‘Tu te décolonises’: Comics re-framings of the Breton Liberation Front (FLB)
Authors: Blin-Rolland Armelle
Published: July 2019

The aim of this article is to posit the productivity of examining the relationship between Brittany and comics, as a case study for developing not only the diversity of bande dessinée and comics scholarship, but also an intermedial understanding of minoritized stateless cultures. It focuses in particular on the role comics can play in political expressions in minoritized stateless cultures and nations. This is explored through the prism of two comics re-framings of the Breton Liberation Front (FLB), an underground independentist movement that was particularly active in the 1960s and 1970s. The article analyses Alain Goutal’s 1980 ‘Instantanés d’une sinistre farce’ as a piece of comics journalism that redraws the October 1980 FLB trial as a performance of Brittany–France relations, and Stéphane Heurteau’s 2013 Sant-Fieg as a postcolonial comic that explicitly addresses the status of Algeria as a key reference for the Breton militants that fought for ‘internal decolonization’. Through these two comics, the article maps out moments in ‘Breton bande dessinée’ and explores the question of how a comic can be ‘Breton’ when it is written in French, paying attention in particular to the absence/presence of the minoritized language in both ‘Instantanés’ and Sant-Fieg.
Graphic Wales: Exploring identity, landscape and language in Carol Swain’s Gast
Authors: Vernon Alice
Published: July 2019

The graphic novels of Carol Swain frequently take rural Wales as their setting. Her most recent publication in 2014, Gast, continues her preoccupation with an isolated Welsh community. It explores aspects of liminality and fluidity, of blurred boundaries, both in terms of identity and of language. This article discusses the ways in which Swain represents and intertwines the landscape and language of Wales in order to demonstrate the child protagonist’s absorption into rural life. This article will consist of three parts. First, it introduces the work of Carol Swain and provides a brief summary of Gast that will help to contextualize some of my analysis. It will then discuss Swain’s mix of the Welsh and English language, and how language is used both to establish identities and confuse them. Gast is a graphic novel of intense silences, but when words are spoken they have an almost poetic weight to them, and this section will discuss the importance of conversations in the story. Finally, this article looks to the landscape of Gast to demonstrate how the isolation of the community is reflected in the sprawling countryside, but also how the protagonist comes to explore and understand the sparseness of her surroundings. By comparing Gast to the canon of Welsh writing in English, such as Brenda Chamberlain’s Tide-Race ([1962] 2007) and Cynan Jones’ The Long Dry in 2006, and to the recent S4C/BBC Wales drama, Hinterland (2013), this article aims to situate Swain’s text alongside the fiction that reflects a realistic image of the Welsh identity.
Good grief, Comrade Brown! Woody Guthrie, Charles Schulz and the little cartoon book that was a big lie
Authors: Shannon Edward A.
Published: July 2019

This article focuses on American folksinger Woody Guthrie’s unpublished and little-known response to anti-communist propaganda comic book Is This Tomorrow: America Under Communism (1947). Largely forgotten today, Is This Tomorrow was hugely successful, with millions of copies in circulation. Its tangled history reveals ideological conflicts with its publisher’s advocacy of comic book censorship. Is This Tomorrow also features early comics work by cartoonist Charles Schulz (years before beginning his comic strip, Peanuts). By happenstance, Guthrie’s only substantial comment on comic books is also his only (albeit unknowing) comment on fellow iconic popular artist Charles Schulz. The article discusses Guthrie’s career as a songwriter, political activist and cartoonist, and reads Is This Tomorrow (and Guthrie’s response) in the context of an emerging national discourse on comics as a political medium in an era rife with both anti-comic book and anti-Communist hysteria. Guthrie was a Communist sympathizer, careful reader, radical cultural worker and a creature of the media. His attacks on Is This Tomorrow never become a condemnation of comics as a whole, as was common at the time. He even reveals a respect for the comic book form. The intersection of Guthrie and Schulz’s worlds offers unique insight into the waning days of Woody Guthrie’s career and a window into the beginnings of comics censorship that culminated in 1954s repressive Comics Code Authority in the United States.
Intellectual property management at the National Animal Science Research Institute in India: A case study
Authors: Chandrasekharan C. Chithra , Jiji R. S.
Published: July 2019

Background and Aim: The National Institute of Veterinary Epidemiology and Disease Informatics is an animal science research institute under the aegis of the Indian Council of Agricultural Research. The intellectual property management system (IPMS) of the institute oversees technology creation, protection, and transfer/commercialization. This study reviews the effectiveness of the IPMS using traditional strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats (SWOT) evaluation.

