Phenotypic implications of genetic interaction networks in Saccharomyces cerevisiae
Authors:   , Busby Bede Phillip
Published: July 2022

Gene functions were studied as extensive networks comprising synergistic functional interactions between overlapping pairs of genes. Elucidation of such networks related to drug phenotypes (statins in this thesis) provides additional information to classical genetics as to what genes and metabolic pathways might be involved in phenotypes and, importantly, where side-effects might arise in drug effects.

A key question is whether there are genetic interaction networks that vary with individuals and with phenotypes. To answer this question a panel of twenty-six fully sequenced yeast strains from the Saccharomyces Genome Resequencing Project (SGRP; Sanger Institute) was screened for statin resistance to approximate a model for individuals in a human population. Three strains (Y55, SK1 and YPS606) were shown to be 500% more resistant to atorvastatin than the S288C laboratory control strain and were selected for further analysis.

Synthetic genetic array analysis (SGA) and chemical genetic profiling were utilised to elucidate genetic interaction networks in the four different strains. SGA analysis depends on the availability of a genome-wide deletion mutant array (DMA) which already exists for S288C and the current studies constructed equivalent Y55-, SK1-, and YS606-strain specific deletion mutant arrays called here “ssDMA’s”. Creating the new ssDMAs involved six back-crossings (1-1/2⁶) of Y55, SK1 and YPS606 with S288C to place the genome-wide deletion mutations of S288C on the genetic background of the strains using appropriate selection markers between each backcrossing. The four DMAs were then subjected to chemical genetic profiling with two statin drugs and also subjected to SGA analysis utilising five query genes chosen for their involvement with the cellular response to statins. The query genes HMG1, HMG2, ARV1, BTS1 and OPI3 were constructed to be strain specific and generated a total 25 genetic interaction networks. The chemical genetic profiles in the ssDMAs identified off-target interactions genes associated with the resistance phenotype in Y55, SK1, and YPS606 that were not observed to show genetic interactions in the more sensitive S288c strain. There was little conservation of the genetic interaction networks elicited by the specific query genes between the strains with the exception of OPI3. There was, however, conservation of fundamental cellular processes, as might be expected, but the genes encoding these processes in the SGAs of the different strains were for the most part different. Therefore, we conclude that the genetic interaction networks concerning statins are different between individuals.
A Shift in Modality; Exploring how landscape architecture design engages with large scale sites.
Authors:   , Jenkins Jacob
Published: July 2022

Landscape architecture for the last 20 years has scratched its head at how to understand large landscapes and human life on the ground together. Recent preoccupations with large scale urbanism, GIS and satellite imagery have drawn attention to this tension. The lack of connection is a persistent problem for the landscape discipline. Evans opened up the discussion of what representations do in architecture. Extending upon Evans, Corner opened up the potential for maps to provide access and the ability to analyse aspects of the landscape that were unavailable to someone on the ground. In the same essay he identified the strong tendency of large scaled representations to disconnect to life on the ground. He offered up techniques to join the power of maps to what happens on the ground and avoid this tendency. Though it is obviously closely related, the challenge of how to connect to life on the ground in the design of large-scaled landscapes has been given less direct attention than how to connect life on the ground using large-scaled representations. This research attempts to explore what digital technologies can contribute to this challenge, in particular drone and photogrammatic processes.

Connolly has developed a critique of Corner’s efforts to connect the map to the ‘ground’. Relatedly, he and his collaborators, have developed a range of techniques for engaging with human life on the ground. This work involves fieldwork into ‘landscape assemblages’ and ‘landscape affects’. Such work has shown that what landscape does involves very particular relations between the moving human body and the spatial relations of the landscape, and that this has not been embraced in recent mappings and large scaled design work, resulting in a deferral from what human life does.

