In situ hybridization-based detection of microRNAs in human diseases
Authors: Zhang Xinna , Lu Xiongbin , Lopez-Berestein Gabriel , Sood Anil K. , Calin George 
Published: July 2013

AbstractMicroRNAs (miRNAs) are small non-coding RNAs that regulate various aspects of gene expression in physiology and development. Links between miRNAs and the initiation and progression of human diseases are becoming increasingly apparent. The development of methods to detect the subcellular and tissue localization of miRNAs is essential for understanding their biological role in homeostasis. In this review, we discuss how in situ hybridization can complement tissuelevel miRNA expression profiling and its role as an investigational tool to better understand the etiology of human diseases. Furthermore, in situ hybridization of miRNAs represents a potent diagnostic assay that could be further refined and utilized for clinical applications.

Distribution and Habitat of the Malaysian Species of Lejeunea (Marchantiophyta: Lejeuneaceae), with Description of Lejeunea Tamaspocsii Sp. Nov.
Authors: Ee Lee Gaik , Gradstein S. Robbert 
Published: July 2013

AbstractWe analyze the geographical and elevational ranges and the habitats of 30 species and two varieties of Lejeunea Lib. recorded from Malaysia. The greatest diversity of Lejeunea in Malaysia is found on Mt. Kinabalu with 27 species. The majority of the species are Malesian in distribution with a high number (8) belonging to the West Malesian element. Widely distributed species are often autoicous and produce spores freely; those with narrow distributions are more often dioicous and rarely produce spores. Dispersal of dioicous species seems to be promoted by asexual reproduction, being more common in wide-ranging dioicous species than in narrow-ranging ones. Endemism is 10% with three species being known only from Mt. Kinabalu. Range sizes of species decrease towards higher elevation and endemic species occur exclusively in the mountains. About half of the species occur in the lower montane rainforest belt, which is the elevational zone with the highest diversity of Lejeunea in Malaysia. The majority of the species are epiphytes, either corticolous or ramicolous. One species (L. dimorpha) is an obligate epiphyll. The new species Lejeunea tamaspocsii G. E. Lee is described and two new combinations, L. dipterota (Eifrig) G. E. Lee and L. exilis var. abnormis (Herzog) G. E. Lee, are proposed.
A New Terrestrial Genus and Species Within the Aquatic Liverwort Family Riellaceae (Sphaerocarpales) from Australia
Authors: Cargill D. Christine , Milne Josephine 
Published: July 2013

AbstractA new genus Austroriella Cargill & Milne and species Austroriella salta Milne & Cargill within the family Riellaceae is described. Known only from the type location at the margins of a saline lake in Western Australia it is the first record and description of a terrestrial species within this typically aquatic family. Female plants are typical of the family with a single reduced wing bearing a row of archegonia; male plants are not typical and are naviculate in form enclosing several rows of enclosed antheridia not unlike the males of Sphaerocarpos. Unlike Sphaerocarpos this species does bear oil bodies. Differences and affinities are also outlined briefly with closely related genera within the order Sphaerocarpales.

Jubula Hutchinsiae Subsp. Caucasica Konstant. & Vilnet (Marchantiophyta: Jubulaceae) – New for the Bryophyte Flora of Iran and Turkey
Authors: Kürschner Harald 
Published: July 2013

AbstractJubula hutchinsiae (Hook.) Dumort. forms a complex of notoriously difficult intraspecific taxa, recorded from Southwest Asia as J. hutchinsiae subsp. javanica (Steph.) Verd. A re-examination of the Iranian and Turkish records indicates that they belong to the recently described J. hutchinsiae subsp. caucasica Konstant. and Vilnet, which seem to be restricted to the broadleaved deciduous forests of the Euxine-Caucasian-Hyrcanian floral province.

