description: Over the past decades, drone technology has evolved to become a key element for various purposes in todayâ€Ìs globalized society. Besides the various technical challenges of implementing and utilizing their onboard systems as well as challenges with respect to the integration of these new airspace users into the existing airspace, one major factor for their success is their acceptance by the general public. In order to proactively address the concerns of the public with regards to the noise pollution of drones, the German Aerospace Center (DLR) together with the German Environment Agency (UBA) has undertaken flight trials to measure the noise emission levels of a variety of different types of drones. In particular, one flight test campaign was focused on measuring the sound pressure levels (i.e. pollution levels) of drones overflying static microphones, and another flight test campaign was focused on measuring the sound power levels (i.e. emission levels) of drones using a microphone hemisphere.This scientific publication focuses on three relevant elements of these flight trials and discusses the obtained experiences, mainly from a drone pilotsâ€Ì perspective, and provides recommendation for future regulations and standards. First, an overview of the measured drones is given including relevant vehicle specifics such as vehicle configuration, take-off mass, and their dimensions. Second, this publication describes the various flight scenarios including specific drone maneuvers that have been performed with the airborne drones during the flight tests. These maneuvers include hovering, forward level flights as well as take-off and landing maneuvers. Third, this publication highlights the challenges encountered when following the applicable EN ISO 3744 standard, which has been used for the second flight tests campaign as a reference document for setting up the measurement equipment required to perform the acoustical measurements. As a result, this publication lists several recommendations for establishing reasonable and practical requirements for future drone noise measurements taken from the obtained experiences coming from these flight tests. For example, one key recommendation is that the standards and regulations on how to measure noise levels of drones should be as detailed as possible and take the drone pilots perspective into account. In essence, this publication aims to pave the way for enhancing the public acceptance of drones by sharing obtained lessons learned from acoustical flight tests and provides recommendation for new regulations and standard that might be used for future drone noise measurements. © Copyright 2023 IEEE

description: Population-based cohort studies can be a resource for tumor specimens, annotated with demographic, lifestyle, and health history data, that support innovative studies of cancer. Our aim was to establish and test a process for accessing tumor samples, held at pathology laboratories around British Columbia (BC), for participants of the BC Generations Project (BCGP). Through the BC Cancer Registry, we identified pathology reports for 1100 (93%) of the 1180 incident solid cancer cases diagnosed in BCGP as of 2019. Using manually abstracted data from the reports, we successfully retrieved 183 (92%) of the 200 formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded (FFPE) blocks (breast, lung, bladder, and pancreas cancer cases) that we requested from pathology laboratories. No important differences in retrieval rates by cancer site, sample location (Greater Vancouver vs. Outside Greater Vancouver), sample type (biopsy vs. excision) or year of diagnosis were identified. A text mining solution recently implemented by the Registry will allow us to automate the process for data abstraction and should capture pathology reports for 100% of all newly diagnosed BCGP cancer cases moving forward. This will further enhance the utility of BCGP as a high-quality tumor tissue research resource.
An investigation of fibre alignment and interlayering of hybrid unidirectional carbon/glass with a randomly oriented elctrocspun polyamide fibre veil composite made with automatic tape and hand laying
Creators: name: Blythe, Ashley
Publisher: name: Swinburne

description: Bending and compression of hybridised composites has a wide application in leaf springs and aircraft bodies. Using automatic tape laying, unique carbon/glass fibre hybrids are created with high fibre angle precision. The composites compressive response to different fibre angles is critical in understanding the gap between predictive modelling and actual mechanical performance. The fibre angle was measured, using a micro-CT 3D stacking. The results were used to create an average fibre alignment and with the inclusion of energy of crack propagation to the Lo-Chim and Burdunsky models to improve the estimate compressive strength to within actual mechanical deviation.

