Representations of Time in Time-Based Media: An Exploration of the Human Experience of Temporality in Film and TV

Time is an aspect of the human experience that fascinates us but eludes our understanding. Humans have turned to science, philosophy, and theology in our endeavor to understand time, but our shared love and history of storytelling drives us to explore temporality through visual medias that have a structural foundation in time. Expanding our understanding of the human experience of time through time-based media such as movies and TV can point us toward comprehending various forms of time and how each person can perceive said time differently. Using film and TV theory, informed by scientific and philosophical explorations in the study of time, I analyzed the narrative and formal elements in five film and TV texts to investigate the ways they use time to explore how humans experience something as complex and ineffable as time. Although time-based medias can only be consumed linearly, each of the texts engages with the concept of time presented nonlinearly through methods such as narrative, editing, and visual design to illustrate multiple possible experiences of time to the audience. These visual media texts, as time-based objects, work to communicate various human experiences and explorations of time through their unique narrative and formal elements, thereby expanding our knowledge of time as a scientific, philosophical, and aesthetic construct and demonstrating the power of time-based media

Vitronectin as a micromanager of cell response in material-driven fibronectin nanonetworks

Surface functionalization strategies of synthetic materials for regenerative medicine applications comprise the development of microenvironments that recapitulate the physical and biochemical cues of physiological extracellular matrices. In this context, material-driven fibronectin (FN) nanonetworks obtained from the adsorption of the protein on poly(ethyl acrylate) provide a robust system to control cell behavior, particularly to enhance differentiation. This study aims at augmenting the complexity of these fibrillar matrices by introducing vitronectin, a lower-molecular-weight multifunctional glycoprotein and main adhesive component of serum. A cooperative effect during co-adsorption of the proteins is observed, as the addition of vitronectin leads to increased fibronectin adsorption, improved fibril formation, and enhanced vitronectin exposure. The mobility of the protein at the material interface increases, and this, in turn, facilitates the reorganization of the adsorbed FN by cells. Furthermore, the interplay between interface mobility and engagement of vitronectin receptors controls the level of cell fusion and the degree of cell differentiation. Ultimately, this work reveals that substrate-induced protein interfaces resulting from the cooperative adsorption of fibronectin and vitronectin fine-tune cell behavior, as vitronectin micromanages the local properties of the microenvironment and consequently short-term cell response to the protein interface and higher order cellular functions such as differentiation

The impact of the underground economy on the economic development of the world states

BOSTAN, Nelea. Impactul economiei subterane asupra dezvoltării economice a statelor lumii = The impact of the underground economy on the economic development of the world states. În: Simpozion Ştiinţific Internaţional al Tinerilor Cercetători (16-17 aprilie 2021) [online]: Lucrări ştiinţifice. Ediţia a 19-a. Chişinău: ASEM, 2021, vol. 3, pp. 69-72. ISBN 978-9975-155-43-4.The underground economy is a reality of life around the world and its emergence coincides with the emergence of the state and the imposition of rules. In 2011, R. Neuwirth estimated that the shadow economy was worth 10 trillion US dollars, employing about 1.8 billion people. In fact, if this economy were a state, it would be the second largest economy in the world, after the United States. ACCA predicts that this type of economy will decline globally by 2025, from 23% of global GDP in 2011 to about 21% in 2025. The average size of the hidden economy in each country today varies from 7.8% of GDP in the US at 67% in Azerbaijan. The underground economy negatively affects the fiscal health of a state. There are various theories that argue that if governments were able to control the manifestations of the hidden economy, many public sector tax problems, such as public debt, for example, could be reduced. Countries with a significant underground economy may face rising poverty, inequality and poor public services in the future. For this reason, the structures that monitor the situation of the underground economy need to exercise their activity as well as possible. JEL: F16, F17, O17

Особенности поражения органов мишеней у детей с эссенциальной артериальной гипертензией

Essential hypertension in children - features of subclinical target organ impairmentOdată ce hipertensiunea arterială (HTA) se confirmă, este necesar de evaluat afectarea subclinică de organ. Hipertrofia ventriculară stângă, îngroșarea și rigidizarea arterelor mari, precum și excreția urinară de albumină se numără printre markerii cei mai valoroși. Scopul studiului: Aprecierea afectării subclinice de organ la copiii cu hipertensiune arterială esențială. Material și metode: Lotul de cercetare la constituit 115 copii hipertensivi, cu vârste cuprinse între 10 şi 18 ani. Lotul de control a fost selectat dintre copiii normotensivi normoponderali, de vârstă similară. Diagnosticul de HTA s-a stabilit în conformitate cu ultimele recomandări ale ghidului european de HTA la copii [Empar Lurbea et. al., 2016]. Pentru diagnosticul la etape preclinice a afectării subclinice de organ s-a apreciat microalbuminuria, complexul intimei medii a arterei carotide și s-a calculat indicele masei miocardului ventriculului stâng. Modificările morfologice ale peretelui arterial, îngroșarea complexului intimă-medie au fost identificate prin ultrasunete de înaltă rezoluție. S-au efectuat câte 5 determinări pentru fiecare perete arterial, atât pentru artera carotidă comună dreaptă cât şi pentru cea stângă şi s-a operat cu valoarea medie a măsurătorilor efectuate [Empar Lurbea et. al., 2016]. Indicele masei miocardului ventriculului stâng (IMMVS) s-a calculat din raportul: masa ventriculului stâng (MVS)/ (h) înălțimea (m)2.7, iar valoarea obținută s-a comparat cu tabelele percentilice. Hipertrofia ventriculară stângă s-a stabilit în cazul în care valorile IMMVS raportat la înălțime2,7 a fost ≥95th în funcție de sex şi vârstă [Empar Lurbea et. al., 2016]. Microalbuminuria s-a apreciat prin metoda imunofermentativă. Rezultate: Copiii hipertensivi obezi au prezentat valori mai înalte ale IMMVS față de copii hipertensivi normoponderali (10,08±0,894 vs 9,92±1,00; p<0,01). Îngroșarea cIMT, s-a evidențiat cu predilecție la copiii hipertensivi obezi (0,39±0,27) și hipertensivi supraponderali (0,10±0,027) vs copiii hipertensivi normoponderali (0,06±0,011). Valorile cIMT, s-au corelat pozitiv semnificativ statistic cu TNF ά (r=+0,20, p<0,05), GRPPVS (r=+0,45, p<0,01) şi negativ cu adiponectina serică (r=-0,28, p<0,01). Valori mai înalte ale microalbuminuriei, în raport cu lotul martor, deşi nesemnificativ statistic, s-au constatat la copiii hipertensivi obezi (17,95±2,72 vs 16,23±2,17) şi copiii hipertensivi normoponderali (17,32±2,057 vs 16,23±2,167). Concluzii: Determinarea microalbuminuriei, cIMT și calcularea IMMVS vor completa şi subtiliza diagnosticul oportun (la etape preclinice) al afectării subclinice de organ la copiii hipertensivi.Особенности поражения органов мишеней у детей с эссенциальной артериальной гипертензие

Microalbuminuria în hipertensiunea arterial primară la copii

Microalbuminuria prezintă un marker independent de prognostic nefavorabil pentru copii cu hipertensiune arterială primară. Spre deosebire de literatura de specialitate la adulţi, există un număr mic de studii clinice, care analizează riscurile cardiovasculare pe termen lung la copiii cu hipertensiune arterială primară şi microalbuminurie. Totodată alegerea unui tratament antihipertensiv este extrem de important prin efectul nefroprotector al medicamentului și ca urmare îmbunătățirea evoluţiei bolii la această categorie de copii
