Background
Oviposition site selection is an important component of vector mosquito reproductive biology. The Asian Tiger mosquito, Aedes albopictus, is a major and important vector of arboviruses including Dengue. Previous studies documented the preference of gravid females for small, dark-colored water containers as oviposition sites, which they sought during the twilight period (dusk) of their locomotor activity. Vision plays an important role in this behavior, and factors such as the shape, size, and color of the container, light intensity, polarization, spectrum, and other visual cues guide the search for suitable oviposition sites, but the mechanistic factors driving this behavior are unclear.

Methodology/Principal findings
We blindfolded adult female compound eyes and observed the effects of a lack of vision on the ability to discriminate and utilize preferred oviposition sites. Furthermore, the transcriptomes of blindfolded mosquitoes were screened to identify genes with vision-sensitive expression profiles and gene-editing was used to create non-functional mutations in two of them, rhodopsin-like (mutation designated ‘rho-l△807’) and kynurenine hydroxylase (mutation designated ‘khw’). Behavioral tests of both mutant and control strains revealed that the rho-l△807 mutant mosquitoes had a significant decrease in their ability to search for preferred oviposition sites that correlated with a reduced ability to recognize long-wavelength red light. The khw mutant mosquitoes also had a reduced ability to identify preferred oviposition sites that correlated with reductions in their ability to respond to variations in daily brightness and their ability to discriminate among different color options of the containers and background monochromatic light.

Conclusions/Significance
This study underscores the importance of visual cues in the oviposition site selection behavior of adult female Ae. albopictus. We demonstrate that wild-type rho-l and kh gene products play a crucial role in this behavior, as mutants exhibit altered sensitivity or recognition of light intensity and substrate colors.

Published: November 2024

Objectives
There is a growing need to understand the potential role of soluble platelet selectin (sP-selectin) in sustained endothelial activation through increased levels of soluble intercellular adhesion molecule-1 (sICAM-1) and soluble vascular adhesion-1 (sVCAM-1) in people living with HIV (PLWH) on highly active antiretroviral therapy (HAART).

Methodology
This was a cross-sectional study involving PLWH on HAART (n = 55), in comparison to PLWH not on treatment (HAART-naïve) (n = 29), and (iii) HIV negative controls (n = 48) from the Mankweng area in the Limpopo province, South Africa. We quantified serum levels of sP-selectin, together with sICAM-1 and sVCAM-1. Most of the HAART-exposed group were on treatment for <5 years. We further performed frequency distribution and descriptive statistics for categorical variables.

Results
Soluble P-selectin was positively correlated with sVCAM-1 (r = 0.469; p<0.001) in PLWH on HAART, even after adjusting for confounding factor such as age, BMI, and total cholesterol (r = 0.467; p<0.001). Moreover, in PLWH on HAART sP-selecting was independently associated with the release of sVCAM-1 (β = 0.445; p<0.001), even after adjusting for confounders (β = 0.475; p = 0.001). Serum levels of low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) (p = 0.004) and total cholesterol (p<0.001) were significantly higher in PLWH on HAART as compared to the HAART-naïve group.

Conclusion
There is a need for more studies to investigate the role of sP-selectin in promoting endothelial activation and CVD-risk in PLWH on HAART, especially within the sub-Saharan Africa region.

Published: November 2024

Aim
To determine the prevalence of metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD) among Western Austrian adolescents and its association with arterial stiffness as a marker of early vascular ageing.

Methods
In the cross-sectional Early Vascular Ageing in the YOUth study, liver fat content was assessed by controlled attenuation parameter (CAP) using signals acquired by FibroScan (Echosense, Paris, France) in 14- to 19-year-old Austrian adolescents. Arterial stiffness was determined by carotid-femoral pulse wave velocity (cfPWV) and cardiovascular risk factors by a face-to-face interview, physical examination, and fasting blood analyses. Linear regression models and one-way analysis of variance were performed to analyze the association between liver fat content, MASLD and cfPWV.

Results
A total of 1292 study participants (65.2% female) aged 17.2 ± 1.3 years were included. MASLD was detected in 62 (4.8%) adolescents. CAP value showed a significant association with cfPWV in the unadjusted model (p < 0.001) but lost its significant influence in the multivariable model after adjusting for sex, age and cardiovascular risk criteria (increased BMI or waist circumference, impaired glucose metabolism, elevated blood pressure, elevated plasma triglycerides, and decreased HDL cholesterol; p = 0.540). In the analysis of variance, a significant increase in cfPWV was observed in adolescents with any of the five cardiovascular risk criteria for MASLD (p < 0.001), but not with the additional presence of steatotic liver disease (p = 0.291).

