description: We present a new open source Python library to apply image-space modal analysis to surgical videos called PyModalSurgical. This repository collects and deploys the necessary tools to calculate the frequency response of deforming tissue directly from surgical videos. This method is known as Modal Analysis and it is widely used in many areas of engineering for the characterization of mechanical systems. To perform such analysis, we use a combination of well-known and widely used foundation models such as MiDaS or RAFT. The resultant mode shapes provide a physically relevant solution to the mass-spring system modelling soft tissue small deformations and represent the basis of motion of the tissue in the image-space.

As a result, this repository could potentially be used to generate force labels for self-supervised training of neural network models; estimate forces in remote areas far from force sensors or contacts and generate force maps to evaluate the performance of surgeons purely based on the information captured from video. Additionally, we provide the possibility to generate visually realistic direct manipulation interactive demos from video sources, to test both the reconstructed force and visual feedback.

description: Recovery from traumatic muscle injuries is typically prolonged and incomplete, leading to impaired muscle and joint function. We sought to determine whether mechanical stimulation via whole-body low-intensity vibration (LIV) could (1) improve muscle regeneration and (2) reduce muscle fibrosis following traumatic injury. C57BL/6J mice were subjected to a laceration of the gastrocnemius muscle and were treated with LIV (0.2 g at 90 Hz or 0.4 g at 45 Hz for 30 min/day) or non-LIV sham treatment (controls) for seven or 14 days. Muscle regeneration and fibrosis were assessed in hematoxylin and eosin or Masson's trichrome stained muscle cryosections, respectively. Compared to non-LIV control mice, the myofiber cross-sectional area was larger in mice treated with each LIV protocol after 14 days of treatment. Minimum fiber diameter was also larger in mice treated with LIV of 90 Hz/0.2 g after 14 days of treatment. There was also a trend toward a reduction in collagen deposition after 14 days of treatment with 45 Hz/0.4 g (p = 0.059). These findings suggest that LIV may improve muscle healing by enhancing myofiber growth and reducing fibrosis. The LIV-induced improvements in muscle healing suggest that LIV may represent a novel therapeutic approach for improving the healing of traumatic muscle injuries.

description: In the second part of our talk, the construction process of our newly developed rating scale will be explained in more detail. In this context, first the shortcomings of already existing item/indicator lists will be addressed. Thus, our goal was to develop a structured and reliable assessment tool, which can be rated based on file information and which is meant to be used mainly for research purposes, however, which can be of some value for clinicians and practitioners as well. To address this goal, in a first step we invited 14 Experts in the field to rate how unambiguous and assessable the first draft of our items and itemdescriptions were. We then adjusted the scale accordingly. A first version of the assessment tool is presented. A valid and reliable assessment of offense dynamics allows us to describe the heterogeneous group of sexual offenders in a more nuanced way, which is an important basis for many research questions. In therapeutic contexts it can also be helpful to sensitize clinicians for the individual‘s criminogenic needs and risk factors in order to derive adequate therapeutic methods and goals.

Mai 2024 ein, der sich mit der strafrechtlichen Verantwortung für die Ausübung des Begnadigungsrechts durch den ehemaligen georgischen Präsidenten Mikheil Saakashvili zu befassen hatte. Der Autor stellt zunächst den Sachverhalt des zugrunde liegenden Falles dar. Dabei beschränkt er sich auf die Analyse des Falles, in dem Saakaschwili wegen Amtsmissbrauchs verurteilt wurde, weil er ehemalige Polizisten aus politischen Gründen begnadigt hatte, die sich des Mordes schuldig gemacht haben. Anschließend wird das Urteil im Hinblick auf seine Anwendung von Art. 7 EMRK untersucht. Der Autor konzentriert sich dabei auf die Frage, ob die Strafe aufgrund der Gewährung einer Begnadigung „vorhersehbar“ im Sinne der ständigen Rechtsprechung des EGMR zu Art. 7 EMRK war. Darüber hinaus zeigt er auf, warum im rechtsvergleichenden Teil des Urteils die Grenzen des Begnadigungsrechts des Staatsoberhauptes nicht vertretbar herausarbeitet wurden. Insbesondere sei die Entstehung von Völkergewohnheitsrecht hinsichtlich der Immunität von Staatsoberhäuptern bei der Ausübung der Begnadigungsbefugnis ausgeschlossen.

