A Comprehensive Integrated Drug Similarity Resource for In-Silico Drug Repositioning and Beyond
Authors: Azad AKM , Dinarvand Mojdeh , Nematollahi Alireza , Swift Joshua , Lutze-Mann Louise , Vafaee Fatemeh
Published: May 2020

Drug similarity studies are driven by the hypothesis that similar drugs should display similar therapeutic actions and thus can potentially treat a similar constellation of diseases. Drug-drug similarity has been derived by variety of direct and indirect sources of evidence and frequently shown high predictive power in discovering validated repositioning candidates as well as other in-silico drug development applications. Yet, existing resources either have limited coverage or rely on an individual source of evidence, overlooking the wealth and diversity of drug-related data sources. Hence, there has been an unmet need for a comprehensive resource integrating diverse drug-related information to derive multi-evidenced drug-drug similarities. We addressed this resource gap by compiling heterogenous information for an exhaustive set of small-molecule drugs (total of 10,367 in the current version) and systematically integrated multiple sources of evidence to derive a multi-modal drug-drug similarity network. The resulting database, DrugSimDB currently includes 238,635 drug pairs with significant aggregated similarity, complemented with an interactive user-friendly web interface (http://vafaeelab.com/drugSimDB.html) which not only enables database ease of access, search, filtration and export, but also provides a variety of complementary information on queried drugs and interactions. The integration approach can flexibly incorporate further drug information into the similarity network, providing an easily extendable platform. The database compilation and construction source-code has been well-documented and semi-automated for any-time upgrade to account for new drugs and up-to-date drug information.
A Hybrid Alchemical Free Energy and Machine Learning Methodology for the Calculation of Absolute Hydration Free Energies of Small Molecules
Authors: Scheen Jenke , Wu Wilson , Mey Antonia S. J. S. , Tosco Paolo , Mackey Mark , Michel Julien
Published: May 2020

A methodology that combines alchemical free energy calculations (FEP) with machine learning (ML) has been developed to compute accurate absolute hydration free energies. The hybrid FEP/ML methodology was trained on a subset of the FreeSolv database, and retrospectively shown to outperform most submissions from the SAMPL4 competition. Compared to pure machine-learning approaches, FEP/ML yields more precise estimates of free energies of hydration, and requires a fraction of the training set size to outperform standalone FEP calculations. The ML-derived correction terms are further shown to be transferable to a range of related FEP simulation protocols. The approach may be used to inexpensively improve the accuracy of FEP calculations, and to flag molecules which will benefit the most from bespoke forcefield parameterisation efforts.

Published: May 2020

The full blossoming of quantum technologies requires the availability of easy-to-prepare materials where quantum coherences can be effectively initiated, controlled and exploited, preferably at ambient conditions. Solid-state multilayers of colloidally grown quantum dots (QDs) are highly promising for this task because of the possibility of assembling networks of electronically coupled QDs through the modulation of sizes, inter-dot linkers and distances. To usefully probe coherence in these materials, the dynamical characterization of their collective quantum mechanically coupled states is needed. Here we explore by 2D electronic spectroscopy the coherent dynamics of solid-state multilayers of electronically coupled colloidally grown CdSe QDs and complement it by detailed computations. The time evolution of a coherent superposition of states delocalized over more than one QD was captured at ambient conditions. We thus provide important evidence for inter-dot coherences in such solid-state materials, opening up the effective exploitation of these materials towards quantum technologies.

Published: May 2020

Escherichia coli has a major cause of women urinary tract infection, which it harbours various kinds of drug resistance-associated genes. So, the current study examined the prevalence and frequency of genes. These genes are responsible for the resistance of aminoglycoside and fluoroquinolone drugs in uropathogenic gentamicin-resistant E. coli isolated from urinary tract infections among women. Six hundred urine specimens were tested. The data revealed 348 (58%) and 70 (11.66%) had gram-positive and gram-negative, respectively. The other 182 (30.33%) were found without any growth. A total of 600 clinical specimens were 167(27.833%) identified as E.coli isolate according to biochemical tests and Vitek-2 System. The phenotypic gentamicin-resistant screening (MIC and disk diffusion) revealed out of 167(27.833%) E.coli isolates were 25(4.166%) gentamicin-resistance. Antibacterial agents susceptibility of 25 gentamicin-resistant E.coli isolates showed concern level of resistance among different categories of antibacterial agents, ranged from high resistance 25(100%) for nalidixic acid to less rate of resistance 4/25(16%) by imipenem drug. Molecular data have demonstrated the prevalence of associated resistance genes for both aminoglycosides and fluoroquinolones. Among 25 gentamicin-resistant E.coli isolates 24/25(96%) were harbours for the genes gyr-B, aac(6’)-Ib-cr, strA/B, and 23/25(92%) of isolates were harbouring for the genes gyrA, qnrS, and aacC-2. In contrast, qnr-B, aac(6′)/aph(2′), and aph(3)lla were identified in 20/25(80%), 11/25(44%) and 8/25(32%) respectively. At the same respect, aacC-1, qnrA, and qnrC genes were no detect in the current study. However, 24/25(96%) of isolates were carrying the class 1integron (intel-1) gene.

