Abstract:
ObjectivesExposure to high-molecular-weight polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) may cause cancer in chimney sweeps and creosote-exposed workers, however, knowledge about exposure to low-molecular-weight PAHs in relation to cancer risk is limited. In this study, we aimed to investigate occupational exposure to the low-molecular-weight PAHs phenanthrene and fluorene in relation to different cancer biomarkers.MethodsWe recruited 151 chimney sweeps, 19 creosote-exposed workers and 152 unexposed workers (controls), all men. We measured monohydroxylated metabolites of phenanthrene and fluorene in urine using liquid chromatography coupled to tandem mass spectrometry. We measured, in peripheral blood, the cancer biomarkers telomere length and mitochondrial DNA copy number using quantitative PCR; and DNA methylation of F2RL3 and AHRR using pyrosequencing.ResultsMedian PAH metabolite concentrations were higher among chimney sweeps (up to 3 times) and creosote-exposed workers (up to 353 times), compared with controls (p<0.001; adjusted for age and smoking). ∑OH-fluorene (sum of 2-hydroxyfluorene and 3-hydroxyfluorene) showed inverse associations with percentage DNA methylation of F2RL3 and AHRR in chimney sweeps (B (95% CI)=–2.7 (–3.9 to –1.5) for F2RL3_cg03636183, and –7.1 (–9.6 to –4.7) for AHRR_cg05575921: adjusted for age and smoking), but not in creosote-exposed workers. In addition, ∑OH-fluorene showed a 42% mediation effect on the inverse association between being a chimney sweep and DNA methylation of AHRR CpG2.ConclusionsChimney sweeps and creosote-exposed workers were occupationally exposed to low-molecular-weight PAHs. Increasing fluorene exposure, among chimney sweeps, was associated with lower DNA methylation of F2RL3 and AHRR, markers for increased lung cancer risk. These findings warrant further investigation of fluorene exposure and toxicity.

Abstract:
Abstract Introduction Earlier studies have shown that chimney sweeps have an increased risk for many severe health outcomes. These excessive risks have been related to their exposure to soot with the conclusion that the exposure must be reduced. To contribute to effective measures to reduce chimney sweepers soot exposure, our knowledge about the exposure needs to be extended, which is the overall aim of our project. In this study the difference in airborne exposure to soot has been evaluated between different sweeping techniques and fuels used. Methodology A self-monitoring method was used for collection of exposure data. Exposure to airborne soot was measured as black carbon (BC) with micro-aethalometers (microAeth® model MA200 and AE51, AethLabs USA), recording the BC-levels each minute. Personal repeated measurements were performed for eight consecutive workdays for 20 chimney sweeps (13 men and seven women). Each participant filled out a diary with work tasks performed. The measurements with micro-aethalometer were correlated with the diary notes to evaluate exposure levels for different tasks. The sweeping techniques compared were traditional sweeping and sweeping with rotating rods. The fuels studied were oil, wood and pellets. Results Among the preliminary results a large variation of soot exposure was found between different individuals. Different sweeping techniques and fuel used influenced the exposure, with a lower exposure for rotating rod technique and a higher exposure for pellets. Conclusions With the large variability in soot exposure found between participants, we are positive that it is possible to reduce the exposure among chimney sweeps.

