Du øver dig, mens du gør
Authors: Toft Herdis , Knudsen Karin Esmann
Published: February 2024

Ud over de trykte tekster indeholder antologien en lang række korte tekster baseret på en række interviews med Flemming Mouritsen, foretaget i perioden 2008-12. I vores interviews med ham – vi benævner dem Samtaler – kommenterede han på sit eget liv og på sin skriftlige produktion, og således får vi både hans eget tilbageblik og hans nutidsperspektiv på det fyrre år lange forfatterskab. Vi markerer dem som samtaler ved hver gang at indlede med et spørgsmål fra os, men ellers har vi stort set udeladt vores egen medvirken i dialogen.

Samtaleuddragene giver også mulighed for at indfange den mundtlighed, der er så karakteristisk for Flemming Mouritsen, og som vi har bevaret, så vidt det nu er muligt. I løbet af de vældig mange timer, som interviewene har strakt sig over, har vi fået en række fortællinger om hans opvækst i Vendsyssel og familiens flytning til Aarhus, da han var omkring tolv år, han har fortalt om universitetsmiljøet i 1970'erne og 1980'erne, om pædagogseminariets 'matriarkalske' miljø og sammenstødet mellem praktisk og teoretisk arbejde med børn og børnekultur, om arbejdet med at få has på stoffet i skriveprocessen, og han har ikke mindst fortalt om erfaringerne med feltarbejde, hvor hans iagttagelser af børnene Morten, Jakob og Tine – og af deres børn – spiller en væsentlig rolle.

Gennem disse fortællinger får Flemming Mouritsen pointeret sine grundlæggende teorier, kategorier og teser om sammenhænge i en form, der afspejler det processuelle og situationsbundne i hans virke. Det er os, der som redaktører har fået det samlede materiale transskriberet, hvorefter vi har gennemskrevet det, har klippet og tilrettet samtalebidder, samt forsøgt at placere dem i forhold til tekster, de i vore øjne kan 'snakke sammen med'. Havde vi gengivet dem, som de forelå, ville de to bind snarere være blevet til tre, eftersom Flemming Mouritsen nok blev svækket fysisk i de sidste år af sit liv, men bestemt ikke blev det, hvad engagement og vedholdende fortælleglæde angår.

Selv om vi gengiver samtalerne 'stykkevis og delt', kan læseren ved hjælp af indholdsfortegnelsen imidlertid vælge at læse dem som en særskilt tekst. Man kan behandle samtalebidderne som det, de er: et liv genoplevet i erindringen af Flemming Mouritsen. Ind imellem har vi oplevet, at han huskede 'forkert' hvad fx et årstal, et navn eller en lokation angår, og det ser vi som et udtryk for, at perspektivismen ikke kun betegner vores oplevelse af fænomener i andres 'virkelighed', men også i eget liv. Flemming Mouritsen var frem for alt en stor fortæller – en sand fortæller.

Følelsens politik eller Storkefuglen
Authors: Knudsen Karin Esmann
Published: February 2024

Herdis Toft og Karin Esmann Knudsen har som redaktører af »Mouritsens Metode« hver især skrevet en selvstændig artikel om Flemming Mouritsens indsigter i forhold til henholdsvis børnelitteratur og børnekultur. De har spurgt hinanden om, hvilken betydning hans kulturelle tilgang til børnelitteraturen har haft, hvilken betydning hans æstetisk-litterære tilgang til børnekulturen har haft, samt hvilken betydning hans værk har i et nutidigt og fremadrettet perspektiv. De håber, at læserne vil se artiklerne som deres 'perspektiviske' forståelsesramme for hans produktion, og vil føle sig ansporet til at danne sig deres eget.
Medieleg i skolen – media literacy i et legekulturelt perspektiv
Authors: Jørgensen Helle Hovgaard
Published: February 2024

