Meta-analysis of crowdsourced data compendia suggests pan-disease transcriptional signatures of autoimmunity
Authors: Lau William W. , Sparks Rachel ,   OMiCC Jamboree Working Group, Tsang John S. 
Published: December 2016

Background: The proliferation of publicly accessible large-scale biological data together with increasing availability of bioinformatics tools have the potential to transform biomedical research. Here we report a crowdsourcing Jamboree that explored whether a team of volunteer biologists without formal bioinformatics training could use OMiCC, a crowdsourcing web platform that facilitates the reuse and (meta-) analysis of public gene expression data, to compile and annotate gene expression data, and design comparisons between disease and control sample groups. Methods: The Jamboree focused on several common human autoimmune diseases, including systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), multiple sclerosis (MS), type I diabetes (DM1), and rheumatoid arthritis (RA), and the corresponding mouse models. Meta-analyses were performed in OMiCC using comparisons constructed by the participants to identify 1) gene expression signatures for each disease (disease versus healthy controls at the gene expression and biological pathway levels), 2) conserved signatures across all diseases within each species (pan-disease signatures), and 3) conserved signatures between species for each disease and across all diseases (cross-species signatures). Results: A large number of differentially expressed genes were identified for each disease based on meta-analysis, with observed overlap among diseases both within and across species. Gene set/pathway enrichment of upregulated genes suggested conserved signatures (e.g., interferon) across all human and mouse conditions. Conclusions: Our Jamboree exercise provides evidence that when enabled by appropriate tools, a "crowd" of biologists can work together to accelerate the pace by which the increasingly large amounts of public data can be reused and meta-analyzed for generating and testing hypotheses. Our encouraging experience suggests that a similar crowdsourcing approach can be used to explore other biological questions.

Published: December 2016

O estudo da cooperação internacional em matéria de prova civil não constitui novidade na seara jurídica, todavia adquire importância nos dias atuais. A cooperação jurídica internacional possibilita celeridade e minimiza a burocracia da máquina judiciária dos países. De 1951 a 2007, a Conferência da Haia de Direito Internacional Privado concluiu trinta e nove instrumentos internacionais. Dentre os textos que tiveram maior número de ratificações ou de adesões, salientam-se os que se reportam à cooperação judiciária e administrativa internacional. Dessa forma, importante seu estudo de modo a verificar se essa cooperação tem sido eficaz para a garantia dos direitos conferidos pelos documentos internacionais. Para tanto, o trabalho utiliza-se de pesquisa bibliográfica. A pesquisa constatou que as garantias estão positivadas na legislação e documentos internacionais, todavia, a efetividade destas, depende da real colaboração entre os países, minimizando burocracias, aperfeiçoando os instrumentos de coleta de provas, e observando os direitos processuais e humanos.
Transgression in Jewish Literature
Authors: Felman Jyl 
Published: December 2016

Jewish library collection policies as they relate to Jewish gay and lesbian issues are discussed. Questions considered are whether a book about gay Jews or a book written by a Jewish gay author should be included in Judaica collections. The issue is placed within a historical Jewish literary tradition which includes authors such as Grade, Ozick, Miller, Roth and Rukeyser-who write about such transgressive themes as sexuality, assimilation, self-loathing, agnostic rabbis, etc. Through personal examples drawn from her collection of Jewish short stories, Hot Chicken Wings, the author makes a case for including books with Jewish lesbian content. Also considered are the consequences of excluding such works and the ultimate arbitrariness of banning works with gay content from the Jewish library shelf.
The author also comments on the Pulitzer Prize-winning play Angels in America, written by a gay Jewish man, Tony Kushner. Even though Angels is being touted as an AIDS play, it is replete with Jewish characters, questions about assimilation, and Jewish self-loathing as exhibited by the lead character Roy Cohn. The play derives from a long tradition of Jewish avant-garde writing dealing with the nature of Jewish identity. For this reason, the author uses Angels to make a case against censoring gay themes in Judaica collections. Jewish literature throughout the ages has had a transgressive bent, and gay themes must be read in this context and viewed by Jews as legitimate literary material worthy of reading by Jewish communities.

