Polyphase Laramide Structures and Possible Folded Tertiary(?) Sills at Dagger mountain, Big Bend National Park, Texas
Authors: Cullen Jeff , Knox Nathan , Crouch Jacob , Satterfield Joseph
Published: May 2024

Dagger Mountain, in Sierra del Carmen within Big Bend National Park, Texas, is a 5 km-long, doubly-plunging, southwest-vergent anticline adjacent to a doubly plunging syncline. Dagger Mountain lies near the eastern margins of the Cordilleran orogen and the Basin and Range province. Mapping at 1:12,000 scale reveals details about three phases of Laramide and Basin and Range structures. Mapping and descriptive structural analysis complement previous mapping at 1:12,000 – 1:75,000 scales (Poth, 1979; Moustafa, 1988; Cooper and others, 2011; Turner and others, 2011; Maxwell and others, 1967). Four distinctive formations of Cretaceous age crop out on Dagger Mountain: Santa Elena Limestone, Del Rio Clay, Buda Limestone, and Boquillas Formation. At least two phaneritic, mafic, feldpathoid-rich sills intrude the Boquillas Formation. A similar, possibly correlative sill south of Dagger Mountain is dated at 32.47 ± 0.41 Ma ( 40Ar/39 Ar on groundmass; Morgan and Shanks, 2008). One well-exposed Dagger Mountain sill can be traced from one map-scale fold limb, through the hinge, and into the other limb. The Dagger Mountain anticline is a first-phase (D1) fold. D1 map- and outcrop-scale folds contain subvertical NNW-striking axial planes and subhorizontal fold axes. Second-phase (D2) folds produced NNW and SSE plunges of the DM anticline. D2 map- and outcrop-scale folds display subvertical NE-striking axial planes and subhorizontal fold axes. Third-phase (D3) high-angle faults strike NNW and NW and cross-cut D1 folds and Tertiary sills. Drag during D3 faulting produced D3 folds. Dagger Mountain structures are significant because: a) few polyphase folds have been documented in the Big Bend region, b) the west-verging Dagger Mountain anticline and other D1 folds show fault-propagation fold characteristics, c) the apparently folded Tertiary(?) sill suggests that Laramide deformation at Dagger Mountain is post-32 Ma and unusually recent. Alternatively, the sill could be as old as Cretaceous, or the sill could have intruded both limbs and hinge of an existing fold.

Published: May 2024

Background: Adverse medication reactions affecting one or more organ systems can manifest as side effects of antibiotics. There is a possibility that some antibiotics will have adverse effects that are fatal. The present study aims to examine the ability of  hydroxytyrosol (HT) to protect the liver,  heart , and improvement of kidney function against the adverse effects of azithromycin.Methods: Thirty adult male rats were randomly divided into three equal groups of 10 animals each. The first group, designated negative control (NC), was the daily oral administration of normal saline. The second group (T1) was subject to daily oral administration of azithromycin (30 mg/kg). The last third group (T2) was administered azithromycin (30 mg/kg) with hydroxytyrosol (50 mg/kg). After two weeks the animals were sacrificed for serum collection, histopathological specimens, and drug docking evaluation using Auto Dock Vina.Result: The present study showed that score binding in 18gs Glutathione S-transferase was preferable in hydroxytyrosol with (-5.95 Kcal/mol), while vitamin E was in (-7.80 Kcal/mol) and (-6.16 Kcal/mol) for glutathione. On the other aspect, antioxidant coenzyme Q10 showed less binding with 18gs Glutathione S-transferase to recorded binding at (-4.9) with Root Mean Square Deviation (RMSD) (29.3, 30.3, 23.9 Kcal/mol) and (28.6) Kcal/mol, respectively. The histopathological result for T1 showed  several histological effects in the liver, heart, and kidney, while in T2 group showed improvement in tissue architecture. Conclusion: The study concluded that hydroxytyrosol binding glutathione S-transferase could predict potent antioxidants near glutathione, might be responsible for scavenger free radicals, and protect the tissue against the toxic effects of azithromycin.Keywords: Histopathology; Rat; Hydroxytyrosol; Azithromycin; Glutathione S-transferase