Børns mediebrug i børnehaveklassen skal ifølge styringsdokumenterne understøttes gennem en afbalancering af leg og udvikling af kompetencer. Der mangler imidlertid både viden om, hvilken rolle legen spiller i børns udvikling af mediekompetence, og teoretisk afklaring af, hvordan »media literacy«1 kan tænkes sammen med legeteori. Målet med denne artikel er at bidrage til vidensudvikling om børns medieleg, dels empirisk og dels teoretisk. Artiklen er blevet til på baggrund af et etnografisk studie, hvor kvalitative forskningsmetoder har medvirket til at etablere et aktivt deltagerperspektiv. I den udvalgte case er det to børn, der producerer datamaterialet. Casen rummer både »nye medier« som konsolspillet Mario II og et digitalt kamera samt »gamle medier« som en tegning, fortælling og en tavle. Casen peger på vigtigheden af at interessere sig for børns engagement, når de bruger medier i deres leg. Derudover demonstrerer casen et forholdsvist avanceret niveau af mediekyndighed og refleksion i medielegen. Casen foreslår med andre ord, at der er et potentiale i at interessere sig for børns medieleg i skolen, når det drejer sig om udviklingen af mediekompetencer. Teoretisk kvalificeres »media literacy« gennem teori om legekultur i relation til børns medieleg. Afsluttende diskuteres »børns medieberedskab« i forhold til leg og media literacy.
På sporet af børns perspektiver – børnehavebørns leg med GoPro og iPad i børnehaven
Authors: Hauge Louise Janns , Jørgensen Helle Hovgaard
Published: February 2024

I artiklen præsenteres to eksempler på, hvordan børns leg og kreative processer kan udforskes ved at inddrage nyere digitale teknologier og børnene selv som medforskere. I det første eksempel undersøges fire børns leg på legepladsen i en dansk børnehave vha. GoPro actionkameraer, som børnene bærer, alt imens de leger i både sandkasse og på rutchebane. Det andet drejer sig om 13 børnehavebørn og to pædagoger, som i en periode over to måneder har arbejdet med åbne værkstedsprocesser, hvor fokus var på betydningen af at følge børns spor i de samskabende æstetiske processer, der fandt sted i værkstedet. Disse undersøgelser blev forestået af den ene af artiklens forfattere, pædagog Louise Janns Hauge, med det formål at udforske legen ved så vidt muligt at nærme sig børns perspektiver. Den pædagogiske praksis tilrettelægges af voksne, og artiklen vil vise, hvordan det er muligt at arbejde med udgangspunkt i børns erfaringer og oplevelser og på den måde være med til at udmønte den ret til leg, både børnekonvention og læreplaner lægger op til. Begge undersøgelser er kvalitative studier, der har fokus rettet mod, hvordan noget siges, gøres og opleves fra aktørernes egne perspektiver, og hvordan digitale medier kan være med til at understøtte inddragelse af børns perspektiver og deltagelsesmuligheder.
Han slår! – børnehavebørns fortælling om konflikter
Authors: Larsen Bjarke Schjødt , Toft Herdis
Published: February 2024

Med afsæt i socialkonstruktivistisk og narrativ fortælle- og historieteori undersøges 10 praksisfortællinger om konflikter i børnehaven med fokus på narrativet ’Han slår!’. Undersøgelsen er båret af ideen om, at vi fortæller vores verden frem i samspil, at mening er af relationel karakter, og at børns fortællinger om konflikter kan anskues som led i deres legekulturelle interaktioner. Analysestrategisk set forstås da en bestemt dreng som både et faktisk barn og som en legekulturel figur, der agerer monomytisk som prygelknabe. En sammenstilling og tolkning af de 10 fortællinger viser, hvordan børnene bl.a. gennem emplotment skaber en verdensfortælling om børnehaven, som den pædagogiske medarbejder bliver en del af, men ikke nødvendigvis forstår og derfor heller ikke kan integrere i sine refleksioner-i-handling, men som tegner sig gennem sådanne refleksioner-over-handling, som artiklen præsenterer. Begreberne om krønike- og historieskrivning anvendes for at belyse, hvor vanskeligt det er at bestemme sandhedsværdien af hverdagskonflikter i børnehaven i forhold til parametre som fiktiv/faktisk, krønike/historie, legekulturel/sociokulturel, sandhed/løgn. Hvad foregår der her? er et spørgsmål, der vil blive besvaret forskelligt, afhængigt af hvem vi hver især tilkender retten til at agere som politi, advokat og dommer.
Med Nour i børnehave og Mustafa i kiosken – etnicitet og kulturmøder i billedbøger for børn
Authors: Andreassen Ditte , Jørgensen Helle Hovgaard
Published: February 2024

Artiklen undersøger, hvordan børnesyn og kulturforståelse spiller ind i fremstillinger af kulturmøder i dansk børnelitteratur i det 21. århundrede, her gennem analyse af billedbøgerne Nour og Noras første dag i børnehave og Mustafas Kiosk, samt inddragelse af andre relevante værker. Med kulturmøder i børnelitteraturen som omdrejningspunkt befinder vi os i krydsfeltet mellem sociologi og anvendt børnelitteratur, og med dette kultursociologiske perspektiv vil analysen af billedbøgerne vise, at selv med de bedste intentioner risikerer tilsyneladende inkluderende fortællinger at indeholde selvmodsigelser og utilsigtede stereotyper. Man kan sige, at artiklen grundlæggende tager form som en undersøgelse af, hvad det, vi her kalder en inkluderende fortælling, egentlig er. Eftersom billedbøger som litterært medie betjener sig af både verbale og visuelle virkemidler vil analysen tilsvarende omfatte såvel illustrationer som tekst.
Kunstnerduoer, Kunstlaboratorier og KUNSTgødning
Authors: Chemi Tatiana , Kusk Hanne , Xu Shuangshuang
Published: February 2024

