Mice lacking SH2B1 and humans with inactivating
mutations of SH2B1 display severe obesity and insulin resistance. SH2B1 is an adapter protein
that is recruited to the receptors of multiple hormones and neurotrophic
factors. Of the four known
alternatively-spliced SH2B1 isoforms, SH2B1b and SH2B1g exhibit
ubiquitous expression, whereas SH2B1a and SH2B1d are
essentially restricted to the brain. To understand the roles for SH2B1a and SH2B1d in energy
balance and glucose metabolism, we generated mice lacking these brain-specific isoforms
(adKO
mice). adKO mice exhibit decreased food intake, protection from
weight gain on standard and high fat diets, and an adiposity-dependent
improvement in glucose homeostasis. SH2B1 has been suggested to impact energy
balance via the modulation of leptin action. However, adKO mice exhibit leptin sensitivity that
is similar to that of wild-type mice by multiple measures. Thus, decreasing the
abundance of SH2B1a and/or SH2B1d relative to the other SH2B1 isoforms
likely shifts energy balance towards a lean phenotype via a primarily leptin-independent
mechanism. Our findings
suggest that the different alternatively-spliced isoforms of SH2B1 perform
different functions in vivo.

O Prof. Roberto Garcia foi editor da Psicologia Revista no período de 2018 a 2020. Professor dedicado, não faltava às reuniões e sempre chegava no horário – com seu sorriso um tanto tímido –, se destacando pelo seu entusiasmo e por sua enorme capacidade de trabalho, sem se importar em ajudar qualquer que fosse a tarefa editorial. Foi editor responsável por diversos artigos durante esse período, mesmo que alguns destes não fossem exatamente de sua área (como na edição especial sobre Psicologia do Esporte). Isso não importava. Roberto trazia a sua experiência com outras revistas e tinha grande bagagem acumulada dentro do processo de revisão por pares. Basta ver o seu currículo para encontrar publicações suas em periódicos nacionais e internacionais, participação como autor em capítulo de livro e nos inúmeros congressos e cursos de que participou. Procurava sempre se atualizar e se aprofundar em sua área da Psicologia: a Psicologia Clínica. Em destaque, nos cabe ressaltar o prêmio que ganhou em 2017 da Associação Paulista de Psicologia por sua tese de doutorado, sob orientação da Profa. Dra. Denise Ramos, intitulada: “Fatores envolvidos nos comportamentos de omissão circunstancial e de recusa do uso do preservativo em Homens que fazem sexo com Homens”. A passagem do Prof. Roberto na Psicologia Revista, sempre alegre, nos marcou e ficará registrada nos números em que participou e nas memórias de nossas reuniões. Por conta disso, esse número da Psicologia Revista é dedicado in memoriam ao nosso amigo Roberto Garcia. A seguir, alguns depoimentos de colegas que trabalhavam com o Prof. Roberto na PUC-SP.Equipe Editorial da Psicologia Revista

Published: December 2020

Nos últimos anos vem crescendo a produção científica sobre a população em situação de rua. Para a compreensão deste fenômeno, considera-se relevante a Teoria das Representações Sociais (TRS), compreendida como um conjunto de ideias e explicações sobre o mundo e o contexto em que vive. Assim, objetivou-se analisar os estudos sobre as Representações Sociais (RS) de pessoas em situação de rua. Trata-se de uma revisão integrativa, realizada em novembro de 2018, nas bases de dados Web of Science, Scopus, Scielo e Lilacs, utilizando os descritores “Representação social” e “situação de rua” ou “morador de rua” ou “sem-teto” ou “população de rua” e seus correspondentes em inglês. Após a aplicação dos critérios de elegibilidade, foram selecionados seis artigos. Foram identificadas duas categorias: RS das pessoas em situação de rua e RS dos outros (profissionais e população) sobre a situação de rua. Os artigos abarcaram as dificuldades vivenciadas nas ruas, os desafios dos serviços públicos que atendem essa população, as introjeções de representações hegemônicas realizadas pelas pessoas em situação de rua e as representações estereotipadas que essa população possui dos outros. Por fim, verifica-se que os artigos apresentam contribuições para a ciência e a sociedade.
Evaluation of natural gas saving measures in public educational institutions
Authors:   Lviv Polytechnic National University, Pashkevich Volodymyr , Furdas Yuriy , Craiovsky Volodymyr , Zhelykh Vasyl
Published: December 2020

