Forest growth trends in Canada
Authors: Loehle Craig , Solarik Kevin A.
Published: January 2020

Reports have identified changes in abiotic factors that potentially affect forest growth. A synthesis of studies of thesechanges in Canada over the past century was undertaken to evaluate how these factors may be influencing forest growth.Reviewed papers used multiple sources of data including long-term inventory plots, tree-ring reconstructions, historicalgeographic data, and forest growth models. The synthesis showed that several positive growth trends were found inBritish Columbia and eastern Canada, while results from the western interior of Canada were mixed. Trembling aspen(Populus tremuloides Michx.) dieback has been noted due to severe and prolonged drought events, with growth reduc-tions and mortality also documented for conifers in the western interior. Studies have also found slow forest expansionin many areas and at the northern tree-line. Overall, authors attributed positive forest growth trends to rising CO2con-centrations, N deposition, increased precipitation, and increased temperature. Growth declines were generally attributedto a combination of increased temperatures and reduced precipitation. Studies also differed due to time periods consid-ered and how age effects were corrected. Methodological issues were identified that led to contradictory results betweensome studies. These issues need further study.

Little is known about the barriers to post-exposure management of rifampicin-resistant tuberculosis (RR-TB) in older children and adolescents. We report on implementation lessons from a pilot programme targeting household-exposed individuals aged 6–18 years in Khayelitsha, South
Africa. Barriers included misperceptions regarding risk of exposure, multiple research and implementation stakeholders, additional workload for an overburdened healthcare system, logistical issues faced by families, and insufficient human and financial resources. Solutions to these barriers
are possible, but creativity and persistence are required. Our experience can guide others looking to roll-out care for children and adolescents exposed to RR-TB.

Authors: Grotta Alexandre , Prado Edmir P.V.
Published: January 2020

Para inovar na educação em programação de computadores, há relatos de mudanças em dois aspectos educacionais. Primeiro, uma maior utilização de métodos construtivistas de ensino, tais como a aprendizagem baseada em projetos (PjBL). Segundo, a introdução de avaliações auxiliares, tais como a motivação dos alunos. No entanto, há também relatos de desafios para a avaliação destes dois aspectos. Assim, dado o continum educacional de programação de computadores, o que avaliar, e como avaliar, no ensino PjBL, com relação à experiência educacional tradicional? Embasado em uma revisão d eliteratura, este ensaio porpões um padrão para estas avaliações, a partir da visão do ensino e da aprendizagem. Primeiro, com relação ao ensino, avaliar métodos e recursos educacionais. Segundo, com relação à aprendizagem, utilizar avaliações auxiliares, tais como a motivação para aprender ou a lacuna cognitiva. Por fim é discutida a possibilidade de que este padrão venha a ser estendido ao ensino computacional e a pesquisas futuras.

Spectral Optimization of Airborne Multispectral Camera for Land Cover Classification: Automatic Feature Selection and Spectral Band Clustering
Authors: Le Bris Arnaud , Chehata Nesrine , Briottet Xavier , Paparoditis Nicolas
Published: January 2020

Hyperspectral imagery consists of hundreds of contiguous spectral bands. However, most of them are redundant. Thus a subset of well-chosen bands is generally sufficient for a specific problem, enabling to design adapted superspectral sensors dedicated to specific land cover classification. Related both to feature selection and extraction, spectral optimization identifies the most relevant band subset for specific applications, involving a band subset relevance score as well as a method to optimize it. This study first focuses on the choice of such relevance score. Several criteria are compared through both quantitative and qualitative analyses. To have a fair comparison, all tested criteria are compared to classic hyperspectral data sets using the same optimization heuristics: an incremental one to assess the impact of the number of selected bands and a stochastic one to obtain several possible good band subsets and to derive band importance measures out of intermediate good band subsets. Last, a specific approach is proposed to cope with the optimization of bandwidth. It consists in building a hierarchy of groups of adjacent bands, according to a score to decide which adjacent bands must be merged, before band selection is performed at the different levels of this hierarchy.
Hydrogen Sulfide as a Factor of Neuroprotection during the Constitutive and Reparative Neurogenesis in Fish Brain
Authors: V. Pushchina Evgeniya , A. Varaksin Anatoly , K. Obukhov Dmitry
Published: January 2020

