Têrmin kras v Jesenkovih geografskih učbenikih // Term karst in Janez Jesenko geographical textbooks
Authors: Brenčič Mihael 
Published: February 2020

Janez Jesenko (1838–1908) je bil pomemben pisec osmih slovenskih geografskih učbenikov v drugi polovici 19. stoletja. Med njegovi najpomembnejši deli uvrščamo Občni zemljepis iz leta 1873 in Prirodoznanski zemljepis iz leta 1874. V svojih delih je obravnaval tudi kras. V članku smo analizirali, kako je razumel kras. Ugotovljeno je bilo, da je bil pri rabi besede nedosleden. Ker še niso bila vzpostavljena, ni upošteval enotnih pravil terminologije. Besedo kras je uporabljal tako v smislu zemljepisnega imena, kot v občem pomenu, prav tako pa je kras že razumel v sodobnem strokovno znanstvenem pomenu besede. Tudi s fenomenološkega vidika je kras opisoval v modernem smislu. V članku smo se dotaknili tudi pomena razumevanja teoretičnih vidikov razvoja pojma kras. //

In the second half of the 19th century Janez Jesenko (1838–1908) was an important writer of eight Slovenian geographical textbooks. Among his most important works are the General Geography of 1873 and the Natural History Geography of 1874. In his works he also covered karst. In the article we analyzed how he understood karst. It was found that the use of words was inconsistent, since terminological rules had not yet been established. He used the Slovenian word “kras” in both geographical and general terms, and understood karst in the modern scientific sense. Even from a phenomenological point of view, karst was described in a modern sense. The article also touches the meaning of theoretical aspects of the karst term development.
OTUD1 Negatively Regulates Type I IFN Induction by Disrupting Noncanonical Ubiquitination of IRF3

Abstract
IFN regulatory factor 3 (IRF3) is critical for the transcription of type I IFNs in defensing virus and promoting inflammatory responses. Although several kinds of posttranslational modifications have been identified to modulate the activity of IRF3, whether atypical ubiquitination participates in the function regulation, especially the DNA binding capacity of IRF3, is unknown. In this study, we found that the ovarian tumor domain containing deubiquitinase OTUD1 deubiquitinated IRF3 and attenuated its function. An atypical ubiquitination, K6-linked ubiquitination, was essential for the DNA binding capacity of IRF3 and subsequent induction of target genes. Mechanistically, OTUD1 cleaves the viral infection–induced K6-linked ubiquitination of IRF3, resulting in the disassociation of IRF3 from the promoter region of target genes, without affecting the protein stability, dimerization, and nuclear translocation of IRF3 after a viral infection. Otud1−/− cells as well as Otud1−/− mice produced more type I IFNs and proinflammatory cytokines after viral infection. Otud1−/− mice were more resistant to lethal HSV-1 and VSV infection. Consistent with the former investigations that IRF3 promoted inflammatory responses in LPS-induced sepsis, Otud1−/− mice were more susceptible to LPS stimulation. Taken together, our findings revealed that the DNA binding capacity of IRF3 in the innate immune signaling pathway was modulated by atypical K6-linked ubiquitination and deubiquitination process, which was regulated by the deubiquitinase OTUD1.

Le rôle précurseur de la Congrégation Notre-Dame de Sion dans les relations entre l’Église catholique et le judaïsme
Authors: Roy-Lysencourt Philippe 
Published: February 2020

Avant le concile Vatican II, l’Église catholique considérait le peuple juif comme déicide, réprouvé et maudit par Dieu ; après cet événement, elle renonça à ce qui fut appelé la « théologie de la substitution », s’engagea dans la voie du dialogue, affirma la permanence de l’élection d’Israël et considéra les juifs comme des « frères aînés ». Dans cet article, l’auteur étudie le rôle de la Congrégation Notre-Dame de Sion dans l’évolution du regard porté par l’Église catholique sur les juifs et le judaïsme, rôle qui a conduit à une remise en cause théologique et à un changement des mentalités qui ont mené, plus ou moins directement, à la déclaration Nostra Aetate du concile Vatican II.
Selective Cytotoxicity of a Novel Trp‐Rich Peptide against Lung Tumor Spheroids Encapsulated inside a 3D Microfluidic Device

Published: February 2020

AbstractThere is a globally rising healthcare need to develop new anticancer therapies as well as to test them on biologically relevant in vitro cancer models instead of overly simplistic 2D models. To address both these needs, a 3D lung cancer spheroid model is developed using human A549 cells trapped inside a collagen gel in a compartmentalized microfluidic device and homogenously sized (35–45 µm) multicellular tumor spheroids are obtained in 5 days. The novel tryptophan‐rich peptide P1, identified earlier as a potential anticancer peptide (ACP), shows enhanced cytotoxic efficacy against A549 tumor spheroids (>75%) in clinically relevant low concentrations, while it does not affect human amniotic membrane mesenchymal stem cells at the same concentrations (<15%). The peptide also inhibits the formation of tumor spheroids by reducing cell viability as well as lowering the proliferative capacity, which is confirmed by the expression of cell proliferation marker Ki‐67. The ACP offers a novel therapeutic strategy against lung cancer cells without affecting healthy cells. The microfluidic device used is likely to be useful in helping develop models for several other cancer types to test new anticancer agents.