Materials and Methods: A comprehensive repository was developed to compile the SWOT pertaining to the IPMS based on relevant document reviews and the inputs of experts and stakeholders. The repository was shared among scientists of the institute for rating. The rating process revealed the top ten key SWOT associated with the structure and operation of the IPMS. The weighted SWOT matrix technique was used to identify the best strategies to improve and develop the IPMS further. This included strategies derived from the best combinations of key strengths and opportunities (S-O strategies), key weaknesses and opportunities (W-O strategies), key strengths and threats (S-T strategies), and key weaknesses and threats (W-T strategies).

Results: The top-ranked strengths included "possession of patented technology" and "state-of-the-art biosafety laboratory facilities," while "lack of in-house faculty with legal expertise in intellectual property rights (IPR)"" and "lack of technology incubation facilities" were the key weaknesses. The key opportunities included "external funding for research projects" and "market demand for onsite diagnostic tools." The major threats were "lack of market for veterinary diagnostics" and "broadbased patents on research tools and technologies."

Conclusion: The strengths of the system, such as a state-of-the-art biosafety laboratory and technology-marketing collaboration with Agrinnovate India Ltd., could be employed effectively to gain from the opportunities tendered by the market demand for on-site disease diagnostic tools (S-O strategies). The limitation arising from a dearth of technical staff could be overcome by technological backstopping through international linkages in the area of disease monitoring and surveillance. Funding from externally supported projects could also be utilized for recruitment of personnel (W-O strategies). Limitations arising from the combination of inadequate in-house IPR expertise and the threat arising from broadbased patents on research tools warrant vigilance (W-T strategies).

Published: July 2019

Psychological complications appear to be significant disorders which need prolonged recovery period. They cause disability and impose hospitalized costs on patients. This systematic review was aimed to investigate the effectiveness of medicinal herbs on psychological indices in patients undergoing surgeries. The keywords such as anxiety, depression, aggressive, impulsive, stress, delirium and cognitive in combination with surgery and medicinal plants search terms such as medicinal plant or phyto or herb were used to search for relevant publications indexed in the Institute for Scientific Information (ISI), Scopus and PubMed using EndNote software. A total of 1231 studies with mentioned keywords were added to the bank of the study and after considering inclusion and exclusion criteria, 36 human studies were reviewed. Some medicinal plants such as Passiflora incarnata L., Valeriana officinalis L., Melissa officinalis L., Crocus sativus L., and Rosa damascena Mill. and some herbal formulas like Hochu-ekki-to and Yokukansan and also some phytochemicals such as ?-6 PUFA and Gastrodin reduce the psychological symptoms in several ways in the patients undergoing operation. Most of the clinical studies were carried out on aromatherapy and the others were based on oral administration. Taken together, using medicinal herbs in medical settings before and after surgery is an effective alternative way for alleviating some psychological disorders such as anxiety, depression, aggressive and impulsive behavior, stress, delirium and cognitive dysfunction. However, the surgeons and anesthesiologists must be aware of their interaction and possible complications.
The Role of Energy in a Real Business Cycle Model with an Endogenous Capital Utilization Rate in a Government Sector: Lessons from Bulgaria (1999–2016)
Authors: Vasilev Aleksandar
Published: July 2019

We introduce a pro-cyclical endogenous utilization rate of physical capital stock into a real business cycle model augmented with a government sector in detail. We calibrate the model to Bulgarian data for the period following the introduction of the currency board arrangement (1999–2016). We investigate the quantitative importance of the endogenous depreciation rate and the capital utilization mechanism working through the use of energy for cyclical fluctuations in Bulgaria. In particular, a positive shock to energy prices in the model works like a negative technological shock. Allowing for variations in factor utilization and the presence of energy as a factor of production improves the model performance against data, and in addition this extended setup dominates the standard RBC model framework with constant depreciation and a fixed utilization rate of physical capital (e.g., Vasilev (2009)).
Cyclical Fluctuations in the Banking Services Market and the Changes in the Situation of Entities from the Financial Services Sector
Authors: Skikiewicz Robert , Garczarczyk Józef
Published: July 2019

