Authors: Couto Cirleine Costa , Furtado Maria Cândida de Carvalho , Zilly Adriana , Silva Marta Angélica Iossi
Published: March 2020

Objetivou-se compreender como a experiência com o autismo pode impactar na identificação de traços autísticos em alunos, pelos professores da Educação Infantil, sob a perspectiva do diagnóstico precoce e da inclusão escolar. A abordagem metodológica foi de cunho qualitativo. Participaram do estudo dez professores de dez Centros Municipais de Educação Infantil de Foz do Iguaçu, Paraná, Brasil. Os dados foram coletados por meio de entrevistas semiestruturadas e analisados segundo análise de conteúdo, modalidade temática. Evidenciaram-se dois núcleos temáticos: “Conhecimentos, experiências e percepções sobre o TEA” e “O professor frente ao aluno com TEA e os investimentos para a detecção e inclusão”. Concluiu-se que os professores são capazes de identificar sinais de autismo, contribuindo para o diagnóstico precoce e que experiências positivas cooperaram para a acurácia na detecção e para a inclusão escolar. Ações intersetoriais e interprofissionais necessitam ser ampliadas a fim de oportunizar o acolhimento e o cuidado integral.

Authors: Honorato Vitor Barbato , Violin Fabio Luciano
Published: March 2020

O crescimento do segmento de turismo ligado à natureza nos últimos anos possibilita a abertura de novos mercados com o mesmo intuito. O astroturismo terrestre é um modelo de nicho que pode se aproveitar desse aumento de interesse tanto turístico quanto em relação à astronomia. O estudo trata das principais bases do astroturismo, estudando o que delimita suas implicações e benefícios, considerando posteriormente o Parque Estadual Morro do Diabo (PEMD), localizado no extremo oeste do estado de São Paulo, pertencente ao município de Teodoro Sampaio, como exemplo de uma possível aplicação. A pesquisa baseia-se na proposta do astroturismo como uma alternativa de turismo sustentável e na sua possibilidade de implantação analisando um local. Demonstrou-se que este segmento turístico é benéfico em diversas áreas, tanto em relação a saúde humana, qualidade ambiental e proteção de patrimônio mundial, devendo ser aplicado em áreas que têm possibilidade de acomodação desse tipo de atividade, elemento passível de consideração no local analisado.

Historical presence of Spissistilus festinus in the Willamette Valley is discussed. Voucher specimens were deposited in the Oregon State Arthropod Collection and at the United States National Museum of Natural History.
Game of Thrones: Music in Complex TV
Authors: Broad Leah
Published: March 2020

The past thirty years of American TV has seen the rise of what television scholar Jason Mittell terms ‘Complex TV’. These are TV series that prioritise narrative complexity, balancing between serial and episodic storytelling modes. This article explores the role that music plays in this serialized form, using Ramin Djawadi’s score for Game of Thrones (HBO) as its focus.
O frade santo e o clérigo vaidoso: coopetições e propagandas eclesiásticas nas crônicas franciscanas (Itália, c. 1281-1399)
Authors: Ribeiro Felipe Augusto
Published: March 2020

Este artigo trata da história franciscana nos séculos XIII e XIV. A partir de três crônicas escritas por franciscanos, ele analisa as relações de parceria e de rivalidade que os frades travaram com os clérigos seculares. O texto levanta dois problemas: as disputas sobre o culto santoral e as concorrências pelas rendas oriundas dos serviços sacerdotais. Metodologicamente, interpreta-os à luz do conceito de coopetição, comparando passagens semelhantes de cada uma das crônicas. A hipótese que ele delineia é a de que, para além da ideologia mendicante, os frades precisaram se envolver com os negócios eclesiásticos, movidos pelas demandas populares e pelas iniciativas de reforma moral do clero. Com ela, o trabalho objetiva esclarecer os mecanismos através dos quais os franciscanos conquistaram o seu espaço no acirrado ambiente citadino da Europa baixo-medieval – ora cooperando, ora competindo com outros segmentos da Igreja – bem como os instrumentos retóricos que empregaram em sua defesa ideológica.
Memórias ignoradas: uma narrativa do início de Maringá sob a ótica da habitação popular
Authors: Garcia Tatiane Boisa , Cordovil Fabíola Castelo de Souza
Published: March 2020

