Who Are You and What’s Your Issue? Winning in Collective Litigation in Colombia
Authors: Páez Angela M. 
Published: November 2022

AbstractThis article analyzes the role of the Colombian Council of State, the administrative court of highest level in Colombia, in cases of collective litigation (acción popular). It answers the questions: Do outcomes in these cases vary depending on the right under litigation? Do parties with more resources achieve better outcomes? Does the government hold an advantage when facing other parties? The article analyzes quantitatively an original database of collective litigation cases on environmental protection, public security, the rights of consumers, and administrative morality, and interprets these findings using interview data. Results show that parties’ success rates vary depending on the right under litigation. The national government has the highest litigation success rate, but individuals are more likely to win than stronger parties like department and local governments. The article presents implications following the literature on courts and rights protection in the Global South and party capability.
How a young child sings a well-known song before she can speak
Authors: Stadler Elmer Stefanie 
Published: November 2022

AbstractThrough micro-genetic analysis of early singing, I describe and explain the complexity of song as an elementary cultural expression. For educators, it is important to understand the key role of song with and by young children as a means to convey feelings and musico-linguistic rules. Song consists of melody and lyrics, both of which are connected by metrical rules to form a Gestalt. A song sung by 18-month-old Lynn exemplifies that she produces the melody with ease, but shows difficulty forming the words. By following rules, she forms and expresses feelings of belonging to those who shared their singing with her previously.

AbstractBackground:Impairments and developmental delay are often reported in infants and young children with CHD. However, currently, there is no data regarding cognitive abilities assessed by standardised intelligence tests in adults with CHD. This study assesses the cognitive function in Fontan patients compared with acyanotic CHD patients whether restrictions in cognitive function are present in adulthood and its association with health-related quality of life.Methods:Forty-four adult CHD (female n = 21 (47.7%); mean age 34.7 ± 11.9 years), 22 with Fontan circulation and 22 with acyanotic CHD, underwent the Wechsler Intelligence Scale for adults as patients during routine follow-up in 2018. The Medical Outcomes Study Questionnaire Short-Form 36 Health Survey (SF-36) assessed health-related quality of life.Results:Fontan patients showed significantly better results in the FSIQ (p = 0.020) and perceptual reasoning (p = 0.017) in comparison with patients with acyanotic CHD. All adult CHD patients showed normal IQ in subscales and full-scale IQ (FSIQ). In health-related quality of life, no association with cognitive function was found and no significant difference between both CHD groups, but trends to reduced values in acyanotic adult CHD.Conclusions:Interestingly, our study results in adult Fontan patients showed that it is possible to live an adult life with normal cognitive function and good health-related quality of life with a univentricular heart. Thus, this study could be a guidepost for more in-depth studies on cognitive function in Fontan survivors. In addition, the focus should be on health-related quality of life of adult CHD with simple CHD in particular, since a reduced health-related quality of life is not only medically based.
The Role of Summer Snowstorms on Seasonal Arctic Sea Ice Loss

Published: November 2022

AbstractIn the Arctic, short‐lived summer snowstorms can provide snow cover that can increase surface reflectivity and heat capacity. Despite their potential importance, little research has been done to understand the impact of summer snowstorms on basin‐scale Arctic sea ice cover. Our observational analysis shows that a summer snowstorm event is accompanied by cyclonic ice drift, increases in surface albedo and surface air cooling that can persist for up to ∼2 weeks, dampening sea ice loss. Specifically, multiple snowstorm events in a summer, on average, results in net increase in sea ice extent of ∼0.2 × 106 km2 by early September. Experiments with a sophisticated ice‐ocean model framework indicate that the initial expansion of sea ice extent is driven by cyclonic wind‐driven ice drifts driving sea ice southwards and increasing albedo around the summer ice edge, however the thermal effects from the associated snowfall and atmospheric conditions result in a stronger overall impact on basin‐averaged sea ice extent at seasonal scales. Additional model experiments were carried out to isolate the physical processes contributing to the thermal response of Arctic sea ice to summer snowstorms. Our results show the impact of surface air cooling on sea ice extent is about 3.5 times larger than the snowfall/albedo response. However, our simulated albedo response is weaker than the observed response, likely due to the negligible difference in surface albedo between old snow and freshly fallen snow—a limiting factor in our analysis and a topic worthy of future focus.
Characterization and Climatological Modeling of Equatorial Ionization Anomaly (EIA) Crest Position

