DfD building system is a new approach in construction. Using DfD building system can reduce construction waste and reuse building components. This research examines the strength and behaviour of DfD column connections. Two types column connections were studied.The first connection employed H shaped steel elements bolted to the column while the second connection was bolt and plate connection. The behavior of columns with connections was compared to that of without connection. This study was carried out to investigate the strength, crack patterns, and failure mechanisms of precast concrete with dry joint on DfD column structure. All specimens were subject to normal force applied with an eccentricity of 67 mm. The test results indicate that both columns with connections were able to withstand design loads. This study also confirmed that the shear strength calculation of corbel based on SNI 03-2847-2002 section 13.9 was conservative to use as the value was still smaller than that obtained from this experiment.

Two types of contracts that are used in the road project is a traditional contract (Unit Price) and performance based contract (Lump Sum). Both types of contracts have their own risks. Therefore, it is necessary to measure which type of contracts is more risky between traditional contract and performance-based contract from the perspective of the contractor using Analytical Hierarchy Process. Analytical Hierarchy Process (AHP) is a method used to find a weight where the intensity of the risks using traditional contract and performance-based contract can be measured and analyzed. This research took sample for project with a traditional contract is Kendal – Semarang Road Project. While the samples for the project with a performance based contract is Semarang – Bawen Road Project. The results of the calculation by the alternative assessment, are the higher rank is performance based contract which is 0.56 (56%), while traditional contract is the second with the total score 0.44 (44%). The mean is performance based contract more risky than traditional contract from the perspective of the contractor.

Belmera toll road in North Sumatra was the first toll road, links Belawan-Medan-Tanjung Morawa. The aim of this research is to find the relationship model between speed, density and volume on Belmera toll road based on a traffic study. The traffic study which embodies volume study and the speed of vehicles were divided into 5 vehicle classification, into 2 traffic lines (Entrance and Exit Tanjung Morawa’s toll gates), was conducted on Friday and Saturday around the peak hour on each traffic current. The study concluded that Greenberg model is the best approach for traffic current on Belmera toll road. According to Greenberg model we acquire a mathematical equation of the relationship between speed-density, volume-density, and volume-speed of Exit Tanjung Morawa’s toll gates as: S=98,100-6,700LnD, V=98,100D–16,700DLnD, V=355,758Se-0,059S and the Entrance as: S=99,312–17,442LnD, V=99,312D–17,442DLnD, V=297,033 Se-0,057S. Based on the observation and application of Greenberg model, traffic indicator (v/c, flow, density) of both current revealed that the level of service of Belmera toll road is C and it’s a fine traffic performance so far. The speed rate (km/hour) and density (pcu/km) revealed that the acquired rate from the observation is smaller than the application of Greenberg model.

East Flood Way is one of the rivers in Semarang City that often cause flooding. Flood water level in the East Flood Way is affected by the discharge of storm water runoff and tide (rob). Facts on the ground indicate that the flood water level in the canal tends to increase from year to year. One possible reason is the increased flood discharge associated with climate change, besides the impacts of land use changes. This study aims to analyze the impacts of climate change on rainfall characteristics and their effects on flood hydrograph in the East Flood Way. The study begins with the collection and analysis of historical rainfall data to get a change of rainfall characteristics over time. The flood hydrograph was then analysed by HEC HMS. The results showed that in the period of last 30 years annual rainfall and maximum daily rainfall tended to increase of 22.64 mm / year and 2.56 mm / year consecutively, while the number of rainy days tend to decrease of 4 days / year. As a result of changes in the characteristics of the rainfall, the flood discharge of East Flood Way is expected to increase in the range between the 15.10 m3/s (31.5%) for 2-year return period up to 32.28 m3/s (25.5 %) for 200-year return period.

Wood Plastic Composite (WPC) is wood based material that been produce by mixing sawdust as main composition and plastic polymer as bonding agent. Nowadays, WPC board already been produced in Indonesia using Sengon sawdust and recycle HDPE plastic. Sengon sawdust was used as WPC since its availability from plywood production waste, moreover HDPE plastic considered had higher strength and more rigid than PET plastic. WPC occasionally being used as non structural material, moreover from previous study about mechanical properties of WPC, it was found that WPC Sengon has high shear strength around 25 – 30 MPa. These lead that WPC Sengon had a potential used as shear wall sheathing, thus additional research need to be conducted in order to study the type of bolt and diameter of the bolt can be used for these shear wall. This study aimed to investigate the dowel bearing of bolt using full hole method based on ASTM D5764 with type and bolt diameter as specimen variation. Two types of bolt were used in this study; stainless bolt and standard bolt with diameter each of 6 mm, 8 mm, 10 mm and 12 mm. According to ANOVA, there was insignificant result between stainless bolt and standard one, but there was significant result based on diameter of the bolt. Hereafter, it can be recommended the used of 10 mm diameter of bolt for structural purpose with dowel bearing strength around 67 – 70 MPa.

