Ceratophysella species from mushrooms in China (Collembola, Hypogastruridae)
Authors: Weiner Wanda Maria , Xie Zhijing , Li Yu , Sun Xin
Published: February 2019

Four species of the genus Ceratophysella living on mushrooms are reported from China, including a new species, Ceratophysellaskarzynskii Weiner & Sun, sp. n., which is described from alpine mushrooms. The new species belongs to the Ceratophysella group of species with a dorsal chaetotaxy of type B and differs from the other species in a combination of characters. Ceratophysellaskarzynskiisp. n. is distinguished by its small body size (maximum length 1.09 mm), number of peg-like s-chaetae (30–32) in the ventral sensory file, the trilobed apical vesicle of antennal segment IV, five modified chaetae on dens, and serrated dorsal chaetae. A key to the Chinese species of the genus has been provided.

Published: February 2019

Background:

Nursing faculty sought to promote students' engagement with course material and their peers by using Kaizen, an online educational game. The purpose of this qualitative study was to learn more about nursing students' perceptions of team competition in an educational game and whether the game promoted their engagement with educational material in one fundamental nursing course.

Method:

Qualitative data collection included focus groups, observations of students, documents showing leaderboards and game participation, and “status of competition” e-mails. Data were transcribed and coded to determine emerging themes.

Results:

Four themes emerged from data analysis: learning in teams, motivators to play, learning course content, and suggestions for game improvement.

Conclusion:

Students were overwhelmingly positive about using a gamified platform for its educational rewards. They perceived that playing the game increased their knowledge retention, and they believed it helped them improve their test-taking skills.

Factors Influencing a 24-Hour Time-Budget for Wintering Atlantic Brant
Authors: Heise Jeremiah R. , Williams Christopher K. , Castelli Paul M.
Published: February 2019

The wintering period is often a limiting time for waterfowl. To understand the behavioral dynamics of Atlantic brant Branta bernicla hrota wintering along coastal New Jersey, USA, we conducted observations across the full 24-h diel period in an effort to construct an accurate time-budget model for the wintering population. In most behavioral studies, it is only possible to collect diurnal and crepuscular behavior data, forcing the assumption that these data are representative of nocturnal behavior in order to model the full 24-h diel period. We collected behavior data in 5,902 instantaneous observational scans across 4 time periods (morning crepuscular, diurnal, evening crepuscular, and nocturnal) from the third week in October to the third week in February 2009–2010 and 2010–2011. Brant primarily allocated time toward swimming (43.5%), feeding (26.4%), resting (15.4%), and flying (7.7%); these proportions differed significantly across times of day. Brant exhibited decreased flight (4.8% vs. 9.3%) and feeding (22.3% vs. 29.6%) and increased resting behavior (24.4% vs. 10.5%) nocturnally compared with diurnal periods. We further modeled explanatory environmental variables, hunting effects (open vs. closed seasons, locations open vs. closed to hunting), and time of day (diurnal and nocturnal only) on wintering behaviors. Feeding, resting, and swimming behavior presence were most influenced by a predictive model of (Hunt Season × Hunt Location × Period) + (Tide × Period). Flight behavior presence were most influenced by a predictive model of (Hunt Season × Hunt Location × Period) + (Tide × Temperature). There is an interactive effect of hunting pressure and period of day on observed activity; therefore, our results demonstrate that not accounting for nocturnal variation in behavior can lead to biases when extrapolating to energy expenditure models. Additionally, hunting areas proved to be nocturnally valuable because these areas contain valuable energy resources that may be unavailable diurnally, and our observations show that brant will shift their activities around hunting pressures to make use of these areas.

