Screening of anti-nematode potential through inhibition of egg hatching in plant-parasitic nematode Meloidogyne javanica
Authors: Shakya Shilpy , Yadav Bindhya Chal
Published: June 2020

Plant-parasitic nematodes have emerged as nature’s most successful among all parasites known till today. These animals have been reported from all terrains of all ecosystems. Their capability to survive on a wide diversity of the host plants, circumvent host plant defence is a few of several of their secrets making them most successful of all known parasites. Among various groups of plant-parasitic nematodes, endo-parasitic nematodes are the most damaging one and also difficult to control. Meloidogyne sps. are commonly known as root-knot nematodes. Our inability to control them is primarily due to our poor understanding of the biology of these plant parasites. Due to the availability of the complete genome sequence of few Meloidogyne species, biotechnological interventions are used to unravel the secrets of their success. Chemical controls of these nematodes are extensively reported in the literature. Due to the environmental toxicity associated with these chemicals, and restrictions on the use of chemicals against nematodes led to screening and development of eco-friendly management strategies. The present study was conducted to screen nematotoxic properties of Neem (Azadirachta indica), Jatropha (Jatropha curcas), Kachnar (Bauhinia variegate), Bel (Aegle marmelos) and Eucalyptus (Eucalyptus globules) leaf extracts against root-knot nematode Meloidogyne javanica in vitro. The aqueous extracts were used against the hatching of the nematode eggs, movement of second stage juveniles (J2) and the viability of the J2 in increasing concentration of the bioactive compound. The eggs were treated with various concentrations of the selected extracts for different time periods ranging from 24h to 6 days. A significant inhibition of egg hatching and increase in the mortality of the nematode juvenile in few of the aqueous extracts were recorded. Reduced egg hatching and increased mortality of the nematode juveniles could be maybe the indicators of the presence of anti-nematode potential in the selected plant leaves. The results from the study can pave the way for the development of eco-friendly management strategies for plant-parasitic nematodes.

The study empirically investigated the determinants of Environmental Quality using energy utilization intensity, and globalization. The investigation determines linear, inverted U shaped or N shaped relationship between CO2 emission and GDP using panel ARDL approach. 64 countries are selected for making two panel data models of developed economies and developing economies for the time period 1970-2015. The outcomes showed that in long run increase in the energy use intensity and the global integration lead to an increase in the CO2 emissions. In the case ofGDP, the study has confirmed an inverted U shape relationship proposing prospects of green growth. Hence, results of the study found that there is significant evidence of global environmental Kuznets curve for both economies. In comparison, developing economies pollute more with an increase in GDP, but they are also expected to revert faster towards green growth as compared to developed economies.

Published: June 2020

This study aims to examine the role of information disclosure in determining retail investor trading behavior. The approach of the study is deductive, while the quantitative strategy is adopted by using a survey questionnaire for data collection. Primary data was collected from 386 retail investors actively involved in stock trading at Pakistan Stock Exchange (PSX). Theoretical underpinning is based on the signaling theory. Covariance based structural equation modeling (SEM) has carried out to statistically examine the strength of the proposed model.The key findings of this study exhibit that on average, retail investors invest in firms with detailed financial and non-financial disclosures. The result also shows the intervening influence of perceived corporate image on retail investor decisions. Categorically, the finding of this study indicates that improved financial and non-financial disclosure practices support retail Investors to make sound stock investment decisions. The proposed model is novel to insight into the retail investor investment decision in the context of Pakistan.The results should be of interest to firms reporting detail and cohesive non-financial information with the presumption that it is requisite to influence the investor's investment decision making. The result reflects the mismatch between retail Investors' preferences and firm's information reporting practices, which in turn affect their appeal toward investment decisions. This study contributes to the comprehension of the information needs of retail investors and how it hailed their trading behavior.  The findings of the study remain robust to firms listed on a stock exchange and retail Investor involved in stock trading.