The Propositional Logic of Frege’s Grundgesetze: Semantics and Expressiveness
Authors: Berg Eric D. , Cook Roy T.
Published: June 2017

In this paper we compare the propositional logic of Frege’s Grundgesetze der Arithmetik to modern propositional systems, and show that Frege does not have a separable propositional logic, definable in terms of primitives of Grundgesetze, that corresponds to modern formulations of the logic of “not”, “and”, “or”, and “if…then…”. Along the way we prove a number of novel results about the system of propositional logic found in Grundgesetze, and the broader system obtained by including identity. In particular, we show that the propositional connectives that are definable in terms of Frege’s horizontal, negation, and conditional are exactly the connectives that fuse with the horizontal, and we show that the logical operators that are definable in terms of the horizontal, negation, the conditional, and identity are exactly the operators that are invariant with respect to permutations on the domain that leave the truth-values fixed. We conclude with some general observations regarding how Frege understood his logic, and how this understanding differs from modern views.

High‐affinity cooperative Ca2+ binding by MICU1–MICU2 serves as an on–off switch for the uniporter
Authors: Kamer Kimberli J , Grabarek Zenon , Mootha Vamsi K
Published: June 2017

The mitochondrial calcium uniporter is a Ca2+‐activated Ca2+ channel that is essential for dynamic modulation of mitochondrial function in response to cellular Ca2+ signals. It is regulated by two paralogous EF‐hand proteins—MICU1 and MICU2, but the mechanism is unknown. Here, we demonstrate that both MICU1 and MICU2 are stabilized by Ca2+. We reconstitute the MICU1–MICU2 heterodimer and demonstrate that it binds Ca2+ cooperatively with high affinity. We discover that both MICU1 and MICU2 exhibit affinity for the mitochondria‐specific lipid cardiolipin. We determine the minimum Ca2+ concentration required for disinhibition of the uniporter in permeabilized cells and report a close match with the Ca2+‐binding affinity of MICU1–MICU2. We conclude that cooperative, high‐affinity interaction of the MICU1–MICU2 complex with Ca2+ serves as an on–off switch, leading to a tightly controlled channel, capable of responding directly to cytosolic Ca2+ signals.
Maternal Haploid, a Metalloprotease Enriched at the Largest Satellite Repeat and Essential for Genome Integrity in Drosophila Embryos

Published: June 2017

The incorporation of the paternal genome into the zygote during fertilization requires chromatin remodeling. The maternal haploid (mh) mutation in Drosophila affects this process and leads to the formation of haploid embryos without the paternal genome. mh encodes the Drosophila homolog of SPRTN, a conserved protease essential for resolving DNA–protein cross-linked products. Here we characterize the role of MH in genome maintenance. It is not understood how MH protects the paternal genome during fertilization, particularly in light of our finding that MH is present in both parental pronuclei during zygote formation. We showed that maternal chromosomes in mh mutant embryos experience instabilities in the absence of the paternal genome, which suggests that MH is generally required for chromosome stability during embryogenesis. This is consistent with our finding that MH is abundantly present on chromatin throughout the cell cycle. Remarkably, MH is prominently enriched at the 359-bp satellite repeats during interphase, which becomes unstable without MH. This dynamic localization and specific enrichment of MH at the 359 repeats resemble that of Topoisomerase 2 (Top2), suggesting that MH regulates Top2, possibly as a protease for the resolution of Top2-DNA intermediates. We propose that maternal MH removes proteins specifically enriched on sperm chromatin. In the absence of that function, paternal chromosomes are precipitously lost. This mode of paternal chromatin remodeling is likely conserved and the unique phenotype of the Drosophila mh mutants represents a rare opportunity to gain insights into the process that has been difficult to study.