description: Seasonal hypoxia in the Gulf of Mexico and harmful algal blooms experienced in many inland freshwater bodies is partially driven due to excessive nitrogen loading seen from agricultural watersheds. Within the Mississippi/Atchafalaya River Basin, many areas are underlain with karst features, and efforts to reduce nitrogen contributions from these areas have had varying success, due to lacking a complete understanding of nutrient dynamics in karst agricultural systems. To improve the understanding of nitrogen cycling in these systems, 35 months of high resolution in situ water quality and atmospheric data were collected and fed into a two-hidden layer extreme learning machine (TELM) to predict discharge and nitrate exports from a karst agroecosystem in the Inner Bluegrass region, to improve the understanding of nitrate dynamics in karst and determine the variables of influence driving nitrate loading in karst systems. Including atmospheric and soil moisture and temperature records to 100 cm in modeling resulted in the TELM providing accurate estimates of both nitrate concentration and flowrate (NSE=0.9328 and NSE=0.9363 respectively) and represented short term storm event hysteresis and diurnal signals in model predictions. The TELM also showed the variables most influential in training were the soil moisture and temperature parameters levels, pointing to the importance of focusing future work on understanding how temperature influences matrix-macropore interactions in the temperate karst environment. Finally, the ELM showed the fertilizer application data was not influential in model training, indicating that, at this study site, the fertilizer application has little control over nitrate loading. This should be studied further in other landscapes with higher rates of fertilizer application where alternative hysteretic patterns have been observed.

description: Functional Communication Training (FCT) is an intervention involving the differential reinforcement of an alternative response (DRA), in which an appropriate communicative response (e.g., asking for a break) is reinforced while the behavior targeted for decrease (e.g., hitting to get out of work) has reinforcement withheld in its presence. Individuals who work as registered behavior technicians (RBT), under the supervision of a board-certified behavior analyst (BCBA), may implement FCT daily. With that being said, many individuals who choose to work as an RBT may not have as deep of an understanding of the concepts and principles of applied behavior analysis (ABA) when compared to an individual such as a BCBA who completed higher education coursework relating directly to ABA. While RBTs are initially trained on the principles of ABA when completing an online learning course to become certified, this training covers a broad range of topics at a surface level. When considering the various principles of ABA that an RBT must become familiar with, it is understandable that this training course is unable to cover these topics extensively. However, to provide effective services as an RBT, a deeper level of understanding of these principles is imperative. A module was created to provide an overview and introduction to FCT and illustrate how it could be implemented in practice from the perspective of an RBT.

A qualitative study exploring awareness and perceptions of Sexually Transmitted Infections (STIs) amongst a male university student population in Islamabad, Pakistan.
Creators: name: Qureshi, Muhammad Adnan
Publisher: name: Swinburne
Year: 2024

description: Sexually transmitted infections (STIs) represent a major health problem globally and in Pakistan, leading to morbidity, mortality, and stigma. This research investigated a male university student population's local health beliefs around STIs. It found that participants lacked sexual health information and demonstrated a significant amount of internalised stigma, indicating that their higher level of education had little impact on their understanding of STIs. This was found to be a consequence of limited opportunities to develop sexual health literacy. STI stigma was found to hamper the effectiveness of health information systems and appears to come from the misinterpretation of religious doctrine.

description: The teaching of mathematics is one of the several fields of teaching which has been vitally affected by World War II. For some years previous to the outbreak of this war, educators questioned the advisability of having the general student body study the more advanced phases of the subject in high school. It was recommended for only the select few who planned to enter the more technical fields. Mathematics teachers all over the country felt much concern for their positions. Some felt that they would be out of work entirely; others were afraid that they would be transferred to some other subject department. Very few considered themselves secure. With the outbreak of the war, the situation changed almost overnight. The importance of mathematics to a successful war program was quickly realized, and the demand for mathematics and mathematics teachers became phenomenal. Early in the war period, it was thought by the writer that a study of the status of teachers and teaching of secondary school mathematics in Texas would be significant. This conviction was precipitated by the Conference on Teacher Education held at The University of Texas on January 8 and 9, 1942, during the period of cooperation of the University with the Commission on Teacher Education of the American Council on Education. While this conference was primarily a conference on teacher education in peacetime, everyone attending the Conference felt that for some years the entire educational program would be drastically changed, and the mathematics teachers were keenly aware of the way in which mathematics would be affected, during the war period at least. Was the preparation of mathematics teachers adequate? Had they had sufficient experience to meet the new demands of the emergency? Were their methods sound? Before questions such as these could be answered from a factual basis, a survey of the present status of the teachers and the teaching of mathematics seemed to be desirable. It is the purpose of this study to report the significant findings of such a survey in Texas

