Warming Changed Soil Respiration Dynamics of Alpine Meadow Ecosystem on the Tibetan Plateau
Authors: Wang Junfeng , Yuan Ziqiang , Wu Qingbai , Rafique Rashad
Published: October 2019

Alpine meadow system underlain by permafrost on the Tibetan Plateau contains vast soil organic carbon and is sensitive to global warming. However, the dynamics of annual soil respiration (Rs) under long-term warming and the determined factors are still not very clear. Using opentop chambers (OTC), we assessed the effects of two-year experimental warming on the soil CO2 emission and the Q10 value (temperature sensitivity coefficient) under different warming magnitudes. Our study showed that the soil CO2 efflux rate in the warmed plots were 1.22 and 2.32 times higher compared to that of controlled plots. However, the Q10 value decreased by 45.06% and 50.34% respectively as the warming magnitude increased. These results suggested that soil moisture decreasing under global warming would enhance soil CO2 emission and lower the temperature sensitivity of soil respiration rate of the alpine meadow ecosystem in the permafrost region on the Tibetan Plateau. Thus, it is necessary to take into account the combined effect of ground surface warming and soil moisture decrease on the Rs in order to comprehensively evaluate the carbon emissions of the alpine meadow ecosystem, especially in short and medium terms.
Sensitivity Analysis Of Geographical River Boundary Layers

Published: October 2019

Bank full discharge is generally considered to be the dominant steady flow which would generate the same regime channel  shape and dimensions as the natural sequences of flows would.  This is because investigation on the magnitude and frequency of sediment transport have determined that for stable rivers the flow which in the longer term transports most material has the same frequency of occurrence as bankfull flow.  For stable gravel-bed rivers, this is considered to be the 1.5-year flood.
Improved Heat FT Induction Leads to Earlier and More Prolific Flowering in Poplar
Authors: Azeez Abdul , Busov Victor
Published: October 2019

Trees have a long juvenile phase before reproductive onset. This makes their breeding and studying floral development difficult. Precocious flowering using FT technology has shown promise. However, transgenic FT overexpression has significant negative pleiotropic effects. Hence, there has been interest in inducible FT expression for flower induction. Previously reported heat inducible expression of FT in poplar successfully induced flowering. However, flowering was sporadic and took up to 6 weeks. Here we report improvements in the protocol, which led to faster and more prolific flowering. Specifically, we increased the once to three times daily heat treatment. The repeated heat inductive treatments led to nearly five times higher FT expression, compared to the single daily treatment. The highly increased FT expression led to significant acceleration and abundance of flowering.

Published: October 2019

The aim of the paper consists in obtaining analytical solutions of the problem on current parameters in the flow bifurcations of a gaseous heat carrier in tubes of heat-exchange equipment used in air-space, shipbuilding and other engineering. The investigation method consists in the solution of the equation system of momentum, continuity and power. In the paper there is substantiated a choice of a theoretical model for a current simulation of a gaseous heat carrier in piping bifurcations of heat-exchange equipment with the allowable degree of proximity to an actual current and complexity of essential computations – a thermo-dynamic model of a subcritical, stationary current of compressible gas. There are obtained analytical solutions of the problem on the current of gaseous heat carrier flows in piping bifurcations of heat-exchange equipment used in different fields of engineering, in particular, in aero-space and shipbuilding and so on, whereas earlier took place only numerical solutions of this problem. In this paper the solutions were obtained without application of special functions used at the solution of non-linear and transcendental equations.