description: AIM: Investigate the immediate effect of low intensity vibration on skin blood flow and its underlying control mechanisms in healthy human participants. MATERIALS AND METHODS: One-group pre-post design in a university laboratory setting. Nine adults underwent two bouts of 10-minute vibration (30Hz, peak acceleration 0.4g). Outcome measures include skin blood flow, and skin temperature on the right foot. To examine the control mechanisms underlying the vibration-induced blood flow response, SHORT-TIME Fourier analyses were computed to obtain the spectral densities for three frequency bands: metabolic (0.0095-0.02Hz), neurogenic (0.02-0.06Hz), and myogenic (0.06-0.15Hz). Non-parametric Friedman's tests were computed to compare changes of the outcome measures and control mechanisms over the course of vibration. RESULTS: Vibration increased skin blood flow during both bouts of vibration, however the effect did not last after vibration was terminated. Myogenic spectral density increased during both bouts of vibration, whereas the metabolic and neurogenic spectral densities increased only during the 2nd bout of vibration. Interestingly, only the metabolic spectral density remained elevated after vibration ended. CONCLUSION: Low intensity vibration produced acute increases in skin blood flow mediated in part by vascular control mechanisms of myogenic origin. Further investigation is warranted to determine whether low intensity vibration induces similar increases in skin blood flow in populations prone to developing chronic non-healing wounds, such as spinal cord injury and diabetes.

description: Introduction: In offending populations, prevalence rates of mental disorders are much higher than in the general population. Nevertheless, it is unclear whether mental disorders can improve the prediction of recidivism beyond actuarial risk assessment tools. Methods: The present prospective-longitudinal study was conducted between 2001 and 2021 and included 1066 men convicted of sexual offenses in Austria. All participants were evaluated with actuarial risk assessment tools for the prediction of sexual and violent recidivism and the Structured Clinical Interview for Axis I and Axis II disorders. Sexual and violent reconvictions were assessed. Results: Exhibitionism and an exclusive pedophilia showed the strongest correlations with sexual recidivism in the total sample. In the child related offense subsample additionally a narcissistic personality disorder was correlated with sexual recidivism. The strongest correlation with violent recidivism was found for an antisocial and borderline personality disorder. None of the mental disorders could improve the prediction of recidivism beyond actuarial risk assessment tools. Conclusion: Common current actuarial risk assessment tools revealed good predictive accuracy in men convicted of sexual offenses. With few exceptions mental disorders were only weakly associated with recidivism, suggesting that there is no direct link between mental disorders and violent and sexual reoffending. Mental disorders should nevertheless be considered in treatment issues.
THE MAIN LINGUACULTURAL FEATURES OF PROPER NOUNS IN ENGLISH AND UZBEK.

description: Proper nouns in English and Uzbek share some similarities but also have distinct linguacultural features. In English, proper nouns typically start with a capital letter and are used to identify specific people, places, organizations, and things. They can be names of individuals (e.g., John, London), geographical locations (e.g., Pacific Ocean, Mount Everest), companies (e.g., Apple Inc.), and more. English proper nouns often reflect the cultural and historical background of the English-speaking world.
Ecological and forest inventory observations as landscape state indicators: Imputation for forest inventory and plant community classification

