The Serbian Orthodox Church’s Involvement in Carrying the Memory of the Holocaust
Authors: Hofmeisterová Karin 
Published: February 2020

AbstractThe Holocaust has become a globally recognized reference for suffering and has often been appropriated as a framework for (re-)understanding collective identities. This article examines the agenda of the Serbian Orthodox Church (SOC) in relation to the memory of the Holocaust in post-Milošević Serbia. It focuses on the Jasenovac Committee of the SOC and the role of its head, Bishop Jovan (Ćulibrk), in the memorialization of Staro Sajmište, a distinguished place of the Holocaust in occupied Serbia. Based on primary sources encompassing Orthodox media, official statements, and interviews with mnemonic agents in the region, the author argues that the SOC has established itself as an acknowledged actor in the remembrance of the Holocaust in Serbia and beyond. Such a position allows it to point out Serbian martyrdom as part of the Holocaust imaginary, reinforce Serbian victimhood-oriented collective identity, and capitalize on the symbolic advantages of ultimate victimhood for its own regenerative ends.
Temporal Dynamics of Memory-guided Cognitive Control and Generalization of Control via Overlapping Associative Memories

Published: February 2020

Goal-directed behavior can benefit from proactive adjustments of cognitive control that occur in anticipation of forthcoming cognitive control demands (CCD). Predictions of forthcoming CCD are thought to depend on learning and memory in two ways: First, through direct experience, associative encoding may link previously experienced CCD to its triggering item, such that subsequent encounters with the item serve to cue retrieval of (i.e., predict) the associated CCD. Second, in the absence of direct experience, pattern completion and mnemonic integration mechanisms may allow CCD to be generalized from its associated item to other items related in memory. While extant behavioral evidence documents both types of CCD prediction, the neurocognitive mechanisms giving rise to these predictions remain largely unexplored. Here, we tested two hypotheses: (1) memory-guided predictions about CCD precede control adjustments due to the actual CCD required; and (2) generalization of CCD can be accomplished through integration mechanisms that link partially overlapping CCD-item and item-item associations in memory. Supporting these hypotheses, the temporal dynamics of theta and alpha power in human electroencephalography data (n= 43, 26 females) revealed that an associative CCD effect emerges earlier than interaction effects involving actual CCD. Furthermore, generalization of CCD from one item (X) to another item (Y) was predicted by a decrease in alpha power following the presentation of the X-Y pair. These findings advance understanding of the mechanisms underlying memory-guided adjustments of cognitive control.SIGNIFICANCE STATEMENTCognitive control adaptively regulates information processing to align with task goals. Experience-based expectations enable adjustments of control, leading to improved performance when expectations match the actual control demand required. Using EEG, we demonstrate that memory for past cognitive control demand proactively guides the allocation of cognitive control, preceding adjustments of control triggered by the demands of the present environment. Furthermore, we demonstrate that learned cognitive control demands can be generalized through mnemonic integration processes, enabling the spread of expectations about cognitive control demands to items associated in memory. We reveal that this generalization is linked to decreased alpha oscillation in medial frontal channels. Collectively, these findings provide new insights into how memory-control interactions facilitate goal-directed behavior.
Spectra of some algebras of entire functions of bounded type, generated by a sequence of polynomials
Authors: Halushchak S.I. 
Published: February 2020