Published: February 2019

At this time, alcohol use is increasing in African countries. The prevalence of alcohol use disorders (AUDs) remains unknown in patients with psychiatric disorders. This study aimed to assess the prevalence of AUDs among individuals with bipolar disorder in the outpatient department at Amanuel Mental Specialized Hospital. An institution-based cross sectional study was conducted among 412 bipolar patients attending the outpatient department at Amanuel Mental Specialized Hospital from May – July 2015.Participants were selected using a systematic random sampling technique. Semi-structured questionnaires were used to collect socio-demographic and clinical data. Alcohol use disorder was measured using the Alcohol Use Disorders Identification Test (AUDIT-10). Binary logistic regression analysis was performed. The prevalence of alcohol use disorder was found to be 24.5%. Those affected were predominantly female (58.5%). Being18-29 years of age(AOR=3.86, 95% CI: 1.34, 11.29), being 30-44 years of age (AOR=4.99, 95%CI: 1.85, 13.46), being unable to read and write (AOR=5.58, 95%CI: 2.026, 13.650), having a secondary education (AOR=3.198, 95%CI: 1.149, 8.906), being a farmer (AOR=4.54, 95%CI: 1.67, 12.32), being employed by the government (AOR=3.53, 95%CI: 1.36, 4.15), being a day labourer (AOR=3.5, 95%CI: 1.14, 10.77), use of other substances during past 12 months (AOR=2.06, 95%CI: 1.06, 3.99), having a family history of alcohol use (AOR=2.18, 95%CI: 1.29, 3.68), having discontinued medication (AOR=2.78, 95%CI: 1.52, 5.07), having suicidal thoughts (AOR=4.56, 95%CI: 2.43, 8.54), and having attempted suicide (AOR=5.67, 95%CI: 3.27, 9.81) were statistically significant to alcohol use disorder using multivariate logistic analysis. The prevalence of co-morbid alcohol use disorder was high. This finding suggests that screening for risky alcohol use should be integrated into routine hospital outpatient care. Further, preventive measures against alcohol use disorder should be established.

Published: February 2019

Abstract. The International Centre for Global Earth Models (ICGEM, http://icgem.gfz-potsdam.de/) hosted at the GFZ German Research Centre for Geosciences (GFZ) is one of the five Services coordinated by the International Gravity Field Service (IGFS) of the International Association of Geodesy (IAG). The goal of the ICGEM Service is to provide the scientific community with a state of the art archive of static and temporal global gravity field models of the Earth, and develop and operate interactive calculation and visualisation services of gravity field functionals on user defined grids or at a list of particular points via its website. ICGEM offers the largest collection of global gravity field models, including those from the 1960s, as well as the most recent ones that have been developed using data from dedicated gravity missions, advanced processing methodologies and additional data sources such as satellite and terrestrial gravity. The global gravity field models have been collected from different institutions at international level and after a validation process made publicly available in a standardized format with DOI numbers assigned through GFZ Data Services. The development and maintenance of such a unique platform is crucial for the scientific community in geodesy, geophysics, oceanography, and climate research. The services of ICGEM have motivated researchers worldwide to grant access to their gravity field models and also provide them an access to variety of other gravity field models and their products. In this article, we present the development history and future plans of ICGEM and its current products and essential services. We present the Earth’s static, temporal, and topographic gravity field models as well as the gravity field models of other celestial bodies together with examples produced by the ICGEM’s calculation and 3D visualisation services and give an insight how the ICGEM Service can additionally contribute to the needs of research and society.
Characteristics of a Hailstorm over the Andean La Paz Valley
Authors: Zamuriano Marcelo , Martynov Andrey , Panziera Luca , Brönnimann Stefan
Published: February 2019

Abstract. The iconic hailstorm and flash flood episode of 19 February 2002 over La Paz city is numerically investigated in this article. Large scale atmospheric circulation is dynamically downscaled in order to take into account the complex orography forcing and local features. Satellite observations suggests late morning shallow convection over the Altiplano that becomes deep convection in the early afternoon around complex orography. The control simulation captures well the cloud evolution and suggest a two-stage precipitation mechanism. First, early convection occurred around 1200 LST and originated from thermodynamic instability combined with lake breeze and orographic lifting. Rainfall discharge then generated cold pools. During the second stage, cold pools around complex orography were propagated by lake breeze and encountered the La Paz Valley breeze, triggering the deep convection near La Paz city around 1400 LST. We assess the importance of local features through numerical experiments, which include modification of orography, suppression of surface heat fluxes, changes of surface lake temperature and removal of the lake. We show the importance of orographic configuration as triggering mechanism for convection initiation and for mesoscale circulation, the role of lake temperature for frontal breeze and propagation of cold pools, and of surface heat fluxes for atmospheric instability. This study highlights the complex interaction between lakes, surface heating and orography that favour deep convection and hailstorm formation, which is especially relevant around the Titicaca lake region.
Mahalanobis distance based recognition of changes in the dynamics
of seismic process
Authors: Matcharashvili Teimuraz , Czechowski Zbigniew , Zhukova Natalia
Published: February 2019