Published: December 2016

O presente projeto tem por objetivo geral identificar o perfil da obesidade entre acadêmicos de cursos de saúde de uma instituição privada de Vitória da Conquista/BA. E como objetivo específico: identificar o perfil da má alimentação e obesidade em estudantes universitários de 18 a 25 anos, como sendo as pessoas mais interessadas e entendidas do assunto. Trata-se de uma pesquisa do tipo analítica com delineamento transversal e abordagem quantitativa, tendo uma amostra de 50 indivíduos, de cursos de saúde variados. Trabalho baseado dentro do projeto de extensão, sobre “O perfil epidemiológico da obesidade em Vitória da Conquista/BA’’, aprovado pelo Comitê de Ética em Pesquisa da FAINOR e autorizada pelo CEP. Os dados foram coletados em formulário próprio de questionário de hábitos alimentares. Para a descrição das variáveis contínuas foi utilizada a média aritmética, com seu respectivo desvio padrão e, para variáveis categóricas, número absoluto e frequência relativa. Como resultado desse trabalho evidenciou-se a prevalência de uma alimentação inadequada entre os participantes da amostra (65,5%), um grande indicie global de sobrepeso (39,6%) e obesidade (13,6%), estando bem acima dos valores encontrados na maioria das literaturas, além de uma prevalência de sobrepeso na população masculina da amostra (40,6%). Considera-se assim que os resultados desse estudo indicam a necessidade de intervenção no ambiente universitário, visto que a grande prevalência de problemas relacionados ao peso e a má alimentação tendem a proporcionar o desenvolvimento de outras patologias, influenciando na queda da qualidade de vida dos estudantes universitários, e consequentemente em seu rendimento acadêmico.

Published: December 2016

Este artigo científico centrou, através do levantamento bibliográfico, compreender a Dislexia na perspectiva psicopedagógica, para após o estudo entender como acontece a síndrome durante a infância, uma vez que a dislexia só pode ser identificada, logo que se inicia o processo de alfabetização, embora que os estudos, também, mostram que essas características podem acontecer na fase adulta, onde o individuo passou toda a sua infância-adolescência sem saber que era acometido pela dislexia. Para fundamentar o estudo, optou-se pelos levantamentos teóricos de autores que discernem sobre o assunto. O processo de aprendizagem da leitura é um fator desafiador, uma vez que ela faz parte do avanço do educando não só em língua portuguesa, mas também nas outras disciplinas, desde a simples assinatura de seu nome à construção frasal mais complexa. A não aprendizagem da leitura pelo aluno, à certo tempo, era caracterizado como aluno inapto a ler, o qual era encaminhado pelos pais e profissionais a outras atividades que não envolvessem a leitura, e taxado como “ esse menino não dá para leitura”. A descoberta da Dislexia possibilitou novos olhares para esse educando, e possibilitou uma nova forma de aprender a ler e escrever para eles. O estudo é puramente bibliográfico, sua pesquisa teórica embasou em livros, artigos e site do Google profissional da internet.

Published: December 2016

El presente artículo es resultado de una investigación presentada por el autor en 2013 para optar al título de Máster en Restauración y Conservación de Bienes Arquitectónicos y Monumentales. Refiere a un jardín con características neoclasicistas que existió en el predio de la actual Plaza O'Leary, en pleno centro histórico de Asunción, Paraguay. El objetivo fue lograr exponer simbologías y criterios de diseño del trazado original del Jardín del Mercado bajo la premisa de la necesidad de un análisis específico para lograr una interpretación adecuada, asumiendo que dicho diseño respondió, antes que a criterios funcionales, sobre todo a criterios de orden estético, simbólico y estilístico.La investigación, orientada a lo histórico y hermenéutico, permite conocer a mayor profundidad aquellas características citadas y también conocer un poco más sobre la forma de concebir el diseño del espacio público en un lugar y tiempo determinado, muy distinto a la época actual, indagando en el imaginario de autores y sus contemporáneos, los tipos de relaciones habitante/sitio, sitio/entorno y los motivos que expliquen su substitución y notable desaparición de la memoria colectiva. Finalmente, estos resultados también aportan elementos de discusión respecto de la pertinencia o no de la recuperación del diseño original.