Esporte, portugalização e diáspora: os luso-chineses de Moçambique
Authors: Macagno Lorenzo
Published: May 2020

O artigo reconstrói a tênue e paradoxal incorporação dos chineses da Beira (Moçambique) na “família portuguesa”. O trabalho se concentra, sobretudo, no período da década de 1950, quando Portugal buscou reforçar a sua ideologia colonial em termos de um suposto multirracialismo exercido nas chamadas Províncias Ultramarinas. De que maneira esta portugalização foi promovida? Através do esporte e, mais especificamente, do basquetebol, os colonos chineses ganharam notoriedade e foram considerados “bons portugueses” e bons cidadãos. Baseado em um trabalho etnográfico multissituado realizado junto aos luso-chineses, este artigo reflete sobre o esporte em termos de uma dimensão significativa daquela modernidade colonial.

The public libraries play very important role in fostering the intellectual development of society at large. They support both formal and non-formal education systems of our society. They are considered as People’s University and serve as a center for self-education and lifelong learning. They are considered to be an intellectual power house which strives to fulfill and meet the educational needs of the public through varied resources and services Presented Research Paper reveals that  Rajasthan State are need urgent attention on the District Public libraries for  lack of staff and insufficient budget. It’s great achievement that in 2006, Library legislation passed in Rajasthan but not seems their major effects till today. I think Rajasthan needs advocacy to run the Public libraries. In Rajasthan, maximum libraries are facing the problem of book losses and no regular basis stock verification done. Hope after reviewing this study Govt. of Rajasthan will observe the pros and cons.

Published: May 2020

Learning strategies are plans that learners use to achieve their learning goals. The current study investigates the perceived uses of learning strategies among preschoolers, namely Basic rehearsal strategies, Complex rehearsal strategies, Basic elaboration strategies, Complex elaboration strategies, Basic organizational strategies, Complex organizational strategies, Comprehension monitoring strategies and Affective and motivational strategies among preschoolers in learning English. The study employed 23 preschool teachers as the samples having semi-structured interviews as the research instrument. Findings from the study showed that the learning strategies were implemented by the preschoolers in the course of their learning. Yet, the degree of the usages of the learning strategies varies from one to another. The study implied that deciding on learning games, teaching aids, and asking appropriate questions during lessons are essential to maximize the learning strategies among children in their early learning.
Neurocognitive interventions based on network neuroscience may break the cycle of drug addiction relapse
Authors: Loganathan Kavinash , Ho Eric Tatt Wei
Published: May 2020

In Malaysia, abstinence-centric programs failed to reduce drug use and stem the spread of HIV. The Malaysian government shifted its focus to implement harm reduction strategies with methadone maintenance therapy (MMT), in particular proving to be effective in improving the overall health and well-being of people who inject drugs (PWIDs). Despite this success, MMT retention rates remain low, as methadone is only able to stall drug consumption, but not stop it completely. Neuroimaging research revealed that PWIDs enrolled in MMT still display addictive behavior, including drug cue sensitivity, craving, and withdrawal, despite treatment adherence. Brain activity amongst treated PWIDs continues to bear similarities to untreated individuals, as they struggle with cognitive impairments and poor self-control. Findings from the emerging field of network neuroscience could provide fresh insight into the mechanics of addiction, especially the impact of substance abuse on brain-wide cognitive networks. Concurrently, the development of non-intrusive cognitive interventions, such as neurofeedback and transcranial magnetic stimulation, shows promise to reprogram a person's patterns of brain activity, including those regulated by large-scale networks, to a state resembling normalcy. We highlight the importance of relapse in the life-long rehabilitation of substance abuse. The lack of treatment options to handle relapse after successful harm-reduction policies is due to the absence of a conceptual framework to reason about interventions. We review recent research in the new field of network neuroscience, which suggests that altered brain activity due to drug addiction underlies the propensity for relapse and that this dysfunction is not addressed in drug rehabilitation programs. We hypothesize that non-invasive, non-pharmacological cognitive interventions based on network neuroscience to correct brain activity dysfunction associated with addiction are potential therapies to treat drug addiction relapse. In complement with medicine-substitution-based therapies, we hope this approach will finally break the cycle of addiction.

