Aminoacyl tRNA Synthetase–­Interacting Multifunctional Protein 1 Activates NK Cells via Macrophages In Vitro and In Vivo
Authors: Kim Myun Soo , Song Ju Han , Cohen Edward P. , Cho Daeho , Kim Tae Sung 
Published: April 2017

AbstractAminoacyl tRNA synthetase–interacting multifunctional protein 1 (AIMP1) has been reported to have antitumor effects in various tumor models. However, mechanisms by which AIMP1 ameliorates tumorigenesis are not well understood. As NK cells are a major cell type involved in antitumor activities and AIMP1 is known to activate professional APCs, we determined whether AIMP1 induced NK cell activation directly or via these APCs. AIMP1 induced the expression of surface activation markers on murine NK cells in total splenocytes, although AIMP1 did not directly induce these activation markers of NK cells. The inductive effect of AIMP1 on NK cell activation disappeared in macrophage-depleted splenocytes, indicating that macrophages were required for the AIMP1-induced activation of NK cells. Furthermore, coculture experiments showed that AIMP1 activated NK cells in the presence of isolated macrophages, but failed to activate NK cells when cultured alone or with dendritic cells or B cells. Although AIMP1 significantly promoted TNF-α production by macrophages, the secreted TNF-α partially affected the NK cell activation. Transwell cocultivation analysis revealed that direct contact between macrophages and NK cells was required for the AIMP1-induced NK cell activation. In addition, AIMP1 significantly enhanced cytotoxicity of NK cells against Yac-1 cells. Furthermore, the in vivo administration of AIMP1 also induced NK cell activation systemically with a macrophage-dependent manner. Importantly, AIMP1 dramatically reduced the lung metastasis of melanoma cells, which was mediated by NK cells. Taken together, our results show that AIMP1 induces antitumor responses by NK cell activation mainly via macrophages.

Abstract
Dengue is a global public health problem and is caused by four dengue virus (DENV) serotypes (DENV1-4). A major challenge in dengue vaccine development is that cross-reactive anti-DENV Abs can be protective or potentially increase disease via Ab-dependent enhancement. DENV nonstructural protein 1 (NS1) has long been considered a vaccine candidate as it avoids Ab-dependent enhancement. In this study, we evaluated survival to challenge in a lethal DENV vascular leak model in mice immunized with NS1 combined with aluminum and magnesium hydroxide, monophosphoryl lipid A + AddaVax, or Sigma adjuvant system+CpG DNA, compared with mice infected with a sublethal dose of DENV2 and mice immunized with OVA (negative control). We characterized Ab responses to DENV1, 2, and 3 NS1 using an Ag microarray tiled with 20-mer peptides overlapping by 15 aa and identified five regions of DENV NS1 with significant levels of Ab reactivity in the NS1 + monophosphoryl lipid A + AddaVax group. Additionally, we profiled the Ab responses to NS1 of humans naturally infected with DENV2 or DENV3 in serum samples from Nicaragua collected at acute, convalescent, and 12-mo timepoints. One region in the wing domain of NS1 was immunodominant in both mouse vaccination and human infection studies, and two regions were identified only in NS1-immunized mice; thus, vaccination can generate Abs to regions that are not targeted in natural infection and could provide additional protection against lethal DENV infection. Overall, we identified a small number of immunodominant regions, which were in functionally important locations on the DENV NS1 protein and are potential correlates of protection.
Effect of Self-Listening on Self-Evaluation Accuracy

