Peptidomimetic inhibitors of β-strand mediated protein-protein interactions: tuning binding affinity of intrinsically disordered sequences by covalent backbone modification
Authors: Cawood Emma , Baker Emily , Edwards Thomas , Woolfson Derek , Karamanos Theodoros , Andrew Wilson
Published: November 2023

A significant challenge for chemical biology is to develop methods that enable targeting of protein-protein interactions (PPIs). Given that many PPIs involve a folded protein domain and a peptide that is intrinsically disordered in isolation, peptides present potential starting points for designing PPI modulators. Using the interaction between small ubiquitin-like modifiers (SUMO) and SUMO-interacting motifs (SIMs), here we show that N-methylation of the peptide backbone can effectively restrict accessible peptide conformations, predisposing them for protein recognition. Backbone N-methylation in appropriate locations results in faster target binding, and thus higher affinity, as shown by fluorescence anisotropy, relaxation-based NMR experiments, and computational analysis. We show that such higher affinities occur as a consequence of an increase in the energy of the unbound state, and a reduction in the entropic contribution to the binding and activation energies. Thus, backbone N-Methylation may represent a useful modification within the peptidomimetic toolbox to probe β-strand mediated coupled binding and folding interactions and to develop short peptides that inhibit these less targeted PPIs.
Time Use and the Efficiency of Heterogeneous Markups
Authors: Albrecht Brian C. , Phelan Thomas M. , Pretnar Nick
Published: November 2023

What are the welfare implications of markup heterogeneity across firms? In standard monopolistic competition models, such heterogeneity implies inefficiency even in the presence of free entry. We enrich the standard model with heterogeneous firms so that preferences are non-separable in off market time and market consumption and show that this changes the welfare implications of markup heterogeneity. In this context, homogeneity of markups is neither necessary nor sufficient for efficiency. The marginal cost of the marginal firm is weakly inefficiently high when off-market time and market consumption are complements and inefficiently low when they are substitutes, and the equilibrium allocation devotes weakly too few resources to firm creation. However, when off-market time and market consumption are perfect complements, markups are heterogeneous across firms and yet the equilibrium allocation is efficient.
Flow modelling in a straight rigid-walled duct with two rectangular axisymmetric narrowings. Part 2. An alternative approach
Authors: Borysyuk Andriy
Published: November 2023

A second-order technique is suggested to study fluid motion in a two-dimensional hard-walled duct with two abrupt constrictions. In this technique, the governing relationships are integrated via their rewriting in a non-dimensional form, deriving their integral analogues, performing a discretization of the derived integral relationships, simplifying the obtained (after making the discretization) coupled non-linear algebraic equations, and final solving the resulting (after making the simplification) uncoupled linear ones. The discretization consists of the spatial and temporal parts. The first of them is performed with the use of the total variation diminishing scheme and the two-point scheme of discretization of the spatial derivatives, whereas the second one is made on the basis of the implicit three-point non-symmetric backward differencing scheme. The noted uncoupled linear algebraic equations are solved by an appropriate iterative method.

The changing purpose of tertiary education
Authors: McGuinness Wendy
Published: November 2023

​In response to a Government request, the Productivity Com-mission is currently undertaking an inquiry into ‘new models of tertiary education’. At a time when the technological and social climate is changing so rapidly that our current model is struggling to keep up, this inquiry presents an opportunity for the Institute to set out ideas we have gathered as to how New Zealand might adopt a more dynamic tertiary education model that is fit for the 21st century.This think piece explores how the tertiary education system could change today in order to foster the development of skills that will be required of New Zealanders in the long term. In fifty years, the current cohort of young tertiary students will be in their early seventies, and a vastly different set of 17- to 25-year-olds will have inherited the world of tertiary institutions. How can we make space for this difference? How can we prepare our young people for a world that is continuously becoming more connected and therefore more complex? How can we change the purpose of our education system to reflect this?This think piece is broken up into three parts: (i) What have we learnt through hosting public policy workshops for young people? (ii) What is not working? and (iii) How might New Zealand become a trailblazer in tertiary education?
The Victorians had the same concerns about technology as we do
Authors: Dickson Melissa
Published: November 2023

​We live, we are so often told, in an information age. It is an era obsessed with space, time and speed, in which social media inculcates virtual lives that run parallel to our ‘real’ lives and in which communications technologies collapse distances around the globe. Many of us struggle with the bombardment of information we receive and experience anxiety as a result of new media, which we feel threaten our relationships and ‘usual’ modes of human interaction.Though the technologies may change, these fears actually have a very long history: more than a century ago our forebears had the same concerns. Literary, medical and cultural responses in the Victorian age to the perceived problems of stress and overwork anticipate many of the preoccupations of our own era to an extent that is perhaps surprising.