Denne artikel tager udgangspunkt i Kunstgødning, et nordjysk tværkommunalt samarbejde om kunst og dannelse i dagtilbud. Teoretisk er artiklen baseret i teori af Dewey og Malaguzzi og udfolder begrebet artfulness. Via en aktionsforskningsinspireret tilgang uddrages væsentlige fund i projektet: Forskningssamarbejdet, artfulness som metode, kunstnerduoer, den tværæstetiske tilgang, kulturskolernes deltagelse og observationsrolle. Desuden undersøges betydningen af det kreative laboratorium, som indeholder seriøs leg, tryghed, indbydelse, eksploration og skabende fællesskaber. I perspektiveringen reflekteres der over disse fund og kombinationen af forskningsmæssig og kunstneriske evaluering og formidling.

Denne kommenterede billedserie handler om tegl, teglværk og værksted. Små og store børn i Børnehuset Egernsund henter inspiration til at arbejde med ler, der på traditionel vis formes til tegl og brændes. Det sker dels med besøg af kunstneren Karen-Lisbeth Rasmussen, der igangsætter teglproduktion i miniforme; dels tager man på besøg på det nærliggende teglværksmuseum, Cathrinesminde under Museum Sønderjylland
Når børn fælles skaber – om børns materialiserede samvær i leg
Authors: Sand Anne-Lene , Jensen Jens-Ole , Skovbjerg Helle Marie , Jørgensen Hanne Hede , Hansen Janne Hedegaard , Lieberoth Andreas
Published: February 2024

Artiklen handler om samspillet mellem børns sociale praksisser og materialer. Med udgangspunkt i et empirisk materiale fra et designbaseret forskningsprojekt og begreberne intra-action (Barad, 2007) og affinity (Mason, 2018) udforskes det hvordan materialer indgår i børns leg med hinanden og hvilke potentialer materialer har i børns leg? Der er ikke blot tale om, at børn anvender og leger med materialer, men at materialerne enten gennem form, fylde, konsistens eller rammesætning påvirker børnene og sågar trækker legen og børnene i en særlig retning. Den måde børnene er sammen på, er ikke italesat verbalt af børnene, men kropsligt, og det markerer et social samvær gennem en fælles optagethed. Dertil viser artiklens analyser, at materialer muliggør og medetablerer et socialt rum i børns leg, og pædagogernes rammesætning af børns leg. Artiklen peger på, at materialers relationelle betydning skaber en forståelse for fælles skabende praksisser, som er kortvarige, intense, nonverbale, sensoriske, dynamiske og processuelle. Et fokus på materialitet og krop, frem for verbalt sprog og social position, vil i et fremadrettet forskningsperspektiv kunne bidrage med viden om, hvordan man kan skabe deltagelsesmuligheder for børn gennem brug af materialer.
Bridging troubled water: Preparing school through play and special activities in kindergarten
Authors: Håberg Liv Ingrid Aske
Published: February 2024

Play is fundamental in the Nordic kindergarten tradition, which is built upon a Froebelian pedagogy where play is intertwined with learning and interactions between the child and adult. However, kindergarten as an institution has gradually been connected to national education strategies as part of the knowledge economy, including a stronger connection between kindergarten and school. How kindergarten teachers manoeuvre the landscape of cross-pressure between making children ready for school and holding on to the importance of play has only been investigated to some degree in the Nordic context. This study investigated this issue through an empirical approach using focus group interviews of 23 kindergarten teachers in six kindergartens. The results showed that all the kindergartens offered special activities for the five-year-old group. However, the kindergartens were worried about the view of learning in school because play was only a small part of their learning approaches. These findings are discussed in light of the huge gap between kindergarten and school pedagogy in the Norwegian context. It is relevant to attempt to understand how different frameworks and traditions can affect pedagogical practice and that there may be room to discuss the role of play in both kindergarten and school.
Samskabelse som kunsten at skabe og forandres sammen
Authors: Hammershøj Lars Geer
Published: February 2024