A partir da construção histórica local, o presente artigo analisa o início de Maringá dando ênfase aos princípios norteadores e às ações estatais sobre a habitação popular durante a estruturação do território urbano. Buscou-se estabelecer, a partir da pesquisa historiográfica, um discurso que permeasse a trajetória das ações estatais, dos agentes envolvidos, dos discursos, dos conflitos, das orientações das legislações urbanísticas e os resultados no território urbano de Maringá de 1947 até 1964. Os princípios que nortearam o plano inicial de Jorge Macedo e, posteriormente, as ações do poder público municipal formalizaram uma gênese excludente na estrutura urbana, com iniciativas desconexas a uma política pública habitacional que apenas responderam às pressões imobiliárias e ao ideário de cidade bela, moderna e ausente de “mazelas”. A historiografia oficial do início de Maringá pouco expõe a realidade da população de baixa renda, entretanto, desde de sua origem, a cidade transbordava-se em problemas sociais e desenvolvia-se com a presença diversos núcleos precários e de extrema pobreza, sistematicamente ignorados pela história urbana.
“O Partido Comunista e a Liberdade de Criação”: frentismo cultural em tempos de democratização
Authors: Dalmás Carine
Published: March 2020

Este artigo realiza apontamentos para uma reflexão sobre o significado político-cultural dos discursos proferidos pelo poeta chileno Pablo Neruda e pelos brasileiros Pedro Pomar, Secretário de Educação e Propaganda do Partido Comunista do Brasil (PCB), e Jorge Amado, escritor comunista, no primeiro encontro do PCB com escritores. Pouco explorado nos estudos sobre as ações e político-culturais do PCB, este evento aconteceu em julho de 1945, na cidade de São Paulo, durante as mobilizações pela democratização política do Brasil, pela legalização do PCB e pela anistia de Luís Carlos Prestes, Secretário-Geral do partido desde 1943. Os discursos proferidos por Neruda, Pomar e Amado foram reunidos no livreto intitulado “O Partido Comunista e a Liberdade de Criação”, publicado pela editora Horizonte, em 1946. O artigo analisa este documento, talvez o único ou principal registro do encontro, procurando relacioná-lo com o esforço pecebista para tornar a experiência do frentismo cultural, realizado na clandestinidade, numa proposta de programa cultural para o contexto da legalidade. Nessa perspectiva, destaca-se o empenho para reafirmar concepções e valorizar projetos literários desenvolvidos desde a década de 1930 e o significado das militâncias de Jorge Amado e Pablo Neruda na América Latina.
Luzes e sombras: a fase inicial da trajetória política de Ivete Vargas (1940-1950)
Authors: Angeli Douglas Souza
Published: March 2020

Este artigo trata da fase inicial da trajetória política de Cândida Ivete Vargas Tatsch (1927-1984). O recorte temporal abrange desde a chegada de seu avô, Viriato Vargas, ao Rio de Janeiro, em 1940, até sua candidatura à deputada federal pelo Partido Trabalhista Brasileiro (PTB) em São Paulo em 1950. O objetivo é compreender como Ivete Vargas mobilizou os recursos familiares, a formação intelectual e as habilidades adquiridas em diferentes espaços e atividades, especialmente sua atuação como jornalista no periódico Brasil-Portugal e no Instituto Nacional de Ciência Política, para constituição de um capital capaz de propiciar seu ingresso com êxito na carreira política. Para tornarse deputada federal aos 23 anos de idade, Ivete Vargas combinou estes recursos e habilidades adquiridos previamente, o capital social constituído a partir da rede de contatos de seu avô e uma atuação ativa visando à própria ascensão política – buscando, inclusive, estreitar relações com seu tio-avô, o ex-presidente Getúlio Vargas.
Uma montagem caligramática do século XIII: a Benedictio Fratri Leoni Data de Francisco de Assis
Authors: Pelegrinelli André Luiz Marcondes
Published: March 2020

A Chartula di Assisi é uma relíquia de Francisco de Assis, pequeno fragmento de pergaminho com dois textos autógrafos, a Laudes dei Altissimi e a Benedictio Fratri Leoni data, ambos de 1224. Neste artigo, considerando a materialidade do pergaminho, consideramos o objeto como a conformação das linguagens textuais e visuais, que sugerem diferentes possibilidades de leitura que apresentamo mesmo sentido analógico. Através de análise codicológica, paleográfica, do texto e das imagens, propomos pensar a Benedictio Fratri Leoni data como uma montagem que faz uso de uma imagem-caligrama veiculando a bênção de modo não linear que considera a espacialidade do fragmento de pergaminho e dele faz uso.
Associations between air pollutants and peak expiratory flow and fractional exhaled nitric oxide in students
Authors: Adman M. A. , Hashim J. H. , Manaf M. R. A. , Norback D.
Published: March 2020