Starcie pod Tykocinem 21 maja 1831 roku. Epizod z dziejów wyprawy na Korpus Gwardii wielkiego księcia Michała w powstaniu listopadowym
Authors: Zdrojewski Kamil
Published: May 2024

Artykuł omawia walki pod Tykocinem 21 maja 1831 roku. Było to jedno z wielu starć w trakcie całej operacji polskiej, która utrwaliła się w historiografii jako „wyprawa na gwardię”. Jej zasadniczym celem miało być rozbicie Korpusu Gwardii, dowodzonego przez wielkiego księcia Michała i tym samym podanie pomocnej dłoni walczącej Litwie. W wyniku nieporozumień i sporów w sztabie polskim, przede wszystkim między naczelnym wodzem, generałem Janem Skrzyneckim i jego kwatermistrzem, gen. Ignacym Prądzyńskim, nie doszło do walnej bitwy. Zaprzepaszczono tym samym szansę na rozbicie rosyjskich sił, które rozpoczęły odwrót w kierunku Białegostoku. Wciąż jednak kontynuowano ofensywę. Po forsownym marszu polskie oddziały 20 maja starły się z tylną strażą Korpusu Gwardii dowodzoną przez gen. Karla Bistroma pod Rutkami, a następnego dnia pod Tykocinem, gdzie początkowe walki w mieście przeniosły się na groblę i mosty na Narwi. Drobiazgowe opisy zawarte w polskich pamiętnikach i rosyjskich historiach pułkowych pozwoliły na analizę poszczególnych etapów zmagań i przeprowadzenie badań nad aspektem taktycznym starcia i jego znaczeniu operacyjnym.

LETTER TO EDITOR
Authors: Mashood Ahmed
Published: May 2024

Pakistan has been listed as a developing country by the UNO for several decades now. However, in terms of accredited opportunities for further specialisation abroad by students gaining their MBBS in Pakistani medical colleges and universities, it is evident that mental health and psychiatric training is not at par with, say, medicine and surgery entry pathways. The reasons for this lag are likely to be multifactorial including but not limited to, the lack of attention by the Pakistani educational institution in developing the training pathways within Pakistan; the stigma attached to mental illness including the cultural and sub-cultural aspects of guilt and shame experienced by the families of the persons suffering mental illnesses and disorders; as well as the lack of interest in bright students having an ambition towards specialising in this field; lack of funding and resources; and lack of alignment with international institutions.
Remember: mental illness does not discriminate and can affect anyone; it is best countered by the professionals with the same discrimination-free approach.

Huyện Yên Bình, tỉnh Yên Bái là một huyện miền núi phía Bắc của Việt Nam, với tài nguyên đất đa dạng thích hợp cho phát triển nông nghiệp. Tuy nhiên, đất đai là hữu hạn do đó việc đánh giá hiệu quả sử dụng đất nói chung và đất nông nghiệp nói riêng để phát huy thế mạnh vùng và duy trì sự bền vững là việc làm cần thiết, nhất là tại các khu vực trọng điểm. Nghiên cứu sử dụng phương pháp điều tra phỏng vấn nhằm xác định các chỉ số về kinh tế - xã hội - môi trường liên quan tới tình hình sử dụng đất tại địa phương. Từ các thông số đó tiến hành tính hiệu quả các loại hình sử dụng đất. Kết quả nghiên cứu cho thấy trong 4 loại hình sử dụng đất nông nghiệp chính (LUT) tại địa phương, thì loại hình sử dụng đất 2 vụ lúa và 1 vụ màu đạt hiệu quả kinh tế - xã hội - môi trường cao hơn các LUT chuyên lúa và chuyên màu. Đây là loại hình sử dụng đất tạo được sự đa dạng sinh hoạt, hệ số sử dụng đất trong năm đạt cao nhất, tránh được sâu bệnh. Kết quả nghiên cứu này là cơ sở để định hướng sử dụng đất hiệu quả, gắn sử dụng đất với cải tạo, bồi dưỡng bảo vệ đất và môi trường theo hướng phát triển bền vững.
Big Ideas