Published: October 2019

Coastline boundaries are constantly changing due to natural or human-induced events that take place in the world. Therefore it is necessary to correctly observe coastline boundaries. Remote sensing is one of the most frequently used methods to monitor the changes in coastal areas. In this study, it is aimed to solve the problem of choosing the right method for coastal change observation. This paper introduces a spatial pixel-based and object-based image classification approach to recognize changing areas in coastline. The coastline boundary changes occurred in a part of Yamula Dam Lake in Kayseri province were examined using three multispectral Landsat 8 satellite images of March, August and November 2016. Firstly, imageto-image registration processing was performed to register the three satellite images. Then, each satellite image was classified into two information classes either ‘Lake’ and ‘Other Field’ by using pixel-based Artificial Neural Networks (ANNs) and object-based K-Nearest Neighbor (KNN) method. Classification accuracies for ANNs method were obtained 99.97%, 99.90% and 99.80% respectively in March, August and November. As for the accuracies of the classification for the KNN method, in March, August and November were obtained 99.99%, 99.93% and 99.92% respectively. The change images were formed for March-August and August-November pairs by using the obtained classification images. The post classification comparison method was used to determine the changes in coastline boundaries. At the end of the study, seasonal changes from water to land and from land to water were detected. According to the result of the changes there is a 5,67 km2 increase from March to August and a 3,14 km2 decrease from August to November in Yamula Dam Lake.
The paradox of insecure attachment and depressive symptoms across the lifespan: Towards an integrative view
Authors: Dagan Or , Bernard Kristin
Published: October 2019

Attachment theory has long argued that insecure attachment patterns are associated with vulnerability to psychopathology in general, and depressive symptoms in particular. However, accumulating evidence from the past four decades, summarized in three large meta-analyses (each assessing over 4000 subjects) that evaluated the link between insecure attachment and depressive symptoms at different developmental stages, suggested paradoxical results. Specifically, children with histories of deactivating (i.e., insecure-avoidant) but not hyperactivating (i.e., insecure-resistant) attachment patterns in infancy and early childhood showed elevated depressive symptoms. In contrast, adolescents and adults with hyperactivating (i.e., insecure-preoccupied) but not deactivating (i.e., insecure-dismissing) attachment classifications showed elevated depressive symptoms. In this paper, we summarize findings from three large meta-analyses across different developmental periods, and highlight the contradicting meta-analytic findings regarding the link between attachment and depressive symptoms across human development. On top of presenting some methodological issues regarding the constructs and measurements of depressive symptoms across the lifespan, we propose a developmentally integrative explanation as to why the two insecure attachment patterns may be differentially linked to depression at different developmental stages. Lastly, we offer future research directions to empirically examine the link between insecure attachment and depressive symptoms across the lifespan.

Sensitivity to expected negative outcomes during approach-avoidance conflict in a trans-diagnostic patient sample: a computational (active inference) modeling approach
Authors: Smith Ryan , Kirlic Namik , Stewart Jennifer L. , Touthang James , Kuplicki Rayus , Khalsa Sahib S. , Paulus Martin P , Aupperle Robin
Published: October 2019

Background: Sacrificing rewarding aspects of one’s life due to potential aversive outcomes is an important characteristic of multiple psychiatric disorders. Such decisions occur during approach-avoidance conflict (AAC), which has become the topic of a growing number of behavioral and neuroimaging studies. Here we describe a novel computational modeling approach to studying AAC.Methods: A previously-validated AAC task was completed by 479 participants including healthy controls (HCs), and individuals with depression, anxiety, and/or substance use disorders (SUDs), as part of the Tulsa 1000 study. An active inference model was utilized to identify parameters corresponding to the subjective aversiveness of affective stimuli (VNegative), the subjective value of points that could be won (VPoints), and decision uncertainty (β). We used correlational analyses to examine relationships to self-reported experiences during the task, analyses of variance to examine diagnostic group differences (depression/anxiety, substance use, HCs), and exploratory machine learning analyses to examine the contribution of dimensional clinical and neuropsychological measures.Results: Model parameters correlated with self-reported experience and reaction times during the task in expected directions. Relatve to HCs, both clinical groups showed higher VNegative values, and the SUD group exhibited less decision uncertainty (lower β values). Machine learning analyses highlighted several clinical domains (i.e., alcohol use, personality, working memory) potentially contributing to task parameters.Conclusions: Our results suggest that avoidance behavior in individuals with depression, anxiety, and SUDs may be driven by increased sensitivity to predicted negative outcomes and that insufficient decision uncertainty (overconfidence) may also further contribute to avoidance in substance use disorder.