BACKGROUND: Studies on the effects of outdoor air pollution on the respiratory health of students in tropical countries such as Malaysia are limited.OBJECTIVE: To assess associations between outdoor air pollutants and peak expiratory flow (PEF) and fractional exhaled
nitric oxide (FeNO).METHOD: PEF and FeNO levels of 487 students recruited in Melaka and Putrajaya, Malaysia, were measured in April and June 2014. Multiple linear regression with mutual adjustment was used to analyse the associations between exposure to air pollution and health.RESULTS:
PEF was significantly associated with ozone for 1-day exposure (β = −13.3 l/min, 95% CI −22.7 to −3.8), carbon monoxide for 2-day exposure (β = −57.2 l/min, 95% CI −90.7 to −23.7) and particulate matter ≦10 μm in diameter for 3-day exposure
(β = −6.0 l/min, 95% CI −9.2 to −2.8) and 7-day exposure (β = −8.6 l/min, 95% CI −13.0 to −4.1). Stratified analysis showed that associations between PEF and outdoor air pollutant exposures were similar in students with and without elevated FeNO
levels.CONCLUSION: Outdoor air pollution in Malaysia may cause airway obstruction unrelated to eosinophilic airway inflammation among students as measured using FeNO.
A global update on rare non-tuberculous mycobacteria in humans: epidemiology and emergence
Authors: Varghese B. , Al-Hajoj S.
Published: March 2020

Non-tuberculous mycobacteria (NTM) have evolved as an emerging group of pathogens globally. Due to the pitfalls in identification, the majority of them are not familiar or remain ‘rare' to clinicians and microbiologists. In available literatures, a consolidated global data analysis
is non-existent on rarely encountered NTM. A systematic review and meta-analysis have been carried out on 100 rare NTM species, which are possibly identified only by DNA sequencing methods, to establish their global epidemiology, emergence and clinical relevance. Articles published in English
from 1956 to 2018 reporting rare NTM species were searched in MEDLINE, Scopus, Ovid and Embase. A total of 447 articles matched the selection criteria, and 1670 rare NTM cases were identified from 52 countries. The majority of the incidences were reported from North America (33.4%), followed
by Europe (23.8%) and Asia (20.8%). Of 100 species, 43 were defined as emerging species, with 1351 (80.9%) new incidence cases globally. In total, 87 species caused clinically relevant pulmonary and extrapulmonary diseases. Interestingly, some NTM species showed significant geographic predominance,
such as M. conceptionense to South Korea, M. shinjukuense to Japan; M. arupense and M. nonchromogenicum to the United States and M. riyadhense to Saudi Arabia. Rare NTM species mainly caused pulmonary infection (67.1%), while extrapulmonary infections generally
comprised mycobacteremia and skin/soft tissue infections. In conclusion, the majority of rarely encountered NTM species are now well-established pathogens with valid clinical implications. The emergence of these rare pathogens warrants immediate local and international follow-ups. Their increasing
clinical and pathological significance should not be disregarded.
Treatment outcomes in multidrug-resistant tuberculosis according to pyrazinamide susceptibility
Authors: Park S. , Jo K-W. , Shim T. S.
Published: March 2020

BACKGROUND: Pyrazinamide (PZA) is an important anti-tuberculosis drug for multidrug-resistant tuberculosis (MDR-TB). However, PZA has recently been demoted within the hierarchy of TB drugs used for MDR-TB.METHODS: We conducted a retrospective cohort study to investigate
treatment outcomes for simple MDR-TB (susceptible to both second-line injectable drugs and fluoroquinolones) according to PZA susceptibility.RESULTS: Among 216 pulmonary MDR-TB patients included in the study, 68 (31.5%) were PZA-resistant (PZA-R). The mean age was 41.8 years, and
63.4% were male. Baseline characteristics such as comorbidity, previous TB history, acid-fast bacilli (AFB) smear positivity and cavitation were similar in PZA-susceptible (PZA-S) and PZA-R patients. The number of potentially effective drugs was slightly higher among PZA-S patients than among
the PZA-R (5.1 vs. 4.8, respectively; P = 0.003). PZA was more frequently used in PZA-S patients (73.0%) than in the PZA-R (14.7%), while para-aminosalicylic acid was more frequently used in PZA-R than in PZA-S patients (76.5% vs. 50.7%). The treatment success rate was similar in PZA-S
(77.7%) and PZA-R (75.0%) patients. PZA resistance was not associated with treatment success in multivariate analysis.CONCLUSIONS: PZA-resistant simple MDR-TB patients had the same treatment success rate as the PZA-susceptible group even without using novel anti-TB drugs.