Publisher: name: F1000Research

description: Background/Question/Methods
Considering ecological information in forest management planning has long been of interest to applied forest ecologists and managers. While managed forest stands provide ecological benefits, these may be different from the services and values supported by native ecosystems and plant communities. To better understand the implications of management for biological diversity, ecosystem services, timber and other interests, an ecological classification methodology matched with existing forest inventory and management operations is proposed. This methodology makes use of nearly 17,000 native plant community (NPC) observations provided by the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources (MNDNR) and others. These observations cover the period from 1964 – 2015, and coincide with stands monitored by the MNDNR Division of Forestry. Here, we extrapolate observed ecological conditions and growth information to very similar, nearby management units using a categorical maximum likelihood approach to imputation. We repeat the procedure for systematic forest inventory plots overlaid with NPC classified stands. The resulting representative sample of observed entities is then used to impute classifications for the full set of inventory records. This process allows for quantification of the ecological landscape state indicators (e.g., in terms of area occupied and other characteristics) provided by NPC classifications and associated data.

Results/Conclusions
With a success rate of 83% for imputation of NPC class on USDA Forest Service Forest Inventory and Analysis (FIA) plots sampled between 1977 and 2014, the process described here efficiently classifies forest inventory units with respect to native plant community association. The outcome of this approach could have broad implications for extending our understanding of and capacity to sustainably manage broadly distributed regional forest landscapes. Analysis of observed and imputed classifications also indicates that NPC class often provides insight on different growth patterns and eventual yield of forested stands. This enhanced understanding of landscape ecological conditions can, in turn, lead to better informed management decisions. While this work addresses one step in the iterative process of adaptive landscape management, it bridges the gap between our understanding of landscape ecological characteristics and using that information to set specific, actionable management goals. Given a set of landscape ecological state indicators, like that provided by NPC class, we can begin to answer questions about the adequacy of current conditions for habitat, biodiversity, demographic sustainability, and societal values derived from the forested landscape. We can then set rational and achievable management goals connected to strategic actions supporting a desired future condition.

description: The gut microbiome of honey bees (Apis mellifera) is relatively simple, with 9 host-adapted bacterial phylotypes. The simplicity of this system and its similarity to mammal gut microbiomes makes it a tractable model to study host-associated microbial communities. Two bacterial species play a key role in bee’s digestion and health: Gilliamella apicola, a fermenter feeding on carbohydrates (glucose, fructose) and Snodgrassella alvi, micro-aerobe feeding on carboxylates (acetate). This remarkable niche partitioning is complemented by putative cross-feeding interactions: G. apicola releases acetate necessary for S. alvi growth, whereas S. alvi excretes amino-acids needed by G. apicola. The two species, which have evolved together since the origin of the pollen-basket bee family 80 million years ago, form a two-layer biofilm in the ileum.

To understand the bee ileum microbial system, we ask the following questions:
i) What are the dynamics of biomass and nutrients concentrations in the gut, the conditions for co-existence of the two species, and the advantages the bee can take from the cross-feeding system?
ii) How does the liquid 'flow' physically influences the system? (x-space)
iii) How does oxygen concentration impact bacteria metabolism (oxygen diffusing from outside the bee)? (y-space)

Here we develop a novel mathematical model of a bee gut to describe bacterial cross-feeding interactions in realistic conditions. We compare the results to in vivo experimental data and investigate the stability and robustness of the system. We then extend the model to a 1D spatial model to investigate the role of liquid flow and peristaltic remixing in the gut. Finally, we used genome-scale metabolic modelling (Flux Balance Analysis and Dynamic Flux Balance Analysis) of the core metabolic networks of G. apicola and S. alvi to understand the effect of oxygen concentration on the metabolism of the two species, especially the transition in fermentative products excretion and uptake.

description: Through a collaboration with the National Park Service, CNPS and NatureServe ecologists compiled over 9,000 new and existing vegetation surveys and analyzed over 4,000 surveys from three parks and other areas in the Mojave Desert and related ecoregions. A vegetation classification was developed, identifying approximately 105 alliances and related types from Lake Mead National Recreation Area, Mojave National Preserve, and Death Valley National Park within the Mojave Desert Network Inventory & Monitoring (MOJN I&M). This project’s data analyses of three park areas spanned more than 4 million acres of area, plus enabled cross-analyses with other parks and preserves such as Joshua Tree National Park in California and Red Rock Canyon National Conservation Area in Nevada. We used classification and ordination methods such as agglomerative cluster analysis, indicator species analysis, and Nonmetric Multidimensional Scaling (NMDS) to inform the vegetation classification of the park areas.