Published: July 2013

AbstractDominican amber is an important source for Early Miocene bryophytes. We report the moss Macromitrium richardii Schwägr., an extant representative of the Orthotrichaceae, from the Dominican amber collection of the American Museum of Natural History. This species is currently a widespread Neotropical epiphyte. The specimen includes several gametophytes and sporophytes, and represents the first fossil record of Orthotrichaceae. Alongside the Macromitrium shoots we observed several fragments of the liverworts Cheilolejeunea antiqua and Frullania sp. The unusual thermal behavior of the resin sample initially led to doubts about the Miocene age of the specimen, but chemical analyses of the Hymenaea resin provides evidence that the specimen represents a highly oxidized sample of Miocene Dominican amber rather than an artificially thermally-treated subfossil resin (copal). Our inclusion demonstrates the exceptional preservation potential of tree resin, but our observations also suggest that provenance (including any possibility that a modern resin has been thermally treated to make it appear older) should be scrutinized when single pieces with atypical thermal behavior and exceptionally well-preserved extant morphotypes come to light.
Brachymenium Regnellii and Bryum Leptotorquescens (Bryaceae) New to Suriname
Authors: Allen Bruce 
Published: July 2013

Abstract The previously Brazilian endemic species, Brachymenium regnellii Hampe, has been found in Suriname. It is a member of sect. Rostrata Ochi, distinguished from all other members of that section in Suriname by its percurrent costae. Brachymenium Schwägr. is characterized by the sporophytic features of: erect to suberect capsules; conic-apiculate to short-beaked opercula; and diplolepideous peristomes with narrow, densely papillose exostome teeth and greatly reduced endostomes. Bryum leptotorquescens Müll. Hal ex Broth., previously known from Mexico to western South America, and tropical Africa is reported from Suriname. It differs from other similar mosses in Suriname by the combination of weakly developed leaf borders; strongly decurrent leaves; and costae in cross section with well-developed stereid bands. Bryum billarderei Schwägr. is the correct spelling of that often mis-spelled name.

Paul, l'universel et la question du symbolique
Authors: Marty Éric 
Published: July 2013

Après avoir posé que le christianisme de Paul est moins l’émergence de la catégorie de l’histoire mais plutôt celle d’un discours métahistorique, notre propos est de mettre en évidence que la « rupture chrétienne » n’a pas aboli les questions posées par l’universel juif et cela au cœur même de la pensée occidentale, principalement dans le champ du discours de la modernité, et plus précisément dans l’émergence, au sein de la révolution structuraliste, du concept d’activité symbolique. Pour les modernes (Lévi-Strauss, Lacan, Althusser, Barthes...) le seul universel, c’est le « symbolique ». On peut même définir l’entreprise moderne comme posant l’équation entre l’universel et le symbolique comme une machine de guerre contre l’universel mimétique qui apparaît comme le propre d’un universel mystifié. Parmi tant d’exemples possibles, nous privilégions la lecture par Lacan de la fonction symbolique de la circoncision, contre Paul et contre Freud...
Milarepa ou l'homme universel
Authors: Füzesséry Éva 
Published: July 2013

Enfants du xx e siècle, nos esprits sont profondément marqués par les idéologies totalitaires ou racistes bafouant les droits de l’homme. Le colloque traitant de l’universel et de la diversité contribue à susciter un élan, à partir de ce forum à l’Unesco, contre la soumission aux dieux obscurs pour « ameuter la vie » (Artaud). La dépression, symptôme majeur de la société occidentale, ne vient-elle pas justement du sentiment d’impuissance face à ce réel où l’homme a perdu sa place ? Que peut apporter l’Orient à Occident désenchanté en pleine crise pour reconquérir une place plus humaine dans le monde actuel ? La philosophie hindouiste, plusieurs fois millénaire, énonce, dans ses fondements, l’universel devoir pour chaque homme : advenir. Il devient ainsi cocréateur de l’univers en mouvance et doit parfaire sa propre création. Notre intervention propose des repères à ce cheminement, sous le trait de l’Avidya, l’Ignorance – ce « je n’en veux rien savoir » énoncé par Lacan – ou l’Illusion à traverser, sous le prisme de l’histoire fabuleuse de Milarepa, de la tradition bouddhiste tibétaine de Vajrayana, inspirée de l’hindouisme.
The global financial crisis and the shift to shadow banking
Authors: Nersisyan Yeva , Wray L. Randall 
Published: July 2013