Recent use of drones and photogrammetry in landscape design have tended to be focused on visualisation and/or technoscientific problems. In contrast, the current investigation proposes that drones and photogrammetry have the ability to produce representations of the landscape which capture, on the one hand, the relevant body-landscape relations involved in landscape assemblages, and correlate these with what these landscapes are doing—and on the other, the large scaled relationships associated with large landscape landscapes. This should allow the designer to be able to work between life on the ground and large scaled design much more readily. This work aims to begin to explore and develop ways of thinking, analysing, representing and designing suited to designing large scaled landscapes that are connected to human life.
The Art of Connectivity
Authors:   , Fryer Elizabeth
Published: July 2022

Urban culture has entered a digital age where technology allows us to live, barely setting foot outside. People can now work, shop and order groceries to be delivered to their homes without having to engage with another person face to face. This technology is constantly creating reminders of how “connected” we are without us realising “when we open our computers it’s our doors we shut” (Gary Turk, 2014). People are becoming too consumed in online life and connections being made through “online communities”, without realising the physical community in which we live in is becoming increasingly non-existent.

Looking to new ideas regarding the boundaries between urban and interior spaces, this research explores how applying interior strategies to an urban context, through the use of abstract design thinking can offer more opportunities for creative design decisions. The research focuses on Nelson City, exploring how an architectural intervention will attract people back into the city’s CBD, encouraging a sense of community to be reinstalled.

Design led research is applied to explore how an architectural intervention may be used to revitalise a sense of community within Nelson City. This research has a strong focus on thecreative exploration of the design process, differing from traditional cases where the end product is often decided upon in the beginning of the project and design work applied from there.

The idea of physical disconnection due to increased online connection is a growing problem in today’s urban society. Dynamic and relevant public space within cities is what keeps physical communities alive. It is important that designers explore new techniques for revitalising city centres to ensure physicalconnection is not completely lost in today’s prevailing digital world.
Makers of Moments
Authors:   , Powell Ryan
Published: July 2022

The thesis Makers of Moments develops a series of holiday architectures that inspire unique and profound experience with the ultimate purpose of facilitating memory through place.

The development of a ‘unique and profound’ experience will be carefully considered, recognising the importance of positive and memorable experiences. This research takes the position that design has the potential to aid the development of memorable experience of place to build stronger memory with the understanding, that through these memories there exists many positive sociological and psychological effects. These include strengthened recollection of past, the development of personal identity, and even building national identity (McCabe, 2009, p. 683) (Shaw, Havitz, & Delemere, 2008, p. 17) (Schänzel, 2010, pg.26).

Using the holiday experience as context, and the holiday-associated architectural typologies as ‘place’, the thesis will emphasise a design-led research process that emphasises phenomenology where multi-sensory design is the main motivator to provoke memorable experiences.

A Review on the Management of Gestational Diabetes Mellitus (GDM): Pharmacological and Non-Pharmacological Interventions
Authors: Khan Muhammad Khalid , Baig Rizwan Ullah
Published: July 2022

Gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) is defined as any degree of glucose or carbohydrate intolerance mainly during pregnancy. About 10% to 15% of pregnancies are affected and complicated by gestational diabetes. Due to hormonal changes during pregnancy, the requirement for insulin increases, and thus the usual concentration of insulin previously catered for glycemic control is ineffective. In order to meet the body’s demand, the islet cells secrete a higher amount of insulin. GDM occurs when this higher concentration is also unable to control blood glucose. This increased resistance toward insulin is most noticeable during the third trimester of pregnancy, which gradually normalizes after the termination of pregnancy. Various complications do arise, which affect both the mother and her developing fetus. In the mother, miscarriages, delivery of baby via caesarian section, and other complications may result, whereas the fetus may be affected with congenital abnormalities, neonatal hypoglycemia, and even death. Treatment of GDM includes both non-pharmacological and pharmacological interventions. Pharmacological agents are employed when non-pharmacological interventions fail to achieve the desired target. Glyburide, insulin, and metformin are the commonly used pharmacological agents.
Train Speed Profile Optimization for Energy Saving
Authors: Wang Fei
Published: July 2022