Last spring I was on a panel of editors that included the senior editors of two top academic journals. During the discussion, I had the opportunity to describe the Journal of Biblical Integration in Business and its focus on the Bible. It was interesting to watch the audience in that secular academic setting. Some people were clearly outraged; others were politely blank. What surprised me was the warm response from many of the scholars in the audience. After the panel I was surrounded by a group of people unmistakably interested in how the Word of God integrates into business and pleased to learn about the CBFA. We may see some of those people at the annual conference; we will certainly see some of them in heaven.
Christian Family Businesses: Opportunities for Future Research
Authors: Cruz Allan Discua
Published: May 2024

Family businesses dominate the business landscape around the world. Traditionally, research has concentrated on understanding the complex processes that underpin the creation, development, and survival of family businesses. To date, however, a Christian perspective on family business research has been largely overlooked. The aim of this paper is to explore the connections between a Christian perspective and the most prevalent business form worldwide. This paper contributes by reviewing relevant literature in the family business field and by suggesting future research paths.
Response: Spreading the “Tone at the Top” Throughout the Organization
Authors: Dose Jennifer J.
Published: May 2024

Many thanks to Dov Fischer and Hershey Friedman, the authors of “Psalms: Lessons for a ‘Tone at the Top’ Based on Trust and Justice,” for a very interesting and timely article. I am pleased that my own article, “Proverbs: Ancient Wisdom for Contemporary Organizations” (Dose, 2012), published in the JBIB, sparked the ideas presented in “Tone at the Top.” My goal in the Proverbs paper was to conduct an inductive study of Proverbs to find themes related to business. The assumption was that organizational members, particularly leaders, who follow the set of principles that Proverbs advocates, bring about beneficial organizational outcomes. A model of trust adapted from Mayer, Davis, and Schoorman (1995) and Zand (1972) tied together those principles in a coherent way, suggesting that effective leaders demonstrated the three components of trust: benevolence, ability, and integrity.
Some Tips to Prevent Employment Discrimination Lawsuits: A Faith-Based Legal Guide for Managers, by David A. Robinson
Authors: Timmerman Melanie A.
Published: May 2024

David A. Robinson states in the preface that this “book concludes that if employers and employees will follow the Bible, they will follow the law” (p. v). Throughout the book, he examines the ability of employers to reconcile being in compliance with employment laws with following the Bible and faith-based teachings. This examination does give a Christian employer hope and practical guidance on how to follow both the laws of God and man.
Sabbath: The Theological Roots of Sustainable Development
Authors: Cafferky Michael E.
Published: May 2024

It is the thesis of this paper that, in general, the points of emphasis by the UN Commission on Sustainable Development are in close, but not perfect, alignment with the concept of Sabbath-shalom in Scripture. Some differences also exist. Sabbath begins at Creation and is the substance and symbol of God’s care for this earth. In Sabbath we rest in God’s sustaining power. Sabbath also is integral to covenant relationships. This means that Sabbath is not merely about care for the environment but also about care for all relationships envisioned by the concept of shalom. Both the creation roots and covenant roots link Sabbath to redemption and recreation. Together, these roots give us the direction that humans will journey when caring for each other and for this earth. The fatal flaw in the UN sustainable development movement is presented.
Success In Spite of Ourselves: Violation of Sabbath-Rest in Contemporary Culture
Authors: Morrow Laura , Thomas Christopher H. , Sager W. Scott
Published: May 2024

In today’s culture, many people believe success is linked to good behavior. Likewise, the Pharisees viewed righteousness as the path to success, and they regarded rule-keeping, including rules of the Sabbath, as the outward manifestation of righteousness. We postulate their strict adherence to rules may have, in fact, precluded them from experiencing the true blessings God associated with keeping the Sabbath holy. We explore the intended meaning of Sabbath-keeping and its benefits while discussing opposing views of Sabbath violation in contemporary culture. We highlight the consequences of failing to uphold the Sabbath and suggest that any success encountered in doing so is likely temporary and in spite of our behavior rather than due to it.
Living Integration Reflection “Misbehaving” on Sabbath
Authors: Havens Rebecca A.
Published: May 2024

In this living integration, the author reflects on how a series of trials became a journey to Sabbath and how that journey was transformative in her life. A personal perspective is shared, consisting of life events that led the author to consider Sabbath as a lifestyle that remembers God, looks to Jesus, and is intentionally non-conformist, or “misbehaves” according to the world’s standards. For this author, the journey to consider Sabbath transformed a professional crisis into a place of healing, restoration, and a deeper relationship with Christ.

