Dampak Pelayanan Profetik dalam Meningkatkan Iman Orang Percaya
Authors: Saputro Albertus Kurniadi
Published: November 2022

Abstract: Prophetic comes from prophetic English which has a prophetic meaning or nature that exists in a Prophet. Prophetic service is a gift from the Holy Spirit given to a person, with the aim of revealing the Divine message and building up the body of Christ among fellow congregations. This paper focuses on outlining what effect prophetic ministry has on the faith of the congregation. This topic was raised in view of the presence of some who are antipathy when hearing ministries related to prophetic. The causative method with the approach of literature study is used in deciphering and establishing the frame of mind in this paper. The findings are related in this paper that the ministry pertains to the prophetic as a stronghold of the faith of Christianity is test-resistant. Then prophetic-related ministry is also the foundation of the church in empowering the gift of the gift of service. Therefore, believers' attitudes regarding prophetic ministry should not be condescending, do not be skeptical, let alone make fun of. Because prophetic is the color of the ministry that the prophets and apostles in the Bible do.Abstrak: Profetik berasal dari bahasa Inggris prophetical yang mempunyai makna kenabian atau sifat yang ada dalam diri seorang Nabi. Pelayanan yang bercirikan profetik merupakan karunia dari Roh Kudus yang diberikan kepada seseorang, dengan tujuan menyingkapkan pesan Ilahi dan membangun tubuh Kristus di antara sesama jemaat. Tulisan ini berfokus menguraikan apa dampak pelayanan dari profetik bagi iman jemaat. Topik ini diangkat mengingat adanya sebagian yang antipati jika mendengar pelayanan yang berkaitan pada profetik. Metode kauliatiff dengan pendekatan studi literatur digunakan dalam menguraikan dan membangun kerangka berpikir pada tulisan ini. Temuan terkait dalam tulisan ini bahwa pelayanan yang berkaitan pada profetik sebagai benteng iman kekristenan yang tahan uji. Kemudian pelayanan yang berkaitan profetik juga merupakan fondasi gereja dalam memberdayakan karunia karunia pelayanan. Oleh sebab itu, sikap orang percaya terkait pelayanan profetik jangan merendahkan, jangan skeptis, apalagi mengolok-olok. Karena profetik adalah warna dari pelayanan yang dilakukan para nabi dan rasul dalam Alkitab.

Published: November 2022

Este artigo visa traçar o perfil dos professores de Educação Física atuantes no contexto da Educação inclusiva, bem como conhecer a opinião deles sobre a inclusão de alunos com deficiência no ensino regular e verificar se as escolas regulares apresentam acessibilidade física para receber os alunos. Metodologicamente, a pesquisa é de abordagem quantitativa, com objetivo descritivo, do tipo transversal, realizada com a participação de 28 professores atuantes em escolas públicas regulares na cidade de Teresina-PI. Os dados revelam que 67,9% dos pesquisados possuem experiência com alunos deficientes e 71,4% participaram de cursos profissionalizantes para auxiliar a sua prática pedagógica e docente. Entretanto, percebeu-se que 67,9% dos professores revelam que as instalações das escolas públicas no qual atuam não são adaptadas para receber os alunos com deficiências. De modo preocupante, 71,4% dos educadores destacam sobre a escassez e falta de material para garantir um trabalho mais seguro e inclusivo com os alunos deficientes. A pesquisa nos permitiu refletir que a Educação Física inclusiva ainda enfrenta e vivencia inúmeros problemas, em especial, na atuação dos professores, destacando a insuficiência de conhecimento para suprir as necessidades educacionais dos alunos deficientes. Por outro lado, revela que esses profissionais veem como positivo e importante a inclusão dos alunos nas escolas regulares, principalmente para o aprendizado e o respeito às diferenças. Desse modo, podemos destacar que a Educação Física escolar e inclusiva ainda vivencia muitos lemas e dilemas nesse início de século XXI no que tange o trato pedagógico e inclusivo com os alunos deficientes.

Objective To explore the association of sleep characteristics with cardiovascular disease (CVD) using self-reported questionnaires.

Material and Methods 957 adults between 19 and 86 years old were enrolled in this cross-sectional study. The participants were classified into three groups [short (<6h), normal (6-8h), and long (>8h) sleepers] by using multistage stratified cluster sampling. CVD was defined by a positive response to the questions: “Have you been told by a doctor that you have had a heart attack or angina or stroke or have you undergone bypass surgery?”. Sleep quality, utilizing Epworth sleepiness scale, Athens insomnia scale, Pittsburgh sleep quality index and Berlin questionnaire, was also examined.

