Published: October 2019

Abstract
This study aims to explore whether E545K, the most common hotspot mutation of PIK3CA in cervical cancer, confers radioresistance to cervical cancer cells, to demonstrate the underling mechanism, and to develop the effective targets. SiHa and MS751 cells with PIK3CA-WT and PIK3CA-E545K were established by lentiviral transfection. The radiosensitivity was assessed by colony formation, cell cycle, cell apoptosis, DNA damage, and repair assay. The growth and immunohistochemical assay of xenograft tumor–related toxicity were evaluated in vivo. It was indicated that more cells with PIK3CA-E545K arrested in S phase. Irradiation (IR) led to more survival percentage, less apoptosis, fewer pH2A.X foci, and higher expression of Chk1/2 in SiHa and MS751 cells bearing PIK3CA-E545K. Mechanically, AKT/GSK3β/β-catenin pathway was highly activated, and more β-catenin was found accumulated in nucleus in cells with PIK3CA-E545K after IR. Furthermore, targeting β-catenin by shRNA or XAV939 enhanced IR sensitivity in cells with PIK3CA-WT and PIK3CA-E545K, whereas it was more notably in the latter. β-Catenin shRNA and XAV939 increased IR-mediated inhibition of colony formation with highly activated p53/bcl2/bax pathway. XAV939 enhanced IR-caused apoptosis, DNA damage, overcame S-phase arrest, DNA repair and reversed β-catenin nuclear accumulation in MS751 cells with PIK3CA-E545K. In vivo, XAV939 enhanced the radiosensitivity of cervical cancer xenografts with PIK3CA-E545K with invisible viscera toxicity. The findings demonstrate that cervical cancer cells with PIK3CA-E545K are resistant to IR by enhancing the expression and nuclear accumulation of β-catenin. Targeting β-catenin reverses the radioresistance, which suggests possible areas for preclinical research on β-catenin inhibition for strengthening the radiosensitivity of cervical cancer.
Atlas: Matrix. Diary of a collaborative practice
Authors: Elias Heléna , De Luca Francesca 
Published: October 2019

This short, experimental piece, represents one possible way to describe the site-specific installation ATLAS: MATRIX in the Tropical Garden of Belém in Lisbon, Portugal. The text is the narrative of a mindful collaboration, one where the act of collaborating - intentional but not overly planned - resulted in an open-ended installation/dispositive that called for ulterior collaboration, enabling the spectators to play with the elements while generating, at the same time, a reflection around the collaborative endeavour itself. An introductory story in the form of a diary is followed by DIY guidelines, indicating a replicable formula for co-laborating - [from Latin cum (together) + laborare (to practice)] - in transdisciplinary settings.
Arquivo e imagens: questões heurísticas e visuais ante à abertura do Arquivo Kamayurá de Etienne Samain
Authors: Bruno Fabiana 
Published: October 2019

Este artigo tem o propósito de apresentar uma reflexão sobre os resultados metodológicos e de uma experimentação visual no curso de uma pesquisa antropológica, que se colocou diante do desafio ontológico de abrir um arquivo de 500 fotografias adormecidas durante quase décadas. O arquivo constituído por imagens indígenas, Kamayurá do Alto Xingu, pertencentes ao acervo pessoal do antropólogo, Etienne Samain, foi interrogado à luz da sua própria condição de silêncio e do imperativo de privilegiar, antes de tudo, o ato de olhar e escutar as imagens. Neste artigo, o leitor poderá conhecer o percurso metodológico traçado, acompanhando parte dos resultados provenientes de uma dupla experiência de trabalho realizada neste arquivo fotográfico sobre os índios Kamayurá - a da pesquisa e a do próprio produtor das imagens. Em seguida poderá ver a experimentação visual das Cartas Poéticas de Imagens, constructo de uma experiência de montagem visual com as fotografias do arquivo.
Fia Sophia: performance e antropologia
Authors: Olaia Pedro , Saraiva Luis Junior 
Published: October 2019