The article analyzes the data of gas consumption for the heating periods and confirms that for the actual outdoor air temperatures there is a decrease in gas consumption. Necessary heat loads and gas consumption were determined to ensure the required indoor air temperature in the premises of the educational buildings with the proposed mode of gas savings by lowering the indoor air temperature, the so-called economical mode of operation of the boiler room. The theoretical economy of gas from lowering the temperature regime is determined. To increase the accuracy of the experiment, the comparison of the amount of gas consumed was performed in terms of working and non-working periods of the day. Based on these studies, it should be noted that the actual plot can be used to determine the actual gas savings in real conditions.
Position controller design and implementation of ball and beam system with SMC and PD control methods
Authors:   Mus Alparslan University, Abut Tayfun
Published: December 2020

Today, several methods are proposed and tested for controlling many nonlinear and unstable systems. This study employed the sliding mode control (SMC) and proportional-derivative (PD), which are used to control the position and modeling of ball and beam system that is a fundamental system used to test the control methods. Such systems are nonlinear and unstable due to their nature. Therefore, these systems are affected by external disturbances and this leads to a decrease in the control quality. The study tested the system by utilizing the classical PD and SMC methods, and the results were assessed by employing the Integral-Square-Error (ISE) performance criterion. The system results were provided as graphics and tables. Besides, the results were compared and analyzed.
Individual drive of internal combustion engine lubrication system based on switched reluctance motor
Authors:   Lviv Polytechnic National University, Holovach Ihor , Kasha Lidiia , Hudzii Ivan
Published: December 2020

The article analyses the modern lubrication systems for internal combustion engines. Systems with mechanical drive components that contain mechanical and electronic components have been found to have a number of disadvantages. In particular, when the internal combustion engine is started cold, when the viscosity of the oil is high, the hydrodynamic resistance characteristic rises sharply, which leads to high pressure at low speeds and the drive requires low pump speeds. Again, the increase in oil temperature causes a decrease in viscosity, the hydrodynamic resistance characteristic becomes flatter. This, in turn, reduces the pressure in the lubrication system and requires an increase in pump speed in order to keep the pressure constant. Based on the analysis, the requirements for lubrication systems are formulated and a separate lubrication system with forced oil supply is proposed in this paper. For the drive of pump lubrication system of the internal combustion engine, a switched reluctance motor is proposed and calculated. Such motor by its qualities is one of the most useful in this type of systems.

Inadequate Accession Data Compromises the Conservation Value of Plant Collections
Authors: Badley Cathy , Hill David J , Wray Nicholas
Published: December 2020

The accession data quality and record keeping at 21 botanic gardens, 35 gardens with National Council for the Conservation of Plants and Gardens (NCCPG) collections, and eight other significant gardens in the UK was surveyed in January 2001, with special reference to Hebe.Nearly half of all the gardens in the survey had no written policies or procedures on accessions. This correlated significantly (p<0.05) with poorer quality accession data. Only 14% of botanicgardens and 17% of NCCPG gardens recorded all the minimum accession data fields recommended by the Botanic Gardens Conservation International (BGCI). Only a third of all types of garden stored all their data on computer; a third of the botanic gardens updated their data less frequently than every two years, and the information transferred from the accession records to labels was sometimes scant. There was a significant negative correlation between the average number of accessions per member of staff, and accession data quality — more than 250accessions per member of staff often corresponding to poor data quality.We challenge the view that botanic gardens should only concentrate on plants from the local indigenous flora (Action Plan for Botanic Gardens in the European Union, BGCI 2000) becauseit restricts the educational role and research potential of the garden and limits the world-wide collections of endangered species being kept safe from indigenous hazards. However, with a need to limit the plants in gardens to a manageable number with good records, criteria will be needed to select which species to represent in collections. A list of criteria, developed from areview of the Hebe collection in the University of Bristol Botanic Garden, is suggested for all plants in botanic and similar gardens.
A Changing Role for the Arboretum of the Universidad Austral de Chile (UACH)
Authors: Hechenleitner Vega Paulina
Published: December 2020

The Arboretum of Universidad Austral de Chile is playing an important role in cultivating some of Chile's most threatened woody plant species in order to establish ex situ conservation collections for research, education and to assist the restoration of depleted wild populations. Changing the way in which the Arboretum manages its plant collections, so that it can play a more effective role in conservation, has been an important output of a Darwin Initiative funded project run in collaboration with the Royal Botanic Garden Edinburgh. The three year project, 'An Integrated Programme for the Conservation of Chilean Threatened Endemic Plants' was started in 2002. This paper describes how the project has assisted in developing facilities in the Arboretum to propagate and grow some of Chile's most threatened plant species and includes details of six lesser known, threatened narrow endemics.

