La formación del docente de Educación Primaria. Reflexiones y perspectivas
Authors: Segovia-Briceño Carmen Ramón , Cáceres-Mesa Maritza Librada
Published: May 2024

Contemporary teacher training in Mexico is conditioned by the demands of the Educational Reform of the New Mexican School, in terms of the promotion of knowledge in the new generations, which transcend to situations of the socio-educational context in which they live. This implies a critical reflection based on a self-analysis that accounts for the exercise of self-diagnosis and a self-critical awareness that implies the recognition of continuous training needs throughout professional life, in order to generate better dynamics and instruments to detonate in educational alternatives that meet the own training needs and generate better links with the educational community. Some background students on teacher training are presented, as a support for initial and continuous understanding, from which professionalization processes are triggered, in which individual and collegiate reflection is revitalized, based on the experiential knowledge that emerges in the field of the processes of how to teach to learn, in order to activate cognitive processes in students, which condition the internalization and significance of their learning, as a support for continuous training processes. Therefore, different studies on the subject have been reviewed in order to identify references in the field of initial and continuing education, which allow rethinking the organization of teacher training programs in light of the demands of today's society.

Authors: Lafebre-Tenén Lizbeth Tamara , Moreno-Narváez Verónica Paulina
Published: May 2024

The study addresses the difficulties faced by Ecuadorian companies in adapting to changes in the tax system, which often generate uncertainty and additional requirements. The objective of this study was to analyze the impact of tax reforms on Ecuadorian SMEs, specifically the transition from RISE to RIMPE, and their effects on the competitiveness and financial stability of these companies. A literature review was conducted, as well as an analysis of secondary data on tax collection and the financial situation of SMEs before and after the implementation of the reforms. The results showed that, although the tax reforms sought to simplify the tax payment process and promote benefits for microenterprises, they also generated additional challenges, such as lack of tax knowledge and difficulty in complying with the new tax obligations. In conclusion, the study highlights the need to design tax policies that promote the economic growth of SMEs without compromising their financial stability, thus guaranteeing their development and competitiveness in the Ecuadorian market.

La omisión dolosa en el Peculado e impacto en la administración pública en el Ecuador
Authors: Cornejo-Guamán Jessica Virginia , López-Soria Yudith
Published: May 2024

The objective set forth here is, following a legal analysis of intentional omission in the context of the crime of Embezzlement in Ecuador: To argue the need to implement a reform in Article 28 of the Comprehensive Organic Criminal Code, so that it clearly describes the possibility of timely and effective sanctioning of public officials who engage in this conduct concerning the crime of Embezzlement. Within Ecuadorian legislation, there is an issue regarding the ability to sanction public officials who, despite holding specific positions of responsibility, fail to fulfill their legal obligation to prevent and avoid the commission of Embezzlement, engaging in intentional omission. This form of typicity is not classified as a crime in Ecuador, and that's fine, as it acts as a general rule and, therefore, would apply to the entire criminal process and to all criminal offenses if the need arises. However, it is necessary to expand the article that foresees it, so that it is clear what it consists of and how it can be technically treated. To do this, a qualitative approach is employed using scientific methods such as analytical, inductive, and exegetic.

How Do Consumers Feel about Their Data Being Used for Targeted Advertising?
Authors: Fitzwater Kayla
Published: May 2024

This paper explores how consumers are affected by the ways marketers choose to gather their information. In specific, author asks consumers, through a survey, how they feel about personalized ads, whether user-generated, social media, and email advertisements are relevant to the consumer, if consumers trust social media advertising, and what consumers feel needs to change for them to view marketing more positively. The survey results showed that roughly 70% of consumers felt negatively about advertisements, only 25% trusted social media advertisements, and only approximately 35% of consumers said that the advertisements were relevant to their interests. The biggest complaints from consumers were that they felt social media sites couldn’t be trusted to give them trustworthy ads due to most of them being sponsored by marketers, and they didn’t like how companies were gathering their data. They felt like they were being listened to during conversations and being watched when surfing the internet. Consumers also mentioned feeling overwhelmed with the number of advertisements on their social media and through their emails. The research findings suggest that marketers should change their marketing strategy, making fewer advertisements of a higher quality. Marketers should also consider their sources of consumer data. Buying consumer data from a third party or using personal information, such as health status or sexuality, will set consumers on edge and make them trust less. Furthermore, marketers should be more transparent with where they are getting their information and let the consumer know when data is being collected; this will help consumers feel less anxious about their privacy being invaded.