This study aims to optimize energy consumption by modifying the train’s maximal speed and coasting velocity. The methods used in the simulation are brute force and genetic algorithm (GA). The introduction briefly introduces the aim and objectives of the study, as well as the scope and the methodology. The following section gives an overview of the current rail transit development and the existing issues. Despite the rapid development of rail transit and its successful operation, energy consumption is a major issue. The methodology of brute force and genetic algorithm is then introduced. The exact algorithm of the two methods in MATLAB is explained so as to make preparations for the latter simulation optimization. The results from the brute force and genetic algorithm methods are obtained and compared for data analysis. The driving strategy for using STS (Single Train Simulator) is then optimized for an advanced modification. By inserting more values in the code, an optimal speed profile is obtained, and the energy saving target is achieved. Overall, the energy consumption of the studied line could be decreased by optimizing the maximal speed of different sections between the stations and the coasting velocity. However, influencing factors such as service and infrastructure, application of acceleration, and braking power should also be considered as improvements in future studies.

Authors: He Meiqing , Zhang Xixi , Li Hui , Wang Tian
Published: July 2022

Objective: To explore the diagnostic value of serum TSH, ultrasound, and enhanced CT in papillary thyroid carcinoma with lymph node metastasis. Methods: 168 patients who underwent thyroidectomy in Shaanxi Provincial People’s Hospital from January 2020 to December 2021 were selected as the research subjects. Based on the pathological nature (benign or malignant), they were divided into two groups, with 86 patients in the control group and 82 patients in the study group. Based on whether the pathology was accompanied with lymph node metastasis, the PTC group was divided into a lymph node metastasis group and a non-lymph node metastasis group, with 51 and 31 patients in the respective groups. Retrospective analysis was conducted to observe and analyze the pathological results of the thyroid nodules’ thyroid ultrasound results, neck enhanced CT results, and thyroid function test serology results. Results: Compared with the PTC group, there were significant differences in TR classification, ultrasonic lymph nodes, and enhanced CT lymph nodes, but no significant differences in the course of disease, nodule distribution, and the number of nodules between the benign nodule group and PTC group; in the comparison of lymph node metastasis using ultrasound and enhanced CT, the number of patients with ultrasound lymph nodes without abnormal metastasis in the non-metastasis group was 28, while that of the metastasis group was 21; the number of patients with abnormal metastasis in the non-metastasis group was 3, while that of the metastasis group was 30. The number of patients with a single node without metastasis and metastasis was 14 and 8, respectively, whereas the number of patients with multiple nodes without metastasis and metastasis was 17 and 43, respectively. There were statistically significant differences in the number of ultrasound lymph nodes and nodules, but no statistically significant differences in TR classification, enhanced CT lymph nodes, nodules distribution, and disease course. Conclusion: Serum TSH can be used to identify the nature (benign and malignant) of thyroid nodules, and enhanced CT is better than ultrasound when evaluating complex lesions. It can be used as a supplement to ultrasound based on clinical context.
Continuous Soft Chelation in Endodontics

Published: July 2022

Chemome chanical debridement is accompanied by three-dimensional obturation of the root canal system in endodontic therapy. Endodontic irrigation requires sodium hypochlorite (NaOCl) as it dissolves organic matter and disinfects the root canal. The smear layer is removed by chelating agents. Since neither NaOCl nor the chelator ethylene diamine tetraacetic acid (EDTA) fulfills the entire core function required for an ideal irrigating solution, both are concurrently used. As a result, continuous chelation was introduced. When a chelator is coupled with NaOCl, it has antibacterial and proteolytic properties and even the capacity to eliminate the smear layer. It is not only easier than traditional irrigation, but it also improves antimicrobial effectiveness, removal of dentinal debris, and bonding of root filling materials to dentin.