Section K of the services sector includes entities conducting financial and insurance activities and, among others, banks. Fluctuations in the whole economy and its individual sectors’ situation are interrelated; hence, one may also expect similarities of cyclical fluctuations in the banking sector and in the entire financial sector. The analyses in the article concern the connections between the cyclical fluctuations on the banking services market and in the entire K section of the services sector, grouping entities conducting financial and insurance activities in Poland. The analyses proved that changes in the economic situation appear earlier in the banking sector than in section K of the services sector. The time range of analyses covered the period from the first quarter of 2003 to the first quarter of 2018. Conclusions on relationships were formulated on the basis of cross-correlation analysis and the analysis of the turning points in the time series of variables describing the cyclical fluctuations in the banking market and in the K section of the services sector.
Comparison of the method of variation of parameters to semi-analytical methods for solving nonlinear boundary value problems in engineering
Authors: Moore Travis J. , Ertürk Vedat S.
Published: July 2019

Solutions to nonlinear boundary value problems modelling physical phenomena in engineering applications have traditionally been approximated using numerical methods. More recently, several semi-analytical methods have been developed and used extensively in diverse engineering applications. This work compares the method of variation of parameters to semi-analytical methods for solving nonlinear boundary value problems arising in engineering. The accuracy and efficiency of the method of variation of parameters are compared to those of two widely used semi-analytical methods, the Adomian decomposition method and the differential transformation method, for three practical engineering boundary value problems: (1) the deflection of a cantilevered beam with a concentrated load, (2) an adiabatic tubular chemical reactor which processes an irreversible exothermal reaction, and (3) the electrohydrodynamic flow of a fluid in an ion drag configuration in a circular cylinder conduit. The accuracy and convergence of each method is investigated using the error remainder function. The method of variation of parameters is significantly more efficient than both the semi-analytical methods and traditional numerical methods while maintaining comparable accuracy. Unlike the semi-analytical methods, the efficiency of variation of parameters is independent of the nonlinearity. Variation of parameters is shown to be an attractive alternative to semi-analytical methods and traditional numerical methods for solving boundary value problems encountered in engineering applications in which solution efficiency is important.
Nanocalcined Clay and Nanolime as Stabilizing Agents for Expansive Clayey Soil: Some Geotechnical Properties
Authors: al-Swaidani Aref M. , Hammoud Ibrahim , al-Ghuraibi Ibrahim , Mezyab Ayman
Published: July 2019

Expansive clayey soils cover wide areas in Syria. Their undesirable properties have caused serious damage to infrastructure. Many attempts have been made to stabilize the expansive clayey soils, most common of which was the use of lime. No detailed work on using calcined expansive clay as a soil stabilizing agent was found in the literature. The objective of this article is to investigate the effect of nanocalcined clay and nanolime on some geotechnical properties of the expansive clayey soil. Three expansive clayey soil specimens quarried from three different sites in the south of Syria have been investigated. They were thermally treated at three different levels (450°C, 650°C, and 850°C) for 3 h. Then, they were ground to have a particle size of less than 100 nm. Three replacement levels of nanocalcined clay were used, i.e., 0, 1, and 2 %. The X-ray diffractometer technique was employed to detect the crystalline and glassy phases in the clayey samples before and after the thermal treatment. Pozzolanic activity of the thermally treated clayey soil was studied using the modified Chapelle test at each of the temperature levels. Atterberg limits, compaction, free swell, swelling pressure, linear shrinkage, and shear strength have particularly been investigated. Test results revealed the positive effect of nanocalcined clay when added to the original soil. Plasticity index was reduced by more than 50 % when 2 % nanocalcined clay was added to the original soil. In addition, 0.6 % nanolime has been added to further investigate the combined effect of nanolime and nanocalcined clay on the properties of the clayey soil. All investigated properties have significantly been improved when nanocalcined clay and nanolime were added together, i.e., swelling pressure and linear shrinkage values were reduced to less than 15 % when compared with those of the original soil.
Thermal Performance of Single Glazing Flat Plate Photovoltaic Thermal Hybrid System with Various Air Channels
Authors: Srimanickam B. , Saranya A.
Published: July 2019

The present study attempts to investigate the thermal performance of five types of mild steel air channels in the photovoltaic thermal hybrid system. This system has been designed, fabricated, and tested in the tropical climatic condition of Chennai, India. There are five kinds of air channels studied in this work, namely, reference air channel, single-fin channel, multifin channel, fin with T baffle channel, and fin with V baffle channel. These channels are studied and compared. The experiments were accomplished with two mass flow rates, m˙: 0.00565 and 0.00847 kg/s. The photovoltaic thermal hybrid system performance was enhanced by increased air velocity, enhanced heat transfer between the absorber surface and air, and physical geometry of the channel. This optimal performance has been attained in the present study, with strong agreement with previously published findings. The photovoltaic thermal hybrid system experimentally proved to enhance thermal and photovoltaic efficiencies with increasing air mass flow rate, and the maximum electrical efficiency was found to be 13.70 % at the mass flow rate of 0.00565 kg/s and 14.27 % at the mass flow rate of 0.00847 kg/s; similarly, the thermal efficiency was 14.12 % at m˙ = 0.00565 kg/s and 20.81 % at m˙ = 0.00847 kg/s.