Published: March 2020

SETTING: Nine high-burden public tuberculosis (TB) clinics in Gaborone, Botswana.OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the challenges encountered, healthcare worker (HCW) approaches, and supported interventions in TB and TB-HIV (human immunodeficiency virus) care for adolescents
and young adults (AYA, aged 10–24 years).DESIGN: Semi-structured interviews with HCW in TB clinics, analyzed using thematic analysis.RESULTS: Sixteen HCWs were interviewed. AYA developmental needs included reliance on family support for care, increasing autonomy,
attending school or work, building trust in HCWs, and intensive TB education and adherence support. Stigma strongly influenced care engagement, including clinic attendance and HIV testing. Health system barriers to optimal AYA TB care included limited staffing and resources to follow-up or
support. HCWs utilized intensive education and counseling, and transitioned AYA to community-based directly observed therapy whenever feasible. HCWs supported implementation of youth-friendly services, such as AYA-friendly spaces or clinic days, training in AYA care, use of mobile applications,
and peer support interventions, in addition to health system strengthening.CONCLUSION: HCWs utilize dedicated approaches for AYA with TB, but have limited time and resources for optimal care. They identified several strategies likely to improve care and better retain AYAs in TB
treatment. Further work is needed to study interventions to improve AYA TB care and outcomes.
BlockFlow: Trust in Scientific Provenance Data
Authors: Coelho Raiane , Braga Regina , David José Maria , Campos Fernanda , Ströele Victor
Published: March 2020

In scientific collaboration, the data sharing, the exchange of ideas and results is crucial to promote knowledge and accelerate the development of science. Trust is extremely important in this context as well as reproducibility. Although in scientific workflow the provenance has been the basis for reproducibility, in collaborative environments it is necessary to ensure integrity and trustworthiness of this provenance data. One of the technologies that have emerged and can help to address these issues is blockchain. A blockchain-based provenance system for collaborative scientific experiments could lead to a trustworthy environment for scientific experimentation. In this vein, this paper presents the specification of an architecture, named BlockFlow, that provides trust for distributed provenance data.
The Conundrum of Human Trafficking in Africa
Authors: O. Bello Paul , A. Olutola Adewale
Published: March 2020

This chapter explores the nature, extent and mystification of human trafficking in Africa. While human trafficking is an age-long, border-less crime of global proportion, its current form and dimensions have enormous negativity on the human race (generally), and pose enormous threats to peace and security on the African continent (specifically). Such consternation has engendered various stakeholders to introduce policy measures to curb the spread; however, rather than diminishing, it is ever increasing. From a positional standpoint, using document analysis, this chapter provides a synopsis of human trafficking in Africa, in recent times, and offers suggestions on pragmatic steps that could help address both the demand and supply end of this illicit criminal enterprise in twenty-first (21st) century Africa.
Challenges and Future of Wearable Technology in Human Motor-Skill Learning and Optimization
Authors: Shan Gongbing
Published: March 2020

Learning how to move is a challenging task. Even the most basic motor skill of walking requires years to develop and can quickly deteriorate due to aging and sedentary lifestyles. More specialized skills such as ballet and acrobatic kicks in soccer require “talent” and years of extensive practice to fully master. These practices can easily cause injuries if conducted improperly. 3D motion capture technologies are currently the best way to acquire human motor skill in biomechanical feedback training. Owing to their tremendous promise for a plethora of applications, wearable technologies have garnered great interest in biofeedback training. Using wearable technology, some physical activity parameters can be tracked in real time and a noninvasive way to indicate the physical progress of a trainee. Yet, the application of biomechanical wearables in human motor-skill learning, training, and optimization is still in its infant phase due to the absence of a reliable method. This chapter elaborates challenges faced by developing wearable biomechanical feedback devices and forecasts potential breakthroughs in this area. The overarching goal is to foster interdisciplinary studies on wearable technology to improve how we move.
Diabetic Vitrectomy
Authors: N. Okonkwo Ogugua
Published: March 2020

Diabetic retinopathy (DR) in its advanced stage is a leading cause of blindness and visual impairment. Despite efforts at early detection of DR, disease monitoring, and medical therapy, significant proportions of people living with diabetes still progress to develop the advanced proliferative disease, which is characterized by neovascularization, actively proliferating fibrovascular membranes, and retinal traction. The surgical removal of this proliferating tissue and the treatment of the retinal ischemic drive can be very rewarding, providing significant stability of the retina and in several cases improved retinal anatomy and vision. Diabetic vitrectomy comprises a broad range of surgical techniques and maneuvers, which offer the surgeon and patient opportunity to reverse deranged vitreoretinal anatomy and improve or stabilizes vision. Advances in vitreoretinal technology have contributed greatly to more recent improved outcomes; it is expected that future advances will offer even more benefit.
Satz and Semiotics
Authors: Taylor James Stacey ,   Philosophy Documentation Center
Published: March 2020

