description: Obesity is one of the largest health issues in Europe, and media can significantly impact obesity-related habits. This study aimed to determine the trends of public interest in weight loss, physical activity, diet, nutrition, healthy diet, healthy nutrition, optimum nutrition, healthy food, and a combination of weight loss + diet-related topics in Europe, using Google Trends data from 2004 to 2022. Denmark was the most interested in weight loss topics, whereas Ukraine was the least interested. The mean relative search volume (RSV) of “Weight loss + Optimum nutrition” was the most frequent (80.65%), followed by “Weight loss + Physical activity” (78.66%). Searches for “Weight loss” + diet-related topics increased in most European countries according to Jonckheere-Terpstra trend analysis from 2004 to 2022, with searches generally declining in December but increasing in January. Our findings could help scientists and practitioners develop and select strategies, particularly during times of high public interest.

description: In plants, RNA-directed DNA methylation (RdDM) is a silencing mechanism relying on the production of 24-nt small interfering RNAs (siRNAs) by RNA POLYMERASE IV (Pol IV) to trigger methylation and inactivation of transposable elements (TEs). We present the construction and characterization of osnrpd1, a knock-down RNA interference line of OsNRPD1 gene that encodes the largest subunit of Pol IV in rice (Oryza sativa ssp japonica cv Nipponbare). We show that osnrpd1 displays a lower accumulation of OsNRPD1 transcripts, associated with an overall reduction of 24-nt siRNAs and DNA methylation level in all three contexts, CG, CHG and CHH. We uncovered new insertions of known active TEs, the LTR retrotransposons Tos17 and Lullaby and the long interspersed nuclear element-type retrotransposon Karma. However, we did not observe any clear developmental phenotype, contrary to what was expected for a mutant severely affected in RdDM. In addition, despite the presence of many putatively functional TEs in the rice genome, we found no evidence of in planta global reactivation of transposition. This knock-down of OsNRPD1 likely led to a weakly affected line, with no effect on development and a limited effect on transposition. We discuss the possibility that a knock-out mutation of OsNRPD1 would cause sterility in rice.This article is part of the discussion meeting issue ‘Crossroads between transposons and gene regulation’.

description: We recover spiral and barred spiral patterns in disk galaxy simulations with a Wave Dark Matter (WDM) background (also known as Scalar Field Dark Matter (SFDM), Ultra-Light Axion (ULA) dark matter, and Bose-Einstein Condensate (BEC) dark matter). Here we show how the interaction between a baryonic disk and its Dark Matter Halo triggers the formation of spiral structures when the halo is allowed to have a triaxial shape and angular momentum. This is a more realistic picture within the WDM model since a non-spherical rotating halo seems to be more natural. By performing hydrodynamic simulations, along with earlier test particles simulations, we demonstrate another important way in which wave dark matter is consistent with observations. The common existence of bars in these simulations is particularly noteworthy. This may have consequences when trying to obtain information about the dark matter distribution in a galaxy, the mere presence of spiral arms or a bar usually indicates that baryonic matter dominates the central region and therefore observations, like rotation curves, may not tell us what the DM distribution is at the halo center. But here we show that spiral arms and bars can develop in DM dominated galaxies with a central density core without supposing its origin on mechanisms intrinsic to the baryonic matter.

description: We investigated the extent to which adherence to the Mediterranean diet (MD) in combination with Mediterranean lifestyle factors influenced students’ perceptions of subjective well-being (SWB) and distress. 939 undergraduates completed a survey to assess sociodemographic and lifestyle characteristics, including adherence to the MD, depression, anxiety, stress, and SWB. Data were analysed with correlation, logistic, and multiple linear regression models. Higher adherence to MD correlated with better SWB. Fruit, red meat, sweet and caffeinated beverages contributed significantly. However, it was the combination of adherence to MD with other factors, including quality of social relationships, income, smoking, sleep, and physical activity that better predicted SWB. Our results confirm the positive influence of MD on SWB. However, they also suggest the need to consider perceptions of well-being by a more holistic approach that considers physical and social factors simultaneously to improve the development of more effective educational and motivational programmes.
Eroded resilience, Informal settlements predictable urban growth implications for self-governance in the context of urban violence in Medellin, Colombia.

