Published: May 2020

The academic editor has been, and still is, the gatekeeper of peer-reviewed scientific publications, by being whom, ultimately, defines whether or not a manuscript can be published. At a time of profound transformation in the context of scientific publication (digital publishing, open access, preprint, open peer review,...) and the expectations, inside and outside academia, towards academic publication, this perspective paper aims to add to the discussion of the (re)formulation of the academic editor’s role, considering that he or she, in this panoply of changes, continues, and will continue to be, the ultimate guardian of the scientific quality of what is published.

Published: May 2020

The conceptual foundations, principles and mechanisms of territorial branding concerning the prospects of rural development in different countries are the subject of the study. The systematization and study of territorial branding problems and experience of the rural areas in Ukraine is the purpose of the paper. The main method of research was the study of the unique experience of individual rural communities. The methodology of the study foresaw the study of the prospects of rural development through the determining the role of territorial branding. Monitoring the potential of territorial branding for rural areas in Ukraine with using SWOT-analysis has shown the uniqueness of risks, limitations and prospects. It had been established that the conditions of neutralization of weaknesses and risks mean the combination of economic (primarily investment), cultural and political initiatives, where a significant role belongs to the effects of community self-organization. At the same time, the prospects are formed from the presence of unique institutional assets, natural, climatic and economic conditions, possible perception of this idea by ​​the rural population which does not contradict the basic cultural values. The emphasis is placed on the fact that the realization of rural development in Ukraine as a national policy should take into account that Ukrainian rural communities remain "difficult", mostly depressed economies, where the level of economic activity is traditionally low and unemployment is high. At the same time, studying the experience of the effectiveness of territorial branding had allowed to generalize and to classify the factors of brand-forming idea in Ukraine. These factors are: 1) a unique institutional history; 2) landscape and recreational potential; 3) special economic behavior of local inhabitants; 4) investment attractiveness of the territory; 5) unique economic specialization of the territory; 6) tourism activity; 7) the role of local government. Significant socio-economic effect of these examples is fixed. The area of ​​application of these results is the activity of local authorities at rural communities, non-governmental organizations and universities, regulatory policy in terms of decentralization.
Study Demands, Social Support and Mental Health in Teacher Education Students: A Cross-Sectional Study
Authors: Söderberg Mia , Andersson Eva M , Björk Lisa , Wastensson Gunilla
Published: May 2020

The aim of this paper was to investigate relationships between psychosocial factors in a study environment and mental health in teacher education students. Study objectives were explored in 593 Swedish teacher education students (80% women). Psychosocial variables were measured with the standard Swedish demand-control-support questionnaire. Associations to mental health were calculated with logistic regression analyses, stratified by gender. Female students, on average reported higher demands, exhaustion and anxiety, than men. High study demands were associated with severe exhaustion in both men and women, even in models including all potential confounders and social support. Although, social support was related to lower exhaustion in women and less anxiety in men, this variable only contributed to minor effect changes in the associations study demands to mental ill-health. High study demands seem important for mental health in teacher education students. Future studies, perhaps using qualitative methods, would benefit the state of knowledge regarding students’ psychosocial conditions and poor mental health. Such knowledge could assist universities in interventions to enhance both health status and future stress resilience.

Authors: Al-zoubi Emad Mohamad
Published: May 2020

The study aimed to investigate the social identity formation status (achievement, moratorium, foreclosure, and diffusion) and identify the relationship between identity formation and attachment patterns (secure, anxiety, and avoidant). The second aim is to detect differences according to the demographic background of the higher education students (the education year and birth order). The study sample consisted of 203 students enrolled in the Balqa’a applied university in Jordan. Two scales were used to achieve purposes of study the psychological identity status scale and attachment patterns scale. The study outcomes asserted that there is a statistically significant difference in the foreclosure identity status among the first-year and fourth-year students in favor of the first year. Likewise, there are statistically significant differences in the diffusion identity status among the first-year, third-year, and fourth-year students in favor of the first-year students. And there are statistically significant differences in the achievement identity status due to the interaction of the education year and birth order. Moreover, the study results indicated a positive proportional and statistically significant relationship between secure attachment and achievement identity. There is a statistically significant relationship between anxiety attachment and the three formation status of social identity (achievement, foreclosure, and diffusion). And there are statistically significant relationships between avoidant attachment and all formation status of social identity (achievement, foreclosure, and diffusion). These relationships are negative to achievement and moratorium identities and positive to foreclosure and diffusion identities.

