Getting Ahead of Time—Performing Temporal Boundaries to Coordinate Routines under Temporal Uncertainty

In this ethnographic study of firefighters we explore how routines are coordinated under high levels of temporal uncertainty—when the timing of critical events cannot be known in advance and temporal misalignment creates substantial risks. Such conditions render time-consuming incremental and situated forms of temporal structuring—the focus of previous research on temporal coordination—unfeasible. Our findings show that firefighters focused their efforts on enacting temporal autonomy or, as they called it, “getting ahead of time. ” They gained temporal autonomy—the capacity to temporally uncouple from the unfolding situation to preserve the ability to adapt to autonomously selected events—by relying on rhythms they developed during training in performing individual routines and by opening up to the evolving situation only when transitioning between routines. Our study contributes to literature on temporal structuring by introducing temporal autonomy as a novel strategy for dealing with temporal contingencies. We also contribute to research on routine dynamics by introducing the performance of temporal boundaries as a previously unrecognized form of coordination within and among routines. Finally, we contribute to process research a method that allows analyzing complex temporal patterns and thus provides a novel way of visualizing processes.
The role of protein phosphatase 5 (PP5) in the regulation of heat shock factor 1 (HSF1) in xenopus laevis oocytes

Cells are continuously exposed to a variety of physiological and environmental stresses that can lead to protein aggregation and/or denaturation, and eventually cell death. In order to ensure survival, cells have evolved a stress response that monitors, detects, and responds to changes within the cellular environment. The stress response is characterized by the up-regulation of heat shock protein (hsp) genes whose products can mediate the assembly and/or degradation of misfolded or aggregated proteins within the cell. This stress-induced upregulation of heat shock protein encoding genes is under the regulation of heat shock transcription factor 1 (HSF1) and its associated proteins that together form what is known as the HSF1 heterocomplex. In eukaryotic cells, HSF1 exists as a non-DNA binding monomer in the absence of stress. Upon exposure to stress, HSF1 undergoes trimerization and acquires the ability to bind heat shock elements (HSEs) located upstream of all hsp genes and after further modification, can become converted into a transcriptionally active form. Following prolonged stress or after removal of stress, HSF1 loses its ability to bind DNA and transcription ceases in a process termed attenuation. Several studies have suggested that the DNA-binding and transcriptional activities of HSF1 are regulated by phosphorylation and dephosphorylation events and by chaperone-based folding mechanisms similar to those involved in the regulation of glucocorticoid receptors. Protein phosphatase 5 (PP5) has been identified as a member of the glucocorticoid receptor chaperone complex and its phosphatase activity has been shown to regulate the maturation and activation of the receptor. It has been suggested that PP5 may regulate HSF1 in a manner similar to that of glucocorticoid receptors however it has not yet been determined how PP5 interacts with the HSF1 heterocomplex or if PP5 functions to regulate HSF1-DNA binding and/or HSF1 transactivation.Utilizing the Xenopus model system, I tested the hypothesis that PP5 regulates the DNA binding and transcriptional activities of HSF1 through interactions with the HSF1 heterocomplex. Increasing the activity of PP5, either through the elevation of PP5 protein levels or by activating endogenous PP5, resulted in decreased HSF1-DNA binding as well as accelerated attenuation after the removal of stress. Conversely, inhibiting the phosphatase activity of PP5 using okadaic acid or by immunotargetting, where an antibody recognizing PP5 was microinjected into the nuclei of oocytes, resulted in delayed HSF1 attenuation. Transcription assays performed using activated PP5 also demonstrated that PP5 acts to decrease HSF1-mediated transcription. Immunoprecipitation and gel mobility supershift assays were also used to show that PP5 interacts with the HSF1 heterocomplex and PP5-HSP90 binding mutants illustrated that PP5 may exert its repressive effects independently of binding directly to HSP90.
Investigation of life satisfaction and interpersonal problem-solving skills of high school students according to their sports status

The aim of this work is to examine the life satisfaction and problem solving skills of high school students according to their sports status. Life satisfaction and problem-solving inventories were applied to 1100 voluntary students from 37 high schools selected from the 128 high school population in Turkey’s Kocaeli province by cluster sampling method. Since the data showed normal distribution when analyzed in SPSS 21 package program, the parametric test of Independent Sample T test was used to compare binary groups and One Way Anova test was used to compare multiple groups. Significance level was accepted as 0.05. When the data were analyzed, it was seen that being insistent and unwilling to take responsibility approaches in problem-solving and life satisfaction increased in males and in those who do sports; pessimistic and insistent approaches to problems increased as age and grade level increased and constructive approach to problems and life satisfaction increased as parental education level increased. It is seen that the interpersonal problem-solving skills and life satisfaction perceptions of students increase significantly with regular participation in sports. In this respect, it is suggested that sports opportunities in schools should be increased and participation should be encouraged. Key words: Interpersonal problem-solving skill, life satisfaction, sports, high school students.
Abstract: Mass Spectrometric Study of the Kinetics of Nitrogen Afterglow