Register variation in malicious forensic texts
Authors: Nini Andrea
Published: June 2017

The study reported here examines a corpus of 104 authentic malicious forensic texts for register variation. A malicious forensic text is defined in this paper as a text that is threatening, abusive or defaming and that constitutes evidence for a forensic case. This corpus was firstly tagged with a set of situational parameters and then analysed using the same multidimensional model introduced in Biber (1988; 1989). The results of the study indicate that malicious forensic texts, similarly to non-malicious professional letters, are on average instances of the Involved Persuasion text type, which is characterised by linguistic features overtly expressing modality. The results also confirm that threatening texts tend to use more modal verbs than non-threatening texts. Furthermore, the personal knowledge between interactants was found to highly influence the level of information density of the texts, while the narrativity level of malicious texts was found to be affected by whether the text contains harmful content directed to the addressee or to a third party. These findings can inform and improve the authorship analysis of malicious texts and increase our understanding of the creation of language crimes.
Strength of forensic text comparison evidence from stylometric features: a multivariate likelihood ratio-based analysis
Authors: Ishihara Shunichi
Published: June 2017

An experiment in forensic text comparison (FTC) within the likelihood ratio (LR) framework is described, in which authorship attribution was modelled with word- and character-based stylometric features. Chatlog messages of 115 authors were selected from a chatlog archive containing real pieces of chatlog evidence used to prosecute paedophiles. Four different text lengths (500, 1000, 1500 or 2500 words) were used for modelling in order to investigate how system performance is influenced by sample size. Strength of authorship attribution evidence (or LR) is estimated with the Multivariate Kernel Density formula. Performance was primarily assessed with the log-likelihood ratio cost (Cllr), but assessments of other metrics, e.g. credible interval and equal error rate, are also given. Taking into account the small number of features used for modelling authorship attribution, results are promising. Even with a small sample size of 500 words, the system achieved a discrimination accuracy of c. 76% (Cllr = 0.68258). With a sample size of 2500 words, a discrimination accuracy of c. 94% (Cllr = 0.21707) was obtained. Larger sample size is beneficial to FTC, resulting in an improvement in discriminability, an increase in the magnitude of the consistent-with-fact LRs and a decrease in the magnitude of the contrary-to-fact LRs. It was found that ‘Average character number per word token’, ‘Punctuation character ratio’, and vocabulary richness features are robust features, which work well regardless of sample sizes. The results demonstrate the efficacy of the LR framework for analysing authorship attribution evidence.
Jury instructions: comparing hearing and deaf jurors’ comprehension via direct or mediated communication
Authors: Napier Jemina , Spencer David
Published: June 2017

This project investigated the capacity of deaf people using Australian Sign Language (Auslan) to serve as jurors. Following on from a pilot study with 6 deaf and 6 hearing people acting as ‘jurors’ (see Napier & Spencer, 2007, 2008), this project replicated the method of the earlier study, and compared the level of comprehension of 30 deaf jurors to a control group of 30 non-deaf (‘hearing’) jurors from three different major cities in Australia; in order to assess the ability for deaf jurors to comprehend jury instructions when mediated via a signed language interpreter, as compared to comprehension of hearing jurors receiving the instructions directly in spoken English. The methodology involved combining quantitative and qualitative approaches in the experimental design of a comprehension test with post-test interviews. The results showed that the pilot study findings were replicated, and that deaf and hearing people equally misunderstood content of jury instructions. The findings may have significant impact in pioneering law reform in Australia and internationally, by providing evidence for the fact that deaf people are not disadvantaged at having to access information via sign language interpreters, and therefore receiving mediated, as opposed to direct, access to courtroom discourse.

Published: June 2017

Esse estudo faz parte de uma pesquisa realizada com docentes do curso de informática de três campi do Instituto Federal de Educação, Ciência e Tecnologia do Rio Grande do Norte (IFRN). O universo pesquisado compreendeu vinte e sete docentes, pertencentes aos núcleos estruturante, articulador e tecnológico, sendo nove professores por cada núcleo. Tem como objetivo identificar quais as percepções que esses docentes têm a respeito da formação integral e da formação integrada no Ensino Médio Integrado à Educação Profissional e Tecnológica (EPT). Partimos inicialmente para os estudos bibliográfico e documental que consubstanciaram o aporte teórico, à luz de autores do campo da formação de professores, formação integral e formação integrada, bem como do currículo integrado, a exemplo de Machado (2010, 2011), Ciavatta (2005), Moura (2013), Ramos (2005, 2010), Imbernón (2011). Posteriormente nos reportamos para o campo empírico tendo como ponto norteador a análise da categoria ´percepção sobre EPT, a qual nos deu uma visão ampla da percepção dos professores sobre a formação integral e integrada e a concepção de currículo no âmbito do IFRN. Como parte conclusiva, o estudo apontou, a partir das vozes dos sujeitos entrevistados, que a grande maioria desses professores ainda não se apropriaram epistemologicamente das concepções analisadas, observamos também que tais concepções ainda não foram suficientemente compreendidas e efetivadas em suas práxis, apesar de que eles demonstraram uma intencionalidade em aceitar e adotar essas concepções em seu fazer pedagógico diário.

