GATA transcription factors (TFs) play a significant role in regulating many plant physiological processes. The GATA TF family has been identified and characterized in many important crop species. However, no information is available on the GATA TFs in cassava (Manihot esculenta). In this study, 36 MeGATA genes have been comprehensively identified, annotated, and characterized in the cassava genome using various bioinformatics tools. The gene structure and duplication of the MeGATA genes indicated the redundancy and differences in their gene structural organization. The GATA TFs in cassava could divide into three different groups, as in other plant species. Interestingly, the expression levels of the MeGATA genes were significantly changed in various major organs/tissues in the growth and development, especially in response to adverse environmental conditions. Taken together, this study could propose a list of candidate genes for further functional characterization of stress-inducible MeGATA genes in cassava.
Keywords: GATA, transcription factor, identification, gene duplication, cassava, expression, characterization.

Binding of response-independent task rules
Authors: Schiltenwolf Moritz , Dignath David , Hazeltine Eliot
Published: February 2024

Binding theories claim that features of an episode are bound to each other and can be retrieved once these features are re-encountered. Binding effects have been shown in task-switching studies with a strong focus on bindings of observable features such as responses. In this study, we aimed to investigate whether task rules, translating stimulus information into motor output can be bound and subsequently retrieved even if they act independently from specific response codes. To address this question, we utilized a task-switching paradigm with varying visual context features. Unlike previous studies, tasks in the present study did not differ in their response options, and sequential response repetitions were eliminated by design. In three experiments, we observed larger task-switch costs on trials repeating the context of the previous trial than on context-change trials. According to binding accounts, this suggests that response-independent task rules adopted in the previous trial became bound to the context feature and were retrieved upon re-encountering the context feature in the current trial. The results of this study generalize previous findings indicating that binding processes can include response-independent control to task-switching situations.

Published: February 2024

Main problem: For several years, the state has been trying to reduce bureaucratic processes with entrepreneurs, make accounting transparent, reliable and with less labor costs. At the moment, without digitalization in accounting, it is impossible to predict the further development of trade and economic relations in general, since it significantly affects the sale, movement and shipment of goods. The gradual transition of the economy of the Republic of Kazakhstan to the path of digitalization can be considered the most important condition for the development of both the country’s economy and the Eurasian Economic Union. Digital inspection is the process of monitoring goods using digital systems, which helps reduce the risk of human error. In the context of digitalization, work with documentation should be structured in such a way that access to them is ensured throughout the entire limitation period, thereby facilitating the taxpayer in making the right economic decisions. The purpose of this article is to consider the gradual integration of digitalization into the field of accounting for both small and medium-sized businesses, and also to consider its impact on the business processes of organizations. The main objective of the article is to consider the introduction of digitalization into business processes and possible problems during its integration, as well as to identify ways to eliminate them without losses for both the state and small and medium-sized businesses. Methods: In the course of writing this article, a dialectical approach was mainly used, which made it possible to examine in detail the process of reflecting and controlling document flow when moving goods in the context of digitalization. Approaching the issue theoretically and summarizing practical experience, it was possible to identify the positive and negative aspects of accounting and control of the movement of goods on the territory of the Republic of Kazakhstan and beyond its borders in the conditions of rapidly developing digitalization. Results and their significance: This article reflects the main directions of modernization of accounting and operational accounting in Kazakhstan in the context of the progressive digitalization of the economy. The necessity of creating an information environment for managing economic processes and optimizing the operational activities of an enterprise is substantiated, and the positive and negative aspects of the integration of various information systems and modules for maintaining accounting and operational records at an enterprise are considered.

Authors:   Department of Internal Medicine, Kanazawa Seirei Hospital, Naga-machi, Kanazawa, Japan, Doi Tatsurou
Published: February 2024

Background. Degenerative cervical myelopathy (DCM) is poorly recognized and infrequently diagnosed. Objectives. To identify symptoms or signs in the lower extremities physically and radiologically in outpatients with DCM. Methods. In 2023, a retrospective cohort study was performed to review the medical records from 2016 to 2020. A total of 28 (24 women) patients were included. All patients were physically examined. Sagittal magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of the cervical spinal canal was performed and its anteroposterior diameter was calculated in patients with hyperreflexia and/or gait disorder. Results. Sixteen (13 women) patients presented with symptoms or signs in the lower extremities only (group A) and 12 patients (11 women) presented with those in the upper and lower extremities (group B). The mean [SD] ages were 70.06 [17.49] and 58.67 [11.80] years, respectively. Pseudo-polyneuropathic patterns of sensory dysfunction in the lower extremities were identified in 14 patients (88%) of group A and 11 patients (92%) of group B. Also, 16 patients (100%) of group A and 11 patients (92%) of group B presented with hyperreflexia of the triceps and/or patellar tendons. Sagittal MRI showed a minimum value of stenosis at the C5-6 level in 9 patients (56%) of group A and 7 patients (58%) of group B. The mean [SD] anteroposterior diameters at the most stenotic level in patients of groups A and B were 9.63 [2.02] and 10.17 [1.23] mm, respectively. Conclusion. Hyperreflexia of the triceps and/or patellar tendons is one of the most important neurological findings to suspect DCM.