Formålet med artiklen er at undersøge, hvordan samskabelse virker i forløb, hvor børn i dagtilbud møder kunst og kultur. Det undersøger jeg ved at analysere samskabelsesprocesser i fem forløb i projekt LegeKunst, der har til hensigt at fremme leg og dannelse hos børn og forankre kunst og kultur i dagtilbud. I LegeKunst anvendes der en samskabelsesmetode, hvor kunstneren leder første halvdel af gangene, hvorefter pædagogerne tager over sidste halvdel. Undersøgelsen viser, at der er to typer af samskabelse på spil i LegeKunst; dels samskabes der om forløbets aktiviteter, dels samskabes der i legen. Der argumenteres for, at den første type af samskabelse har karakter af en innovativ proces og den anden af en kreativ proces. Derudover viser undersøgelsen, at det er afgørende, at deltagerne følger samskabelsesmetoden strikt og forholder sig åbent til hinanden. Det skubber deltagerne ud af deres vante roller og praksisser og gør dem lydhøre for hinandens måder at tænke og handle på. Endelig viser undersøgelsen, at det er afgørende, at kunstnerne bruger deres kunstneriske åbenhed og praksis i mødet med børnene, da det udvider den større verden, som legen etablerer.
Det danser vi om!
Authors: Blume Michael
Published: February 2024

Denne artikel undersøger, hvordan arbejdet med dans og kropslige udtryksformer kan blive meningsfuldt i en børnehave, der har børn med forskellige etniske oprindelser og en afdeling for børn med særlige behov. Undersøgelsen baserer sig på empirisk materiale fra LegeKunst-forløbet: Det danser vi om! Her har en professionel danser indenfor modern dance og breakdance inspireret børn og personale til at kaste sig ud i det ukendte og lege og improvisere med kropslige udtryksformer. Mikroanalyser af tre dansescener bruges til både at beskrive rammerne indenfor hvilke improvisation og leg kan blive meningsfuldt og til at beskrive meningsskabende processer, når børn, kunstner og pædagoger danser sammen. Teoretisk tages afsæt i en sociologisk forståelse for meningsfuldhed (Antonovsky, 2000) og en fænomenologisk, kognitionsvidenskabelig tilgang til meningsskabelse (De Jaegher & Di Paolo, 2007; Fuchs & De Jaegher, 2009). Analyserne belyser eksemplarisk, at mening er noget der gøres i fællesskab, og at legende, improviserende tilgange til krop og bevægelse indeholder et stærkt potentiale for meningsskabelse. Afslutningsvis diskuteres, hvordan et sådan eksistentielt orienteret perspektiv kan bidrage med nye forståelser for meningsfulhed i det pædagogiske arbejde i krydsfeltet mellem kunst, leg og pædagogik.
Kunsten at lege
Authors: Rasmussen Alette Raft
Published: February 2024

Drama og rolleleg minder om hinanden, de to udtryksformer benytter sig af samme dramatiske formsprog, hvor det at indleve sig i fiktive roller er helt centralt. At udtrykke sig gennem formsproget er samtidig en kreativ handling, hvor fantasien kommer i spil og skaber som-om-verdner inden for en fælles kontrakt, der gennem mimik, gestik og stemmeleje signalerer, at det »bare er noget vi leger«.

Denne artikel undersøger ved hjælp af forskningsmetoden sensory etnography, hvordan en drampædagogisk tilgang i to LegeKunst-forløb kan fremme empati, fantasi og kreativitet i forbindelse med rolleleg, og hvad der i den forbindelse er vigtigt for pædagogen at være opmærksom på. I artiklen fremskrives vigtigheden af, at pædagogen gennem en åben og improviserende forholdelsesmåde og gennem det at bidrage med egne kunstneriske input fremmer den fælles leg og kunstpædagogiske proces.
Changes of Syntactic Patterns in the Textual Tradition of the Book of Isaiah: A Corpus-Linguistic Approach
Authors: Oosting Reinoud
Published: February 2024

Assuming that biblical texts have been reworked and updated during the long period of their history of development and transmission, this paper examines the syntactic changes in the textual tradition of the Book of Isaiah. The first part is devoted to the linguistic variation within the authoritative text of Isaiah and concentrates on the interchange of prepositions in the Masoretic Text. The second part deals with the transmission of the text of Isaiah and pays attention to the differences between the Masoretic Text of Isaiah and the text of Isaiah in the Dead Sea scrolls and the Old Greek Translation, the Septuagint. In both parts, the linguistic patterns gathered from the ETCBC database serve as the starting point for the examination. By computer-assisted registering, sorting, and comparing the various syntactic patterns, one gains insight into the complex history of the Hebrew text of Isaiah.
Problem-oriented Corpus Annotation and the Hebrew Bible
Authors: De Joode Johan
Published: February 2024