description: Scholars have vastly explored incremental growth of informal settlements as one of their defining features. Most of this work has focused on the family unit scale, concentrating on housing asset growth as related to the family historical narrative, legal status, social image, and financing. However, little has been explored about how this relates to the neighborhood scale and, more importantly, how the type of density growth impacts urban form, governance structures, and community social ties, which are essential elements for the development of resilient communities. Using semistructured interviews and historical mappings of informal settlements in Medellin, Colombia from the past four decades, this research maps the relationship between the urban growth of informal settlements and their impact on social networks. This research presents urban informality growth as following predictable patterns. It demonstrates that the exponential density growth found in these settlements, as they moved through the distinct phases of the predictive model, played a significant role in the fragmentation of social ties and co-optation by non-state Armed Actors, what I call eroded resilience. This finding raises important questions about the role of exponential density growth in connection with existing governance structures, not only in the context of urban informality but also in the context of global population growth.

description: This article explores the theoretical framework of new materialism and its application to contemporary art practices, focusing on the dynamic relationship between matter and meaning. Drawing from the works of key theorists such as Karen Barad, Gilles Deleuze, and Rosi Braidotti, it examines how new materialism challenges traditional dichotomies like human/non-human and discourse/matter by emphasizing the intra-active entanglements of entities. The paper analyzes the artistic practices of Ana Mendieta, Carolee Schneemann, and Marina Abramović to illustrate how their works embody the principles of intra-action and becoming, revealing the interconnectedness of bodies, materials, and environments. By redefining the concept of agency and exploring the relational dynamics in art, the article contributes to a deeper understanding of how material-semiotic practices shape and are shaped by their contexts, offering insights into the ongoing process of becoming in artistic expression.

description: In fact, the views of world communities have shifted from a focus on reducing vulnerability to increasing resilience in the event of a crisis. The present study used GIS-based DANP model to investigate the resilience of Tehran districts to hazards. First, the influencing criteria on resilience were selected in four dimensions using Delphi method. Then, a DEMATEL model followed by an ANP were applied to define the internal relationship between the criteria. Next, the GIS overlay was performed to give visual outputs. DEMATEL results showed that disasters and natural hazards in the environmental dimension, urban infrastructure in the physical dimension, and employment rate in the socio-economic dimension were the most important criteria which affected urban resilience. Additionally, 54.7% of the total urban area was categorized in very-low to moderate resilience classes, needing serious attention. This study provides fresh insights for urban planners to know the cause-and-effect relations between dimensions and criteria, to best deal with the resilience.

description: We study the spectrum of fermion states localized within the vortex core of a weak-coupling p-wave superfluid. The low energy spectrum consists of two anomalous branches that cross the Fermi level as functions of the impact parameter, and generate large density of states at the locations of the half cores of the vortex. Fermi liquid interactions significantly change the vortex structure, which leads to Lifshitz transition in the effective Fermi surface of the vortex core fermions. We apply the results to revise the interpretation of an experiment on rotational dynamics of vortices in superfluid 3He-B.

description: Magnetoencephalography (MEG) is an important noninvasive, nonhazardous technology for functional brain mapping, measuring the magnetic fields due to the intracellular neuronal current flow in the brain. However, most often, the inherent level of noise in the MEG sensor data collection process is large enough to obscure the signal(s) of interest. In this paper, a denoising technique based on the wavelet transform and the multiresolution signal decomposition technique along with thresholding is presented, substantiated by application results. Thereafter, different frequency analysis are performed on the denoised MEG signals to identify the major frequencies of the brain oscillations present in the denoised signals. Time-frequency plots (spectrograms) of the denoised signals are also provided.