This dynamic analysis process allowed for broad development and interpretation of the National Vegetation Classification (NVC), resulting in an evaluation of and updates for the NVC hierarchy especially at the macrogroup, group, alliance, and association levels. This project also enabled ecologists to increase both exposure to and peer review of the NVC standard, and to promote the networking of ecologists in the western U.S.  Various examples of the revised NVC hierarchy and expansion of the classification at the alliance and association levels are elucidated in this project.  For example, the Pleuraphis rigida Desert Grassland Alliance was previously placed in a mid-elevation mixed desert scrub group and has now been moved into a desert dune & sand flat group within a different macrogroup, while another alliance of Cylindropuntia acanthocarpa / Pleuraphis rigida Shrubland Alliance has been accepted within that former desert scrub group.

description: Cette étude visait à examiner le rôle et l’influence des variables institutionnelles dans l’adoption de la technologie d’irrigation localisée (TIL) par les agriculteurs de la région Draa- Tafilalt. Partant de la nature de notre problématique et pour pouvoir tester les hypothèses bâtis autour de notre modèle conceptuel, nous avons adopté dans le présent travail la démarche hypothético-déductive qui s’inscrit dans une perspective « positiviste » et la méthode quantitative par questionnaire en face à face comme stratégie de la recherche. L’estimation des paramètres du modèle logit binaire à l’aide du logiciel SPSS version 25, effectuée sur la base des données recueillies par questionnaire auprès de 400 agriculteurs de la région Draa-Tafilalt a révélé que parmi les cinq variables institutionnelles utilisées dans cette étude, quatre variables ont un effet significatif et positif sur la probabilité d'adoption de la TIL. Trois variables avec moins de 1% du niveau de probabilité (« l’accès au crédit », « l’accès à la subvention » et « L’influence sociale ») et une variable avec moins de 5% du niveau de probabilité (« le contact avec les agents de vulgarisation »). De manière inattendue, le résultat de la régression logistique binaire a révélé aussi que le rôle de la variable explicative « l’appartenance à un coopérative ou association » dans l’adoption de la TIL dans la région d’étude n’est pas significatif.

description: Poster presentation presented by Valérie Smolders at the ERS 2017 on September 11th 2017, Milan, Italy. This poster summarize the results from endothelial cells derived from patients with CTEPH. Both functional and metabolic studies are described.

Rationale: Material obtained at pulmonary endarterectomy (PEA) offers the unique opportunity to unravel pathophysiological mechanisms underlying CTEPH. Vascular changes occurring in CTEPH might be linked to metabolic dysregulation of CTEPH endothelial cells (EC). The aim of this study was the development of an in vitro model of EC pathology using primary cultures of patient derived EC to assay cell metabolism in CTEPH.

Method: Like previously showed, isolated cells from specimens collected at PEA (N=12) were confirmed as being EC. Cell migration was evaluated using scratch assay. Metabolic changes in CTEPH-EC are being studied using RT-PCR, Western-Blot and colorimetric assays.

Results: CTEPH-EC showed a reduced capacity to recover from a scratch when compared with human pulmonary arterial endothelial cells (HPAE) (1-way anova, p<0.0001). HIF-1a was highly expressed in CTEPH-EC when compared with HPAE cells (3.21±1.38 vs 1.54±0.87; p<0.001). Lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) activity, measured in the supernatant of cultured cells, was higher for CETPH-EC when compared with controls (77.57±12.11 vs 53.82±3.70; p<0.001). The amount of lactate in the supernatant of CETPH-EC was higher when compared to HPAE cells, whereas glucose was lower in comparison with controls (Lactate: 6.80±2.19 vs 4.49±2.29; p<0.05, Glucose: 48.31±21.89 vs 60±20.80; p>0.05).