Este trabalho apresenta uma pesquisa feita em algumas instituições de ensino de Educação profissional de nível técnico com docentes da área em atuação sobre a construção das relações entre teoria e prática na formação de professores. A ideia de construção do artigo surgiu como trabalho final da disciplina acadêmica Formação Docente em Educação Profissional do Mestrado Acadêmico em Educação Profissional do Instituto Federal de Educação, Ciência e Tecnologia do Rio Grande do Norte (IFRN). Como técnica de coleta de dados utilizamos a entrevista semi-estruturada, composta de 04 (quatro) questões do tipo aberta aplicada a 06 seis professores técnicos da área de saúde. Em seguida, fizemos as transcrições de suas falas para a análise de suas percepções acerca da relação teoria e prática no contexto do processo de ensino-aprendizagem em sala de aula. Para o embasamento teórico, buscamos autores como Moura, (2008), Kuenzer (2008) Moll (2010). O objetivo desta pesquisa foi identificar a percepção do docente em relação à teoria e prática em sala de aula nos cursos técnicos de enfermagem, Radiologia e Analises Clínicas. No sentido de trazer reflexões acerca desta temática, perguntamo-nos como ocorre a relação teoria e prática na docência da Educação Profissional?. - Na sua percepção, como se dá a relação teoria e prática no processo de ensino e aprendizagem?. Existem elementos nas matrizes curriculares dos cursos, técnico de Enfermagem, Radiologia e Análises Clínicas onde você atua, que fazem a interconexão entre teoria e prática? Que experiências, você, como docente, desenvolve com seus estudantes para concretizar a articulação entre teoria e prática?. Por fim, fizemos a análise das transcrições e percebemos como resultado que a maioria dos entrevistados acreditam que a relação teoria e prática na formação docente na educação profissional são essenciais e que a prática depende da teoria, bem como a teoria depende da prática

Global terrorism is a complex phenomenon, its roots going back to long before the terrorist attacks of 9/11, while its sequels are opening new paths in the fields of both fiction and literary and cultural studies. To better understand some of the global processes, and how they are represented in contemporary literature, I proposed the expression glocalization novels as a theoretical construct that permits the incorporation of the narrative’s differential characteristics about terrorism in a globalized society. In Burnt Shadows by Kamila Shamsie, the notion of glocalization appears articulating general tendencies with global impact (the Nuclear Bomb, the Cold War, North American neo-colonialism in Southeast Asia, global terrorism, etc.) join with a direct impact on local lives that restructures and transmutes the meanings of individual or social actions. Fictions by intertwining the specific with the global help us to gain a more indepth understanding of the global and its local complexity.
Beat women poets and writers: countercultural urban geographies and feminist avant-garde poetics
Authors: Castelao-Gómez Isabel
Published: June 2017

The work of Beat women poets and their contribution to the Beat canon was neglected for decades until the late nineties. This study presents a critical appreciation of early Beat women poets and writers’ impact on contemporary US literature drawing from theoretical tools provided by feminist literary and poetry criticism and gender studies on geography. The aim is to situate this female literary community, in specific the one of late 1950s and 1960s in New York, within the Beat generation and to analyze the characteristics of their cultural and literary phenomena, highlighting two of their most important contributions from the point of view of gender, cultural and literary studies: their negotiation of urban geographies and city space as bohemian women and writers, and their revision of Beat aesthetics through a feminist avant-garde poetics.