description: Objective In this Data note, we provide a raw data set in the form of brief self-guided reflections. We also present the methodological approach to generate these reflections including an educational vignette so that other dental schools can plan for their teaching activities involving mental health and substance use topics. Data description Between 2015/16 and 2018/19, the University of British Columbia’s (UBC) undergraduate dental and dental hygiene students submitted optional written guided reflections to address ‘how can an educational vignette, depicting a patient with a history of substance use and mental health disorders accessing dental care, promote an open dialogue about stigma?’ From a total of 323 undergraduate students, 148 anonymous reflections between 200 and 400 characters each were received. The main ideas that may emerge from the reflections include ‘exploring power relations’ and ‘patient-centered care approach to counteract stigma’.

description: Lung cancer is considered a cause of increased mortality rate due to delays in diagnostics. There is an urgent need to develop an effective lung cancer prediction model that will help in the early diagnosis of cancer and save patients from unnecessary treatments. The objective of the current paper is to meet the extensiveness measure by using collaborative feature selection and feature extraction methods to enhance the dendritic neural model (DNM) in comparison to traditional machine learning (ML) models with minimum features and boost the accuracy, precision, and sensitivity of lung cancer prediction. Comprehensive experiments on a dataset comprising 1000 lung cancer patients and 23 features obtained from Kaggle. Crucial features are identified, and the proposed method’s effectiveness is evaluated using metrics such as accuracy, precision, F1 score, sensitivity, specificity, and confusion matrix against other ML models. Feature extraction techniques including Principal Component Analysis (PCA), Kernel PCA (K-PCA), and Uniform Manifold Approximation and Projection (UMAP) are employed to optimize model performance. PCA evaluated the DNM accuracy at 96.50%, precision at 96.64% and 97.45% sensitivity. K-PCA explained the DNM accuracy of 98.50%, precision rate of 99.42%, and 98.84% sensitivity and UMAP elaborated the DNM accuracy of 98%, precision of 98.82%, and 98.82% sensitivity. The K-PCA approach showed outstanding performance in enhancing the DNM model. Highlighting the DNM's accurate prediction of lung cancer. These results emphasize the potential of the DNM model to contribute positively to healthcare research by providing better predictive outcomes.

description: A dynamic task scheduling strategy for the distributed processing of large grain dataflow algorithms using embedded firmware on an ATAMM testbed consisting of interconnected microcontrollers is presented in this thesis. The ODU/NASA developed Algorithm to Architecture Mapping Model, ATAMM, uses marked graph models to specify data and control flow for the execution of iterative, deterministic large grain dataflow algorithms in a multicomputing environment. The testbed consists of a bank of four 68HC11 microcontrollers that communicate over a token bus. The token bus arbitration scheme used is contention free and well suited for real-time computing applications. The execution of data flow graphs is simulated on the testbed to evaluate the design approach and experimental results that demonstrate the deterministic execution behavior of the data flow graphs in the presence of low communication overhead are reported. The projected approach may be extended to serve as a model for specifying the control structure for the ATAMM Multicomputer Operating System in hardware specific applications.