Flowering and Climate Change
Authors: Harper Geoffrey , Morris Leigh
Published: December 2020

Analysis of data from other studies of flowering and leafing phenology suggests that temperature and photoperiod can influence first-flowering date at up to nine developmental stages prior to flowering. On the assumption that not all species will be affected by environmental conditions at the same stages, it is predicted that there will be different groups of plants that can be expected to react in different ways to climate change. A provisional description is given of a group with ‘mediterranean-type’ phenology and extended flowering periods, which is expected to show extreme reaction of first-flowering date to climate change (warming winters). A second and related group is described without the extended flowering period.
Rapid-Survey Methods for Flowering Phenology
Authors: Blades Lyn , Harper Geoffrey , Helfer Stephan , Lee Maria Luisa , Rogers Liz , Stewart Sandra
Published: December 2020

The Weekly Phenology Project at the Royal Botanic Garden Edinburgh has been running for three and a half years at the time of writing. Insufficient data have been collected so far for scientific analysis, but we present provisional conclusions concerning several methods of monitoring flowering behaviour. These range from objective methods, such as presence/absence of open flowers and counts of flowers or inflorescences, to non-objective methods involving assessment of the degree to which full flowering has been achieved. One monitoring method, relying on the relative numbers of flowers in the three states ‘bud’, ‘open’, and ‘gone-over’, is illustrated by the flowering behaviour of ‘simultaneously’ and ‘sequentially’ flowering species. We conclude with a discussion of the relative values of the different methods.

The History and Cultivation of Etlingera – The Torch Gingers – at the Royal Botanic Garden Edinburgh
Authors: Yeats Helen
Published: December 2020

The ginger family, Zingiberaceae, is a pan-tropical family comprising 51 genera and c. 1,200 species predominantly found in Asia and the Pacific regions. The collection at the Royal Botanic Garden Edinburgh (RBGE) has been actively researched since the 1950s (Newman, 2000) and taxonomists from a variety of institutions around the world have discovered, described, verified, named and renamed many taxa within this diverse group of plants. One genus, Etlingera has been extensively worked on recently, with over 30 new species identified from Sulawesi alone and probably between 150 and 200 species altogether within the genus (Poulsen, 2012). A list of the 25 species of Etlingera cultivated at RBGE is provided. Most of these were collected from the wild as seed. Scientific and horticultural field trips to collect members of the ginger family have provided an extensive and ever-expanding unique living research resource and over the last ten years the collection has doubled in size. This paper describes the cultivation of Etlingera at RBGE and discusses some of the features and challenges associated with the genus at RBGE.
Developing Horticultural Protocols for Threatened Plants from the UK Overseas Territories
Authors: Corocoran Marcella , Hamilton Martin A. , Clubbe Colin
Published: December 2020

The UK Overseas Territories (UKOTs) Programme based at the Royal Botanic Garden, Kew (RBG, Kew) has an active training and seed collection programme with local partners in most of the UK’s 16 Overseas Territories. Seeds are banked at the Millennium Seed Bank (MSB) for long-term storage, with a particular focus on endemic and threatened species, contributing to Target 8 of the Global Strategy for Plant Conservation (GSPC). Many of these threatened species have never been in cultivation so horticulture protocols are being developed for each species. Drawing on examples of threatened species from parts of the Caribbean and the Falkland Islands, this paper describes the components of horticulture protocols, from collection through to germination and growth in the first year. It outlines their role and value in the conservation of threatened species. These written protocols together with a short nursery guide are shared with local partners, thereby contributing to Target 3 of the GSPC.
An Investigation into Improving the Germination Rates of Aloe Polyphylla Schönland Ex Pillans
Authors: Berthold Carl
Published: December 2020