In this work, we investigate the properties of the topological algebra of entire functions of bounded type, generated by a countable set of homogeneous polynomials on a complex Banach space.
Let $X$ be a complex Banach space. We consider a subalgebra $H_{b\mathbb{P}}(X)$ of the Fréchet algebra of entire functions of bounded type $H_b(X),$ generated by a countable set of algebraically independent homogeneous polynomials $\mathbb{P}.$ We show that each term of the Taylor series expansion of entire function, which belongs to the algebra $H_{b\mathbb{P}}(X),$ is an algebraic combination of elements of $\mathbb{P}.$ We generalize the theorem for computing the radius function of a linear functional on the case of arbitrary subalgebra of the algebra $H_b(X)$ on the space $X.$ Every continuous linear multiplicative functional, acting from $H_{b\mathbb{P}}(X)$ to $\mathbb{C}$ is uniquely determined by the sequence of its values on the elements of $\mathbb{P}.$ Consequently, there is a bijection between the spectrum (the set of all continuous linear multiplicative functionals) of the algebra $H_{b\mathbb{P}}(X)$ and some set of sequences of complex numbers. We prove the upper estimate for sequences of this set. Also we show that every function that belongs to the algebra $H_{b\mathbb{P}}(X),$ where $X$ is a closed subspace of the space $\ell_{\infty}$ such that $X$ contains the space $c_{00},$ can be uniquely analytically extended to $\ell_{\infty}$ and algebras $H_{b\mathbb{P}}(X)$ and $H_{b\mathbb{P}}(\ell)$ are isometrically isomorphic. We describe the spectrum of the algebra $H_{b\mathbb{P}}(X)$ in this case for some special form of the set $\mathbb{P}.$
Results of the paper can be used for investigations of the algebra of symmetric analytic functions on Banach spaces.
From Drift to Draft: How Much Do Beneficial Mutations Actually Contribute to Predictions of Ohta’s Slightly Deleterious Model of Molecular Evolution?
Authors: Chen Jun , Glémin Sylvain , Lascoux Martin 
Published: February 2020

AbstractSince its inception in 1973, the slightly deleterious model of molecular evolution, also known as the nearly neutral theory of molecular evolution, remains a central model to explain the main patterns of DNA polymorphism in natural populations. This is not to say that the quantitative fit to data are perfect. A recent study used polymorphism data from Drosophila melanogaster to test whether, as predicted by the nearly neutral theory, the proportion of effectively neutral mutations depends on the effective population size (Ne). It showed that a nearly neutral model simply scaling with Ne variation across the genome could not alone explain the data, but that consideration of linked positive selection improves the fit between observations and predictions. In the present article, we extended the work in two main directions. First, we confirmed the observed pattern on a set of 59 species, including high-quality genomic data from 11 animal and plant species with different mating systems and effective population sizes, hence a priori different levels of linked selection. Second, for the 11 species with high-quality genomic data we also estimated the full distribution of fitness effects (DFE) of mutations, and not solely the DFE of deleterious mutations. Both Ne and beneficial mutations contributed to the relationship between the proportion of effectively neutral mutations and local Ne across the genome. In conclusion, the predictions of the slightly deleterious model of molecular evolution hold well for species with small Ne, but for species with large Ne, the fit is improved by incorporating linked positive selection to the model.

Published: February 2020

AbstractGenetic variance of a phenotypic trait can originate from direct genetic effects, or from indirect effects, i.e., through genetic effects on other traits, affecting the trait of interest. This distinction is often of great importance, for example, when trying to improve crop yield and simultaneously control plant height. As suggested by Sewall Wright, assessing contributions of direct and indirect effects requires knowledge of (1) the presence or absence of direct genetic effects on each trait, and (2) the functional relationships between the traits. Because experimental validation of such relationships is often unfeasible, it is increasingly common to reconstruct them using causal inference methods. However, most current methods require all genetic variance to be explained by a small number of quantitative trait loci (QTL) with fixed effects. Only a few authors have considered the “missing heritability” case, where contributions of many undetectable QTL are modeled with random effects. Usually, these are treated as nuisance terms that need to be eliminated by taking residuals from a multi-trait mixed model (MTM). But fitting such an MTM is challenging, and it is impossible to infer the presence of direct genetic effects. Here, we propose an alternative strategy, where genetic effects are formally included in the graph. This has important advantages: (1) genetic effects can be directly incorporated in causal inference, implemented via our PCgen algorithm, which can analyze many more traits; and (2) we can test the existence of direct genetic effects, and improve the orientation of edges between traits. Finally, we show that reconstruction is much more accurate if individual plant or plot data are used, instead of genotypic means. We have implemented the PCgen-algorithm in the R-package pcgen.