description: Malignant gastrointestinal neuroectodermal tumor (GNET) is an ultra-rare soft tissue sarcoma, therefore often misdiagnosed and has no available standard treatment. Here, we report 3 cases of metastatic GNET with variable clinical courses. Our small case series as well as extensive literature review, further support that GNET is a spectrum of diseases with variable inherent biology and prognosis. Surgical management in the setting of recurrent/metastatic disease may be appropriate for GNET with indolent nature. Response to systemic treatments including chemotherapy and targeted treatments is variable, likely related to heterogenous biology as well. Furthermore, we retrospectively identified 20 additional GNET cases from Foundation Medicine’s genomic database and expanded on their clinicopathological and genomic features. Comprehensive genomic profiling (CGP) with DNA and RNA sequencing of this cohort, in the course of clinical care, demonstrated recurrent EWSR1 chromosomal rearrangements and a sparsity of additional recurrent or driver genomic alterations. All cases had low tumor mutational burden (TMB) and were microsatellite stable.
Iron Ore Sinter Mineralogy and Properties
Creators: name: Rosa Ignácio, Isis
Publisher: name: Swinburne
Year: 2024

description: Iron ore sinter is crucial for iron and steel production in blast furnaces, but its quality is affected by mineralogy and physical properties. Manipulating sinter properties is challenging due to changing iron ore feed materials and the need to reduce CO2 emissions in production. Recent studies challenge conventional wisdom, suggesting that reducibility is more related to porosity than mineralogy. This project aimed to understand the relationship between sinter mineralogy, porosity, and properties like strength and reducibility. Laboratory-scale experiments showed that mineralogy has a greater impact on reducibility than porosity. Lime and silica additives improved strength. Hydrogen showed promise as a substitute for CO in blast furnaces. These findings challenge traditional sinter concepts and offer insights for improving production, particularly for magnetite ores.

description: Background COVID-19 has significant impact on long-term care (LTC) residents and staff. The purpose of this paper is to report the data gathered during a COVID-19 outbreak in a Canadian LTC home regarding staff experiences, challenges, and needs, to offer lessons learned and implications. Methods A total of 30 staff from multiple disciplines participated in the study, including nurses, care workers, recreational staff, and a unit clerk. Focus groups (n = 20) and one-on-one interviews (n = 10) were conducted as part of a larger participatory action research (PAR) study in a Canadian LTC home. All data collection was conducted virtually via Zoom, and thematic analysis was performed to identify themes. Results Four main themes were identified: We are Proud, We Felt Anxious, We Grew Closer to Residents and Staff Members, and The Vaccines Help. Conclusions This research details the resilience that characterizes staff in LTC, while highlighting the emotional toll of the pandemic, particularly during an outbreak. LTC staff in this study found innovative ways to connect and support residents and this resulted in stronger connections and relationships. Leadership and organizational support are pivotal for supporting team resilience to manage crisis and adapt positively in times of COVID-19 pandemic, especially during the period of outbreak.

description: Bluetongue (BT) is an arthropod-borne viral disease of domestic and wild ruminants caused by Bluetongue virus (BTV). It has been reported in most tropical and subtropical regions of the world which raises significant socioeconomic concerns for international trade in animals and animal roducts. However, recent and updated information related to the current prevalence of BT in Malaysia is limited. The last holistic report was reported during BT outbreaks in the year of 1990s. This study aims to determine the current status of seroprevalence of BT among ruminants in Malaysia from 2013 to 2019. A total of 9,787 serum samples from buffalo, cattle, deer, goat as well as sheep were received from January 2013 until December 2019. All these serum samples were subjected to Agar Gel Immunodiffusion (AGID) test to detect the presence of antibodies towards BTV. The overall status of BTV was 20.18 % (1,975/9,787), with 56 % (14/25) in deer, 46.4 % (428/922) in cattle and 35.7 % (60/168) in buffalo. Positive BT antibodies were detected in young animals (<6 months) with 30.60 %, while 23.61 % in adult animals (>2 years). The results of this study revealed that BTV is still circulating at low level in domestic and wild ruminant livestock animals in Malaysia. It is suggested that this disease needs close monitoring to prevent possible outbreaks in the future.