In this contribution, I argue that the exegetical and stylistic study of the Hebrew Bible would benefit from the creation and storage of qualitative and quantitative annotations using problem-oriented corpus annotation (de Haan 1984). Within Biblical studies exegetes are used to static interfaces which allow them retrieve information, but not enhance it with anything more elaborate than user notes. I present a roadmap for the development of an annotation tool tailored to the Hebrew Bible with the sole objective of enriching the data that is already present in open source datasets like that of the ETCBC. Based on my experience with a dataset to annotate conceptual metaphors in the book of Job (bibliametaphorica.com) and the literature on corpus annotation (Sinclair 2004; Leech 2005; Fort et al. 2012), I argue that data creation and enrichment is a challenging, yet rewarding endeavour. It is challenging because it is circular, viz. labels are informed by the data are hence difficult to a priori define. Furthermore, it is difficult to be consistent and the actual, manual labelling of the text requires interpretative choices that cause editorial fatigue. Fort et al. (2012) suggest that annotation campaigns have differing degrees of difficulty which can be mitigated not just by inter-annotator rating, but by conscious decisions to lower the annotation complexity. A user interface is needed that limits annotation complexity and that allows researchers to annotate the text with minimal effort. The end-result is an XML document, for instance, that contains both the text and the annotations, in a format that can be merged back into the original database, but need not be. The existence of a tool for the manual annotation of open data will increase the replicability of research as well as its democratisation, as students world-wide can create and share their data.
GBI Treebanks as a Resource for New Applications
Authors: Wu Andi
Published: February 2024

Global Bible Initiative (GBI) have developed Hebrew OT treebanks and Greek NT syntactic treebanks. The treebanks were first generated with a parser using computerized Hebrew and Greek grammars and then proofed verse by verse by Hebrew and Greek Scholars. All the corrections made by the scholars were kept as disambiguation data.

The phrase structures in the trees have been used to build interlinears, concordances, and translation memories which operate not only on the word level, but on the phrase and clause levels as well. The syntactic relations (dependencies) in the trees have also been used to do smart search where we can find texts that are different in form but similar in meaning.

Recently, we have also used the trees to improve the accuracy of automatic word alignment and explore tree-based interactive machine translation of the Bible. The auto aligner can be used to the Hebrew and Greek texts to translations in various languages. The interactive machine translation will speed up Bible translation without compromising quality by providing real time suggestions and checking.

We have already contributed two sets of Greek trees to Creative Commons, the Nestle 1904 version and the SBLGNT version. We also have trees for NA27 and NA28, but we do not own the texts. The Hebrew OT treebank we developed was owned by the Groves Center. We are also capable of creating new treebanks with the parser, grammar, and disambiguation data we own if we are given a text that is morphologically tagged.

Nothing New Under the Sun?
Authors: Elrod A. G.
Published: February 2024

This article investigates the potential impact of generative artificial intelligence, specifically OpenAI's GPT, on the field of biblical studies, particularly biblical Hebrew. The study is divided into three main categories: (1) knowledge retrieval or language understanding, (2) generative modeling or creative problem solving, and (3) command interpretation or query parsing. Experiments are conducted using OpenAI's GPT, the ETCBC's BHSA dataset, and Text-Fabric Python libraries. Results demonstrate GPT's limitations and proficiencies in biblical Hebrew and its capacity to employ its proficiencies creatively in problem-solving scenarios involving multifaceted forms of reasoning. The study concludes that understanding the capabilities and potential trajectories of these technologies is vital for biblical Hebrew scholarship, as they already possess the capacity to disrupt established scholarly norms and democratize access to advanced tools.
Disseminated herpes zoster with vagus nerve involvement in a kidney transplant recipient: a case report
Authors: Kim Dong Eon , Kim Da Woon , Kim Hyo Jin , Rhee Harin , Song Sang Heon , Seong Eun Young
Published: February 2024