Este trabalho tem o objetivo de refletir sobre a produção teórica e prática do artista pesquisador AUTOR 1 e das performances de Sophia, sua drag queen, relacionando teóricos da antropologia, teoria queer e artes na encruzilhada transdisciplinar com teoria e prática em interações extra-muros-acadêmicos por um convívio social e discussões do cotidiano sobre normatizações impostas sobre corpos dissidentes. Este trabalho propõe-se como narrativa performática suplementada por aglutinações textuais e imagéticas, que detalham três momentos de Sophia em processos performáticos a partir da ação imersiva de nome “Fia Sophia”; instantes únicos em que Sophia interage com outras pessoas – que participam da performance no jogo des)construído coletivamente em fluição e fruição de manifestações artísticas, pulsar de ideias, criações e difusões de processos espontâneos e dialógicos – e como as ações artístico-performáticas são instantes efêmeros em que o registro imagético é muito mais apropriado como processo narrativo e de registro etnográfico.

Apresentação do Dossiê "Artes e antropologias: políticas, poéticas das ruas e modos de fazer etnográficos". Na organização desse dossiê (per)seguimos um itinerário que, há longa data, vem nos ocupando e está ligado, por um lado, aos cruzamentos entre arte e política e, por outro, à imbricação entre práticas e modos de fazer etnográficos e artísticos. Junto com outra antropóloga e fazedora de artes do corpo, Julia Ruiz di Giovanni, aqui ausente, mas sempre presente num diálogo que mantemos nos últimos anos, fomos potencializar essa troca que se deu tanto em momentos de discussão acadêmica, com congressos, seminários e cursos ou em eventos de caráter híbrido, com artistas e pesquisadoras, para não mencionar as conversas menos formais que vem atravessando o oceano Atlântico inúmeras vezes.
Discurso de Ailton Krenak, em 04/09/1987, na Assembleia Constituinte, Brasília, Brasil
Authors: Krenak Ailton 
Published: October 2019

Ailton Krenak é líder indígena, ambientalista e escritor. Nasceu em 1953 no estado de Minas Gerais, na região do Médio Rio Doce. Aos dezessete anos de idade, mudou-se com sua família para o estado do Paraná, onde se alfabetizou e se tornou produtor gráfico e jornalista. Na década de 1980, passou a dedicar-se exclusivamente ao movimento indígena. Em 1985, fundou a organização não governamental Núcleo de Cultura Indígena, que visa promover a cultura indígena. Foi durante a Assembleia Constituinte, em 1987, que Ailton protagonizou uma das cenas mais marcantes da mesma: em discurso na tribuna, vestido com um terno branco, pintou o rosto com tinta preta para protestar contra o que considerava um retrocesso na luta pelos direitos indígenas. Em 1988, participou da fundação da União dos Povos Indígenas, organização que busca representar os interesses indígenas no cenário nacional. Em 1989, participou da Aliança dos Povos da Floresta, movimento que busca o estabelecimento de reservas naturais na Amazônia onde fosse possível a subsistência econômica através da extração do látex da seringueira, bem como da coleta de outros produtos da floresta. Retornou a Minas Gerais, onde passou a se dedicar ao Núcleo de Cultura Indígena. Desde 1998, a organização realiza, na região da Serra do Cipó, em Minas Gerais, um festival idealizado por Ailton: o Festival de Dança e Cultura Indígena, promovendo a integração entre as diferentes populações indígenas.