description: Stingless bee honey (SBH), known as 'Kelulut' honey, holds untapped commercial potential but lacks comprehensive research compared to well-established Apis spp. Acacia and Manuka honeys. This study investigates the physicochemical attributes of selected SBH in Sarawak, contrasting them with Apis spp. Acacia honey from Sarawak and Apis spp. Manuka honey from Australia/New Zealand. By evaluating 20 samples, including properties, phenolic composition, and antioxidant activities, we enhance SBH categorization and quality grading. The findings underscore moisture-driven variations in physicochemical traits and reveal key insights into honey quality. These insights aid SBH's commercial journey and future standardization efforts.

description: Synchronizing hand and foot movements under reactive versus predictive control results in differential timing structures between the responses. Under reactive control, where the movement is externally triggered, the electromyographic (EMG) responses are synchronized, resulting in the hand displacement preceding the foot. Under predictive control, where the movement is self-paced, the motor commands are organized such that the displacement onset occurs relatively synchronously, requiring the EMG onset of the foot to precede that of the hand. The current study used a startling acoustic stimulus (SAS), which is known to involuntarily trigger a prepared response, to investigate whether these results are due to differences in the pre-programmed timing initiation structure of the responses. Participants (n=17) performed isolated and synchronous movements of the right heel and right hand under both reactive and predictive modes of control. The reactive condition involved a simple reaction time (RT) task where participants performed the required movement in response to a visual go-signal. The predictive condition involved an anticipation-timing task where participants initiated the required movement coincidently with a sweeping clock hand reaching a target. On a subset of trials, a SAS (114 dB) was presented 150 ms prior to the imperative stimulus. Results from the SAS trials revealed that while the differential timing structures between the responses was maintained under both reactive and predictive control, the EMG onset asynchrony under predictive control was significantly smaller following the SAS. Additionally, there was no difference in the effect of the SAS when the movements were performed in isolation versus synchronously. Together, these results suggest that the timing between the responses, which differs between the two control modes, is pre-programmed; however, under predictive control, an increase in cortical activation from the SAS may have shortened the between-limb delay.

Holotype. ITALY: Sardinia: Cala Fuili, 40.256°N / 9.624°E, 30 m, 28.4.2018, ♀ (leg. D. Bénon). Holotype deposited in the Entomological Collection of ETH Zurich.
Diagnosis. The females of Osmia sardoa (Fig. 44), which have a body length of 9–10 mm, are morphologically very similar to those of O. leaiana, both differ by the following characters from closely related O. (Helicosmia) species: i) apical margin of clypeus medially with two or rarely three teeth, which usually enclose two narrow tufts of yellowish hairs (Fig. 46); ii) base of mandible supramedially with distinct polished bump; and iii) interspaces between punctures of posterior surface of propodeum distinctly shagreened. The females of O. sardoa (Fig. 44) can easily be separated from those of O. leaiana by the following characters: i) pilosity of head, mesosoma and terga foxy red and of same colour as metasomal scopa (Fig. 44, 45; pilosity whitish to yellowish and of distinctly lighter colour than orange metasomal scopa in O. leaiana); ii) marginal zones of terga 1–5 with dense foxy-red pilosity forming distinct hair bands (Fig. 45; marginal zones with very sparse whitish to yellowish pilosity not forming distinct hair bands in O. leaiana); iii) pilosity of tergal discs 2–4 longer with longest hairs distinctly longer than tarsal segment 3 of hind leg (pilosity shorter with longest hairs about as long as tarsal segment 3 of hind leg in O. leaiana); and iv) metallic sheen of body more extended: central face, mesepisternum and scutellum slightly green metallic and clypeus, gena vertex, scutum, propodeum and terga partly weakly purple metallic (metallic sheen usually limited to terga, which are partly weakly green metallic in O. leaiana). The male of O. sardoa is unknown.
Description. Except for the characters given in the diagnosis, the females of O. sardoa are morphologically identical to those of the widespread and well-known O. leaiana. Therefore, no detailed description of the new species is given here.
Distribution. Sardinia.
Etymology. The species epithet refers to the occurrence of the species on Sardinia (lat. “sardous” = Sardinian).