Lewis‐Rayleigh afterglow in nitrogen has been examined by simultaneous observation with a mass spectrometer and a photomultiplier. Afterglow intensity was found to be proportional to the square of the ground‐state nitrogen atom concentration under a variety of conditions. The proportionality constant was essentially unaffected by small oxygen addition, but was somewhat increased with admixture of noble gases. Evidence is presented for a linear dependence of afterglow intensity on total pressure of nitrogen. Addition of nitric oxide to the afterglow results primarily in the production of nitrous oxide. From a rough calibration of the atomic concentration (ca 1%) and the afterglow radiation intensity, (1013 photons/cc‐sec) a termolecular rate constant of 2×10—33 cc2‐molecule—2‐sec—1 is obtained.The experimental data point to a termolecular reaction involving two 4S nitrogen atoms. The detailed mechanism probably involves the intermediate formation of the 5Σg+ molecular state, followed by a collision‐induced.
Part I: Modeling Media-related Educational Competencies

The following part is concerned with modeling media-related educational competencies from a theoretical viewpoint. First, the state of research in both countries will be summarized in the following chapter by a selection of central, related models and frameworks from an international context and from the USA and Germany. Generally, all competency models share a certain dependence on their national or international background or origin. This is true for deductively derived models, which mirror a certain selection of sources considered important by the researchers, and it is equally true for inductively developed models, reflecting practices and experiences from a specific background. Hence, the structure of presentation follows the objective of including a wide range of respective backgrounds. Although the main focus of this dissertation is on a comparison of Germany and the USA, it is yet valuable to include international models in the following considerations as well. Characterized by an explicitly broad applicability and impact, they offer a contrast and enrichen the perspective with potentially different foci and emphases. Hence, the perspective will be widened to international models first and then narrowed down to the USA and Germany, as the two countries of key interest.
Competition Dynamics in a Chemical System of Self-replicating Macrocycles

Central to the origin of life is the question how a chemical system transitioned from interacting molecules to an entity with the capacity for self-replication, diversification and adaptive evolution. Here, we study a chemical system that is comprised of macrocycles that have been shown to spontaneously give rise to self-replicating entities. By combining experimental and theoretical approaches, we strive to understand the evolutionary potential of this system. In particular, we apply eco-evolutionary reasoning to investigate whether and when this system of chemical replicators can diversify. Here, we report first results of a simplified stochastic chemical reaction model that is parameterized on the basis of experimental data. The model considers the competition of two replicators that do not interact directly but need similar building blocks for their growth and reproduction. Interestingly, the replicator that emerges first is being overtaken by the later one. By means of stochastic simulations, we will explore how the competitive ability of a replicator is determined by its chemical characteristics, and under which conditions replicators can coexist. The results will subsequently inform the design of future experiments.
Multi-chronometer dating of the Souter Head complex: rapid exhumation terminates the Grampian Event of the Caledonian Orogeny

ABSTRACT The Souter Head sub-volcanic complex (Aberdeenshire, Scotland) intruded the high-grade metamorphic core of the Grampian Orogen at 469.1 ± 0.6 Ma (uranium-238–lead-206 (238U–206Pb) zircon). It follows closely peak metamorphism and deformation in the Grampian Terrane and tightly constrains the end of the Grampian Event of the Caledonian Orogeny. Temporally coincident U–Pb and argon/argon (40Ar/39Ar) data show the complex cooled quickly with temperatures decreasing from ca.800 °C to less than 200 °C within 1 Ma. Younger rhenium–osmium (Re–Os) ages are due to post-emplacement alteration of molybdenite to powellite. The U–Pb and Ar/Ar data combined with existing geochronological data show that D2/D3 deformation, peak metamorphism (Barrovian and Buchan style) and basic magmatism in NE Scotland were synchronous at ca.470 Ma and are associated with rapid uplift (5–10 km Ma−1) of the orogen, which, by ca.469 Ma, had removed the cover to the metamorphic pile. Rapid uplift resulted in decompressional melting and the generation of mafic and felsic magmatism. Shallow slab break-off (50–100 km) is invoked to explain the synchroneity of these events. This interpretation implies that peak metamorphism and D2/D3 ductile deformation were associated with extension. Similarities in the nature and timing of orogenic events in Connemara, western Ireland, with NE Scotland suggest that shallow slab break-off occurred in both localities.
Biochemical and yield evaluation of onion (Allium cepa L.) genotypes under waterlogging condition