Pre-school children are called the golden age because children will experience developments including motor development, language, social and intellectual (cognitive) adaptation. Children's cognitive development develops very well one of them by playing. Playing is an effective learning process and is more easily accepted. Playing puzzle is one of the educational games that can improve cognitive development of preschoolers. The purpose of the study is to determine the effect of playing puzzles on cognitive development of preschool children (4-5 years). This type of research is one group pre-post test. The population of all preschoolers in Paud Garuda Surabaya is 21 children. Large sample of 20 respondents, purposive sampling technique sampling. Data was taken using an observation sheet in the form of a checklist and analyzed with the Wilcoxon test. The results showed that before being given a puzzle game half of the respondents had sufficient cognitive development (50.0%) and after being given a puzzle game intervention almost all respondents had good cognitive development (90.0%). Wilcoxon statistical test results obtained p value = 0,000 <α = 0.05 which means that there is an effect of playing puzzles on cognitive development of children aged 4-5 years at Paud Garuda Surabaya. Learning media in the form of puzzle games in Garuda Surabaya Paud have a positive influence on children's cognitive development. This can be seen in the increasing number of children aged 4-5 years who have good cognitive abilities after being given a puzzle game intervention. It is expected that teachers provide media for learning for preschoolers with more varied games so that children are not bored and are able to stimulate cognitive development better.

We study the functional properties of weak (p,q)-quasiconformal homeomorphisms such as Liouville-type theorems, the global integrability, and the Hölder continuity. The proof of Liouville-type theorems is based on the duality property of weak (p,q)-quasiconformal homeomorphisms.
On compressions of self-adjoint extensions of a symmetric linear relation with unequal deficiency indices
Authors: Mogilevskii Vadim
Published: May 2020

Let $A$ be a symmetric linear relation in the Hilbert space $\gH$ with unequal deficiency indices $n_-A <n_+(A)$. A self-adjoint linear relation $\wt A\supset A$ in some Hilbert space $\wt\gH\supset \gH$ is called an (exit space) extension of $A$. We study the compressions $C (\wt A)=P_\gH\wt A\up\gH$ of extensions $\wt A=\wt A^*$. Our main result is a description of compressions $C (\wt A)$ by means of abstract boundary conditions, which are given in terms of a limit value of the Nevanlinna parameter $\tau(\l)$ from the Krein formula for generalized resolvents. We describe also all extensions $\wt A=\wt A^*$ of $A$ with the maximal symmetric compression $C (\wt A)$ and all extensions $\wt A=\wt A^*$ of the second kind in the sense of M.A. Naimark. These results generalize the recent results by A. Dijksma, H. Langer and the author obtained for symmetric operators $A$ with equal deficiency indices $n_+(A)=n_-(A)$.
"Shadows Like to Thee": Modern Writers on the Character of William Shakespeare
Authors: Hickman Alan Forrest
Published: May 2020

A swarm of books boasting William Shakespeare as a central character have hit the bookstands in recent years. The question is, why? In some books he is rather insipid, as if his brand is too hot to tamper with, and he is reduced to the status of a sacred cow. In other books he is too busy fighting for truth and justice to be bothered with taking up the quill, while in others, he is an opportunistic “Shake-scene” who has no qualms about “beautifying” himself with his contemporaries’ feathers. I propose to look at such works in the aggregate and determine the basic character traits that modern scribes attribute to our Will. My journey will take me primarily to novels (of the historical fiction school), but I shall be stopping along the way to consider works in other media, including a recent TV series, that also feature the Bard. Among the novelists included in my study are Patricia Finney (The James Enys Mysteries), Rory Clements (The John Shakespeare Mysteries), Benet Brandreth (The William Shakespeare Mysteries), and Leonard Tourney (The Mysteries of Shakespeare).

Pengendalian Tunneling Dalam Asset Utilization: Sebuah Tinjauan Teoritis
Authors: Herdinata Christian
Published: May 2020

