How and how much we’ve changed!: Building our Genealogy
Authors: Armendáriz Sanz Andrés
Published: April 2023

The classification and phylogenetic relationships of extinguished organisms by means of their fossils has been and they are a great scientific challenge for paleontologists, being more difficult even for paleoanthropologists, due to the increasing number of published homininis species and the scientific and social request for knowing their classifications and their ancestor-descendant relationships. The present workshop (focused on the last primary, secondary and university years), carry out a complete and traceable route for one of the main methods scientists use with the aim of giving a response to these challenges. In this paper, 9 extinguished homininis species are studied and compared (a wide ranging of genus and chronology) through their real fossil skulls (dimensions and shapes). In addition, H. sapiens and Pan troglodytes (chimpazee) skulls are used as reference. This is a representative sampling of the homininis descent. La clasificación y las relaciones de parentesco de los organismos extintos a través de sus fósiles ha sido y sigue siendo un gran desafío científico al que se enfrentan los paleontólogos. Con mayor dificultad aún lo afrontan los paleoantropólogos, dado el creciente número de especies homininas publicadas y la demanda científica y social por conocer sus clasificaciones y sus relaciones ancestro-descendiente. El presente taller (orientado para últimos cursos de primaria, secundaria y universidad), realiza un completo y trazable recorrido por una de las principales metodologías que utilizan estos científicos para dar respuesta a dichos retos. Aquí se estudian y comparan 9 especies de homininos extintos (variados en géneros y cronologías) a través de sus cráneos fósiles reales (dimensiones y formas) más los cráneos de H. sapiens y Pan troglodytes (chimpancé) como referentes. Siendo un muestreo muy representativo del linaje de los homininos. Se medirán, cuantificarán y compararán hasta 10 caracteres craneofaciales de las especies seleccionadas para realizar un análisis cladístico y confirmar-refutar las clasificaciones taxonómicas a nivel de género y tribu, así como observar posibles tendencias evolutivas. Como colofón, se realizarán ejercicios para transformar en hipotéticas filogenias (relaciones ancestro-descendiente), partiendo del cladograma resultante, de los criterios para realizarlas y de las distribuciones temporales de las especies. El taller puede realizarse de manera presencial o virtual. Ambas modalidades, cuentan con sus ejercicios y plantillas correspondientes (más de 60), presentando una gran versatilidad de cara a combinar los mismos. Se aprovecharán muchos de los resultados para exponer hipótesis científicas de actualidad en el campo de la paleoantropología, haciendo del taller un recurso didáctico actualizado

Twitter in Biotechnology classroom. Now, is the students turn
Authors: Sánchez, Manuel , Saceda Miguel
Published: April 2023

Social networks are increasingly used both to disseminate science and to teach it. In fact, because of its impact at present, to the “publish or perish” another sentence must be added “get visible or vanish”. There are many examples of scientists who use social networks as a way to communicate their results or spread their research to society. One of such initiatives are the Massive Open On-line Courses that have been set up by the Spanish Society of Microbiology carried out by a group of professors and researchers. In our case we have applied a “turn of the screw” letting the students go from being the recipients of the scientific information, to being generators of it, as part of their scientific and academic training. For this, a group of students from 1st and 2nd year of the Degree in Biotechnology have performed a series of “threads” to be published on Twitter. In the case of 1st year students, the threads should summarize some of the topics taught in class. In the case of 2nd year students, the threads should describe the content of a scientific article. The learning results have been promising and we intend to repeat and improve the experience in future courses. Las redes sociales son cada vez más usadas tanto para divulgar la ciencia como para enseñarla. De hecho, por su impacto en la actualidad, al manido “publica o perece” se le debe añadir el dicho “si no te ven, te desvaneces”. Hay muchos ejemplos de científicos que usan las redes sociales como una manera más de comunicar sus resultados o bien difundir sus actividades al resto de la sociedad. Incluso se han montado iniciativas como los cursos on-line por parte de la Sociedad Española de Microbiología realizados por un grupo de profesores e investigadores. En nuestro caso hemos aplicado un “giro de tuerca” y que los estudiantes pasen de ser los receptores de esa información científica, a ser generadores de la misma como parte de su formación científica y académica. Para ello, a un grupo de alumnos de 1º y 2º curso del Grado de Biotecnología se les ha pedido que realicen una serie de “hilos” para ser publicados en Twitter. En el caso de los alumnos de 1º curso, los hilos deberían resumir alguno de los temas impartidos en clase. En el caso de los alumnos de 2º curso los hilos debían de describir el contenido de un artículo científico. Los resultados de aprendizaje han sido prometedores y pensamos repetir y mejorar la experiencia en cursos futuros

