Direct and indirect effects of body weight on adult wages

Previous estimates of the association between body weight and wages in the literature have been conditional on education and occupation. In addition to the effect of current body weight status (body mass index (BMI) or obesity) on wages, this paper examines the indirect effect of body weight status in the late-teenage years on wages operating through education and occupation choice. Using the National Longitudinal Survey of Youth 1979 data, for women, we find that a one-unit increase in BMI is directly associated with 1.83% lower hourly wages whereas the indirect BMI wage penalty is not statistically significant. Neither a direct nor an indirect BMI wage penalty is found for men. However, results based on clinical weight classification reveal that the indirect wage penalty occurs to a larger extent at the upper tail of the BMI distribution for both men and women via the pathways of education and occupation outcomes. Late-teen obesity is indirectly associated with 3.5% lower hourly wages for both women and men. These results are important because they imply that the total effect of obesity on wages is significantly larger than has been estimated in previous cross-sectional studies.
What makes us curious? the role of metacognition.

Curiosity is a basic biological drive that has a profound influence on our behaviour, choices and learning. Despite the vital role it plays in our daily lives, its functions, mechanisms and neural basis remain poorly understood. It has been proposed that the intensity of curiosity for certain information is tightly linked to the ability of that information to reduce uncertainty, thereby closing the gap between what is currently known and what is yet to be discovered. This project proposes that the ability to monitor one’s levels of knowledge and uncertainty (metacognition), is critical to the effective deployment of curiosity. The goal of this project is to unravel how metacognitive processing modulates curiosity. The relationship between metacognition and curiosity will first be systematically probed in a behavioural experiment that will investigate this relationship in both a learning and decision-making context. Computational modelling will further elucidate these relationships, and help to inform a theoretical model of curiosity as a metacognitive process. The cutting-edge decoded neurofeedback approach will then be used to selectively disrupt metacognition and curiosity in order to establish a causal relationship and determine the directionality of the effects. This project will be the first to combine experimental, neural and computational approaches to unravel the dynamics of the relationship between metacognition and curiosity. This integrative approach will result in a unified theoretical and mechanistic account of curiosity, which will provide a strong foundation for future research in this field. The findings will have far-reaching implications for diverse fields such as learning, decision-making, and robotics. A better understanding of curiosity and metacognition will also have important implications for the education sector, as both of these mechanisms have been implicated as important predictors of academic success.
RUXOLITINIB AS A TREATMENT STRATEGY FOR SARS-CoV-2 PNEUMONIA: CLINICAL EXPERIENCE IN A REAL-WORLD SETTING

Introduction: Severe acute respiratory syndrome-related coronavirus (SARS-CoV-2) infection is characterised by a viral phase and a severe pro-inflammatory phase. The inhibition of the JAK/STAT pathway limits the pro-inflammatory state in moderate to severe COVID-19 cases. Methods: We analysed the data obtained for an observational cohort of patients with SARS-CoV-2 pneumonia treated with ruxolitinib in 22 hospitals of Mexico. The dose used was determined based on physician’s criteria. The benefit of ruxolitinib was evaluated using the 8-points ordinal scale developed by the NIH in the ACTT1 trial. Duration of hospital stay, changes in pro-inflammatory laboratory values, mortality, and toxicity were also measured. Results: A total of 287 patients administered ruxolitinib were reported at 22 sites in Mexico from March to June 2020; 80.8% received 5 mg BID and 19.16% received 10 mg BID ruxolitinib. At the beginning of treatment, 223 patients were on oxygen support, 59 on invasive ventilation. The percentage of patients on invasive ventilation was 53% in the 10 mg and 13% in the 5 mg cohort. There was a statistically significant improvement measured as a reduction by 2 points (initial 5.39 ± 0.93, final 3.67± 2.98, P value = 0.0001) on the 8-point ordinal scale. There were a total of 74 deaths. Serious adverse events were presented in 6.9% of the patients. Conclusion: Ruxolitinib appears to be safe in COVID-19 patients, with clinical benefits observed in terms of decrease in the 8-point ordinal scale and pro-inflammatory state. Further studies must be done to ensure efficacy against mortality.

Road of Alpine Vineyard

Before the imposition of borders between France and Italy, Mountains of Turin, Val d’Aosta and Savoy was deeply interconnected. On both sides of the Alpes, vineyard was cultivated. Selected grape varieties and adapted to these climatic conditions was exchanged thanks to the trade flux and travellers. 
The common history of winemakers, the singular landscape and these invaluable vineyards leaned on the mountain are the starting point to explore a new vision of these three regions, which have yet some cultural, natural and sportive attractions for visitors. The ambitious objective of the project is to promote new roads of oenotourism discovery on both sides of occidental Alpes, purposing a thematic itinerary which will integrate the new touristic offer and will promote specificities of the territory from an oenological, gastronomic, geographic, historic and cultural point of view. 
The project acts on three strategic levels: the commune value and the formation of actors, the rehabilitation of landscapes, and the touristic promotion.
Overpressure compartments in the central paleo-uplift, Sichuan Basin, southwest China