Johnson et al. (2000) define tunneling as the transfer of resources out of the company for the benefit of controlling shareholders. This study will focus on institutional ownership and debt policy which will be further investigated as a control mechanism that occurs in asset utilization and has an impact on company performance.  The  results  of  the  theoretical  review  of  this  study,  namely institutional ownership and debt policy can control tunneling in asset utilization. Control mechanisms through institutional ownership of company performance can occur because institutional shareholders are very interested in company performance because a large portion of institutional shareholders' wealth is directly related to the company's wealth. The control is relevant to the owner because it is related to wealth that is tied to the company it owns, so that through increasing the proportion of institutional ownership it can reduce agency costs that arise, especially in the case of asset utilization of the company through supervision carried out. The control mechanism through debt policy on company performance can occur because the debt policy is carried out by the owner by transferring it to the banks or creditors to conduct supervision so as to maximize the performance of the company. The control becomes relevant because it is related to funds lent by banks or creditors to the company so that the company is expected to be able to pay interest and principal loans when due.
Suzuki–Miyaura cross coupling is not an informative reaction to demonstrate the performance of new solvents
Authors: Sherwood James
Published: May 2020

The development and study of new solvents has become important due to a proliferation of regulations preventing or limiting the use of many conventional solvents. In this work, the suitability of the Suzuki–Miyaura reaction to demonstrate the usefulness of new solvents was evaluated, including Cyrene™, dimethyl isosorbide, ethyl lactate, 2-methyltetrahydrofuran (2-MeTHF), propylene carbonate, and γ-valerolactone (GVL). It was found that the cross coupling is often unaffected by the choice of solvent, and therefore the Suzuki–Miyaura reaction provides limited information regarding the usefulness of any particular solvent for organic synthesis.

The purpose of this paper is to compare the potential and funding amount of startups financing in Vietnam during the period of 2010 – 2018. Probit regression is employed to clarify the differences in fundraising potential among some industries. In addition, linear regression is applied to investigate the capacity of startups financing. The finding shows that startups in financial technology (fintech) and e-commerce have advantages in raising capital. Furthermore, startups in service technology dominate the capacity of raising money. In addition, the study shows that the older of startups age, the higher potential and capacity of outside financing. The study attributes valuable results to both academic and practical fields. Entrepreneurs can, thus, seize opportunities successfully in new ventures.

Accurate photometric redshift (photo-z) estimates are essential to the cosmological science goals of the Vera C. Rubin Observatory Legacy Survey of Space and Time (LSST). In this work, we use simulated photometry for mock galaxy catalogs to explore how LSST photo-z estimates can be improved by the addition of near-infrared (NIR) and/or ultraviolet (UV) photometry from the Euclid, Wide-Field InfrarRed Survey Telescope (WFIRST), and/or Cosmological Advanced Survey Telescope for Optical and ultraviolet Research (CASTOR) space telescopes. Generally, we find that deeper optical photometry can reduce the standard deviation of the photo-z estimates more than adding NIR or UV filters but that additional filters are the only way to significantly lower the fraction of galaxies with catastrophically under- or overestimated photo-z. For Euclid, we find that the addition of JH 5σ photometric detections can reduce the standard deviation for galaxies with z > 1 (z > 0.3) by ∼20% (∼10%), and the fraction of outliers by ∼40% (∼25%). For WFIRST, we show how the addition of deep YJHK photometry could reduce the standard deviation by ≳50% at z > 1.5 and drastically reduce the fraction of outliers to just ∼2% overall. For CASTOR, we find that the addition of its UV- and u-band photometry could reduce the standard deviation by ∼30% and the fraction of outliers by ∼50% for galaxies with z < 0.5. We also evaluate the photo-z results within sky areas that overlap with both the NIR and UV surveys and when spectroscopic training sets built from the surveys’ small-area deep fields are used.

Gnomoniopsis chinensis (Gnomoniaceae, Diaporthales), a new fungus causing canker of Chinese chestnut in Hebei Province, China
Authors: Jiang Ning , Liang Ling-Yu , Tian Cheng-Ming
Published: May 2020

Chinese chestnut (Castanea mollissima) is an important crop tree species in China. However, branch canker and fruit rot are two kinds of severe diseases, which weaken the host and decrease chestnut production. During our investigations into chestnut diseases in China, several fungi have been confirmed as casual agents in previous studies, namely Aurantiosacculus castaneae, Cryphonectria neoparasitica, Cry. parasitica, Endothia chinensis and Gnomoniopsis daii. In this study, a new canker pathogen is introduced based on morphology, phylogeny and pathogenicity. Typical Gnomoniopsis canker sign of wide, orange tendrils emerging from hosts’ glaucous lenticels were obvious on the diseased trees in the field. Symptomatic branches or bark on stems from different chestnut plantations were sampled and isolated, then strains were identified by comparisons of DNA sequence data for the nuclear ribosomal internal transcribed spacer (ITS), partial translation elongation factor-1α (tef1) and β-tubulin (tub2) gene regions as well as morphological features. As a result, these strains appeared different from any known Gnomoniopsis species. Hence, we propose a novel species named Gnomoniopsis chinensis. Pathogenicity was further tested using the ex-type strain (CFCC 52286) and another strain (CFCC 52288) on both detached branches and 3-year-old chestnut seedlings. The inoculation results showed that Gnomoniopsis chinensis is mildly pathogenic to Chinese chestnut. However, further studies are required to confirm its pathogenicity to the other cultivated Castanea species in America, Europe and Japan.

