The world’s smallest Campanulaceae: Lysipomia mitsyae sp. nov.
Authors: Sylvester Steven P. , Quandt Dietmar , Ammann Lolita , Kessler Michael 
Published: May 2016

AbstractBotanists and plant morphologists have long been fascinated by how certain species can exhibit such reduced morphologies that even their identification to genus‐ or family‐level becomes difficult. Such was the case with Lysipomia mitsyae sp. nov., an exceptionally small plant discovered in the Peruvian Andes which bears lobelioid characteristics but differs in size by an order of magnitude from the current smallest members known from the entire Campanulaceae and lacks diagnostic characters allowing it to be reliably placed to genus‐level. Molecular analyses of trnL‐F, composed of a representative Lobelioideae sampling, place the samples within the genus Lysipomia, requiring that amendments be made to the description of the genus. Supplementary ITS analyses of a representative generic sampling indicate a close relationship to Lysipomia sphagnophila and L. multiflora. We here describe the world’s smallest Campanulaceae, Lysipomia mitsyae sp. nov., and discuss its phylogenetic and systematic relationships to the other members of the genus. Its highly reduced morphology, which has given it status as the smallest Campanulaceae and, quite possibly, the world’s smallest eudicot, is discussed in the light of current knowledge on the physiological and anatomical constraints on alpine plant growth and survival.

Myth today and together
Authors: Bennett Pete , McDougall Julian 
Published: May 2016

Abstract
This article presents a theoretical evaluation in practice, in the form of a project whereby Barthes’ collections of Mythologies (1972) were ‘reimagined’ by academics, teachers and students from (and for) the contemporary arts and media/culture landscape. Sections of the article rework extracts from two ‘bookending’ essays in a published collection, which, in this contribution, forms one strand of a broader research project and as such is placed in discursive and pedagogic conflict with the other data generated by the research. This ‘data’ is textual, generated by two participant groups – self-identified published ‘experts’ from the field of art, media and cultural studies, and groups of ‘inexpert’ student/teacher collaboration – both working to the same ‘brief’ but in different contexts. The ‘expert’ group responded to a conventional call for chapters, accepting the invitation to contribute to an orthodox scholarly ‘reader’. The group of ‘inexperts’ used a wikispace to respond collaboratively, blurring boundaries between teacher and student, author, myth and text. Our interpretation of the textual material produced by working, writing and myth-making in these ways identifies the dominant emerging discourses articulated by the data. In assessing these themes, we ask what is a myth today, in art’s ‘problematic relationship to knowledge’, what constitutes theory and who has the authority to impose theory on art as myth? Our tentative answers to these questions go beyond a ‘reimagining’ of Barthes’ intervention to lead us to propose some implications for values and practices in learning and teaching in arts, media and culture, closing in further on a ‘pedagogy of the inexpert’.
Media watchblogs as an instrument of media accountability: An international survey
Authors: Spiller Ralf , Degen Matthias , Kronewald Elke , Guertler Katherine 
Published: May 2016

Abstract
Media watchdog weblogs can play an important role in media accountability, provided that the bloggers are regularly active and have an appropriate awareness of their role in the media landscape. The following article examines the presence and influence of media watchblogs in selected nations, as well as the operators’ standards and perceptions of their roles. In semi-structured qualitative interviews, operators of watchblogs in Germany, Austria, Switzerland and the United Kingdom discussed their perceptions of their role, their ethical guidelines, their financing and any conflicts of interest, and their projections for the future. The interviews reveal that most media watchbloggers do not interpret their role to be a Fifth Estate with a mandate to monitor the mass media. The watchbloggers are reluctant to accept and uphold formal ethical and quality criteria, and limitations on time and money make them unable to guarantee ongoing critical media analysis. For these reasons, media watchblogs are determined to be a weak instrument of media accountability.
What is all the talk about? A comparative analysis of linguistic strategies in the speeches of former Swedish foreign minister
Authors: Moberg Sanna 
Published: May 2016

Abstract
In this article, linguistic choices within the notion of political dialogue, meaning the constantly ongoing construction and discussion of political issues, are analysed in order to unmask discursive structures and strategies. This is done through a discursive analysis of public statements relating to four cases of occupational conflicts, meaning cases of conflict all of which involve aspects of military occupation – namely, Afghanistan, Georgia, Israel and Iraq. The public statements analysed in this article were made by Sweden’s former foreign minister, Carl Bildt. The basic presumption in this article is that no social relations can be seen as neutral. As a result it becomes interesting to unmask and analyse structures and strategies within the political dialogue. The theory used in this article is primarily based on research made within the fields of Peace and Conflict and Media and Communication. These fields offer suggestions on how to understand the basis for peace, conflict and communication. The methodology is built on Critical Discourse Analysis (CDA) and a model consisting of three steps, inspired by Fairclough. The findings suggest that Bildt, as an actor within political dialogue, constructs meaning and power through public statements. This is done by using a moderate, or in Swedish lagom, approach built on a number of different Nodal Points, as well as a rational and logical rhetoric referring to history, culture, lore, law, human values and liberalism. In addition, it has also been found that Bildt is using consistent and moderate strategies when formulating public statements and that the political dialogue relating to occupational conflicts consists of a constant fight about the construction of meaning.
Mobile news consumption and political news interest: A time budget perspective
Authors: Zhang Xiaoqun , Ha Louisa 
Published: May 2016