Published: April 2017

Abstract
The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of self-listening on self-evaluation accuracy. Twenty-six undergraduate musicians self-evaluated their individual performances of a musical excerpt. Volunteer participants were randomly assigned to the experimental group or the control group. The experimental group members listened to the audio playback of their self-recorded performance before self-evaluating, while control group members did not. Both groups read information about self-evaluation before scoring their performances. Participants’ self-evaluations were compared to the mean scores of a panel of expert judges to determine the accuracy of the self-evaluations. The panel of judges listened to the recordings of the individual performances before completing assessments. The participants and the judges used a researcher-modified version of the Woodwind Brass Solo Evaluation Form to assess the individual performances. Self-accuracy was calculated as the absolute difference between students’ self-scores and the mean of the three judges’ scores; a small absolute difference indicated high self-evaluation accuracy. For purposes of data analyses, the 2 groups (self-listening and nonlistening) served as the independent variable, and the total self-evaluation accuracy score served as the dependent variable. A one-way, between subjects ANOVA revealed no main effect for treatment group on total self-evaluation accuracy, F(1, 24) = 3.08, p = .09, η2 = .11.

AbstractIntroduction: Although individual HIV rapid diagnostic tests (RDTs) show good performance in evaluations conducted by WHO, reports from several African countries highlight potentially significant performance issues. Despite widespread use of RDTs for HIV diagnosis in resource‐constrained settings, there has been no systematic, head‐to‐head evaluation of their accuracy with specimens from diverse settings across sub‐Saharan Africa. We conducted a standardized, centralized evaluation of eight HIV RDTs and two simple confirmatory assays at a WHO collaborating centre for evaluation of HIV diagnostics using specimens from six sites in five sub‐Saharan African countries.Methods: Specimens were transported to the Institute of Tropical Medicine (ITM), Antwerp, Belgium for testing. The tests were evaluated by comparing their results to a state‐of‐the‐art reference algorithm to estimate sensitivity, specificity and predictive values.Results: 2785 samples collected from August 2011 to January 2015 were tested at ITM. All RDTs showed very high sensitivity, from 98.8% for First Response HIV Card Test 1–2.0 to 100% for Determine HIV 1/2, Genie Fast, SD Bioline HIV 1/2 3.0 and INSTI HIV‐1/HIV‐2 Antibody Test kit. Specificity ranged from 90.4% for First Response to 99.7% for HIV 1/2 STAT‐PAK with wide variation based on the geographical origin of specimens. Multivariate analysis showed several factors were associated with false‐positive results, including gender, provider‐initiated testing and the geographical origin of specimens. For simple confirmatory assays, the total sensitivity and specificity was 100% and 98.8% for ImmunoComb II HIV 12 CombFirm (ImmunoComb) and 99.7% and 98.4% for Geenius HIV 1/2 with indeterminate rates of 8.9% and 9.4%.Conclusions: In this first systematic head‐to‐head evaluation of the most widely used RDTs, individual RDTs performed more poorly than in the WHO evaluations: only one test met the recommended thresholds for RDTs of ≥99% sensitivity and ≥98% specificity. By performing all tests in a centralized setting, we show that these differences in performance cannot be attributed to study procedure, end‐user variation, storage conditions, or other methodological factors. These results highlight the existence of geographical and population differences in individual HIV RDT performance and underscore the challenges of designing locally validated algorithms that meet the latest WHO‐recommended thresholds.