While most economists agree that the world is facing the worst economic crisis since the Great Depression, there is little agreement as to what caused it. Some have argued that the financial instability we are witnessing is due to irrational exuberance of market participants, fraud, greed, too much regulation, etc. However, some post-Keynesian economists following Minsky have argued that this is a systemic problem, a result of internal market processes that allowed fragility to build over time. In this paper we focus on the shift to the ›shadow banking system‹ and the creation of what Minsky called the Money Manager phase of capitalism. In this system, rapid growth of leverage and financial layering allows the financial sector to claim an ever rising proportion of national income – what is sometimes called ›financialization‹ – as the financial system evolved from hedge to speculative and finally to a Ponzi scheme.
The policy response to the financial crisis in the US and elsewhere has largely been an attempt to rescue money manager capitalism. Moreover, in the case of the US the bailout policy has contributed to further concentration of the financial sector, increasing dangers. We believe that the policies directed at saving the system are doomed to fail – and that alternative policies should be adopted. The effective solution should come in the way of downsizing the financial sector by two-thirds or more, and effecting fundamental modifications.
TTF-1 and Napsin A Do Not Differentiate Metastatic Lung Adenocarcinomas From Primary Esophageal Adenocarcinomas: Proposal of a Novel Staining Panel
Authors: Aulakh Kanwaijit S. , Chisholm Cary D. , Smith Daniel A , Speights V.O 
Published: July 2013

Context.—When adenocarcinomas arise within the esophagus, particularly when located away from the gastroesophageal junction, it may be important in some patients to differentiate between a primary esophageal adenocarcinoma and metastasis from another site. Lung adenocarcinoma is one tumor that has been reported to frequently metastasize to the esophagus.Objectives.—To create a panel of immunohistochemical markers that can reliably distinguish between an esophageal and pulmonary primary; within the gastrointestinal pathology literature, including published articles and textbooks, common lung immunohistochemical markers, such as TTF-1, are assumed to be negative in esophageal adenocarcinoma, yet, to our knowledge, no study has yet investigated the veracity of that presumption.Design.—In this study, 24 cases each of pulmonary and esophageal adenocarcinomas were stained with TTF-1, napsin A, CDX2, 34βE12, N-cadherin, and IMP3 in an attempt to define an optimal panel for differentiation. Esophageal adenocarcinomas occurring at the gastroesophageal junction were excluded in this study because a gastric primary tumor cannot be excluded in those cases.Results.—Surprisingly, TTF-1 and napsin A were positive in similar proportions of tumors from both sites. Those markers that differentiated statistically between esophageal and pulmonary adenocarcinoma were IMP3, CDX2, and N-cadherin.Conclusions.—When differentiating the origin of a tumor as either esophageal or pulmonary, an immunohistochemical panel consisting of IMP3, CDX2, and N-cadherin is superior to either TTF-1 or napsin A.
La posibilidad de la justicia global. Sobre los límites de la concepción estadocéntrica y las probabilidades de un cosmopolitismo débil
Authors: Cortés Rodas Francisco 
Published: July 2013

This paper presents objections to the critique of cosmopolitanism made by Rawls and Nagel who defend a concept of justice in which justice and sovereignty are closely related. The first part presents Rawls’s rhetorical strategy which is opposed to the cosmopolitan idea of transforming the international order based on the demands of global economic justice. The second part covers Nagel’s position which is opposed to the idea of global justice. The final section introduces Christina Lafont’s presentation of a model of international policy that is geared toward justice in a global context.
Memory for Sexual and Nonsexual Television Commercials as a Function of Viewing Context and Viewer Gender
Authors: Leka Jona , McClelland Alastair , Furnham Adrian 
Published: July 2013

SummaryThe present study investigated memory for sexual and nonsexual commercials as a function of programme‐commercial congruity and programme‐induced level of involvement. Participants were allocated to one of four conditions: sexual programme with sexual or nonsexual commercials and nonsexual programme with sexual or nonsexual commercials. Recall and involvement levels were tested with a series of memory tests and programme ratings. It was predicted that sexual advertisements would be recalled and recognised better overall, that the sexual programme context would impair memory for commercials, and that level of involvement with the programme would inversely correlate with recall and recognition of the commercials and their content. Recall of sexual advertisements was found to be better than for nonsexual advertisements, and subjective ratings of programme involvement were higher for the sexual programme. Neither the perceived involvement level nor programme type affected memory for the commercials overall, but men were shown to remember sexual advertisements better than nonsexual advertisements—particularly when the sexual advertisements were embedded in a sexual programme. Women were equally good at remembering sexual and nonsexual advertisements. Implications of the current results and suggestions for future research are discussed.