Results Prevalence of CVD was 9.5%. Individuals with CVD exhibited reduced sleep duration by 33 min (p<0.001) and sleep efficiency by 10% (p<0.001). In multivariable logistic regression analysis, adjusting for subjects’ sociodemographic, lifestyle habits and health related characteristics, short sleep duration was almost three times more frequent in patients with CVD (aOR=2.86, p<0.001 in the entire sample; aOR=2.68, p=0.019 in women and aOR=2.57,p=0.009 in men). Furthermore, CVD was significantly associated with excessive daytime sleepiness (aOR=2.02,p=0.026), insomnia (aOR=1.93, p=0.010), poor sleep quality (aOR=1.90, p=0.006) and increased risk of obstructive sleep apnea (aOR=2.08, p=0.003).

Conclusion Our study highlights a strong correlation of sleep insufficiency with CVD and promotes early pharmacological or cognitive behavioral interventions in order to protect cardiovascular health.

Published: November 2022

Objective This study aimed to translate the Epworth sleepiness scale for children and adolescents (ESS-CHAD) into Brazilian Portuguese.

Material and Methods The translation and language validation processes were carried out through translation, back translation, technical review, assessment of verbal comprehension/clarity of the scale by experts (four pediatric neurologists). After they have reached a final version of the ESS-HAD a sample of asymptomatic children and adolescents that were participants in another sleep project were invited to read and complete the questionnaire to evaluate comprehension by the aimed population.

Results Two independent researchers made the forward translation and it has around 90% of concordance. Minor disagreements were related to the position of adjectives in the sentence. No major difficulties were reported by the 3rd researcher that performed the back translation. After a consensus meeting with the four participants, we have reached a final version of the questionnaire. In the cognitive interviews, the scale was reportedly easy to understand to the 23 respondents. One adolescent suggested clarifying whether question 2 (likelihood of falling asleep watching TV or a video), referred to daytime or nighttime. The total ESS-CHAD score in this asymptomatic sample varied from 0-17, a mean score of 7.08±5.65.

Discussion The final version of the ESS-CHAD in Brazilian Portuguese was approved by the copyright owners and was well understandable by caregivers and adolescents. More studies are now necessary to use this questionnaire in a larger target population to verify its validity and internal consistency.
More than just immaturity: evidence supporting the hypothesis that sleep spindle characteristics reflect GABAergic depolarization in infancy
Authors: Chegodaev Dmitry , Pavlova Polina , Kiselev Sergey
Published: November 2022

Sleep spindles are thalamocortical oscillations with waxing-waning morphology, which comprise the key electroencephalographic (EEG) hallmark of stage 2 non-rapid eye movement sleep. The functional role of sleep spindles is not sufficiently clear, but there is a large body of literature that indicates the relationship between spindle activity and neural plasticity. Many of the spindle parameters (frequency, configuration, duration, density, and topography) vary significantly throughout life. However, the long duration, asynchrony and sharp morphology are the most distinctive characteristics of sleep spindles in infants. This unique infantile phenotype of sleep spindles typically changes after approximately one year of postnatal life in humans. Considering that EEG reflects brain electrochemical activity, there is evidence to suggest that substantial neurochemical events underlie these changes. In this paper, we hypothesize that the GABA (gamma-aminobutyric acid) shift is a key event influencing the sleep spindle phenotype during infancy. We briefly review evidence for the relation between infantile sleep spindles and depolarizing GABA transmission occurring in the developing brain.
Effects of inspiratory muscle training in patients with obstructive sleep apnoea syndrome: a systematic review and meta-analysis
Authors: Dar Javid Ahmad , Mujaddadi Aqsa , Moiz Jamal Ali
Published: November 2022

Obstructive sleep apnoea (OSA) is a common disorder marked by repetitive occurrence of breathing cessation during sleep due to partial or complete upper airway obstruction. An obstructive airway and the successive asphyxia chronically overload the inspiratory muscles resulting in an increased inspiratory effort. The present systematic review aimed to examine the effects of inspiratory muscle training (IMT) on inspiratory muscle strength [maximal inspiratory pressure (PImax)], severity of disease [apnea hypopnoea index (AHI)], sleep quality [Pittsburgh sleep quality index (PSQI)], day time sleepiness [Epworth sleepiness scale (ESS)], lung function [forced expiratory volume in 1 second (FEV1)] and exercise capacity [cardiopulmonary exercise testing, (CPET), 6 minute walk test, (6MWT)] in mild to severe OSA. Among 953 articles retrieved from various databases (PubMed, SCOPUS, Web of Science and Cochrane), 7 articles were found to be eligible for the present review. Randomized controlled trials reporting the effect of IMT in OSA were selected. The quality assessment was conducted using Cochrane risk-of-bias tool for randomized trials. All seven studies were meta-analyzed. The result depicted significant change in PImax, ES 1.73 (95%CI 0.54 to 2.92,p=0.004), PSQI -1.29 (95%CI -1.94 to -0.65,p<0.0001), ESS -1.08 (95% CI -1.79 to - 0.37,p=0.003) and FEV1 0.74 (95%CI 0.20 to 1.28,p=0.007). IMT may be considered as an effective treatment strategy in mild to severe OSA resulting in improved inspiratory muscle strength, sleep quality, daytime sleepiness, and lung function. However, there is still dearth evidence on repercussion of IMT on lung function and exercise capacity and warrants high quality evidence to reach definitive conclusions.

