Effect of psychological safety on the interaction of students in teams

CONTEXT Diverse contributions from team members have the potential to improve innovation in engineering student teams, but students must feel psychologically safe to contribute fully. Low psychological safety can decrease cohesion in teams and increase conflict. PURPOSE This study aims to explore trends in the psychological safety of students, teams, course sections and their effect on the interactions of students within the teams. METHODS We used multilevel (hierarchical) modeling to address our research question. The quality of teammate interaction is the outcome variable and is predicted by individual psychological safety in the first level, the team's average psychological safety in the second level, and the course sections' average psychological safety of students in the third level. RESULTS Based on the result, peer evaluations of the interaction each student has with team members (the outcome) can significantly be predicted by the psychological safety of a student and the level of psychological safety in teams. The sections' average psychological safety did not affect our outcome. CONCLUSIONS If we expect students to interact more with peers within the teams, we should make sure that psychological safety is high in both individual and team levels. It is possible that the lack of variability by the course section is a result of studying all the sections of a coordinated course.
Current issues and open questions for future research

Developmental dyscalculia (DD) is a chronic condition that poses not only a barrier to employment and socio-emotional wellbeing but that also persists into adulthood. Thus, understanding the neuro-cognitive foundations of DD is relevant for both children and adults with DD. However, so far the vast majority of scientific research endeavours has been dedicated to the study of DD in children only. Consequently, our current understanding of DD in adulthood is rather patchy. The main aim of the present review is to summarize the scientific findings on DD in adults by focusing on its cognitive manifestations and neural substrates in adults. For instance, research on DD in adulthood suggests that – beyond an outstanding deficiency in number processing – the processing of non-numerical magnitudes and domain-general skills seem to be also impaired in adults suffering from persistent DD. A secondary aim of this review is to delineate future lines of research that will provide us with a more elaborate understanding of the neurocognitive underpinnings of DD in adults (thus fostering the development of sensitive diagnostic marker tasks), and to formulate potential intervention areas targeting deficiencies frequently characterizing DD in adults.
APPROACH TO THE PATIENT Approach to the Growth Hormone-Deficient Child during Transition to Adulthood

The observation that some adults with childhood-onset GH deficiency have low bone mineral density, low lean body mass, diminished quality of life, abnormal lipids, and impaired cardiac function, all of which may improve after treatment with GH, has prompted pediatric endocrinologists to reevaluate the practice of discontinuing GH in all patients after attainment of final adult height. The treatment of adolescents to prevent the metabolic complications of GH deficiency is an emerging practice. Studies addressing the evaluation and care of adolescents during this period and the benefits of GH in this setting are conflicting. Our approach in determining which adolescents to retest, when and how to test for persistent GH deficiency, and which subjects to treat is discussed in the context of available clinical data.

Acquired haemophilia A in the UK: a two year national surveillance study by UK Haemophilia Centre Doctors’ Organisation Short title: Acquired haemophilia in the UK

Acquired haemophilia A is a severe bleeding disorder caused by an autoantibody to factor VIII. Previous reports have focused on referral centre patients and it is unclear whether these findings are generally applicable. To improve understanding of the disease, a two year observational study was established to identify and characterise the presenting features and outcome of all patients with acquired haemophilia A in the UK. This allowed a consecutive cohort of patients, unbiased by referral or reporting practice to be studied. A total of 172 patients with a median age of 78 years were identified, an incidence of 1.48/million/year. The cohort was significantly older than previously reported series, but bleeding manifestations and underlying diseases were similar. Bleeding was the cause of death in 9% of the cohort and remained a risk until the inhibitor had been eradicated. There was no difference in inhibitor eradication or mortality between patients treated with steroids alone and a combination of steroids and cytotoxics. Relapse of the inhibitor was observed in 20% of the patients who had attained first complete remission. The data provide the most complete description of acquired haemophilia A available and are applicable to patients presenting to all centres.
Critical taxonomical notes on poorly known Johrenia porteri Post ex Boiss.