Objetivo: Verificar a influência dos fatores genéticos sobre a etiologia da Hipomineralização Molar-Incisivo (HMI). Métodos: Pesquisaram-se os descritores cadastrados no MeSH “genetics”, “dental enamel hypoplasia”, “molar” e “incisor” na base de dados Pubmed, conectados pelo operador booleano “AND”. No período entre 2009 a 2019, encontraram-se 15 estudos, dos quais, após a leitura de títulos e resumos, foram selecionados 8. Foram incluídos estudos em humanos e em animais que abordassem a temática, excluindo-se as revisões de literatura, relatos de caso e os estudos indisponíveis. Resultados: 3 estudos concluíram que existe uma forte associação dos genes amelogenina, enamelina, SCUBE1 e FAM83H com a HMI. 1 estudo sugeriu que mutações no gene STIM1 afetam o processo de maturação dos ameloblastos, enquanto outro estudo evidenciou que a interação epitelial entre fibronectina e integrina β1 é importante para a formação do esmalte. 1 estudo inferiu que há uma maior prevalência de HMI em gêmeos monozigóticos em comparação a dizigóticos. 2 estudos concluíram que as variações nos genes relacionados à amelogênese estavam associadas ao desenvolvimento da HMI. Considerações Finais: Os estudos sugerem que existe uma influência genética sobre a etiologia da HMI, aliada aos fatores ambientais, socioeconômicos e as condições sistêmicas do indivíduo.

In this report, we describe meningioangiomatosis in a previously healthy 17-year-old woman who presented with seizures and continued headache and dizziness. This patient presented with a predominately calcified lesion on imaging and eventually underwent near total resection. Meningioangiomatosis is difficult to preoperatively identify, but is an important consideration as prognosis with surgical resection is typically good.

The discovery of high-affinity peptides to many intracellular targets has become feasible through the development of diverse macrocyclic peptide libraries. But lack of cell permeability is a key feature hampering the use of these peptides as therapeutics. Here, we develop a set of small, cyclic peptide carriers that efficiently carry cargoes into the cytosol. These peptides are cyclized via side-chain alkylation, which makes them ideal for the creation of diverse mRNA or phage-displayed libraries with intrinsic cell permeability.

Biomaterials with dynamically tunable properties are critical for a range of applications in regenerative medicine and basic biology. In this work, we show the reversible control of gelatin methacrylate (GelMA) hydrogel stiffness through the use of DNA crosslinkers. We replaced some of the inter-GelMA crosslinks with double-stranded DNA, allowing for their removal via toehold-mediated strand displacement. The crosslinks could be restored by adding fresh dsDNA with complementary handles to the hydrogel. The elastic modulus (G’) of the hydrogels could be tuned between 500 and 1000 Pa, reversibly, over two cycles without degradation of performance. By functionalizing the gels with a second DNA strand, it was possible to control the crosslink density and a model ligand in an orthogonal fashion with two different displacement strands. Our results demonstrate the potential for DNA to reversibly control both stiffness and ligand presentation in a protein-based hydrogel, and will be useful for teasing apart the spatiotemporal behavior of encapsulated cells.

2,5-Bis(tert-butyldimethylsilyloxy)furans are established as masked vicinal bisketenes for application as dienes in the Diels–Alder reaction. Cycloaddition with olefinic dienophiles, under exceptionally mild conditions, enables convergent access to highly substituted para-hydroquinones in unprotected form via a one-pot Diels–Alder/ring-opening/tautomerization sequence. The synthesis of para-benzoquinones from acetylenic dienophiles, including benzynes, is also demonstrated, and 2,5-bis(tert-butyldimethylsilyloxy)pyrroles are established as competent dienes for the synthesis of para-iminoquinones. Application in natural product synthesis enables gram-scale access to the neuroprotective agent (±)-indanostatin.