Digital Wellbeing as a Dynamic Construct
Authors: Vanden Abeele Mariek Magdalena Petra
Published: May 2020

Mobile media support our autonomy by connecting us to persons, contents and services independently of time and place constraints. At the same time, they challenge our autonomy: We face struggles, decisions and pressure in relation to whether, when and where we connect and disconnect. Digital wellbeing is a new concept that refers to the (lack) of balance that we may experience in relation to mobile connectivity. This article develops a theoretical model of digital wellbeing accounting for the dynamic and complex nature of our relationship to mobile connectivity, thereby overcoming conceptual and methodological limitations associated with existing approaches. This model considers digital wellbeing an experiential state of optimal balance between connectivity and disconnectivity that is contingent upon a constellation of person-, device- and context-specific factors. These constellations represent pathways to digital wellbeing that – when repeated –affect wellbeing outcomes. Digital wellbeing interventions are effective when they disrupt these pathways.

Gravity as entanglement, entanglement as gravity
Authors: Penchev Vasil Dinev
Published: May 2020

A generalized and unifying viewpoint to both general relativity and quantum mechanics and information is investigated. It may be described as a generaliztion of the concept of reference frame from mechanics to thermodynamics, or from a reference frame linked to an element of a system, and thus, within it, to another reference frame linked to the whole of the system or to any of other similar systems, and thus, out of it. Furthermore, the former is the viewpoint of general relativity, the latter is that of quantum mechanics and information.Ciclicity in the manner of Nicolas Cusanus (Nicolas of Cusa) is complemented as a fundamental and definitive property of any totality, e.g. physically, that of the universe. It has to contain its externality within it somehow being namely the totality. This implies a seemingly paradoxical (in fact, only to common sense rather logically and mathematically) viewpoint for the universe to be repesented within it as each one quant of action according to the fundamental Planck constant.That approach implies the unification of gravity and entanglement correspondiing to the former or latter class of reference frames. An invariance, more general than Einstein's general covariance is to be involved as to both classes of reference frames unifying them. Its essence is the unification of the discrete and cotnitinuous (smooth). That idea underlies implicitly quantum mechanics for Bohr's principle that it study the system of quantum microscopic entities and the macroscopic apparatus desribed uniformly by the smmoth equations of classical physics.e
Valence bias in metacontrol of decision making in adolescents and young adults
Authors: Bolenz Florian , Eppinger Ben
Published: May 2020

Metacontrol refers to the human ability to dynamically adapt decision-making strategies to changes in internal and external demands. In this study, we investigated the development of metacontrol from adolescence into young adulthood as well as developmental differences in the sensitivity of metacontrol to framing effects. Adolescents and young adults were assessed with a decision-making task that dissociates model-free and model-based decision-making strategies. In this task, we manipulated outcome magnitude and outcome valence, i.e. the framing of outcomes. With increasing age, we found a greater adaptation of model-based decision making to outcome magnitudes. Model-based decision making was more pronounced for loss compared to gain frames but this framing effect did not differ with age. Our findings suggest that metacontrol continues to develop into young adulthood. While losses generally increase the motivation to invest cognitive resources into an effortful decision-making strategy, the development of metacontrol is not sensitive to framing effects.
Cooperation, Response Time, and Social Value Orientation: A Meta-Analysis
Authors: Andrighetto Giulia , Capraro Valerio , Guido Andrea , Szekely Aron
Published: May 2020

Recent research at the cross between cognitive and social sci- ences is investigating the cognitive mechanisms behind coop- erative decisions. One debated question is whether cooperative decisions are made faster than non-cooperative ones. Yet em- pirical evidence is still mixed. In this paper we explore the implications of individual heterogeneity in social value orien- tation for the effect of response time on cooperation. We con- duct a meta-analysis of available experimental studies (n=8; treatments=16; 5,232 subjects). We report two main results: (i) the relation between response time and cooperation is mod- erated by social value orientation, such that it is positive for individualist subjects and negative for prosocial subjects; (ii) the relation between response time and cooperation is partly mediated by extremity of choice. These results suggest that highly prosocial subjects are fast to cooperate, highly individ- ualist subjects are fast to defect, and subjects with weaker pref- erences make slower and less extreme decisions. We explain these results in terms of decision-conflict theory.
Looking out for Myself: Exploring the Relationship Between Conspiracy Mentality, Perceived Personal Risk and COVID-19 Prevention Measures
Authors: Marinthe Gaëlle , Brown Genavee , Delouvée Sylvain , Jolley Daniel
Published: May 2020