Published: November 2022

One of the most popular dairy products worldwide is yogurt, which flavor is highly influenced by lactic acid content. Yogurts with fruit preparations contain polyphenols, secondary plant metabolites with proven antioxidant properties. As there is no data regarding neither lactate nor polyphenol content in commercial yogurts in Serbia, this study aimed to determine lactate and polyphenol levels, as well as antioxidant activity in selected yogurts. A total of 15 plain and 5 fruit yogurts with strawberry preparations were analyzed. Lactate contents were from 0.83 to 1.33%. Three plain yogurts in plastic containers differed in lactate content. There was no difference in lactate content among the same plain yogurts packed in plastic and Tetra Pack containers. Fruit yogurts with strawberry preparations differed in total polyphenol content in the range from 6.84 to 29.11mg GAE/100 g and antioxidant properties were determined by reducing power test (from 0.22 to 0.79) and DPPH assay (from 28.13 to 87.23%), while there was no difference regarding lactate. Our results provided new information about the levels of lactate, total polyphenols and antioxidant activity of selected commercial yogurts available on the Serbian market.

Personnavne og forenelighed
Authors: Bechsgaard Katrine Kehlet
Published: November 2022

This article discusses the phenomenon of matching personal names, arguing that the term name compatibility (in Danish: navneforenelighed) can be used to describe it. The perception of personal names being more or less compatible is also closely related to the notion of style as it is used in sociolinguistics. When parents, living in all parts of Denmark, who participated in a study carried out in 2012-2013 chose names for their children, it was common for them to consider how the first name matched other names in the family as well as how the name matched the child itself and the perceived identity of the parents. The latter is in line with the views of sociologist Anthony Giddens who argues that an increase in reflexivity and lack of tradition in modern society necessitates that individuals construct their own identities.
an innovative research approach for inclusion studies for those with Traumatic Brain Injury
Authors: Shiels Teresa , Kenny Neil , Shiels Roy , Mannix-McNamara Patricia
Published: November 2022

Students with traumatic brain injury (TBI) are often marginalized in terms of participation in higher education because of an implicit association of TBI with less academic functioning. The first named author is a Ph.D. scholar who aimed to add her voice to the voices of others and examine the lived experience of students with the same condition to identify possible supports that would enhance inclusion in higher education. This research was driven by the desire to illuminate both the hidden nuances of personal experience (hence the use of autoethnography) and to highlight the lack of research about educational participation of TBI survivors. The analysis was from both professional and personal perspectives. Through an examination via an iterative and interconnected research process, the authors explored the question, what are the supports for participation and access for students with TBI in higher education considering the first author’s experiences. Traditional research might provide generalizable data but may not facilitate deep illumination of experience and voice. This examination transcended traditional research and comprised autoethnographic and interview-based inquiry. It challenged the research team to consider different perspectives and to interrogate their own interconnections in the same engagement while working towards the same goal.  The concept of transmethodology will be discussed regarding the development of multiple perspectives that can assist in transgressing the common divisions in the theory and practice divide and explores knowledge of marginalization regarding participation for students with TBI. This paper argues for the importance of innovations such as transmethodology when researching deeply personal phenomena.
Talking, Listening and Emancipation:
Authors: Eriksson Karl , Storgaard Asbjørn
Published: November 2022

This paper adds a phenomenological account to the discussion on what constitutes the favorable prospects of the peer-relation in the context of self-help. By drawing on Heidegger’s lectures on St Paul’s First Thessalonians, and engaging in dialogue with a fictive case, we show that more attention needs to be given to how meaning is enacted, rather than simply adopted, in the peer-relation; that is, away from experiential content towards the process of how experiential knowledge is transferred communicatively. This, we argue, may clarify the underpinnings of the peer-relation and its emancipatory potential. Our findings propose a reconsideration of the role played by communicative activities in self-help. And, whereas storytelling has often been propounded as a way to facilitate agency among self-helpers, also the act of listening should receive more attention. By considering listening as an expression of agency, attention is reversed from self-narration on behalf of the person expected to be helped from it, to participation in another person’s story. The enaction approach to the peer-relation elaborated on in this paper invites the reader to rethink the value of talking and listening in helping relationships.
Influências das relações afetivas entre professores e estudantes no processo de formação