Jason Brennan and Peter M. Jaworski have recently developed an argument against semiotic objections to markets. They argue that all such semiotic arguments are unsound because they fail to recognize that the meaning of market transactions is a contingent socially-constructed fact. They attribute this type of argument to Debra Satz. This paper argues both that Brennan and Jaworski are mistaken to attribute this particular semiotic objection to Satz and that they are mistaken to attribute to her a semiotic objection of this type. It then argues that Brennan and Jaworski have fundamentally misunderstood the nature of Satz’s project. It concludes by defending Satz against Brennan and Jaworski’s charge that one of her criticisms of markets is based on an equivocation.
Truth in Democratic Politics
Authors: Heysse Tim ,   Department of Philosophy, Florida State University
Published: March 2020

This article clarifies the recent epistemic rehabilitation of democracy and adds to it in two respects. First, I point out that the epistemic rehabilitation of democracy identifies an internal connection of democracy with normative truths—but only an external connection with substantial truth and correctness. Second, such an internal connection surfaces when we focus on the place of criticism in democracy. Criticism, however, presupposes pluralism and a recognition of the provisionality of decisions. So I, third, analyse prominent theories of truth and examine what conceptions of pluralism and provisionality they allow. This evokes a view emphasizing the unruly role of truth; criticism introduces a commitment to correctness, and this commitment to correctness underwrites the provisional nature of democratic decisions.
Global action on the urgency of climate change: Academic and research libraries’ contributions
Authors: Charney Madeleine , Hauke Petra
Published: March 2020

At the time of this writing, Australia’s bushfires are raging, Jakarta is experiencing massive flooding, and waves of earthquakes are devastating islands in the Caribbean. Hundreds of thousands of people and living creatures are being torn from their homes. The mind reels at the intensity and scale of these climate change-induced disasters. At the same time, the world’s leading decision makers seem to finally be waking up to the emergency. For instance, the European Union (EU) just announced 1 trillion euro plan to support the European Green Deal, including a mechanism designed to help regions (e.g., coal-dependent Poland) that would be most disrupted economically by the transition to cleaner industries. Moreover, with the aim to make Europe the world’s first carbon-neutral continent by 2050, the EU pledges a just transition, that is to “leave no one behind.”

Book Review: The Fun of Motivation: Crossing the Threshold Concepts
Authors: Bednar Magen
Published: March 2020

When ACRL officially adopted the Framework for Information Literacy for Higher Education in 2016, fun was not a word many librarians would associate with this new Framework, as it required new ways of incorporating information literacy concepts and skills into library instruction sessions. Instead of strict standards, the Framework interconnects ideas and concepts about information, research, and scholarship that will allow the student, instructor, and librarian greater flexibility in developing new curricula.
Book Review: Inquiry and Research: A Relational Approach in the Classroom
Authors: Strothmann Molly
Published: March 2020

Why do students seek information from academic libraries? More often than many librarians and other educators might hope, their goal is box-checking, finding the required number of resources of the prescribed type to fill the mandatory bibliography to get the assigned paper finished (and forgotten). Librarians risk reinforcing this mindset when we treat the research process mechanistically, as a sequence of steps to be executed: learn these tools, enter these keywords, apply these limiters, click here to save results—check these literal boxes. In Inquiry and Research: A Relational Approach in the Classroom, Reale proposes that librarians instead view their interactions with students as opportunities to encourage a “spirit of inquiry.” Begin, Reale proposes, by pausing the hunt for immediate answers in favor of helping students learn to ask interesting and worthwhile questions. Value curiosity and thoughtfulness. Seek opportunities to center students in their own learning, and help them reflect throughout the research process.
Book Review: Motivating Students on a Time Budget: Pedagogical Frames and Lesson Plans for In-Person and Online Information Literacy Instruction
Authors: Cooperman Larry
Published: March 2020

Information literacy is one of the most important aspects of librarianship. If students do not understand how to find and successfully use library resources, of what use and purpose is a library? In the past (and mostly to this day), live instructional classes were the norm for introducing students to library resources, but for convenience and reach of a wider audience, more and more information literacy sessions are being held online. However, these sessions only last an hour or two. With such a short time frame, how can instructional librarians make an impact on their audience? Editors Sarah Steiner and Miriam Rigby, an instruction librarian at Western Carolina University and a social sciences librarian at the University of Oregon respectively, have created a one-volume library instruction book with enough information on this topic to cover multiple volumes. Throughout its nineteen chapters, Motivating Students on a Time Budget explores diverse tools to foster motivation and learning for library instruction students, for both in-person and online library instruction.