Arguably, party identification model, rational choice model, dominant ideological model are some of the prominent models shaping discussions on voting patterns and behaviour of the electorates. This paper relied on the rational choice model and drew on Presidential elections in Nigeria’s fourth republic to show how important this study is, its implications on sovereignty of the citizens, and the legitimacy of the emerged leaders whether it is based on the evaluative or non-evaluative factors. This study adopted a descriptive survey research design using both quantitative and qualitative methods. The population of the study was 9,018,287 registered voters in Anambra and Lagos States. The sample size was 400 and this was determined by using Taro Yamane formula. Instrument for data collection was validated questionnaire and interview guide. Quantitative data was analysed with the use of descriptive and inferential statistics, while qualitative data were content analysed. The paper concluded that money politics, Ethnicity and religious sentiment served as the determinant of the voting behaviour and choices of Nigerian voters during the presidential election of the fourth republic and this has tremendous implications on citizen’s sovereignty and the legitimacy of any emerged government. The study recommended that there is serious need for the strengthening and building of strong political institutions in the country. Also, there is need for collaboration by both INEC and the Civil Society groups to engage in the political education and re-orientation of both the politicians, voters and all the concerned stakeholders in the electoral processes of the country. Keywords: Rational Choice, Presidential Election, Voters, Fourth Republic and Voting Behaviour.
Protective Factors and Burnout Risk of Teachers During the COVID-19 Pandemic – A Two-Step Cluster Analysis
Authors: Răducu Camelia-Mădălina , Stănculescu Elena
Published: July 2022

Teacher burnout has been shown to be one of the most common negative consequences of the COVID-19 pandemic. This study aimed to identify distinct psychological resources and burnout risk profiles of teachers and examine their association with Kolb’s educator roles and their professional experience. Methods: The survey data were collected from 330 preschool and primary school (84 males, Mage = 38.3, SD = 9.14) teachers using a convenience sampling method. Results: The two-step cluster analysis revealed two distinct profiles. The first profile, “high psychological resources, no burnout risk,” was characterized by absent symptoms of burnout and increased levels of well-being, self-control, and positive emotionality. The second profile, “moderate psychological resources, mild burnout,” was associated with medium levels of well-being, self-control, and positive emotionality accompanied by mild burnout. Our findings highlighted that cluster one had a significantly higher score for the facilitator role and cluster two for the expert and coach roles. Additionally, teachers with less professional experience were more likely to belong to cluster one, considering their adequate skills in digital literacy. Conclusions: These findings provide new insights into the explanation of teacher burnout and the design of intervention programs.

Authors: Günindi Yunus
Published: July 2022

This study aimed to determine whether there is any conspicuous difference in the social adaptation skills of five-year-old preschool children who did not attend any social skills intervention program besides the ongoing curriculum but continued their education process in different environments (face-to-face/online) because of the pandemic. Included in the study were 296 children enrolled in independent kindergartens, who were within the five-year-old age group and were from similar socioeconomic families. Among them, 159 attended face-to-face and 137 attended online classes. At the beginning of their formal education, the Social Adaptation Skills Scale (SASS) was administered to the children in both groups as a pre-test. At the end of the trimester, the SASS was repeated as a post-test. A significant difference was found between the face-to-face education group and the online education group, in favor of the former, in terms of the social adaptation sub-factor of the SASS. Furthermore, the social incompatibility sub-factor scores of the face-to-face education group were significantly lower than those of the children in the online education group.
Synthesis of a new layered Zn(II) coordination polymer via dual-ligand strategy: luminescence sensing for detection of Fe3+ ion
Authors: Yao X.-Q.
Published: July 2022

A new Zn(II) coordination polymer with the formula of [Zn(L)(4,4’-Hbpt)]n (1, H2L = 5-[(3-carboxy-4-hydroxyphenyl)sulfanyl]-2-hydroxybenzoic acid, 4,4’-Hbpt = 1H-3,5-bis(4-pyridyl)-1,2,4-triazole) has been successfully synthesized under hydrothermal conditions. Structural characterization revealed that compound 1 displays a 2D layered structure with 4-connected sql topology. Interlayer N-H…O hydrogen bonds finally directed these 2D layers into an interdigitated 3D supramolecular framework. Interestingly, compound 1 shows moderate sensing ability for the recognition of Fe3+ ion and the minimum limit of detection (LOD) for Fe3+ is 0.05 mM, indicating that such layered structure can be applied as a luminescence probe for the detection of Fe3+ ion.