Published: May 2024

The main objective of the present research was to investigate the vulnerability of epileptics towards various psychological disorders. It was hypothesized that epileptics are significantly different from non-epileptics in terms of their vulnerability to psychological disorders. The sample included 30 epileptics (i.e. grandmal, myoclonic, primary partial seizures, temporal lobe) from Institute ofNeurosciences, Hayat Shaheed Teaching Hospital and Mental Hospital Peshawar and 30 non-epileptics volunteers were selected from the population of Peshawar University. Human Figure Drawing Test (HFDT) and Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory (MMPI-1) were administered individually on each participant. Results indicated significant qualitative and quantitative differences between epileptics and non-epileptics. Epileptics scored higher than non-epileptics on several clinical scales of MMPI: Among epileptics, patients with temporal lobe epilepsy showed higher mean scores on emotional indicators (of HFDT) as compared to other epileptics and non-epileptics suggesting that epileptic group may have more emotional problems. Therefore, it was concluded that epileptic patients were more anxious, aggressive, insecure and on the whole had poor self- concept and more symptoms of depression.

Global warming and climate changes and their effects on the phenology stages and production of crops have attracted attention of researchers. We investigated the impacts of climate changes, phenology stages, yield potential as well as the effects of climate changes on the growth and development of potatoes as a stable food crop. In this study, SSM-iCrop2 simulation model methodology was used to investigate the climate change process, phenology stages, yield potential and the effects of climate changes on the growth and development of potato in 19 main meteorological stations from 1991 to 2015. The selection of meteorology stations was done based on the area under potato cultivation to implement the GYGA protocol. SAS program was used to explore the trends and slopes of the evaluable parameters, and GIS maps were used to analyze and interpret the trends and slopes. The results on potato phenological stages showed that with increasing the average of temperature, the length of planting period until the beginning of tuber formation in two meteorological stations, the period of tuber formation in four meteorological stations and the whole growing period in six meteorological stations were significantly decreased. The results also showed that the changes during the phenological stages, temperature, and radiation received during the growth caused a significant increase on yield at Shahrekord meteorological station and a significant decrease in other 6 meteorological stations. Based on the results, climatic factors had a significant effects on total yields.

THERMOPHYSICAL PROPERTIES OF DOPED RARE-EARTH METAL ALLOY ZN55AL
Authors: Sharipov Jurabek Gulovich , Nizomov Ziyovuddin , Saidzoda Rahim Hamro
Published: May 2024

The paper presents the results of a study of the thermophysical properties of Zn55Al alloy doped with scandium, yttrium, cerium, praseodymium, neodymium and europium in a wide temperature range. It was established that in all studied samples anomalous cooling associated with a first-order phase transition is observed. It is assumed that the two observed cooling processes of the alloy are associated with radiative and convective heat transfer.

It was revealed that the radiation process ends quickly and the sample is subsequently cooled only due to convective heat exchange with the environment. Using data on the temperature dependence of the heat capacity of aluminum and zinc, the temperature dependences of the heat capacity of the Zn55Al alloy and its heat transfer coefficient were calculated using the Neumann- Kopp rule . The results obtained show that the temperature dependence of the heat capacity is described by the polynomial С(Т)=a + b T + c T2 + d T3. It has been shown that the heat capacity of alloyed alloys is less than that of the original alloy and increases with increasing temperature, and changes differently with increasing concentration of the alloyed metal. For Zn55Al alloys alloyed with europium, cerium and neodymium, the heat capacity decreases with increasing concentration, and for alloys alloyed with praseodymium and scandium it increases. The phase transition process is observed in the Zn55Al alloy and becomes more pronounced upon alloying, which is explained by the process of monotectoid transformation α1→α2+β at a temperature of 529 K. It is shown that the results obtained are consistent with the zinc-aluminum phase diagram.

Published: May 2024

In article presents the results of processing of a mixture of fluorosilicic and hydrofluoric acids – a by-product of fluoride salts and phosphate fertilizers production in order to obtain sodium fluoride, silica gel (amorphous silicon oxide) and liquid glass. On this basis, the optimal technological parameters of the interaction of a mixture of FSA and hydrofluoric acid with sodium hydroxide were determined depending on temperature, process duration and sodium hydroxide concentration.

