This paper entitled Psychosomatic Impediments: A Study of Lucy Christopher’s novel Stolen tries to venture the psychological problems of an individual result from the emotional problems of early childhood. It also traces how the fragmented childhood of an individual becomes a root cause for the psychological problems in adulthood. Through the character Ty in the novel Stolen, the problems of fragmented childhood is clearly analyzed in this paper.

With the introduction of HTTP/3, whose transport is no longer the traditional TCP protocol but the novel QUIC protocol, research for solutions to the unfairness of Adaptive Streaming over HTTP (HAS) has become more challenging. In other words, because of different transport layers, the HTTP/3 may not be available for some networks and the clients have to use HTTP/2 for their HAS applications instead. Therefore, the scenario in which HAS over HTTP/3 (HAS/3) competes against HTTP/2 (HAS/2) must be considered seriously. However, there has been a shortage of investigations on the performance and the origin of the unfairness in such a cross-protocol scenario in order to produce proper solutions. Therefore, this paper provides a performance evaluation and root-cause analysis of the cross-protocol unfairness between HAS/3 and HAS/2. It is concluded that, due to differences in the congestion control mechanisms of QUIC and TCP, HAS/3 clients obtain larger congestion windows, thus requesting higher video bitrates than HAS/2. As the problem lies in the transport layer, existing client-side ABR-based solutions for the unfairness from the application layer may perform suboptimally for the cross-protocol case.

In ōta yōko's (1903?–63) novel Han-ningen (Half-Human, 1954) the heroine, named Oda Atsuko, is like author Ōta herself a famous A-bomb writer suffering from severe depression. She enters the hospital in an attempt to cure an addiction to tranquilizers whose intemperate use derives from very real, but to the medical profession opaque, neuroses ultimately due to the trauma of Hiroshima. No treatment proves totally effective. Medicine can only hope to counter illness, not history, and Oda's deepest torments remain chronic. She continues to be plagued by a frustration linked in the novel's fifth chapter with the choices she has faced in the seven years since the end of the Second World War: suicide, flight, or the writing of a “good work of literature.” Throughout the novel Oda dismisses suicide as not in her nature; Ota, in her essay “Ikinokori no shinri” (The psychology of survival, 1952), concludes that no Japanese writer can abandon Japan, and her heroine here concurs. Of Oda's three alternatives all that is left is the writing of a good work, but that too seems elusive. What constitutes “good” is unclear. Just how she might recognize such a work (ii sakuhin to wa nanimono ka) is a literary problem inextricably bound with Oda's physical and psychological problems, and all have arisen from her presence at Hiroshima's destruction on August 6, 1945.

Educators in school programs are challenged to help children with severe emotional problems learn to use language to express their thoughts and feelings and describe and process their emotional conflicts. For a variety of reasons, such children usually have not acquired skills in this realm through normal developmental processes. They require deliberate instruction, training, and practice by all members of collaborative teams of professionals that include skilled speech-language pathologists, special education teachers, and counselors, among others. This article reviews aspects of normal affective development and the accompanying language of feelings, explains how children with behavioral and emotional problems diverge from normal patterns, and describes relevant intervention programs for early childhood and the primary and intermediate grades.

Abstract Introduction/Objective Onychomycosis is one of the most common nail infection disorders, caused predominantly by T. rubrum. Currently, PAS stain is the gold standard for histological onychomycosis detection. However, it does not differentiate between the types of fungi. In addition, PAS stains will only provide a positive or negative result. This leaves physicians to prescribe medications that may be ineffective in treating the root cause of the infection. By discerning the causative specie, physicians can provide a more targeted and effective anti-fungal therapy. A novel monoclonal antibody can be utilized to improve histological findings of T. rubrum. Our study takes a step forward to bring the monoclonal antibody into histological application. We have developed a new monoclonal antibody stain which binds to T. rubrum in vitro. For our project, we will perform in vivo staining on clinical nail samples using the novel monoclonal antibody. Developing a new applicable technique will benefit patients with onychomycosis as well as promote research in targeted identification of other infectious pathologies. Methods/Case Report Data from Bach Dx’s collaboration demonstrate isolation and validation of mice monoclonal antibody candidates for T. rubrum. Isotype IgG1/kappa 17B6 had the highest binding pair signal to the analyte. Direct ELISA of 17B6.1E3 shows immunoreactivity to T. rubrum. HRP and AP conjugates to 17B6 mice monoclonal antibody are produced (Rockland Immunochemicals Inc. Gilbertsville, PA). Histology slides analyzed for routine onychomycosis analysis at Bach Diagnostics are subject to secondary analysis. 220 retrospective, unstained nail slides from 55 patients will be stained using the 17B6 stains. 40 patients were known to have tested for onychomycosis caused by T. rubrum, 5 by Candida albicans, 5 by T. interdigitale, and 5 tested negative. All samples were confirmed by histology and molecular tests. H&E, PAS, and naked antibody stains will serve as controls. HRP and AP conjugated 17B6 monoclonal antibody stains will be optimized to Quantum Hdx (StatLab Lodi, CA) on July 12th, 2021 when the stains are scheduled to arrive. Images will be captured by light microscopy, and analyzed quantitatively and qualitatively. Results (if a Case Study enter NA) We hope to show preferential staining of antibody stains to positive T. rubrum cases by end of July 2021. Conclusion Conclusion pending based on results.