A window into thousands of earthquakes: Results from the Deep Fault Drilling Project (DFDP)
Authors: Boulton Carolyn , Janku-Capova Lucie , Williams Jack , Coussens Jamie
Published: November 2023

In 1941, two geologists, Harold Wellman and Richard Willett, traversed the length of Westland, mapping what would become one of the most influential continental faults in the world, New Zealand’s Alpine Fault (Wellman & Willet 1942). The Alpine Fault strikes down the western edge of the Southern Alps, a youthful mountain range on New Zealand’s South Island (Fig 1). Here, collision between the Australian and Pacific Plates forms peaks over 3000 m in elevation which trap rain-laden clouds, resulting in 5–15 m of precipitation a year in central and south Westland. Driven by gravity, the rain and snow migrate into fractures and voids along the Alpine Fault, becoming heated and saturated with reactive ions along the way. Within the fault zone, these fluids play a fundamental role in the processes that drive earthquake nucleation and rupture propagation. Measurements made, and rocks recovered, from boreholes drilled during phases one and two of the Deep Fault Drilling Project (DFDP) have enabled scientists to document and quantify these processes for the first time.

La investigación en el campo agropecuario es una necesidad en el Ecuador ya que es un país eminentemente agrícola. Por lo que se vuelve imperioso que las universidades públicas y privadas que están inmersas en la formación de profesionales agropecuarios generen conocimientos técnicos y científicos que permitan mejorar la producción agropecuaria del Ecuador. La agricultura considera a las arvenses como indeseables dentro de los agroecosistemas, sin embargo, la mayoría de productores agropecuarios las estiman por su valor y beneficio que aportan en un sistema agrícola. Llamamos malas hierbas a aquellas plantas que crecen siempre o de forma predominante en campos marcadamente alterados por el hombre y que resultan no deseables para él en un lugar y momento determinados. El estudio, identificación y manejo de arvenses o malezas, permite generar información para realizar el control de arvenses o malezas, y así evitar la competencia por luz, agua y nutrientes con los cultivos especialmente hortalizas y frutales. Los productores agropecuarios incrementan sus costos de producción por el control de malezas, debido a que si no lo realizan adecuadamente pueden perder más del 50 % de sus cosechas en algunos casos y en otros si no se controla oportunamente las malezas pueden causar la pérdida total del cultivo. Actualmente se considera que la presencia de arvenses en los cultivos especialmente de tipo hortícola y frutales tiene una profunda incidencia en la composición e interacciones de la entomofauna presente en ellos, a tal punto que se puede indicar que los insectos predadores y parasitoides son más efectivos en habitad complejos y estos pueden ser proporcionados por las arvenses. Con la publicación de este libro no se pretende cubrir o suplir la bibliografía existente, sino simplemente servir de texto de consulta para docentes, estudiantes y lectores en general que están inmersos dentro del campo de la producción agropecuaria y podrían ayudar a generar conocimiento y tecnología agropecuaria.

Published: November 2023

This article aims to explain the choice of music among adolescents with a focus on popular music and classical music. The research was conducted on 12 Junior High School (SMP) students at 12-14 years. The study was conducted qualitatively through virtual interviews using Zoom Cloud Meeting. The Sampling technique used purposive sampling based on the specified criteria: (1) active as music listeners; (2) listening to music for 120 minutes per week; (3) willing to take part in the interview stage in 180 minutes. Observations were made on the adolescents' responses to visual, audio, and audiovisual shows presented by researchers through Microsoft Powerpoint during the interview session. This study shows that teenagers tend to choose popular music and classical music due to several factors, namely the experience of listening to music and the environment in which they live. Adolescents who choose classical music are supported by their environment and family background who are familiar with classical music. Classical music is less popular among teenagers because of limited references and difficulties in enjoying or interpreting music without lyrics. Teenagers choose popular music for its uplifting beats and understandable lyrics.  This research presents the heterogeneity of subjects from different cities which can open up opportunities for further studies.