A germination technique trial was carried out to improve the germination of Aloe polyphylla Schönland ex Pillans (common name spiral aloe). These germination trials involved different media and temperatures, increased oxygen levels, and light and dark environments. The best results (90% germination) were obtained by vernalising the seeds for two weeks and then placing them in a sunny, but not bright, area with varying temperatures on a water-based medium of either 10% recommended fertiliser solution or in distilled water.The germination of Aloe polyphylla was also compared to three other species in the genus: A. branddraaiensis Groenew, A. castanea Schönl and A. elegans Tod.. The results from this trial showed that, like A. polyphylla, these species can also germinate in water-based media.The success of finding the key requirements for germination show that techniques of this type are important methods for conserving this threatened species and can also be a useful propagation tool for the horticulture industry. The lack of research on this plant highlights the importance of this work for conserving this spectacular species which is listed as Vulnerable in the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) Plant Red Data list and is registered on the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora (CITES).

How Not to Overwater a Rheophyte
Authors: Lundquist Clive R. , Sukri Rahayu S. , Metali Faizah
Published: December 2020

Many herbaceous plants native to Malesian perhumid tropical forests are difficult to cultivate long term in traditional (peat, coir and bark) compost mixes. As a result, many appear to be underrepresented in ex situ living plant collections. Under the leaf-litter, lowland rainforest soils are typically surprisingly low in organic content (< 2%) and many of the smaller forest-floor-dwelling plants exist mainly on steep slopes of bare mineral soils with limited leaf-litter cover. By adopting purely inorganic compost media and placing pots in trays of water the wet mineral soils of their natural habitats are replicated and the plants can be cultivated long term with notable ease. The use of wholly inorganic media reduces the incidence of root rot to such an extent that it is suggested that they should be used more often for the cultivation of slow-growing taxa from other regions which are often considered to be ‘difficult’.

We have scrutinised the names listed in the literature as well as those used from specimens housed in herbaria that are possibly true Athyrium. Of the 25 species names, 12 are attributed to the Philippines, eight are recognised from Java and seven from Borneo and Sumatra. Other parts of Malesia contribute fewer species. A list of names together with information on distribution and specimens examined is provided.
Pollination, Mating System, Phenology and Characterisation of Medinilla multiflora Merr. (Melastomataceae) on Mt Makiling, Philippines
Authors: Quakenbush Peter J
Published: December 2020

An investigation into the reproductive biology of Medinilla multiflora Merr. (Melastomataceae) from Mt Makiling, Luzon, is presented. This includes a morphological and distributional examination of the population on the mountain, the documentation of reproductive phenological patterns, a study of the mating system and observations of biotic interactions. Measurements were made of trait variability, reproductive phenology was characterised from field and herbarium observations, stigmatic receptivity was tested by counting pollen germination, insect exclusion and hand-pollination experiments helped determine the mating system and field observations recorded the identity and behaviour of floral visitors. Significant reproductive morphological differences were found between described populations. This identified a need for the recognition of this diversity and further delimitation of the Medinilla multiflora species complex. Although Medinilla multiflora produced flowers and fruit year-round, the population also exhibited cycles of increased reproduction most likely initiated by seasonal low temperatures. Medinilla multiflora was found to require pollination but not cross-pollination. Two major peaks in stigmatic receptivity occurred throughout the day and the majority of pollen was found to be viable. Generalist bees proved to be the primary pollinators of the study population and were most active in the morning depending on weather conditions. Generalist pollinators and self-compatibility are advantageous traits for establishment and persistence in isolated mountain habitats; however, losses of this habitat due to climate change could have profound consequences for the future success of Medinilla multiflora.

Extracurricular Participation, Collective Self-Esteem, and Academic Outcomes Among College Students
Authors: Knifsend Casey A. , Green Leigh A. , Clifford Kathryn L.
Published: December 2020