AbstractIntroduction: Multi‐disease community health campaigns can be effective for population‐wide HIV testing in a research setting (SEARCH: NCT01864603). We sought to evaluate feasibility and uptake of a community‐led health campaign (CLHC) planned and implemented by village leaders and local clinic workers in Uganda.Methods: Over five months in 2014, locally elected village leaders and Ministry of Health (MoH) clinic staff in a rural parish in Uganda planned a census followed by a CLHC, after training by two SEARCH trial consultants and by leaders from a neighbouring parish that had previously participated in a SEARCH health campaign. We defined feasibility as: (1) elected leaders’ participation in training and implementation of pre‐campaign census and mobilization activities; (2) implementation of all campaign activities by MoH‐funded, local clinic staff; and (3) community participation in the campaign, including point‐of‐care screening for HIV, malaria, hypertension and diabetes, and same‐day referral for male circumcision and family planning (FP). Costing of all salaries and supplies was conducted.Results: Elected leaders from all eight villages in the parish participated in CLHC training. They and local clinic staff met monthly to select and plan CLHC services. Village leaders then leveraged existing volunteer health teams to perform a door‐to‐door census, enumerating 5,202 parish residents over 2 weeks. 2,753 (53%) residents participated in the 6‐day CLHC. Of 1,584 adult participants, 1,474 (93%) tested for HIV: 105/1,474 (7.1%) tested HIV positive. 27% (751/2,753) of participants reported fever and underwent malaria rapid diagnostic testing: 5.3% (40/751) tested positive. Among adults screened, 19% (271/1,452) were hypertensive, and 3% (18/637) had a random blood sugar >11.1 mmol/L. Of 805 men and boys (>10 years), 91 (11%) accepted same‐day clinic referral and underwent medical circumcision. Of 900 women offered same‐day long‐term FP referrals, 25 accepted. The CLHC cost, including census, mobilization and testing services, was $23,597 ($8.57/participant).Conclusions: Elected village leaders successfully planned and conducted a 6‐day multi‐disease health campaign with service provision by local clinic staff that reached over half of a rural Ugandan community. These data suggest it is feasible for local leaders and clinics to adopt a multi‐disease health campaign approach to scale‐up HIV testing in rural Africa.
EDUCAÇÃO SUPERIOR E CAPITAL: QUAIS INFLUÊNCIAS? QUAIS CONSEQUÊNCIAS?
Authors: Souza Andreliza Cristina 
Published: April 2017

<p align="right">Este ensaio tem por objetivo subsidiar as reflexões sobre a relação existente entre capital, trabalho e educação superior. As questões fundamentais que norteiam a discussão são: qual o papel que a educação superior tem representado no atual contexto da sociedade capitalista? Como é possível pensar uma educação superior para além dos interesses do capital? Na primeira parte do trabalho fazemos uma discussão sobre a educação superior no contexto da sociedade capitalista, em seguida realizamos alguns apontamentos sobre como é possível pensar em uma educação para além dos interesses do capital. Entendemos que o advento do capitalismo e da sociedade de classes atribuiu novos sentidos à educação, sendo que a educação superior se tornou o espaço onde a cultura e os conhecimentos são transmitidos conforme as necessidades produtivas, mantendo e alimentando o sistema capitalista. É nesse contexto contraditório das relações sociais que pretendemos estabelecer uma breve reflexão sobre o tema.</p><p align="left"> </p>

DA TEORIA DA HISTÓRIA A HISTÓRIA DA TEORIA: A TOTALIDADE DO TRABALHO NA DIALÉTICA MARXISTA

<p> </p><p>O que aparentemente pode ser confundido como um conceito entre tantos outros da vasta epistemologia marxista corresponde à categoria central do Método correto. É essa a tese que se esboça nessa reflexão acerca da categoria trabalho. Portanto, trata-se do esforço de demonstrar como a teoria da história fora fundamental para a síntese construída por Marx ao compreender o homem como totalidade histórica, o processo produtivo como motor da vida coletiva, o modo de produção capitalista como a contradição em processo e a práxis como o fundante do materialismo dialético (teoria da sociedade). Nesse sentido busca-se no itinerário da dialética materialista elementos que permitam entender como Marx arranca da realidade a categoria trabalho. </p>

AbstractIntense zonal ion velocity jets in the northern nightside auroral zone are measured during quiet geomagnetic conditions by the Swarm satellites around 500 km altitude. These velocity jets, exceeding 1 km/s in over 50% of orbits measured, range from 20 to 100 km in meridional thickness and reach a maximum at the boundary between upward and downward field‐aligned current. On average they represent a potential difference of approximately 3 kV between the R1/R2 currents. This boundary also separates different regions of electron temperature and meridional flow and is associated with ion upflows and anisotropic heating. Both dawnward and duskward velocity jets are observed, including some oppositely directed pairs bounding regions of upward field‐aligned current. Coincident ground‐based observations place ion velocity jets adjacent to auroral arcs, embedded in the auroral electrojets. Previous literature has focused on fast flows occurring in regions of relative low conductivity surrounding auroral arcs, typically during geomagnetically active conditions, and does not address the occurrence frequency of these events. We show ion velocity jets to be a persistent and ubiquitous property of the electrodynamics of quiet time R1/R2 current closure near midnight in the winter hemisphere.
Gas transfer velocities in small forested ponds