description: Background Hyperinsulinemia is independently associated with increased risk and mortality of pancreatic cancer. We recently reported that genetically reduced insulin production resulted in ~ 50% suppression of pancreatic intraepithelial neoplasia (PanIN) precancerous lesions in mice. However, only female mice remained normoglycemic, and only the gene dosage of the rodent-specific Ins1 alleles was tested in our previous model. Moreover, we did not delve into the molecular and cellular mechanisms associated with modulating hyperinsulinemia. Methods We studied how reduced Ins2 gene dosage affects PanIN lesion development in both male and female Ptf1aCreER;KrasLSL-G12D mice lacking the rodent-specific Ins1 gene (Ins1-/-). We generated control mice having two alleles of the wild-type Ins2 gene (Ptf1aCreER;KrasLSL-G12D;Ins1-/-;Ins2+/+) and experimental mice having one allele of Ins2 gene (Ptf1aCreER;KrasLSL-G12D;Ins1-/-;Ins2+/-). We then performed thorough histopathological analyses and single-cell transcriptomics for both genotypes and sexes. Results High-fat diet–induced hyperinsulinemia was transiently or modestly reduced in female and male mice, respectively, with only one allele of Ins2. This occurred without dramatically affecting glucose tolerance. Genetic reduction of insulin production resulted in mice with a tendency for less PanIN and acinar-to-ductal metaplasia (ADM) lesions. Using single-cell transcriptomics, we found hyperinsulinemia affected multiple cell types in the pancreas, with the most statistically significant effects on local immune cell types that were highly represented in our sampled cell population. Specifically, hyperinsulinemia modulated pathways associated with protein translation, MAPK-ERK signaling, and PI3K-AKT signaling, which were changed in epithelial cells and subsets of immune cells. Conclusions These data suggest a potential role for the immune microenvironment in hyperinsulinemia-driven PanIN development. Together with our previous work, we propose that mild suppression of insulin levels may be useful in preventing pancreatic cancer by acting on multiple cell types.

description: Alpha Centauri AB system contains the closest Sun-like stars to the Sun, by a large margin (factor of 2.4). This confers considerable advantages to the detection and characterization of planets around them, especially with direct imaging and astrometry. In particular, a planet around Alpha Centauri A or B would appear at least 6x brighter, and at least 2.4x more separated from its host star, than a similar planet around any other Sun-like star. Further, one of the stars (B) is a K-dwarf, where the planet-star flux ratio for a potentially habitable planet can be as high as 1e-9 (at least in Gibbous phase), while still appearing at a relatively large separation angle of 0.4" from its host star, due to the system's unusual proximity to us. However, any effort to search for planets around Alpha Centauri AB must face several critical questions: whether planets can exist in the system, what their expected occurrence rate is, and what kinds of planets are possible and/or likely. In particular, whether potentially habitable planets are possible, and what their occurrence rate is. This paper combines the current knowledge of occurrence rates, corrections for binarity specific to Alpha Centauri, limits from RV non-detections, and dynamical stability simulations, in order to answer these questions. We also consider how the possible Alpha Centauri Ab planet candidate announced by the NEAR project might affect the occurrence rates and types of planets in the system. In particular, we first use and compare two Kepler-based occurrence rates as our baseline: Dulz et al. 2020 and Bryson et al. 2021 (the former was used for LUVOIR and HabEx yield estimation, and the latter was the final occurrence rate paper by the Kepler mission team). We then apply the binarity corrections from Moe et al. 2021 to account for Alpha Centauri AB binarity. Finally, we apply constraints on planet mass-period space from RV non-detections (Zhao et al. 2018), and from dynamical stability limits (Quarles and Lissauer 2016, and others) to obtain the occurrence rate distribution for each of the two stars. We use the resulting occurrence rate distribution, and its uncertainties, to obtain the occurrence rates and uncertainties for different types of planets, including potentially habitable ones, as well as the overall occurrence rate. We also identify the likeliest planets that may exist in the system, and assess the probability of no planets at all.

