The Presidentialisation of Political Parties in Albania: Parliamentary Constraints
Creators: name: Krasniqi, Afrim
Publisher: name: Palgrave Macmillan Cham
Year: 2018

description: This study purports to analyse the covert elements of presidentialism in Albania's political parties. It aims at showing how political leaders are the centrepieces of the system; how Albania's political parties predominantly serve as only extensions of their authoritarian leaders during election campaign and in the daily political debate. Still, regardless of their overtly subservient posture towards the narratives of their leaders, Albanian parties possess and exercise more power than the Constitution and Legislation allocates to them. This study takes into account the fact that the constitutional changes during the years have violated the principle of balance of power and the distribution of political clout, thus creating political institutions that are only officialized extensions of powerful political leaders. The study defends the thesis that prevailing elements of presidentialism in Albania's political parties are formidable barriers to their reform and provides recommendations for a more representative parliamentary system, which is more competitive, more open to actual representation of a larger variety of needs and interests, and less prone of falling prey to the full control of the traditional political leaders and to the interests vested into them.

description: Fungi provide an essential role to the ecosystem they inhabit by decomposing dead organic material; however they have been little studied in Northern Manitoba. Payuk Lake is located within a chain of lakes that make up the headwaters of the Grass River. This region is currently under consideration for conservation. The objectives of this study were to investigate the mycological diversity of Payuk Lake, MB, and to examine the difference in mycological diversity between Jack Pine (Pinus banksiana) and Black Spruce (Picea mariana) and the heights on each tree trunk. Bark samples were collected from three heights on Jack Pine and Black Spruce trees along the ridges of Payuk Lake. The bark samples were dried and placed in moist chambers for three weeks and described using the dissecting and compound light microscopes. A total of 18 organisms were cultured from the bark samples, nine of which were classified as myxomycetes. Two-way cluster analysis showed that the most common organisms were zygomycetes, and the uncommon were myxomycetes. Cluster analysis also showed distinct clustering between tree species and heights. Shannon’s diversity index was not significant between Jack Pine and Black Spruce, but trends were evident. The diversity of fungi, and other organisms, could be large and should be further investigated to better understand the importance of the Payuk Lake region and to help conserve the headwaters of the Grass River.

Investigating the N-terminal deletion in Mitochondrial Voltage-Dependent Anion Channels in Neurospora crassa
Creators: name: Kovaltchouk, Uliana Maria
name: Court, Deborah
Publisher: name: Proceedings of Manitoba's Undergraduate Science and Engineering Research
Year: 2013

description: The mitochondrial outer membrane consists of a class of porin –VDAC – that facilitate diffusion of small hydrophilic molecules across the outer membrane. VDAC proteins share a prominent property in which they display voltage-dependent conformational changes involved in gating when reconstituted into planar lipid bilayers (Benz 1994). The N-terminus of VDAC is the focus of this study, due to conflicting structural and electrophysiological results presented by Geula et al. 2012 and Teijido et al 2012. Thus, it proves essential to verify the N-terminus’s function and mobility in VDAC gating mechanism. The objective of this study is to determine the basis for the phenotypic differences seen in two generated Neurospora crassa strains (∆N2a, WS125.5) that originally had identical VDAC N-terminal deletions of amino acids 2-12. Qualitative and quantitative phenotypic analysis was conducted using race tubes; ∆N2a displayed growth rates at a midpoint between wild-type and WS125.5 growth rates, while WS125.5 displayed significantly reduced growth rates. Genomic DNA was extracted from both variants and sequenced using BigDye Termination 3.1, revealing the N-terminal deletion in ∆N2a. Sequences from WS125.5 failed to provide information regarding the N-terminal deletion in the strain due to incorrect annealing of primers. However, PCR analysis -- using predetermined primers -- of genomic segments of WS125.5 resulted in a double banding pattern -- a band that is characteristic for wild-type and a band characteristic for the strain. This indicates that WS125.5 is a heterokaryon; however, because it does not exhibit the wild type growth phenotype suggests that the N-terminal porin deletion is a dominant deletion.