Septuaginta som udfordring til den bibelske kanon
Authors: Müller Mogens
Published: May 2024

ENGLISH SUMMARY: When Jerome working on a new edition of the Latin Bible, around 390 decided to replace the Greek Septuagint with the Hebrew Bible (Hebraica veritas), it meant a farewell to what until then exclusively had been the first Bible of the church. Jerome did not wish to translate a translation and reckoned outright the Hebrew text the original. In the era of the reformation, Luther overtook this understanding, and the various protestant churches had a translation of the Hebrew Bible as their Old Testa-ment. New insights in both the complicated history of the Hebrew text in Antiquity, and in the special theological character of the Septuagint as the Bible of Hellenistic Judaism, today confronts us with a question: Shall we continue considering Biblia Hebraica the on-ly legitimate text of the Old Testament? Or, invites our knowledge about the genesis of the Septuagint, its special theological character, its meaning for the authors of the New Testament scriptures and its history in the first centuries of the church, to juxtapose the two editions of the Old Testament as equal editions of the church’s Old Testament? By exclusively preferring Biblia Hebraica, a foundational chapter in the reception history is omitted, and the Septuagint is left behind as a “missing link”. In the churchly and theo-logical context of today, Septuagint thus constitutes a challenge to our present under-standing of canon.
 
DANSK RESUME: Da Hieronymus under arbejdet med en ny udgave af den latin-ske Bibel omkring 390 besluttede sig for i stedet for den græske Septuaginta at lægge den hebraiske tekst (Hebraica veritas) til grund, betød det en afsked med det, der el-lers havde været kirkens første Bibel. Hieronymus ville ikke oversætte en oversættelse og anså ligefrem den hebraiske tekst for ’grundteksten’. Denne forståelse overtog Lu-ther på reformationstiden, og for de reformatoriske kirker har deres biblers Det Gamle Testamente bestået af oversættelser af Biblia Hebraica. Nye indsigter i såvel mangfol-digheden i overleveringen i antikken af den hebraiske bibeltekst som den teologiske prægning, som Septuaginta fik som en hellenistisk jødedoms samling af hellige skrif-ter, stiller os i dag over for det spørgsmål, om vi fortsat skal holde fast ved Biblia He-braica som den legitime bibeltekst, eller om vi ikke ud fra den viden, vi i dag har om Septuagintas tilblivelse og karakter, må sidestille de to bibeltekster, når det gælder kirkens og teologiens Gamle Testamente. Septuaginta var således bibelteksten for for-fatterne til Det Nye Testamentes skrifter og har i høj grad været med til at præge denne skriftsamlings teologi. Foretrækkes Biblia Hebraica alligevel eksklusivt som Det Gamle Testamentes tekst, overspringer man et afgørende kapitel i receptionshistorien og får Septuaginta til at stå tilbage som et ”missing link”. På den måde er Septuaginta en udfordring til kirkens og teologiens nuværende kanonforståelse.
Hvorfor er religionssosiologien så klasseblind?
Authors: Repstad Pål
Published: May 2024

SUMMARY: After a period with a strong focus on individualization and on other social background factors like gender and ethnicity, social class is back as a central topic. However, in sociology of religion its seems that class is still rarely investigated. This is also the case in the Nordic countries. In this article some examples are presented of how some of the founding fathers in sociology looked at the mutual relationship between social class and religious life. Then follows a discussion about why the increased interest in class analysis to little extent has manifested itself in the sociology of religion. The empirical examples are for the most part Norwegian, but the arguments have probably a broader relevance.
RESUME: Etter en periode i sosiologien med sterkt fokus på individualisering og på andre sosiale bakgrunnsfaktorer som kjønn og etnisitet, er sosial klasse tilbake som et sentralt tema. I religionssosiologien ser det imidlertid ut til at temaet klasse fremdeles utforskes sjelden. Det gjelder også i Norden. I denne artikelen presenteres noen eksempler på hvordan noen av de sosiologiske klassikerne så på det gjensidige forholdet mellom sosial klasse og religiøst liv. Så følger en diskusjon om hvorfor den økte interessen for klasseanalyse i sosiologien i liten grad har gjort seg gjeldende i religionssosiologien. De empiriske eksemplene er stort sett norske, men argumentene har trolig bredere relevans.
Kulturkristendom og kulturasetro i Danmark: et komparativt surveystudie
Authors: Schjødt Uffe , Christensen Henrik Reintoft , Petersen Lauritz Holm
Published: May 2024