Conclusion
In our adolescent cohort, liver fat content and MASLD were not found to be independent predictors for early vascular ageing. Nevertheless, the determination of liver fat content can be a useful tool to identify adolescents at high risk for cardiovascular disease and metabolic syndrome.
Evolución y actualidad del modelo Andel
Authors: Merino Hernández Santiago 
Published: November 2024

En los últimos años hemos sido testigos de la llegada a España de nuevos modelos de cooperativas de viviendas que con éxito se han desarrollado más allá de nuestras fronteras. Uno de estos modelos, proveniente de Dinamarca, es el denominado como “Andel” y que ha servido de continua referencia a muchos de los proyectos que se han propuesto en nuestro país. Es por ello por lo que se hacía necesaria una revisión y actualización de este, sobre todo a la luz de la Ley 1281/2020, de asociaciones de cooperativas de viviendas y otras asociaciones de vivienda, norma en vigor en Dinamarca. En este sentido, y partiendo de su evolución histórica, hemos profundizado en los aspectos generales de este tipo de cooperativas de viviendas, caracterizadas en su origen por el impulso público, diferenciándolas de las asociaciones Almene, al tiempo que nos hemos detenido en el modelo organizativo y gestión económica. Y todo ello, además, sin olvidar la necesaria contextualización del modelo en el marco de los países nórdicos, para lo cual nos hemos detenido en la comparativa con otros países de su entorno más cercano como Suecia o Finlandia. De esta forma, hemos pretendido presentar un estudio que venga a clarificar el modelo Andel y poder contribuir a que sirva de referencia, o no, a ese “nuevo cooperativismo de vivienda”. No cabe más que señalar, por último, que aun sabiendo que resulta imposible una transferencia mimética de determinados modelos, porque cada uno de ellos es consecuencia de respuestas a necesidades distintas, sí deben de servir de inequívoco aprendizaje para la construcción y revisión de los nuestros propios.
Recognition analysis of spiral and straight-line drawings in tremor assessment

Published: November 2024

Abstract

Objectives
No standard, objective diagnostic procedure exists for most neurological diseases causing tremors. Therefore, drawing tests have been widely analyzed to support diagnostic procedures. In this study, we examine the comparison of Archimedean spiral and line drawings, the possibilities of their joint application, and the relevance of displaying pressure on the drawings to recognize Parkinsonism and cerebellar dysfunction. We further attempted to use an automatic processing and evaluation system.

Methods
Digital images were developed from raw data by adding or omitting pressure data. Pre-trained (MobileNet, Xception, ResNet50) models and a Baseline (from scratch) model were applied for binary classification with a fold cross-validation procedure. Predictions were analyzed separately by drawing tasks and in combination.

Results
The neurological diseases presented here can be recognized with a significantly higher macro f1 score from the spiral drawing task (up to 95.7 %) than lines (up to 84.3 %). A significant improvement can be achieved if the spiral is supplemented with line drawing. The pressure inclusion in the images did not result in significant information gain.

Conclusions
The spiral drawing has a robust recognition power and can be supplemented with a line drawing task to increase the correct recognition. Moreover, X and Y coordinates appeared sufficient without pressure with this methodology.
Neue Perspektiven für den Einbezug von Wolof im DaF-Unterricht im Senegal – Das Vokalsystem des Deutschen und Wolof im Vergleich
Authors: Diouf Mahamadou 
Published: November 2024

Zusammenfassung
Dieser Artikel versucht, die Relevanz der Beschäftigung mit dem Wolof im Lernprozess des Vokalsystems des Deutschen aufzuzeigen. Aus dem Beitrag geht hervor, dass die Vokallänge in beiden Sprachen ein relevantes Phänomen ist. Durch einen kontrastiven didaktischen Ansatz kann das Unterrichten des Deutschen im Senegal erleichtert werden. Französisch, das lange Zeit für den Deutschunterricht im Senegal verwendet wurde, ist nicht geeignet, um das Phänomen der Vokallänge zu unterrichten, da das Phänomen in dieser Sprache nicht relevant ist. Die hier vorgestellte Analyse schlägt einen Perspektivenwechsel im Deutschunterricht im Senegal vor. Auch wenn das Wolof dem Deutschen in Bezug auf den Vokalismus sehr ähnlich ist, gibt es einige Aspekte, die berücksichtigt werden müssen, um das Ziel nicht zu verfehlen.
Hat man da noch Worte? – Schulung der lexikalischen Präzision im zielorientierten Fremdsprachenunterricht Deutsch für spanischsprachige Translatoren
Authors: Zimmermann González Petra , Roiss Silvia 
Published: November 2024