Abstract. In present work we aimed to analyze regularity of seismic process based on all its spatial, temporal and energetic characteristics. Increments of cumulative times, increments of cumulative distances and increments of cumulative seismic energies, have been calculated from southern California earthquake catalogue, 1975 to 2017. Used method of analysis represented combination of multivariate Mahalanobis distance calculation with the surrogate data testing. Prior to proceed to the analysis of dynamical features of seismic process we have tested used approach for two different 3 dimensional models in which dynamical features were changed from more regular to the more randomized conditions by adding some extent of noises. Analysis of variability in the extent of regularity of seismic process have been accomplished for different representative threshold values. According to results of our analysis about third part of considered 50 data windows, the original seismic process is indistinguishable from random process by its features of temporal, spatial and energetic variability. It was shown that prior to strong earthquake occurrences, in periods of relatively small earthquakes generation, percentage of windows in which seismic process is indistinguishable from random process essentially increases (to 60–80 %). At the same time, in periods of aftershock activity in all considered windows the process of small earthquake generation become regular and thus is strongly different from randomized catalogues. In some periods of catalogue time span seismic process looks closer to randomness while in other cases it becomes closer to regular behavior. Exactly, in periods of relatively decreased earthquake generation activity (at smaller energy release), seismic process looks random-like while in periods of occurrence of strong events, followed by series of aftershocks, it reveal significant deviation from randomness – the extent of regularity essentially increases. The period, for which such deviation from the random behavior can last, depends on the amount of seismic energy released by the strong earthquake.

Published: February 2019

Introduction: Current prostate cancer (PC) guidelines primarily focus on localized or metastatic PC. A multidisciplinary genitourinary oncology panel determined that additional guidance focusing on monitoring and management of biochemical recurrence (BCR) following radical therapy and non-metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (nmCRPC) was warranted.

Methods: The most up-to-date national and international guidelines, consensus statements, and emerging phase 3 trials were identified and used to inform development of algorithms by a multidisciplinary genitourinary oncology panel outlining optimal monitoring and treatment for patients with non-metastatic PC.

Results: A total of eight major national and international guidelines/consensus statements published since 2015 and three phase 3 trials were identified. Working group discussions among the multidisciplinary genitourinary oncology panel led to the development of two algorithms: the first addressing management of patients with BCR following radical therapy (post-BCR), and the second addressing management of nmCRPC. The post-BCR algorithm suggests consideration of early salvage treatment in select patients, and provides guidance regarding observation vs. intermittent or continuous androgen-deprivation therapy (ADT). The nmCRPC algorithm suggests continued ADT and monitoring for all patients, with consideration of treatment with apalutamide or enzalutamide for patients with high-risk disease (prostate-specific antigen [PSA] doubling time of ≤10 months).

Conclusions: Two treatment algorithms have been developed to guide the management of non-metastatic PC, and should be considered in the context of local guidelines and practice patterns.

A changing paradigm of protection of vulnerable adults and its implications for the Netherlands

The perception of how the interests of vulnerable adults should be protected has been changing over time. Under the influence of human and patient’s rights a profound shift of protection paradigms has taken place in the last decades. In the framework of this shift, in addition to traditional adult guardianship measures, new instruments have been developed allowing adults to play a greater role in the protection of their (future) interests. This has also been the case in the Netherlands, where adults in the course of the last decade have acquired the possibility to make a so-called living will, internationally better known as a continuing, enduring or lasting power of attorney. This article discusses this instrument, in comparison with the traditional adult guardianship measures currently in force in the Netherlands, from the perspective of the new protection paradigm based on a human rights approach.

In de afgelopen decennia is de manier waarop naar de bescherming van kwetsbare meerderjarigen wordt gekeken, veranderd. Van een benadering waarbij de focus voornamelijk lag op bescherming is de nadruk steeds meer komen te liggen op het recht op autonomie en zelfbeschikking van de meerderjarige. De opkomst van mensen- en patiëntenrechten heeft geleid tot het ontstaan van een nieuw beschermingsparadigma. In dat kader zijn nieuwe instrumenten ontwikkeld, die meerderjarigen een grotere rol toekennen in de bescherming van hun (toekomstige) belangen. Dit is eveneens het geval in Nederland, waar meerderjarigen een levenstestament kunnen opstellen om voorzieningen te treffen voor een toekomstige periode van wilsonbekwaamheid. Dit artikel bespreekt het levenstestament, in samenhang met de traditionele rechterlijke beschermingsmaatregelen, vanuit het perspectief van het nieuwe beschermingsparadigma.