SUMMARY: We show, for the first time, the relative strength of Danish identification with Christian culture and Old Norse culture. The study uses two measures: 1) the Identity Fusion (IF) scale to measure personal identification with a given culture, and 2) a task that measures the extent to which participants attribute central Danish values to a Christian or an Old Norse cultural heritage. We find across two samples (2021 n= 180; 2022 n=161) a consistent pattern. The IF scale reveals that Danes identify with both Christian and Old Norse cultures. The relative strength differs with approximately one unit on the IF with an almost 50% overlap between self and Christian culture, and an almost 25% overlap between self and Old Norse culture. We find a corresponding pattern on the value attribution task. The participants attribute values to both Christian and Old Norse cultural heritage, but also to other cultural repertoires. The origins of most, but not all, Danish values are attributed relatively more to the Christian heritage by approximately 30-35% of each value, while the Old Norse heritage is attributed approximately 20-25% of each value. Although the pattern is much more complex, we make the conjecture based on these results that Old Norse culture makes up 20-25% of the personal as well as the national identity of Danes.
RESUME: Vi kvantificerer for første gang styrkeforholdet mellem danskernes identificering med henholdsvis kristen og oldnordisk kultur. Undersøgelsen anvender to måleredskaber, 1) Identity fusion (IF) skalaen, som måler deltagernes personlige identificering med en bestemt kultur, og 2) en fordelingsøvelse, som måler i hvilken grad deltagerne tilskriver danske værdier en kristen eller en oldnordisk kulturarv. Vi finder i to stikprøver fra henholdsvis 2021 (n= 180) og 2022 (n=161) et klart mønster: deltagerne identificerer sig både med kristen og oldnordisk kultur, og den relative styrke viser ca. én enheds forskel på IF-skalaen, nemlig, et næsten 50% selvrapporteret overlap mellem selv og kristen kultur, og et næsten 25% overlap mellem selv og oldnordisk kultur. Vi finder et tilsvarende mønster på tilskrivningen af værdier. Deltagerne tilskriver danske værdier både en kristen og en oldnordisk kulturarv, men de tilskriver også værdier andre kulturelle repertoires. De fleste værdier tilskrives i højere grad en kristen kulturarv (ca. 30-35%) end en oldnordisk kulturarv (20-25%). Virkeligheden er selvfølgelig mere kompleks; men vi foreslår baseret på disse resultater, at oldnordisk kultur udgør ca. 20-25% af danskernes personlige og nationale identitet.

Hvilken fremtid skal Danmarks udviklingssamarbejde have?
Authors: Moe Fejerskov Adam , Winckler Andersen Ole
Published: May 2024

I forbindelse med finansloven for 2024 blev det besluttet, at en markant større del af den danske udviklingsbistand fremover skal kanaliseres igennem Industrialiseringsfonden for Udviklingslande (IFU), og at der samtidig skal gennemføres en såkaldt reform af IFU. Ikke mange udenfor miljøet, der beskæftiger sig med udviklingssamarbejde, bemærkede det, og det gav ikke anledning til større diskussion. Men afspejlede dette en radikal ændring af det danske udviklingssamarbejde, eller var det bare en forsættelse af ændringer, der allerede har været på vej i flere år? Og hvad var årsagen? Havde de danske samarbejdslande bedt om denne omlægning af udviklingsbistanden? Eller havde analyser vist, at det ville sikre en mere effektiv anvendelse af den danske udviklingsbistand? Eller var årsagen, at andre lande havde lavet lignende omlægninger af deres udviklingsbistand?