It was found that at temperature 25 ºC, process duration 15 min, sodium hydroxide concentration 45% wt. the degree of sodium fluoride extraction reaches more than 93%. Also, sodium fluoride dissolved during the reaction after hydrolysis of sodium metasilicate with precipitation and filtration of silica gel is returned back to the production cycle for preparation of the required sodium hydroxide solution. It was determined that treatment of amorphous silica forming with 10 % sodium hydroxide solution for 60 min. and temperature 85-90 ºC yields liquid glass. The results of the conducted research are confirmed by chemical and X-ray phase analyses, which gives grounds for the introduction of this technology in the industry. In addition, on the basis of the conducted researches the basic technological scheme of processing of the mixture of FSA and hydrofluoric acid was developed in order to obtain sodium fluoride, amorphous silica and liquid glass.

MODELING THE ACTIVITY OF THE HONEY BEE FAMILY UNDER THE INFLUENCE OF DISEASES AND PESTS, TAKING INTO ACCOUNT AGE AND SEX CHARACTERISTICS
Authors: Saidzoda Mahmad Isroil , Komiliyon Fayzali Saʹdullo
Published: May 2024

On the basis of a mathematical model of the impact of infectious diseases and pests on the development of bee colony individuals, a computer model of the activity of a bee colony has been developed – a tool for research, management and forecasting, which is based on a computer program created in the object-oriented programming language C ++ Builder XE7.

With the help of a computer model, the values ​​of the variables of the system of nonlinear ordinary differential equations with initial conditions were calculated by the Runge-Kutt method of the fourth order. Identification and verification of the value of the coefficients of the computer model were carried out according to the experimental data of 2017, which were obtained when testing bee colonies of the Carpathian and Buckfast breeds in different regions of northern Tajikistan. Comparison of experimental and model results in order to verify the correctness and stability of the developed program showed that the computer model can correctly reflect the dynamics of the number of individuals of each stage of the life of a bee colony according to the distribution of bees by sex and the impact of infectious diseases and pests.
Is Business as Mission (BAM) a Flawed Concept? A Reformed Christian Response to the BAM Movement
Authors: Quatro Scott A.
Published: May 2024

I was increasingly troubled and provoked as the Saturday morning plenary session unfolded at the CBFA conference back in October of 2010. The plenary session was a panel discussion/presentation entitled “Business as Mission: A Discipline Gathering Momentum.” The title of the session itself was enough to grab my attention and get me in my seat. As I settled into that seat I asked myself some questions: “Is business a mission, or is business simply business?” and “If BAM is an academic discipline, what does that mean for my plain old discipline of ‘business as business’?” Once settled, some of the thoughts espoused by the panel (among them, that “BAM is an academic discipline worthy of major programs of study” and “the Great Commission and church planting go hand-in-hand with business enterprise”) were almost enough to make me literally fall out of my seat. That moment, coupled with the invitation from JBIB to respond to Steve Rundle’s fine context-setting paper for this special issue on organizational hybridization, catalyzed this response. Interestingly, the very concept of organizational hybridization itself prompts response on my part, as discussed in more detail later in this paper.
Editor's Perspective
Authors: Underwood Julia
Published: May 2024

When I had the idea of creating special topics as a means to further provide service to the members of the Christian Business Faculty Association, a subject that impacts everyone quickly came to mind — gender. Whether we are older or younger, male or female, conservativeor liberal, married or single, the impact of gender on organizations affects us all. From the beginning we were created to serve God and serve one another for the greater good. Despite the common source of wisdom weall share, gender continues to create tensions and divisions among us. There appear to be as many opinions on women and their place, function, role and voice outside of the home, as there are women on the planet. Further, these opinions are shaped by our own unique experiences,education, relationships and culture. As such, we tend to perpetuate our values when engaging with and educating others. One could argue that the varied positions on the matter will likely last through the end of earth’s time, at which point humankind will finally grasp God’s truth.