De one-tier board en de bestuurdersaansprakelijkheid van niet-uitvoerende bestuurders

Voor niet uitvoerende bestuurders gelden dezelfde aansprakelijkheidsrisico’s als voor uitvoerende bestuurders. Zij zijn namelijk bestuurders, geen commissarissen. Bestuurdersaansprakelijkheid van een rechtspersoon-bestuurder rust via artikel 2:11 BW hoofdelijk op de uitvoerende én niet uitvoerende bestuurders. De taakverdeling kan meebrengen dat niet uitvoerende bestuurders zich eerder kunnen disculperen dan uitvoerende bestuurders.

De positie van ouders in het nieuwe Wetboek van Strafvordering vanuit Europese wetgeving bezien

In het conceptwetsvoorstel tot vaststelling van Boek 6 van het nieuwe Wetboek van Strafvordering wordt veel aandacht besteed aan de positie van ouders in het jeugdstrafproces. Bij het opstellen van deze bepalingen heeft de wetgever de tekst van Richtlijn (EU) 2016/800 betreffende procedurele waarborgen voor kinderen die verdachte of beklaagde zijn in een strafprocedure niet meegenomen, terwijl deze richtlijn belangrijke waarborgen bevat om te verzekeren dat jeugdige verdachten hun recht op een eerlijk proces kunnen uitoefenen. In dit artikel wordt nader ingegaan op de voorgestelde bepalingen rondom de positie van ouders in het conceptwetsvoorstel en wordt onderzocht in hoeverre deze positie in overeenstemming is met de Europese richtlijn.
Beihilfe zu NS-Gewaltverbrechen
Authors: Baun Lisa
Published: February 2019

The goal of this dissertation is to find an answer to the question of the limits of culpability in terms of aiding a crime through neutral behaviour. The work focuses on analysing relevant legal doctrine and provides the relevant historical background. Whereas aiding and abetting through neutral behaviour has already been discussed extensively, the question of the culpability of neutral behaviour regarding Nazi crimes has not been analysed properly yet.
The book’s first part describes the general culpability of aiding and abetting. Within this part, the author develops a legal concept of how those deeds could be punished. When analysing the relevant behaviour, she suggests applying both an objective and a subjective view. In the second part, the author addresses Nazi crimes and analyses the culpability of those who played a part in their execution. In doing so, she examines the type of the concentration camp at which the crimes were committed as well as exactly how they were aided. In this regard, she also discusses relevant rulings by West German courts.

Background: High-risk pregnancy, as a traumatic event, could cause postpartum disorders; thus, these women need psychological therapy. Objectives: This study aimed to determine the efficacy of combination of cognitive-behavioral therapy and resiliency training based on Islamic spirituality instructions and cognitive flexibility on postpartum depression, fear of labor pain, and quality of life. Methods: This was a semi-experimental study with a pretest-posttest design and a control group. It was performed among 40 pregnant women who had visited Bandar Abbas health centers. The participants were placed in two groups of control and experimental. Data collection was carried out using quality of life: SF12, postpartum depression by Edinburg, and fear of labor pain (FPQ-111) in the three stages of before, after and two months after the intervention. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics and analysis of variance test. Results: We found that the effect of combination of cognitive-behavioral therapy and resiliency training based on Islamic spirituality instructions and cognitive flexibility on postpartum depression (P < 0.01), fear of labor pain (P < 0.01), and the quality of life (P < 0.01) was significant, and the difference between the two groups was significant (P < 0.01). Conclusions: Trainings based on Islamic instructions were effective on reducing postpartum traumatic symptoms.

Authors: Hanachi Parichehr , Zarringhalami Roshanak , Ramezani Tamijani Reihaneh
Published: February 2019