Rethinking Cognitive Psycho-education -4T Model- in the Psychotherapy of Religious Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder: Report of Three Resistant Cases
Authors: TOPRAK Taha Burak
Published: February 2024

Obsessive Compulsive Disorder is one of the most resistant disorders in the field of psychopathology. As this disorder challenges clinicians in pharmacological treatments; In psychotherapies, it brings together resistance in the areas of therapeutic alliance and healing. ERP, which is the gold standard, also fails when a full consensus cannot be achieved in the cognitive process. The Vesvese Treatise, was written for people with religious obsessions. The 4T Model (the first letters of the four cognitive levels in Turkish), adapted from the content of this work, was integrated into the classical treatment rationale of patients with CBT, and by using it in the fields of "formation and source of obsession", "normalization" and "cognitive restructuring", the stage of individualization of the CBT model for the patient was provided on the 4T model. The results obtained in 4 OCD Resistant Cases treated with this method showed that the model made a significant difference especially in the field of "thought-action fusion", and that it was convincing and practical in the "cognitive restructuring" process with the hierarchy of thought it presented.

We complete the analysis of planetary candidates found by the KMT AnomalyFinder for the 2017 prime fields that cover ∼13 deg2. We report three unambiguous planets: OGLE-2017-BLG-0640, OGLE-2017-BLG-1275, and OGLE-2017-BLG-1237. The first two of these were not previously identified, while the last was not previously published due to technical complications induced by a nearby variable. We further report that a fourth anomalous event, the previously recognized OGLE-2017-BLG-1777, is very likely to be planetary, although its light curve requires unusually complex modeling because the lens and source both have orbiting companions. One of the three unambiguous planets, OGLE-2017-BLG-1275, is the first AnomalyFinder discovery that has a Spitzer microlens parallax measurement, π
E ≃ 0.045 ± 0.015, implying that this planetary system almost certainly lies in the Galactic bulge. In the order listed, the four planetary events have planet-host mass ratios q and normalized projected separations s of

Combined with previously published events, the 2017 prime fields contain 11 unambiguous planets with well-measured q and one very likely candidate, of which three are AnomalyFinder discoveries. In addition to these 12, there are three other unambiguous planets with large uncertainties in q.

Detailed variability and spectral analyses of γ-ray, X-ray, and ultraviolet/optical data obtained by the Fermi Large Area Telescope, the Swift X-ray Telescope, and the Swift Ultraviolet and Optical Telescope were performed over a period of about 14 yr, spanning from 2008 October to 2022 October. These analyses provide insights into characterizing the variations within different activity states. To efficiently reproduce the multiwavelength simultaneous/quasi-simultaneous spectral energy distributions (SEDs) of the samples, we propose a novel approach for constraining the model parameters. By analyzing the parameters of the energy spectral curvature (β), the peak frequency (ν
pk), the peak luminosity (L
pk), the Compton dominance parameter (A
C), and the variability timescale (t
var) in different activity states, we can estimate the values of the jet radiation region parameters for the samples. Subsequently, we utilize the synchrotron-self-Compton and external Compton processes, employing a logarithmic-parabolic spectral shape to approximate the observed spectra of the sample sources, while considering the induced regime for the physical parameters. The model results show that: (1) by effectively reproducing SEDs in various active states of bright FSRQs, the parameters within the emission region were reasonably constrained; (2) compared to other active states, the emission region of the jet exhibits a reduced radius during the high state, while the magnetic field strength increases during the low state; and (3) for bright FSRQs in a high-activity state, there is an enhancement of the Doppler factor, often exhibiting a tendency toward energy equipartition.
A New Cosmic-Ray Rejection Routine for HST WFC3/UVIS via Label-free Training of deepCR

deepCR is a deep-learning-based cosmic-ray (CR) rejection framework originally presented by Zhang & Bloom. The original approach requires a dedicated training set that consists of multiple frames of the same fields, enabling automatic CR labeling through comparison with their median coadds. Here, we present a novel training approach that circumvents the need for a dedicated training set, but instead utilizes dark frames and the science images requiring CR removal themselves. During training, CRs present in dark frames are added to the science images, which the network is then trained to identify. In turn, the trained deepCR model can then be applied to identify CRs originally present in the science images. Using this approach, we present a new deepCR model trained on a diverse set of Hubble Space Telescope images taken from resolved galaxies in the Local Group, which is universally applicable across all WFC3/UVIS filters. We introduce a robust approach to determining the threshold for generating binary cosmic-ray masks from predictions from deepCR probability maps. When applied to the Panchromatic Hubble Andromeda Southern Treasury survey, our new deepCR model added ∼7% of good-quality stars that exhibit distinct features in their color–magnitude diagrams.