Is cultivation of Saussurea costus (Asterales: Asteraceae) sustaining its conservation?
Authors: Kuniyal Chandra Prakash , Heinen Joel Thomas , Negi Bir Singh , Kaim Jagdish Chandra 
Published: October 2019

Saussurea costus (Falc.) Lipsch., (Asteraceae) known in English as Costus, is a threatened Himalayan medicinal plant listed on CITES (2014) Appendix I, Schedule VI of the Wildlife Protection Act (India) 1972, and Critically Endangered on the IUCN Red List. Wild collection of Costus is banned in India and permission is required for its cultivation and marketing. In the past 100 years of cultivation, various policy and management issues have impacted commercialization of the species. In 2015, we conducted surveys in the village of Kanol, Chamoli District, Uttarakhand, India to determine the status of Costus cultivation, problems associated with its marketing and the potential for expanded propagation to enhance local livelihoods. Forty-nine farmers in the study area were cultivating costus and interest in its cultivation had increased in the recent past due to the availability of governmental support. Annually, 1,250–2,950 kg roots (dried) and 20–57 kg seeds from this plant were produced by farmers within the study area. The area under Costus cultivation per farm was fairly constant (0.5 or 0.6 ha.) from 2012 to 2014, and the production of roots per farm ranged from 128 to 156 kg per year. Market prices for dried roots per kg had decreased over time. We found that regional and national marketing of the plant was not a problem for farmers, but export of cultivated products was a major challenge due to existing laws. In addition, local understanding related to post-harvest value addition, and self-reliance in Costus cultivation, was generally poor. Better national policies that increase the prospects for export, and more outreach to local villagers, are needed to improve the conservation and sustainable uses of Costus.

The ecological diversity of insects and its predators like amphibians are important determinants in ecological balance. A total of 1,222 prey items in 84 specimens were examined to contribute the understanding of the diets of three Duttaphrynus species, viz., himalayanus, melanostictus, and stomaticus from Uttarakhand, the western Himalaya, India. Gut content analysis of three bufonids revealed acceptance of a wide range of terrestrial insects and other invertebrates as their food. The index of relative importance indicated that the most important preys were Formicidae, Coleoptera and Orthoptera. Duttaphrynus melanostictus had the broadest dietary niche breadth, followed by D. himalaynus and D. stomaticus. The wide prey spectrum well indicates that these species are the generalist and opportunist invertebrate feeder. Information pertaining to the food spectrum analysis contributes to understanding the ecological roles and used as a baseline data for future successful amphibian conservation and management programs in the Himalayan ecosystem.
Mapping octocoral (Anthozoa: Octocorallia) research in Asia, with particular reference to the Indian subcontinent: trends, challenges, and opportunities
Authors: Ramvilas Ghosh , Shalu Kannan , Raghavan Rajeev , Ranjeet Kutty 
Published: October 2019

Octocorallia (Cnidaria, Anthozoa) comprising over 3,600 nominal species within three orders, Alcyonacea, Helioporacea and Pennatulacea, is one of the most poorly known groups of marine invertebrates. Half of known octocoral species occur in the Indo-Pacific, but not much is understood about research efforts and outputs in this region, particularly in the Asian context. A review of the literature on Asian octocorals during a 40-year period from 1978 to 2018 revealed that most research was concentrated in particular regions/countries. An analysis of research originating from India indicated several issues, including low quality data and local taxonomic impediment. This paper examines the general trends and geographic disparity in Asian octocoral research over the past four decades, analyses the extent and source of such disparity by drawing parallels between India and the rest of Asia, and provides recommendations for improving octocoral studies in the region.
Current population status of the endangered Hog Deer Axis porcinus (Mammalia: Cetartiodactyla: Cervidae) in the Terai grasslands: a study following political unrest in Manas National Park, India ­
Authors: Sinha Alolika , Lahkar Bibhuti Prasad , Hussain Syed Ainul 
Published: October 2019

