Overexpression of PDX1 and NKX6.1 as a Treatment for Type 1 Diabetes: A Research Protocol
Authors: Aftab Nabeeha , Arshad Hunaiza
Published: October 2021

Introduction: Type 1 diabetes is an autoimmune disorder characterized by the destruction of pancreatic islet beta cells responsible for insulin production, leading to insulin deficiency. The PDX1 and NKX6-1 genes are essential to beta cell development and maturation in the pancreas. Based on previous studies, Pdx1 is downregulated in diabetics, and higher Nkx6.1 expression has been shown to induce high cell turnover. This proposal aims to investigate the potential therapeutic effects of gene therapy on streptozotocin-induced non-obese diabetic/severe-combined immunodeficient mice in treating Type 1 Diabetes. It is hypothesized that the use of gene therapy to overexpress PDX1 and NKX6-1 into the pancreas of experimental diabetic mice will result in increased beta cell production and improved glucose metabolism.
Methods: Both male and female streptozotocin-induced non-obese diabetic/severe-combined immunodeficient experimental mice will receive human islets from individuals 32-55 years old. The PDX1 and NKX6-1 genes will be overexpressed in a shuttle vector and incorporated into the gutless adenovirus vector backbone through co-transfection using the Cre293/lox P cell line. Verification of successful vectors containing the gutless adenovirus coupled with a helper plasmid will be done using gel electrophoresis. Incubation with beta cells will stimulate the transduction process after which beta cells will be delivered into mice pancreas’ through endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography. An intraperitoneal glucose tolerance test, pancreatic biopsy with immunohistochemical staining, and islet calculations will be done.
Results: An intraperitoneal glucose tolerance test is expected to show improved blood glucose levels in experimental mice post-treatment, while a pancreatic biopsy with immunohistochemical staining and subsequent islet diameter and volume calculations are expected to depict an increase in the number of beta cells.
Discussion: The experimental mice are anticipated to show an improvement in blood glucose levels and increased production of beta cells following treatment due to the overexpression of PDX1 and NKX6-1. The normal control mice and diabetic untreated mice are expected to show normal and high glucose levels, as well as normal and deficient beta cells respectively.
Conclusion: This proposal may provide a better understanding of the pathophysiology in Type 1 Diabetes and pave a new path for its treatment.

Mapping Invisible Surveillance on the North Avenue Smart Corridor, Atlanta
Authors: Dortdivanlioglu Hayri
Published: October 2021

This paper presents a speculative mapping exercise as a feminist resistance method with the aim of rendering surveillance technologies and their fields of view visible. The focus is on the North Avenue Smart Corridor, located in Atlanta, Georgia, which is one of the world's top ten most surveilled cities. Through the design of these speculative maps, I question our relationship with surveillance. More specifically, I show that unnoticeable materiality and invisible processes of smart surveillance technologies prevent the public from forming an opinion on their intrusion into daily life. Acceptance of these technologies allows powerholders to protect and enhance their power over marginalized communities. Therefore, by mapping the intensity of surveillance, this study aims to raise awareness against the lure of technocracy in so-called smart cities. It situates the reader in the position of surveillance sensors and allows the reader to speculate on what they can see. In doing so, it seeks to highlight the oppressive agency of these technologies and question their appeal to objectivity with the potential to disrupt their patriarchal powers. Can we free ourselves from the oppressive gaze of smart surveillance by mapping, seeing, and understanding its remarkably limited fields of view?
Turning Advocacy into Action: Inclusive Makerspaces
Authors: Milburn Stacie
Published: October 2021

Advocacy in the school library typically includes securing funding, collection development that is representative of special populations, and campus leadership roles. The librarian can, and should, create services and programs that are inclusive and supportive of special populations. One special population of students that are often overlookded in the secondary school library are special education (SPED) students. Special education students can have a variety of cognitive or physical disabilities that make the act of learning more difficult without the proper support.
Paradigm Shift from Books to Graphic Novels: The Coherence and Aesthetics of Graphic Narratives
Authors: Devanand Sreevidya
Published: October 2021

This paper focuses on the seemingly important aspects of graphic novels that make them a remarkable genre of literature. The aesthetics and the power of illustration are taken into consideration in detail in the study. Maus by Art Spiegelman and Persepolis by Marjane Satrapi are taken as case studies. The radically different style used in Persepolis challenged the popular convictions on storytelling and its success as a graphic novel has profoundly influenced many Middle Eastern writers. To determine the efficacy of graphic novels, a survey is conducted among school students. Analysis is drawn from the survey and demonstrated with the help of graphs and pie charts.
Teacher Support for Subject Study in School Libraries: A Case Study on the Faculty for Teachers for Subject Learning in School Libraries in Japan
Authors: Ohira Matsumi
Published: October 2021