Herpes zoster virus infection is common and results in significant morbidity in patients who have undergone solid organ transplantation. Herpes zoster can involve the cranial nerves, and vagus nerve involvement is an infrequent primary manifestation of herpes zoster. Here, we describe a rare presentation of disseminated herpes zoster infection with vagus nerve involvement in a kidney transplant recipient. A 62-year-old man who had undergone kidney transplantation 3 years prior presented to our clinic with sore throat and hoarseness, followed by multiple vesicular-pustular rashes on the face and trunk. Flexible laryngoscopy revealed left paramedian vocal cord paralysis with multiple ulcerative lesions extending from the left pyriform sinus to the epiglottis. Computed tomography of the neck, abdomen, and chest revealed no significant abnormalities that could have caused vocal cord paralysis. We confirmed the diagnosis of disseminated herpes zoster after herpes zoster laryngitis based on positive blood tests and polymerase chain reaction for varicella zoster virus antibodies. The skin rashes and laryngeal ulcers rapidly resolved after treatment with intravenous acyclovir and high-dose steroids. The patient still had persistent dysphagia and microaspiration as assessed by a video fluoroscopic swallowing study, but showed improvement in dysphagia in response to swallowing rehabilitation therapy. This case provides valuable insights into the presenting symptoms of disseminated herpes zoster, which can cause acute vagus neuritis in solid organ transplantation recipients.
Antecedents of Employee Wellbeing

Published: February 2024

Objective: The aim of the current study is to highlight the role of well-being factors affecting employees’ job outcomes in Pakistani context. The current study explores nature of well-being as a psychological construct in recent studies conducted. Methodology: Systematic review of 20 studies is included. This review analyzed how the construct of well-being is measured, which research designs are used and what major outcomes can be drawn based on these studies in organizations of Pakistan.Findings: It revealed that quantitative research designs are used in studies so far. Two third of studies took the construct as employee well-being and studied it as dependent variable. Discussion: The study indicates that many factors play a role in development and decline of well-being in Pakistani organizations. Employee attitudes, interpersonal relations, job performance and outcomes impact well-being behaviors. Narcissistic supervision, emotional exhaustion and workplace bullying are dominant factors lowering well-being of employees.Practical implications: This research is helpful to understand the antecedents of well-being in organizations and provide insights for establishing healthy work environment.
Concha Espina y el “solemne mandato” de la mujer: personajes femeninos y el discurso de la sección femenina en "Retaguardia" (1937)
Authors: Álvarez Álvarez María
Published: February 2024

La novela "Retaguardia" (1937) supone la muestra definitiva del radical cambio ideológico experimentado por Concha Espina en esos años, que la llevó a adoptar posiciones mucho más tradicionales en cuanto a la autonomía y la libertad de las mujeres, aspecto central de su obra. En esta ocasión, pretendemos estudiar la configuración y el papel de los personajes femeninos de la novela y su relación con las premisas falangistas a las que se acercó la autora: son de especial interés las distintas figuras de las madres que aparecen, así como las de las dos protagonistas. A través de ellas, Espina construye su novela y la imagen de España que quiere promocionar, y nos ofrece una muestra excepcional de lo que se esperaba de la mujer en el contexto de la Guerra Civil desde posiciones reaccionarias, aunque su antigua ideología provoca ciertas discrepancias respecto al discurso oficial.

SARS-CoV-2 is spread through exhaled breath of infected individuals. A fundamental question in understanding transmission of SARS-CoV-2 is how much virus an individual is exhaling into the environment while they breathe, over the course of their infection. Research on viral load dynamics during COVID-19 infection has focused on internal swab specimens, which provide a measure of viral loads inside the respiratory tract, but not on breath. Therefore, the dynamics of viral shedding on exhaled breath over the course of infection are poorly understood. Here, we collected exhaled breath specimens from COVID-19 patients and used RTq-PCR to show that numbers of exhaled SARS-CoV-2 RNA copies during COVID-19 infection do not decrease significantly until day 8 from symptom-onset. COVID-19-positive participants exhaled an average of 80 SARS-CoV-2 viral RNA copies per minute during the first 8 days of infection, with significant variability both between and within individuals, including spikes over 800 copies a minute in some patients. After day 8, there was a steep drop to levels nearing the limit of detection, persisting for up to 20 days. We further found that levels of exhaled viral RNA increased with self-rated symptom-severity, though individual variation was high. Levels of exhaled viral RNA did not differ across age, sex, time of day, vaccination status or viral variant. Our data provide a fine-grained, direct measure of the number of SARS-CoV-2 viral copies exhaled per minute during natural breathing—including 312 breath specimens collected multiple times daily over the course of infection—in order to fill an important gap in our understanding of the time course of exhaled viral loads in COVID-19.