Measuring emotional granularity in school-age children
Authors: de França Souza Maria Tereza , Biazoli Claudinei , Silvestrin Mateus
Published: October 2019

Dense longitudinal experience sampling studies with adults have shown that high emotional granularity scores are associated with better emotion regulation skills and lower prevalence of some psychiatric symptoms and disorders. Given the inherent difficulty in data acquisition, investigations applying this same methodology during development are still scarce. Here we present the first study of emotional granularity measured from a dense longitudinal experience sampling procedure in school-age children. Two hundred and sixty four children (ages 9 to 13 years old, mean = 10.4 ± 0.9) assessed their emotions with likert scales in three different weeks: one week before, one during and one after a four-month school-based psychoeducational program. Behavioral problems and social skills were also assessed before and after the same intervention in a separate sample of 113 children (ages 7 to 13 years old; mean = 9.3 ± 1.5). Small to moderate improvements in social skills were observed after the psychoeducational intervention in comparison to baseline. Regarding emotional granularity, a moderate improvement was observed for the discrimination of positive emotions after the intervention. Interestingly, responses to disgust and social emotions (jealousy, guilt, shame and envy) showed no significant variance throughout the samplings, suggesting that these emotion concepts are not usually applied,by school-age children. Our findings suggest the feasibility of assessing emotional granularity in school-age children and show an improvement in positive emotional granularity after a psychoeducational program, which have also improved social skills. Finally, challenges and further directions for properly applying emotional experience sampling in children are discussed.
Energy flows in gesture-speech physics: Exploratory findings and pre-registration of confirmatory analysis
Authors: Pouw Wim , Harrison Steven A. , Gibert Nuria Esteve , Dixon James A.
Published: October 2019

A well-known phenomenon of multimodal language is the synchronous coupling of prosodic contours in speech with salient kinematic changes in co-speech hand-gesture motions. Invariably, such coupling has been rendered by psychologists to require a dedicated neural-cognitive mechanism preplanning speech and gesture trajectories. Recently, in a continuous vocalization task, it was found that acoustic peaks unintentionally appear in vocalizations when gesture motions reach peaks in physical impetus, suggesting a biomechanical basis for gesture-speech synchrony (Pouw, Harrison, & Dixon, 2019). However, from this rudimentary study it is still difficult to draw strong conclusions about gesture-speech dynamics in (more) complex speech and the precise biomechanical nature of these effects. Here we assess how the timing of physical impetus of a gesture relates to its effect on acoustic parameters of mono-syllabic consonant-vowel (CV) vocalization(/pa/). Furthermore, we assess how chest-wall kinematics is affected by gesturing, and whether this modulates the effect of gestures on acoustics. In the current exploratory analysis, we analyze a subset (N = 4) of an already collected dataset (N = 36), which serves as the basis for a pre-registration of the confirmatory analyses yet to be completed. Here we provide exploratory evidence that gestures affect acoustics (amplitude envelope and F0) as well as chest-wall kinematics during mono-syllabic vocalizations. These effects are more extreme when a gesture’s peak impetus occurs closer to the center of the vowel vocalization event. If the current findings can be replicated in confirmatory fashion, there is a more compelling case to be made that gesture-speech physics is important facet of multimodal synchrony.
Variation in Women’s Mate Preferences Over the Development of a Monogamous Relationship Corresponds with Changes in Men’s Life History Strategy (Author's Accepted Version)
Authors: Owens Rebecca , Driscoll Helen , Farrelly Daniel
Published: October 2019

Much research has examined how men’s mating strategies change over the development of a relationship consistent with predictions from Life History Theory. Specifically, research shows both physiological and behavioural indicators of mating effort decrease once men are mated, and further once they become fathers, unless they remain engaged in mating effort. This switch from mating to parenting effort is sexually selected, and therefore the corresponding shifts in women should be examined, though to date, women’s short- or long-term mate preferences have been studied as separate entities rather than as a transition from short- to long- term. We examined how women’s mate preferences changed over the development of a relationship, to see if they varied consistently with what is known about variation in men’s mating effort. Vignettes detailed four key milestones in the development of a relationship and women rated the importance of the man at each stage displaying indicators of mating or parenting effort. Women increasingly prioritised indicators of parenting effort in men as the relationship developed, consistent with what is known about men’s reduction in mating effort in favour of parenting effort over the development of a relationship. The results support predictions from Life History Theory and highlight the interacting mutually reinforcing nature of sexually selected behaviours.