Book Review: Dreams: Understanding Biology, Psychology, and Culture
Authors: Vasudev Shaunda
Published: March 2020

Dreams: Understanding Biology, Psychology, and Culture is a two-volume reference work that aims to educate readers about sleep and dream research. According to the editors, the work covers “evolutionary perspectives on sleep and dreaming to the most current research into the neuroscience, as well as current psychological theory, therapeutic application, and the artistic and cultural treatment of dreams” (xii). Intended for students and researchers interested in current understandings of dreams and how we study them, this is a valuable addition to the literature, as most dream reference guides focus primarily on artistic and cultural responses to dreams.
Book Review: Encyclopedia of Public Health: Principles, Peoples, and Programs
Authors: Sprochi Amanda K.
Published: March 2020

The Encyclopedia of Public Health: Principles, Peoples, and Programs, a new addition to Greenwood’s health reference catalog, provides a solid resource for libraries looking for a good, low-cost encyclopedia for their public health collection. Dr. Sally Kuykendall, the editor, is a professor of health services at St. Joseph’s University in Philadelphia and an independent evaluator of public health programs. She has assembled a knowledgeable team of public health experts, health scientists, and medical historians as contributors, who present topics relating to public health in an easily-readable format for general readers. The two volumes present signed articles alphabetically by entry, with cross-references and bibliographies. The text is scattered throughout with black and white illustrations. Both volumes contain a contents section, a guide to related topics that groups articles by theme, a chronology, and an introduction. Volume 2 contains a glossary, a list of organizations and contributors, and a comprehensive index, as well as a section on “Controversies in public health,” which discusses hot button issues like anti-vaccination trends and health care for undocumented immigrants. Kuykendall maintains an even tone and fair treatment of all sides, allowing both pro- and anti-sides of an issue their say.
Book Review: Hip Hop around the World: An Encyclopedia
Authors: Singleton Brent D.
Published: March 2020

This encyclopedia consists of over 450 A–Z entries focusing on “Artists,” “Concepts,” “Countries,” and “Styles,” as well as finer aspects of cultures within the international hip hop scene. The work is not entirely unique in all of its content. For instance, Rigg’s St. James Encyclopedia of Hip Hop Culture (St. James, 2018) focuses on the United States and makes a cursory foray into the international hip hop sphere. However, the work under review appears to be the only encyclopedia dedicated to highlighting interrelations and unique threads within hip hop globally, albeit with copious US coverage.

NeuroQuery, comprehensive meta-analysis of human brain mapping
Authors: Dockès Jérôme , Poldrack Russell A , Primet Romain , Gözükan Hande , Yarkoni Tal , Suchanek Fabian , Thirion Bertrand , Varoquaux Gaël
Published: March 2020

Reaching a global view of brain organization requires assembling evidence on widely different mental processes and mechanisms. The variety of human neuroscience concepts and terminology poses a fundamental challenge to relating brain imaging results across the scientific literature. Existing meta-analysis methods perform statistical tests on sets of publications associated with a particular concept. Thus, large-scale meta-analyses only tackle single terms that occur frequently. We propose a new paradigm, focusing on prediction rather than inference. Our multivariate model predicts the spatial distribution of neurological observations, given text describing an experiment, cognitive process, or disease. This approach handles text of arbitrary length and terms that are too rare for standard meta-analysis. We capture the relationships and neural correlates of 7547 neuroscience terms across 13 459 neuroimaging publications. The resulting meta-analytic tool, neuroquery.org, can ground hypothesis generation and data-analysis priors on a comprehensive view of published findings on the brain.
Comprehensive fitness maps of Hsp90 show widespread environmental dependence
Authors: Flynn Julia M , Rossouw Ammeret , Cote-Hammarlof Pamela , Fragata Inês , Mavor David , Hollins Carl , Bank Claudia , Bolon Daniel NA
Published: March 2020

Gene-environment interactions have long been theorized to influence molecular evolution. However, the environmental dependence of most mutations remains unknown. Using deep mutational scanning, we engineered yeast with all 44,604 single codon changes encoding 14,160 amino acid variants in Hsp90 and quantified growth effects under standard conditions and under five stress conditions. To our knowledge, these are the largest determined comprehensive fitness maps of point mutants. The growth of many variants differed between conditions, indicating that environment can have a large impact on Hsp90 evolution. Multiple variants provided growth advantages under individual conditions; however, these variants tended to exhibit growth defects in other environments. The diversity of Hsp90 sequences observed in extant eukaryotes preferentially contains variants that supported robust growth under all tested conditions. Rather than favoring substitutions in individual conditions, the long-term selective pressure on Hsp90 may have been that of fluctuating environments, leading to robustness under a variety of conditions.

There is a pressing need to increase the rigor of research in the life and biomedical sciences. To address this issue, we propose that communities of 'rigor champions' be established to campaign for reforms of the research culture that has led to shortcomings in rigor. These communities of rigor champions would also assist in the development and adoption of a comprehensive educational platform that would teach the principles of rigorous science to researchers at all career stages.

At Faculty of Social and Health Sciences at Inland Norway University of Applied Sciences our students are required to write literature reviews for their bachelor degree, and there is an increasing need for guiding the students into academic methodology through critically assessing research articles. 