Large transcellular pores elicited by bacterial mono-ADP-ribosyltransferase (mART) exotoxins inhibiting the small RhoA GTPase compromise the endothelial barrier. Recent advances in biophysical modeling point towards membrane tension and bending rigidity as the minimal set of mechanical parameters determining the nucleation and maximal size of transendothelial cell macroaperture (TEM) tunnels induced by bacterial RhoA-targeting mART exotoxins. We report that cellular depletion of caveolin-1, the membrane-embedded building block of caveolae, and depletion of cavin-1, the master regulator of caveolae invaginations, increase the number of TEMs per cell. The enhanced occurrence of TEM nucleation events correlates with a reduction of cell height, due to the increase of cell spreading and decrease of cell volume, which, together with the disruption of RhoA-driven F-actin meshwork, favor membrane apposition for TEM nucleation. Strikingly, caveolin-1 specifically controls the opening speed of TEMs leading to their dramatic 5.4-fold larger widening. Consistent with the increase of TEM density and width in siCAV1 cells, we record a higher lethality in caveolin-1-deficient mice subjected to a catalytically active mART exotoxin targeting RhoA during staphylococcal bloodstream infection. Combined theoretical modeling with independent biophysical measurements of plasma membrane bending rigidity point toward a specific contribution of caveolin-1 to membrane stiffening in addition to the role of cavin-1/caveolin-1-dependent caveolae in the control of membrane tension homeostasis.

Neural oscillations mediate coordination of activity within and between brain networks, supporting cognition and behaviour. How these processes develop throughout childhood is not only a critical neuroscientific question but could also shed light on the mechanisms underlying neurological and psychiatric disorders. However, measuring the neurodevelopmental trajectory of oscillations has been hampered by confounds from instrumentation. In this paper, we investigate the suitability of a disruptive new imaging platform – Optically Pumped Magnetometer-based magnetoencephalography (OPM-MEG) – to study oscillations during brain development. We show how a unique 192-channel OPM-MEG device, which is adaptable to head size and robust to participant movement, can be used to collect high-fidelity electrophysiological data in individuals aged between 2 and 34 years. Data were collected during a somatosensory task, and we measured both stimulus-induced modulation of beta oscillations in sensory cortex, and whole-brain connectivity, showing that both modulate significantly with age. Moreover, we show that pan-spectral bursts of electrophysiological activity drive beta oscillations throughout neurodevelopment, and how their probability of occurrence and spectral content changes with age. Our results offer new insights into the developmental trajectory of oscillations and provide the first clear evidence that OPM-MEG is an ideal platform for studying electrophysiology in children.

Interpretation of variants identified during genetic testing is a significant clinical challenge. In this study, we developed a high-throughput CDKN2A functional assay and characterized all possible
CDKN2A
missense variants. We found that 17.7% of all missense variants were functionally deleterious. We also used our functional classifications to assess the performance of in silico models that predict the effect of variants, including recently reported models based on machine learning. Notably, we found that all in silico models performed similarly when compared to our functional classifications with accuracies of 39.5-85.4%. Furthermore, while we found that functionally deleterious variants were enriched within ankyrin repeats, we did not identify any residues where all missense variants were functionally deleterious. Our functional classifications are a resource to aid the interpretation of
CDKN2A
variants and have important implications for the application of variant interpretation guidelines, particularly the use of in silico models for clinical variant interpretation.

CEMIP is a protein known for inducing cell migration and binding to hyaluronic acid. Functioning as a hyaluronidase, CEMIP primarily facilitates the breakdown of the extracellular matrix component, hyaluronic acid, thereby regulating various signaling pathways. Recent evidence has highlighted the significant role of CEMIP in different cancers, associating it with diverse pathological states. While identified as a biomarker for several diseases, CEMIP’s mechanism in cancer seems distinct. Accumulating data suggests that CEMIP expression is triggered by chemical modifications to itself and other influencing factors. Transcriptionally, chemical alterations to the CEMIP promoter and involvement of transcription factors such as AP-1, HIF, and NF-κB regulate CEMIP levels. Similarly, specific miRNAs have been found to post-transcriptionally regulate CEMIP. This review provides a comprehensive summary of CEMIP’s role in various cancers and explores how both transcriptional and post-transcriptional mechanisms control its expression.

The experiment was conducted at the Horticulture Farm of Sher-e-Bangla Agricultural University, Dhaka during the period from October 2018 to March 2019. The goal of this study was to determine when to sow cabbage and how much gibberellic acid to use in order to maximize growth and yield. The experiment consisted of two factors: Factor A: Planting time (three different times) as - T1= 05 November; T2= 20 November and T3= 05 December and Factor B: Gibberellic acid (four levels) as- G0= 0 ppm (control); G1= 75 ppm; G2= 95 ppm and G3= 115 ppm GA3, respectively. The two factors experiment was laid out in Randomized Complete Block Design with three replications. Due to the combined effect of Gibberellic acid and planting time, the maximum thickness of head (14.5 cm) and the highest marketable yield (59.4 t/ha) was found from T2G2 whereas the minimum thickness of head (10.8 cm) and the lowest marketable yield (37.1 t/ha) was found from T3G0.  The economic analysis revealed that T2G2 gave the maximum benefit cost ratio (2.57).  That’s why we can consider that 20thNovember planting time along with 95 ppm GA3 was the best combination for growth and yield of cabbage.