Published: November 2022

Relações afetivas entre professores e estudantes influenciam positiva ou negativamente o processo de aprendizagem. O artigo apresenta resultados de uma pesquisa descritiva de delineamento qualitativo que teve como objetivo compreender a influência da relação afetiva entre professores e estudantes do Curso de Educação Física de uma universidade pública da Bahia, no processo de formação acadêmica. O estudo contou com a colaboração de sete estudantes e quatro professores do referido curso, os quais participaram de entrevistas semiestruturadas do tipo questões estímulo. A análise dos dados foi realizada mediante a técnica Análise de Conteúdo. Os principais resultados indicam que a afetividade, na concepção dos sujeitos que participaram da pesquisa, apresenta diferentes sentidos que se intercruzam, tais como: possibilita um clima propício de aproximação, compreensão, confiança, respeito mútuo, o que favorece a construção de conhecimentos pelos estudantes que se encontram em formação. Contudo, quando a relação entre professores e estudantes é marcada por distanciamento, poder hierárquico e atitudes de soberba, podem ocorrer resultados contraproducentes para a vida acadêmica e pessoal dos graduandos que se sentem desamparados, desmotivados.  Muitas vezes, eles passam a rejeitar os professores e os componentes curriculares ministrados, podendo levar a desistências e atrasos no processo de formação inicial.Palavras-chave: Afeição.

A materialidade dos livros didáticos de Valdemar de Oliveira e a disciplina escolar História Natural/Biologia
Authors: Beserra de Farias Gilmar
Published: November 2022

O objetivo deste trabalho foi o de compreender a materialidade dos livros didáticos de História Natural/Biologia de autoria de Valdemar de Oliveira publicados entre as décadas de 1930 e 1960. Por meio de uma pesquisa documental foram analisados prefácios, capas, folhas de rosto, sumários e introduções de nove livros didáticos, verificando as intenções reveladas pelo autor, as aplicações realizadas e as relações sociais envolvidas no contexto. Quatro situações emergiram e marcaram fortemente a trajetória da disciplina escolar História Natural/Biologia: 1) na década de 1930, houve uma influência dos movimentos da Escola Nova e da Rede de Sociabilidade de Valdemar de Oliveira para a manutenção e valorização da História Natural como disciplina escolar; 2) na década de 1940, a disciplina sofreu uma instabilidade com a mudança de seu nome e alterações na seleção dos conteúdos; 3) na década de 1950, a definição do currículo mínimo e a formação de Valdemar de Oliveira valorizaram os conteúdos de Higiene; 4) na década de 1960, com a LDB flexibilizando os conteúdos, a disciplina escolar Biologia foi tratada como História Natural, até ser suplantada pelo projeto estadunidense BSCS.

Trabalho docente na Educação Profissional: Estado da Questão e especificidades do macrotema “Profissão e Carreira"
Authors: Ferreira Hanuzia Pereira , Andrade Francisca Rejane Bezerra
Published: November 2022

Este artigo apresenta os resultados do mapeamento das produções sobre o tema Trabalho docente na Educação Profissional, com foco nas especificidades do macrotema “Profissão e Carreira”. As questões que orientaram o estudo foram: o trabalho docente na educação profissional, em suas diferenciadas formas de oferta, vem sendo objeto de estudos acadêmicos no Brasil? Em caso positivo, o que vem sendo pesquisado sobre esse tema? As pesquisas revelam um contexto de valorização ou de precarização do trabalho docente? Para responder a tais questionamentos realizou-se o mapeamento do tipo “Estado da Questão” onde se analisou especificamente as produções de egressos de Programas de Pós-Graduação strictu sensu, publicadas entre 2000 e 2020 em duas bases de dados brasileiras. Em conclusão, observou-se que parcela significativa dos estudos mapeados centram as análises na ausência de formação pedagógica específica para os docentes da educação profissional, na defesa da estruturação de identidade docente, na cultura docente e na crítica aos rigorosos mecanismos de controle e avaliação vigentes no sistema educacional do Brasil.  Por sua vez, são escassas as produções que destacam as questões trabalhistas como objeto principal, as quais poderiam contribuir para a construção de políticas de valorização do docente da educação profissional, favorecendo o desenvolvimento de estratégias de reconhecimento profissional docente e a definição de carreiras e salários.
Trabalho como princípio educativo no Instituto Federal de Goiás