Authors: Nirattisai Supika , Palanukulwong Thanyapa
Published: June 2017

The main objective was to explore the reliability and validity of the bilingual English-Thai version of the vocabulary size test adapted based on Nation and Beglar (2007). The findings indicate that (1) the test is reliable; it produced consistent and stable results, (2) the test is valid; it well measures subjects’ vocabulary size, (3) the words in each level are quite organized; the scores generally decline from the beginning level which is the easiest one (1st 1000 word level) to the highest level which is the most difficult one (14th 1000 word level), and (4) the test result shows that only 14 word levels are not sufficient to access the subjects’ total vocabulary size; the test should contain more word levels. In all, the bilingual English-Thai version of the vocabulary size test is a reliable and valid measure of Thai students’ vocabulary size.

Quantum Cosmology vs. Observational Cosmology (A Simple, Curious and Advanced Approach)
Authors: Seshavatharam U. V. S. , Lakshminarayana S.
Published: June 2017

With reference to Planck scale Hubble parameter, super luminal expansion speeds, super luminal rotation speeds and Mach’s principle, we review the current cosmological observations. With our revised assumptions, it is possible to show that, at H0 =70 km/sec/Mpc, current cosmic temperature, age, radius, mass, mass density and rotational kinetic energy are 2.721 K, 4.41 x 1017 sec, 90 billion light years, 1.14654 x 1054 kg, 0.0482 times the current critical density and 0.6667 times the current critical energy density respectively. Based on the estimated current mass density and current rotational kinetic energy density, current cosmic dark matter density can be shown to be 0.2851 times the current critical density. Initial and current expansion speeds are 3 x 108 m/sec and 3.56 x 109 m/sec respectively. Proceeding further, we developed two interesting methods for understanding cosmic scale factor with reference to a temperature of 3000 K, redshift of 1100 and age of 3,69,000 years. Finally we would like to suggest that, with increasing cosmic age and increasing cosmic expansion speed, current universe is expanding with a speed of 11.885c. Magnitude of the future cosmic expansion speed depends on the magnitude of the future Hubble parameter. By knowing the time to time future cosmic temperatures, corresponding future Hubble parameters can be estimated and corresponding future cosmic expansion speeds can also be estimated.Proceeding further, a unified model of evolving quantum cosmology can be developed.

With reference to Planck scale Hubble parameter, super luminal expansion speeds, super luminal rotation speeds, Mach’s principle and Holographic principle, we review the current cosmological observations with eight simple assumptions. By understanding Yuri N. Obukhov and V.A. Korotky proposed cosmic rotational effects of polarization of radiation due to massive bodies, to some extent cosmic rotation can be deep-rooted in an observational approach and the ratio of current angular velocity and Hubble parameter can be estimated. It is possible to show that, at H0 =70 km/sec/Mpc, current cosmic temperature, age, radius, mass, mass density are 2.721 K, 4.41x1017 sec, 90 billion light years, 1.14654x1054 kg, 0.0482 times the current critical density respectively. Clearly speaking, current universe seems to constitute 267 Hubble spheres. Important point to be noted is that, current rotational kinetic energy is 0.6667 times the current critical energy. Based on the estimated current mass density and current rotational kinetic energy, current cosmic dark matter density can be shown to be 0.2851 times the current critical density. These numerical coincidences cast serious doubt on the on the real existence of currently believed ‘dark energy’. Initial and current expansion speeds are 3x108 m/sec and 3.56x109 m/sec respectively. With increasing cosmic age and increasing cosmic expansion speed, current universe is expanding with a speed of 11.885c. By knowing the time to time future cosmic temperatures, future Hubble parameters and corresponding future cosmic expansion speeds can be estimated and thus future expansion speed can be understood. Starting from ‘speed of light’, our model assumes a continuous increase in expansion speed and attains a current radius of 90 billion light years (without inflationary concepts) and casts a serious doubt on the actuality of currently believed ‘inflation’.
Computational Investigation on Various Small Array Dispositions of Generic Points Absorbers
Authors: Baños Hernandez Lorenzo
Published: June 2017