The Endangered Hog Deer Axis porcinus has experienced drastic population declines throughout its geographical range. There is limited knowledge of its current population status, particularly from northeastern India. In this study the population density of Hog Deer was assessed in Manas National Park, which was a deer stronghold prior to the armed conflict that lasted for almost two decades, resulting in depressed deer populations. With the cessation of conflict, efforts were invested by both government and conservation organisations for the recovery and conservation of charismatic fauna in the park. Studies on Hog Deer populations, however, were lacking and thus reliable information on current status is unavailable. Current population status and threats faced by Hog Deer were assessed to aid informed conservation decisions. Distance sampling techniques (line transects) were applied in the grassland habitat during the dry season of two consecutive years. The estimated Hog Deer density was 18.22±3.32 km-2. The potential threats to Hog Deer identified in Manas include habitat loss, habitat degradation due to spread of invasive plant species, illegal hunting, and other anthropogenic disturbances. Our study suggests that the Hog Deer population, though reviving, needs immediate conservation attention.
Mammal diversity in a montane forest in central Bhutan
Authors: Dhendup Tashi , Thinley Kinga , Tenzin Ugyen 
Published: October 2019

In Bhutan, knowledge of wildlife species richness in protected areas is increasing, particularly for mammals; however, the knowledge outside of protected areas typically remains poor. We conducted a camera trap survey from May 2016 to July 2017 in a montane forest outside of the protected areas network in central Bhutan and recorded 15 species of mammals (belonging to nine families and three orders), of which nearly half were listed as Endangered, Vulnerable, or Near Threatened. Our findings demonstrate that forested landscapes outside protected areas in Bhutan support a rich assemblage of wildlife species and are, therefore, deserving of comprehensive wildlife conservation plans and dedicated funding for ecological research and threat mitigation.
Attitudes Toward Animal Rights in Palestine: A Quantitative Study
Authors: Gustafsson Erni , Alawi Nabil , Andersen Per Normann 
Published: October 2019

Abstract
This study investigates and compares attitudes of 205 Palestinian and Norwegian university students toward companion animals (pets) using the Pet Attitude Scale. In order to provide some background for the Palestinian attitudes toward nonhuman animals, we discuss canonical Islamic texts on their treatment, as well as the present situation for animal protection in the Middle East. The findings from the survey suggest differences between Palestinian and Norwegian students; however, both groups showed predominately positive attitudes.
Niche divergence and diversification in South American freshwater turtles of the genus Acanthochelys (Chelidae)
Authors: Souza Franco , Rodrigues João , Olalla-Tárraga Miguel , Diniz-Filho José , Martinez Pablo , Sawaya Ricardo J. 
Published: October 2019

Abstract
Species distribution models (SDMs) are increasingly used to assess how ecological factors shape species distributions and diversification. Chelid turtles represent the richest family of chelonians in South America. Given the distributional disjunction and distinct habitats of four Acanthochelys species, we explored SDMs and niche overlap metrics between species pairs to evaluate the extent to which niche divergence or conservatism may have contributed to their geographic distribution patterns. None of the species pairs presented patterns consistent with niche conservatism suggesting that these species have different environmental requirements. However, when comparing species pairs co-occurring in the same watershed, results were conflicting. Niche divergence detected among Acanthochelys species indicate an interaction between ecological niche preference and geographical barriers for allopatric speciation. This interaction implies that ecological differentiation contributed to the diversification of Acanthochelys side-necked turtles that occur in South American freshwater environments.
Morphological and molecular characterisation of Neometadorylaimus coomansi (Ali, Farooqui & Suryawanshi, 1971) Jairajpuri & Ahmad, 1992 (Dorylaimida: Tylencholaimidae), with the first report of its male and new insights into its phylogeny
Authors: Islam Md Niraul , Imran Zarrin , Abolafia Joaquín , Peña-Santiago Reyes , Ahmad Wasim 
Published: October 2019