Published: November 2022

AbstractThe Equatorial Ionization Anomaly (EIA) is characterized by strong ionospheric gradients that complicate ionospheric modeling and mitigation of ionospheric impact on Global Navigation Satellite System applications. In this study, the variation of EIA crest locations as a function of longitude and solar radio flux index F10.7 has been derived and modeled. Seven years (2013–2019) of ionospheric NmF2 and in‐situ ion density data from Constellation Observing System for Meteorology Ionosphere and Climate and Swarm‐A satellites have been used. We find that the distance between the northern and southern crest of EIA grows slightly with increase of solar flux. The position of the crests of EIA follows a wave number 4 structure with peak values at around −130°, 0°, and 100°E. At the altitude of Swarm‐A (∼460 km), the equatorial crests are found closer to the geomagnetic dip equator than they are at the peak density height hmF2 (∼310 km) which may be due to the spatial variations of geomagnetic field strength. Accordingly, two Crest Position climatological Models have been developed, one for the F2 Peak height (CPM_F2P) and the other one for Swarm‐A height (CPM_SAH).

Published: November 2022

AbstractRNA polymerase II (Pol II) carries out transcription of both protein-coding and non-coding genes. Whereas Pol II initiation at protein-coding genes has been studied in detail, Pol II initiation at non-coding genes, such as small nuclear RNA (snRNA) genes, is less well understood at the structural level. Here, we study Pol II initiation at snRNA gene promoters and show that the snRNA-activating protein complex (SNAPc) enables DNA opening and transcription initiation independent of TFIIE and TFIIH in vitro. We then resolve cryo-EM structures of the SNAPc-containing Pol IIpre-initiation complex (PIC) assembled on U1 and U5 snRNA promoters. The core of SNAPc binds two turns of DNA and recognizes the snRNA promoter-specific proximal sequence element (PSE), located upstream of the TATA box-binding protein TBP. Two extensions of SNAPc, called wing-1 and wing-2, bind TFIIA and TFIIB, respectively, explaining how SNAPc directs Pol II to snRNA promoters. Comparison of structures of closed and open promoter complexes elucidates TFIIH-independent DNA opening. These results provide the structural basis of Pol II initiation at non-coding RNA gene promoters.

AbstractThe uncontrolled oxidative decomposition of electrolyte while operating at high potential (> 4.2 V vs Li/Li+) severely affects the performance of high-energy density transition metal oxide-based materials as cathodes in Li-ion batteries. To restrict this degradative response of electrolyte species, the need for functional molecules as electrolyte additives that can restrict the electrolytic decomposition is imminent. In this regard, bio-derived molecules are cost-effective, environment friendly, and non-toxic alternatives to their synthetic counter parts. Here, we report the application of microbially synthesized 2,5-dimethyl-3,6-bis(4-aminobenzyl)pyrazine (DMBAP) as an electrolyte additive that stabilizes high-voltage (4.5 V vs Li/Li+) LiNi1/3Mn1/3Co1/3O2 cathodes. The high-lying highest occupied molecular orbital of bio-additive (DMBAP) inspires its sacrificial in situ oxidative decomposition to form an organic passivation layer on the cathode surface. This restricts the excessive electrolyte decomposition to form a tailored cathode electrolyte interface to administer cyclic stability and enhance the capacity retention of the cathode.