An estimation of willingness to pay for secondary health care services in Tamil Nadu, India
Authors: Ramu K 
Published: December 2016

The present study has estimated the willingness to pay (WTP) for secondary health care services (SHCS) in rural and urban environment of three districts in the state of Tamil Nadu during 2009-2011. Since the governments are struggling to mobilise additional financial resources to provide essential health care services to the deprived population in the country, assessing the WTP for utilising the public health care services are realised as very important at this juncture. In realizing the importance of augmentation of resources, it has been decided to introduce contingent valuation method (CVM) for WTP of SHCS. A disproportionate systematic random sampling method has been adopted for the selection of 720 households; representing 240 respondents from each of the three districts represent 120 from rural and 120 from urban. A major portion (92%) of the surveyed respondents’ gender was male, literacy was high (90%) and they belonged to productive age group. They generally involve themselves in the farm and non - farm activities and avail employment. Their per capita income is Rs.17871, and it is lower than the India’s PCI. The SHCS are classified into 26 categories as per the guidelines provided by public health medical officers in the state of Tamil Nadu. The different health care services started with entry fee to dental problem. The 98.6 per cent of the total surveyed respondents are ready to pay for SHCS in a public hospital and the remaining 2.4 per cent of them are not willing to pay for the same. The range of WTP for 26 SHCS is Rs. 2 - 7000; the range of mean value is Rs. 6 - 5008 and the range of SD is 2 - 2854. Considering the view of majority of the respondents, this study prescribes to introduce the range of user fee for the identified major public health care services. Since the range is differed significantly, it is suggested to follow the minimum amount initially and in a phased manner, the policy makers may prescribe to enhance the user fee after assessing the ground realities and loopholes. The estimated R2 value for SHCS is 20 per cent, which indicates that the selected 12 independent variables have low influence on WTP for SHCS. The study reports that the other exogenous factors like intensity of disease, accessibility of services, quality, urgency, need and perception are the predominant determinants of WTP for SHCS. The present research contends that constitution of district level co-ordination committee for fixing and implementing user fee for SHCS. Introduction of nominal fee (user fee) for SHCS may be fixed for affordable population, free services for BPL population and it would improve the efficiency and equity of the public health care services for the marginalised population. Finally, it is of utmost importance for health professionals to follow ethics in their profession.
Corporate Tax Reform and “Value Creation”: Towards Unfettered Diagonal Re-allocation across the Global Inequality Chain
Authors: Quentin David 
Published: December 2016

Abstract
Discussion of corporate tax reform loosely uses concepts like “value creation” and “economic substance” as a basis for systematic departures from the tax outcomes that would otherwise eventuate from computational artifacts based on price, but in fact mainstream economics does not have a theory of value creation as distinct from computational artifacts based on price. Corporate tax reform discourse is therefore an unacknowledged exercise in heterodox value theory. This article deploys global value chain theory to question a key assumption in that exercise; the assumption that while intra-group pricing may be modified or ignored for the purposes of reallocating the corporate tax base between jurisdictions for corporate tax purposes, prices arrived at between entities not under common control are sacrosanct. The article proceeds to deploy an expanded version of the global value chain analytic, the “global inequality chain”, to (i) investigate this question using a schematic illustrative case study based around Amazon’s UK/Luxembourg structuring, and (ii) to develop the beginnings of a concept of “unitary taxation by formulary apportionment of the entire value chain”, which would enable unfettered “diagonal” re-allocations across the space which the global inequality chain describes.
The Contribution Of E. Taquet, H. Shirasawa And J. Unger To The Introduction Of Woody Plants To Průhonice
Authors: Tábor Ivo 
Published: December 2016

