Physiological significance of the glucocorticoid and mineralocorticoid receptor signalling in the innate immune system

Glucocorticoids, such as cortisol, play an essential role in our stress response. Cortisol signals through two receptors, the glucocorticoid receptor (GR) and the mineralocorticoid receptor (MR), and it has profound effects on the immune system. To date, much of the research on cortisol action has focused on the function of GR, but almost no work has been done on the function of MR. My main aim is to unravel the role of MR in mediating the effects of cortisol on the immune response, and I would like to answer two questions: 1) How does MR activation modulate the inflammatory response? 2) How do MR and GR functionally interact to alter gene transcription? I will use an interdisciplinary approach. The first question will be answered using the zebrafish animal model, and I will determine the role of MR in wounding-induced leukocyte migration in zebrafish larvae and study the mechanism of action of MR in activated macrophages. The second question will be answered using cultured macrophages, and I will determine the occurrence of MR/GR heterodimers using biophysical approaches, and establish a functional role of the heterodimers. The outcome of this project will have a considerable impact on the current paradigm of glucocorticoid action in the immune system, and extend our understanding of the molecular actions of immune-modulating glucocorticoid drugs. My training objectives are: 1) Broadening my expertise in endocrine research using the zebrafish model system. 2) Expanding my toolbox using cell culture-based approaches and biophysics. 3) Developing complementary skills required for the management and organization of an academic research group. Furthermore, I will strengthen my scientific track record and network. The project will be performed at the Institute of Biology of Leiden University, and implementation of the project in that environment will ensure a unique position for me to run this project successfully, receive appropriate training and advance my career.
Levitation and guidance force efficiencies of bulk YBCO for different permanent magnetic guideways

Abstract The development of superconductor Maglev systems depends on various disciplinary studies due to the inherent composition of available technologies. Because the fabrication cost is very effective on the Maglev, the requirement of the efficiency improvement focuses the researchers on the design considerations. In this study, the guidance force, the magnetic levitation force (MLF) and magnetic stiffness of different permanent magnetic guideway (PMG) arrangements were investigated in different cooling heights (CH) to enhance the efficiency of Maglev system. The single domain cylindrical bulk YBCO superconductors fabricated by top seeding method with the diameter of 45 mm and the height of 15 mm were used as HTS. Magnetic field distributions of the PMGs were calculated by finite element method to determine optimum HTS–PMG arrangements. We have used auxiliary onboard permanent magnets with YBCOs to improve the MLF of three pole Halbach PMG arrangements. It is seen that the efficiency of Maglev systems can be improved by using suitable HTS–PMG arrangements. In this study cost efficiency of the integrated levitation and guidance force (( F z ) max ( F x ) max /( S PMG  ∗ Cost)) was also determined. It is inferred from this study that the cooling height and PMG–HTS arrangement are key parameters for guidance force, levitation force, magnetic stiffness and efficiency of Maglev systems. It is believed that this study will supply useful references for practical application of HTS Maglev systems.

Peripapillary Choroidal Thickness in Healthy Controls and Patients With Focal, Diffuse, and Sclerotic Glaucomatous Optic Disc Damage

To examine peripapillary choroidal thickness in healthy controls and in patients with glaucoma who have focal, diffuse, and sclerotic optic disc damage.Healthy controls (n=92) and patients with glaucoma who have focal (n=34), diffuse (n=35), and sclerotic (n=34) optic disc damage were imaged with spectral-domain optical coherence tomography (12° circular scan protocol centered on optic nerve head). Peripapillary choroidal thickness was measured as the distance between the automatically segmented retinal pigment epithelium/Bruch's membrane and the manually outlined interface between the posterior choroid and the anterior border of the sclera in eyes in which the anterior scleral border was visible over more than 85% of the scan circumference.The anterior scleral border was visible in 76 controls (83%) and 89 patients (86%). Peripapillary choroidal thickness in healthy controls decreased linearly with age (-11 μm/decade; P.001; r2=0.16), with a predicted value of 137 μm at age 70 years (95% prediction interval, 62-212 μm). While this value was similar in patients with focal and diffuse optic disc damage (126 and 130 μm, respectively; P=.22 compared with controls), it was approximately 30% lower in patients with sclerotic optic disc damage (96 μm; P.001 compared with controls).The peripapillary choroid of patients with glaucoma who have sclerotic optic disc damage was approximately 25% to 30% thinner compared with that in patients with focal and diffuse optic disc damage and with that in healthy controls. The role of the choroid in the pathophysiology of sclerotic glaucomatous optic disc damage needs further investigation.
Optimizing bio-based fertilisers in agriculture – knowledgebase for new policies

