the first half of the eighteenth century, which constitutes a clear example of the relationship between education and written culture. From the data extracted from a postmortem inventory and the subsequent appraisal and partition of goods among the heirs, we carried out a quantitative and qualitative analysis of said library. First, the text provides a biographical profile of this geometer, a descendant of slaves (new Christians), and describes the formative precariousness of these professionals in their time. The quantitative analysis of the bibliographic collection and its comparison with other private collections from similar socioeconomic fields indicate the importance of this particular collection. The qualitative study of authors and titles shows, on one hand, the high degree of mathematical training of the subject, who is shown to be a recipient of the fundamentally Valencian pre-illustrated reformist scientific mainstream, and, on the other hand, the purpose with which those books were incorporated into the funds of the collection. Together with the library, which we could call professional, due to its scientific nature, the inventoried religious matter in the form of printed documents makes up another interesting part of the collection, one of a catechetical nature in its various formative levels

Accidental Discovery

Resumen: El interés que ha suscitado la figura del dios Mitra ha dejado como reflejo estudios que se remontan al periodo romano. Sin embargo, a partir del Renaci­miento el descubrimiento casual de piezas escul­tóricas de asunto mitraico, atrajo el interés de in­vestigadores que indagaron en sus escritos sobre la identidad de la divinidad que aparecía matando un toro. Durante los siglos XVI al XVIII, la temática solar y la identificación del Mitraísmo se convirtió en el contenido de estos estudios. A partir del s. XIX, empieza a tomar forma una investigación de carácter más científico sobre la cuestión mitraica, que encontrará su nacimiento formal con los tra­bajos de F. Cumont a principios del s. XX. Este si­glo pasado ha sido el que ha visto florecer el mayor y más profundo volumen de estudios desentrañan­do los misterios vinculados al dios Mitra, tanto en su vertiente de divinidad de los panteones védicos y avésticos, como en el ámbito del culto mistérico desarrollado en el marco del Imperio Romano. En los comienzos del siglo XXI, todavía permanecen abiertas algunas hipótesis iniciales, pero sí se cons­tata una vitalidad en los estudios para la compren­sión global del Mitraísmo.Palabras clave: Mitra, Mitraísmo, Avesta, Veda, Cumont.Abstract: One mark of the interest attached to the god Mithra is the line of studies dating back to the Ro­man period. It was, however, during the Renais­sance that the accidental discovery of sculptural pieces of a Mithraic subject attracted the interest of researchers, who sought to identify the bull-ki­lling divinity. Between the 16th and 18th centuries, this field of research re-oriented itself to the solar theme and the identification of Mithraism. In the 19th century, it took on a scientific nature, and the landmark the studies of F. Cumont saw the light of day in early 20th century. As the century progres­sed ambitious in-depth studies flourished, unra­velling the mysteries linked to the cult of the god Mithra, both in terms of the divinity of the Vedic and Avestan pantheons and of the sphere of the mystery cult established in the context of the Ro­man Empire. At the beginning of the 21st century, some initial hypotheses remain open, but the vi­tality of studies pursuing a global understanding of Mithraism remains unchallenged.Key words: Mithra, Mithraism, Avesta, Veda, Cumont.

Geomorphology is the science that studies landforms and landforming processes. Topics of research in geomorphology during the 1990s represent the diversity of the discipline, as practiced by both academics and nonacademic applied geographers in government and private positions. Discussions on the role and importance of scientific theory and social relevance in geomorphology have become increasingly common, although agreement has not been forthcoming. Issues of scale, both spatial and temporal, appear at the forefront of many current papers in the discipline, but little consensus has been reached as to what constitutes the appropriate scale for studies in geomorphology. The use of a broad diversity of research tools also characterizes American geomorphology, including fieldwork, computer and/or laboratory modeling, surface exposure dating, historical archival work, remote sensing, global positioning systems, and geographic information systems. Problems arise, however, when attempting to integrate the results of fine-scale fieldwork with coarser-scaled simulation models. The 1990s saw a renewed debate in the role of scientific theory in geomorphology. Prominent in that debate were issues of temporal and spatial scale. Significant discussions, culminating in the 2000 Binghamton Symposium on the integration of computer modeling and fieldwork in geomorphology, were also engendered by perceived clashes between the roles of fieldwork and the “new technology” in geomorphology. The 1990s have seen continuing interest in defining the role of geomorphology as a science. Most geomorphologists have accepted applied geomorphology (in the sense of Sherman 1989) as a logical extension of the environmental linkages of the science. The social relevancy of geomorphological research can be established without sacrificing the intellectual core of the discipline (Sherman 1994). However, questions continue as to what actually constitutes “the scientific nature of geomorphology”. Rhoads and Thorn (1993) raised the question of the role of theory in geomorphology in an essay that ultimately led to the 1996 Binghamton Symposium on the scientific nature of the discipline (Rhoads and Thorn 1996). Their goals in hosting the symposium were to “initiate a broad examination of contemporary perspectives on the scientific nature of geomorphology. This initial exploration of methodological and philosophical diversity within geomorphology is viewed as a necessary first step in the search for common ground among the diverse group of scientists who consider themselves geomorphologists” (ibid. p. x).

This paper examines the duality of dance as both art and science. It argues on the premise that only the manifestations of dance as an art form has been explored whilst its scientific manifestations have been arguably ignored. It avers that duality is seen in the processes involved in dance choreography. In doing this, it maintains that dance as an art often manifests in the intuition and creativity involved during the creation of dances while dance as science manifests itself during the execution of movements. It argues that the traditional practitioners of dance in Nigeria and Africa are generally aware of the scientific nature of dance, which they adhere to unconsciously while creating dances without knowing it has a scientific posturing. The article insists that intelligence displayed in dance choreographies attests to the above claims. The study uses syncretism and Humphrey-Weidman theory of dance composition as theoretical moorings to contend that the Agbaka dance of the Igala people of Kogi State in North Central Nigeria expresses and displays the scientific nature of dance. Consequently, the dance form is examined from the physiological, psychological and biomechanical perspectives, informing the conclusion that dance practitioners in Nigeria should engage in a conscious exploration and admittance of dance as both art and science.

From some compounds used as parameters in air pollution-such as O3, Particulate Materials, CO, NO2, SO2 and Pb-CO is the most common cause of poisoning accidents. Indoor parking area is one sample of potential area for CO pollution. However, according to the scientific nature of CO-tasteless, colorless, and odorless-people exposed to CO are usually not aware that s/he exposed to dangerous levels of CO. This research aimed to make a prototype of an embedded system that can monitor air pollution, give an effective warning and it should be affordable. The prototype of CO air pollution alert system has been successfully built using FPGA Xilinx Spartan 3E as the major component. Sensor Hanwei MQ7 used in this prototype has been tested in a simulation box using cigarette smoke as CO pollutant and the reading result has met the characteristic curve in the datasheet. The system interface has met user satisfaction with MOS value 4.31 from 5 scales. Based on the response time testing, we conclude that FPGA is suitable to be used in a system that performs fast parallel processing based on logical actions from the input given.