Proton magnetic resonance spectroscopy provides a non-invasive and quantitative measure of brain metabolites. Traumatic brain injury impacts cerebral metabolism and a number of research groups have successfully used this technique as a biomarker of injury and/or outcome in both pediatric and adult TBI populations. However, this technique is underutilized, with studies being performed primarily at centers with access to MR research support. In this paper we present a technical introduction to the acquisition and analysis of in vivo magnetic resonance spectroscopy and review magnetic resonance spectroscopy findings in different injury populations. In addition, we propose a basic data acquisition scheme that can be added to any imaging protocol, regardless of clinical magnetic resonance platform. We outline a number of considerations for study design as a way of encouraging the use of magnetic resonance spectroscopy in the study of traumatic brain injury, as well as recommendations to improve data harmonization across groups already using this technique.

Published: October 2019

Mental abacus is the mental arithmetic with the help of an imagined abacus. Children skilled in mental abacus have been shown to exhibit advantages in arithmetic abilities. The current study investigated whether children with high-level mental abacus ability could outperform controls in non-symbolic number sense, which is considered to be much fundamental for arithmetic development. One hundred and fifty children (75 children skilled in mental abacus and 75 controls) took part in this study. Children skilled in mental abacus completed a mental abacus level test. Two groups of children performed serial cognitive tasks, including non-symbolic number comparison, arithmetic, language, spatial processing, visual perception, attention, processing speed, working memory, and general intelligence. Results show that children skilled in mental abacus had better non-symbolic number sense than the controls after controlling for general intelligence. The significant group difference of non-symbolic number sense retained after further controlling for age, gender, all types of cognitive processing available and even arithmetic performance. A mediation model showed that the non-symbolic number sense partially mediated the group difference on arithmetic development. The results suggest that children skilled in mental abacus have enhanced non-symbolic number sense. These findings raise the possibility that mental abacus training could have a causal effect on children’s non-symbolic numerical skills.
Primary sensory cortices are anatomically organized according to physical distance

Published: October 2019

Sensations from the surface of the skin, which physically divides what is internal versus external to our bodies, also divides the cerebral cortex into front and back. The sensory cortices are anatomically organized in a way that reflects our conception of a physical internal/external spatial continuum, such that as we move more posterior in the brain, we find sensory domains that attend further out in physical space. This framework suggests physical space is an organizing principal for both conscious experience and brain anatomy.

This article revives the agency of Lavinia in Titus Andronicus through a blended ecocritical and complexivist approach. A ‘blue’ ecocritical lens identifies Lavinia’s alignment with aquatic imagery, and tracks the development of this imagery across four main phases in the play: human tears, a river, a flood, and a freeze. These phases broadly map onto different modes of ecological relations as the play explores alternative patterns of human–environmental interactions. Lavinia is reinterpreted as an active and independent complex ecosystem, and one capable of communicating through the same aquatic imagery which is utilised in the narrative to attempt to contain and commodify her. Titus’s aquatic discourse finds parallels in our own climate crises, in ongoing problematic associations between women and nature, and in our need to generate new models of agency and ecological relations.

AbstractBackground: A standardized extract of cultured Lentinula edodes mycelia (ECLM), an extract from cultured Lentinula edodes, has been reported to suppress breast cancer stem cell proliferation by regulating microRNA (miR) expression. Natural antisense RNAs (ASs), a type of protein non-coding RNA, can regulate the expression of protein-coding genes by acting as a competing endogenous RNA (ceRNA) that adsorbs miRNAs, resulting in the prevention of mRNA degradation, and can also form a transient RNA duplex with mRNA. EphA2, a receptor tyrosine kinase, is typically expressed at low levels in normal epithelial cells, whereas its overexpression has been widely observed in numerous solid tumors and is associated with cell transformation, primary tumor initiation, and tumor progression. Objective: This study aimed to investigate the effect of ECLM on the expression of both EphA2 mRNA and endogenous AS to this mRNA, which could negatively affect human breast carcinoma cell proliferation. Methods: We used MCF7 and MDA-MB-231 human breast carcinoma cells, which were sub-cultured three times in the presence of optimized concentrations of ECLM. The effect of ECLM on the expression of EphA2 AS and mRNA was analyzed by RT-qPCR. miRNAs targeting both EphA2 AS and EphA2 mRNA and their RNA miR response elements (MREs) were predicted and analyzed by RT-qPCR and luciferase reporter assays. Results: ECLM suppressed the proliferation of MCF7 and MDA-MB-231 cells in a dose-dependent manner. In cells for which proliferation was negatively affected by ECLM, EphA2 AS and mRNA expression was also significantly inhibited by ECLM. Although neutralization of miR-335 led to the de-repression of both EphA2 AS and mRNA, results did not fully support the possibility that EphA2 AS might function as a ceRNA to regulate EphA2 mRNA levels. Conclusion: ECLM suppressed the proliferation of breast carcinoma cells in a specific dose-dependent manner. This suppressive effect was associated with a concordant reduction in both EphA2 AS and mRNA expression. These effects were not thought to occur via the reported ceRNA effect. These results thus suggest that ECLM could regulate EphA2 AS and mRNA expression by forming a transient RNA duplex formation, thereby stabilizing EphA2 mRNA. Keywords: ECLM, regulatory RNA, antisense RNA, microRNA, EphA2
O que é isto - o PROF-FILO?