The H2S-producing systems were studied in trout telencephalon, tectum, and cerebellum at 1 week after eye injury. The results of ELISA analysis have shown a 1.7-fold increase in the CBS expression at 1 week post-injury, as compared to the intact trout. In the ventricular and subventricular regions of trout telencephalon, CBS+ cells, as well as neuroepithelial and glial types, were detected. As a result of injury, the number of CBS+ neuroepithelial cells in the pallial and subpallial periventricular regions of the telencephalon increases. In the tectum, a traumatic damage leads to an increase in the CBS expression in radial glia with a simultaneous decrease in the number of CBS immunopositive neuroepithelial cells detected in intact animals. In the cerebellum, we revealed neuroglial interrelations, in which H2S is probably released from the astrocyte-like cells with subsequent activation of the neuronal NMDA receptors. The organization of the H2S-producing cell complexes suggests that the amount of glutamate produced in the trout cerebellum and its reuptake is controlled with the involvement of astrocyte-like cells, reducing its excitotoxicity. We believe that the increase in the number of H2S-producing cells constitutes a response to oxidative stress, and the overproduction of H2S neutralizes the reactive oxygen species.
Gallium-68: Radiolabeling of Radiopharmaceuticals for PET Imaging - A Lot to Consider
Authors: Meisenheimer Michael , Saenko Yury , Eppard Elisabeth
Published: January 2020

Gallium-68 was applied for positron emission tomography (PET) imaging already in the early beginnings of PET imaging. Today, with the introduction of PSMA-targeting tracers (e.g. PSMA-11, PSMA-617, and PSMA-I&T), the number of clinical applications of 68Ga-radiopharmaceuticals for diagnostic imaging has grown considerably. This development was initiated and supported already in the mid-2000s by the commercial availability of 68Ge/68Ga generators designed for clinical usage. This progression was accompanied by the development of several purification methods to generator eluate as well as sophisticated 68Ga-radiopharmaceuticals. Due to the 68Ga-rush, the need for implementation of gallium-68 (depending on production route) and its certain tracers into the pharmacopeia increased. Based on the specifications given by the pharmacopeia, interest focused on the development of automated synthesis systems, 99mTc-analog kits with regard to patient as well as operator safety.

The chapter focuses on the introduction of open surgery, video-assisted thoracic surgery (VATS), uniportal VATS (UVATS), and robotic-assisted thoracic surgery (RATS) techniques for lung resections. A short introduction on upcoming techniques and modalities is given. The currently available tools as three-dimensional (3D) computed tomography (CT), virtual reality, and endo-bronchial surgery will be discussed. Based on the current development, this chapter attempts to delineate the horizon of oncological lung surgery. The information is generated not only from the available literature, but also from the experiences of surgeons and other physicians as well as co-workers involved in lung cancer treatment around the world. This chapter can be seen as a general introduction to several aspects of oncological lung surgery.
Chess, Games, and Flies
Authors: Franchi Stefano ,   Philosophy Documentation Center
Published: January 2020

Research in Artificial Intelligence has always had a very strong relationship with games and game-playing, and especially with chess. Workers in AI have always denied that this interest was more than purely accidental. Parlor games, they claimed, became a favorite topic of interest because they provided the ideal test case for any simulation of intelligence. Chess is the Drosophila of AI, it was said, with reference to the fruit-fly whose fast reproductive cycle made it into a favorite test bed for genetic theories for almost a century. In this paper I will try to show Artificial Intelligence’s relationship to games is quite different from what this analogy suggests. In fact, I will argue that AI is, at core, a theory of games and a theory of subjectivity as game-playing.
Response Rates and Durations of Response for Biomarker-Based Cancer Drugs in Nonrandomized Versus Randomized Trials
Authors: Gyawali Bishal , D’Andrea Elvira , Franklin Jessica M. , Kesselheim Aaron S.
Published: January 2020