AbstractDevelopment of spinel bimetallic oxides as low‐cost and high‐efficiency catalysts for catalytic oxidation is highly desired. However, rational design of spinel oxides with controlled structure and components still remains a challenge. A general route for large‐scale preparation of spinel CoFe2O4/C nanocubes transformed from organometal‐encapsulated metal–organic frameworks (MOFs) via exchange–coordination and pyrolysis combined method is reported. Strong confinement effect between organometallics and MOFs realizes reconstruction of crystal phase and composition, but not simple metallic oxides support by Co2+ introduction. Compared with Co3O4‐Fe2O3/C, MOFs‐derived cubic nano‐CoFe2O4/C with higher surface area (115.7 m2 g−1) and favorable surface chemistry exhibits excellent catalytic activity (100% CO conversion at 105 °C) and competitive water‐resisting stability (total conversion at 145 °C for 20 h). Turnover frequency of CoFe2O4/C reaches 4.26 × 10−4 s−1 at 90 °C, two orders of magnitude higher than commercial Co3O4 . Theoretical models show that oxygen vacancies (17.7%) at exposed {112} facet on the carbon interface take superiority in nanocubic spinel phase, which allows reactive species to be strongly adsorbed on nanostructured catalysts' surface and plays key roles in hindering deactivation under moisture rich conditions. The progresses offer a promising way in the development of novel spinel oxides with tailored architecture and properties for vast applications.
Soil carbon and nitrogen mineralization after the initial flush of CO2
Authors: Franzluebbers Alan J. 
Published: February 2020

AbstractSoil health evaluation with biological activity requires standardization for greater understanding across environments. Soil‐test biological activity (STBA) may be an important indicator of soil N availability, but how it relates to long‐term soil N mineralization (NMIN) has not been documented. This study evaluated short‐ and longer‐term C and N mineralization in five soils from Georgia and North Carolina to validate associations between STBA and net NMIN. Although mathematical descriptions of cumulative C mineralization (CMIN) were logical and consistent among soil types, descriptions of net NMIN were complicated by the need to fit to single and double exponential models for different soil types. Rather than relying on exponential model fitting, emphasis on associations between linked processes of CMIN and NMIN resulted in simple, logical, and relatable interpretations. Soil‐test biological activity is a simple, rapid, and robust indicator that shows strong association with soil NMIN for up to 150 d.

AbstractCarbon is a simple, stable and popular element with many allotropes. The carbon family members include carbon dots, carbon nanotubes, carbon fibers, graphene, graphite, graphdiyne and hard carbon, etc. They can be divided into different dimensions, and their structures can be open and porous. Moreover, it is very interesting to dope them with other elements (metal or non‐metal) or hybridize them with other materials to form composites. The elemental and structural characteristics offer us to explore their applications in energy, environment, bioscience, medicine, electronics and others. Among them, energy storage and conversion are extremely attractive, as advances in this area may improve our life quality and environment. Some energy devices will be included herein, such as lithium‐ion batteries, lithium sulfur batteries, sodium‐ion batteries, potassium‐ion batteries, dual ion batteries, electrochemical capacitors, and others. Additionally, carbon‐based electrocatalysts are also studied in hydrogen evolution reaction and carbon dioxide reduction reaction. However, there are still many challenges in the design and preparation of electrode and electrocatalytic materials. The research related to carbon materials for energy storage and conversion is extremely active, and this has motivated us to contribute with a roadmap on ‘Carbon Materials in Energy Storage and Conversion’.

Published: February 2020

AbstractCongenital heart disease patients, specifically with unbalanced atrioventricular septal defects and common atrioventricular valves requiring single ventricle palliation, have substantial morbidity and mortality. Atrioventricular valve regurgitation (AVVR) is associated with poor outcomes in single ventricle patients, and many of them require surgical treatment of AVVR in their lifetimes. We describe a unique case of transcatheter edge‐to‐edge valve repair using the MitraClip system (Abbott, Chicago, IL) in a single ventricle patient with severe common AVVR.

AbstractUnderstanding the distance dependence of electron transfer (ET) through peptides is a topic of continuous interest. We studied a series of donor‐bridge‐acceptor (D‐B‐A) systems. The peptide bridges (B) were oligomers of the strongly helicogenic α‐aminoisobutyric acid, and were prepared in different lengths to form 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, or 5 intramolecular H‐bonds. D was a phthalimide group and A was a perester. The study was carried out in DMF, acetonitrile, and dichloromethane. Cyclic voltammetry (CV) and convolution analysis of the model donors and acceptor yielded the relevant thermodynamic information, whereas homogenous redox catalysis provided information on the competitive intermolecular ET. CV analysis of the D‐B‐A systems showed that, independently of the solvent used, the intramolecular ET occurs by a superexchange mechanism strongly affected by intramolecular H‐bonds and the extent of conjugation of the peptide bridge with D and A.