Published: November 2022

Este escrito tem como objetivo analisar existência da perspectiva do trabalho como princípio educativo dentro do currículo integrado do Curso Técnico Integrado em Química ofertado pelo Instituto Federal de Educação, Ciência e Tecnologia de Goiás câmpus Anápolis. Metodologicamente, fundamentado em Lüdke e André (1986), foi realizado um estudo documental de caráter quantitativo e qualitativo cujo corpus constituiu-se do Plano de Desenvolvimento Institucional, do Projeto Pedagógico do Curso e de 50 Planos de Ensino Anuais. Ancorado em autores que defendem a Educação Profissional Integrada ao Ensino Médio, buscou-se compreender como a perspectiva da formação omnilateral e do trabalho enquanto princípio educativo foram apresentados nos documentos. Desvelou-se que a formação acadêmica dos docentes atuantes no referido curso por ser centrada no conhecimento específico, acaba por direcionar uma proposta de ensino ainda pautada no conhecimento teórico, enfatizando o conhecimento científico em detrimento da prática e de uma visão mais ampla de homem. A conclusão aponta que o estudante-futuro-trabalhador acaba por ter tem uma formação conteudista, que dicotomiza a teoria e a prática, fator que ofusca compreensão das contradições presentes do mundo do trabalho.

Este artigo é parte de uma pesquisa de doutorado cujo objeto é analisar a Educação Superior ofertada nos Institutos Federais (IFs), então concebidos como um formato singular às universidades tradicionais de pesquisa. Em especial, é focalizada a oferta de cursos de licenciatura e de programas especiais de formação pedagógica, para os quais, legalmente, existe a obrigatoriedade de reserva de 20% das vagas nessas instituições. Neste trabalho, situou-se a inclusão da Educação Superior no contexto da Educação Profissional e Tecnológica, identificaram-se os desafios na implantação das licenciaturas nos IFs, estabeleceram-se pontos de aproximação e/ou distanciamento desses cursos com aqueles ofertados pelas universidades federais e ressaltou-se a relevância dos IFs e de seus cursos para a melhoria da qualidade de vida das pessoas, em especial, em regiões afastadas dos grandes centros urbanos. No que se refere aos aspectos metodológicos, os dados apresentados originam-se de pesquisas, cujas análises foram realizadas por meio de interpretações que permitiram o alcance dos objetivos traçados. Os resultados indicaram desafios na manutenção e na melhoria da infraestrutura das instituições, de financiamento e de ampliação no número de docentes para atender às demandas da verticalização do ensino, das atividades de pesquisa e da extensão. No entanto, os resultados também indicam as potencialidades dos IFs na oferta de cursos de licenciaturas desde que asseguradas as condições necessárias para a qualidade na oferta dos cursos.
Neurocognitive self-empowerment in occupational and managerial contexts: contribution of mindfulness-based neurofeedback protocols
Authors: Rovelli Katia
Published: November 2022

Over the past few years, the importance of applied neuroscience to organizational and professional contexts has grown. The term "neuromanagement" is used in literature to describe this research area. To enhance and/or modify the attitudes and motivations of the diverse professionals working within organizations, neuromanagement took, during the years, the form of a discipline aimed at understanding all those cognitive processes. To distinguish and compare the various neuropsychological peculiarities and identify the individual-specific factors determining the optimization of performance, this paper initially aims to highlight the significance of implementing multi-factorial evaluation procedures. Furthermore, evaluate the contribution of mindfulness-based neurofeedback protocols, considering recent neuroscientific research, and emphasize their use in highlevel professional contexts.

Ponowoczesność, która charakteryzuje się zanikiem barier handlowych, rozpadem tradycyjnych struktur społecznych oraz rozpowszechnieniem etyki konsumpcjonizmu, jest widziana przez wielu socjologów jako wyzwanie dla więzi społecznych, w szczególności tych obywatelskich, odwołujących się do idei dobra wspólnego. Jaką rolę mogą jednak odgrywać w ponowoczesnych społeczeństwach zachodnich aplikacje mobilne promujące ideę niemarnowania jedzenia, nawiązując w ten sposób do kwestii ochrony środowiska przyrodniczego będącego wspólnym dobrem ludzkości? Artykuł eksploruje możliwości wykształcenia się więzi społecznych w obszarze ochrony środowiska dzięki aplikacjom Too Good To Go i Foodsi oraz grupom w mediach społecznościowych zrzeszającym ich użytkowników. Opierając się na wynikach badania ilościowego poprzedzonego analizą treści w grupach użytkowników na portalu Facebook, autorka odpowiada na pytanie, czy aplikacje mobilne mogą stać się podstawą więzi społecznych. Artykuł wykorzystuje teoretyczne ujęcia dotyczące ponowoczesnych przemian i typów więzi społecznych w celu scharakteryzowania relacji, które powstają dzięki nowym mediom.
Digital Oil
Authors: Monteiro Eric
Published: November 2022

How is digitalization of the offshore oil industry fundamentally changing how we understand work and ways of knowing?

Digitalization sits at the forefront of public and academic conversation today, calling into question how we work and how we know. In Digital Oil, Eric Monteiro uses the Norwegian offshore oil and gas industry as a lens to investigate the effects of digitalization on embodied labor and, in doing so, shows how our use of new digital technology transforms work and knowing.