Background: Free radicals cause many diseases in humans. Antioxidants reduce the risk of cardiovascular disease and stroke by neutralizing free radicals and on the other hand, prevent the progression of cancer. The natural antioxidant enhances the antioxidant properties of plasma to prevent diseases such as heart disease, cancer, and stroke. Secondary metabolites derived from plants have a strong potential for antioxidant activity. Methods: The purpose of this study was to investigate the antioxidant activities of two native plants species, including Polygonatum orientale Desf and Tilia dasystyla extracts, which are obtained with three different solvents (water, ethanol, and methanol) and two extraction methods (sonication and water bath) by DPPH (2,2-Diphenyl-1-Picrylhydrazyl) and FRAP (Ferric Reducing Antioxidant Potential) methods. This study is the first research to investigate the antioxidant properties of Polygonatum orientale Desf and Tilia dasystyla. Results: The results showed that methanol solvent had a higher efficiency among the other solvents in extracting of antioxidant compounds. Also, antioxidant level of Tilia dasystyla was higher than Polygonatum oriental Desf. In this regard, the highest FRAP values of Tilia dasystyla belonged to methanol solvent and water bath method with the amount of 2.72 ± 0.36 (mM). Whereas the highest FRAP values of Polygonatum orientae Desf belonged to methanol solvent and sonication method with the amount of 0.147 ± 0.01 (mM). Conclusions: Both plants showed antioxidant properties but Tilia dasystyla had higher antioxidant activities than Polygonatum orientale Desf. Methanol was more effective solvent in extracting antioxidant compounds and also water bath method was generally an effective method for extraction.

Introduction: The incidence of splenic cysts is low, and most are asymptomatic. Symptomatic splenic cysts have rarely been reported. Due to the unspecific clinical and radiologic features, the nature of a cyst is difficult to define in the absence of a history of trauma. Therefore, splenectomy is usually the treatment of choice for obtaining a specimen. In particular, total splenectomy has been the treatment of choice for removal of splenic cysts. Case Presentation: A 25-year-old male patient visited the outpatient department at Tri-Service General Hospital Penghu Branch, Taiwan, with the chief complaint of abdominal fullness. No obvious history of trauma was reported. A series of examinations were performed, and abdominal computed tomography showed one large splenic cyst within the splenic septum. We performed single-incision laparoscopic splenectomy, and the patient recovered well and returned to daily activities one week later. Conclusions: In this modern era of minimally invasive surgery, laparoscopic surgery has reduced postoperative pain and improved recovery, with no increase in complications. Laparoscopic splenectomy has become the trend for the management of splenic cysts. Although single-incision laparoscopic surgery is a technical challenge, better cosmetic results and decreased postoperative wound pain are considered to be superior outcomes compared with those of conventional multi-port laparoscopic surgery.
Les limites du droit dans la compréhension de l’afflux migratoire syrien
Authors: Gratadour Audrey
Published: February 2019

Certains décideurs considèrent avec méfiance l’arrivée de nouveaux « migrants ». Les journalistes et les politiques y ont très certainement un rôle à jouer : ils utilisent souvent une sémantique attisant les peurs. Sur le terrain, cet état d’esprit participe à la mise en danger des personnes déplacées. Le droit pourrait-il contribuer à proposer une vision plus claire et plus compréhensible de cette situation et favoriser ainsi la protection effective de ces personnes ? Le droit est conçu comme porteur de rationalité, il apparaît utile et pertinent. Toutefois, on peut légitimement se demander si la confusion existante à propos des mouvements de population n’est pas directement liée à une défaillance du droit. L’étude des interactions entre le droit et son environnement dans le cadre de la théorie interdisciplinaire des systèmes dynamiques complexes apportera des éléments de réponse.
Les réfugiés syriens au Moyen-Orient entre vide juridique et instabilité chronique
Authors: Sipowo Alain-Guy
Published: February 2019

Les personnes qui fuient le conflit armé en Syrie trouvent d’abord refuge dans les pays voisins, en Égypte, au Liban, en Irak, en Jordanie ou en Turquie. C’est ensuite seulement qu’elles décident de poursuivre leur migration vers des destinations lointaines. La présente contribution expose les motifs qui poussent les Syriens réfugiés au Moyen-Orient à entreprendre une migration secondaire. L’auteur soutient que cette migration tient, d’une part, à l’inadéquation de la protection juridique que reçoivent ces réfugiés dans les pays voisins et, d’autre part, à l’instabilité chronique que connaît la région. Il suggère que, dans la mesure où les pays occidentaux ne sont pas exempts de reproches dans la situation en Syrie, la réponse qu’ils apportent à la crise des réfugiés syriens devrait se fonder non uniquement sur un devoir de solidarité à géométrie variable, mais sur un principe de responsabilité en vertu duquel la charge de chacun serait déterminée par son niveau d’implication ou d’omission dans la crise.