In addition to the incomplete type from Turkey, Johrenia porteri Post ex Boiss. is known from only two herbarium specimens of doubtful systematic position from Turkey-Syria border. The deficiencies in both type and other herbarium samples have been caused uncertainty and debate about the taxonomic position of the species. In this article, Johrenia porteri is epitipified and its taxonomic position has been clarified. The description of the species has been expanded with the studies conducted within the scope of the samples collected in different developmental periods from the type locality as well.
Charni et al. Chemokine RANTES and liver cancer 1 Chemokine RANTES promoter dimorphisms and hepatocellular carcinoma occurrence in patients with alcoholic or HCV-related cirrhosis

Background: This study explores the influence of two functional genetic polymorphisms in the RANTES promoter on the risk of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) occurrence in patients with alcoholic or HCV-related cirrhosis. Methods: RANTES C-28G and G-403A promoter dimorphisms and RANTES serum levels were assessed in 243 HCV-infected patients and 253 alcoholic patients, included at the time of diagnosis of cirrhosis and prospectively followed-up. Results: During a mean follow-up time of 76 months, 137 (27.6%) patients developed HCC and 170 (34.2%) died or were transplanted. During follow-up, patients with alcoholic cirrhosis and bearing two copies of the RANTES G-403 variant (2G-403 genotype, n = 156/253) had a higher rate of HCC occurrence compared to patients carrying at least one RANTES A-403 allele (26.3% vs. 8.2%, P = 0.0004). The RANTES 2G-403 genotype was a risk factor for HCC occurrence (HR = 3.0 [1.3-5.8]; first quartile time to HCC occurrence: 60 vs. 120 months; LogRank = 0.007) and death (HR = 1.4 [1.0-2.0]; median time to death: 55 vs. 79 months; LogRank = 0.01) in this subgroup. Carriage of the RANTES 2G-403 genotype was not associated with HCC development or death in patients with HCV-related cirrhosis. The RANTES C-28G dimorphism did not influence the occurrence of death or HCC in either cohort of patients. Conclusion: This study suggests an influence of the chemokine RANTES G-403A dimorphism on the occurrence of HCC in patients with alcoholic cirrhosis. Impact: Our findings provide clues for future studies on RANTES gene in relation to HCC susceptibility.

Diffusions on a space of interval partitions: Poisson–Dirichlet stationary distributions

We introduce diffusions on a space of interval partitions of the unit interval that are stationary with the Poisson–Dirichlet laws with parameters (α,0) and (α,α). The construction has two steps. The first is a general construction of interval partition processes obtained previously, by decorating the jumps of a Lévy process with independent excursions. Here, we focus on the second step, which requires explicit transition kernels and what we call pseudo-stationarity. This allows us to study processes obtained from the original construction via scaling and time-change. In a sequel paper, we establish connections to diffusions on decreasing sequences introduced by Ethier and Kurtz (1981) and Petrov (2009). The latter diffusions are continuum limits of up-down Markov chains on Chinese restaurant processes. Our construction is also a step towards resolving longstanding conjectures by Feng and Sun on measure-valued Poisson–Dirichlet diffusions, and by Aldous on a continuumtree-valued diffusion.
Addendum to N,N-Dimethyl acetamide

The biological tolerance value (BAT value) for N,N-dimethyl acetamide (DMA) of 30mg N-methyl acetamide/g creatinine in urine evaluated in 2000 corresponds, according to the then accepted BAT concept, to the 95th percentile for the excretion of this metabolite after inhalation of 10ml N,N-dimethyl acetamide/m3 (see BAT Documentation 2001, translated). As the BAT value has been redefined as correlate for the average value from several examinations in a worker, a re-evaluation has become necessary. The previous BAT value was based mainly on the studies by Borm et al. (1987), Kennedy et al. (1989), Knecht (1997), Maxfield et al. (1975) and Spies et al. (1995) (see BAT Documentation 2001, translated). Since no more recent studies on this subject are available these publications are retained as basis for the evaluation.
STUDIES ON THE CAUSES OF BACTERIAL MASTITIES IN TWO DAIRY BOVINE FARMS IN NORTHEASTERN BULGARIA AND THEIR SENSITIVITY TO ANTIMICROBIAL PRODUCTS