For years, roughnecks have performed the dangerous and unwieldy work of extracting the oil that lies three miles below the seabed along the Norwegian continental shelf. Today, the Norwegian oil industry is largely digital, operated by sensors and driven by data. Digital representations of physical processes inform work practices and decision-making with remotely operated, unmanned deep-sea facilities. Drawing on two decades of in-depth interviews, observations, news clips, and studies of this industry, Monteiro dismantles the divide between the virtual and the physical in Digital Oil.

What is gained or lost when objects and processes become algorithmic phenomena with the digital inferred from the physical? How can data-driven work practices and operational decision-making approximate qualitative interpretation, professional judgement, and evaluation? How are emergent digital platforms and infrastructures, as machineries of knowing, enabling digitalization? In answering these questions Monteiro offers a novel analysis of digitalization as an effort to press the limits of quantification of the qualitative.
Spatiotemporal properties of glutamate input support direction selectivity in the dendrites of retinal starburst amacrine cells

The asymmetric summation of kinetically distinct glutamate inputs across the dendrites of retinal ‘starburst’ amacrine cells is one of the several mechanisms that have been proposed to underlie their direction-selective properties, but experimentally verifying input kinetics has been a challenge. Here, we used two-photon glutamate sensor (iGluSnFR) imaging to directly measure the input kinetics across individual starburst dendrites. We found that signals measured from proximal dendrites were relatively sustained compared to those measured from distal dendrites. These differences were observed across a range of stimulus sizes and appeared to be shaped mainly by excitatory rather than inhibitory network interactions. Temporal deconvolution analysis suggests that the steady-state vesicle release rate was ~3 times larger at proximal sites compared to distal sites. Using a connectomics-inspired computational model, we demonstrate that input kinetics play an important role in shaping direction selectivity at low stimulus velocities. Taken together, these results provide direct support for the ‘space-time wiring’ model for direction selectivity.
Alternative splicing downstream of EMT enhances phenotypic plasticity and malignant behavior in colon cancer

Published: November 2022

Phenotypic plasticity allows carcinoma cells to transiently acquire the quasi-mesenchymal features necessary to detach from the primary mass and proceed along the invasion-metastasis cascade. A broad spectrum of epigenetic mechanisms is likely to cause the epithelial-to-mesenchymal (EMT) and mesenchymal-to-epithelial (MET) transitions necessary to allow local dissemination and distant metastasis. Here, we report on the role played by alternative splicing (AS) in eliciting phenotypic plasticity in epithelial malignancies with focus on colon cancer. By taking advantage of the coexistence of subpopulations of fully epithelial (EpCAMhi) and quasi-mesenchymal and highly metastatic (EpCAMlo) cells in conventional human cancer cell lines, we here show that the differential expression of ESRP1 and other RNA-binding proteins (RBPs) downstream of the EMT master regulator ZEB1 alters the AS pattern of a broad spectrum of targets including CD44 and NUMB, thus resulting in the generation of specific isoforms functionally associated with increased invasion and metastasis. Additional functional and clinical validation studies indicate that both the newly identified RBPs and the CD44s and NUMB2/4 splicing isoforms promote local invasion and distant metastasis and are associated with poor survival in colon cancer. The systematic elucidation of the spectrum of EMT-related RBPs and AS targets in epithelial cancers, apart from the insights in the mechanisms underlying phenotypic plasticity, will lead to the identification of novel and tumor-specific therapeutic targets.
Connecting open data to open access publishing
Authors: Belliard Frederique , De Leeuwe Just , Wang Yan
Published: November 2022

Open data is becoming more and more a recognised research output in the research life cycle. Research validation and replication depend on open data which enriches the research output. Open data goes beyond the traditional article and book publishing format. As such open data reinforces Open Access (OA) publishing, and OA publishing reinforces open data. Open data and OA publishing stimulate collaboration and increase both the impact of research findings and the visibility of researchers and research groups.  
In the past years, funders and institutions developed independently policies that support open data and OA publishing. Researchers are increasingly required to publish OA and make their data open. The question is how we can evaluate the impact of Open data on OA publishing. Subsequently, to what extent does OA publishing influence open data? At the TU Delft, 82% of peer-reviewed articles and 71% of conference papers are published OA in 2021, but how many of those publications refer to open data? We have no records and no traceability processes in place to answer this question. As a consequence, few datastewards took on themselves to count manually the number of OA publications that include open data. It is nevertheless clear some changes need to occur to help open data and OA publishing joining forces. 
The current challenges and barriers faced could be reduced with an increase in OA research outputs (OA books or educational resources), a change in research culture and a change in reviewers’ practices. Recognising and rewarding data publishing; credit data review activities; developing a different workflow of the review process if including data review and requiring different expertise from the reviewers on the data review (data management and research insights) are realistic options. In parallel, new features of innovation for the publishing platform (open data review workflow, link to datasets for download) and for data repositories (quality badge on reviewed datasets, flexibility of incorporating review changes) are worth exploring.
There are few possible solutions or workaround available that could help all. We can make it easy for the researchers by connecting different blocks of open science and optimising the benefits with the Data Access Statement (DAS) as a standard section of the article template and with publishers providing a DAS template with basic requirements. For institutions, having a dashboard connecting all research outputs with DOIs together will be very beneficial. Another option is giving authors control of their publications by publishing their findings in an open peer-reviewed community-driven journal.
Our framework for connecting open data to OA publishing includes an OA publishing platform, data and publication repositories, a funding policy for OA publishing, expertise in Open Science and research lifecycle; and collaboration.
Choice of Aspect in a Russian Modal Construction
Authors: Bernasconi Beatrice
Published: November 2022