Published: July 2022

It is clear from the results of our research at the Livestock and Equestrian Training Center that at the age of 6 months, the live weight of zebu ? Simmental hybrids in males was 193.4 kg, while in females it was 171.5 kg. If these indicators are compared with the standard indicators of the Simmental genus, it could be seen that the heterosis in zebu ? Simmental hybrids was more than 20%. In the trisexual hybrids (zebu ? Simmental ? Holstein), the average live weight of males at the age of 6 months was 210.8 kg, and 187.6 kg of females. This means that the live mass indexes of the trisexual hybrids resulted in a heterosis force of 25% of the standard live mass index of the Simmental genus. Revealed the high biological and agricultural characteristics of trisexual hybrids are clearly felt to be superior to other hybrids and crossbreds, due to the period from birth, growth and development characteristics.

Authors: Podoprigorov Yury Nikolaevich , Khyupinin Andrey Alekseevich
Published: July 2022

. In the Astrakhan region, land desertification occurs mainly in the form of deflation and salinization. This process is characterized by the degradation of the vegetation cover, the development of erosion processes and the growth of open sand areas. It is possible to stop the desertification of territories by creating forest protection belts and phytomelioration of degraded phytocenoses. As part of scientific work at the Federal State Budget Scientific Institution "PAFSC RAS" in the period from 2019 to 2021 research was carried out on the cultivation of planting material juzgun of various phenotypes, for use in phytomelioration of arid pastures. As part of the experiment, a leafless dzhugun shrub of various phenotypes (Astrakhan and Kazakh) was sown on planting material under rainfed and irrigated conditions. When growing seedlings on irrigation, the method of drip irrigation was used. According to the results of the study, the following was revealed: the germination of seeds of leafless juzgun on a rainfed land was higher than on irrigation by 1.3-9.9%. The germination of seeds of the Astrakhan phenotype turned out to be 2.5 times better than the Kazakh one on a rainfed land, and on irrigation, the seeds of the Kazakh phenotype had single shoots. The height of plants by the end of the growing season on irrigation exceeded the rainfed variant by 0.35-0.85 m. At the end of the growing season (September-November), depending on the amount of soil moisture (50-60% of HB), after autumn rains, all planting material was planted on arid natural pastures. Seedlings grown on rainfed crops had a survival rate of 37.7 - 49.6%, and on irrigation - 43.4-45.4%.

The article presents an analysis of the effectiveness of    mineral fertilizers in arid conditions of the Saratov Left Bank. Conducted studies on the   mineral fertilization on crops: winter wheat, winter rye, chickpea and sunflower showed that the application of ammonium nitrate before sowing in doses of 110–130 kg/ha in physical weight increases the yield of winter wheat by 0.13 t/ha, or by 14.7%; winter rye – by 0.33 t/ha, or by 19.2%; chickpea - by 0.08 t/ha, or 14.2%, sunflower - by 0.08 t/ha, or 14.7%. It is noted that the efficiency of mineral fertilizers increases in more favorable weather conditions. The calculation of economic efficiency showed that the costs of fertilizing pay off, additional profit in the cultivation of winter wheat amounted to 2937.5 rubles/ha, winter rye - 4327.5 rubles/ha, for chickpea crops - 3106.5 rubles/ha, sunflower - 3115.0 rubles/ha.

Inequality in terms of digital skills is a challenge faced by organizations, both companies and governments to ensure productivity and effectiveness in working from home during Covid-19. The development of digital skills is an important factor that this article tries to discuss. Are the digital skills of employees who do WFH influenced more by the digital leadership of their supervisors or by the digital collaboration they do in their work teams? Empirical research that is cross sectional and involves 160 Manufatur Managers in Tangerang as respondents. Collecting data using an online-questionnaire with a convenience approach and snowballing as a sampling method. The data obtained were analyzed using structural equation modeling based on partial least squares in the format of first order constructs. The results of statistical hypothesis testing explain that digital skills are significantly influenced by digital collaboration and digital collaboration is influenced by digital leadership. Digital leadership has an indirect effect on digital skills. Supervisor leadership during the COVID-19 period should be more directed to encourage the development of digital collaboration so that through this digital skills develop