The Sichuan Basin is a prime gas-producing basin in China. Besides the giant Neoproterozoic Weiyuan gas field discovered in the central paleo-uplift, an extra giant gas reservoir in the Cambrian in this area has been confirmed in recent years. Although the lower Paleozoic in the southwest (Weiyuan area) is normally pressured, it is overpressured in the central area (Moxi–Gaoshiti area). Combined with the seal distribution, five pressure systems, including three overpressure systems, can be divided based on drill-stem test, mud weight, and sonic transit time data. Overpressures appear at depth interval of 1500 to 4900 m (4921 to 16,076 ft), approximately. Benefiting from the good sealing capacity of the gypsum in the Upper and Middle Triassic, high overpressure (pressure coefficient [r] > 2.0) has been preserved in the Lower Triassic, and the Upper Triassic and Cambrian are moderately overpressured (1.3 < r < 1.7). Mechanisms for various overpressure systems are different. Abnormally high sonic transit time in the Permian indicates disequilibrium compaction overpressure. The analyses of sonic transit time–effective stress suggest that disequilibrium compaction is the primary mechanism for the overpressure in the Upper Triassic Xujiahe Formation, but the Cambrian overpressure system is predominantly associated with fluid expansion, which mainly resulted from gas generation. Furthermore, we consider that the late thermal cracking of oil to gas is a key factor for gas and overpressure preservation in old strata. The high overpressure in the Lower Triassic marine carbonate rocks was caused by oil cracking and gypsum dehydration mechanisms. Combining the origin analysis with the burial and hydrocarbon generation histories, we constructed the Cambrian pore pressure evolution model, which is characterized by roughly normal pressure before 200 Ma, overpressuring from 200 to 90 Ma, and overpressure releasing since 90 Ma.

Globalization, China’s drive for world-class universities (211 Project) and the challenges of ethnic minority higher education: the case of Yanbian university

This case study of Yanbian University, a Korean minority university in China, examines the challenges faced, strategies employed, and resources mobilized by a minority university in its attempt to become a world-class university. Specifically, this case study focuses on how the University is attempting to reach its goals within the context of the 211 Project, China’s plan to create 100 world-class universities capable of meeting the challenges of the 21st century. The rise of the knowledge economy has resulted in an increased link between economic prosperity and higher education. Thus, higher education reform has explicitly tied higher education to economic development and attempted to transform economic structures by turning the labor force into a highly skilled, technologically competent, educated work force capable of competing in a global economy. The socioeconomic changes that have occurred as a result of globalization and China’s transition to a market economy have also created new imperatives and challenges for higher education institutions, particularly among minority higher education institutions endeavoring to carve out a unique place in China’s higher education landscape.
Meats and greens in prehistoric meals: coprolites as novel dietary proxies in early agricultural societies

The emergence of agriculture, and the associated dietary shifts, fundamentally changed how humans interacted with their environments, but the nature and timing of this process is debated. In 2019 a team of 250 scientists from across the globe published a landmark paper in Science, which synthesised current knowledge, and highlighted the early beginnings of the transformative global environmental change that is the basis of the emerging Anthropocene paradigm. This synthesis also highlighted significant gaps in our knowledge, particularly how the process varied in different parts of the world. This research will address these issues by developing an entirely new analytical approach, looking at dietary signals in human coprolites (fossilised faeces), to assess the relative contribution of animal and plant products, and cereals compared to other types of plants. Through the application of an innovative multiproxy methodology, that integrates macroscopic and microscopic analysis of contents, and lipid biomarker analysis of the ‘invisible’ residues, this project will provide a new evidence of diet in the Neolithic. We will focus on Neolithic subsistence and diet in two regions, Britain and China. These contrasting case studies reflect the expertise of the applicant and supervisor and will form the basis of future research which expands this approach to other regions. We will address a major question in Neolithic archaeology concerning the importance of cereals and how this varied in different regions within China and Britain. Our aims are to assess whether coprolites can be used to demonstrate consumption of cereals and other specific plant species, to examine how the dietary profiles of coprolites differ from thosereconstructed from other lines of evidence and to investigate the relative importance of plant and animal products in Neolithic diets.