Abstract:
AbstractChimney sweeps have higher incidence and mortality of cardiovascular disease (CVD), likely related to their exposure to polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAH). In order to identify underlying mechanisms of PAH-related CVD, we here investigated whether PAH exposure was associated with levels of putative CVD-related proteins in serum among currently working chimney sweeps. We enrolled 116 chimney sweeps and 125 unexposed controls, all nonsmoking male workers from Sweden. We measured monohydroxylated PAH metabolites in urine by liquid chromatography coupled to tandem mass spectrometry and a panel of 85 proteins in serum using proximity extension assay. Linear regression analysis adjusted for age and body mass index showed that 25 proteins were differentially expressed between chimney sweeps and the controls (p < .05, adjusted for false discovery rate). Of the 25 proteins, follistatin (FS), prointerleukin-16 (IL-16), and heat shock protein beta-1 (HSP 27) showed positive associations with the monohydroxylated metabolites of PAH in a dose-response manner (p < .05). Pathway and gene ontology analyses demonstrated that the differentially expressed proteins were mainly involved in inflammatory response and immunological functions, such as leukocyte migration, cell movement of leukocytes, and adhesion of immune cells. In conclusion, we found a number of putative CVD-related proteins differentially expressed, between PAH-exposed and unexposed individuals, and mainly involved in inflammation and immune function. Our data warrant protective measures to reduce PAH exposure and longitudinal investigations of the protein profile in chimney sweeps and other occupational groups exposed to PAH.

Abstract:
Este trabalho pretende analisar algumas das transformações sociais ocorridas na Inglaterra nas últimas décadas do século XVIII a partir do poema London e dos poemas homônimos The Chimney Sweeper presentes na obra Songs of Innocence and of Experience do poeta e gravador William Blake, autor inserido no movimento romântico inglês. Sua obra foi marcada, como um todo, pelo pensamento místico culminando na criação de uma cosmogonia capaz de explicar, segundo o autor, a condição humana. No pensamento Blakeano personagens e situações fictícias muitas vezes referenciam e se misturam à nomes e situações reais, sendo um indicativo de que a condição humana que tenta demonstrar seria a da sociedade inglesa na transição entre os séculos XVIII e XIX: que integrava o processo de industrialização, o crescente deslocamento da razão como centro do pensamento e ouvia os ecos da revolução francesa. Songs of Innocence and of Experience contém os fundamentos do pensamento desenvolvido ao longo das obras posteriores de William Blake, expressa as transformações sociais por ele vivenciadas num universo onde política, religião e arte se entrelaçam na construção de uma interpretação peculiar da formação da sociedade industrial moderna.
This work intends to analyse some of the social transformations happened in England over the decades in the eighteenth century as from the London poem and also homonym poems The Chimney Sweeper shown on the work Songs of Innocence and of Experience from the poet William Blake who took part in the English romantic movement. His work was mark marked as a hole by the mistic thought ended in the creation of a cosmogony arle to explain according to the actor the human condition. To the Blake's thought characters and fictitions situations many times they are referred and names and real situations are mixed up being indicates that a human condition that is shown would be an English society during the eighteenth and nineteenth senturies at which the industrialization process took part the increasing displacement of the reason as center of thought and would hear the echo of the French revolution. Songs of Innocence and of Experience contains the grounds of the developed through out the forwards works from William Blake concerning the social transformation experienced by him in a universe where politics, religion, and arts interwine in a construction of the peculiar interpretation of the formation of the modern industrial society.

Abstract:
New Perspectives on Paul and Marx: William Blake<'>s <&hyphen>œThe Chimney Sweeper<&hyphen> in Songs of Innocence and ExperienceLianna Jean Rose ManibogDepartment of English, BYUMaster of Arts This article explores the function of religion in socio-political spheres. Karl Marx is famously against religion in all its various capacities, arguing that it is a tool used by power structures to control the masses. William Blake, the British poet, is also seen as critical of religion, and because of this his works are often read through a Marxist lens. And yet depictions of Blake as a staunchly anti-religious man don<'>t seem to fit with what we know of him and his works. This article reexamines key texts that deal with the question of how faith and society intersect, particularly reading the works of the Apostle Paul through a Jewish understanding. In doing so, we gain a new understanding of religion as a balancing weight that combats the dangers of the oppressive governments that Marx staunchly opposed.