Background: Many new targeted cancer drugs have received FDA approval based on durable responses in nonrandomized controlled trials (non-RCTs). The goal of this study was to evaluate whether the response rates (RRs) and durations of response (DoRs) of targeted cancer drugs observed in non-RCTs are consistent when these drugs are tested in RCTs. Methods: We used the FDA’s Table of Pharmacogenomic Biomarkers in Drug Labeling to identify cancer drugs that were approved based on changes in biomarker endpoints through December 2017. We then identified the non-RCTs and RCTs for these drugs for the given indications and extracted the RRs and DoRs. We compared the RRs and median DoR in non-RCTs versus RCTs using the ratio of RRs and the ratio of DoRs, defined as the RRs (or DoRs) in non-RCTs divided by the RRs (or DoRs) in RCTs. The ratio of RRs or DoRs was pooled across the trial pairs using random-effects meta-analysis. Results: Of the 21 drug–indication pairs selected, both non-RCTs and RCTs were available for 19. The RRs and DoRs in non-RCTs were greater than those in RCTs in 63% and 87% of cases, respectively. The pooled ratio of RRs was 1.06 (95% CI, 0.95–1.20), and the pooled ratio of DoRs was 1.17 (95% CI, 1.03–1.33). RRs and DoRs derived from non-RCTs were also poor surrogates for overall survival derived from RCTs. Conclusions: The RRs were not different between non-RCTs and RCTs of cancer drugs approved based on changes to a biomarker, but the DoRs in non-RCTs were significantly higher than in RCTs. Caution must be exercised when approving or prescribing targeted drugs based on data on durable responses derived from non-RCTs, because the responses could be overestimates and poor predictors of survival benefit.

Among other results, the study showed the recent growth of this sector in Portugal, the importance of measuring customer satisfaction, sharing security activities information with clients and motivated human resources are essential factors in the quality of services provided by companies in the area.
El patrimonio hidráulico en Chile: consideración cultural y turística
Authors: Castejón Porcel Gregorio
Published: January 2020

A pesar de los innumerable recursos de Chile, fundamentados en sus atractivos naturales, en su historia e importantes recursos arqueológicos y en una cultura con raíces indígenas milenarias, el patrimonio tangible e intangible ligado al agua, el patrimonio hidráulico, ha sido, poco estudiado, apenas considerado culturalmente como elemento de interés y pobremente promocionado por los organismos turísticos estatales. Situación incomprensible en un espacio en el que el control y aprovechamiento del agua mediante distintas infraestructuras e ingenios, ha sido, desde tiempos históricos, una cuestión de enorme transcendencia, tanto en los territorios de escasa e incluso nula pluviometría como en aquellos en los que los valores de precipitación son muy elevados.

Despite the innumerable heritage of Chile, based on its natural attractions, in its history and important archaeological resources, and in a culture with thousands-year-old indigenous roots, the tangible and intangible heritage linked to water, the hydraulic heritage, has been scarcely studied, hardly considered culturally as an element of interest and poorly promoted by state tourism agencies. Incomprehensible situation in a space in which the control and the use of water through infrastructures and inventions, has been, since historical times, a matter of enormous importance, both in the territories of hydric scarce, and even zero rainfall, as in those in which the values of precipitation are very high.