Imported mineral phosphate and fossil energy-intensive nitrogen fertilisers cause major detrimental impacts on the environment, whilst nutrient-rich side-streams/organic waste remain under-utilised. By optimising usage of bio-based fertilisers (BBF) from side-streams, ensuring their safety, building evidence-based trust in their usage and developing legislative framework for their use, it will be possible to reduce dependence upon mineral/fossil fertilisers, benefiting the environment and the EU’s economy.

LEX4BIO aims to achieve this by collecting and processing regional nutrient stock, flow, surplus and deficiency data, and reviewing and assessing the required technological solutions. Furthermore, socioeconomic benefits and limitations to increase substitution of mineral fertiliser for BBFs will be analysed. A key result of LEX4BIO will be a universal, science-based toolkit for optimising the use of BBFs in agriculture and to assess their environmental impact in terms of non-renewable energy use, greenhouse gas emissions and other LCA impact categories. LEX4BIO provides for the first time connection between production technologies of BBFs and regional requirements for the safe use of BBFs.

The large variation between EU regions in nutrient flows and regional requirements for fertilisers will be estimated by harmonised methods to produce the knowledge basis needed to set up feasible ways to redirect the nutrient flows where needed. This will be followed by classifying the best available technologies for producing regionally tailored BBFs to secure high agricultural productivity, as well as environmental protection, food safety and human health.

In LEX4BIO, the knowledge basis and recommendations will be gathered and processed together with stakeholders across Europe, providing best solutions for decreasing the dependency on imported fertilisers, closing the nutrient cycles and improving sustainability of European farming systems.
[Analysis on opioid compounds in the hair of heroin addicts with LC-MS/MS]

Objective To evaluate the effects of washing process on hair samples from heroin addicts, and compare the extracting method of enzymatic digestion with homogenization of hair samples. Methods After washing samples for 3.15 h, a mild enzymatic digestion procedure at pH 6.6 and a buffer incubating procedure in water bath at 48 degrees C during 18h was used. The samples were pre-treated by solid phase extraction using mixed mode sorbent columns (MCX Oasis). Quantitative analysis of morphine, codeine, 6-acetylmorphine, heroin, acetylcodeine by chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry method was developed. Results Heroin accounted for 21.82% of the total equivalents of morphine. The ratio of morphine to 6-MAM in enzymatic digestion hair samples was 0.9875 and that in homogenized hair samples was 0.3948. Conclusion The results suggested that the procedures were not sufficient to remove the contaminants penetrating into hair from external sources.
Thermal responsive hydrogels based on semi interpenetrating network of poly(NIPAm) and cellulose nanowhiskers

A hybrid hydrogel nanocomposite was developed based on semi interpenetrating network that was formed as a result of concurrent free radical polymerization of N-isopropylacrylamide (NIPAm) and methylenebis acrylamide (MBA) crosslinker along with cellulose nanowhiskers (CNWs). CNWs were synthesized through sulfuric acid hydrolysis and used in preparation of semi interpenetrating network (IPN). CNWs have considered as reinforcement materials for poly(NIPAm) because CNWs were distributed as strengthening entities in Poly(NIPAm). N-isopropylacrylamide was polymerized in presence of methylenebis acrylamide crosslinking agent using K2S2O8 as initiator at 700 C for 1h. The resulting hydrogel's structure, morphology, thermal sensitive property and swelling behavior were investigated. It was found that introducing CNWs into Poly(NIPAm) causes a huge increase in the value of equilibrium swelling ratio (ESR) as compared with the pure PNIPAm. The ESR ranges from 21.6g/g to 5 g/g as the swelling temperature changes from 310 °C to 340 °C; hence, the hydrogel exhibits a good responsive temperature at about 320 °C.
Guillaume postel and the east: universalism in the global renaissance