The prevalence of clinical and subclinical mastitis in two dairy farms with 500 and 114 cows each was studied. The causative agents have been identified and their antimicrobial susceptibility has been determined. In farm A, 44 cows (8.8%) with mastitis were observed 3 with clinical and 41 with subclinical forms. Pathogenic microflora was isolated from 35 cows (79.5%). Were identified 64 strains: 30 (46.9%) Streptococcus spp. and 34 (53.1%) Staphylococcus spp. All staphylococci and streptococci showed sensitivity to Amoxicillin/Clav. acid. All staphylococci also showed sensitivity to Cephalothin, Gentamicin and Rifampicin. In farm B, 26 cows (22.8%) with mastitis were diagnosed 10 with clinical and 16 with subclinical forms. Pathogenic microflora was isolated from 19 cows (73.1%). Were identified 24 strains: 8 (33.3%) Streptococcus spp. and 16 (66.7%) Staphylococcus spp. All streptococci showed sensitivity to Amoxicillin, Amoxicillin/Clav. acid, Cephalothin, Erythromycin, Gentamicin, Tetracycline, Rifampicin and Enrofloxacin. Susceptibility to Amoxicillin/Clav. acid, Cefoxitin, Cephalothin, Lincomycin, Gentamicin, Tetracycline, Rifampicin and Enrofloxacin was found in all staphylococci.

Integrative Physiology Enhanced Ca -Sensing Receptor Function in Idiopathic Pulmonary Arterial Hypertension

influx and proliferation in IPAH-PASMC and whether blockade of CaSR inhibits experimental pulmonary hypertension. Methods and Results: In normal PASMC superfused with Ca -free solution, addition of 2.2 mmol/L Ca to the perfusate had little effect on [Ca ]cyt. In IPAH-PASMC, however, restoration of extracellular Ca 2 induced a significant increase in [Ca ]cyt. Extracellular application of spermine also markedly raised [Ca 2 ]cyt in IPAH-PASMC but not in normal PASMC. The calcimimetic R568 enhanced, whereas the calcilytic NPS 2143 attenuated, the extracellular Ca -induced [Ca ]cyt rise in IPAH-PASMC. Furthermore, the protein expression level of CaSR in IPAH-PASMC was greater than in normal PASMC; knockdown of CaSR in IPAH-PASMC with siRNA attenuated the extracellular Ca -mediated [Ca ]cyt increase and inhibited IPAH-PASMC proliferation. Using animal models of pulmonary hypertension, our data showed that CaSR expression and function were both enhanced
Improving Visualization on Code Repository Issues for Tasks Understanding

Understanding the tasks and bug locating are extremely challenging and time-consuming. Achieving a new state of the art of understanding the tasks or issues and provide a high-level visualization to the users would be an incredible asset to both developers and research communities. Open Github archive are gathered, and the data is programmatically labelled. The Fasttext embedding model was trained to map the words to together based on semantics. Then, both CNN and RNN types of deep learning architectures are trained to classify whether each tokenized instance is a source file attribute or not. The word embedding and LSTM models worked well and did generalize in the real-world usage up to an extent. The models could achieve around 0.80 F1 scores on the test set. Along with the model, the generated usage graphs are presented that are the final output of the thesis work. Some types of issues were suitable for this workflow and did produce reasonable graphs which might be useful for the users to see the big picture of an issue.
The No Blur Principle Effects as an Emergent Property of Language Systems a Opacity in Pendau: a Local Constraint Conjunction Analysis