description: Vitamin E and paraoxonase 1 (PON1) are associated with cancer development. However, their interactive effect on colorectal cancer (CRC) risk is inconclusive. We conducted a case–control study including 1,351 CRC patients and 2,670 controls at the Korean National Cancer Centre (KNCC). There was an inverse association between vitamin E intake and CRC risk (odds ratio (OR) = 0.31; 95% confidence interval (CI) = 0.22–0.42). We identified a reduced CRC risk among individuals with CC genotype of PON1 rs662 polymorphism compared with subjects carrying the T allele (OR = 0.74; 95% CI = 0.61–0.90). The highest interaction between vitamin E intake and PON1 rs662 variants was significant for the subjects carrying the CC genotype (p-interaction = 0.014). This study provided further supporting evidence that vitamin E intake is associated with lower odds of CRC. Furthermore, the activity of vitamin E is strengthened among individuals carrying C allele of the PON1 rs662 polymorphism.

Metaboendocrine, Inflammatory, and Bacterial Correlates of Tumor Growth Following Caloric Restriction and Vertical Sleeve Gastrectomy in a Murine Model of Breast Cancer
Creators: name: McFarlane, Tori
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries

description: Among women in the United States, breast cancer accounts for 30% of all new cancer diagnoses and is the second leading cause of cancer-related deaths. Obesity affects more than 40% of the American adult population and is a well-established risk factor for breast cancer. Therefore, weight loss interventions for obesity are of great importance. While there is evidence that both dietary and surgical weight loss approaches may reduce cancer risk, it is not yet understood how these interventions differentially affect breast cancer outcomes. This honors thesis aimed to compare metabolic, inflammatory, and cecal microbial profiles to elucidate differences between dietary and surgical weight loss interventions for obesity in a mouse model of breast cancer. Female C57BL/6NCrl mice were maintained on either 10 kcal% low-fat or 60 kcal% high-fat diet regimens, then randomized to receive either: a) sham surgery and continuation of the low-fat diet (CON); b) sham surgery and continuation of the high-fat diet (DIO); c) sham surgery with switch from the high-fat diet to a chronic calorie restriction diet (CCR); d) sham surgery with switch from the high-fat diet to an intermittent calorie restriction diet (ICR); or e) vertical sleeve gastrectomy with switch from the high-fat to low-fat diet (VSG). To establish metabolic and inflammatory profiles for each diet group prior to E0771 cell injections, serum cytokines, chemokines, and metaboendocrine hormones were measured using Luminex assays. Cecal microbial communities collected at tumor endpoint were evaluated via 16S rRNA gene sequencing. CCR and ICR weight loss interventions significantly reduced tumor mass relative to all other groups. Serum C-X-C motif chemokine ligand(CXCL)13 and plasminogen activator inhibitor(PAI)-1 were reduced in CCR and ICR mice, but elevated in VSG mice. Serum PAI-1 and gross body weight loss were found to predict final tumor mass independent of diet group. Cecal microbial composition was distinct across all groups, and the number of observed sequence variants (SVs) was lower in VSG mice compared with CON, DIO, and ICR mice. Among CCR and ICR mice, 7 genera were differentially abundant compared with VSG mice. Most of these genera, as well as the number of observed SVs, were significantly associated with final tumor mass. These data suggest that serum CXCL13, serum PAI-1, gross body weight loss, and cecal microbial community composition may distinguish dietary from surgical weight loss interventions, as well as contribute to the improved anticancer effects observed in the calorie restriction groups. Understanding the impact of weight loss on these physiological factors and determining if these factors act independently or in combination with each other may eventually lead to novel therapeutic applications for the treatment of breast cancer.