AbstractAnemia is a common health problem for women and under five children in low income countries. According to the WHO, anemia is considered a serious public health problem when the prevalence is greater than 40%. The prevalence of anemia among children under five in Ethiopia changes over time, and is spatially correlated because it is influenced by environmental, socio-economic and other related factors. However, to our knowledge, there is no small area level estimates of anemia among children under five in Ethiopia. Therefore, this study aimed to assess zonal level estimates of anemia using a Bayesian spatio-temporal conditional autoregressive modeling approach. The data for the study was extracted from the Ethiopian Demographic and Health Surveys (EDHS) from 2005 to 2016. A sample of 18,939 children aged 6–59 months were considered for this study. A Bayesian spatio-temporal conditional autoregressive model was implemented to identify the risk of child anemia. Smoothed relative risks along with the 95% credible interval were reported. The queen’s adjacency matrix method was used in spatial smoothing and in estimating the relative risk. The prevalence of anemia among children aged 6–59 months in Ethiopia was 54% in 2005, 44% in 2011 and 57% in 2016. This study showed that low maternal education, low socio-economic status of women, and maternal anemia at zone level were strongly associated with child anemia in Ethiopia. Therefore, enhancing education for women, improving women's socioeconomic status, and mitigating maternal anemia are crucial to reduce the prevalence of childhood anemia in Ethiopia.

AbstractDifferential pulse voltammetry (DPV) using gallium oxide nanoparticles/carbon paste electrode (Ga2O3/CPE) was utilized for the simultaneous detection of Pb2+, Cd2+ and Hg2+ ions. Ga2O3NPs were chemically synthesized and fully characterized by Fourier-transform infrared (FTIR), X-ray diffraction (XRD), transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). Through the assay optimization, electrochemical screening of different nanomaterials was carried out using the cyclic voltammetry (CV) and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) in order to determine the best electrode modifier that will be implemented for the present assay. Consequently, various parameters such as electrode matrix composition, electrolyte, deposition potential, and deposition time were optimized and discussed. Accordingly, the newly developed sensing platform showed a wide dynamic linear range of 0.3–80 µM with detection limits (LODs) of 84, 88 and 130 nM for Pb2+, Cd2+ and Hg2+ ions, respectively. While the corresponding limit of quantification (LOQ) values were 280, 320 and 450 nM. Sensors selectivity was investigated towards different non-targeting metal ions, whereas no obvious cross-reactivity was obtained. Eventually, applications on real samples were performed, while excellent recoveries for the multiple metal ions were successfully achieved.

AbstractGlucocorticoids are regularly used as biomarkers of relative health for individuals and populations. Around the Western Antarctic Peninsula (WAP), baleen whales have and continue to experience threats, including commercial harvest, prey limitations and habitat change driven by rapid warming, and increased human presence via ecotourism. Here, we measured demographic variation and differences across the foraging season in blubber cortisol levels of humpback whales (Megaptera novaeangliae) over two years around the WAP. Cortisol concentrations were determined from 305 biopsy samples of unique individuals. We found no significant difference in the cortisol concentration between male and female whales. However, we observed significant differences across demographic groups of females and a significant decrease in the population across the feeding season. We also assessed whether COVID-19-related reductions in tourism in 2021 along the WAP correlated with lower cortisol levels across the population. The decline in vessel presence in 2021 was associated with a significant decrease in humpback whale blubber cortisol concentrations at the population level. Our findings provide critical contextual data on how these hormones vary naturally in a population over time, show direct associations between cortisol levels and human presence, and will enable comparisons among species experiencing different levels of human disturbance.

AbstractThis study aimed to investigate the factors affecting the success rate of full pulpotomy in permanent posterior teeth with pulpitis. The study included 105 permanent posterior teeth clinically diagnosed as reversible or irreversible pulpitis in 92 patients aged 18–82 years. All teeth underwent a full pulpotomy using mineral trioxide aggregate as a capping material and were recalled for clinical and radiographic evaluation at 3, 6, 12, and 24 months postoperatively. The overall success rate after the 12-month review was above 90%, and failed cases mainly occurred during the first 12 months after treatment. In this study, the treatment outcome of pulpotomy was not related to sex, or tooth position and the cause of pulpitis. To analyze the influence of age on the treatment outcome, all the teeth were allocated to three groups: group 1 (18–39 years); group 2 (40–59 years); and group 3 (≥ 60 years). A significant difference in success rate was found between groups 1 and 3 (P = 0.014). These results suggest that pulpotomy can be used as an alternative treatment for permanent mature teeth diagnosed with pulpitis and that aging is one factor affecting the treatment outcome.
KBTBD11, encoding a novel PPARγ target gene, is involved in NFATc1 proteolysis by interacting with HSC70 and HSP60