Published: April 2017

AbstractInland waters actively exchange gases with the atmosphere, and the gas exchange rate informs system biogeochemistry, ecology, and global carbon budgets. Gas exchange in medium‐ to large‐sized lakes is largely regulated by wind; yet less is known about processes regulating gas transfer in small ponds where wind speeds are low. In this study, we determined the gas transfer velocity, k600, in four small (<250 m2) ponds by using a propane (C3H8) gas injection. When estimated across 12 h periods, the average k600 ranged from 0.19 to 0.72 m d−1 across the ponds. We also estimated k600 at 2 to 3 h intervals during the day and evaluated the relationship with environmental conditions. The average daytime k600 ranged from 0.33 to 1.83 m d−1 across the ponds and was best predicted by wind speed and air or air‐water temperature; however, the explanatory power was weak (R2 < 0.27) with high variability within and among ponds. To compare our results to larger water bodies, we compiled direct measurements of k600 from 67 ponds and lakes worldwide. Our k600 estimates were within the range of estimates for other small ponds, and variability in k600 increased with lake size. However, the majority of studies were conducted on medium‐sized lakes (0.01 to 1 km2), leaving small ponds and large lakes understudied. Overall, this study adds four small ponds to the existing body of research on gas transfer velocities from inland waters and highlights uncertainty in k600, with implications for calculating metabolism and carbon emissions in inland waters.
Little impact of the Three Gorges Dam on recent decadal lake decline across China's Yangtze Plain
Authors: Wang Jida , Sheng Yongwei , Wada Yoshihide 
Published: April 2017

AbstractThe ubiquitous lakes across China's Yangtze Plain (YP) are indispensable freshwater resources sustaining ecosystems and socioeconomics for nearly half a billion people. Our recent survey revealed a widespread net decline in the total YP lake inundation area during 2000–2011 (a cumulative decrease of ∼10%), yet its mechanism remained contentious. Here we uncover the impacts of climate variability and anthropogenic activities including (i) Yangtze flow and sediment alterations by the Three Gorges Dam (TGD) and (ii) human water consumption in agricultural, industrial, and domestic sectors throughout the downstream Yangtze Basin. Results suggest that climate variability is the dominant driver of this decadal lake decline, whereas studied human activities, despite varying seasonal impacts that peak in fall, contribute marginal fraction (∼10–20% or less) to the interannual lake area decrease. Given that the TGD impacts on the total YP lake area and its seasonal variation are both under ∼5%, we also dismiss the speculation that the TGD might be responsible for evident downstream climate change by altering lake surface extent and thus open water evaporation. Nevertheless, anthropogenic impacts exhibited a strengthening trend during the past decade. Although the TGD has reached its full‐capacity water regulation, the negative impacts of human water consumption and TGD‐induced net channel erosion, which are already comparable to that of TGD's flow regulation, may continue to grow as crucial anthropogenic factors to future YP lake conservation.
A shallow water table fluctuation model in response to precipitation with consideration of unsaturated gravitational flow
Authors: Jeong Jina , Park Eungyu 
Published: April 2017

AbstractA precise estimation of groundwater fluctuation is studied by considering delayed recharge flux (DRF) and unsaturated zone drainage (UZD). Both DRF and UZD are due to gravitational flow impeded in the unsaturated zone, which may nonnegligibly affect groundwater level changes. In the validation, a previous model without the consideration of unsaturated flow is benchmarked. The model is calibrated using multiyear groundwater data, and consistent model parameter statistics are obtained and validated. The estimation capability of the new model is superior to the benchmarked model as indicated by the significantly improved representation of groundwater level with physically interpretable model parameters.