The overarching objective of the PostelEast project is to provide the first in-depth philosophical and historical analysis of the political and religious universalism of the 16th-century French polymath Guillaume Postel (1510-1581) in his first main work, “De orbis terrae concordia” (1544). Postel theorized a peaceful political union between the East and the West, i.e., between Muslims, Jews, and Christians, under the renewal of an ancient and universal faith. Nonetheless, a comprehensive analysis of his universalistic theory and its intellectual context is still missing, since scholarship has focused on his Kabbalistic ideas. By ascertaining the crucial role of his interests in the Ottoman culture and the humanist milieu, this study will reconstruct the historical and philosophical roots, assumptions, and impact of Postel’s universalism, through the analysis of: (1) his first travel across the Ottoman Empire and its ideological implications; (2) the humanistic sources (familiar to Comacchi thanks to her past research), which orient Postel’s understanding of the Ottoman culture and religion; (3) his “De orbis terrae concordia;” (4) the transcultural transfer to which he contributed by bringing rare oriental books to Europe. Thus, the project will unearth his contribution to Western religious tolerance, cosmopolitanism, and orientalism. The three-year project will bring Dr. Comacchi at Indiana University Bloomington, Università Ca’ Foscari Venezia, and, during a secondment, at the Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona. Comacchi, who has international experience in Italy, Germany, and France, is confident that the Action will profoundly impact her career. She will acquire knowledge in the field of Renaissance studies from a global perspective, new skills, establish new fruitful relationships, and disseminate results among specialists and a wider audience, which will enable her to become a leading scholar in the field of the Renaissance history of philosophy and ideas.

The Naval School of Music

The Naval School of Music was founded in 1935 in response to the poor performance level of the U.S. Navy’s bands at that time. The school evolved from an adjunct operation of the U.S. Navy Band into a tri-service institution serving the Army, Navy, and Marine Corps with dedicated facilities, courses for musicians and band leaders, and courses to meet contemporary needs such as arranging, jazz, pop/rock, and sound engineering. Today it serves the Navy and Marine Corps. The military bands for which the Naval School of Music trains its graduates provide direct feedback on the content and quality of its instruction.
Investigating the formation and early evolution of the moon with a combined experimental and analytical approach

The project aims to investigate one of the fundamental events in the early evolution of the solar system; the timing of the formation and initial differentiation of the Moon, by combining isotopic analyses of lunar samples with new experimental constraints on the partitioning behaviour of key radiogenic parent-daughter elements. Previous isotope analyses of lunar samples provided model ages interpreted to represent key processes in the Moon’s early geologic evolution, although these interpretations remain speculative and are often conflicting. In particular, recent work by the experienced researcher (ER) has provided new insight into the Pb isotope systematics of lunar rocks and the framework for a model of magmatic evolution in the Moon, but uncertainties associated with the partitioning behaviour of U and Pb, severely hinder data interpretations. Hence, the ER will perform a series of experiments replicating the temperature and pressure conditions during lunar core formation and in the hypothesised Lunar Magma Ocean (LMO). These experiments will be performed in the Vrije Universiteit high-pressure laboratory (Work Package (WP) 1), building on their recent studies. Experimental run products will be subjected to comprehensive analysis (WP 2); e.g. scanning electron microscope imaging to characterise phase assemblages while major, minor and trace element concentrations will be determined using electron microprobe and laser ablation inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry in order to determine partition coefficients. These partition coefficients will then be incorporated into new models of lunar differentiation and LMO crystallisation (WP 3). Finally, the ER plans to test these models with secondary ion mass spectrometry (SIMS) measurements of Pb isotope systematics in a range of lunar basalts collected during the Apollo missions and lunar meteorites (WP 4).
A System for Summarizing Scientific Topics Starting from Keywords