The purposes of starting journal clubs at our faculty is to guide the students into the academic genre, to help them gain confidence in reading research articles, and to broaden the perspective between theory and practice. Better semester grade is a secondary goal to our aim as it probably is hard to operationalize. We wish to establish a cooperation with the faculty staff, especially the ones involved in teaching evidence based practice. 

Wilson & Deighton (2016) describes that students find it difficult to approach research articles, and that journal clubs are suitable and an activating manner to introduce the students to the academic genre. Deenadayalan et al. (2008) comments that using case studies as a basis for academic discussion, fills the gap between theory and practical approach to the subject. There are several elements to pay attention to if the journal clubs are to become a success, and Deenadayalan et al. (2008) emphasizes among other things a clear purpose for the students' involvement, as well as leadership, insentives and preparedness.

In our project dating, we wish to discuss the possibility to do pilots for nursing students either in the last semesters of their courses, or with master students. We are interested in previous experiences with nursing students, and we want to look into which factors that makes the clubs function and how our aim might be reached.

Background

Grain weight is a grain yield component, which is an integrated index of grain length, width and thickness. They are controlled by a large number of quantitative trait loci (QTLs). Besides major QTLs, minor QTLs play an essential role. In our previous studies, QTL analysis for grain length and width was performed using a recombinant inbred line population derived from rice cross TQ/IRBB lines. Two major QTLs were detected, which were located in proximity to GS3 and GW5 that have been cloned. In the present study, QTLs for grain weight and shape were identified using rice populations that were homozygous at GS3 and GW5.

Method

Nine populations derived from the indica rice cross TQ/IRBB52 were used. An F10:11population named W1, consisting of 250 families and covering 16 segregating regions, was developed from one residual heterozygote (RH) in the F7generation of Teqing/IRBB52. Three near isogenic line (NIL)-F2 populations, ZH1, ZH2 and ZH3 that comprised 205, 239 and 234 plants, respectively, were derived from three RHs in F10:11. They segregated the target QTL region in an isogenic background. Two NIL populations, HY2 and HY3, were respectively produced from homozygous progeny of the ZH2 and ZH3 populations. Three other NIL-F2 populations, Z1, Z2 and Z3, were established using three RHs having smaller heterozygous segments. QTL analysis for 1000-grain weight (TGW), grain length (GL), grain width (GW), and length/width ratio (LWR) was conducted using QTL IciMapping and SAS procedure with GLM model.

Result

A total of 27 QTLs distributed on 12 chromosomes were identified. One QTL cluster, qTGW2/qGL2/qGW2 located in the terminal region of chromosome 2, were selected for further analysis. Two linked QTLs were separated in region Tw31911−RM266. qGL2 was located in Tw31911−Tw32437 and mainly controlled GL and GW. The effects were larger on GL than on GW and the allelic directions were opposite. qTGW2 was located in Tw35293−RM266 and affected TGW, GL and GW with the same allelic direction. Finally, qTGW2 was delimited within a 103-kb region flanked by Tw35293 and Tw35395.

Conclusion

qTGW2 with significant effects on TGW, GL and GW was validated and fine-mapped using NIL and NIL-F2 populations. These results provide a basis for map-based cloning of qTGW2 and utilization of qTGW2 in the breeding of high-yielding rice varieties.

Whether through direct supplementation of bacteria or by prebiotic supplementation thought to favour subsets of bacteria, modulation of gut microbiota constitutes an important and promising alternative to the use of prophylactic and growth promoting antibiotics in worldwide aquaculture. We fed a commercial base feed, alone or supplemented with either proprietary β-glucan, β-glucan and organic acids, citrus flavonoid or yeast cell wall supplements, to rainbow trout over a period of four weeks. Fish from each feed group were then subjected to experimental, waterborne infection withYersinia ruckeriO1 biotype 2. Following experimental feeding, the β-glucan and organic acids supplemented group showed significantly improved feed conversion and lipid efficiency ratios. Furthermore, the β-glucan, β-glucan and organic acids and citrus flavonoid supplements proved to significantly reduce the risk of mortality in rainbow trout during experimental infection as shown by hazard ratio analysis. Resulting in 33.2%, 30.6% and 30.5% reduction in risk relative to the non-supplemented base feed, respectively, these three supplements show a promising potential either as stand-alone feed supplements, or as components in complex feed formulations.