Participating in extracurricular activities during college has been linked with positive peer relations and academic success (e.g., Astin, 1984; Stuart et al., 2011). Yet, less research has focused on identity development and collective self-esteem within extracurricular activities, or whether such positive attitudes about one’s activity membership are associated with academic outcomes. In the current study, analyses focused primarily on those who were in at least one activity (n = 109), who reported on friendships within their activity, perceptions of interdependence among members, and collective self-esteem within their activity, as well as their feelings of belonging on campus and grade point average. Regression analyses suggested that having friends in one’s activity (β = .33, p = .001) and higher interdependence (β = .51, p < .001) predicted higher collective self-esteem, with a total adjusted R2 = .44. In turn, greater collective self-esteem was associated marginally with higher feelings of belonging (β = .20, p = .07, adjusted R2 = .07) and grade point average for those in fraternities or sororities (interaction β = .34, p = .006; adjusted R2 = .17; simple slope for Greek organizations: β = .42, p = .07). These findings underscore the importance of considering different dimensions of extracurricular involvement (i.e., both whether one is involved, as well as positive feelings about one’s activity), and provide recommendations to student affairs professionals as to how activities may be structured to promote optimal outcomes during college.
The Importance of Flexible Relational Boundaries: The Role of Connectedness in Self-Compassion and Compassion for Others
Authors: Snyder Kaitlin S. , Luchner Andrew F.
Published: December 2020

Self-compassion and compassion for others have largely been studied independently. However, when studied as separate but related constructs, clear self-other differences emerge. Although intrapersonal and interpersonal differences are perhaps best explained through personality theory, specifically Blatt’s (2008) 2 polarities model, limited research has specifically examined the impact personality organization has on the capacity to extend compassion to oneself and others. The present study examined how personality organization according to 2-polarities model of personality is related to and impacts self-compassion and compassion for others. Participants (N = 226) completed a series of self-report questionnaires online to assess personality organization and compassion competencies. Results yielded 2 predictive models of compassion. Efficacy (+), self-criticism (−), and connectedness (−-) predicted self-compassion (R2 = .47, p < .001). Efficacy (+), self-criticism (−), and connectedness (+) predicted compassion for others (R2 = .36, p < .001). Model disparities elucidate key differences between the constructs, specifically that healthy and flexible relational boundaries are essential for self-compassion, while feelings of security and stability within personal relationships are more important for showing others compassion. Understanding how differences in personality proclivities relate to the nuances in self-compassion and compassion for others may aid therapeutic intervention targeting compassion capacities.
The Effect of Treatability Information and Genetic Explanations on Schizophrenia Stigma
Authors: Hinkley Noah , Sparks Waldron Jordan
Published: December 2020

Attributing mental illness to genetic factors has been shown to reduce blame; however, doing so may create other negative attitudes. Genetic attributions can increase the desire to remain distant from someone with a mental illness (desire for social distance), reduce one’s beliefs that an ill person can get better (prognostic pessimism), and cause people living with mental illness to be perceived as more dangerous. Presenting information about how mental illnesses can be treated alongside a genetic causal attribution may combat these negative side effects. Participants (N = 268) were recruited through Amazon’s Mechanical Turk to read vignettes about a man (“John”) with schizophrenia. Participants randomly received either a genetic or environmental attribution for John’s illness, and then received treatability information or no information. A genetic explanation of schizophrenia led people to believe that the symptoms of schizophrenia described in the vignette were more permanent, p < .01, ηp2 = .07; however, this finding was qualified by a significant interaction where the type of attribution had no impact on prognostic pessimism when presented with treatability information, p = .04, ηp2 = .01. The present findings suggest the potential importance of emphasizing treatability information for disorders that are perceived to be genetically influenced.

In recent years, reduced irrigation has been applied for the cultivation of cotton. While this strategy remains desirable, it needs to be evaluated as it affects the yields and growth of cotton. During 2015 and 2016, two similar cotton experiments (Gossypium hirsutum L.) were performed in Greece, in the area of Karditsa and especially in the location of Palamas. An experiment was established designed according to split-plot design, with main plots four levels of irrigation (IRR. 2, IRR. 4, IRR. 6, IRR. 8) and subplots four varieties of cotton (Dp 419, Campo, Andromeda, Lider) for two growing periods. The results indicated that agronomical characteristics were affected by irrigation dose, while LAI (Leaf Area Index) was affected by irrigation levels and year. LAI higher values were noticed in RR8 level for all varieties. Second year values of LAI were higher than the first year. Irrigation levels affected the number of closed bolls. Closed bolls were ranged from 12 (RR2 with variety Dp 419) to 144.67 (RR8 in same variety). The yield was significantly affected by irrigation levels and variety; the highest value was observed in second year by the Lider variety (3,110 kg ha-1). A strong positive correlation was mentioned between yield and total fresh weight (r=0.72, p=0.001). On a pooled basis, all varieties responded positively to the largest amount of irrigation (RR8).