description: Große Veränderungen stehen an, um die ökologischen Belastungsgrenzen einzuhalten, aber auch, wenn das Wohlergehen aller Menschen und die globale sowie generationenübergreifende Gerechtigkeit ernst genommen werden. Wir wissen zwar viel darüber, was sich ändern soll (z. B. Energie-, Mobilitäts-, Ressourcenwende), scheitern aber oft an der breiten Umsetzung. Viel weniger wissen wir über die zentralen Erfolgsfaktoren für gesellschaftliche Veränderungen und die Wege zu einem erfolgreichen Wandel. Um in einer unübersichtlichen Welt wirken zu können, entwickeln die Wissenschaften und wir alle im Alltag Modelle. Trotz vieler Unterschiede ziehen sich durch die Modelle gemeinsame Erkenntnisse und zentrale Erfolgsfaktoren. Anknüpfend an die Transformations- und Models-of-Change-Forschung stellt der Artikel die zentralen Faktoren für den Erfolg gesellschaftlicher Veränderungen dar. Quelle: http://link.springer.com

description: Replacement name for Hoplitis (Anthocopa) convolvuli Müller, 2022
Ducke (1899) described Hoplitis papaveris convolvuli as a variety of Hoplitis papaveris (Latreille, 1799) due to slight morphological differences and its pollen specialization to flowers of Convolvulus (Convolvulaceae). Ducke’s taxon was later synonymized by Tkalců (1969) with Hoplitis perezi (Ferton, 1895), which has a wide distribution ranging from the southwestern Mediterranean region over southern Europe and Turkey to Central Asia. Müller (2022) made a nomenclatural mistake and produced a nomen praeoccupatum, when he named a Moroccan Hoplitis species as Hoplitis convolvuli Müller, 2022, a species that is most probably endemic to Morocco and not conspecific with H. perezi. This mistake is corrected here by proposing the following replacement name for the Moroccan endemic: Hoplitis (Anthocopa) trabutiana nom. nov .. The species epithet refers to Convolvulus trabutianus, which is used by the females of this species as an important source for both pollen and brood cell building material and by the males as rendezvous place (Müller 2022).

description: antes de hablar de gesto y cognición es importante sentar las bases que dan sentido a la comunicación y su transformación con el pasar del tiempo, hasta llegar al punto de hablar sobre los gestos modales y la cognición, ya que la comunicación entre dos seres humanos es básicamente el intercambio de información, que se produce entre dos o más individuos con el objetivo de aportar información y recibirla. En este proceso intervienen un emisor y un receptor. Ahora bien, para realizar una comunicación el modelo principal debe ser el lenguaje a través de las palabras que se emiten entre las personas, la comunicación y el lenguaje hace parte de nuestras vidas diarias y de la evolución de la conducta humana.

description: The recently approved delamanid (DLM) and pretomanid (PTM) improved the existing options to treat multidrug-resistant tuberculosis (MDR-TB). However, the high spontaneous mutation rates in mycobacterial F420 genes ddn, fgd1, fbiA, fbiB, fbiC, and fbiD create a bottleneck to successful anti-TB treatments. Of known mutations, identifying the therapeutically relevant ones is a prerequisite for understanding the drug resistance mechanism. Here, we applied a multistep computational pipeline to rank the mutations in F420 genes associated with DLM/PTM resistance. The DLM-/PTM-resistant protein mutants were built and simulated their innate sensitivity towards the drugs. The molecular dynamics (MD) and molecular mechanics Poisson–Boltzmann surface area (MM-PBSA) calculations quantified the effect of key mutations on drug union. The dynamic cross-correlated map (DCCM) and principal component analysis (PCA) showed a substantial link between the drug binding region and other sections in the mutants, hints to their potential role as an allosteric site. Also, the alterations induced conformationally unstable proteins with decreased DLM/PTM affinity. These investigations highlighted the DLM-tolerant G53D and Y65S and PTM-resilient Y133M (Ddn), L308P (FbiA), and C562W (FbiC) as candidate loss-of-function mutants of progressive research. The present results and interpretations could supply vital clues for protein engineering and drug development.