Authors: Norment Nathaniel
Published: May 2024

Personal narratives are studied in many disciplines, but theoretical analysis of the personal narrative in composition classes has lagged behind the research. This qualitative study examines the personal narratives of thirty Black college-aged men. This study presents the feelings and thoughts of Black males through their personal stories and perspectives; in the study, they detail their life experiences. The narratives were analyzed for elements of narrative discourse, which include (1) Thesis; (2) Transitions; (3) Use and Evaluation of Sources; (4) Audience, Tone, and Rhetorical Appeals; (5) Organization; (6) Claims, Warrants, and Support; (7)Paraphrases, Direct Quotes, and Summary; (8) In-text Citations and Works Cited Page; (9) Style and Syntax; and (10) Mechanics (see scoring procedures). Each narrative was analyzed according to the criteria described in the Personal Narrative Rubric; the number of elements was counted for each category. The researcher recommends additional narrative studies of Black men in different age groups, educational backgrounds, social and economic levels, and geographical regions.
Miyazaki's Hybrid Worlds and Their Riddle-Stories
Authors: Arnavas Francesca , Bellini Mattia
Published: May 2024

“Fairy tales begin with conflict because we all begin our lives with conflict,” famously states Jack Zipes. And yet, this statement does not always seem to apply to non-Western story structures, such as the Asian kishōtenketsu, which implies a story development that does not necessarily revolve around conflicts. In many of Hayao Miyazaki’s movies (e.g., My Neighbor Totoro; Spirited Away, The Secret World of Arietty), it is possible to detect, on the one hand, the kishōtenketsu-based plot, and,on the other hand, the widespread presence of Western fairy-tale tropes. Conflicts in traditional Western fairy tales may sometimes manifest in the form of riddles to solve. Although Miyazaki’s stories do not shun away from riddles, how do these riddles relate to conflicts? How are Western and Asian story structures bound together in Miyazaki’s narratives, and what effects does this hybridization generate in their audiences? This article argues that: 1.) Riddles based on Western fairy tales in Miyazaki’s work do not necessarily involve conflicts, and are recast and re-elaborated in highly unusual ways; and 2.) The employment of these unusual patterns, mixing up together Oriental and Occidental frames of reference, gives rise to stories that puzzle the mind of spectators, working as complex narrative riddles.
Review of psychological studies on correlates of youth religiosity in post-socialist Bosnia and Herzegovina
Authors: Dušanić Srđan
Published: May 2024

Research on religiosity in Bosnia and Herzegovina (BiH) and former Yugoslavia during the socialist period consistently shows that the majority of inhabitants (70–80%) identify as not religious. In the 1990s, many things changed in BiH, the most important definitely being the fall of the socialist system, expansion of ethnic awareness among all three dominant peoples (Bosniaks, Serbs, Croats), and ethnic war. These social circumstances were followed by changes in the relationship towards religion. Religion has become a very important and socially desirable ideology. In this survey, we review psychological surveys and investigate to what extent young people in the post-socialist context of BiH are religious, and we examine the relationship between religiosity and other social, psychological, and demographic variables. The results of close to 50 empirical surveys have been analysed. Papers were written in the period from 2000 to 2022. All papers included samples from BiH. The paper with the smallest sample had 163 respondents, while the biggest sample amounted to 7,000 respondents. The majority of papers had 300–550 respondents. All surveys encompassed young people between 15 and 25 years of age. The instruments used in most of the cases were the religiosity scales that rely on Allport’s concept of religious orientation, and they imply the existence of intrinsic and extrinsic dimensions (subscales) of religiosity. The results of most of the research show that around 70–90% of participants identify as religious. People in Bosnia and Herzegovina are keen on identifying as religious, but that is much less accompanied by adequate and concrete religious attitudes and behaviours. Socio-demographic variables can be important for expressing religiosity, but those correlations are not consistent. Religiosity almost regularly correlates with conformity, authoritarianism, and conservatism. There is a tendency that religiosity can be a determinant of personal well-being. Correlation is found with better family relations, altruism, lower anti-social behaviours, and, in some research, greater satisfaction with life and optimism. In contrast to that, religiosity can be connected with certain realistically or potentially problematic constructs such as social and ethnic distances, authoritarianism, dogmatism, and ethnocentrism. In the future, it is necessary to work on the development of religiosity, which is a factor of internal and social well-being, and not of intergroup disputes.