Silicon-containing (Si-containing) polishing paste has been tested clinically in patients with chronic generalized periodontitis, I-st degree of severity. All patients have been examined for the presence of supra- and sub-gingival calculus and bleeding on probing on a six- month-testing time and within one year after conducting the professional hygienic procedures. It has been revealed that the proposed Si-containing polishing paste proved to be effective in the maintenance of gingival health in the lapse of time from 1 to 12 months after treatment. The majority of patients showed neither dental deposits nor bleeding on probing up in the interval from 1 to 12 months after dental scaling and polishing with Si-containing polishing paste.

Aim. The aim of study was to develop a simple and accurate procedure that could be applied for the determination of impurities and degradation products in cardiazol.

Materials and methods. Separation in samples was carried out with Acquity H-class UPLC system (Waters, Milford, USA) equipped with Acquity UPLC BEH C18 column (2.1 × 50 mm, 1.7 μm) (Waters, Milford, USA). Xevo TQD triple quadrupole mass spectrometer detector (Waters Millford, USA) was used to obtain MS/MS data. Mobile phase A: 0.1% solution of trifluoroacetic acid R in water R; Mobile phase B: acetonitrile R. Samples were chromatographed in gradient mode (Table 1). Flow rate of the mobile phase: 1 ml / min. Column temperature: 30 °С. Detection: at 240 nm wavelength. Injection volume: 10 μl.

Results. The retention time of the main substance is about 18.5 minutes. The order of the peak, the retention times and relative retention times: impurity B (12.04, 0.65); impurity А (18.5; 0.98); Cardiazol (18.87; 1.00). The LOD and LOQ values obtained were in the range of 30 ng/mL to 100 ng/mL and 80 ng/mL to 310 ng/mL respectively (with respect to sample concentration of 2 mg/ml). Linearity was established in the range of LOQ level to 0.2% having regression coefficients in the range of 0.9996 to 0.9999. The change in the temperature of the column affects the degree of separation of cardiazol and the impurity A, and thus, with a decrease of 5 ° C, the degree of separation is (1.06), while with increasing this index (3.43). When changing the flow rate of the mobile phase, the degree of separation changes in the following order, with a decrease to 0.9 ml / min separation (1.90), with an increase in speed to 1.1 ml / min (2.45). When the number of mobile phase B decreases by 5%, the degree of separation varies by (2.65), with an increase of 5% (1.82). In comparison with the chromatogram of the tested solution, the substance is not resistant to the action of peroxide, alkaline and acid decomposition.

La démocratie épistémique : une perspective condorcétienne
Authors: Roussin Juliette
Published: May 2020

Quelles sont les implications de la philosophie de Condorcet pour les théories épistémiques de la démocratie ? Ces dernières réduisent souvent l’argument épistémique de Condorcet en faveur de la démocratie au théorème du jury. Or le philosophe montre que c’est seulement quand elle devient le vecteur de l’indépendance politique, économique et intellectuelle des citoyens que ses vertus épistémiques se font jour. En se concentrant sur les procédures de décision susceptibles de favoriser de bons résultats politiques, les approches contemporaines ne proposent qu’une analyse partielle des embarras démocratiques, et se privent de bases pour un argument épistémique plausible en faveur de la démocratie.
Bibliothèque et Archives nationales du Québec (BAnQ)

Bibliothèque et Archives nationales du Québec (BAnQ) est la plus importante institution culturelle de langue française en Amérique du Nord. Elle fédère trois institutions : la Bibliothèque nationale du Québec, ses Archives nationales, et la Grande Bibliothèque, à la fois bibliothèque centrale des Montréalais et grande bibliothèque publique de tous les Québécois. Chacune d’entre elles est au cœur de riches réseaux ancrés dans leurs racines historiques. Toutes trois entretiennent des liens puissants avec les milieux documentaires, patrimoniaux et culturels du Québec, et contribuent à l’essor des services et de l’offre documentaire, notamment numérique.
Les bibliothécaires universitaires, pédagogues de l’écosystème socionumérique de l’information
Authors: Lapointe Jean-Michel , Castonguay Rémi
Published: May 2020