Sovereignty unchained and chained: Theorizing control through »sovereignty
Creators: name: Rothe, Matthias
Publisher: name: InterDisciplines. Journal of History and Sociology
Year: 2013

description: Sovereignty has become such a key concept in critical thought that it can hardly be avoided by any critique of control. Reviewing the genealogy of sovereignty established in the work of Carl Schmitt, Walter Benjamin and Giorgio Agamben, this article discusses paradoxes and political implications that emerge from what should be called the "critical sovereignty discourse." A close reading of Kant shows that a crucial stage of the genealogy of this discourse is Kant's attempt to subtract the element of personal force, traditionally the hallmark of sovereignty, in favor of the law. I do not argue for a dismissal of the concept of sovereignty from critical thought, but for its modification. The point of departure for any critical analysis should be the ontological impossibility of sovereign power; sovereignty needs to be theorized as inherently divisible. Drawing on Jacques Derrida, and Michel Foucault's later lectures and seminars, I employ this premise for the analysis of two prominent features of the US criminal justice system: prosecutorial discretion and mandatory sentencing.

description: We report on the mean-field study of the Chiral Magnetic Effect (CME) in static magnetic fields within a simple model of a parity-breaking Weyl semimetal given by the lattice Wilson-Dirac Hamiltonian with constant chiral chemical potential. We consider both the mean-field renormalization of the model parameters and nontrivial corrections to the CME originating from re-summed ladder diagrams with arbitrary number of loops. We find that on-site repulsive interactions affect the chiral magnetic conductivity almost exclusively through the enhancement of the renormalized chiral chemical potential. Our results suggest that nontrivial corrections to the chiral magnetic conductivity due to inter-fermion interactions are not relevant in practice, since they only become important when the CME response is strongly suppressed by the large gap in the energy spectrum.

Confessional Poetry and Psychology:  Trauma, Grief, and Retelling after World War II
Creators: name: Cherish Miller
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2021

description: This work begins by exploring the effects of World War II on Confessional poetry, its audience, and psychology, finding that World War II was of significant influence to many of the changes made in psychology at this time, including the move from institutionalism to private practice and the power of psychoanalysis in the field. Psychoanalysis was also very prominent in Confessional poetry, leading us to consider the poetry further in the lens of psychology, particularly looking at the role of trauma and grief. This examination found significant trauma and grief in the lives and poetry of Anne Sexton and Robert Lowell, particularly in their relationship to their parents. The final chapter looks at the role of poetry in the therapy of both authors, especially the significant part played by retelling.
Molecular approaches to studying mammalian regeneration
Creators: name: Nechiporuk, Tamilla
Publisher: name: University of Utah
Year: 2012

description: Mammals have an extremely limited ability to replace damaged heart tissue. On a molecular level this irreversible tissue loss results from failure of cardiac myocytes to proliferate in response to an injury. As myocyte proliferation ceases shortly after birth, identification of genes expressed during this developmental stage may lead to the discovery of key molecules and signaling pathways responsible for this proliferative switch. I have undertaken two different approaches for studying mammalian heart regeneration. First, I screened for genes that are differentially expressed between fetal and adult cardiomyocytes. This approach led to the identification of several differentially-regulated genes, including a seven-transmembrane receptor, ETL. The expression of this novel receptor is developmentally upregulated at birth and may be associated with a variety of cellular responses in the heart including inhibition of cellular division. I also adapted a candidate gene approach to study mammalian regeneration. In vertebrates that are capable of regeneration, such as urodele amphibians and teleost fish, initiation of regeneration is associated with dedifferentiation of the remaining tissue and coincides with the expression of certain genes. Among them, Msx1 and Msx2 are expressed early in regeneration and potentially represent key regulators of the regeneration cascade. Here, I took an in vivo approach to activate Msx genes in the adult mammal. In particular, I describe a transgenic mouse model with inducible expression of Msx2. Induction of Msx2 in the skeletal muscle results in a myopathy with characteristic muscle damage and appearance of fibers with centrally located nuclei. Using Msx2 as a molecular marker, we show that fibers with centrally located nuclei arise not only from satellite cells as previously thought, but also from the movement of peripheral muscle nuclei to the center. This phenomenon potentially represents a dedifferentiation event during regenerative muscle response because only immature fibers contain centrally located nuclei. In addition, I compare my Msx2-induced model of murine myopathy with the mouse model of Duchenne muscular dystrophy (mdx) using gene expression profiling. Our analysis reveals both unique and shared aspects of muscle regeneration in Msx2-induced and mdx models of myopathy. Thus, Msx2-caused myopathy is the first model of inducible murine dystrophy and regeneration.