Abstract
This study explores mobile news consumption from a time budget perspective. Time constraint is a major factor influencing people’s news consumption, but it has not been examined specifically in the previous studies. Because mobile media can exploit the time gaps when other media are inappropriate or inconvenient to use, they have a unique capacity to increase the available time for news consumption. Data for the empirical analysis were collected in a random sample mail survey with 253 respondents in the Midwest United States from September to November 2012. The results indicated that mobile news users have significantly longer work time and shorter disposable time (tighter time budget) than non-users; people with tight time budget are more likely to have more mobile news applications and spend more time on mobile news than are people with loose time budget; and people who are interested in political news spend more time on mobile news than do people who are not.

Authors: Martinez Rodriguez Fernando , González Martínez Juan 
Published: May 2016

Se presentan los resultados encontrados en la fase diagnóstica de la tesis doctoral: “Referentes pedagógicos para el uso y apropiación de las Tecnologías de la Información y Comunicación (TIC) al interior de los procesos educativos planeados y desarrollados por los docentes de educación superior”. Esta investigación se realiza en las facultades de ingeniería de tres universidades de Bogotá D.C., partiendo de la intuición de que los temas pedagógicos y didácticos en estas facultades siempre se han considerado en un segundo plano. La metodología de esta fase partió del enfoque cuantitativo mediante el diseño y la aplicación de una encuesta; el instrumento perseguía analizar el nivel de uso y apropiación de las TIC al interior de los procesos educativos que orientan los docentes de educación superior en ingeniería. El estudio permite confirmar que los docentes utilizan las TIC, pero también pone de manifiesto la necesidad imperiosa de orientar a los docentes de estas facultades en el adecuado uso de dichas tecnologías desde el punto de vista pedagógico y didáctico.Use and Appropriation of Information and Communication Technologies by Teachers in the Faculties of EngineeringThis research presents the results of the diagnostic phase of the thesis “Pedagogical References for Use and Appropriation of Information and Communications Technology (ICT) in Educational Processes Planned and Developed by Teachers in Higher Education.” This research was conducted in the engineering schools of three universities in Bogotá (Colombia), based on the intuition that pedagogic and teaching concerns in these departments have not always been faced in a good way. The methodology designed for this phase began with the quantitative approach through design and implementation of a survey: the instrument sought to analyze the level of use and appropriation of ICT into educational processes that guide engineering teachers in higher education. The study confirms that teachers do use ICT, and it also highlights the urgent need for guidance for teachers in these areas on the proper use of technologies not only from the teaching and learning points of view.Keywords: educational resources, ICT, pedagogy.

Published: May 2016

Abstract
The article presents alternatives for sustainable management of forest landscapes based on the analysis of Teteven area in Bulgaria. The conclusions are a result of research of 21 main factors, which are identified and evaluated with varying weight by experts and classified in five groups: environmental, social, economic, technological and political. In order to identify the most important and key factors, a structural analysis is applied. The alternatives are summarised in four scenarios called No Management, Ecological and Close to the Nature, Traditional Management and Maximum Potential Benefit.

AbstractThe influence of micronutrients on dopamine systems is not well defined. Using mice, we show a potential role for reduced dietary vitamin D3 (cholecalciferol) in promoting diet-induced obesity (DIO), food intake, and drug consumption while on a high fat diet. To complement these deficiency studies, treatments with exogenous fully active vitamin D3 (calcitriol, 10 µg/kg, i.p.) were performed. Nondeficient mice that were made leptin resistant with a high fat diet displayed reduced food intake and body weight after an acute treatment with exogenous calcitriol. Dopamine neurons in the midbrain and their target neurons in the striatum were found to express vitamin D3 receptor protein. Acute calcitriol treatment led to transcriptional changes of dopamine-related genes in these regions in naive mice, enhanced amphetamine-induced dopamine release in both naive mice and rats, and increased locomotor activity after acute amphetamine treatment (2.5 mg/kg, i.p.). Alternatively, mice that were chronically fed either the reduced D3 high fat or chow diets displayed less activity after acute amphetamine treatment compared with their respective controls. Finally, high fat deficient mice that were trained to orally consume liquid amphetamine (90 mg/L) displayed increased consumption, while nondeficient mice treated with calcitriol showed reduced consumption. Our findings suggest that reduced dietary D3 may be a contributing environmental factor enhancing DIO as well as drug intake while eating a high fat diet. Moreover, these data demonstrate that dopamine circuits are modulated by D3 signaling, and may serve as direct or indirect targets for exogenous calcitriol.
Higher incidence of morbidity in women than men with non-functioning pituitary adenoma: a Swedish nationwide study
Authors: Olsson Daniel S , Bryngelsson Ing-Liss , Ragnarsson Oskar 
Published: May 2016

Objective
Increased mortality rates are found in women and young adults with non-functioning pituitary adenomas (NFPAs). This nationwide study aimed to investigate the burden of comorbidities in patients with NFPA and to examine whether gender influences the outcome.