With the enhancement in technical field of communication, efforts are made by the researchers to provide security. Security is dispensing protection and privacy to the system for the channeled data against any unwarranted access and refinements. MANET is a variant of wireless network used essentially by the dynamic devices with high motility and vulnerability. The distinctions like dynamic layout and curbed resources make them susceptible to miscellaneous kinds of threats. One such attack is wormhole which sneak and peep data with malicious intensions and operates either in coordinated or uncoordinated fashion. In its coordinated version, the malicious nodes coordinate their operations whereas in the uncoordinated version; they operate solitarily with the aim to decline the network performance. In this work, we aim to propose an algorithm for deployment of wormhole attack communicating with its peer through a tunnel. Planting of this attack in the network lays the foundation for developing successful strategies to mitigate their effects on the system.

One output arm of the sleep homeostat in Drosophila appears to be a group of neurons with projections to the dorsal fan-shaped body (dFB neurons) of the central complex in the brain. However, neurons that regulate the sleep homeostat remain poorly understood. Using neurogenetic approaches combined with Ca2+ imaging, we characterized synaptic connections between dFB neurons and distinct sets of upstream sleep-regulatory neurons. One group of the sleep-promoting upstream neurons is a set of circadian pacemaker neurons that activates dFB neurons via direct glutaminergic excitatory synaptic connections. Opposing this population, a group of arousal-promoting neurons downregulates dFB axonal output with dopamine. Co-activating these two inputs leads to frequent shifts between sleep and wake states. We also show that dFB neurons release the neurotransmitter GABA and inhibit octopaminergic arousal neurons. We propose that dFB neurons integrate synaptic inputs from distinct sets of upstream sleep-promoting circadian clock neurons, and arousal neurons.

The RecA protein orchestrates the cellular response to DNA damage via its multiple roles in the bacterial SOS response. Lack of tools that provide unambiguous access to the various RecA states within the cell have prevented understanding of the spatial and temporal changes in RecA structure/function that underlie control of the damage response. Here, we develop a monomeric C-terminal fragment of the λ repressor as a novel fluorescent probe that specifically interacts with RecA filaments on single-stranded DNA (RecA*). Single-molecule imaging techniques in live cells demonstrate that RecA is largely sequestered in storage structures during normal metabolism. Upon DNA damage, the storage structures dissolve and the cytosolic pool of RecA rapidly nucleates to form early SOS-signaling complexes, maturing into DNA-bound RecA bundles at later time points. Both before and after SOS induction, RecA* largely appears at locations distal from replisomes. Upon completion of repair, RecA storage structures reform.

Behavioral correlates of semi-zygodactyly in Ospreys (Pandion haliaetus) based on analysis of internet images
Authors: Sustaita Diego , Gloumakov Yuri , Tsang Leah R. , Dollar Aaron M.
Published: February 2019

Ospreys are renowned for their fishing abilities, which have largely been attributed to their specialized talon morphology and semi-zygodactyly−the ability to rotate the fourth toe to accompany the first toe in opposition of toes II and III. Anecdotal observations indicate that zygodactyly in Ospreys is associated with prey capture, although to our knowledge this has not been rigorously tested. As a first pass toward understanding the functional significance of semi-zygodactyly in Ospreys, we scoured the internet for images of Osprey feet in a variety of circumstances. From these we cross-tabulated the number of times each of three toe configurations (anisodactylous, zygodactylous, and an intermediate condition between these) was associated with different grasping scenarios (e.g., grasping prey or perched), contact conditions (e.g., fish, other objects, or substrate), object sizes (relative to foot size), and grasping behaviors (e.g., using one or both feet). Our analysis confirms an association between zygodactyly and grasping behavior; the odds that an osprey exhibited zygodactyly while grasping objects in flight were 5.7 times greater than whilst perched. Furthermore, the odds of zygodactyly during single-foot grasps were 4.1 times greater when pictured grasping fish compared to other objects. These results suggest a functional association between predatory behavior and zygodactyly and has implications for the selective role of predatory performance in the evolution of zygodactyly more generally.

Background

Low-carbohydrate, high-fat (LCHF) diets are useful for treating a range of health conditions, but there is little research evaluating the degree of carbohydrate restriction on outcome measures. This study compares anthropometric and cardiometabolic outcomes between differing carbohydrate-restricted diets.

Objective

Our hypothesis was that moderate carbohydrate restriction is easier to maintain and more effective for improving cardiometabolic health markers than greater restriction.