Summary
The rare genus and species Neometadorylaimus coomansi is characterised based on an abundant population found in West Bengal, India. New morphological and morphometric data are provided, together with SEM observations and the first description of its male. Molecular analyses (18S and 28S-rDNA sequences) were also done. A comparison of the present population with the two previously known ones, all from India, showed a remarkable variability in some features, especially the body length that ranges from 1.75 to 3.29 mm. The male is distinguished by its 1.83-2.06 mm long body, 54-55 μm long spicules, and nine or ten ventromedian supplements lacking an hiatus. New insights into the phylogeny of the genus are provided with an integrative approach combining morphological and molecular data. The monophyly of the Tylencholaimidae is supported, and a tentative relationship between Tylencholaimidae and other dorylaims lacking the pars refringens vaginae is suggested.
Buccal capsule and intestine ultrastructure of the marine predatory nematode Sphaerolaimus balticus (Monhysterida: Sphaerolaimidae)
Authors: Tchesunov Alexei V. , Fedyaeva Maria A. 
Published: October 2019

Summary
The ultrastructural morphology of the buccal capsule and intestine (mid-gut) of the predatory marine nematode Sphaerolaimus balticus is investigated. The major part of the voluminous barrel-shaped buccal capsule is made up of strongly modified somatic cuticle and hence presents itself as an intricately differentiated cheilostome. The latter consists of three compartments: i.e., i) labial region; ii) striated region with six rows of fine longitudinal ribs; and iii) shagreen band penetrated by about ten projections of arcade tissue. The gymnostome and telostome are narrow and together constitute a small posterior portion of the buccal capsule. The mouth is evidently opened by contraction of anterior longitudinal somatic muscles. The intestine is characterised by a very thin and homogenous basal lamina. The cytoplasm of the enterocytes contains lipid granules, large electron-light vacuoles and rounded concentric inclusions in membranous vacuoles. Apical microvilli are separated from the lumen by a dense three-layered glycocalyx resembling the peritrophic membrane in the intestine of arthropods. The glycocalyx is only a supportive structure of the mid-gut. The most peculiar features of the intestine are the particularly strong junctions connecting the glycocalyx with the cells. The junctions appear as cytoplasmic bundles attached to the dense glycocalyx layer by dint of hemidesmosomes.
Steinernema bertusi n. sp. (Rhabditida: Steinernematidae), a new entomopathogenic nematode from South Africa
Authors: Katumanyane Agil , Malan Antoinette P. , Tiedt Louwrens R. , Hurley Brett P. 
Published: October 2019

Summary
Two isolates of Steinernema bertusi n. sp. were separately recovered from Tito, Mpumalanga, and Port Edward, Kwa Zulu Natal, South Africa. In this paper, we describe the isolates as a new entomopathogenic nematode (EPN) species using molecular and morphological methodologies. The new species belongs to the cameroonense-clade, which consists of nematodes only isolated from the African continent. Steinernema bertusi n. sp. is characterised by having the longest infective juvenile (IJ) for this clade at 716 (628-814) μm. The IJ is further characterised by a body diam. of 32 (28-36) μm and the pattern for the arrangement of the lateral ridges from head to tail is 2, 4, 5, 4, 2. The first-generation male spicule and gubernaculum length is 82 (72-88) μm and 63 (54-72) μm, respectively. Only 25% of the second-generation males possess a mucron. The first-generation females of S. bertusi n. sp. have a slightly protruding vulva, with double-flapped epiptygmata and a mucron at the posterior end. The new EPN species is most closely related to S. sacchari and is the sixth species to be included in the cameroonense-clade.
Establishment of Green Supply Chain Management in Steel Industries Using Interpretive Structural Modeling
Authors: Kumar Rajesh , Shekhar Shiena 
Published: October 2019

Abstract
The state of Chhattisgarh in India has a very large number of steel plants causing pollution in the region. The effect of this pollution exceeds the geographical territory of a unit, and goes much beyond it, so it becomes essential to find the reasons for the pollution and the enablers for the green supply chain management, which in turn will help in providing a cleaner environment. In this study Multi-Criteria Decision Making (MCDM) tools like Interpretive Structural Modeling and MICMAC analysis have been used.