Authors: Somerville Logan
Published: April 2023

This essay explores the complex relationship between legal and moral rules, and their impact on collective security, using the U.S-Iraq war as a case study. The paper argues that broken moral and legal rules, such as human rights violations and defiance of UN resolutions, led to concern for collective security, and ultimately, the necessity for conflict. The paper proposes that the basis for the war was humanitarian intervention, which is consistent with the purpose of the UN under these conditions. The essay also considers the role of occupying forces in maintaining stability and emphasizes the importance of adhering to international laws and regulations in promoting peace and security. The essay highlights Iraq's failure to comply with resolutions which stipulated that Iraq must cooperate with the destruction of all chemical and biological weapons and end the repression of Iraqi citizens, creating grave concerns for the international community's peace and security. Overall, the paper highlights the close interplay between legal and moral rules, and their impact on collective security, underscoring the need for humanitarian intervention and stability.
Can Ecofeminism Advance the Degrowth Political Project?
Authors: Figueroa Monica
Published: April 2023

Global warming and environmental degradation have made climate action a twenty-first century imperative. However, the pathway to achieve a greener future has been contested by environmental economists, degrowth theorists, and ecofeminists. Degrowth and ecofeminism oppose the market-based solutions of environmental economics, and each propose a different pathway based on a restructuring of the economy and gender relations, respectively. In this paper I argue that ecofeminism can advance the degrowth project by bringing attention to the gendered nature of the climate crisis.
Commodification of the Black Female Body
Authors: Reece Ayesha-Jade
Published: April 2023

The legal institution of chattel slavery has demonstrated commodity fetishization of the Black female body. White Englishmen have, throughout history, utilized Marx’s doctrine to codify the existence of African American women as sexual property for their pleasure. Furthermore, commodity fetishism explains the racism and white superiority that white Englishmen were able to uphold over their enslaved counterparts. African American women were vulnerable to dehumanization, sexual exploitation, premature violence, and rape. Slavery was intended to systematically oppress African American females in appropriating blackness through the transformation of enslaved African American women into forms of capital, which has become an ideological foundation in slave regimes. As these regimes further developed, the commodification of African American females has increased.

Authors:   Korea Accounting Information Association, Bae Seongho
Published: April 2023

[Purpose]In Article 11 ② of the Korea Fair Trade Act, the total amount of consideration in exchange for a business combination is presented. However, there is no clear criteria for measuring and evaluating the consideration. Therefore, this study aims to analyze Article 11 ② of the Fair Trade Act from an accounting point of view and propose improvements to the Act.
[Methodology]Overseas legislative cases (U.S.A., Germany, Austria, EU), Korea International Financial Reporting Standards, Korea Inheritance and Gift Tax Act were investigated.
[Findings]First, the Fair Trade Act needs to be diversified and specified by the types of transaction consideration. In addition, it is necessary to organically link the Fair Trade Act and accounting standards by using the concepts suggested by K－IFRS when measuring the consideration amount. Second, the Fair Trade Act needs to be clear criteria for measuring the transaction amount. Third, the fair value criteria should be applied firstly to the transaction amount, and if the fair value is unclear, the evaluation standards under the Inheritance and Gift Tax Act should be applied.
[Implications]This paper has an implication that the Korea Fair Trade Act, which has been mainly studied in law, was analyzed from an accounting point of view. Through this, it is meaningful that the applicability of the Fair Trade Act has been increased, and the possibility of harmonization with the accounting has been increased.