The infantile colic is one of the most common complaints in the infancy; however, limited therapeutic approaches are described in the literature. Recently probiotics have been suggested as a potential strategy in the treatment of infantile colic. We conducted this study to investigate the efficacy of probiotics in relieving colic symptoms in Iranian infants. This double-blind clinical trial was performed among 70 infants aged 3 to 16 weeks with the presumed diagnosis of infantile colic according to Wessel criteria who were breastfed or formula fed. They were assigned at random to receive Pedilact® (Bifidobacterium infantis, Lactobacillus reuteri, and Lactobacillus rhamnosus) (N=33) or placebo (N=32). Demographic data were recorded in the questionnaires at the beginning of the study. The number of daily episodes of crying and fussiness, number of weekly crying days, and duration of crying were separately analyzed on 7, 21, and 30th days of investigation. Baseline demographic data showed no statistically significant difference between intervention and placebo groups. Infants given Pedilact® showed a significant reduction in daily episodes of crying, duration of crying, and the weekly number of crying days at the end of the treatment period compared with those receiving placebo (P=0.000). On 21th day of the study, daily episodes of fuss and crying (P=0.032) and duration of crying reduced significantly in the intervention group in comparison to the placebo group (P=0.000). Administration of Pedilact® drop significantly improved colic symptoms by reducing crying and fussing times in breastfed or formula fed in Iranian infants with colic.

Background: Caspofungin is prescribed for the systemic treatment of fungal infections and its correct prescription pattern is an issue of importance. Hence in this study Caspofungin utilization and the frequency rate of medication errors were investigated at a training hospital in a developing country.
Methods: This cross-sectional study enrolled 43 consecutive patients receiving Caspofungin in Firoozgar Hospital, Tehran, Iran from March to September 2017.
Results: The prescription frequency was higher in Intensive Care Unit by a rate of 58.1%. Infectious disease specialists were responsible for Caspofungin prescription only in 11 cases (25.5%). The cause of Caspofungin prescription was unknown in 18.6% of cases; but empiric treatment for febrile neutropenia and ICU patients with Candida Score > 2.5 were the most known causes. The drug administration in 11 cases (25.6%) occurred in less than one hour. The indication of treatment was incorrect in 12 out of 43 cases (28%). On the first day of the treatment a dose of both 70 mg and 50 mg was prescribed, which was higher than the appropriate dose and also it was lower than the optimal dose in five cases (83.7%). The mean treatment duration was 10.88 ± 5.35 days ranging from 2 to 24 days. The duration of treatment was correct in 20 cases (46.5%) and incorrect for 23 patients (53.5%).
Conclusion: In comparison with the Sanford and IDSA Guidelines there are multiple discordances in our setting, such as inappropriate duration, continuation, and indications. Hence these should be announced to the physicians for taking further caution in the aforementioned cases, and it is advisable to consult with infectious diseases specialists for the administration of anti-fungal drugs.

Comparing Effects of Different Doses of Vancomycin on the Biomarkers of Acute Kidney Injury
Authors: Elyasi Sepideh , Khalili Hossein , Abdollahi Alireza 
Published: February 2020

Background: Various urinary and serum proteins are being studied for detection of early stages of drug-induced nephrotoxicity like Gamma-glutamyltransferase (GGT), glutathione-S-transferase (GST), N-acetyl-glucosaminidase (NAG), neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin (NGAL), cystatin C (Cys-C), and kidney injury molecule 1 (KIM-1). As vancomycin nephrotoxicity is an important adverse reaction related to its high dose, its early diagnosis is vital. So in this study, effects of different vancomycin dosing on two renal biomarkers (Cys-C and KIM-1) of acute kidney injury and also serum creatinine were compared in patients with severe bacterial infections.
Methods: Fifty-eight patients with severe infections requiring vancomycin therapy, randomly received vancomycin 1g/ twice daily (N=29) or 1g/ three times daily (N=29). Serum levels of Cys-C and KIM-1 and urine level of Cys-C were measured at baseline and every other and compared between two groups.
Results: Serum level of Cys-C demonstrated significant rise during vancomycin treatment in both groups. However, there was no significant difference between them. Urine Cys-C level neither changed significantly within nor between groups during vancomycin treatment. The same results were detected for serum KIM-concentrations.
Conclusion: Different doses of vancomycin showed comparable effects on the serum and urine biomarkers of acute kidney injury. So, it seems that increasing vancomycin dose to 15mg/kg three times a day may not significantly increase risk of nephrotoxicity.