E-cadherin, catenin, cytoskeletal interactions and induced pluripotency
Creators: name: Kawalec, Martha

Publisher: name: Proceedings of Manitoba's Undergraduate Science and Engineering Research
Year: 2013

description: Pluripotency is defined as the capability of cells to differentiate into cell types derived from each of the three embryonic germ layers (Kelly et al., 2011). Induced pluripotency defines a process of epigenetic reprogramming in which epigenetic changes implemented during differentiation are reversed to generate cells with a stem-like phenotype. Fibroblasts (Takahashi and Yamanaka, 2006; Sommer et al., 2009), human keratinocytes (Aasen et al., 2008) and nasal mucosal cells (Ono et al., 2012) can be reprogrammed to stem-like cells with introduction of four stem cell transcription factors Oct4, KLF4, Sox2 and c-Myc (OKSM). Previous studies have provided evidence that the adhesion and cellular signaling provided by a glycoprotein, known as E-cadherin, has essential functions in pluripotency. Induced pluripotency has potential medical application which the induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) apply as clinical tools for modeling diseases, drug development, and to deliver cell-replacement therapy to support regenerative medicine (Goldthwaite, 2011).

The present review summarizes our current knowledge on the role of E-cadherin, its cellular signaling and cytoskeletal interactions in the induction and maintenance of pluripotent cells.

description: Gut bacteria and their metabolites influence the immune microenvironment of liver through the gut-liver axis, thus representing emerging therapeutic targets for liver cancer therapy. However, directly manipulating gut microbiota or their metabolites is not practical in clinic since the safety concerns and the complicated mechanism of action. Considering the dysregulated bile acid profiles associated with liver cancer, here we propose a strategy that directly manipulates the primary and secondary bile acid receptors through nanoapproach as an alternative and more precise way for liver cancer therapy. We show that nanodelivery of bile acid receptor modulators elicited robust antitumor immune responses and significantly changed the immune microenvironment in the murine hepatic tumor. In addition, ex vivo stimulation on both murine and patient hepatic tumor tissues suggests the observation here may be meaningful for clinical practice. This study elucidates a novel and precise strategy for liver cancer immunotherapy.

description: In her most celebrated and controversial poem, Goblin Market, Christina Rossetti presents an allegory of her own spiritual journey toward redemption as a woman, a sinner, and a reform worker. Through the stories of three young maidens’ misadventures among the goblin men’s “haunted glen,” Rossetti reveals the unjust Victorian binaries of male versus female, as well as virgin versus prostitute, and proposes an alternative definition of virtue attained through redemption that is accessible to all regardless of gender or social background. Using Jeanie, Lizzie, and Laura as figures for fallen woman, penitent, and sister, Rossetti further recasts the parallel feminine archetypes Eve, Mary, and Mary Magdalene as biblical paradigms of humanity united against the evils of the age, all equally destined for eternal salvation even if patriarchal standards should bar any such woman from an earthly life of honor.

description: Human brain undergoes rapid growth during the first few years of life. While previous research has employed graph theory to study early brain development, it has mostly focused on the topological attributes of the whole brain. However, examining regional graph-theory features may provide unique insights into the development of cognitive abilities. Utilizing a large and longitudinal rsfMRI dataset from the UNC/UMN Baby Connectome Project, we investigated the developmental trajectories of regional efficiency and evaluated the relationships between these changes and cognitive abilities using Mullen Scales of Early Learning during the first twenty-eight months of life. Our results revealed a complex and spatiotemporally heterogeneous development pattern of regional global and local efficiency during this age period. Furthermore, we found that the trajectories of the regional global efficiency at the left temporal occipital fusiform and bilateral occipital fusiform gyri were positively associated with cognitive abilities, including visual reception, expressive language, receptive language, and early learning composite scores (P < 0.05, FDR corrected). However, these associations were weakened with age. These findings offered new insights into the regional developmental features of brain topologies and their associations with cognition and provided evidence of ongoing optimization of brain networks at both whole-brain and regional levels.

Impacts on declining moose populations in southeastern Manitoba
Creators: name: Shura, Chelsey
name: Roth, James
Publisher: name: Proceedings of Manitoba's Undergraduate Science and Engineering Research
Year: 2013

description: Moose (Alces alces) populations in eastern and central North America have declined in many parts of their southern range. Many potential impacts on moose have been suggested as contributing to moose declines, including changing habitat disturbance regimes and enhanced disease transmission through increasing deer populations. We examined factors affecting moose in Game Hunting Area (GHA) 26 in southeastern Manitoba, where moose populations have declined substantially, by comparing provincial aerial survey data with features of the landscape. Moose were more likely to be found in areas with high logging (>25%) and recent forest fires (within the past 30 years), indicating that moose respond favorably to habitat disturbances. The presence of roads did not affect the likelihood of moose presence. Moose were negatively impacted by white-tailed deer (Odocoileus virginianus). We used model selection to determine the variables most important for predicting the presence of moose in GHA 26. The best model included the presence of deer, logging, and forest fires. Among the variables considered, deer presence had the highest relative importance. This study suggests that to increase moose numbers, controlled burns and potential logging areas should be considered as ways to produce new habitat and plant growth for moose in the area. Managing the deer population also could control the effect of the deer brain worm (Parelaphostrongylus tenuis) on the moose population in GHA 26.