The present investigation entitled “Biochemical and yield evaluation of onion (Allium cepa L.) genotypes under waterlogging condition” was carried out at ICAR-Directorate of Onion and Garlic Research, Rajgurunagar, Pune (Maharashtra). Onion crop is extremely sensitive to waterlogging or soil flooding stress due to its shallow root growth habit. The climate change and rainfall distribution pattern most of the onion growing belt might be subjected to heavy rainfall leading to soil flooding condition and cope up with such situation need to identify the improved onion genotypes with better adaptive traits and tolerance for waterlogging condition Therefore, the main objective of the present study was screening of elite genotypes for water logging tolerance under pot condition. The experiment was laid out in factorial CRD for pot condition during kharif, 2018. The pot experiment was conducted in rainout shelter using plastic pot and plants were treated with creating artificial waterlogging condition with the help of tank pit and another set were kept outside in rainout shelter as control. The experimental materials comprises of 17 onion entries including red and white onion entries. The seedlings of each entry were raised from seeds in nursery for 45 days with recommended cultural practices and transplanted in pot. The biochemical traits leaf antioxidant, leaf flavonoids and phenol content exhibited maximum in genotype RGP 5 under waterlogging condition. The waterlogging condition was increased quality traits which producing more secondary metabolites for defense strategy of the plant. Further, the yield attribute like bulb yield percent was minimum decreased in genotype RGP 5 with the percent reduction of 18.59% and the genotype W 344 recorded maximum percent reduction with decline by 83.49% under water logging treatment. It may due the water logging condition inhibits the translocation of assimilates from source organs to sink organ. Therefore, on the basis of overall yield reduction percentage and other important traits, genotype RGP 5 can be categorized as water logging tolerant genotypes, whereas genotype W 344 and W 448 recognized as water logging sensitive genotypes among all the tested onion genotypes.
Eye Movements During Reading Can Predict Deep Comprehension

It is known that eye movements during reading reflect various reading processes as well as reader skill and attentiveness, but there is little work relating eye movements to reading comprehension outcomes. This work represents a novel step by showing that deep comprehension assessed by open-ended self-explanations during reading (r = 0.39, p < 0.001) can be predicted from eye movements in a person-independent manner. Our results have implications for theories of reading and for the design of real-time interventions.

The development of pedagogical infrastructures in three cycles of maker-centered learning projects

The purpose of the present investigation was to analyze the pedagogical infrastructures in three cycles of seventh graders’ co -invention projects that involved using traditional and digital fabrication technologies for inventing and creating complex artefacts. The aim of the projects was to create high-end multi-material makerspaces by expanding Finnish craft classrooms with instruments of digital fabrication, such as micro-processors, wearable computing (e-textiles), and 3D design and making, for enabling creation of student-designed multi-faceted inventions. Through a qualitative meta-analysis of the three successive learning-by-making projects, we explored the kinds of pedagogical infrastructures required for fostering knowledge-creating practices of learning. Pedagogic infrastructures refer to the designed arrangements and underlying conditions of implementing an extensive study project in classroom practices needed for reaching the learning objectives. We analyzed the epistemological, scaffolding, social, and material-technological dimensions of the enacted pedagogic infrastructures. In accordance with design-based educational investigations, we collected a variety of data (classroom video recordings, teacher and tutor interviews, invention challenges, learning assignments, and working schedules) across three year-long developmental cycles. We discuss the limitations and opportunities of maker-centered learning settings as well as considerations for future development of makerspace as pedagogical innovations for integrating socio-digital and material-technical practices and spaces for learning.
Belief rule‐based dependence assessment method under interval uncertainty

Human reliability analysis (HRA) is of great significance for probabilistic risk assessment, and the technique for human error rate prediction (THERP) has been widely applied to assess the dependence among HRA. However, uncertainties in analyst's judgment and experts' knowledge, especially interval uncertainty in analyst's judgment, have been ignored by existing methods. To this end, the belief rule‐based system is employed to model uncertainties in experts' knowledge in this paper, and the interval belief distribution is used to model interval uncertainty in analyst's judgment. Then, a new belief rule‐based dependence assessment method is proposed, and two case studies are used to illustrate the effectiveness of the proposed method. Experimental results demonstrate that the proposed method could not only model uncertainty using belief rules and interval belief distributions, but also provide a novel and effective way for human reliability analysis.
Identification of Quantitative Trait Loci for Fatty Acid Content in Brown Rice (Oryza sativa L.)