Published: April 2023

Çocukların düşünme, üretme, yaratıcı olma yeteneklerini önemli ölçüde etkileyen oyun ve oyuncakların tarih, coğrafya, sosyoloji, psikoloji, siyaset, sanayi ve turizm ile kısacası kültür ile çok yakın bir ilişkisi vardır. Oyuncaklar
ait oldukları toplulukların bir kültürel kimlik ve kültürel miras değerleridir. Bir tasarım ögesi olarak oyuncak her zaman kültürel sürekliliğin bir parçası olup ülkelerin kültürel ve tarihi değişimleri sonucunda şekillenmiştir.
Malzemesi, üretim tekniği değişmiş olsa bile her kültür kendi oyuncağını yaratmıştır ve yaratmaya devam etmektedir. Ancak günümüz küreselleşme etkisi altında oyuncak tasarımı da özgün niteliklerini yitirmekte çoğunlukla turistik
ve ticari ürünler haline gelmektedirler. Oysa bir kültürel miras unsuru olan oyuncaklardan bir kaynak olarak yararlanılması dünyanın her yerinde yaygın bir tasarım yöntemi haline gelmiştir. Dünyada farklı kültürlerin kendilerine
özgü oyuncak tasarımları ülkenin geleceğinin kodlarını içinde barındıran çok önemli materyaller olarak kabul görmüşlerdir. Marka haline gelen ve kültürel sürdürülebilirliğin ürünleri olarak korunan bu oyuncaklar aynı zamanda endüstriyel
miras açısından da çok sayıda ve zengin çeşitlilikteki bileşenleri ile bir araya getirerek kültürel kimlik, yaratıcılık ve farklılığın temel kaynaklarının ortaya konmasını mümkün kılmaktadır. Oyuncak tasarımı ve üretimi bu anlamda
miras kaynaklı oyuncak tasarımından öte çok yönlü fayda sağlayan bir sürdürülebilirlik alanıdır. Çünkü oyuncakla öğrenme ve oyun atölyelerinde aynı zamanda malzeme bilgisi, tarih, tasarım öğeleri, bilim ilkeleri, yaratma sevinci
ve deneyimi hakkında önemli veriler kazandırır. Bu makale kültürel mirasın, müzelerin, oyun ve oyuncak tasarımının kültürel sürdürülebilirlik açışından bağlantılarını incelemiştir. Makalenin hedefindeki kavramlar Bursa Tofaş Anadolu
Arabaları Müzesinde somutlaşarak kültürel mirasın korunmasında bir yöntem önerisine varmıştır. Türkiye’de kültürel miras ürünlerinin korunması kapsamında anlamlı örneklerden biri olan Bursa Tofaş Anadolu Arabaları Müzesinde at
arabalarının çeşitli oyuncaklar haline getirilmesi ve müze bünyesinde bir atölye kurularak gelen ziyaretçilerin deneyimlemesi ve sunulması önerilmektedir. Böylece Bursa Tofaş Anadolu Arabaları Müzesi, bir üretim ve sanayi mirasının
ve kültürünün gelecek kuşaklara aktarılmasını sağlayacak sürdürülebilir bir tasarım metoduna kaynak olacaktır.

The field experiment conducted at Rice Research Station, Tirur, Tiruvallur District of Tamil Nadu Agricultural University aimed to evaluate the performance of rice-based cropping sequences of cucurbits in the district. Five cropping sequences were evaluated for Rice - Rice - Ashgourd, Rice - Rice - Muskmelon, Rice - Rice - Cucumber, Rice - Rice - Pumpkin and Rice - Rice - Watermelon. The study focused on the post samba season (December - March), when water scarcity results in low yields for rice cultivation. Instead of leaving the land as fallow during this season, cucurbits were raised to increase income. The results indicated that watermelon, cucumber and muskmelon were suitable for cultivation during the post samba season, with good economic returns. Rice – Rice - Watermelon recorded the highest yield of 26.10 t/ha with a BCR of 2.66 followed by Rice – Rice - Muskmelon (yield; 25.05 t/ha and BCR: 2.30) and Rice – Rice - Cucumber also showed good results with a yield of 20.4 t/ha and BCR of 2.19. Overall, the experiment's findings suggested that cultivating short duration cucurbits in the rice cropping sequence during the post samba season could help farmers to generate additional income instead of leaving the land as fallow. This information could be beneficial for farmers in Tiruvallur district, as it provides an alternative income source and maximizes the land's productivity during the low-yielding season.