The paper presents a theoretical and experimental study of the influence of damage accumulation in composite material on the elastic fourth-rank tensor and on the strength under quasi-static, cyclic and dynamic loads. Layered polymer composites (glass or carbon fiber-reinforced plastic) are considered. This work aims to develop a mathematical model that accounts for the impact of damage in the composite material on the fourth-rank tensor of elastic properties. The constitutive relations for an orthotropic composite material are proposed, taking into account the accumulation of damage during tensile or shear loading. A numerical simulation using the finite element method is done for a periodicity cell for composite variants (unidirectional, layered, etc.) to determine the effective elastic properties. Quasi-static loading experiments were conducted on composite samples (carbon plastic) to validate the model and the degradation of elastic properties was determined by measuring the longitudinal sound speed. The full-scale experiments confirmed that damage accumulation in carbon fiber-reinforced plastic leads to the degradation of its effective elastic properties. In this connection, a technique was developed to take into account irreversible damage in an orthotropic composite material through the components of the ductility tensor, which may be helpful for the design and analysis of composite structures. The findings of the study could help with the creation of new materials with enhanced mechanical characteristics, as well as with raising the quality of already-existing materials. The developed mathematical model of orthotropic composite material can be used to enhance the structural strength properties and boost the application safety in a variety of industry.
Stochastic characterization of navigation strategies in an automated variant of the Barnes maze

Animals can use a repertoire of strategies to navigate in an environment, and it remains an intriguing question how these strategies are selected based on the nature and familiarity of environments. To investigate this question, we developed a fully automated variant of the Barnes maze, characterized by 24 vestibules distributed along the periphery of a circular arena, and monitored the trajectories of mice over 15 days as they learned to navigate from a random start vestibule to a goal vestibule. We show that the patterns of vestibule visits can be reproduced by the combination of three stochastic processes reminiscent of random, serial and spatial strategies. The processes randomly selected vestibules based on either uniform (random) or biased (serial and spatial) probability distributions; closely matched experimental data across a range of statistical distributions characterizing the length, distribution, step size, direction, and stereotypy of vestibule sequences; and revealed a shift from random to spatial and serial strategies over time, with a strategy switch occurring approximately every 6 vestibule visits. Our study provides a novel apparatus and analysis toolset for tracking the repertoire of navigation strategies and demonstrates that a set of stochastic processes can largely account for exploration patterns in the Barnes maze.

Published: May 2024

Cognitive decline is a significant health concern in our aging society. Here, we used the model organism C. elegans to investigate the impact of the IIS/FOXO pathway on age-related cognitive decline. The daf-2 Insulin/IGF-1 receptor mutant exhibits a significant extension of learning and memory span with age compared to wild-type worms, an effect that is dependent on the DAF-16 transcription factor. To identify possible mechanisms by which aging daf-2 mutants maintain learning and memory with age while wild-type worms lose neuronal function, we carried out neuron-specific transcriptomic analysis in aged animals. We observed downregulation of neuronal genes and upregulation of transcriptional regulation genes in aging wild-type neurons. By contrast, IIS/FOXO pathway mutants exhibit distinct neuronal transcriptomic alterations in response to cognitive aging, including upregulation of stress response genes and downregulation of specific insulin signaling genes. We tested the roles of significantly transcriptionally-changed genes in regulating cognitive functions, identifying novel regulators of learning and memory. In addition to other mechanistic insights, comparison of the aged vs young daf-2 neuronal transcriptome revealed that a new set of potentially neuroprotective genes is upregulated; instead of simply mimicking a young state, daf-2 may enhance neuronal resilience to accumulation of harm and take a more active approach to combat aging. These findings suggest a potential mechanism for regulating cognitive function with age and offer insights into novel therapeutic targets for age-related cognitive decline.
Spatiotemporal Changes in Netrin/Dscam1 Signaling Dictate Axonal Projection Direction in Drosophila Small Ventral Lateral Clock Neurons
Authors: Liu Jingjing , Wang Yuedong , Han Junhai , Tian Yao
Published: May 2024

Axon projection is a spatial and temporal-specific process in which the growth cone receives environmental signals guiding axons to their final destination. However, the mechanisms underlying changes in axonal projection direction without well-defined landmarks remain elusive. Here, we present evidence showcasing the dynamic nature of axonal projections in
Drosophila
’s small ventral lateral clock neurons (s-LNvs). Our findings reveal that these axons undergo an initial vertical projection in the early larval stage, followed by a subsequent transition to a horizontal projection in the early-to-mid third instar larvae. The vertical projection of s-LNv axons correlates with mushroom body calyx expansion, while the s-LNv-expressed Down syndrome cell adhesion molecule (Dscam1) interacts with Netrins to regulate the horizontal projection. During a specific temporal window, locally newborn dorsal clock neurons (DNs) secrete Netrins, facilitating the transition of axonal projection direction in s-LNvs. Our study establishes a compelling
in vivo
model to probe the mechanisms of axonal projection direction switching in the absence of clear landmarks. These findings underscore the significance of dynamic local microenvironments in the synergetic regulation of axonal projection direction transitions.