Published: July 2019

Slurry seals are a hard wearing surface for pavement preservation. The main purpose of this study is to investigate the effects of nanomaterials and styrene butadiene rubber (SBR) latex on fatigue and rutting performance, wet cohesion properties, abrasive performance, and raveling resistance of the fiber-reinforced slurry seal. Firstly, the optimal slurry seal composition was determined under the effect of SBR polymer and synergistic nanomaterials. Results showed that simultaneous addition of nanolime and nanoclay significantly improves the fatigue life and rutting resistance of slurry seal mixtures. In addition, the simultaneous addition of nanomaterials reduces the amount of abrasion by about 63 % and significantly enhances the resistance of a slurry seal mixture. Moreover, the combination of nanomaterials, in particular, nanoclay, with 4 % modified asphalt binder, increases the raveling resistance and ultimately improves the friction resistance of the slurry seal. Finally, after comparing the performance of different mixtures, the slurry seal modified with polyester fiber with 8 % asphalt binder emulsion containing 6 % latex, 3 % nanoclay, and 3 % nanolime was determined as the optimum mixture. The analysis of variance showed that the nanomaterials have a significant effect on the fatigue and rutting properties, adhesion and cohesion resistance and abrasion performance of slurry seal at the confidence level of 95 %.
A Study of Photon Interaction with Phantom Material Made of Rhizophora Spp. Binderless Particleboard in the Energy Range 59.54–356 keV
Authors: Marashdeh Mohammad W.
Published: July 2019

The linear and mass attenuation coefficients of raw Rhizophora spp. wood, binderless particleboard, and Perspex were measured at gamma ray energies of 59.54, 88.0, and 356 keV. Americium-241, cadmium-109, and barium-133 point sources were used to produce gamma rays in this work. Results were compared with the theoretical values of water calculated using the XCOM program. The mass attenuation coefficients of binderless particleboard and water showed good agreement, with discrepancies of approximately 0.1, 0.6, and 0.1% at 59.54, 88.0, and 356 keV, respectively. The measurements of raw Rhizophora spp. wood and water had discrepancies of 0.7, 0.9, and 0.8% at 59.54, 88.0, and 356 keV, respectively, and those of Perspex and water had discrepancies of 0.3, 0.9, and 0.2% at the same photon energies. Moreover, Rhizophora spp. binderless particleboard was compared with water in terms of effective atomic number (Zeff), and a close match was noticed. In addition, the half-value layers of the experimental samples were measured at 59.54, 88.0, and 356 keV. The calculated values of water and the experimental results of binderless particleboard were in good agreement, indicating that binderless particleboard can be used as a phantom material in the range of photon energy 59.54–356 keV.

Published: July 2019

Femoral stem fractures in total hip arthroplasty (THA) are a problem in clinical practice that results in great morbidity and high cost of revision hip surgery. Stem fractures are multifactorial events that are usually related to a combination of factors that increase the mechanical stress on the stem or decrease the mechanical strength of the implant. Failure analyses of hip prosthesis have identified that the presence of inadequate grain size may lead to implant failure. The aim of this article is to develop a rational to set specific sites to perform grain size measurements along stems used in THA as well as appropriate procedures to evaluate the heterogeneity of the microstructure related to the grain size distribution. In the present study, nonmodular femoral stems from three manufacturers with different wrought materials were chosen: stainless steel ISO 5832-1 (Manufacturer I), high nitrogen stainless steel ISO 5832-9 (Manufacturer II), and cobalt-chromium-molybdenum alloy ISO 5832-12 (Manufacturer III). The results of this study showed a great variability of grain size number depending on the cross section and fields evaluated. Therefore, the current technical standards for evaluating THA stems need to be modified. Analyses of grain sizes at different cross sections and inside each cross section of the stem is necessary to ensure the safety of hip stems.
A Statistically Rigorous Fatigue Strength Analysis Approach Applied to Medical Devices
Authors: Falk Wayne M.
Published: July 2019