The rice bran oil contained in brown rice is composed of highly valued ingredient. Improving the content of unsaturated fatty acids in rice seed, such as oleic acid, linoleic acid, and α -linolenic acid, would provide more benefit to human health. Fatty acid content is quantitative trait controlled by multiple genes. We have utilized high-density SNP data from highly advanced breeding populations to identify QTLs for fatty acid contents in brown rice. Here, we identified 51 major QTLs (M-QTLs) and 25 epistatic QTLs (EpQTLs) related to eleven fatty acid contents. Eight and four M-QTLs were pleiotropically associated with the content of different fatty acids in MT-RILs and DT-RILs, respectively. Total effect of M-QTLs for palmitic acid (16:0), oleic acid (18:1), and linoleic acid (18:2), could explain phenotypic variations of 36.7%, 63.7%, and 41% in MT-RILs, respectively. Alpha-linolenic acid which is important for a human’s health could be explained phenotypic variation of 15.7% by six M-QTLs. These QTLs identified in this study can be used to improve nutritious content in rice breeding programs.
The significance of major roads as barriers and their roadside habitats as potential corridors for hazel dormouse migration – a population genetic study

Abstract. Major roads are commonly regarded as migration barriers for most terrestrial animal species. Hazel dormouse, Muscardinus avellanarius, populations in south-eastern Schleswig-Holstein were investigated in order to assess the possible effects of major roads on their genetic variability and genetic structure. A total of 177 samples were collected and analysed, using ten microsatellite loci. Estimates of genetic diversity (expected heterozygosity: 0.48-0.65, allelic richness: 2.9-3.9) were within the range commonly found in this species. No evidence of inbreeding or past bottlenecks was detected. The software structure grouped the samples into five subpopulations. However, this subdivision should be treated with caution, since many individuals with mixed or unclear genetic profiles were found, possibly representing migrants or their offspring. Contrary to the previous assumption that dormice hardly ever cross roads, the present study shows that dormice not only cross even major roads, but also hold close relationships to individuals living on the other side of the motorway. The high number of animals captured within a small area and the relatively low genetic differentiation (FST: 0.142 and 0.105) despite the great distances (33.1 and 25.6 km) along the road, indicate that the roadside shrubs can actually be good habitats for dormice and provide suitable corridors for migration.
Solid Polymer Electrolytes Derived from Crosslinked Polystyrene Nanoparticles Covalently Functionalized with a Low Lattice Energy Lithium Salt Moiety

Three new crosslinked polystyrene nanoparticles covalently attached with low lattice energy lithium salt moieties were synthesized: poly(styrene lithium trifluoromethane sulphonyl imide) (PSTFSILi), poly(styrene lithium benzene sulphonyl imide) (PSPhSILi), and poly(styrene lithium sulfonyl-1,3-dithiane-1,1,3,3-tetraoxide) (PSDTTOLi). A series of solid polymer electrolytes (SPEs) were formulated by mixing these lithium salts with high molecular weight poly(ethylene oxide), poly(ethylene glycol dimethyl ether), and lithium bis(fluorosulfonyl)imide. The crosslinked nano-sized polymer salts improved film strength and decreased the glass transition temperature (Tg) of the polymer electrolyte membranes. An enhancement in both ionic conductivity and thermal stability was observed. For example, the SPE film containing PSTFSILi displayed ionic conductivity of 7.52 × 10−5 S cm−1 at room temperature and 3.0 × 10−3 S cm−1 at 70 °C, while the SPE film containing PSDTTOLi showed an even better performance of 1.54 × 10−4 S cm−1 at room temperature and 3.23 × 10−3 S cm−1 at 70 °C.
The complete mitochondrial genome of Glossaulax reiniana (Littorinimorpha: Naticidae)

Abstract In the present study, the complete mitochondrial genome of Glossaulax reiniana was determined using the next-generation sequencing. The circular genome was found to be 15,254 bp in length and had an overall nucleotide composition of 30.6% A, 14.1% C, 15.8% G, and 39.5% T. Similar to the typical caenogastropod mitochondrial genomes, it contained 13 protein-coding genes, 2 ribosomal RNA genes, 22 transfer RNA genes, and a potential control origin. All protein-coding genes started with standard initiation codons (ATA and ATG) and ended by TAA or TAG. The lengths of 12S ribosomal RNA and 16S ribosomal RNA were 948 and 1353 bp, respectively. The largest noncoding region considered to contain the origin of replication was 59 bp in length. The complete mitochondrial genome reported here would provide useful information for molecular phylogeny, genetic conservation, and sustainable management of G. reiniana.