This thesis completion works it out to deepen into diverse modeling techniques for Point Absorbers. A combined frequency-time domain model is conceived, designed and developed in Matlab with FoRtran as a base., leading to obtain physical variables of primary importance, namely position, velocity and power to Energy net balance relationships of absorption. Integration of different degrees of freedom with heave as main executable leads in turn to a single buoy motion focus. Acquisition of the needed hydrodynamic coefficients is provided though application of NEMOH & BEMIO solvers due to the Boundary Element Methodology. Initially, this Wave-to-motion model is validated through comparison with previous experimental results for a floating cone cylinder shape (Buldra-FO3). A single, generic, vertical floating cylinder is contemplated then, that responds to the action of the passing regular waves excitation. Later, two equally sized vertical floating cylinders aligned with the incident wave direction are modeled for a variable distance between the bodies. For both unidirectional regular and irregular waves as an input in deep water, we approximate the convolutive radiation force function term through the Prony method. By changing the spatial disposition of the axisymmetric buoys, using for instance triangular or rectangular shaped arrays of three and four bodies respectively, the study delves into motion characteristics for regular waves. The results highlight efficient layouts for maximizing the energy production whilst providing important insights into their performance, revealing displacement amplification- and capture width-ratios, while deriving in possible interpretations of scenarios related to the the known park effect. These terms are encompassed by the novelty of a new conceptual Post-Processing methodology in the field, which leads to obtain an optimal distance for the separated bodies with effective energy absorption in a regular wave regime. In conclusion, this computational excursion envisions and proposes potentials fields of study, which will surely enhance new connections and link this renewable energy form.
Introducing Sustainability in Value Models to Support Design Decision Making: A Systematic Review
Authors: Bertoni Marco
Published: June 2017

Manufacturing organizations shall recognize sustainability as a business occasion to capitalize on, rather than an undesirable pressing situation. Still, empirical evidence shows that this opportunity is hard to capture and communicate in global strategic decisions, through planning by tactical management, to daily operational activities. This paper systematically reviews the modeling challenges at the crossroad of value and sustainability decisions making, spotlighting methods and tools proposed in literature to link sustainability to customer value creation at strategic, tactical and operational level. While statistical results show that the topic of sustainability and value modeling is trending in literature, findings from content analysis reveal that recent attempts to promote a value-based view in the sustainability discussion remain at a strategic level, with most of the proposed indicators being suited for managerial decision-making. The lack of support at operational level points to the opportunity of cross-pollinating sustainability research with value-centered methodologies originating from the aerospace sector. The Value Driven Design framework is proposed as main hub from which to derive models supporting engineers and technology developers in the identification of win-win-win situations, where sustainable improvements are aligned with business advantages.
Comparative Study on Antistaphylococcal Activity of Lipopeptides in Various Culture Media
Authors: Jaśkiewicz Maciej , Neubauer Damian , Kamysz Wojciech
Published: June 2017

Staphylococcus aureus bacteria are one of the leading microorganisms responsible for nosocomial infections as well as being the primary causative pathogen of skin and wound infections. Currently, the therapy of staphylococcal diseases faces many difficulties, due to a variety of mechanisms of resistance and virulence factors. Moreover, a number of infections caused by S. aureus is connected with biofilm formation that impairs effectiveness of the therapy. Short cationic lipopeptides that are designed on the basis of the structure of antimicrobial peptides structure are likely to provide a promising alternative to conventional antibiotics. Despite the fact that many research groups have proved a high antistaphylococcal potential of lipopeptides, the lack of unified protocols in determination of antimicrobial activity may be the reason of inconsistency of the results. The aim of this study was to learn how the use of various bacteriological media as well as solvents may affect activity of lipopeptides and their cyclic analogs.
Pathology of Adult and Paediatric Mitochondrial Myopathies
Authors: Phadke Rahul
Published: June 2017

Mitochondria are dynamic organelles ubiquitously present in nucleated eukaryotic cells, subserving multiple metabolic functions, including cellular ATP generation by oxidative phosphorylation (OXPHOS). The OXPHOS machinery comprises five transmembrane respiratory chain enzyme complexes (RC). Defective OXPHOS gives rise to mitochondrial diseases (mtD). The incredible phenotypic and genetic diversity of mtD can be attributed at least in part to the RC dual genetic control (nuclear DNA [nDNA] and mitochondrial DNA [mtDNA]) and the complex interaction between the two genomes. Despite the increasing use of next-generation-sequencing (NGS) and various -omics platforms in unraveling novel mtD genes and pathomechanisms, current clinical practice for investigating mtD essentially involves a multipronged approach including clinical assessment, metabolic screening, imaging, pathological, biochemical and functional testing to guide molecular genetic analysis. This review addresses the broad muscle pathology landscape including genotype-phenotype correlations in adult and paediatric mtD, the role of immunodiagnostics in understanding some of the pathomechanisms underpinning the canonical features of mtD, and recent diagnostic advances in the field.