Utilizando la Investigación educativa basada en las artes (Arts Based Educational Research) se ha llevado a término la realización y posterior análisis interpretativo de todas las producciones videográficas fundamentadas en el autorretrato tradicional, por tanto, han conformado unos resultados muy interesantes que inducen a reflexionar sobre la utilización y desarrollo de estos nuevos géneros contemporáneos dentro del área de educación artística de los centros educativos. Dentro de esta investigación la creación de las nuevas narrativas audiovisuales como lenguaje artístico en el ámbito escolar abarca gran relevancia. Consideramos la utilización del vídeo como vehículo para la creación de imágenes que al mismo tiempo funciona como herramienta de trabajo imprescindible para la reflexión, indagación y  análisis. Además se constituye como un procedimiento para cuestionar y criticar la imagen sistemática.
Caminar, habitar y percibir Espadán. Arte, patrimonio y cultura visual como herramientas didácticas en la reivindicación del paisaje rural y de montaña
Authors: Bolós Fernando
Published: January 2020

A través del estudio de un entorno de montaña, la Sierra de Espadán (Castellón, España), se pretende indagar entre las relaciones que a través del arte, el patrimonio –material e inmaterial– y la cultura visual se generan entre este espacio concreto y el habitante o visitante. Fruto de esas relaciones se pone en valor el entorno y paisaje de montaña, al tiempo que se produce una aproximación cultural al mundo rural.
La idea fuerza es la de utilizar el arte, la educación artística, el patrimonio y la cultura visual como mediadores entre la ciudad y el entorno rural, entre el ambiente urbano y la naturaleza. Se trata de ver cómo estos elementos mediadores refuerzan la percepción del paisaje de montaña desde múltiples ángulos. Desde lo más poético ­–conectado con ideas y conceptos filosóficos–, a lo más pragmático ­–relacionado con aspectos etnológicos–, pasando por sencillas analogías visuales, no por obvias menos fascinantes.
Se intenta contribuir a una nueva idea de ruralismo, rompiendo con posturas cerradas, prejuicios y clichés establecidos en ambas direcciones: ciudad-campo y campo-ciudad.
Finalmente, el concepto “andar como práctica estética” presenta una forma de tomar conciencia del espacio y apropiarse de él que adquiere una importancia transcendental. Plantea un modo de entender el entorno desde la observación y la experimentación, favoreciendo la creación de vínculos a partir de los que conectar con el paisaje.

Produção cerâmica no início do Neolítico em Portugal: dados recentes sobre os VI e V milénios a.C.
Authors: Carvalho António Faustino
Published: January 2020

Uma caracterização das primeiras cerâmicas neolíticas de Portugal (VI milénio a.C.) foi há poucos anos publicada nas páginas desta mesma revista. No entanto, a investigação mais recente tem vindo a dar atenção a três aspetos, que são discutidos aqui: 1) a relação entre cerâmica cardial e boquique, em que a primeira se pode considerar mais antiga se se atender a uma avaliação crítica da evidência cronoestratigráfica disponível; 2) os novos achados da chamada “cerâmica simbólica”, que incluem abundante evidência de representações antropomórficas e zoomórficas a par de exemplos, mais escassos, de plantas e representações solares; e 3) as análises petrográficas e químicas de cerâmica e argilas, que apontam para a conclusão segundo a qual peças cardiais e com cordões eram transportadas a longa distância por via marítima. Alguns sítios atualmente em estudo poderão proporcionar novos conhecimentos sobreestes temas num futuro próximo.
Evidence of everiday punic culinary habits from Proratiora island, Sardinia
Authors: Hayne Jeremy Mark
Published: January 2020

The preparation and consumption of food in everyday circumstances is an often-overlooked aspect of communal eating and drinking. This article examines a series of cooking pots from the island site of Proratora in north Sardinia which provide the basis for a discussion of ancient Mediterranean consumption practices and raises interesting questions about the way such social practices are the basis of communal identity in a period and place usually understood as divided between the Roman and Carthaginian worlds

Compartmentalized oskar degradation in the germ plasm safeguards germline development
Authors: Eichler Catherine E , Hakes Anna C , Hull Brooke , Gavis Elizabeth R
Published: January 2020