Volontiranje je definisano kao neprofitna aktivnost kojom jedinka doprinosi razvoju svoje lokalne zajednice (Allen i Rushton, 1983). Iz svakodnevnih razgovora sa studentima se zaključuje da se značajan broj njih uključuje u različite volonterske aktivnosti, te je cilj ovog istraživanja bio utvrditi razloge uključenja studenata u volonterski rad, na području Bosne i Hercegovine. Konkretno, izabran je volonterski angažman studenata na savjetodavnoj liniji “Plavi telefon”, koja godinama okuplja veći broj volontera, prvenstveno onih koji se bave pomagačkim profesijama. “Plavi telefon” je jedna od usluga koje pruža nevladina organizacija „Nova generacija“ iz Banje Luke, a podrazumijeva pružanje besplatne psihološke pomoći i podrške svim građanima Bosne i Hercegovine. U ovom radu predstavljeni su podaci dobijeni intervjuisanjem studenata volontera koji su imali priliku biti angažovani na Plavom telefonu (n = 10). Uzorak je činilo 9 studenata psihologije i 1 student pedagogije (9 studentkinja i 1 student), prosječne starosti 21 godinu (M = 21.63, SD = 1.12). Sa ispitanicima su obavljeni intervjui putem onlajn platformi „Zoom“ i „Google Meet“. Dobijeni rezultati sugerišu da su najčešće navođeni razlozi uključenja u volonterski angažman bili profesionalno usavršavanje, želja za ličnim rastom i razvojem, te potreba da se pomogne drugima. Kao pozitivne aspekte volontiranja studenti navode karakteristike organizacije i sam tretman volontera. Kao potencijalni negativan aspekt volontiranja, većina volontera navodi tzv. testirajuće pozive (pojava da tinejdžeri, ali i odrasli zovu “Plavi telefon” neozbiljno pristupajući liniji i ismijavajući rad volontera). U radu se detaljnije prikazuje volonterski rad na “Plavom telefonu” i diskutuje se o značaju volontiranja u ovakvoj organizaciji.
Свештеници Илија и Милош Билбија у времену борбе за национално ослобођење у другој половини 19. и почетком 20. вијека
Authors: Ернаут Милош
Published: May 2024

Аутор у раду пише о двојици знаменитих личности из граховске свештеничке породице Билбија, Илији и Милошу. Акценат је на њиховим биографијама. Илија Билбија био је свештеник, обновитељ манастира Рмањ и угледни устанички војвода из времена Српског устанка у Босни 1875-1878, а као свештеник у Босанском Грахову крстио је Гаврила Принципа 1894. године. Милош Билбија, рођак свештеника Илије, био је помоћни парох у Босанском Грахову, а касније парох у Црном Лугу. Након Сарајевског атентата, 1914. године, аустроугарска власт захтијевала је од Милоша Билбије да измијени датум крштења Гаврила Принципа, али он на то није пристао, па је мучен у ливањском затвору. Умро је од посљедица злостављања. Свети архијерејски сабор Српске православне цркве канонизовао је Милоша Билбију 2022. године. Илија и Милош Билбија, својим свештеничким радом и борбом за права и ослобођење српског народа, превазилазе локални значај, па им је неопходно посветити далеко више простора у истраживањима прошлости српског народа Босанске Крајине, али и њихов несумњив утицај на политичке прилике времена у којем су живјели и радили.

Published: May 2024

Osnovni cilj ovog istraživanja je da se ispitaju percepcije roditelja o partnerstvu predškolske ustanove i lokalne zajednice. U radu se ukazuje na značaj upoznavanja dece sa neposrednim lokalnim okruženjem, kao i na različite oblike partnerstva poput poseta, zajedničkih akcija i manifestacija, koji su prisutni u praksi predškolskog vaspitanja. Pored postojećih oblika partnerstva, pažnja je posvećena potencijalima lokalne zajednice za učenje dece predškolskog uzrasta i stvaranja osnove za očuvanje kulture, tradicije i običaja zajednice u kojoj odrastaju. U istraživanju je korišćena deskriptivna metoda, a osnovni instrument istraživanja je skala procene Likertovog tipa. Uzorak istraživanja čine roditelji čija deca pohađaju državne predškolske ustanove. Podaci istraživanja su prikupljeni neposredno, u saradnji s vaspitačima i uz saglasnost direktora ustanova. Rezultati istraživanja su delimično potvrdili postavljene hipoteze da predškolska ustanova i lokalna zajednica ostvaruju partnerstva u raznovrsnim aktivnostima u cilju pružanja podrške kvalitetu vaspitno-obrazovnog rada, kao i da postoje statistički značajne razlike u stavovima roditelja u odnosu na karakteristike uzorka. Najvažnije implikacije nalaza našeg istraživanja odnose se na doprinos unapređenju postojeće vaspitno-obrazovne prakse, imajući u vidu da se tretirani problem sagledava iz perspektive roditelja koji su jedan od ključnih faktora uspešne saradnje na svim nivoima.