Moreover, training is a tool for accomplishingintervention of thelevel of human resource, that becomesincreasingly and pivotalfor the development substantially in all fields with an extending satisfaction in technology. The present investigation was aimed to observe the constraints faced by the vegetable growers in the production of vegetable cultivation. The data of constraints were assembled and analysed by using Garret’s ranking methodology to develop a quantitative position of each constraint. Likewise, data findings were showed that thevegetable growersfacedtechnological, resource, market and miscellaneous constraints. Among technological constraints, lack of knowledge about improved varieties, seed rate including sowing time were prominent. Similarly,regarding resource constraints, high costs of pesticides were more dominant. Furthermore, in case of market constraints, non- remunerative price and poor marketing facilities results, high risk which wasdominant. And last one is miscellaneous constraint, non-availability of labour during peak season and high wages. Therefore, numerous field level constraints faced by the vegetable growers had been recognized as well as categorized into the circumstances for training needs.

Johnson grass (Sorghum halepense) is one of the most detrimental and toxic weeds among the weed species. Its environment is expanding unceasingly due to deeply expanding of its rhizomes in the soil, self-pollinating reproduction strategy, accelerated growth and poor management which results in production losses of major agronomic crops. Mungbean and sorghum are important crops grown on significant acreage around the world, and a major constraint for their production losses is weeds interference. Thus, field studies were conducted to examine Johnson grass interference, control, and recovery under different management practices and cropping system and its effects on crops production and soil health. Our results indicated that the Johnson grass density was minimized by the application of plastic sheet mulch treatment under wheat-mungbean cropping system. Johnson grass competition had a significant impact on growth and grain yield of both mungbean and sorghum. The crop yield parameters; 100 grain weight and grain yield were lowest in the non-treated treatment (control), while the greatest values of these parameters were recorded in the plastic sheet mulch and post emergence herbicide treatments with wheat-mungbean cropping system. Similarly, soil building attributes; available nitrogen, available phosphorus, available potassium and organic matter content were positively affected by the interaction of plastic sheet mulch + wheat-mungbean cropping system. Besides this, benefit-cost ratio of the research shows that wheat-mungbean cropping system with application of plastic sheet mulch and post emergence herbicide also proved to be economically feasible. Overall, we have concluded that wheat-mungbean and wheat-sorghum are most resilient cropping system with the implementation of plastic sheet mulch and Post Emergence Herbicide to suppress the spread of Johnson grass under changing climatic scenarios.

Various studies have focused on improving crop yield through methods like nursery management, transplanting, seed quality, weeding, and pest control. One promising approach involves using Moringa Leaf Extract (MLE), which contains compounds that may boost seed germination, plant growth, and overall crop productivity. MLE can be applied in different ways: soaking seeds (osmopriming), spraying on leaves (foliar spray), or simply using it to hydrate seeds (hydropriming). MLE has been shown to promote better seedling emergence and growth in maize and enhance the performance of tomato and sweet bell pepper plants. It helps plants grow vigorously, maintain proper water balance, improve cell membranes, and increase antioxidant levels, leading to higher yields and better quality produce.

Functional foods containing bioactive compounds may help prevent chronic conditions and promote wellness beyond basic nutrition. Likewise, dietary nutraceutical supplements show promise for reducing disease risk. This review synthesizes current evidence regarding effects of key functional foods and nutraceuticals on outcomes related to cardiovascular disease, cancer, inflammation, immunity, microbiome health, and integrative markers of metabolic health. We specifically summarize findings from clinical trials and experimental studies on foods (e.g. fatty fish, soy, cocoa, nuts, berries, yogurt) and nutritional supplements (e.g. probiotics, vitamins, omega fatty acids, phytochemicals). Collectively, data supports that achieving optimal intake of certain bioactive functional food components may help reduce morbidity and mortality from highly prevalent chronic illnesses. However, further research should continue investigating mechanisms of action, safe effective dosages, nutrigenomic responses, and strategies to improve consumer selection and adherence. Ultimately nutrition-based lifestyle approaches emphasizing functional foods and nutraceuticals aligned with dietary guidance have potential to significantly impact public health by filling nutritional gaps, regulating disease pathways, and promoting protective responses.