Partitioning of mRNAs into ribonucleoprotein (RNP) granules supports diverse regulatory programs within the crowded cytoplasm. At least two types of RNP granules populate the germ plasm, a cytoplasmic domain at the posterior of the Drosophila oocyte and embryo. Germ granules deliver mRNAs required for germline development to pole cells, the germ cell progenitors. A second type of RNP granule, here named founder granules, contains oskar mRNA, which encodes the germ plasm organizer. Whereas oskar mRNA is essential for germ plasm assembly during oogenesis, we show that it is toxic to pole cells. Founder granules mediate compartmentalized degradation of oskar during embryogenesis to minimize its inheritance by pole cells. Degradation of oskar in founder granules is temporally and mechanistically distinct from degradation of oskar and other mRNAs during the maternal-to-zygotic transition. Our results show how compartmentalization in RNP granules differentially controls fates of mRNAs localized within the same cytoplasmic domain.

Eukaryotic ribosome precursors acquire translation competence in the cytoplasm through stepwise release of bound assembly factors, and proofreading of their functional centers. In case of the pre-60S, these steps include removal of placeholders Rlp24, Arx1 and Mrt4 that prevent premature loading of the ribosomal protein eL24, the protein-folding machinery at the polypeptide exit tunnel (PET), and the ribosomal stalk, respectively. Here, we reveal that sequential ATPase and GTPase activities license release factors Rei1 and Yvh1 to trigger Arx1 and Mrt4 removal. Drg1-ATPase activity removes Rlp24 from the GTPase Nog1 on the pre-60S; consequently, the C-terminal tail of Nog1 is extracted from the PET. These events enable Rei1 to probe PET integrity and catalyze Arx1 release. Concomitantly, Nog1 eviction from the pre-60S permits peptidyl transferase center maturation, and allows Yvh1 to mediate Mrt4 release for stalk assembly. Thus, Nog1 co-ordinates the assembly, maturation and quality control of distant functional centers during ribosome formation.
DNA methylation profiling in recurrent miscarriage

Published: January 2020

Recurrent miscarriage (RM) is a complex clinical problem. However, specific diagnostic biomarkers and candidate regulatory targets have not yet been identified. To explore RM-related biological markers and processes, we performed a genome-wide DNA methylation analysis using the Illumina Infinium HumanMethylation450 array platform. Methylation variable positions and differentially methylated regions (DMRs) were selected using the Limma package in R language. Thereafter, gene ontology (GO) enrichment analysis and pathway enrichment analysis were performed on these DMRs. A total of 1,799 DMRs were filtered out between patients with RM and healthy pregnant women. The GO terms were mainly related to system development, plasma membrane part, and sequence-specific DNA binding, while the enriched pathways included cell adhesion molecules, type I diabetes mellitus, and ECM–receptor interactions. In addition, genes, including ABR, ALCAM, HLA-E, HLA-G, and ISG15, were obtained. These genes may be potential candidates for diagnostic biomarkers and possible regulatory targets in RM. We then detected the mRNA expression levels of the candidate genes. The mRNA expression levels of the candidate genes in the RM group were significantly higher than those in the control group. However, additional research is still required to confirm their potential roles in the occurrence of RM.

Rice, particularly grows in tropical and subtropical areas, is one of the most important crops worldwide. Rice necrosis mosaic virus (RNMV) was first reported in Japan and causes necrotic lesions on leaf and yellowing. This virus has been classified as member of the Potyviridae family's Bymovirus genus. The fungus, Polymixa graminis, transmits RNMV. In this study, the methodology first explained RNMV virus particle - purification by ultra-centrifugation along with sucrose and cesium chloride gradient is described. Further, confirmation of purified RNMV particles under the electron-microscope is discussed. In the last RNMV RNA isolation from the purified RNMV particles were explained.