Applying a deep learning pipeline to classify land cover from low-quality historical RGB imagery
Authors: Eyster Harold N. , Beckage Brian
Published: May 2024

Land use and land cover (LULC) classification is becoming faster and more accurate thanks to new deep learning algorithms. Moreover, new high spectral- and spatial-resolution datasets offer opportunities to classify land cover with greater accuracy and class specificity. However, deploying deep learning algorithms to characterize present-day, modern land cover based on state-of-the-art data is insufficient for understanding trends in land cover change and identifying changes in and drivers of ecological and social variables of interest. These identifications require characterizing past land cover, for which imagery is often lower-quality. We applied a deep learning pipeline to classify land cover from historical, low-quality RGB aerial imagery, using a case study of Vancouver, Canada. We deployed an atrous convolutional neural network from DeepLabv3+ (which has previously shown to outperform other networks) and trained it on modern Maxar satellite imagery using a modern land cover classification. We fine-tuned the resultant model using a small dataset of manually annotated and augmented historical imagery. This final model accurately predicted historical land cover classification at rates similar to other studies that used high-quality imagery. These predictions indicate that Vancouver has lost vegetative cover from 1995–2021, including a decrease in conifer cover, an increase in pavement cover, and an overall decrease in tree and grass cover. Our workflow may be harnessed to understand historical land cover and identify land cover change in other regions and at other times.
Variation and trade-offs in life history traits of the protist parasite Monocystis perplexa (Apicomplexa) in its earthworm host Amynthas agrestis
Authors: Keller Erin L. , Schall Jos. J.
Published: May 2024

The life history of a parasite describes its partitioning of assimilated resources into growth, reproduction, and transmission effort, and its precise timing of developmental events. The life cycle, in contrast, charts the sequence of morphological stages from feeding to the transmission forms. Phenotypic plasticity in life history traits can reveal how parasites confront variable environments within hosts. Within the protist phylum Apicomplexa major clades include the malaria parasites, coccidians, and most diverse, the gregarines (with likely millions of species). Studies on life history variation of gregarines are rare. Therefore, life history traits were examined for the gregarine Monocystis perplexa in its host, the invasive earthworm Amynthas agrestis at three sites in northern Vermont, United States of America. An important value of this system is the short life-span of the hosts, with only seven months from hatching to mass mortality; we were thus able to examine life history variation during the entire life cycle of both host and parasite. Earthworms were collected (N = 968 over 33 sample periods during one host season), then parasites of all life stages were counted, and sexual and transmission stages measured, for each earthworm. All traits varied substantially among individual earthworm hosts and across the sites. Across sites, timing of first appearance of infected earthworms, date when transmission stage (oocysts packed within gametocysts) appeared, date when number of both feeding (trophic) cells and gametocysts were at maximum, and date when 100% of earthworms were infected differed from 2–8 weeks, surprising variation for a short season available for parasite development. The maximal size of mating cells varied among hosts and across sites and this is reflected in the number of oocysts produced by the gametocyst. A negative trade-off was observed for the number of oocysts and their size. Several patterns were striking: (1) Prevalence reached 100% at all sites by mid season, only one to three weeks after parasites first appeared in the earthworms. (2) The number of parasites per host was large, reaching 300 × 103 cells in some hosts, and such high numbers were present even when parasites first appeared in the host. (3) At one site, few infected earthworms produced any oocysts. (4) The transmission rate to reach such high density of parasites in hosts needed to be very high for a microbe, from >0.33% to >34.3% across the three sites. Monocystis was one of the first protist parasites to have its life cycle described (early 19th century), but these results suggest the long-accepted life cycle of Monocystis could be incomplete, such that the parasites may be transmitted vertically (within the earthworm’s eggs) as well as horizontally (leading to 100% prevalence) and merogony (asexual replication) could be present, not recognized for Monocystis, leading to high parasitemia even very early in the host’s season.