We present a population of 11 of the faintest (>25.5 AB mag) short gamma-ray burst (GRB) host galaxies. We model their sparse available observations using the stellar population inference code Prospector-β and develop a novel implementation to incorporate the galaxy mass–radius relation. Assuming these hosts are randomly drawn from the galaxy population and conditioning this draw on their observed flux and size in a few photometric bands, we determine that these hosts have dwarf galaxy stellar masses of

. This is striking as only 14% of short GRB hosts with previous inferred stellar masses had M

⊙. We further show these short GRBs have smaller physical and host-normalized offsets than the rest of the population, suggesting that the majority of their neutron star (NS) merger progenitors were retained within their hosts. The presumably shallow potentials of these hosts translate to small escape velocities of ∼5.5–80 km s−1, indicative of either low postsupernova systemic velocities or short inspiral times. While short GRBs with identified dwarf host galaxies now comprise ≈14% of the total Swift-detected population, a number are likely missing in the current population, as larger systemic velocities (observed from the Galactic NS population) would result in highly offset short GRBs and less secure host associations. However, the revelation of a population of short GRBs retained in low-mass host galaxies offers a natural explanation for the observed r-process enrichment via NS mergers in Local Group dwarf galaxies, and has implications for gravitational-wave follow-up strategies.
Where Did the Amaterasu Particle Come From?
Authors: Unger Michael , Farrar Glennys R.
Published: February 2024

The Telescope Array Collaboration recently reported the detection of a cosmic-ray particle, “Amaterasu,” with an extremely high energy of 2.4 × 1020 eV. Here we investigate its probable charge and the locus of its production. Interpreted as a primary iron nucleus or slightly stripped fragment, the event fits well within the existing paradigm for UHECR composition and spectrum. Using the most up-to-date modeling of the Galactic magnetic field strength and structure, and taking into account uncertainties, we identify the likely volume from which it originated. We estimate a localization uncertainty on the source direction of 6.6% of 4π or 2726 deg2. The uncertainty of magnetic deflections and the experimental energy uncertainties contribute about equally to the localization uncertainty. The maximum source distance is 8–50 Mpc, with the range reflecting the uncertainty on the energy assignment. We provide sky maps showing the localization region of the event and superimpose the location of galaxies of different types. There are no candidate sources among powerful radio galaxies. An origin in active galactic nuclei or star-forming galaxies is unlikely but cannot be completely ruled out without a more precise energy determination. The most straightforward option is that Amaterasu was created in a transient event in an otherwise undistinguished galaxy.

Objective

Using Canadian Alliance of Pediatric Rheumatology Investigators (CAPRI) juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA) registry data, we describe (1) clinical characteristics of patients with JIA transitioning to adult care, (2) prevalence of disease-related damage and complications, and (3) changes in disease activity during the final year prior to transfer.

Methods

Registry participants who turned 17 years between February 2017 and November 2021 were included. Clinical characteristics and patient-reported outcomes (PROs) at the last recorded pediatric rheumatology visit, and changes observed in the year prior to that visit were analyzed. Physicians completed an additional questionnaire characterizing cumulative disease-related damage and adverse events by age 17 years.

Results

At their last visit, 88 of 131 participants (67%) had inactive and 42 (32%) had active disease. Overall, 96 (73%) were on medications and 41 (31%) were on biologic disease-modifying antirheumatic drugs. Among 80 participants for whom the additional questionnaire was completed, 26% had clinically detected joint damage, 31% had joint damage on imaging, 14% had uveitis, and 7.5% had experienced at least 1 serious adverse event. During the final year, 44.2% of patients were in remission, 28.4% attained inactive disease, and 27.4% became or remained active. Mean scores of PROs were stable overall during that last year, but a minority reported marked worsening.

Conclusion

A substantial proportion of youth with JIA transitioning to adult care in Canada had a high disease burden, which was reflected by their degree of disease activity, joint damage, or ongoing medication use. These results will inform pediatric and adult providers of anticipated needs during transition of care.

Objective

To investigate the association of stair climbing difficulty and stair climbing frequency with the risk of all-cause mortality over 13 years in adults with or at high risk for knee OA.

Methods

We used data from the Osteoarthritis Initiative (OAI), a prospective cohort study of community-dwelling adults with or at high risk for symptomatic knee OA. The exposures were stair climbing difficulty and frequency, assessed at baseline using self-report questionnaires. The outcome was all-cause mortality, assessed from baseline through 13 years of follow-up. Kaplan-Meier survival curves and Cox proportional hazards regression were used to investigate the association between stair climbing exposures and all-cause mortality.

Results

Three hundred seven (6.81%) and 310 (6.84%) participants in the difficulty and frequency samples, respectively, died during 13 years of follow-up. Those who were limited in any capacity in terms of their stair climbing ability had 54% to 84% greater hazard of all-cause mortality, and those who climbed at least 7 flights of stairs per week had 38% lower hazard of all-cause mortality.

Conclusion

Adults with or at high risk for knee OA who report difficulty with climbing stairs or who infrequently use stairs are at greater hazard of all-cause mortality. Stair climbing difficulty and frequency are simple to collect and changes may occur early in OA progression, allowing for early intervention. Brief questions about stair climbing behaviors can serve as a functional vital sign within the clinician’s toolbox.