Authors: Bingemer Maria Clara
Published: April 2023

O presente texto pretende apresentar a figura de Dorothy Day, jornalista e ativista estadunidense católica e que hoje se encontra em processo de beatificação por parte da Igreja, e avaliar sua contribuição teológico-social. Apresenta-se primeiro seu perfil biográfico fazendo-se posteriormente uma análise de diversas perspectivas de sua sensibilidade como mulher: corporal, estética, social e espiritual. Essa sensibilidade multifacética faz de Dorothy Day uma rara síntese de figura feminina que vive uma união mística com Deus ao mesmo tempo em que professa um profundo compromisso com os mais pobres. A segunda parte do texto analisa o movimento fundado por Dorothy Day – o Catholic Worker Movement (CWM) –, comparando-o com a Teologia da Libertação na América Latina. Ambos os movimentos se configuraram em torno da opção pelos pobres, um nos Estados Unidos, outro no Sul da América. Na conclusão procuramos chegar a algumas pistas sobre a importância de Dorothy Day como inspiração para a sociedade e a Igreja de hoje.

Sinodalidade e sensus fidelium
Authors: Coelho Mário Marcelo
Published: April 2023

O caminho sinodal, entre tantos outros temas importantes e urgentes, também deverá abordar o ensinamento sobre a moral matrimonial da Igreja católica. Deverá ajudar a encontrar caminhos possíveis de resposta a Deus e de crescimento no meio dos limites. Precisamos retomar e aprofundar a abertura que o Papa Francisco deixa na exortação Amoris Laetitia para a comunhão eucarística aos casais que estão em uma nova união. Francisco provocou essa reflexão. O Papa afirma que a Eucaristia não é um prêmio para os perfeitos, mas um “alimento para os fracos” (EG 47). A compreensão do sensus fidelium, que pertence ao foro interno, é o caminho do discernimento para que o casal possa aceder aos sacramentos da Confissão e da Eucaristia. Ao considerar a complexidade das situações nas quais as pessoas estão envolvidas, neste caso os casais em nova união, acreditamos no valor do discernimento nas situações e circunstâncias da vida e, dessa forma, em conceder mais espaço à consciência. Portanto, deve-se acreditar nas intenções honestas dos casais em situações irregulares de resolver o problema da comunhão sacramental, isto é, deixar espaço à consciência dos fiéis (AL 37).

Palavras-chave: Sinodalidade; Sensus fidelium; Discernimento; Moral matrimonial; Comunhão sacramental.

Abstract: The Synod Path, among many other important and urgent topics, should also address the Catholic Church’s teaching on morality with regard to marriage. It should help to find possible ways to respond to God and to grow in the midst of limitations. We need to take up and deepen the opening that Pope Francis leaves in the exhortation Amoris Laetitia for Eucharistic communion to couples who are in a new union. Francis has provoked this reflection. The Pope states that the Eucharist is not a prize for the perfect, but “food for the weak” (EG 47). Understanding the sensus fidelium, which belongs to the internal forum, is the path of discernment for the couple to access the sacraments of Confession and the Eucharist. In considering the complexity of the situations in which people are involved, in this case newly-wed couples, we believe in the value of discernment in life situations and circumstances and, in this way, giving more room to the conscience. Therefore, one should believe in the honest intentions of couples in exceptional situations to resolve the problem of sacramental communion, that is, to leave room for the conscience of the faithful (AL 37).