Although school libraries are found in all elementary, middle, and high schools in Japan, 40% of schools nationwide have 11 classes or fewer wherein the appointment of librarians has been suspended currently; moreover, 6,838 schools have neither appointed nor assigned school librarians. Subject learning necessitates collection and usage of appropriate materials and requires specialization in the school education system, such as the use of curricula. Proper staffing alone is not adequate to resolve these issues. For the contemporary world with rapidly developing information devices, this paper proposes school library management methods involving improvements such as the use of reference devices by employing information and communication technology (ICT) and artificial intelligence (AI), which is not limited to personnel assignment, through investigation into the roles played by the human staff.
Reading Promotion Programme on literature appreciation among the young adults in Sri Lankan Schools Conducted by the Ministry of Education
Authors: Ranaweera Prasanna
Published: October 2021

A pilot reading program as an action research project was introduced by The National Institute of Library & Information Sciences (NILIS) in order to inculcate reading appreciation among young adults in Sri Lankan schools.  A sample of 25 school libraries from the Maho Educational Zone was selected for the research study.  Each grade nine student studying in the above-selected twenty-five schools was given a young adult literature book to be read within fourteen days, after which the student was required to prepare a portfolio based on the book. The school librarians marked the students' portfolio pieces, and this practice was continued up to the beginning of the third semester, using various literary genres. The students completed the given task within the specified period. According to the students' final portfolio evaluation, it was seen that they had gradually developed their competencies under the affective domain based on the above curriculum. Eventually, the Ministry of Education implemented the above program among all the junior and senior secondary schools in Sri Lanka as “Books are the Best Friends” with the assistance of NILIS.

The effects of Covid-19 on student transition from school to university in STEM subjects
Authors: Cottle Daniel
Published: October 2021

Covid‑19 restrictions affected most of the post‑16 learning experience of the students who will begin university courses in STEM in the UK in autumn 2021. Ongoing disruption to learning culminated in the cancellation of normal A-level examinations which were replaced with teacher assessments. Informal discussion with secondary school teaching colleagues reveals some possible consequences for the students’ transition to degree level study in STEM subjects. The main suggestion is that, despite the resilience that students have shown both academically and socially, there have been significant omissions from the normally studied curriculum that may affect their progress on degree courses in STEM including: lack of experimental practice and skills, lack of specific subject knowledge and lack of experience of assessment.

Pengaruh Pemberian Curcumin Terhadap Perbaikan Fungsi Hepar Tikus Putih (Rattus Novergicus) yang diinduksi Parasetamol Dosis Tinggi
Authors: Esperanza Yolanda , Prabowo Sulistiana , Handajani Fitri
Published: October 2021

Paracetamol has analgesic properties comparable to NSAIDs, but paracetamol have minimal side effects. Paracetamol is metabolized via sulfation and glucuronidation conjugation which is then excreted in the urine. A small part of the paracetamol has been changed to NAPQI. NAPQI will be detoxified by gluthathione. In high doses, there in an increase in NAPQI and a decrease in glutathione levels that results in oxidative stress and liver cell necrosis. Curcumin is often used as a traditional medicine to treat liver disease where it contains phenolic groups capable to scavenge free radicals. Curcumin extract can improve cellular responses to oxidative stress such as increasing the expression of Nrf2, SOD, and gluthathione. The purpose of this research was to know the effect of curcumin on the improvement of liver function in white rats (Rattus novergicus) induced by high dose  paracetamol. The design of this research was a descriptive research using literature studies from at least 15 international journals indexed by Scimago or national journals indexed by Sinta published in 2015-2020. Based on the journals used in this research, giving curcumin at a dose of 200 mg/kg BW/day for 2 weeks was effective in significantly increasing gluthathione levels in rats receiving high dose paracetamol. Giving curcumin at a dose of 100 mg/kg BW/day for 7 days can reduce AST and ALT activity in rats receiving high dose paracetamol, but the dose of curcumin that was more effective in reducing AST and ALT activity was 200 mg/kg BW/day for 2 weeks. This is because of curcumin which functions as a hepatoprotector that bind directly to the toxic metabolite of paracetamol, thereby reducing the use of glutathione and quench free radicals, so that oxidative stress in the liver decreased and gluthathione levels increased, AST and ALT activity decreased.