Conclusion: CTEPH-EC show functional impairment. Higher expression of HIF-1a is a noteworthy link with metabolic alterations. Preliminary data suggesting an increase in LDH activity can be explained, at least partially, by higher expression of HIF-1a. Variations in lactate and glucose support the presence of a metabolic pathophenotype in CTEPH-EC.

description: Background/Question/Methods
Phenotypic plasticity can manifest itself as polyphenisms, where two or more alternative, environmentally-cued phenotypes are produced from the same genotype. Facultativelypaedomorphic salamanders are polyphenic in that they can forego metamorphosis into terrestrial adults and instead reproduce as aquatic paedomorphs. Prevailing theory proposes that facultative paedomorphosis offers advantages over fixed developmental trajectories when aquatic conditions are favorable. Since metamorphosis is typically initiated in response to environmental stressors (deteriorating aquatic conditions), we investigated whether the stress hormone corticosterone (CORT) alters the probability of paedomorphosis. To do this, we examined the effects of exogenous application of CORT on the development and post-larval phenotype of mole salamanders, Ambystoma talpoideum. We utilized 32 large mesocosms (1200L) arranged into eight replicates (n=8) of four different treatments (k=4) where all mesocosms were identical except for differing doses of exogenous CORT repeatedly applied to the water (Control = 0mg CORT, Low = 6mg, Medium = 30mg, High = 60mg).

Results/Conclusions
We found strong effects of treatment on phenotype, with the highest proportion of paedomorphs occurring in Control and incrementally smaller proportions of paedomorphs found with increasing CORT dosage. High CORT produced no paedomorphs. Though survivorship, time to metamorphosis, mass at metamorphosis and mass of paedomorphs typically differ between the two life history strategies, we found no effect of treatment. These results show that stress hormones play an integral role in regulating the expression of paedomorphic and adult phenotypes. The endocrine mechanisms influencing life history transitions provide insights into how multiple environmental cues may influence the same process, thereby synthesizing theoretical models of metamorphosis and paedomorphosis.
Using market models to evaluate returns versus risk in ecological portfolios

description: Background/Question/Methods

Modern portfolio theory is useful for understanding emergent properties of ecological systems and developing effective recovery plans for at-risk species. In particular, there are two general forms of risk with respect to financial markets that are useful in a conservation context. Systematic risk reflects vulnerability to large-scale events that affect entire markets (e.g., government policy). Unsystematic risk is specific to particular securities (e.g., droughts affect commodities like corn with no effect on oil). Portfolio diversification is useful for reducing an investor’s exposure to various unsystematic risks, but only to the extent that the assets are independent from systematic risk. Thus, one should have an understanding of an asset’s sensitivity to systematic risk relative to its return before including it in a portfolio. I adopted a traditional market model to estimate how 21 populations of threatened Pacific salmon (assets) responded to changes in ocean-climate indices (market forces) known to have large-scale effects on them. Specifically, I used multivariate dynamic linear models to examine (1) temporally evolving changes in the magnitude of risk among populations, and (2) shifts in the relationship between risk and normalized returns over time.

Results/Conclusions

I found considerable diversity in population-specific estimates of systematic risk over time. Variability in the returns of some populations was almost always independent of the Pacific Decadal Oscillation (PDO) and the North Pacific Gyre Oscillation (NPGO), whereas other populations had wide swings in their sensitivity to the PDO or NPGO. In addition, the trajectories were highly correlated with one another within two of the pre-determined “major population groups”, but much less so in the other two suggesting greater population diversity. Phase-plane portraits showing one-year ahead forecasts of systematic risk versus forecasted returns revealed three general types of populations: 1) those with consistently low risk and above-average returns; 2) those with consistently low risk but below-average returns; and 3) those with both highly variable risks and returns. This approach offers a framework for prioritizing conservation efforts by distinguishing those populations that might benefit most from restoration actions, from those that may serve as so-called bellwether populations.
A stand-scale paleoecological perspective on temperate oak forest dynamics: Implications for understanding contemporary oak decline

description: Background/Question/Methods:

Recruitment failure of oak (Quercus) during the past century has raised concerns about ongoing changes in temperate forests of the eastern United States. Although the causes of oak decline and the associated forest changes are widely debated, most arguments have focused on the effects of fire suppression or increased moisture availability. Paleoecological records of pollen and charcoal have been developed in oak-dominated regions to provide a long-term perspective, but these records have largely focused on regional scales and most have been poorly resolved temporally and/or taxonomically. Stand-scale, taxonomically precise vegetation histories are relatively uncommon, and may provide insight into patterns and processes at scales particularly relevant to adaptive management. In this study we utilized pollen, charcoal, and plant macrofossils preserved in Turtlehead Rock Bog, a small floating peatland (~110 m2) occupying a forest depression in an oak and black birch (Betula lenta) dominated forest in southwestern Pennsylvania, to provide high-resolution records of vegetation and fire for approximately the last 900 years. Comparisons among wetland and upland vegetation, fire history, and regional paleoclimate records were used to examine long-term forest dynamics and their sensitivity to fire and climate variability.

Results/Conclusions:

Results indicate that oak (likely Q. prinus and Q. rubra) and black birch have dominated the site for the last 900 years, and that fire frequency and oak abundance both gradually declined until European land-clearance. Although forest and wetland communities were relatively stable during this time, a widespread drought at 550 yr BP was associated with the largest fire in the record, the formation of the modern floating peat mat, and a modest increase in black birch abundance. These patterns support a historic linkage between oak recruitment and fire frequency, and show that forest composition remained relatively stable through temperature and moisture changes. However, European land-clearance and the pathogen-driven loss of American chestnut (Castanea dentata) were followed by dramatic shifts in the abundance of oak, birch, and other species. Interestingly, the pollen record also shows that oak populations have expanded within the last century, reaching abundances not observed for the past 400 years, despite fire suppression. Human modification of the landscape and/or recent climate trends appear to have substantially altered the long-term linkage between fire and oak abundance, warranting caution in using controlled burns to increase oak recruitment on the modern landscape.
Environmental change, temporal heterogeneity and fragmented habitats: modeling eutrophication in a metacommunity microcosm

description: Community ecology has long focused on processes that regulate patterns of species distribution and abundance. Facing an era of anthropogenic global change and biodiversity loss, strategies of conservation biology are increasingly relevant. With this background, our research deals with temporal and spatial aspects of two of the biodiversity threats, namely fragmentation and eutrophication. According to literature, pulsed nutrient addition increases phytoplankton diversity by allowing higher number of coexisting species. Furthermore, it is known the benefit of intermediate connectivity in metacommunity landscape in increasing primary producers diversity. However, it is yet unclear if those two factors are additive in increasing diversity and if the grazers responses are related to their prey. With the goal of understanding how eutrophication impacts biodiversity in a metacommunity landscape, we hypothesized that pulsed eutrophication rather than continuous nutrient addition will increase diversity not only among autotrophs, but also in their grazers, and these effects will be even greater in a metacommunity landscape. To test this hypothesis, we experimentally manipulated different ways to load nutrients to an aquatic model system. The eutrophication dissimilarity was created by adding nutrients either continuously with a peristaltic pump, or pulsed, pipetting once a week. In addition, two different topologies (isolated patch vs. metacommunity) were also compared, resulting in 2X2 factorial treatment combination. The experimental community was composed by phytoplankton, as primary producers, and microzooplankton, as grazers.  The data were analyzed with two-way repeated-measures ANOVA, with local and regional species Shannon diversity being estimated.