O Mestrado Profissional em Filosofia – PROF-FILO, apoiado pela Associação Nacional de Pós-Graduação em Filosofia, foi gestado de forma coletiva e colaborativa, iniciando suas atividades acadêmicas em 2017. Transcorridos os dois primeiros anos do programa, a comunidade filosófica ainda desconhece o que é feito no âmbito do PROF-FILO e, não raro, questiona se a natureza profissional do mestrado é condizente com os critérios (mínimos!) para a Filosofia na pós-graduação. O presente artigo pretende, a partir da apresentação de dados do programa, discutir a natureza profissional deste último, atentando para a indissociabilidade entre teoria e prática no exercício docente – e defendendo que as atividades de ensino e pesquisa no âmbito do PROF-FILO contribuem para o processo de ressignificação da identidade dos/as professores/as discentes e docentes do Mestrado Profissional em Filosofia.

The lens dislocation (ectopia) is a partial or complete lens displacment from the normal anatomical position to the anterior chamber of an eye or into the vitreous body due to a violation of the integrity of the Zinn ligaments that hold the lens in a normal position. There are two different methods for dislocated lenses removing ― the «open sky» surgery technique or the ultrasonic phacoemulsification. According to results and clinical analysis of the lens dislocation surgery in small pets we have identified that using the «open sky» surgery is the optimal method for lens dislocation surgery in the anterior chamber in aged cats and dogs or pets with severe somatic pathology. Our technique of surgery with performing diamond microsurgery is more efficient and perfect, requires much less time than phacoemulsification. It optimizes the stages of the operation, minimizes complications and significantly improves the results of operations.
Ca2+ channel-forming ORAI proteins: cancer foes or cancer allies?
Authors: Shuba Ya.M.
Published: October 2019

Summary. The ORAI family of ion channel-forming proteins in mammals includes three members, ORAI1, ORAI2 and ORAI3, encoded by homologous genes. Of these proteins the ORAI1 one received major attention as plasma membrane constituent of store-operated calcium entry (SOCE) in non-excitable cells. The functional significance of two other proteins, ORAI2 and ORAI3, is much less defined, although both of them participate to various extends in cell-specific modulation of SOCE as well as in supporting some of the store-independent calcium entry mechanisms. Calcium signaling becomes remodeled in cancer to promote cancer hallmarks — enhanced proliferation, resistance to apoptosis, motility and metastasizing. Although such remodeling commonly involves rearrangements of the whole molecular Ca2+-handling toolkit of the cell (Ca2+ pumps and transporters, Ca2+-binding and storage proteins, Ca2+ entry and release channels, Ca2+-dependent effectors), Ca2+ entry through Orai-based channels is especially important, as its dysregulation may contribute to several cancer hallmarks. The latter depend on the type of Ca2+-permeable channel formed by ORAI-proteins, spatiotemporal characteristics of Ca2+ signal that this channel contributes to, and the type Ca2+-dependent effector(s) targeted by this signal, all of which may be cancer-specific. By participating in global Ca2+ entry, ORAI-based SOCE may also contribute to cytosolic Ca2+ overload of cancer cells thereby playing pro-apoptotic, antineoplastic roles which can potentially be exploited for cancer treatment. This mini review examines various aspects of ORAI proteins in malignant transformation.