Despite progress in solid-state battery engineering, our understanding of the chemo-mechanical phenomena that govern electrochemical behavior and stability at solid-solid interfaces remains limited compared to solid-liquid interfaces. Here, we use operando synchrotron X-ray computed microtomography to investigate the evolution of lithium/solid-state electrolyte interfaces during battery cycling, revealing how the complex interplay between void formation, interphase growth, and volumetric changes determines cell behavior. Void formation during lithium stripping is directly visualized in symmetric cells, and the loss of contact at the interface between lithium and the solid-state electrolyte (Li10SnP2S12) is found to be the primary cause of cell failure. Reductive interphase formation within the solid-state electrolyte is simultaneously observed, and image segmentation reveals that the interphase is redox-active upon charge. At the cell level, we postulate that global volume changes and loss of stack pressure occur due to partial molar volume mismatches at either electrode. These results provide new insight into how chemo-mechanical phenomena can impact cell performance, which is necessary to understand for the development of solid-state batteries.
Mixed Ligand PolyMOFs via RAFT Polymerization
Authors: Pearson Matthew A. , Dinca Mircea , Johnson Jeremiah
Published: June 2020

The synthesis of metal–organic frameworks with organic linkers connected through a flexible polymer backbone (polyMOFs) has relied on macromolecular ligands with limited control over molecular weight and dispersity. An approach utilizing a reversible deactivation radical polymerization (RDRP) would significantly expand the scope of this emerging class of materials. Herein, we report the synthesis of polyMOFs from macromolecular ligands prepared by reversible addition fragmentation chain transfer (RAFT) polymerization, in which the key MOF-forming benzenedicarboxylic acid (H2bdc) linkers are on pendant side chains. While the macromolecular ligands alone were found to produce amorphous materials upon exposure to metal ions, addition of 1–3 equivalents of free H2bdc yielded mixed-ligand polyMOFs with tunable properties based on the amount of H2bdc added, including stability under ambient conditions and BET surface areas up to 608 m2/g. The combination of RDRP and mixed ligand strategies opens new possibilities for tuning the properties of polyMOFs through tailoring macromolecular ligand architecture and free linker composition.
Las industrias periodísticas en la era de internet: el caso de los medios noticiosos colombianos en Google News Colombia
Authors: Cobos Tania Lucía
Published: June 2020

En la era de los medios noticiosos en internet, cabe analizar la forma como aparecen los medios colombianos en la edición de Google News Colombia en los aspectos de identificación, visibilidad y rol de proveedor. Google News, propiedad de Google, es un agregador de noticias con 72 ediciones internacionales que, de forma automatizada, sin editores humanos, toma fragmentos de noticias de miles de medios, sin pagar por ello, y los organiza, jerarquiza y ofrece a las audiencias a través de la web y aplicaciones. En un web scraping realizado desde el 1 de enero al 31 de marzo del 2015, se capturaron 1 222 320 noticias, a partir de las cuales se identificaron 1216 medios noticiosos; de ellos 111 eran colombianos, quienes a su vez aportaron el 63 % de las noticias capturadas y el 42,3 % de las noticias únicas presentes en la edición. Se identificó a ElTiempo.com y Caracol Radio, grandes, tradicionales y populares medios, como aquellos que tuvieron las mayores cuotas de agregación, tanto en noticias capturadas (visibilidad) como en noticias únicas (proveedor). En paralelo, a partir de una revisión documental, se encontró que ElTiempo.com aplicó una política de no mencionar a Google como una forma de protesta por la agregación; en contraposición de un medio pequeño y nativo digital como TuSemanario.com que la celebraba, ya que aparecía junto a grandes medios noticiosos colombianos.