description: Feedback in massive galaxies generally involves quenching of star formation, a favored candidate being outflows from a central supermassive black hole. At high redshifts however, explanation of the huge rates of star formation often found in galaxies containing AGN may require a more vigorous mode of star formation than attainable by simply enriching the gas content of galaxies in the usual gravitationally-driven mode that is associated with the nearby Universe. Using hydrodynamical simulations, we demonstrate that AGN-pressure-driven star formation potentially provides the positive feedback that may be required to generate the accelerated star formation rates observed in the distant Universe.

description: Numerous recent approaches attempt to remove image blur due to camera shake, either with one or multiple input images, by explicitly solving an inverse and inherently ill-posed deconvolution problem. If the photographer takes a burst of images, a modality available in virtually all modern digital cameras, we show that it is possible to combine them to get a clean sharp version. This is done without explicitly solving any blur estimation and subsequent inverse problem. The proposed algorithm is strikingly simple: it performs a weighted average in the Fourier domain, with weights depending on the Fourier spectrum magnitude. The method can be seen as a generalization of the align and average procedure, with a weighted average, motivated by hand-shake physiology and theoretically supported, taking place in the Fourier domain. The method's rationale is that camera shake has a random nature and therefore each image in the burst is generally blurred differently. Experiments with real camera data, and extensive comparisons, show that the proposed Fourier Burst Accumulation (FBA) algorithm achieves state-of-the-art results an order of magnitude faster, with simplicity for on-board implementation on camera phones. Finally, we also present experiments in real high dynamic range (HDR) scenes, showing how the method can be straightforwardly extended to HDR photography.

description: Sampling hidden populations is particularly challenging using standard sampling methods mainly because of the lack of a sampling frame. Respondent-driven sampling (RDS) is an alternative methodology that exploits the social contacts between peers to reach and weight individuals in these hard-to-reach populations. It is a snowball sampling procedure where the weight of the respondents is adjusted for the likelihood of being sampled due to differences in the number of contacts. In RDS, the structure of the social contacts thus defines the sampling process and affects its coverage, for instance by constraining the sampling within a sub-region of the network. In this paper we study the bias induced by network structures such as social triangles, community structure, and heterogeneities in the number of contacts, in the recruitment trees and in the RDS estimator. We simulate different scenarios of network structures and response-rates to study the potential biases one may expect in real settings. We find that the prevalence of the estimated variable is associated with the size of the network community to which the individual belongs. Furthermore, we observe that low-degree nodes may be under-sampled in certain situations if the sample and the network are of similar size. Finally, we also show that low response-rates lead to reasonably accurate average estimates of the prevalence but generate relatively large biases.

L’arte del paesaggio e la sua trasformazione
Creators: name: Milani, Raffaele
Publisher: name: Ri-Vista
Year: 2015