Published: November 2022

AbstractWe previously revealed that Kbtbd11 mRNA levels increase during 3T3-L1 differentiation and Kbtbd11 knockdown suppresses whereas its overexpression promotes adipogenesis. However, how Kbtbd11 mRNA is regulated during adipocyte differentiation and how the KBTBD11 protein functions in adipocytes remain elusive. This study aimed to examine the transcriptional regulatory mechanism of Kbtbd11 during adipocyte differentiation, KBTBD11-interacting protein functions, and elucidate the role of KBTBD11 in adipocytes. First, we identified the PPRE consensus sequences in the Kbtbd11 exon 1- and intron 1-containing region and demonstrated that PPARγ acts on this region to regulate Kbtbd11 expression. Next, we purified the KBTBD11 protein complex from 3T3-L1 adipocytes and identified heat shock proteins HSC70 and HSP60 as novel KBTBD11-interacting proteins. HSC70 and HSP60 inhibition increased KBTBD11 protein levels that promoted NFATc1 ubiquitination. These data suggest that HSC70 and HSP60 are involved in KBTBD11 stabilization and are responsible for NFATc1 regulation on the protein level. In summary, this study describes first the protein regulatory mechanism of NFATc1 through the HSC70/HSP60-KBTBD11 interaction that could provide a potential new target for the differentiation and proliferation of various cells, including adipocytes and tumors.
Trusted and secure composite digital twin architecture for collaborative ecosystems
Authors: Kuruppuarachchi Pasindu Manisha , Rea Susan , McGibney Alan 
Published: November 2022

AbstractDigitalisation creates new opportunities for businesses to implement and manage collaborative ecosystems both internally and externally. Digital twin (DT) is a rapidly emerging technology that can be used to facilitate new models of interaction and sharing of information. DT is the digital version of a physical process or asset that can be used to model, manage, and optimise its physical counterpart. Connecting multiple DTs is vital to provide a holistic integration and view across complex ecosystems. To create a DT‐based collaborative ecosystem architecture, the following concerns need to be addressed. Trust is a fundamental requirement because multiple parties will work together as part of a composite DT. Interoperability is essential, as DTs from various domains will be required to interconnect and operate seamlessly. Finally, the governance is challenging as different scenarios require various mechanisms and governance structures. This study presents an architecture to enable multiple DT‐based collaborative ecosystems, and example use case scenarios to demonstrate its applicability in collaborative manufacturing.
Compressive sensing reconstruction of hyperspectral images based on codec space‐spectrum joint dense residual network
Authors: Xiao Shuming , Zhang Ye , Chang Xuling , Xu Jiajia 
Published: November 2022

AbstractThe spatial and spectral information contained in the hyperspectral image (HSI) make it widely used in many fields. However, the sharp increase of HSI data brings enormous pressure to the data storage and real‐time transmission. The research shows that hyperspectral compressive sensing (HCS) breaks through the bottleneck of the Nyquist sampling theorem, which can relieve the massive pressure on data storage and real‐time transmission. Existing HCS methods try to design advanced compression sampling matrix or reconstruction algorithms, but cannot connect the two through a unified framework. To further improve the image reconstruction quality, a novel codec space‐spectrum joint dense residual network (CDS2‐DResN) is proposed. The CDS2‐DResN is divided into block compression sampling part and reconstruction part. For block compression sampling, coded convolutional layer (CCL) is leveraged to compress and sample HSI. For measurements reconstruction, deconvolution layer is first leveraged to initially reconstruct HSI, and then build a space‐spectrum joint network to refine the initial reconstructed HSI. Moreover, the CCL and reconstruction network are optimized via a unified framework, which can simplify the pre‐processing and post‐processing process of HCS. Extensive experiments have shown that CDS2‐DResN has an excellent HCS reconstruction effect at measurement rates 0.25, 0.10, 0.04 and 0.01, respectively.