Sodium alginate, calcium carbonate, and guar gum were mixed with oils such as olive oil (OO), sesame oil (SO), and medium chain triglyceride (MCT). The oily formulations were found to simplify the preparation of in situ floating gel. This was the aim of this study using ketoconazole (keto) as a model drug. The investigations for the floating property were established by In vitro gelling capacity study and In vitro floating study. Additionally, in vitro release study was applied to find the best formulations to delay the release of keto. Then, selected formulations were studied by FTIR and SEM. Lastly, in vivo gelation was performed to examine the gelation in the rat’s stomach. The results showed all formulations were floating after successful gelation as the least amount of sodium alginate to gel oils was 20% w/w. The gels in SO and OO were better than MCT in delaying keto release, and 30% w/w sodium alginate in SO was the best to delay the release of keto within 8 hours of the release study. Selected gels showed interactions between the keto molecules and the molecules of the gel contents by FTIR study, and SEM showed a difference in the internal structure of selected formulations. Lastly, the 30% w/w sodium alginate in SO proved to gel and remain in the rat's stomach in the following periods: 30 min, 1 hour, 2 hours, and after 8 hours. Oily suspension formulations showed floating properties in the stomach and slowed the release of keto and specifically 30% w/w of sodium alginate in SO.
“What Others Dare Not Say”: An Antisemitic Conspiracy Fantasy and its YouTube Audience
Authors: Allington Daniel , Joshi Tanvi
Published: June 2020

The YouTube video-sharing platform is one of the most important sites for the dissemination of conspiracy theory, or—to give it a more accurately descriptive term—conspiracy fantasy. After surveying the historical and contemporary evidence for the role of conspiracy fantasy in right-wing violent extremism, this article turns its focus to a YouTube video excerpted from a public lecture in which professional conspiracy theorist David Icke purports to expose members of a “Rothschild Zionist” secret society. First, historical discourse analysis is used to situate Icke’s fantasy within the antisemitic tradition of the extreme right. Then, the reception of Icke’s fantasy is studied through quantitative content analysis of YouTube user comments (n = 1123). Comments supportive of the video and its creator are found to outnumber comments that challenge them, as are comments expressing hostility to Jews or extending the video’s accusations against “Rothschild Zionists” to real-world Jewish collectivities. Moreover, the most popular comments are found to be disproportionately likely to be supportive of Icke or his video or otherwise anti-Jewish. These findings provide evidence that at least the active portion of the video’s YouTube audience may have had a tendency not only towards support of Icke’s ideas but also towards linkage of those ideas with an overtly antisemitic worldview. It is argued that YouTube’s ranking of comments by popularity may be serving to insulate harmful fantasies such as Icke’s from rational challenge by rendering genuinely critical responses invisible. This illustrates the dangers of outsourcing the evaluation of content to an online user community. But it also suggests that YouTube’s user interface design may be actively contributing to the spread of misinformation and bigotry by placing those who try to oppose them at a disadvantage.

A PolSAR Scattering Power Factorization Framework and Novel Roll-Invariant Parameter-Based Unsupervised Classification Scheme Using a Geodesic Distance
Authors: Ratha D , Pottier E , Bhattacharya A , Frery Alejandro
Published: June 2020

© 1980-2012 IEEE. We propose a generic scattering power factorization framework (SPFF) for polarimetric synthetic aperture radar (PolSAR) data to directly obtain N scattering power components along with a residue power component for each pixel. Each scattering power component is factorized into similarity (or dissimilarity) using elementary targets and a generalized volume model. The similarity measure is derived using a geodesic distance between pairs of 4× 4 real Kennaugh matrices. In standard model-based decomposition schemes, the 3× 3 Hermitian-positive semi-definite covariance (or coherency) matrix is expressed as a weighted linear combination of scattering targets following a fixed hierarchical process. In contrast, under the proposed framework, a convex splitting of unity is performed to obtain the weights while preserving the dominance of the scattering components. The product of the total power (Span) with these weights provides the nonnegative scattering power components. Furthermore, the framework, along with the geodesic distance (GD) is effectively used to obtain specific roll-invariant parameters such as scattering-type parameter (αGD), helicity parameter (τ GD), and purity parameter (PGD). A PGD/αGD unsupervised classification scheme is also proposed for PolSAR images. The SPFF, the roll invariant parameters, and the classification results are assessed using C-band RADARSAT-2 and L-band ALOS-2 images of San Francisco.