Abstract
The activities of the Dendrological Society in Průhonice have significantly influenced the introduction of woody plants into the territory of today‘s Czech Republic. This is evidenced by a significant handwritten document – The Register of plants of the Dendrological Society that records the introduction period between 1909 and 1924 (10,050 items). The collections of seeds (plants) from E. Taquet, H. Shirasawa and J. Unger played an important role in the introduction of woody plants to Průhonice with over 157 taxa of woody plants from their collections being introduced between 1909 and 1912. From the total number of 157 taxa, 80 items were introduced to Průhonice before anywhere in the Czech lands. This work aims to provide a new knowledge acquired from studying the above-mentioned document, about the time and place of these introductions. A significant part of this work is a detailed overview of the particular woody species introduced to Průhonice.

Published: December 2016

Abstract
The production of sweet corn has been increased recently. It is a very delicious vegetable species with wide variety assortment. Nowadays, new varieties which come to markets are characterized by improved properties, higher sugar content and their stability in storage. Thus, it is necessary to know basic variety parameters for better orientation in wide corn assortment. According to earliness, sweet corn varieties were classified to following groups: very early or early (RISING SUN F1; 874 F1; SF 1073 F1; SF 583 F1); middle-late (SF 681 F1; 1027 F1; ASTRONAUT F1); late (GALAXY F1; SPACE SHIP F1) and very late (MATADOR F1). The day number from tassel anthesis to harvest is an important parameter of sweet corn for potential grower and its lowest value was found at variety RISING SUN F1. On the basis of gained results, we classified all evaluated varieties to the group of super-sweet corn (sh-2) with slow decline of sugar content and storage possibility in cold conditions from 4 to 7 days after harvest. The sugar content of sweet corn is a parameter having important role for purchase by consumers. The variety had statistically significant impact to the sugar content and its highest value was determined at variety 874 F1.

A thermodynamic discourse on the dissolution behavior of bioactive glasses
Authors: Pföss Barbara , Conradt Reinhard 
Published: December 2016

AbstractThe interaction between bioactive glass and body fluid is crucial for the special properties of this material, therefore a large number of experimental data is available in literature. However, a frame for systematic interpretation of these results in terms of understanding the mechanisms at the interface between glass and body medium and the relation between glass composition and dissolution behavior is still missing. For two multicomponent bioactive glasses, 45S5 and 13-93, the Gibbs energies of the glassy material on one side and their aqueous system on the other side were calculated individually. The difference between solid material and aqueous system further constitutes the pH dependent Gibbs energy of hydration, ∆Ghydr. The impact of glass compositions and glassy or crystalline state on ∆Ghydr is demonstrated referring to chemical durability. Along considerations regarding the aqueous system, the thermodynamic calculations proof the precipitation of hydroxyapatite inwater and simulated body fluid for a systemcontaining P2O5 and Ca2+. In the course of deriving the Gibbs energies for bioactive glass compositions via constitutional compounds, bioactive behavior is discussed from the point of coexisting equilibrium phases in the system of Na2O-CaO-SiO2.

Published: December 2016

AbstractRecently, sol-gel derived borate glasses (BGs) have shown unprecedented conversion rates to bone-like mineral (hydroxycarbonated apatite). In an effort to explore their potential applications in bone tissue engineering, this study reports on the fabrication and characterization of BG particle incorporated electrospun "- polycaprolactone (PCL) fibrous composites. The electrospinning technique successfully incorporated PCL fibres with BG particles at 2.5 and 5 w/v%, with the higher BG loading creating a three-dimensional cotton-wool like morphology. Dynamic vapour sorption showed greater extents of mass change with BG content attributable to water sorption, and indicating greater reactivity in the composite systems. In vitro bioactivity was investigated in simulated body fluid for up to 7 days. Scanning electron microscopy, Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy and xray diffraction indicated apatite formation in the 5 w/v% incorporated composite scaffold, which initiated as early as day 3. In summary, sol-gel derived BGs incorporatedfibrous electrospun PCL composites indicate rapid reactivity and bioactivity with potential applications in mineralized tissue engineering.