Abstract:
Over the past decade, a rapidly expanding body of scientific evidence has been put forth documenting differences in health status among U.S. racial and ethnic groups. Evidence has also mounted suggesting that these differences may be related to both medical and nonmedical determinants. Internationally, however, neither the evidence nor the realization of a link between nonmedical sociobehavioral factors and health outcomes is new. The earliest reported observation of a hypothesized association between socioenvironmental risk factors and health outcomes occurred in Italy over three centuries ago when Bernardino Ramazzini detailed an unusually high frequency of breast cancer in Catholic nuns (Wilson, Jones, Coussens, & Hanna, 2002). Not long thereafter, in 1775, British surgeon Sir Percival Pott reported a cluster of scrotal cancer cases among British chimney sweeps (Wilson et al., 2002).

Abstract:
Due to the combination of the forward speed and the prevailing wind for surface ship traveling in the ocean, the airflow passing over the ship’s superstructure causes the formation of a disturbed flow region and the large speed gradients of the mean wind over the flight deck, known as the ship airwake. This airwake would cause significant influence on the performance of the helicopter rotor during its taking off or landing, increase the operation workload of the pilot and even cause safe-landing issues, especially when the wind sweeps over the deck. This paper presents a numerical simulation of flow across the ship superstructure using DES and LES turbulent model. The ship model used for simulation is the standard SF2 surface ship model with experimental measurement data which could be used for the CFD code validation. The simulation results are compared with the experimental measurement data, and the comparison with experimental results shows good match for both DES and LES turbulent models. Simulation results show that a series of vortex had been generated after the flow separation with asymmetric characteristics. From upstream to downstream, the vortex intensity decreases, but suddenly increases after encountering the chimney. The comparison between DES and LES turbulent models shows the similar flow field and vortex structure around the ship superstructure with same grid sets. Both DES and LES are superior to RANS in solving ship airwake. The comparisons of DES and LES turbulent models show that DES can reflect the separated flow with limited computational resource and LES simulation could get higher resolution of the fluid flow structure with enough computational resources.

Abstract:
Abstract The Cheleken contract Area lies in the Turkmenistan sector of the South Caspian Sea, over an area of 920 Km2 and in water depth of 10 to 40 m. Located in a complex wrench faulted system orientated WNW-ESE from the Apsheron Peninsula in Azerbaijan to the Cheleken Peninsula in Turkmenistan, the cheleken fields have a large thickness of stack sand and shale reservoirs, with significant areal and vertical variation. The presence of strike slip faults, gas Chimney, H2S in some reservoir fluid, and low sweep efficiency due to the aforementioned geological complexities are challenges that need to be addressed. In 2004, the first seismic acquisition campaign was carried out by Dragon Oil in order to get a full dataset of seismic data covering the whole field, the acquisition technology considered for this dataset was Ocean Bottom Cable (OBC) and it was designed to cover the entire stratigraphic column down to deeper sections (approximately 7000 meters), therefore, deep objectives were not properly imaged due to technical limitations at that time. Seismic resolution was compromised and this OBC technology couldn't account for surface obstructions among other technical and logistic limitations. In 2015, Dragon Oil started with the idea to acquire a new seismic dataset with improved technology to aid in the better definition of sub-surface targets and define a more detailed and reliable structural framework as input for the Static and Dynamic Modeling Process. The ultimate goal of acquiring a new seismic dataset considering OBN Technology, was to define an optimal drilling strategy based on a more robust and reliable static and dynamic modeling of the field. Ocean Bottom Node Seismic has emerged as an effective technology for seismic exploration/development in numerous challenging acquisition environments with the key added value of higher data quality and much better seismic imaging. By placing receivers on the seafloor and decoupling the source from these receivers, the recorded data offers high quality imaging through improved multiple suppression and better subsurface illumination, without limitations existing with conventional streamer operations. Full Azimuth, long offset illumination, high fold are characteristics of Ocean Bottom Node (OBN) acquisition technology and it's proven successfully in extremely complex structural/stratigraphic environments and highly obstructed areas. This technology unfolds a wide range of geophysical options to generate a detailed geomodel of the field and also unlocks additional technical studies and seismic analysis.