Keywords: Synodality; Sensus fidelium; Discernment; Moral of marriage; Sacramental communion.
Face recognition based attendance system using machine learning with location identification
Authors: Naveen raj M  , R.Vadivel
Published: April 2023

The paper argues that maintaining regular attendance is crucial for student success, and traditional attendance management methods can be inefficient and time-consuming for teachers and administrators. For example, calling out student names or taking manual attendance on paper can take up valuable classroom time and can be prone to errors or manipulation .To address these issues, the paper suggests that a computer-based attendance management system using Computer Vision technology can be an effective solution. Computer Vision involves the use of cameras, sensors, and algorithms to identify and analyze visual data, including images of individuals. In the context of attendance management, Computer Vision can be used to capture images of students during class and automatically recognize and mark their attendance using facial recognition technology. This approach can offer several advantages over traditional attendance methods. Firstly, it can be faster and more accurate, reducing the time and effort needed to manage attendance manually. Secondly, it can provide real-time updates on attendance status, allowing teachers to track students who arrive late or leave early. Finally, it can generate reports on attendance patterns, allowing administrators to identify and address issues related to student attendance and engagement. Overall, the paper highlights the potential benefits of using a computer-based attendance management system using Computer Vision, emphasizing its ability to streamline attendance management and improve student outcomes.

Stationary thermal-gas-dynamics of flows in the cylinder and exhaust system of a piston engine
Authors: Plotnikov L. V. , Shurupov V. A. , Slednev V. A. , Davydov D. A. , Krasilnikov D. N.
Published: April 2023

THE PURPOSE. To evaluate the influence of the exhaust manifold design on gas dynamics and heat transfer of stationary, turbulent gas flows in the cylinder and the exhaust system of a reciprocating internal combustion engine for different boundary conditions based on physical and mathematical modeling.

METHODS. The study of gas dynamics and heat transfer of flows was carried out using the CFD approach in specialized Russian-made software. The simulation was performed for a pressure drop from 0.15 to 40 kPa (the flow velocity at the outlet of the system was 10-130 m/s). The k-e turbulence model was used for modeling. The computational grid consisted of 610,000 cells. The design change consisted in the use of profiled channels with cross sections in the form of a circle (diameter 30 mm), a square (side 30 mm) and a triangle (side 52 mm).

RESULTS. The article describes the mathematical model, the studied geometry of the exhaust system and the analysis of the obtained data. The velocity field, isolines of equal velocities, and tangential velocity vectors were chosen as the gas-dynamic characteristics of the flow. The gas dynamics in the longitudinal section of the exhaust system and the valve, as well as the visualization of the flow structure in 4 control sections along the length of the exhaust system, were analyzed. The heat transfer coefficient in the exhaust system was used to evaluate the heat transfer characteristics of the flow. Qualitative and quantitative differences in gas dynamics and heat transfer processes are shown.

CONCLUSION. It has been established that there are common gas-dynamic effects during the flow of gas in different elements of the exhaust system. The evolution of the flow structure along the length of the exhaust system is shown based on the change in the velocity field, isolines of equal velocities, and tangential velocity vectors. The vortex structures formed in the valve assembly and the corners of the profiled channels are revealed. It has been established that the use of profiled channels in the exhaust system leads to a decrease in the heat transfer coefficient by 5 to 12%.

The characteristics of the stages with different lengths of the working blades presented and the results of their calculation in the nominal mode are given. A model daily schedule selected for a nuclear power plant turbine operating in the central region of Russia. The results of calculations of variable modes of the last stage of the turbine operating according to this daily schedule presented.

CONCLUSION. The choice of the maximum length of the working blade is limited not only by its strength characteristics, but also by the increase in wave losses in the gratings due to an increase in the optimal available heat drop, or rather the associated increase in supersonic speeds near the meridional contours. So for a high-speed turbine To-1200-6,8/50 the maximum efficiency of the last stage is achieved at a length of 1400 mm, both when the turbine is configured with both three two-flow LPC and four. Selection of the main characteristics of these stages, such as the available heat drop, the degree of reactivity, etc. it should be made taking into account the variable operating modes of the turbine on the basis of the forecast of daily schedules of loads of turbine units. When using a typical daily load schedule, the average internal relative efficiency in the range of operating modes according to this schedule is higher by 0.6 % when choosing a 10% increased available heat drop compared to the optimal one in the design mode.