Design
NFPA patients were identified and followed-up from National Registries in Sweden. It was a nationwide, population-based study.

Method
Standardised incidence ratios (SIRs) for comorbidities with 95% confidence intervals (CI). Comorbidities were analysed in all patients, both patients with and without hypopituitarism.

Results
Included in the analysis were 2795 patients (1502 men, 1293 women), diagnosed with NFPA between 1987 and 2011. Hypopituitarism was reported in 1500 patients (54%). Mean patient-years at risk per patient was 7 (range 0–25). Both men (SIR 2.2, 95% CI: 1.8–2.5; P<0.001) and women (2.9, 2.4–3.6; P<0.001) had a higher incidence of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) than the general population, with women having a higher incidence compared with men (P=0.02). The incidence of myocardial infarction was increased in women (1.7, 1.3–2.1; P<0.001), but not in men. Both men (1.3, 1.1–1.6; P=0.006) and women (2.3; 1.9–2.8; P<0.001) had an increased incidence of cerebral infarction, with women having a higher incidence than men (P<0.001). The incidence of sepsis was increased for both genders. The incidence of fractures was increased in women (1.8, 1.5–1.8; P<0.001), but not for men.

Conclusions
This nationwide study shows excessive morbidity due to T2DM, cerebral infarction and sepsis in all NFPA patients. Women had higher incidence of T2DM, myocardial infarction, cerebral infarction and fracture in comparison to both the general population and to men.
Local Joint Testing Improves Power and Identifies Hidden Heritability in Association Studies
Authors: Brown Brielin C , Price Alkes L , Patsopoulos Nikolaos A , Zaitlen Noah 
Published: May 2016

Abstract
There is mounting evidence that complex human phenotypes are highly polygenic, with many loci harboring multiple causal variants, yet most genetic association studies examine each SNP in isolation. While this has led to the discovery of thousands of disease associations, discovered variants account for only a small fraction of disease heritability. Alternative multi-SNP methods have been proposed, but issues such as multiple-testing correction, sensitivity to genotyping error, and optimization for the underlying genetic architectures remain. Here we describe a local joint-testing procedure, complete with multiple-testing correction, that leverages a genetic phenomenon we call linkage masking wherein linkage disequilibrium between SNPs hides their signal under standard association methods. We show that local joint testing on the original Wellcome Trust Case Control Consortium (WTCCC) data set leads to the discovery of 22 associated loci, 5 more than the marginal approach. These loci were later found in follow-up studies containing thousands of additional individuals. We find that these loci significantly increase the heritability explained by genome-wide significant associations in the WTCCC data set. Furthermore, we show that local joint testing in a cis-expression QTL (eQTL) study of the gEUVADIS data set increases the number of genes containing significant eQTL by 10.7% over marginal analyses. Our multiple-hypothesis correction and joint-testing framework are available in a python software package called Jester, available at github.com/brielin/Jester.
Sleep and Development in Genetically Tractable Model Organisms
Authors: Kayser Matthew S , Biron David 
Published: May 2016

Abstract
Sleep is widely recognized as essential, but without a clear singular function. Inadequate sleep impairs cognition, metabolism, immune function, and many other processes. Work in genetic model systems has greatly expanded our understanding of basic sleep neurobiology as well as introduced new concepts for why we sleep. Among these is an idea with its roots in human work nearly 50 years old: sleep in early life is crucial for normal brain maturation. Nearly all known species that sleep do so more while immature, and this increased sleep coincides with a period of exuberant synaptogenesis and massive neural circuit remodeling. Adequate sleep also appears critical for normal neurodevelopmental progression. This article describes recent findings regarding molecular and circuit mechanisms of sleep, with a focus on development and the insights garnered from models amenable to detailed genetic analyses.
Efectos del cargo por confiabilidad sobre el precio spot de la energía eléctrica en Colombia
Authors: Botero Duque Juan Pablo , García John J. , Velásquez Hermilson 
Published: May 2016

Este artículo considera el efecto del cargo por confiabilidad sobre el precio spot de la energía eléctrica en Colombia, implementado en 2006 con el fin de incentivar a los generadores existentes o a los nuevos inversionistas para mejorar la confiabilidad de la prestación del servicio, lo que conduce a incrementar la capacidad instalada en el mercado de energía mayorista. Se describe el funcionamiento de este mecanismo en Colombia y se analiza el comportamiento de algunas variables estructurales en el funcionamiento de este mercado, como la relación entre la demanda comercial y la disponibilidad real, el fenómeno de El Niño y La Niña, el nivel de embalse y algunas medidas de carácter regulatorio. El precio spot presenta alta volatilidad haciendo que la especificación adecuada corresponda a un modelo de regresión con estructura ARCH. Los resultados obtenidos evidencian que el cargo por confiabilidad es estadísticamente significativo y positivo, es decir, hace que el precio spot aumente. Además, El Niño presenta un impacto positivo sobre el precio spot, debido a la gran participación hidráulica de este mercado.