A review of ambiguity, timing, and the multiple-streams policy analysis framework
Authors: Song Yuanyuan
Published: November 2023

An important question that needs to be traced in research in the area of policy processes is why some issues are successfully added to the policy agenda while others may "fail". It is necessary to explore what influences policy makers to focus on certain issues. Kingdon's multiple streams framework of analysis provides valuable insights. Based on an analysis of the context and foundational elements of the multiple streams framework, this paper reviews the framework on the basis of an overview of the relevant theories, and responds to the problems of the theoretical model in terms of the independence of the three streams, the neglect of institutional, economic and cultural factors, and the lack of predictability of reality.

Published: November 2023

Medicinal plants have been used in treatment of human ailments and diseases before the advent of science. Paucity of knowledge of the active ingredients is a major setback in the practice of herbal medicine. This work compared the active ingredients in the leaves of two common anti-measle botanicals (Calotropis procera, Vernonia amygdalina) in Osun State, Nigeria. The ethnobotanical survey was carried out through visits to medicinal plant users such as native doctors, farmers, herbalists and the medicinal plant dealers within the State. 10g of sample of each medicinal plant measured into the amber bottle with the addition of 20ml methanol was subjected to High Performance Liquid Chromatography (HPLC); a method used to separate mixture of complex samples. Results of the phytochemical analysis revealed Calotropis procera having Tyranton as the highest phytochemical extract which possessess cytotoxic effects towards human viral infections. Calotropis procera and Vernonia amygdalina extracts are very useful in the utilization of anti-measle infection. These can be recommended to the medicinal plant users as being effective against the aforementioned ailment.
Exploring the integration of culture in Moroccan EFL textbooks: The case of reading texts
Authors: Hicham Astaifi
Published: November 2023

The intercultural communicative competence approach has recently become a crucial topic in the field of education and language teaching, and a new perspective of ELT in higher education. It is also considered a prerequisite approach for developing students’ intellectual and personal growth and their effective international integration. The present study investigates the integration of culture in Moroccan EFL textbooks and its effects on learners' intercultural competence. The study adopts a quantitative research design, focusing on the statistical description of the various cultural categories included in the textbooks. The study aims to answer two research questions, namely · To what extent is the cultural dimension included in Moroccan EFL textbooks, and what are its components? · What is the likelihood of the use of culture in Moroccan EFL textbooks to promote learners' intercultural awareness? Three textbooks were selected and analyzed in light of the different cultural categories selected, such as source culture, target culture, and international target culture. The results showed that the textbooks focused on the source culture, with limited representation of foreign cultures. The integration of culture in textbooks was found inadequate to promote learners' intercultural awareness. The study's findings suggest that Moroccan EFL textbooks need a more comprehensive and balanced representation of cultures. This would help learners develop a deeper understanding of diverse cultures and their own culture, and promote their intercultural competence.

The study delves into the economic dynamics of Goa over a 26-year period, examining sector-wise contributions and their implications for the state's economic growth. Leveraging secondary data from credible sources like the RBI Handbook of Statistics and the Census Report, the research utilized various statistical tools including cointegration analyses, correlation studies, and causal inferences to explore relationships among Agriculture, Industry, Manufacturing, and Services vis-a-vis the state's Net State Domestic Product (NSDP). The findings reveal a significant shift in Goa's economic landscape, with a decline in the Agricultural sector's contribution, a steady ascent of the Service sector, and consistent roles played by Industry and Manufacturing. The statistical analyses depict the Manufacturing sector as statistically insignificant in influencing long-term economic growth. The research emphasizes the need for strategic interventions to rejuvenate the manufacturing sector for a more substantial contribution to Goa's economic growth. Additionally, the study highlights the vulnerability of Goa's economy to diverse factors and recommends balanced growth strategies across sectors to ensure sustained and diverse economic development in the state. Overall, this research contributes to a nuanced understanding of Goa's economic evolution and presents key insights into its economic trends and the interplay between different sectors and economic growth dynamics.