Depuis 2017, les bibliothécaires de l’Université du Québec à Montréal ont lancé un vaste chantier de travail visant à actualiser et élargir la composante pédagogique de leur travail à la lumière de l’évolution de l’écosystème socionumérique de l’information d’aujourd’hui. Ce repositionnement majeur a ceci de singulier qu’il suppose un décentrement par rapport à la bibliothèque afin de considérer l’environnement plus général dans lequel elle s’insère. Les bibliothécaires se trouvent ainsi à saisir l’opportunité qu’offre l’importance désormais centrale de former à la littératie numérique dans le système d’éducation contemporain, et ce, en cherchant à favoriser l’appropriation des usages savants et populaires de la culture numérique.
L’influence d’ARMA International
Authors: Ménard Chantal
Published: May 2020

Comment faire face aux changements apportés par la transformation numérique des organisations et des entreprises ? L’avenir des professionnels de l’information passe par la gestion de l’information mais plus encore, par sa gouvernance. Multidisciplinaire et proactive, cette gouvernance de l’information demande aux experts de la gestion documentaire d’ouvrir leur horizon, de prendre le leadership pour conduire les entreprises et les organisations vers davantage de conformité et de performance. Au Québec, la notion et la pratique de cette gouvernance sont fortement influencées par l’association d’experts et de professionnels ARMA International, qui en a défini le cadre, les principes et la méthodologie.

Corps obèse, corps sexué et processus de différenciation familial à l’adolescence
Authors: Bernard Alexandra , Mayet Élie
Published: May 2020

Les auteures se sont interrogées sur la question des remaniements psychiques sous-jacents au processus d’amaigrissement chez des adolescents obèses accueillis en centre spécialisé durant une année scolaire. Dans un contexte d’internat où les jeunes sont séparés de leur milieu familial, le processus d’amaigrissement engagé par le traitement médical s’associe à la mise en scène de manifestations comportementales à valence sexuelle exacerbées semblables chez ces adolescents. Les professionnels sont alors plus en difficulté pour apporter une contenance groupale, et les débordements pulsionnels des jeunes attaquent le cadre, de manière récurrente et parfois même de manière violente. Quel sens pouvons-nous alors donner, dans ce passage du corps gros au corps sexué, dans cette période spécifique de l’adolescence, au côté massif et soudain de ces comportements de débordements pulsionnels qui font irruption sur la scène groupale et individuelle et qui attaquent le cadre ?
L’expérience de la maternité en contexte d’immigration récente au Québec
Authors: Dufour-Turbis Christine , Hamelin-Brabant Louise
Published: May 2020

Objectif : Présenter les résultats d’une étude portant sur l’expérience de la maternité en contexte d’immigration récente au Québec. Méthode : Des entrevues semi-dirigées ont été menées auprès de mères provenant de divers pays, ayant immigré depuis moins de cinq ans. L’analyse développementale de contenu de L’Écuyer (1990) a été utilisée pour analyser les données. Résultats : Les données recueillies auprès de 15 participantes indiquent que le rôle maternel est perçu comme une grande responsabilité. En période postnatale, les participantes développent leur autonomie comme mères, mais souffrent d’un grand isolement, et n’ont souvent que leur conjoint sur qui compter. La maternité leur fait ainsi vivre des émotions diverses, telles que le bonheur, l’anxiété ou la tristesse. Leur niveau de détresse varie selon les représentations qu’elles se font de leur maternité et de leur immigration. Pour assurer leur bien-être, elles gardent contact avec leur milieu d’origine et recourent aux services professionnels disponibles. Conclusion : Le passage vers la maternité constitue un grand bouleversement dans la vie de ces femmes. Isolées socialement, les responsabilités qui leur incombent paraissent encore plus intenses. Le conjoint, considéré comme un allié, prend ainsi une place capitale auprès d’elles. Elles font difficilement confiance aux Québécois, mais certains services sont très appréciés : la visite de l’infirmière à domicile, le guide « Mieux vivre avec notre enfant », la ligne Info-Santé. Il serait pertinent que des recherches futures explorent davantage la réalité des pères immigrants, et qu’un plus grand nombre de visites de l’infirmière soit envisagé pour les femmes les moins bien intégrées et qui perçoivent l’immigration de façon négative.
Santé des adolescents de 10 à 14 ans à Kinshasa et Ouagadougou : risques et opportunités