Russian aspect has been studied by many scholars over the decades within different perspectives and from different points of view, but its usage still presents challenges and controversial points. Within the cognitive paradigm, Janda and colleagues (Janda and Reynolds 2019; Janda et al. 2019) have recently demonstrated that the choice of aspect in Russian is not always determined by context but is relatively open to construal. In particular, among the cases that are open to construal, modal constructions figure prominently. In this article I present two quantitative studies on the modal construction приходиться/прийтись + infinitive, ‘have to’, with the aim of providing more evidence for their finding. The hypothesis is that the aspect of the infinitive is not fully determined by grammatical context but, to some extent, is open to construal. The first study is an analysis of corpus data taken from the Russian National Corpus. A dataset of 447 examples was annotated for several factors  in order to single out variables that significantly interacts with aspect choice in the infinitive. The second study consists of an experiment with Russian native speakers. An acceptability judgement survey was submitted to 110 informants that had to rate both aspects in the infinitive in the same contexts. In both cases statistical methods were used to analyse the data. Results to the corpus analysis led to the conclusion that no contextual factor significantly influences the choice of aspect, while the answers to the survey demonstrated that both aspects are rated as grammatically acceptable by the majority of the native speakers.

Background

The subtropical dune thicket (hereafter “dune thicket”) of the Cape Floristic Region experiences a wide range of fire exposure throughout the landscape, unlike other dry rainforest formations that rarely experience fire. We sought to determine how fire exposure influences species composition and the architectural composition of dune thicket.

Methods

We used multivariate analysis and diversity indices based on cover abundance of species to describe the species composition, architectural guild composition and structure of dune thicket sites subject to different levels of fire exposure, namely low (fire return interval of >100 years), moderate (fire return interval of 50–100 years), and high (fire return interval of 10–50 years).

Results

The diversity, cover abundance and architectural guild cover abundance of dune thicket canopy species were strongly influenced by the level of fire exposure such that each level was associated with a well-circumscribed vegetation unit. Dune thickets subject to low fire exposure comprises a floristically distinct, low forest characterized by shrubs with one-to-few upright stems (ca. 4–8 m tall) and a relatively small canopy spread (vertical growers). Of the 25 species in this unit, 40% were restricted to it. Dune thickets subject to moderate fire exposure had the highest abundance of lateral spreaders, which are multi-stemmed (ca. 3–6 m tall) species with a large canopy spread and lower stature than vertical growers. None of the 17 species found in this unit was restricted to it. Dune thickets subject to high fire exposure had the highest abundance of hedge-forming shrubs, these being low shrubs (ca. 0.6–1.4 m tall), with numerous shoots arising from an extensive system of below-ground stems. Of the 20 species in this unit, 40% were restricted to it. Multivariate analysis identified three floristic units corresponding to the three fire exposure regimes. Compositional structure, in terms of species and architectural guilds, was most distinctive for dune thickets subject to high and low fire exposure, while the dune thicket subject to moderate fire exposure showed greatest compositional overlap with the other units.

Conclusion

Fire exposure profoundly influenced the composition and structure of dune thicket canopy species in the Cape Floristic Region. In the prolonged absence of fire, the thicket is invaded by vertical-growing species that overtop and outcompete the multi-stemmed, laterally-spreading shrubs that dominate this community. Regular exposure to fire selects for traits that enable thicket species to rapidly compete for canopy cover post-fire via the prolific production of resprouts from basal buds below- and above-ground. The trade-off is that plant height is constrained, as proportionately more resources are allocated to below-ground biomass.

In response to the Commission on Higher Education (CHED) and the accrediting agencies’ requirement, the researchers realized the need for San Pedro College (SPC) Graduate School to conduct tracer studies on their graduates to gauge how well they perform this role, and how well the college performed in developing the competencies of its students and preparing them for the world of work. The study aimed to describe the graduates’ profile, employment characteristics, transition to employment, impact, and extent on their personal and professional growth. Moreover, it also aimed to describe the graduates' overall evaluation of the degree completed and determine the extent to which the core values of SPC have influenced the graduates’ personal and professional growth.