The possibility of using arc-PVD coatings Ti – Al – N, Ti – Al – Ni – N, Ti – Cr – Ni – N and Ti – Cr – Ni – Mo – N as protective on the surface of products made of AISI 420 steel, operating in friction pairs with carbon fiber in contact with sea water. An improvement in the resistance properties of the surface is shown when using coatings of the Ti – Al – Ni – N, Ti – Cr – Ni – N and Ti – Cr – Ni – Mo – N systems. Whereas uncoated and Ti – Al – N coated steels exhibited high friction wear rates (109.21·10–5 and 19.24·10–5 mm3/(N·m), respectively) as well as active oxidation in electrochemical tests under conditions of interaction with a medium simulating sea water (3 % NaCl solution), the coatings Ti – Al – Ni – N, Ti – Cr – Ni – N and Ti – Cr – Ni – Mo – N was not shown significant wear during friction in tandem with UGET grade carbon fiber, and under the conditions of electrochemical tests, their use led to the phenomenon of self-passivation of coatings and the absence of pitting on the surface, which made it possible to conclude that their use as protective ones for operation in conditions of contact with sea water is highly effective.
EL DEVENIR DE LA EDUCACIÓN INTERCULTURAL BILINGÜE (EIB) EN ECUADOR, UNA PROMESA EN CONSTRUCCIÓN
Authors: Rizzo Zambrano Betty , Moreno Sánchez Emilia , Mendoza Sierra María Isabel
Published: April 2023

El presente trabajo trata de una investigación orientada a analizar fuentes científicas y legales para determinar la trascendencia en el proceso histórico de gestión de las políticas públicas en educación intercultural y su correspondencia con los planteamientos de los pueblos indígenas. Se realiza una revisión bibliográfica para construir la descripción de los pueblos y nacionalidades indígenas en el Ecuador, de cara a abordar la importancia de la valoración de sus culturas y lenguas en el proceso del reconocimiento de la interculturalidad y la implementación de la Educación Intercultural Bilingüe (EIB). Se analiza la incorporación de la identidad plurinacional y pluricultural en la normativa ecuatoriana, para luego considerar el proceso de ejecución de políticas públicas en la EIB. Los resultados mostraron que, si bien existen avances en la institucionalización de la EIB en el país, la implementación de las políticas públicas, muchas veces se contraponen a las propuestas e intereses de los pueblos indígenas, provocándose una acción paralela y no correspondiente. Es necesario contribuir al fortalecimiento de la EIB con la participación de los pueblos y nacionalidades para que se incorporen las reivindicaciones de sus derechos a una educación en coherencia y correspondencia con la diversidad.

Authors: Islek Fulya , Yüksel Yalçın , Yuksel Furkan
Published: April 2023

In the study, the performance of the MIKE 21 SW (Spectral Wave) model using the three different wind fields, namely ERA-Interim, ERA5, and CFSR was evaluated in the Eastern Mediterranean Sea. Model results were calibrated with four buoy measurements by tuning physical model parameters. Wave simulations showed a strong sensitivity to the whitecapping parameter (Cds). Calibrated MIKE 21 SW model run to validate at two buoy measurements. Considering the statistical error measures: (i) ERA-I predicted lower significant wave heights and wave periods than ERA5 and CFSR, (ii) statistical error measures (bias, RMSE, and SI) obtained with CFSR were calculated slightly higher than those obtained using ERA5 (iii) ERA5 performed slightly better in the hindcast of Eastern Mediterranean wave properties than ERA-I. As a result of all evaluations, the highest correlation coefficient (R), relatively low statistical error measures, and slightly better accuracy were provided by the model settings forced with ERA5 wind fields.
Simple graphical rules for assessing selection bias in general-population and selected-sample treatment effects
Authors: Mathur Maya B , Shpitser Ilya
Published: April 2023