Published: May 2020

Introduction : Cette recherche s’intéresse aux transformations sociales en Afrique francophone, en particulier à l’urbanisation et à la révolution des modes de communication, ainsi qu’à leur influence sur le mode de vie des jeunes adolescents, à Ouagadougou (Burkina Faso) et Kinshasa (République Démocratique du Congo). L’objectif est d’examiner les opportunités, les défis et les risques liés aux transformations sociales ainsi que les perceptions qui s’y rattachent, selon le genre des adolescents. Méthode : Cette étude qualitative, réalisée en 2015, utilise des données collectées à l’aide des entretiens semi-directifs avec 64 adolescents de 10 à 14 ans et leurs parents/tuteurs à Ouagadougou et à Kinshasa. L’analyse a suivi un processus déductif et inductif pour identifier la façon dont les changements sociétaux ouvrent de nouvelles possibilités qui sont associées à des risques pour les adolescents, filles et garçons. Résultats : Selon les participants, l’adolescence s’accompagne de plus d’opportunités que par le passé. L’autonomisation/la liberté, l’accès à l’éducation formelle et l’accès à l’information s’accompagnent aussi de risques accrus qui sont différenciés selon le genre. Les filles sont exposées à une augmentation des risques sexuels, tandis que les garçons sont exposés aux violences et à la prise d’alcool. Conclusion : Nos résultats illustrent la manière dont les transformations sociétales en Afrique francophone affectent la socialisation au genre des jeunes adolescents. Les changements de mode de vie et les risques qui y sont associés appellent des programmes adaptés aux filles et aux garçons, en exploitant les nouveaux outils de la communication pour élargir leur accès à l’information.
Atlantiphoxus wajapi n. gen., n. sp. (Crustacea: Amphipoda: Phoxocephalidae), a new deep-sea amphipod from the southwestern Atlantic
Authors: Andrade Luiz F. , Senna André R.
Published: May 2020

A new genus and species of the family Phoxocephalidae is here described with material collected during the Mini Biological Trawl Project at 224 and 500 m depth off Brazil’s southeastern coast in the states of Rio de Janeiro and São Paulo. Atlantiphoxus wajapi n. gen., n. sp. can be grouped in the subfamily Phoxocephalinae and seems to be morphologically close to Fuegiphoxus Barnard and Barnard, 1980 and Parharpinia Stebbing, 1899. However it can be easily distinguished within the phoxocephalids by the following characters: deep pereonites with small coxae; rostrum unconstricted; eyes absent; man­dible molar not triturative, but as a small hump with 3 multicuspidate stout setae; pereopods 3-4 with stout dactylus; pereopod 5 basis strongly tapering distally; pereopod 7 basis anterodistal corner with a row of long plumose setae; dactylus elongate. Epimeral plate 3 posteroventral margin strongly produced.
Costimulation Blockade Disrupts CD4+ T Cell Memory Pathways and Uncouples Their Link to Decline in β-Cell Function in Type 1 Diabetes

We previously reported that costimulation blockade by abatacept limits the decline of β-cell function and the frequency of circulating CD4+ central memory T cells (TCM) (CD45RO+CD62L+) in new-onset type 1 diabetes. In human subjects receiving placebo, we found a significant association between an increase in CD4+ TCM cells and the decline of β-cell function. To extend and refine these findings, we examined changes in human CD4+ and CD8+ naive and memory T cell subsets at greater resolution using polychromatic flow and mass cytometry. In the placebo group, we successfully reproduced the original finding of a significant association between TCM and β-cell function and extended this to other T cell subsets. Furthermore, we show that abatacept treatment significantly alters the frequencies of a majority of CD4+ conventional and regulatory T cell subsets; in general, Ag-naive subsets increase and Ag-experienced subsets decrease, whereas CD8+ T cell subsets are relatively resistant to drug effects, indicating a lesser reliance on CD28-mediated costimulation. Importantly, abatacept uncouples the relationship between changes in T cell subsets and β-cell function that is a component of the natural history of the disease. Although these data suggest immunological markers for predicting change in β-cell function in type 1 diabetes, the finding that abatacept blunts this relationship renders the biomarkers nonpredictive for this type of therapy. In sum, our findings point to a novel mechanism of action for this successful immunotherapy that may guide other disease-modifying approaches for type 1 diabetes.