description: Leggere il paesaggio significa capire la natura, la storia e la cultura di un luogo. Una lettura importante per recuperare i segni del passato, renderli visibili e accostarli a più recenti segni provenienti dalle nuove richieste di possibili trasformazioni. Le forme riconoscibili di un paesaggio rivelano pagine di una lunga storia, dalla tradizione alla modernità. Perché esso è moderno e antico allo stesso tempo. Il paesaggio esprime un’immagine di forme, una reazione sentimentale e allo stesso tempo un’esigenza d’astrazione. E’ categoria dell’oggetto e del soggetto. Dufrenne, in un secolo che sembrava avesse dimenticato la bellezza del paesaggio, aveva elogiato sin dal 1955 la percezione estetica della natura sottolineando una certa indistinzione del sensoriale e dell’affettivo. In generale si accenna a un’arte del paesaggio quando esso viene concepito e sentito in relazione allo sguardo pittorico, alla veduta, alla teatralizzazione della natura, alle suggestioni visive delle note di viaggio. Ma, se vogliamo veramente pensarlo come un’arte dell’origine, un’arte che precede i suoi riflessi nella riproduzione dell’arte figurativa, esso ci appare più ampiamente e profondamente unito a un insieme di aspetti che mettono in luce l’uomo tra natura, cultura, storia e mito. Quest’ultimo si fa poi strumento importantissimo nel cogliere e trasmettere il mistero, l’inesplicabile, l’invisibile. Il paesaggio è, allora, sia reale, un’arte fornita dal fare e dalla cultura di un popolo, sia mentale, legato alla rappresentazione e alla visione del mondo. Gli architetti e i paesaggisti che sono invitati a ridare dignità a un territorio degradato, o troppo alterato e manipolato, dovranno ricordarsi dell’interazione di queste due accezioni ed essere capaci di leggere e interpretare i segni della presenza dell’uomo e migliorare così l’aspetto dei luoghi.

description: Two trans autobiographies, Conundrum: An Extraordinary Narrative of Transsexualism by Jan Morris (1974) and Nina Here Nor There: My Journey Beyond Gender by Nick Krieger (2011) are analyzed to compare how trans selves have been constructed differently across different Western historical contexts. The traditional transsexual narrative of Conundrum and the American medical discourses that inform it are contrasted with the more contemporary transgender identity narrative of Nina Here Nor There, the latter of which can be linked to turn-of-the-century challenges among American trans activists and scholars to the monopoly of medical models on (socially legible) trans identity construction. Different trans autobiography conventions like childhood gender conviction and surgery as a narrative event are discussed to show how autobiography as a form helps consolidate the trans self.
Impediments to the development of stock markets in the Southern African development community
Creators: name: Sethibe, Abraham
Publisher: name: The Australian National University

description: This thesis examines how property rights regimes impede participation in stock markets, emphasising institutional transformation processes, property rights ownership culture, and quality of institutions. The adopted theoretical framework incorporates property rights effects into the overall institutional structure of the society and the economy. This institutional structure comprises the political order that defines and protects property rights; property rights institutions that are laws, regulations and contracts; and cultural value systems that regulate behaviour and influence choices in the society (Feder and Feeny 1991:136). In doing so, it is argued that the popular view in the comparative markets and governance literature regarding the influence of property rights institutions on the development of capital markets does not adequately address the peculiarities and complexities characterising institutional developments in SADC countries...

description: On-farm demonstration of improved field pea varieties was conducted in Goba, Sinana and Agarfa districts of Bale zone. The main objective of the study was to demonstrate and evaluate recently released Hortu variety along with standard check. The demonstration was under taken on single plot of 10m x 10m area for each variety with row planting, recommended seed rate of 75 kg ha-1 and fertilizer rate of 100 kg ha-1 NPS. Mini-field day involving different stakeholders was organized at each respective site. Yield data per plot was recorded and analysed using descriptive statistics, while farmers’ preference to the demonstrated varieties was identified using focused group discussion and summarized using pair wise ranking methods. The demonstration result revealed that Hortu variety performed better than the standard check Harena variety with an average yield of 36.30 qt ha-1 and 31.42 qt ha-1, respectively. Hortu variety had 15.53% yield advantage over the standard check. Furthermore, farmers selected this variety. Thus, Hortu variety was recommended for further scaling up.