Design

A total of 77 healthy participants were randomised to a very low-carbohydrate ketogenic diet (VLCKD), low-carbohydrate diet (LCD), or moderate-low carbohydrate diet (MCD), containing 5%, 15% and 25% total energy from carbohydrate, respectively, for 12-weeks. Anthropometric and metabolic health measures were taken at baseline and at 12 weeks. Using ANOVA, both within and between-group outcomes were analysed.

Results

Of 77 participants, 39 (51%) completed the study. In these completers overall, significant reductions in weight and body mass index occurred ((mean change) 3.7 kg/m2; 95% confidence limits (CL): 3.8, 1.8), along with increases in high-density lipoprotein cholesterol, low-density lipoprotein cholesterol, (0.49 mmol/L; 95% CL; 0.06, 0.92;p= 0.03), and total cholesterol concentrations (0.11 mmol/L; 95% CL; 0.00, 0.23;p= 0.05). Triglyceride (TG) levels were reduced by 0.12 mmol/L (95% CL; −0.20, 0.02;p= 0.02). No significant changes occurred between groups. The largest improvements in high density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-c) and TG and anthropometric changes occurred for the VLCKD group.

Conclusions

Low-carbohydrate, high-fat diets have a positive effect on markers of health. Adherence to the allocation of carbohydrate was more easily achieved in MCD, and LCD groups compared to VLCKD and there were comparable improvements in weight loss and waist circumference and greater improvements in HDL-c and TG with greater carbohydrate restriction.
Genome-wide identification and comparative evolutionary analysis of the Dof transcription factor family in physic nut and castor bean
Authors: Zou Zhi , Zhang Xicai
Published: February 2019

DNA-binding with one finger (Dof) proteins comprise a plant-specific transcription factor family involved in plant growth, development and stress responses. This study presents a genome-wide comparison of Dof family genes in physic nut (Jatropha curcas) and castor bean (Ricinus communis), two Euphorbiaceae plants that have not experienced any recent whole-genome duplication. A total of 25 or 24 Dof genes were identified from physic nut and castor genomes, respectively, where JcDof genes are distributed across nine out of 11 chromosomes. Phylogenetic analysis assigned these genes into nine groups representing four subfamilies, and 24 orthologous groups were also proposed based on comparison of physic nut, castor,Arabidopsisand rice Dofs. Conserved microsynteny was observed between physic nut and castor Dof-coding scaffolds, which allowed anchoring of 23 RcDof genes to nine physic nut chromosomes. In contrast to how no recent duplicate was present in castor, two tandem duplications and one gene loss were found in the Dof gene family of physic nut. Global transcriptome profiling revealed diverse patterns of Jc/RcDof genes over various tissues, and key Dof genes involved in flower development and stress response were also identified in physic nut. These findings provide valuable information for further studies of Dof genes in physic nut and castor.
A governança das políticas de turismo: o papel dos espaços de participação na perspectiva da análise de redes e da teoria institucional
Authors: Endres Ana Valéria , Pakman Elbio Troccoli
Published: February 2019

Propósito: as discussões apresentadas neste artigo propõem uma leitura original sobre a participação no processo de implementação de políticas de turismo sujeita a espaços institucionalizados que visam buscar mais legitimidade do que eficiência. O estudo é sustentado por um recorte teórico que vê nas mudanças institucionais vigentes o reflexo de processos isomórficos. Objetivo: analisar como os espaços específicos de deliberação entre os atores estatais e não-estatais, projetados pelas políticas de turismo, fortalecem a nova governança. Metodologia/Abordagem: o estudo destes processos está circunscrito aos limites imaginários do campo organizacional definidos pela rede de políticas públicas de turismo na Paraíba/Brasil. Tanto o campo quanto a rede foram delineados a partir de entrevistas direcionadas, análise documental e bibliográfica e representados por sociogramas, formulados via recursos matemáticos através da Análise de Redes Sociais – ARS. Os espaços de participação analisados têm sede na capital da Paraíba, João Pessoa.  Resultados: a leitura dos resultados obtidos sugere que os espaços de participação institucionalizados pela nova governança têm potencial transformador da realidade turística da Paraíba, pois influem nas ações e estratégias dos atores locais. Contudo, ainda é cedo para se avaliar se estes espaços realmente produzem mudanças institucionais significativas que aprofundem processos verdadeiramente participativos, legítimos, e também mais eficazes. Seu círculo virtuoso pode vir a instituir valores e práticas que fortaleçam a nova governança.