Fourteen genotypes of tomato collected from different sources were evaluated inside naturally ventilated polyhouse at Polyhouse Complex, Department of Horticulture (Vegetable and floriculture), BAU, Sabour, Bhagalpur during 2018-2019. The experiment was laid out in RBD with three replications. Data from analysis of variance depicted that mean sum of squares of all genotypes were highly significant for all traits under study except titratable acidity and β-carotene which indicated the existence of ample genetic variability among the genotypes. Genotype NS 4266 had least days to first flowering, days fifty percent flowering, lowest number of locules, highest plant height at 60 DAT along with maximum β- carotene & lycopene content; TODINDVAR-8 had lowest number of nodes to first flower and maximum average fruit weight; Palam Tomato Hybrid-1 displayed maximum no. of flower per truss; Heemshikhar had lowest no. of days to first fruiting; TODINDVAR-5 had highest no. of fruit per truss; Arka Abha showed earliest days to first picking; San Marzano had maximum polar diameter and plant height at final stage of harvesting; TODINDVAR-6 show maximum equatorial diameter and lowest titratable acidity; Arka Samrat had maximum pericarp thickness; Hawaii 7998 was observed with maximum no. of fruit per plant; Arka Vikas had maximum TSS content. However, Pant Polyhouse Tomato-2 contained maximum ascorbic acid. Different types of fruit shapes viz. flat round, oval, round, heart shaped, cylindrical and fruit colour viz. red, pink, yellow-orange was exhibited by various genotypes. All the genotype displayed the absence of green shoulder on fruit except San Marzano. Three genotypes namely Palam Tomato Hybrid-1 (5.72 kg/plant), Heemshikhar (4.85 kg/plant) and NS 4266 (4.82 kg/plant) was identified for higher yield among all the genotypes.

Phenylethyl Resorcinol (PR) is a cosmeceutical skin lightening agent and the purpose of this study was to enhance its stability by using liposomal cream formulation which increases local efficacy and safety. Liposome formulation was prepared by modified ethanol injection method, and it contained soy phosphatidyl choline (SPC), cholesterol (CHO), Tween 80 (TW80) and deoxycholic acid (DA) mixed with 2% PR. The physicochemical properties, skin permeation as well as cellular study were evaluated in order to obtain the optimized formulation. The optimized liposome formulation composed of SPC:TW80:DA (84:16:2.5) and exhibited vesicle size, polydispersity index (PDI) and zeta potential of 286.4±8.04 nm, 0.317±0.03 and -39.20±3.85 mV, respectively. Entrapment efficiency (EE) of liposome formulation was 93.55±0.05%. The vesicle was spherical in shape and showed good physicochemical stability for 4 months. The skin permeation study demonstrated that liposome with a negative charge could result in a high PR skin deposition value of 1732.76±216.24 µg/cm2 after 24 h. Cellular study showed that liposome formulation could inhibit melanin content in B16 melanoma cells and enhance cell viability in HaCaT keratinocyte cells. The optimized PR liposome was incorporated in cream and investigated physicochemical properties, stability and skin permeation. Liposomal PR cream showed a good stability and a superior result than PR cream in skin permeation parameters, as well as in tyrosinase inhibition.
Tobacco etch virus (TEV) protease with multiple mutations to improve solubility and reduce self‐cleavage exhibits enhanced enzymatic activity

Tobacco etch virus (TEV) protease is a 27‐kDa catalytic domain of the polyprotein nuclear inclusion a (NIa) in TEV, which recognizes the specific amino acid sequence ENLYFQG/S and cleaves between Q and G/S. Despite its substrate specificity, its use is limited by its autoinactivation through self‐cleavage and poor solubility during purification. It was previously reported that T17S/N68D/I77V mutations improve the solubility and yield of TEV protease and S219 mutations provide protection against self‐cleavage. In this study, we isolated TEV proteases with S219N and S219V mutations in the background of T17S, N68D, and I77V without the inclusion body, and measured their enzyme kinetics. The kcat of two isolated S219N and S219V mutants in the background of T17S, N68D, and I77V mutations was highly increased compared to that of the control, and S219N was twofold faster than S219V without Km change. This result indicates that combination of these mutations can further enhance TEV activity.
Adaptive dynamic programming for model‐free tracking of trajectories with time‐varying parameters

Published: March 2020

Recently proposed adaptive dynamic programming (ADP) tracking controllers assume that the reference trajectory follows time‐invariant exo‐system dynamics—an assumption that does not hold for many applications. In order to overcome this limitation, we propose a new Q‐function that explicitly incorporates a parametrized approximation of the reference trajectory. This allows learning to track a general class of trajectories by means of ADP. Once our Q‐function has been learned, the associated controller handles time‐varying reference trajectories without the need for further training and independent of exo‐system dynamics. After proposing this general model‐free off‐policy tracking method, we provide an analysis of the important special case of linear quadratic tracking. An example demonstrates that our new method successfully learns the optimal tracking controller and outperforms existing approaches in terms of tracking error and
cost.