Statistical fatigue models are often constructed in one of two ways: (1) life construction, where fatigue life is a function of fatigue amplitude, or (2) strength construction, where fatigue strength is a function of life. Life construction is most common. Strength construction is slightly more complex to implement rigorously but gives a direct measure of the fatigue strength variability and has known benefits for goodness of fit. For general strength constructions with constant variability in fatigue strength, we derive a normalized distribution, which can be fit to any fatigue data set. The resulting construction is applicable to many fatigue ε-N functions that can be written in terms of strength, such as the Coffin-Manson equation. Maximum likelihood techniques are used to apply the construction to the fatigue of high-performance materials, such as superelastic nitinol, throughout the range considered in the design of implantable cardiovascular medical devices. The performance is compared to existing constructions and shown to have quantitative advantages in terms of goodness of fit. This approach is a statistically rigorous strength construction. The method can provide a valuable tool for medical device design.
A New Approach for Fatigue-to-Fracture Testing of Coronary Stents
Authors: Frotscher Matthias , Jackstien Martin , Conti Chris , Strope Elaine R. , Conti James C.
Published: July 2019

The new ASTM F3211, Standard Guide for Fatigue-to-Fracture (FtF) Methodology for Cardiovascular Medical Devices, has recently been published, outlining the need for testing a device beyond physiological loading conditions. Fatigue-to-fracture is an engineering technique that allows for the prediction of failure mode, location of failure sites, and expected lifetime without the need to do long-term testing. Clinical stent fractures have been reported, and the FtF methodology helps us to understand and optimize a stent design and to assess the influence of material and process variations in an iterative approach combined with finite element analysis. Fatigue-to-fracture testing of superelastic Nitinol can be performed relatively easily because hyperphysiological loading will not cause imminent failure. However, conventional coronary stent materials such as cobalt-chromium alloys, usually being tested under radial physiological loading, are posing a challenge. If larger deformations are applied, samples will be deformed permanently in the initial load cycles and, in the case of radial loading, a constant deformation history over useful test durations is difficult to achieve. In this work, a fatigue durability tester capable of delivering testing pressure up to 2,500 mmHg at pulse frequencies up to 60 Hz was developed, allowing for hyperphysiologic loading of implanted, coronary stents. With this instrument, the adjustable variable could be magnitude of pulsatile pressure, or device deflection. Various sample preparation techniques were evaluated to force the stents to large cyclic radial deformations without compromising initial structural integrity. The most promising approach was found to be the embedding of implanted stents with a very thin silicone layer. This allows for isolating the loading to expansion only, compression only, or both expansion and compression per cycle. A high-speed camera and tracking software were used to monitor deflections at predetermined locations within the stent design to match finite element analysis models and simulation to achieve the desired loading history.

A fines del siglo pasado, jóvenes indígenas de Chiapas, apoyados por antropólogos, sociólogos y cineastas, empezaron a videograbar a sus comunidades. Al paso del tiempo, un grupo de 37 personas, entre las que se encuentran 12 mujeres, se dedican a la realización de documentales. Su propósito es construir la memoria colectiva de comunidades indígenas y posicionar en la agenda mediática las necesidades y prácticas culturales de esas poblaciones, que representan casi un tercio de los habitantes en Chiapas. Este trabajo, en el que participaron siete documentalistas que pertenecen a las cuatro etnias principales (tzotzil, tzeltal, zoque y tojolabal), profundiza en las prácticas colaborativas, que han diseñado y aprendido sobre la marcha, para desarrollar sus productos audiovisuales.
El nuevo gobierno de izquierda y el cambio del modelo de comunicación en México
Authors: Esteinou Javier
Published: July 2019