The effect of mixotrophic chrysophytes on secondary productivity in pelagic food webs

Plankton occupy a key position in aquatic trophic webs, and today, a highly relevant topic lies ahead in assessing its global change-mediated shifts, with implications for the functioning of aquatic systems. Mixotrophic chrysophytes are prevailing elements of phytoplankton in oligo- and mesotrophic lakes. Their contribution is predicted to increase with climate warming, which imply serious consequences for pelagic trophic efficiency and ecosystem services e.g. fish production. However, our current knowledge on the nutritional quality and bottom-up effect of chrysophytes is insufficient. CHRYSOWEB aims to reveal their effects on zooplankton secondary production and diversity in a multi-disciplinary approach, which will significantly contribute to the understanding of carbon flow and nutrient cycling in alpine lakes under global change. Laboratory feeding experiments will be combined with field observations to quantify species-specific responses of relevant zooplankton taxa to chrysophytes. The underlying mechanisms will be biochemically analysed in algae and consumers. The host, WasserCluster Lunz (WCL) is a leading limnological institute in Central Europe with cutting-edge infrastructure and outstanding research performance. My supervisor, Dr Robert Ptacnik (leader of AquaScale working group, WCL) has excellent background in plankton ecology and experimental systems. The biochemical part will be performed in cooperation with Dr Martin Kainz (leader of LIPTOX working group, WCL). I will additionally benefit from the international cooperation with Prof Herwig Stibor (LMU Munich; place of secondment). CHRYSOWEB will produce front-line and timely inter-disciplinary results and enhance my future perspectives to become an independent researcher by broadening my expertise both conceptually and methodologically. The inspiring working environment, high-quality infrastructure, excellent supervision and my personal motivation guarantee the successful outcome of the project.

EU L 187/1 of 26.06.2014).The aim of the project is to carry out R & D works aimed at developing a solution to improve efficiency by reducing the duration of processes for the performance of tasks related to assembly, operation and servicing and reducing the duration of the training module for employees performing these activities. As part of the research work, a comprehensive system of tools will be developed, using augmented reality technology, supporting the work of assembly, service technicians and operators of equipment manufactured by WCBKT S.A. and reducing the cost of training these employees. The solution will be used in the processes of assembly, operation and servicing of devices designed and manufactured by the Military Central Office for Construction and Technology S.A., which has been supplying the Polish Armed Forces for years, and more recently to a wider range of civilian users, equipment intended for ground handling of aircraft (NOSP/GPU). The devices designed and manufactured in the Company are used to handle all types of aircraft, including VIP passenger aircraft, to carry the most important persons in the country. The implementation of such tools to improve the efficiency of processes will allow to obtain economic benefits, which, while maintaining the quality of production and service, would significantly improve the company’s profitability and thus also its competitive position.
Exclusion of all three calbindins from a calcium-ferry role in rat enamel cells

It is widely accepted that healthy enamel formation depends on a steady supply of calcium, yet only fragmentary understanding exists about the mechanisms underlying transepithelial calcium transport. Several lines of evidence indicate that calcium principally follows a transcellular route, which classically is thought to be facilitated by cytosolic calcium-binding proteins termed calbindins. In enamel cells, however, this 'calcium-ferry' dogma appears to fail as we previously found that the major calbindin in murine enamel cells (calbindin-28 kDa) was down-regulated during the peak period of calcium transport and enamel was formed normally in mice lacking calbindin-28 kDa. It remains to be clarified whether the two other known calbindins could function as calcium ferries instead. This study used biochemical and proteomic approaches to obtain definitive identification and quantification of the 30-kDa calbindin (calretinin) and calbindin-9 kDa (S100-G) in enamel epithelium from rat. By establishing that both of these calbindins contribute insufficient calcium capacities in molars and incisors, our results render the calcium-ferry dogma untenable. Of significance to enamel defects and dental bioengineering, these findings support other evidence for an alternative organelle-based mode of calcium transport (calcium transcytosis) and also implicate S100-G/calbindin-9 kDa, but not calretinin, in a calcium-signaling role during enamel maturation.
Relationship between pain and plasma amino acid levels in chronic pancreatitis.

Our aim was to investigate the relationship between imbalances of plasma amino acids and pain in chronic pancreatitis (CP).Thirty patients with alcoholic CP in an exocrine-insufficient state were examined. We divided them between diet and control group. Diet group ingested 80 g/300 kcal of the elemental diet "Elental®". This diet of 300 kcal/day was administered for two months. Selected clinical and laboratory values were compared between both groups before and after diet. Pain was observed and compared using a visual analog scale (VAS).There was no significant difference in the BMI between both groups before and after diet. The serum albumin level in diet group after diet was significantly higher than in control group (P=0.036). There was no significant difference in HbA1c between both groups before and after diet. The total amino acid concentration was significantly higher in diet group after diet than in control group (P=0.033). The concentrations of serum histidine and methionine in diet group after diet were significantly higher than in control group (histidine, P=0.022; methionine, P=0.026). The concentration of serum glutamate in diet group after diet was significantly lower than in control group (P=0.027). The balance of amino acids in diet group was normalized after the Elental® was ingested. The VAS score was significantly lower in diet group after diet than in control group (P=0.018).These amino acid levels and pancreatic pain were improved by the elemental diet. The pancreatic pain may be related to these amino acid imbalances.