El nombre de viruela del simio hace referencia a una afección a los monos, pero, en realidad este virus circula de manera natural en mamíferos como ratas de campo, ardillas y otros roedores. La viruela del simio es considerada como una enfermedad esporádica y en los pocos brotes epidémicos que han ocurrido se ha observado la diseminación limitada entre la población humana. Genéticamente, se han identificado dos cladas del virus del simio; la denominada clada de África Occidental y la clada de la cuenca del Congo o África Central. Aun y cuando existe gran variedad de infecciones en animales silvestres, el reservorio natural sigue siendo un misterio para la comunidad científica.

La pandemia de COVID-19 ha impactado grandemente a la salud y economía de todas las sociedades a nivel global. Sin embargo, dentro de una comunidad, no todos sus sectores socioeconómicos se afectaron por igual. Analizaremos como esta pandemia fue percibida y manejada de manera diferente por dos sectores importantes de la población mexicana: vendedores ambulantes y trabajadores formales. En dos estudios científicos se demostró que el 82.6% de los vendedores ambulantes prefirieron exponerse a la enfermedad, en contraste con un 18.4% de los trabajadores formales. Además, los vendedores ambulantes mostraron tener 7 veces menos temor a morir por COVID-19, o tener hasta 16 veces menos preocupación por el incremento de las infecciones de la pandemia. Es importante contemplar este tipo de actitudes que determinan el comportamiento de la gente, que en consecuencia pueden incidir de forma negativa a las estrategias propuestas para el combate a la pandemia. Por ello, posiblemente las recomendaciones realizadas en países desarrollados no necesariamente serían efectivas en países subdesarrollados. Es por eso que analizar el entorno socioeconómico y las necesidades de cada población es importante para así poder diseñar estrategias específicas ante crisis mundiales, como la pandemia de COVID-19.

Los aceites esenciales son una mezcla compleja de más de 100 componentes, cuya función es crucial en la supervivencia de las plantas, ya que, por un lado, atraen a determinados insectos que participan en su polinización y, por el otro lado, debido a su olor, ahuyentan a otros animales depredadores. Gracias a su variedad química, se les han atribuido un gran número de actividades biológicas que han sido aprovechadas en la industria cosmética, alimentaria y farmacéutica. El presente trabajo aborda los aceites esenciales como productos naturales bioactivos, las técnicas más comunes para su extracción y sus principales aplicaciones en el área biológica.

Authors: Gonzalez-Fimbres Roberto Andres
Published: July 2022

Objetivo: Evaluar la influencia del género en las tendencias de uso y utilidad de aplicaciones de actividad física (AF), percepción de salud y razones para el ejercicio en estudiantes universitarios. Metodología: 288 estudiantes universitarios (192 hombres y 96 mujeres), con edades entre 19 a 32 años (M = 22.11, DE = 2.19) contestaron un formulario en línea para indicar su estado de salud, motivaciones para la práctica de la actividad física, comportamientos de descarga y uso de tecnologías móviles además de percepción de utilidad de las aplicaciones móviles. Las diferencias en proporción de uso de las aplicaciones y motivaciones para la práctica de AF entre hombres y mujeres se evaluó usando análisis de Chi cuadrada. Las diferencias de género en la percepción de utilidad de las aplicaciones se evaluaron por medio de U de Mann-Whitney. Resultados: Hombres tienen una mayor percepción de utilidad de las aplicaciones de AF (p < .05), una mayor adherencia al uso de las aplicaciones luego de descargar (p < .05) y mayor percepción de estado de salud (p < .05). No se encontraron diferencias de género en el comportamiento de descarga de aplicaciones en función de la motivación para hacer AF. El uso de aplicaciones móviles de actividad física no influye en la percepción de salud sin importar en género. Conclusiones: Para el diseño de intervenciones con tecnologías móviles se debe considerar diferencias de género. Las intervenciones de actividad física de aplicaciones de AF basadas en género parecen ser más apropiadas para objetivos de salud y rendimiento.