Published: February 2020

AbstractTextile wastewater contains huge quantities of nitrogen (N)‐containing azo‐dyes. Irrigation of crops with such wastewater adds toxic dyes into our healthy soils. One of the ways to prevent their entry to soils could be these waters after the dyes' biodegradation. Therefore, the present study was conducted to evaluate the impact of textile dyes on wheat growth, dye degradation efficiency of bacteria‐fungi consortium, and alleviation of dye toxicity in wheat by treatment with microbial consortium. Among dyes, Red‐S3B (3.19% N) was found to be the most toxic to germination and growth of seven‐day‐old wheat seedlings. Shewanella sp. NIAB‐BM15 and Aspergillus terreus NIAB‐FM10 were found to be efficient degraders of Red‐S3B. Their consortium completely decolorized 500 mg L−1 Red‐S3B within 4 h. Irrigation with Red‐S3B‐contaminated water after treatment with developed consortium increased root length, shoot length, root biomass, and shoot biomass of 30‐day‐old wheat seedlings by 47, 18, 6, and 25%, respectively, than untreated water. Moreover, irrigation after microbial treatment of dye‐contaminated water resulted in 20 and 51% increase in shoot N content and N uptake, respectively, than untreated water. Thus, co‐inoculation of bacteria and fungi could be a useful bioremediation strategy for the treatment of azo‐dye‐polluted water.

Published: February 2020

SummaryInductorless circuits are gaining advantage in radio frequency (RF) and high‐speed serial link circuits due to the reduced silicon area. This paper presents an inductorless adaptive analog equalizer using an adaptive hybrid filter comprising integrated low pass and high pass filter. The equalizer, designed and fabricated in 180‐nm CMOS technology, is able to adjust the high‐frequency boost (HFB) and cutoff frequency of the internal filters depending on the data rate and the channel loss. The presented equalizer operates at data rates more than 4 Gbps in post‐layout simulation without electrostatic discharge (ESD) and package parasitics. For the test purposes, the equalizer has been packaged in QFN 64 pin package and hence the measurement results are up to 3.125 Gbps. The measurement results show that the equalizer is able to adapt the HFB for the channel losses as high as 5 dB. Average dissipated power of the equalizer at 3.125 Gbps is 18 mW with 1.8‐V supply. After reading this chapter you should be able to understand the merits of the proposed hybrid filter compared with the conventional RC filters in the adaptive equalizer using spectrum balancing technique; theoretical analysis and the impact of short channel effects on the performance of the power comparator; and test results of the adaptive equalizer using the proposed hybrid filter in the spectrum balancing technique.

AbstractNew genomic tools open doors to study ecology, evolution, and population genomics of wild animals. For the Barn owl species complex, a cosmopolitan nocturnal raptor, a very fragmented draft genome was assembled for the American species (Tyto furcata pratincola) (Jarvis et al. 2014). To improve the genome, we assembled de novo Illumina and Pacific Biosciences (PacBio) long reads sequences of its European counterpart (Tyto alba alba). This genome assembly of 1.219 Gbp comprises 21,509 scaffolds and results in a N50 of 4,615,526 bp. BUSCO (Universal Single‐Copy Orthologs) analysis revealed an assembly completeness of 94.8% with only 1.8% of the genes missing out of 4,915 avian orthologs searched, a proportion similar to that found in the genomes of the zebra finch (Taeniopygia guttata) or the collared flycatcher (Ficedula albicollis). By mapping the reads of the female American barn owl to the male European barn owl reads, we detected several structural variants and identified 70 Mbp of the Z chromosome. The barn owl scaffolds were further mapped to the chromosomes of the zebra finch. In addition, the completeness of the European barn owl genome is demonstrated with 94 of 128 proteins missing in the chicken genome retrieved in the European barn owl transcripts. This improved genome will help future barn owl population genomic investigations.

Published: February 2020

AbstractRoot‐associated fungi (RAF) are an important factor affecting the host's growth, and their contribution to Pinus sylvestris var. mongolica plantation decline is substantial. Therefore, we selected three age groups of P. sylvestris plantations (26, 33, and 43 years), in the Mu Us Desert, to characterize the community structure and functional groups of RAF, identified by Illumina high‐throughput sequencing and FUNGuild platform, respectively. The effects of soil properties and enzyme activities on fungal diversity and functional groups were also examined. The results indicated that (a) 805 operational taxonomic units of RAF associated with P. sylvestris belonged to six phyla and 163 genera. Diversity and richness were not significantly different in the three age groups, but community composition showed significant differences. Ascomycota and Basidiomycota dominated the fungal community, while Rhizopogon dominated in each plot. (b) The proportion of pathotrophs decreased with increasing age, while that of symbiotrophs increased sharply, which were mainly represented by ectomycorrhizal fungi. (c) Stand age and soil enzyme activity had a greater influence on fungal community composition than did soil properties, whereas environmental variables were not significantly correlated with fungal diversity and richness. Dynamics of fungal community composition and functional groups with the aging plantations reflected the growth state of P. sylvestris and were related to plantation degradation.