Altitude effects on growth of indigenous children in Oaxaca, Southern Mexico
Authors: Little Bertis B. , Malina Robert M. , Pena Reyes Maria Eugenia , Bali Chavez Guillermo 
Published: July 2013

ABSTRACTThe effect of altitude of residence on the growth status of 11,454 indigenous school children 6–14 years of age in Oaxaca, southern Mexico, was examined. Indicators of living conditions (human development index [HDI], index of community nutritional risk [INR], index of marginalization [IM], index of relative isolation [II]) were regressed on z‐scores for height, weight and BMI, and the residuals were regressed on altitude of residence (km). Independent of other environmental conditions, altitude negatively affected height by approximately −0.07 z‐scores per kilometer altitude above sea level. The estimated average decrease in stature was 0.92 cm per kilometer elevation. BMI was significantly increased, 1.2 units per kilometer elevation, consistent with earlier studies of growth status and altitude. In contrast, weight was not affected by altitude of residence. Approximately 36% of the reduction in height and 54% of the increase in BMI were due to altitude effects; the remaining changes in height and BMI were associated with environmental factors reflected in the indices of community well‐being considered.

Instrumental social support and women's body composition in El Alto, Bolivia
Authors: Hicks Kathryn 
Published: July 2013

ABSTRACTInstrumental social support, or aid in the form of labor or money, may exert a positive influence on economic welfare and food security. Several investigators have found a positive relationship between social support and nutritional status, while others have found a negative association between social support and central adiposity. In the rural Andes, extra‐household economic cooperation has long been an important adaptive strategy, and the breakdown of these relationships is one reason for high rates of rural‐to‐urban migration, including to the Bolivian city of El Alto. This research investigates the influence of instrumental support on women's body composition. Information was collected on individual perception of instrumental support and anthropometric indicators of nutritional status including percent body fat (bioelectrical impedance analysis (BIA)), BMI, and distribution of fat on trunk relative to limbs (Ratio of subscapular to triceps skinfold (STR)), and multiple linear regression analysis used to test the prediction that instrumental social support is positively related to body fat stores. Controlling for age and household socioeconomic status, perceived access to one or more sources of instrumental support was positively and significantly related to overall levels of adiposity. There is no evidence that STR mediates the relationship between instrumental social support and body composition. This analysis offers support for the prediction that economic social support has direct effects on women's energy stores. The interpretation of these results is somewhat ambiguous given the high levels of overweight and obesity in this population. Am J Phys Anthropol 152:51–57, 2013. © 2013 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
Paleodemographic age‐at‐death distributions of two Mexican skeletal collections: A comparison of transition analysis and traditional aging methods
Authors: Bullock Meggan , Márquez Lourdes , Hernández Patricia , Ruíz Fernando 
Published: July 2013

ABSTRACTTraditional methods of aging adult skeletons suffer from the problem of age mimicry of the reference collection, as described by Bocquet‐Appel and Masset (1982). Transition analysis (Boldsen et al., 2002) is a method of aging adult skeletons that addresses the problem of age mimicry of the reference collection by allowing users to select an appropriate prior probability. In order to evaluate whether transition analysis results in significantly different age estimates for adults, the method was applied to skeletal collections from Postclassic Cholula and Contact‐Period Xochimilco. The resulting age‐at‐death distributions were then compared with age‐at‐death distributions for the two populations constructed using traditional aging methods. Although the traditional aging methods result in age‐at‐death distributions with high young adult mortality and few individuals living past the age of 50, the age‐at‐death distributions constructed using transition analysis indicate that most individuals who lived into adulthood lived past the age of 50.

Published: July 2013

ABSTRACTThe development of superabsorbent hydrogels (SHs) is a very important issue in both academic and industrial fields because of their applications in several technologies. The impressive number of publications dealing with SH confirms this statement: a quick search in the ISI (Web of Science) database under the words superabsorbent hydrogels revealed more than 600 articles published, with about 80% of those published in last decade. Current studies on the development of SHs have focused on the formulation of highly functional materials with enhanced properties for suitable applications in different fields. In light of this, the incorporation of microsized or nanosized materials in SH formulations has been explored as a very attractive strategy for tailoring desired properties. In this review, we discuss relevant aspects of the current knowledge of SHs and nanocomposite polymer hydrogels, mainly those based on chitin and cellulose nanocrystals (fibers and/or whiskers), bringing to light some structure–property relationships and future trends. © 2013 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