Objectives. This research examined how conspiracy mentality may affect compliance with preventive health measures necessary to fight the COVID-19 pandemic, and the underlying motivations to comply. Design and Method. We conducted two cross-sectional studies (Study 1 N = 762, Study 2 N = 229) on a French population, measuring conspiracy mentality, compliance with preventive health measures, and perceived risks related to COVID-19. We also measured motivations to comply with preventive measures in Study 2.Results. We show that people high in conspiracy mentality are likely to engage in non-normative prevention behaviours (Study 1), but are less willing to comply with extreme preventive behaviours that are government-driven (Study 2). However, we demonstrate that a perceived risk to oneself (risk of death) and a motivation to protect oneself can act as a suppressor: conspiracy mentality is linked with an increase in the perception of risk to oneself, which in turn, is associated with normative compliance. We also find that perceived risk of death explains the relationship between conspiracy mentality and non-normative prevention behaviours. Conclusions. Our studies showcase how people high in conspiracy theorizing may (dis)engage with prevention behaviours, but that perceived risk and motivation to protect oneself could increase these individuals’ compliance.

Forest and other land cover assessment in Nepal using Collect Earth
Authors: Khadka A. , Dhungana M. , Khanal S. , Kharal D. K.
Published: May 2020

Periodic monitoring of land cover is essential to examine the total extent and changes over time. Information derived from forest and other land cover analysis provides key input for policy formulation and management decisions. Land cover patterns on the Earth are constantly being changed by different human activities, thereby influencing biophysical processes. Analysis and mapping of land cover are important aspects in management, planning and monitoring of forest resources. Thus, we designed this study to assess national-level forest and land cover using the Openforis Collect Earth and compare the results with other assessments. We generated a number of systematic sampling points across the country and visually interpreted each of them on this Platform to assess the land cover type. Furthermore, we adopted six land cover classes as prescribed by the IPCC Good Practice Guidance. Our study provided the current status of forest and other different land cover classes. Forest occupied 6.54 million ha (44.47%) followed by Other land 4.22 million ha (28.68%) of the total area of Nepal, respectively. Besides, Cropland, Settlement, Wetland and Grassland covered 3.22 million ha, 0.17 million ha, 0.18 million ha and 0.38 million ha, respectively. The overall accuracy of the interpretation of all the land cover classes was found to be more than 98%. Comparing the results with the past studies, the calculated results of Forest, Cropland, Settlement and Wetland were found to be reliable for reporting purpose. However, further studies are necessary to generate more reliable results in terms of the Other land and Grassland.

Extent of plant invasions has been expected to be low in protected areas such as national parks due to low anthropogenic activities and high wilderness. However, recent researches across the world have revealed that plant invasions can be severe in the national parks with negative impacts on the protected species and ecosystems. Unfortunately, the status of plant invasions in the national parks of Nepal is mostly unknown. In this study, we sampled at seven locations inside the Parsa National Park (PNP) to document diversity and abundance of invasive alien plant species (IAPS) and their impacts on tree regeneration. Altogether, 130 quadrats of 10 m × 10 m were sampled. We recorded 14 IAPS in the PNP. Three of the IAPS (Chromolana odorata, Lantana camara and Mikania micrantha) were among the 100 of the world’s worst invasive alien species. C. odorata was found to be the most frequent IAPS with the highest cover. The frequency and cover of the IAPS were higher at the sites close to the settlements than at the sites away from the settlements. The species richness of the IAPS was also higher at the sites closer to the settlements than away. The sapling density of the tree species was found to have declined with the increasing cover of the IAPS suggesting that the IAPS had negatively affected tree regeneration. Our data revealed that the PNP has already witnessed massive plant invasions with widespread occurrence of three of the world’s worst invasive species. Therefore, it is high time to integrate management of invasive alien species in the management plan of the park.