Con el fin de alcanzar los objetivos planteados en el proyecto de la Cuarta Transformación Histórica el gobierno de Andrés Manuel López Obrador y del frente político de Morena expusieron la necesidad de crear otro modelo de comunicación social que se convierta en un parteaguas que sepulte el tradicional prototipo de difusión de control político. Dicho prototipo comunicativo permitirá informar de forma directa, constante y ágil a la población sobre las políticas públicas adoptadas por el novel gobierno para cumplir con el derecho a la información y crear una opinión pública favorable que le sirva de respaldo subjetivo para gobernar eficazmente.En este sentido, el nuevo modelo de comunicación de la Cuarta Transformación está compuesto por dos grandes niveles de acción comunicativa que abarcan: por un lado, una fase indirecta de comunicación; y por otro lado, una fase directa de comunicación que en conjunto se convierten en la fuerza político-cultural que cotidianamente le imprimen la dirección colectiva de naturaleza cognitivo-psíquico-ideológico-emocional a la nación.Sin embargo, la definición de los relevantes lineamientos constitutivos del proyecto de comu-nicación, es fundamental destacar que ante los grandes desafíos de desarrollo estructural que se deben resolver en México con el fin de edificar otra nación en el siglo XXI, es indispensable que la sociedad reconstruya los procesos democráticos de comunicación para que el proceso de cambio de la nación se realice de manera equilibrada y no sesgada o viciada. Dentro de este escenario, las escuelas de comunicación del país tienen una responsabilidad e importancia central para analizar si lo que se realiza a través de la ejecución del nuevo paradigma de comunicación de la Cuarta Transformación es para crear democracia, pluralidad y libertad de expresión o es para construir centralismo, autoritarismo y Presidencia Imperial.

Infectious pancreatic necrosis (IPN) is a viral disease with considerable negative impact on the rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss) aquaculture industry. The aim of the present work was to detect genomic regions that explain resistance to infectious pancreatic necrosis virus (IPNV) in rainbow trout. A total of 2,278 fish from 58 full-sib families were challenged with IPNV and 768 individuals were genotyped (488 resistant and 280 susceptible), using a 57K SNP panel Axiom, Affymetrix. A genome-wide association study (GWAS) was performed using the phenotypes time to death (TD) and binary survival (BS), along with the genotypes of the challenged fish using a Bayesian model (Bayes C). Heritabilities for resistance to IPNV estimated using genomic information, were 0.53 and 0.82 for TD and BS, respectively. The Bayesian GWAS detected a SNP located on chromosome 5 explaining 19% of the genetic variance for TD. The proximity of Sentrin-specific protease 5 (SENP5) to this SNP makes it a candidate gene for resistance against IPNV. In case of BS, a SNP located on chromosome 23 was detected explaining 9% of the genetic variance. However, the moderate-low proportion of variance explained by the detected marker leads to the conclusion that the incorporation of all genomic information, through genomic selection, would be the most appropriate approach to accelerate genetic progress for the improvement of resistance against IPNV in rainbow trout.
Cyfip1 Haploinsufficiency Increases Compulsive-Like Behavior and Modulates Palatable Food Intake in Mice: Dependence on Cyfip2 Genetic Background, Parent-of Origin, and Sex

Binge eating (BE) is a heritable trait associated with eating disorders and involves episodes of rapid, large amounts of food consumption. We previously identified cytoplasmic FMR1-interacting protein 2 (Cyfip2) as a genetic factor underlying compulsive-like BE in mice. CYFIP2 is a homolog of CYFIP1 which is one of four paternally-deleted genes in patients with Type I Prader-Willi Syndrome (PWS), a neurodevelopmental disorder whereby 70% of cases involve paternal 15q11-q13 deletion. PWS symptoms include hyperphagia, obesity (if untreated), cognitive deficits, and obsessive-compulsive behaviors. We tested whether Cyfip1 haploinsufficiency (+/−) would enhance compulsive-like behavior and palatable food (PF) intake in a parental origin- and sex-dependent manner on two Cyfip2 genetic backgrounds, including the BE-prone C57BL/6N (Cyfip2N/N) background and the BE-resistant C57BL/6J (Cyfip2J/J) background. Cyfip1+/− mice showed increased compulsive-like behavior on both backgrounds and increased PF intake on the Cyfip2N/N background. In contrast, maternal Cyfip1 haploinsufficiency on the BE-resistant Cyfip2J/J background induced a robust escalation in PF intake in wild-type Cyfip1J/J males while having no effect in Cyfip1J/- males. Notably, induction of behavioral phenotypes in wild-type males following maternal Fmr1+/− has previously been reported. In the hypothalamus, there was a paternally-enhanced reduction in CYFIP1 protein whereas in the nucleus accumbens, there was a maternally-enhanced reduction in CYFIP1 protein. Nochange in FMR1 protein (FMRP) was observed in Cyfip1+/− mice, regardless of parental origin. To summarize, Cyfip1 haploinsufficiency increased compulsive-like behavior and induced genetic background-dependent, sex-dependent, and parent-of-origin-dependent effects on PF consumption and CYFIP1 expression that could have relevance for neurodevelopmental and neuropsychiatric disorders.