Beyond prediction: methods for interpreting complex models of soil variation
Authors: Wadoux Alexandre , Molnar Christoph
Published: October 2021

Understanding the spatial variation of soil properties is central to many sub-disciplines of soil science. Commonly in soil mapping studies, a soil map is constructed through prediction by a statistical or non-statistical model calibrated with measured values of the soil property and environmental covariates of which maps are available. In recent years, the field has gradually shifted attention towards more complex statistical and algorithmic tools from the field of machine learning. These models are particularly useful for their predictive capabilities and are often more accurate than classical models, but they lack interpretability and their functioning cannot be readily visualized. There is a need to understand how these these models can be used for purposes other than making accurate prediction and whether it is possible to extract information on the relationships among variables found by the models. In this paper we describe and evaluate a set of methods for the interpretation of complex models of soil variation. An overview is presented of how model-independent methods can serve the purpose of interpreting and visualizing different aspects of the model. We illustrate the methods with the interpretation of two mapping models in a case study mapping topsoil organic carbon in France. We reveal the importance of each driver of soil variation, their interaction, as well as the functional form of the association between environmental covariate and the soil property. Interpretation is also conducted locally for an area and two spatial locations with distinct land use and climate. We show that in all cases important insights can be obtained, both into the overall model functioning and into the decision made by the model for a prediction at a location. This underpins the importance of going beyond accurate prediction in soil mapping studies. Interpretation of mapping models reveal how the predictions are made and can help us formulating hypotheses on the underlying soil processes and mechanisms driving soil variation.
Unusual experiences and their association with metacognition: investigating ASMR and Tulpamancy
Authors: Palmer-Cooper Emma Claire , Wright Abigail Christine , McGuire Nicola
Published: October 2021

Background: Unusual experiences in Tulpamancer and Autonomous Sensory Meridian Response (ASMR) communities are generally positive and sought after, unlike hallucinations and delusions in clinical populations. Metacognition, the ability to reflect on self-referential experiences, may aid sense-making around unusual experiences, reducing distress. This study investigated group differences in hallucination-proneness, delusion-proneness, and metacognition in these communities compared to controls, and whether metacognition predicted unusual experiences. Methods: 243 participants reporting ASMR, Tulpamancy, or neither, with no history of psychosis, took part in an online observational study. Participants completed the Beck Cognitive Insight Scale, Metacognitions Questionnaire-30, and Brief Core Schema Scales to capture metacognition. A Tulpamancer+ (reporting ASMR) group was identified and included in analyses. ANCOVAs highlighted group differences in hallucination-proneness, with Tulpamancer+ scoring higher, and metacognitive beliefs, with Tulpamancers reporting lower metacognitive belief endorsement. There were no group differences in delusion-proneness, self-reflection, or self-schemas. Stepwise regression demonstrated metacognition does influence unusual experiences in the non-clinical population, and this influence varies across groups. Conclusions: In non-clinical populations, unusual sensory experiences are not associated with increased metacognitive beliefs, but having multiple unusual experiences is associated with higher hallucination-proneness. Results suggest improving metacognition in clinical groups may help reduce distress related to unusual sensory experiences.
Cultural variation in the relationship between social motives, drinking, and alcohol-related problems
Authors: Van Doren Natalia , Gioia Sarah , Mortazavi Arezou , Soto Jose Angel
Published: October 2021

College students consume alcohol based on different motivations, and past research indicates that these drinking motives can differentially predict alcohol-related consequences. However, little is known about how drinking motives and consequences operate in Latinx individuals and other ethnic minority groups. The present study examined social drinking motives and their links to drinking consequences and problematic drinking in a college sample. Participants were 106 Latinx, Asian/Asian American, and European American undergraduates. Social motives were positively and significantly linked to drinking outcomes, but these main effects were qualified by an interaction between social motives and ethnicity on drinking outcomes, such that greater social motives was significantly linked to problematic drinking and drinking consequences for European Americans, but not for Latinx or Asian/Asian American participants. Implications for theory and intervention are discussed.
Adolescent Social Capital - An Intergenerational Resource?
Authors: Tuominen Minna , Tikkanen Jenni
Published: October 2021

Introduction: Social capital is a valuable asset that spawns multiple benefits, but little is known about its origins. This study narrows the gap by exploring the extent to which adolescents’ social capital is shaped by their parents’ social capital, the socioeconomic status (SES) of their families, or that of their neighbourhood. The study also explores which dimensions of adolescent social capital are most sensitive to intergenerational or socioeconomic influence.Methods: The study uses survey data gathered from adolescents aged 12–13 years and their parents (n = 167) in Southwest Finland. For the analysis, adolescents’ social capital was disaggregated into four dimensions: social networks, social trust, tendency to receive help, and tendency to provide help. For each dimension, the associations with the hypothesised predictors were analysed separately using structural equation modelling. Results: The results suggest that parents’ social capital is the most influential predictor to each dimension of adolescents’ social capital establishing stronger associations as compared to the other two predictors. However, it is not the parents’ actual social capital as they report themselves, but their offspring’s perception of their social behaviour. Family’s SES relates to young people’s reciprocal tendency and level of trust only indirectly through parents’ social capital. Conversely, a disadvantaged socioeconomic neighbourhood is directly negatively associated with adolescents’ level of trust and frequency of receiving help. Conclusions: This study suggests that social capital is distinctly, although not exclusively, an intergenerational resource. Parents are critical role models for adolescent children.