In this paper, we investigate the problem of automatic generation of scientific surveys starting from keywords provided by a user. We present a system that can take a topic query as input and generate a survey of the topic by first selecting a set of relevant documents, and then selecting relevant sentences from those documents. We discuss the issues of robust evaluation of such systems and describe an evaluation corpus we generated by manually extracting factoids, or information units, from 47 gold standard documents (surveys and tutorials) on seven topics in Natural Language Processing. We have manually annotated 2,625 sentences with these factoids (around 375 sentences per topic) to build an evaluation corpus for this task. We present evaluation results for the performance of our system using this annotated data.
The dimensions of nursing surveillance: a concept analysis

This paper is a report of an analysis of the concept of nursing surveillance.Nursing surveillance, a primary function of acute care nurses, is critical to patient safety and outcomes. Although it has been associated with patient outcomes and organizational context of care, little knowledge has been generated about the conceptual and operational process of surveillance.A search using the CINAHL, Medline and PubMed databases was used to compile an international data set of 18 papers and 4 book chapters published from 1985 to 2009.Rodger's evolutionary concept analysis techniques were used to analyse surveillance in a systems framework. This method focused the search to nursing surveillance (as opposed to other medical uses of the term) and used a theoretical framework to guide the analysis.The examination of the literature clarifies the multifaceted nature of nursing surveillance in the acute care setting. Surveillance involves purposeful and ongoing acquisition, interpretation and synthesis of patient data for clinical decision-making. Behavioural activities and multiple cognitive processes are used in surveillance in order for the nurse to make decisions for patient safety and health maintenance. A systems approach to the analysis also demonstrates how organizational characteristics and contextual factors influence the process in the acute care environment.This conceptual analysis describes the nature of the surveillance process and clarifies the concept for effective communication and future use in health services research.

Summary Stroke is an emergency state requiring immediate diagnosis and treatment. It is recommended that all acute stroke patients should be treated in a stroke unit. Thrombolytic therapy proved to be the most effective treatment. Although intravenous thrombolysis is available, only 10% of the patients are treated with recombinant tissue plasminogen activator (rt-PA) in the best Polish centres. Statistically, in scale of the country, the percentage of patients treated that way is no more than 1. Recently there has been a dynamic development of surgical neurology, which aims at surgical treatment of ischemic stroke including intraarterial thrombolysis, mechanical recanalisation of arteries (embolectomy), carotid endarectomy, remodeling, angioplasty and stenting. There is, however, lack of reliable research results confirming efficiency of these methods. According to recommendations of experts from the National Programme of Prevention and Treatment of Stroke POLKARD surgical stroke care is rarely advised. Surgical treatment is recommended in specific cases of ischemic stroke (malignant middle cerebral artery infarct, large spaceoccupying cerebellum infarct) and in some cases of intracerebral hemorrhage. Surgical treatment is restricted to patients with superficial intracerebral hematoma (cases with localization in basal ganglia), cases of rapid decrease of consciousness or

Using reversible jump MCMC for cognitive diagnostic model selection

Cognitive diagnostic assessment (CDA) is an effective data mining approach in education. It aims to discover diagnostic information about students' cognitive strengths and weaknesses. A large number of CDA statistical models are developed and based on different assumptions about how attributes or combinations of attributes influence item response. However, the relationship between attributes and item response is unknown in reality. This challenges the researcher to make a conscious thought on the mechanism of item response and model selection before data analysis. This article introduced the reversible jump Markov Chain Monte Carlo (RJMCMC) method for the determination of three conjunctive diagnostic models that based on different assumptions in order to achieve better model-data fit and higher correct classification rate. Firstly, three conjunctive cognitive diagnostic models were described briefly. Secondly, the algorithm of RJMCMC for automatic model selection was established. Finally, a simulation study and an analysis of real data were presented to verify the algorithm. The simulation and the real data analysis results demonstrated that the model selection algorithm of RJMCMC can work well among three models.