This tracer study utilized the survey research design. The respondents were graduates of the master’s and doctorate programs from the years 2015 to 2020. A validated questionnaire which is a modified version of the tracer study questionnaire from CHED and the University of Santo Tomas (UST) was used to gather the data. The majority of the respondents are female, single, and from Batch 2020. The highest number of graduates are from the Master in Psychology program which is a non-thesis program. Most graduates are employed in the private sector, working as full-time employees that are related to the degree, they earned at SPC Graduate School. They are currently working within five years, just starting their careers, and are locally employed. The majority were not promoted on the job after completing their degree, and some were promoted, and they have permanent status in their current employment. The highest monthly income of the respondents is in the range of 21,000-30,000 Php, and they were also working while earning their degrees in SPC Graduate School. Moreover, the results revealed that SPC Graduate School has a very high impact on the personal and professional growth of the graduates. The graduates generally regarded that their study program contributed to their personal and professional growth. Their overall evaluation of the degree/program they earned at SPC Graduate School is very good. Lastly, the results revealed that the SPC core values highly influenced the graduates' personal and professional growth.

Aims: To assess the clinical presentation and therapeutic interventions administered to patients suffering from MIS-C in a tertiary centre in Western India.

Study Design:  This is a cross sectional observational study.

Place and Duration of Study:  Department of Pediatrics at Rajiv Gandhi Medical College, Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj Hospital, Thane, Maharashtra. It was conducted from September 2021-September 2022.

Methodology: Patients were clinically diagnosed as MIS-C based on the the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) guidelines and retrospective analysis was carried out by reviewing medical records and complementary investigations.

Results: There were 36 children in total, 21 female (58.3%) and 15 males (41.7%) with ages ranging from less than 1 year to 18 years with mean age of 7.2 years. The symptoms were classified based on the organ system involved. Fever was present in most of the patients and Gastrointestinal symptoms in 18 (50%) were the most common followed by respiratory and Central Nervous System symptoms. Investigations revealed that White Blood Cell (WBC) count was predominantly normal in 77.8 %, with lymphocytopenia in 77.8% and reduced Hemoglobin (80.6 %). Inflammatory markers such as D-dimer, Erythrocyte sedimentation rate and serum Ferritin were raised in 94%, 88.9%, 86.1% respectively. Most of the patients 34 (94%), were treated with Intravenous steroids. IV immunoglobulin was given in 29 (80.6%). Out of the total 36 patients, there were 2 deaths.

Conclusion: Although SARS-CoV-2 infection is less severe in children than in adults, some pediatric patients may present with severe symptoms requiring intensive care. This case series of patients with MIS-C post COVID-19 identified patterns of clinical presentation and organ system involvement. Most were treated and responded to steroids and immunoglobulins.
Ascaris lumbricoides Infestation of Bile Ducts: Case Report
Authors: Sarwar Mohammad Saeed , ALakkad Ashraf , Fawzy Hossam Aldin
Published: November 2022

Background: Ascariasis is a common helminthic disease that affects the gastrointestinal tract of human beings and is caused by the Ascaris lumbricoid worm. Most of the time, this parasite resides in the intestinal lumen, but it can occasionally travel to the biliary tract through the ampulla of Vater. The most serious and potentially fatal complication of intestinal ascariasis is biliary ascariasis, which can appear in different ways.

Case Report: A non-diabetic, non-alcoholic female reported to the emergency department with a one-day history of abdominal pain and vomiting with worms. The pain began gradually with a score of 7/10 and rapidly deteriorated during the day, reaching 10/10 at the hospital presentation. The patient also had a significant medical history.  Before papillotomy, she underwent endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography with the removal of one common bile duct (CBD) stone, but no stent was implanted. She had her laparoscopic cholecystectomy done as well. Laboratory examination revealed normal liver function tests and C-reactive protein. While abdominal ultrasound confirmed the presence of hepatic pericholangitis and on ultrasound imaging, the CBD was found to be enlarged approximately 7 mm in diameter and had a linear tubular structure with centre faint echogenicity and periphery tubularity. The ultimate diagnosis of the patient was cholangitis brought on by Ascaris lumbricoides. After the diagnosis, endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography showed sphincterotomy with CBD dilation. The worm was extracted by grasping it with biopsy forceps and pulled out of the papilla using a balloon catheter. The length of the worm was 18 centimeters.

Conclusion: Ascaris is the most frequently occurring disease that can cause biliary complications, such as cholangitis.  This case report suggests that cholangitis caused by Ascaris lumbricoides can be successfully treated with the endoscopic approach, indicating that endoscopy could be a viable option to manage ascaris.