There is a well-known preference for disjunctions X or Y to be construed so that X and Y are semantically disjoint. However, there are two felicitous usage patterns in which the speaker violates this preference in part to convey information about the language itself. First, disjunctions of terms in a one-way semantic inclusion relation, such as boat or canoe , can form part of a speaker strategy to manage lexical uncertainty surrounding the two terms, or block unwanted implicatures that the listener might draw from the general term alone. Second, disjunctions of synonymous terms like wine lover or oenophile can be used to convey deﬁnitional information. We explore both of these uses, relying on corpora to obtain a fuller picture of their motivations and their eﬀects on the listener. In addition, we show how both these uses are predicted by a standard semantics for disjunction and a recursive probabilistic model of communication in which speakers and listeners simultaneously exchange information about the world and about the language they are using. We also use the model to begin to formally characterize the pragmatics of implicature cancelation or blocking.
The antiviral protein viperin inhibits HCV replication via interaction with NS5A

The interferon-stimulated gene viperin has been shown to have antiviral activity against hepatitis C virus (HCV) in the context of the HCV replicon, although the molecular mechanisms responsible are not well understood. Here we demonstrate that viperin plays an integral part in the ability of interferon to limit replication of cell culture derived HCV (JFH-1) that accurately reflects the complete viral life cycle. Using confocal microscopy and Fluorescence Resonance Energy Transfer (FRET) analysis we demonstrate that viperin localizes and interacts with HCV NS5A at the lipid droplet interface. In addition viperin also associates with NS5A and the proviral cellular factor, VAP-A at the HCV replication complex. The ability of viperin to limit HCV replication was dependent on residues within the C-terminus as well as an N-terminal amphipathic helix. Removal of the amphipathic helix redirected viperin from the cytosolic face of the ER and the lipid droplet to a homogenous cytoplasmic distribution, coinciding with a loss of antiviral effect. C-terminal viperin mutants still localized to the lipid droplet interface and replication complexes but did not interact with NS5A proteins as determined by FRET analysis. In conclusion we propose that viperin interacts with NS5A and the host factor VAP-A to limit HCV replication at the replication complex. This highlights the complexity of host control of viral replication by interferon stimulated gene expression.
Influenza Virus Infection Causes Global Respiratory Tract B Cell Response Modulation via Innate Immune Signals1

Induction of primary B cell responses requires the presence of Ag and costimulatory signals by T cells. Innate signals further enhance B cell activation. The precise nature and kinetics of such innate immune signals and their functional effects are unknown. This study demonstrates that influenza virus-induced type I IFN is the main innate stimulus affecting local B cells within 48 h of infection. It alters the transcriptional profile of B cells and selectively traps them in the regional lymph nodes, presumably via up-regulation of CD69. Somewhat paradoxically, innate B cell stimulation inhibited the ability of regional lymph node B cells to clonally expand following BCR-mediated stimulation. This inhibition was due to IFNR-signaling independent B cell intrinsic, as well as IFNR-dependent B cell extrinsic, regulation induced following influenza infection. IFNR-mediated signals also reduced B cell migration to various chemotactic agents. Consistent with the lack of responsiveness to CCR7 ligands, unaltered or reduced expression of MHC class II and genes associated with MHC class II Ag processing/presentation and CD40, B cells were unable to induce proliferation of naive CD4 T cells. Instead, they showed increased expression of a subset of nonclassical MHC molecules that facilitate interaction with γδ T cells and NK T cells. We conclude that type I IFN is the main “third” B cell signal following influenza infection causing early trapping of B cells in regional lymph nodes and, at a time when cognate T cell help is rare, enhancing their propensity to interact with innate immune cells for noncognate stimulation.
A Gain-of-Function Mutation in a Plant Disease Resistance Gene Leads to Constitutive Activation of Downstream Signal Transduction Pathways in suppressor of npr 1-1 , constitutive