description: Glyphosate is a commonly-used agricultural herbicide which enters freshwater sources and risks affecting non-target aquatic organisms, including algae. In this study, lab cultures of Scenedesmus quadricauda and Selenastrum capricornutum were inoculated with glyphosate (Roundup® formulation) to determine its impact on cellular growth and chlorophyll-a (Ch-a) synthesis. A concentration of 10 mg/L of glyphosate significantly inhibited growth and Ch-a synthesis in S. quadricauda and S. capricornutum. Concentrations ranging from 0 to 3 mg/L of glyphosate did not affect cellular growth or Ch-a synthesis in either species. A concentration of 6 mg/L of glyphosate did initially reduce the growth of S. quadricauda, but growth recovered and Ch-a concentrations were high. For S. capricornutum, growth and Ch-a synthesis were low, and pheophytin concentrations were significantly elevated relative to the control at 6 mg/L of glyphosate. Based these results, S. capricornutum was more sensitive to glyphosate than S. quadricauda, which was likely due to differences in the surface area to volume ratios between the species. In the future, algal toxicity should be studied in greater detail by conducting mesocosm studies within the natural aquatic environment.

Commercial yellow pea flours were prepared with different milling technologies (stone milling, hammer milling and pin milling) and laboratory pea flours were treated using different heat processes (micronization and roasting). Milling technologies had a significant effect on the total phenolic acid content. The type of heat process had no significant effect on phytic acid levels. There was a significant reduction in trypsin inhibitor activities due to the thermal processing yet some trypsin inhibitors were still present in the final cooked pizza dough.

Blue jays (Cyanocitta cristata) do not spontaneously eavesdrop on red squirrel (Tamiasciurus hudsonicus) squeals to locate food

description: Organisms often eavesdrop on the cues and signals produced by other species to obtain information about their environment. Blue jays have dietary overlap with red squirrels, and learn to associate novel stimuli with food rewards in an experimental setting. Red squirrels produce “squeals” when contesting food resources with conspecifics. We tested whether blue jays eavesdrop on red squirrels by playing back red squirrel squeals, red squirrel rattles, white noise, and chick-a-dee calls to blue jays in Winnipeg, Manitoba. Additionally we examined the response of passerine birds in general to the playbacks, and attempted to condition free-living blue jays to respond to the playback of the squeal treatments. Results of the playbacks suggested that neither blue jays nor other passerines eavesdrop on vocalizations emitted in the context of red squirrel disputes over food. Conditioning trials did not produce any conditioned responses from blue jays; however, the limited number of trials performed does not constitute a robust test of the possible acquisition of a classically-conditioned response. Blue jays may also refrain from eavesdropping on red squirrel squeals as they are not reliable indicators of food resources, or because in an urban environment, blue jays readily learn the locations of bird feeders or other reliable food sources without eavesdropping on red squirrels.

description: Snowshoe hares (Lepus americanus) are a keystone species in the Boreal Forest of Canada and their well-characterized population cycles can strongly influence the abundance of their predators. We examined annual variation in snowshoe hare density near Churchill, Manitoba, using counts of hare fecal pellets from 2012 to 2015. We used a regression formula to estimate the density of snowshoe hares based on fecal pellet density. Our estimates of snowshoe hare densities were highest in the first year of study, which may reflect a bias due to pellets accumulating from previous years, and we found no difference in hare density estimates in the subsequent three years. These results suggest the forest-tundra ecozone may be marginal habitat for snowshoe hares, precluding rapid increases in hare density, so population densities of snowshoe hares in Churchill may not cycle in their historic 10-year intervals. However, the northward advancement of the tree line with climate warming may improve habitat conditions for snowshoe hares, and thus the predator populations they typically support.