Mycobacterium tuberculosis PhoP integrates stress response to intracellular survival by regulating cAMP level

Published: May 2024

Survival of Mycobacterium tuberculosis within the host macrophages requires the bacterial virulence regulator PhoP, but the underlying reason remains unknown. 3′,5′-Cyclic adenosine monophosphate (cAMP) is one of the most widely used second messengers, which impacts a wide range of cellular responses in microbial pathogens including M. tuberculosis. Herein, we hypothesized that intra-bacterial cAMP level could be controlled by PhoP since this major regulator plays a key role in bacterial responses against numerous stress conditions. A transcriptomic analysis reveals that PhoP functions as a repressor of cAMP-specific phosphodiesterase (PDE) Rv0805, which hydrolyzes cAMP. In keeping with these results, we find specific recruitment of the regulator within the promoter region of rv0805 PDE, and absence of phoP or ectopic expression of rv0805 independently accounts for elevated PDE synthesis, leading to the depletion of intra-bacterial cAMP level. Thus, genetic manipulation to inactivate PhoP-rv0805-cAMP pathway decreases cAMP level, stress tolerance, and intracellular survival of the bacillus.
The non-mitotic role of HMMR in regulating the localization of TPX2 and the dynamics of microtubules in neurons

Published: May 2024

A functional nervous system is built upon the proper morphogenesis of neurons to establish the intricate connection between them. The microtubule cytoskeleton is known to play various essential roles in this morphogenetic process. While many microtubule-associated proteins (MAPs) have been demonstrated to participate in neuronal morphogenesis, the function of many more remains to be determined. This study focuses on a MAP called HMMR, which was originally identified as a hyaluronan binding protein and later found to possess microtubule and centrosome binding capacity. HMMR exhibits high abundance on neuronal microtubules and altering the level of HMMR significantly affects the morphology of neurons. Instead of confining to the centrosome(s) like cells in mitosis, HMMR localizes to microtubules along axons and dendrites. Furthermore, transiently expressing HMMR enhances the stability of neuronal microtubules and increases the formation frequency of growing microtubules along the neurites. HMMR regulates the microtubule localization of a non-centrosomal microtubule nucleator TPX2 along the neurite, offering an explanation for how HMMR contributes to the promotion of growing microtubules. This study sheds light on how progenitor cells utilize proteins involved in mitosis for non-mitotic functions.
CoCoNuTs are a diverse subclass of Type IV restriction systems predicted to target RNA

A comprehensive census of McrBC systems, among the most common forms of prokaryotic Type IV restriction systems, followed by phylogenetic analysis, reveals their enormous abundance in diverse prokaryotes and a plethora of genomic associations. We focus on a previously uncharacterized branch, which we denote coiled-coil nuclease tandems (CoCoNuTs) for their salient features: the presence of extensive coiled-coil structures and tandem nucleases. The CoCoNuTs alone show extraordinary variety, with three distinct types and multiple subtypes. All CoCoNuTs contain domains predicted to interact with translation system components, such as OB-folds resembling the SmpB protein that binds bacterial transfer-messenger RNA (tmRNA), YTH-like domains that might recognize methylated tmRNA, tRNA, or rRNA, and RNA-binding Hsp70 chaperone homologs, along with RNases, such as HEPN domains, all suggesting that the CoCoNuTs target RNA. Many CoCoNuTs might additionally target DNA, via McrC nuclease homologs. Additional restriction systems, such as Type I RM, BREX, and Druantia Type III, are frequently encoded in the same predicted superoperons. In many of these superoperons, CoCoNuTs are likely regulated by cyclic nucleotides, possibly, RNA fragments with cyclic termini, that bind associated CARF (CRISPR-Associated Rossmann Fold) domains. We hypothesize that the CoCoNuTs, together with the ancillary restriction factors, employ an echeloned defense strategy analogous to that of Type III CRISPR-Cas systems, in which an immune response eliminating virus DNA and/or RNA is launched first, but then, if it fails, an abortive infection response leading to PCD/dormancy via host RNA cleavage takes over.