When analyzing a selected sample from a general population, selection bias can arise relative to the causal average treatment effect (ATE) for the general population, and also relative to the ATE for the selected sample itself. We provide simple graphical rules that indicate: (1) if a selected-sample analysis will be unbiased for each ATE; (2) whether adjusting for certain covariates could eliminate selection bias. The rules can easily be checked in a standard single-world intervention graph. When the treatment could affect selection, a third estimand that may be of scientific interest is the “net treatment difference”, i.e., the net change in outcomes that would occur for the selected group if all members of the general population were treated versus not treated, including any effects of the treatment on which individuals are in the selected group. We provide graphical rules for this estimand as well. We decompose bias in a selected-sample analysis relative to the general-population ATE into: (1) "internal bias’’ relative to the net treatment difference; (2) "net-external bias’’, a discrepancy between the net treatment difference and the general-population ATE. Each bias can be assessed unambiguously via a distinct graphical rule, providing new conceptual insight into exactly why certain causal structures produce selection bias.

Differential expression of NUSAP1 in cancer of the cervix.
Authors: Mamoor Shahan
Published: April 2023

Almost all cervical cancers are caused by infection with high-risk human papillomaviruses (HPVs) (1-3); the transcriptional features that distinguish the gene expression programs of HPV-induced cancers from that of cancers resulting from non-viral abrogation of tumor suppression remain incompletely defined. We mined published microarray datasets (4, 5) to determine in an unbiased fashion and at the level of the transcriptome genes most differentially expressed in the primary tumors of patients with the most common type of cervical cancer, cervical squamous cell carcinoma. We found significant differential expression of the gene encoding nucleolar- and spindle-associated protein 1, NUSAP1, when comparing tumor tissue from the human cervix to the tissue of origin. NUSAP1 mRNA was present at significantly higher quantities in tumors of the cervix as compared to normal tissues from the cervix. Analysis of human survival data revealed that expression of NUSAP1 in tumors of the cervix was correlated with overall survival in patients with cervical cancer. NUSAP1 expression changes may be important for the initiation or progression of cancer of the cervix in humans.
Earth tides can reactivate shallow faults and trigger seabed methane emissions

Published: April 2023

The role of solid Earth tide in fault reactivation has significant implications for understanding earthquake triggering, carbon sequestration, and the global carbon budget. Despite extensive research on this topic over the years, the relationship between Earth tide and fault reactivation remains unclear. In this study, we investigate the potential influence of solid Earth tide on the reactivation of sub-seabed fractures and faults, which may lead to the release of methane from the seabed. For a period of two weeks, we monitored the sub-seabed temperature and pore-fluid pressure at two sites on an over-pressured fault system located in the Black Sea. Our observations revealed that, despite the ~790 m distance between the two sites, the response in terms of methane discharge was synchronous during the measurement period. Our analysis showed that the presence of over-pressured fluid promotes fault reactivation under solid Earth tide cycles, resulting in synchronized degassing events. We also showed that that these faults can be reactivated with relatively low stresses, no greater than 2 kPa, illustrating the fragile equilibrium of these greenhouse gas laden systems.
The problem of viewpoint I: Why does the Necker cube look the way it does?
Authors: Maniatis Lydia Maria
Published: April 2023

The perception of viewpoint – the experience that we are looking at an object from above, below, left, right – has never been properly investigated, or even properly understood. When it has been addressed – generally in the context of bistable figures which induce dichotomous structural and viewpoint experiences – it is assumed that the viewpoint changes are a natural correlate of the associated structural switches and/or that they are based on past encounters with objects casting similar projections. Both assumptions are easily disproved. Neither the retinal projection of a figure nor its perceptual consequence impose any geometric constraints on viewpoint. Furthermore, it may easily be shown that the “from below” Necker structure is just as consistent with an object viewed from above in daily life as the “from above” version. Here, I analyze the problem of viewpoint as background to a more detailed analysis to follow.