Published: May 2020

Air limbah mengandung berbagai macam mikroorganisme yang bersifat pathogen (bakteri dan virus) yang dapat membahayakan manusia. Mikroorganisme tersebut dapat dihilangkan dengan proses disinfeksi menggunakan klorin. Untuk peracancagan alat disinfeksi, pada penelitian ini dibentuk model kinetika baru untuk merepresentasikan data. Model dibentuk dengan mengembangakan model kinetika chick yang digabungkan dengan persamaan empiris (persamaan linier). Nilai SSE pada Model yang dibentuk dibandingkan dengan model kinetika yang sudah ada seperti Hom dan Has. Pada sampel air limbah Industri ditambahkan klorin hingga konsentrasi klorin di dalam air limbah sebesar 0,05, 0,1, 0,15, 0,2, 0,25 ppm. Setiap waktu 1, 2, 4, 6,8,10 dan 20 menit, 1 ml sampel dihitung jumlah bakterinya dengan motode pour flate. Pada penelitian ini model yang dihasilkan dapat merepresentasikan dengan baik data pada konsentrasi 0,1 – 0,25 ppm. Nilai konstanta pada kinetika seperti k sebesar 0,725 menit-1, a1 sebesar 2,6384 ppm-1 dan a2 sebesar 0,2057.  Pada konsentrasi 0,1 - 0,25 ppm,  model yang dibentuk pada penelitian ini lebih baik merepresentasikan data dibandingkan dengan model Hom dan Has.
Gestão do conhecimento, curadoria e produção de conteúdo para a educação a distância: relações conceituais
Authors: Rocha Daiana Garibaldi da , Gouveia Luís Borges
Published: May 2020

O presente artigo trata-se do estado da arte com base em três conceitos: gestão do conhecimento, curadoria e produção de conteúdo para educação a distância. Realizou-se a busca da literatura nas bases de dados, b-on, RCAAP e Capes –, sendo os dois primeiros repositórios europeus e o último brasileiro, no período de 15 anos (2004-2019). As teses, disserta-ções e os artigos foram realizados em mais de 15 programas de pós-graduação, especificamente, programas da área de Edu-cação, Ciência da Informação e Computação, Gestão do Conhecimento e Comunicação. O objetivo deste artigo é descrever e relacionar as principais definições e deslocamentos que emergiram no que se refere à abordagem dessas três temáticas no período investigado, por meio do estudo das pesquisas que foram propostas e dos seus respectivos resultados. Com base nessa análise, objetivamos identificar lacunas de investigação e, se possível, indicar e levantar novas questões de pesquisa relevantes para investigações futuras, assim como relacionar estes três importantes conceitos a educação a distância. Apesar de inúmeros estudos sobre os assuntos, não foi identificada pesquisas que relacionam as três temáticas, sendo as práticas de curadoria a menos relacionada entre os dois outros temas. Os resultados apontam uma relação entre os conceitos focados para a educação a distância a partir de 2011, se intensificando após o ano de 2014.

Published: May 2020

Este estudo pretende identificar os principais indicadores de desempenho relacionados à qualidade do serviço de transporte público coletivo na Região Integrada de Desenvolvimento do Distrito Federal e Entorno (RIDE/DF). Por meio de uma revisão bibliográfica foram identificados atributos para compor o sistema de indicadores. Uma base de dados, disponibilizada ao público anualmente, contém dados transmitidos em tempo real por uma nova tecnologia (MONITRIIP), e dados cadastrais enviados por empresas que operam pelos municípios do entorno do Distrito Federal. Para auxiliar na integração, tratamento e análise de dados, foi adotado um processo de Business Intelligence. Como resultado, observou-se a ausência de alguns atributos para compor os indicadores, além da carência de dados para se chegar a um valor que retrate a realidade, possivelmente devido ao período de adaptação do sistema MONITRIIP. No entanto, foram identificados alguns indicadores que podem contri-buir e melhorar a gestão de transporte na RIDE/DF, com uso das novas tecnologias.
Mineralogy and lithology of the Upper Cretaceous Niobrara Formation determined by hyperspectral core imaging
Authors: Birdwell Justin E. , Fonteneau Lionel C. , Martini Brigette A.
Published: May 2020

Sections of the Upper Cretaceous (Coniacian to Campanian) Niobrara Formation in two cores from Kansas and Colorado, the Amoco Rebecca Bounds and USGS Portland 1, respectively, were examined by hyperspectral core imaging and analysis. A spectral imaging system combining high-resolution photography (50 μm), 3D laser profiling (20 μm), and near-visible + short-wave infrared reflectance spectroscopy (wavelengths from 450 to 2500 nm, 500 μm pixel size) was applied to these cores to provide spectral and textural data facilitating creation of continuous mineral and lithology class maps. In addition, compositing of pixel-based results to group pixels to create mineralogical and lithological logs (0.5-ft resolution) was performed to facilitate comparisons to other geochemical datasets. The results show general correspondence in trends identified by previous geochemistry studies, with some exceptions due to instrumental limitations related to low reflectance of some rock intervals and the limited range of infrared wavelengths examined. This study provides a cursory overview of an extensive dataset meant to demonstrate the utility of hyperspectral core scanning to studies of mudrocks in petroleum systems as well as the kinds of information this technique can provide for detailed examination of stratigraphic features in sedimentary systems more generally.