Zusammenfassung
In diesem Artikel wird die Förderung der lexikalischen Präzision im Fremdsprachenunterricht Deutsch innerhalb des Bachelorstudiums Übersetzen und Dolmetschen unter dem Prisma der Zielorientiertheit ins Auge gefasst. Zunächst wird bestrebt, klare Linien zum herkömmlichen Fremdsprachenunterricht zu ziehen. Mittels der Einbeziehung des Fragenkatalogs von Nation (2020) und unterschiedlicher translatorischer Subkompetenzen (vgl. u. a. Kelly 2002) sowie der systematischen Anwendung digitaler Ressourcen und KI wird versucht, die lexikalische Präzision zu schulen. Wir erarbeiten spezifische Lerninhalte innerhalb des zielorientierten Fremdsprachenunterrichts für Translatoren, in denen die Lernziele genau angegeben werden. Die Verfolgung derselben wird Schritt für Schritt aufgeschlüsselt, um zu einem Gesamtbild zu gelangen. Diese Vorgehensweise kann als Modell fungieren, denn sie lässt sich an andere Lerninhalte im Zuge des zielsprachlichen Fremdsprachenunterrichts für Studierende des Translationsstudienganges anpassen.
La pregunta como instrumento de retroalimentación correctiva escrita en la formación en traducción jurídica (francés-español): un estudio exploratorio
Authors: Barceló Martínez Tanagua , Delgado Pugés Iván 
Published: November 2024

Resumen
El presente artículo, que se inscribe en el marco del Proyecto de Investigación “La retroalimentación formativa en la enseñanza-aprendizaje de la traducción” (Ministerio de Ciencia e Innovación, PID2020-113236GB-I00), tiene como objetivo poner de manifiesto la pertinencia de la utilización de la pregunta como método de retroalimentación escrita en la evaluación de encargos de traducción en las asignaturas de traducción jurídica del Grado en Traducción e Interpretación de la Universidad de Málaga, en consonancia con la premisa socrática. El recurso a este mecanismo didáctico permite que, en un primer momento, el discente reflexione de forma más profunda sobre sus errores para, a continuación, entablar un diálogo con el evaluador que le posibilite alcanzar, de forma autónoma, una solución correcta que subsane dichas incorrecciones. Se trata, en suma, de fomentar un doble proceso correctivo que redunde en la calidad de las traducciones del alumnado. Para ello, partiremos, por un lado, de un corpus de traducciones (francés-español) corregidas y evaluadas por docentes de traducción jurídica, y, por otra, de la opinión de los alumnos sobre este mecanismo evaluativo expresada en una serie de cuestionarios confeccionados ad hoc.
Ethical budgets in (psycho-)linguistic fieldwork
Authors: Sarvasy Hannah S. 
Published: November 2024

Abstract
As most linguists and social scientists are now aware, cross-cultural field research can be extractive, especially when the target community does not have ready access to and/or understanding of the research products. The notions of collaborative research, with communities rather than on them, and co-design of research with the participant community, are now common currency in funding applications, and indeed, an international code of ethics for cross-cultural research now exists: the TRUST Code. But it is easy to pay lip service to some of the principles of the TRUST Code, such as collaboration, co-design, and respect, without offering hard proof of these, at project design and ethics and funding application stages. I propose a straightforward and easy-to-implement partial solution: fair budgets. I suggest, as a starting point, that: (1) any grant proposal or ethics application must state what proportion of the overall project funds will be distributed among local community members, and (2) the travel costs for outsiders must be less than or equal to funds distributed within the local community. Because it may be impossible to match the costs of international travel through participant payments alone, such quotas will require researchers not only to pay everyone who supports the project in the field fairly (as suggested in the TRUST Code on a smaller scale), but also to envision meaningful, capacity-building ways to involve local people in running the project. Then, once local people are trained, they can design and run their own locally relevant projects. Budget quotas are already used by research funders like the Australian Centre for International Agricultural Research, which requires that a minimum of 40 % of all grant monies must be spent in-country, but this idea has not yet taken hold widely in social science and humanities research.

Authors: Kasi Vinoth Kumar , Mayandi Jeyanthinath , Jose Sujin P. , Vasu Veerapandy , Bethke Kevin , Karazhanov Smagul Zh. 
Published: November 2024

Abstract
In recent developments in solar energy research, Sb2Se3 and Sb2S3 emerge as environment friendly photovoltaic absorber materials, distinguished by their narrow bandgap and high absorption coefficient. Theoretical investigations to determine the electronic structure, effective density of states, dielectric function, and absorption coefficient of Sb2Se3 and Sb2S3 crystals have been performed using first-principle methods. The results reveal band gap values of about 0.822 and 1.757 eV (PBE method), 1.114 and 1.778 eV (HSE06 method) for Sb2Se3 and Sb2S3, respectively. The valence band and conduction band edges are primarily formed by Se 4p, S 3p, and Sb 5p hybridized orbitals. The effective density of states (DOS) exhibit magnitudes on the order of 1019 cm−3. Notably, anisotropic characteristics are observed in the real and imaginary parts of the dielectric function. Furthermore, the absorption coefficient surpasses 105 cm−1  at 1 and 1.2 eV for both Sb2Se3 and Sb2S3. The result indicates that these highly efficient absorber materials are suitable in collecting solar energy.