Plants have evolved sophisticated defense mechanisms against pathogen infections, during which resistance ( R ) genes play central roles in recognizing pathogens and initiating defense cascades. Most of the cloned R genes share two common domains: the central domain, which encodes a nucleotide binding adaptor shared by APAF-1, certain R proteins, and CED-4 (NB-ARC), plus a C-terminal region that encodes Leu-rich repeats (LRR). In Arabidopsis, a dominant mutant, suppressor of npr1-1 , constitutive ( snc1 ), was identified previously that constitutively expresses pathogenesis-related ( PR ) genes and resistance against both Pseudomonas syringae pv maculicola ES4326 and Peronospora parasitica Noco2. The snc1 mutation was mapped to the RPP4 cluster. In snc1 , one of the TIR-NB-LRR–type R genes contains a point mutation that results in a single amino acid change from Glu to Lys in the region between NB-ARC and LRR. Deletions of this R gene in snc1 reverted the plants to wild-type morphology and completely abolished constitutive PR gene expression and disease resistance. The constitutive activation of the defense responses was not the result of the overexpression of the R gene, because its expression level was not altered in snc1 . Our data suggest that the point mutation in snc1 renders the R gene constitutively active without interaction with pathogens. To analyze signal transduction pathways downstream of snc1 , epistasis analyses between snc1 and pad4-1 or eds5-3 were performed. Although the resistance signaling in snc1 was fully dependent on PAD4 , it was only partially affected by blocking salicylic acid (SA) synthesis, suggesting that snc1 activates both SA-dependent and SA-independent resistance pathways.
GROWTH AND YIELD RESPONSE OF FLAX (LINUM USITATISSIMUM L.) TO DIFFERENT RATES OF CHARCOAL AND POTASSIUM FERTILIZER

This study investigate the influence of different levels of charcoal and inorganic fertilizer on the some growth and yield parameters of flax crop. The study conducted in Grdarasha Field which is belong to the College of Agricultural Engineering Sciences, Salahaddin University – Erbil in the 2017 – 2018 growing season. Charcoal has not been yet applied as a fertilizer in flax field and any crops in Kurdistan, therefore its potential effect has been investigated for the first time in this study. Interaction among charcoal and potassium at the rate of (800g/m 2 and 60kg/ha), respectively were caused to significantly improve some growth and yield parameters such as plant height, technical stem length, total fresh yield and dry stem yield by the about (63.4cm, 46.3cm, 11.5 t/ha and 3.5 t/ha), respectively. Additionally, potassium alone especially at the rate of 60kg/ha showed an impact role to provide high value of both growth and yieldstudied characteristics. On the bright of the results, an opportunity could be seen to do more researches in the future about the effects of charcoal and inorganic fertilizers not only on flax but also on
A veri (cid:222) ed and optimized Stream X-Machine testing method, with application to cloud service certi (cid:222) cation

SUMMARY The Stream X-Machine (SXM) testing method provides strong and repeatable guarantees of functional correctness, up to a speci (cid:222) cation. These qualities make the method attractive for software certi (cid:222) cation, especially in the domain of brokered cloud services, where arbitrage seeks to substitute functionally equivalent services from alternative providers. However, practical obstacles include the dif (cid:222) culty in providing a correct speci (cid:222) cation, the translation of abstract paths into feasible concrete tests and the large size of generated test suites. We describe a novel SXM veri (cid:222) cation and testing method, which automatically checks spec-i (cid:222) cations for completeness and determinism, prior to generating complete test suites with full grounding information. Three optimization steps achieve up to a 10-fold reduction in the size of the test suite, removing infeasible and redundant tests. The method is backed by a set of tools to validate and verify the SXM speci (cid:222) cation, generate technology-agnostic test suites and ground these in SOAP, REST or rich-client service implementations. The method was initially validated using seven speci (cid:222) cations, three cloud platforms and (cid:222) ve grounding strategies. '2020 The Authors.