Year: 2016

description: Moose populations in southern Manitoba have declined in recent years, and although the cause of the decline is yet unknown, wolf predation has been suggested as a potential contributing factor. We used fecal analysis combined with telemetry data to test the influences of social structure, relative prey abundance, and season on wolf consumption of moose and other prey species. We tested for influences of social structure, relative prey abundance, and summer time period specifically on consumption of moose calves in summer, and compared consumption of moose calves to the relative occurrence of calves in the overall moose population. Wolves hunting in a pack were more likely to consume moose than solitary wolves, while solitary wolves were more likely to consume other non-ungulate prey. Solitary wolves were more likely to eat deer in areas where deer were more abundant, but we found no difference in consumption of moose by solitary wolves between areas of greater moose abundance. Beaver were consumed more in summer, but consumption of other prey species did not differ seasonally. We found no effect of social structure, relative prey abundance, or summer time period on consumption of moose calves. Wolves killed calves preferentially, in excess of their relative abundance, only in late summer. Management of wolves aimed at decreasing wolf numbers in southeastern Manitoba may also reduce predation on adult moose by decreasing pack sizes and interrupting the social organization.

description: Like many of the clergy leaders in the civil rights movement, Oliver embodied what Gayraud S. Wilmore identified as the radical tradition in Black religion. Unlike most of those leaders, Oliver was educated in predominantly white, conservative religious circles. He drew many of his theological convictions from the conservative Presbyterian tradition defined by the fundamentalist-modernist controversy and represented by J. Gresham Machen and Westminster Seminary. The interaction of these Black radical and conservative Reformed traditions resulted in a revolutionary understanding of the Reformed faith.

description: Background: A large body of research supports the deleterious effects of adverse childhood experiences (ACEs) on disease susceptibility and health for both the exposed individual and the next generation. It is likely that there is an intergenerational transmission of risk from mother to child; however, the mechanisms through which such risk is conferred remain unknown. The current study evaluated the association between maternal ACEs, neonatal brain development of the amygdala and hippocampus, and later infant negative emotionality at six months of age. Methods: The sample included 85 mother-infant dyads (44 female infants) from a longitudinal study. Maternal ACEs were assessed with the Adverse Childhood Experiences Questionnaire (ACE-Q) and neonatal hippocampal and amygdala volume was assessed using structural magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). Infant negative emotionality was assessed at 6 months using the Infant Behavior Questionnaire (IBQ). Results: Multivariate analyses demonstrated that maternal ACEs were associated with bilateral amygdala volume (F(2,78) = 3.697,p =.029). Specifically, higher maternal ACEs were associated with smaller left (β = -0.220, t(79) = -2.661, p =.009, R2= 0.494, and right (β = −0.167, t(79) = -2.043, p =.044, R2= 0.501) amygdala volume. No significant association between maternal ACEs and bilateral hippocampal volume (F(2,78) = 0.215,p =.0807) was found. Follow-up regression analyses demonstrated that both high maternal ACEs and smaller left amygdala volume were associated with higher infant negative emotionality at six months of age (β =.232, p =.040, R2= 0.094, and β = −0.337, p =.022, R2= 0.16, respectively) although statistically significant mediation of this effect was not observed (Indirect effect = 0.0187, 95% CI [-0.0016-0.0557]). Conclusions: Maternal ACEs are associated with both newborn amygdala volume and subsequent infant negative emotionality. These findings linking maternal adverse childhood experiences and infant brain development and temperament provide evidence to support the intergenerational transmission of adversity from mother to child.

description: Burkholderia cenocepacia is a pathogenic bacterium that causes life-threatening infections in cystic fibrosis patients (Shommu, Vogel, & Storey, 2015). Through a conditional growth mutant library, two essential genes of this bacterium, etfB and etfDh, encoding an electron transfer flavoprotein unit and an etf dehydrogenase respectively, have been identified. While the essential role of these proteins in B. cenocepacia is unknown, protein characterization and interaction analysis will aid in the development of their capacity as antimicrobial targets. The experimental goal of this study was to clone, express and purify etfB and etfDh. Both genes were separately cloned into the bacterial plasmid pE-SUMO and transformed into E. coli BL21-DE3 GOLD. Protein expression of EtfB and EtfDh was induced by isopropyl β-D-1-thiogalactopyranoside (IPTG), and the soluble and insoluble protein fractions were analyzed. EtfB was found in the soluble fraction, which is expected as ETFs are cytoplasmic proteins (Winsor, Khaira, Van Rossum, Lo, Whiteside, & Brinkman, 2008). EtfDh was mainly present in the insoluble fraction suggesting that the B. cenocepacia EtfDh is a membrane-bound dehydrogenase (Winsor et al., 2008). The protein purification process has resulted in a highly pure EtfB and EtfDh samples, which can be used to raise antibodies. Consequently, antibodies raised against these proteins will allow immunofluorescence and coimmunoprecipitation studies of EtfB and EtfDh. The results of the current work provide the tools to address the hypothesis of an intracellular interaction between cytoplasmic EtfB and membrane-bound EtfDh to further understand their role and essentiality in B. cenocepacia.

"The Reception of Ritual Laws in the Early Second Temple Period: The Evidence of Ezra-Nehemiah and Chronicles." Pp. 255–79 in Text and Ritual in the Pentateuch. Edited by C. Nihan and J. Rhyder. University Park: Eisenbrauns, 2021.

description: This essay examines three cases in which pentateuchal ritual law is employed in Ezra-Nehemiah and Chronicles: the Sukkôt celebration in Neh 8:13–18, Hezekiah's Passover in 2 Chr 30, and Josiah's Passover, in 2 Chr 35:1–19. These case studies reveal that the scribes responsible for Ezra-Nehemiah and Chronicles considered the ritual texts of the Pentateuch to offer relevant guides for how ritual action should be ideally configured—a conclusion that broadly affirms the role of pentateuchal texts in setting ritual standards. However, while the scribes responsible for these texts accepted the normative authority of the law, they did not view it in a rigidly prescriptive manner. Ritual laws seem rather to have been understood as providing exemplars of ritual action that were compatible with innovation and able to be negotiated with respect to other authorities, be they written or customary. The ritual law also appears to serve functions that extend beyond that of providing a ritual standard. The essay concludes by exploring what scholars stand to gain if we test our theories about the probable usage of pentateucal ritual materials against early Second Temple evidence. Beyond this, it explores the possible implications of early Second Temple evidence for our understanding of the more general effect of the textualization of ritual, as conceived by ritual theorists.

description: We characterized the ability of the duckweed Lemna minor to recover from 7, 14, 21, and 28-day exposures to the herbicide atrazine. Static renewal assays were performed for each duration (with an exposure series of 0, 10, 20, 40, 80, 160 and 320 µg/L atrazine) followed by a 7-day recovery period in clean media. We observed full recovery (no statistical difference from control) in dry mass, frond number, and plant number growth rates at concentrations typically found in the environment ( ≥80 µg/L atrazine), regardless of the exposure duration. The USEPA currently regulates atrazine on an aquatic plant Concentration Equivalent Level of Concern of 10 µg/L (60-day average concentration) and our data support this decision.

description: The role of Stagnicola elodes, a freshwater snail, as a reservoir and vector for transporting antibiotic resistant genes (ARGs) was explored under laboratory conditions. We hypothesized that ARG-bearing microorganisms would become part of the snail gut microbiome allowing ARGs to be spread from their initial point of origin should snails be transported or the input of pharmaceuticals cease. We exposed snails in jars for 14 days wherein they grazed on biofilms that contained microbes resistant to the antibiotic sulfamethoxazole (SMX). Snails were then transferred to fresh media with no SMX for either a 7-day hibernation or depuration period. SMX-related ARGs were quantified in the 14-day treatment and 7-day depuration and hibernation systems. On day 14, treated jars had 6.6% of SMX resistant genes in the water phase, and the 7-day hibernation and depuration vessels had an average of 3.9% and 1.4%, respectively, relative to the total water-borne microbial community. Methods of extracting snail samples for SMX-related ARGs were unsuccessful. This was attributed to the snails’ having extensive mucus sugars that interfere with extraction. Our findings suggest that ARGs could be transferred to new environments from snails excreting gut flora in their feces, warranting further investigation.

description: Human epidemiological studies implicate exposure to infection during gestation in the etiology of neurodevelopmental disorders. Animal models of maternal immune activation (MIA) have identified the maternal immune response as the critical link between maternal infection and aberrant offspring brain and behavior development. Here we evaluate neurodevelopment of male rhesus monkeys (Macaca mulatta) born to MIA-treated dams (n = 14) injected with a modified form of the viral mimic polyinosinic:polycytidylic acid at the end of the first trimester. Control dams received saline injections at the same gestational time points (n = 10) or were untreated (n = 4). MIA-treated dams exhibited a strong immune response as indexed by transient increases in sickness behavior, temperature, and inflammatory cytokines. Although offspring born to control or MIA-treated dams did not differ on measures of physical growth and early developmental milestones, the MIA-treated animals exhibited subtle changes in cognitive development and deviated from species-typical brain growth trajectories. Longitudinal MRI revealed significant gray matter volume reductions in the prefrontal and frontal cortices of MIA-treated offspring at 6months that persisted through the final time point at 45months along with smaller frontal white matter volumes in MIA-treated animals at 36 and 45 months. These findings provide the first evidence of early postnatal changes in brain development in MIA-exposed nonhuman primates and establish a translationally relevant model system to explore the neurodevelopmental trajectory of risk associated with prenatal immune challenge from birth through late adolescence.
