description: In political science, as in other social sciences, the rise of text mining “has vastly broadened the scope of questions that can be investigated empirically” (Benoit, p. 461). As a political science librarian supporting a department with an emphasis on computational methods, I have encountered a steady rise in questions from researchers looking to use a variety of textual data sources. These range from whether library books can be digitized for computational analysis, to whether our existing databases allow for automated searching and bulk downloading, to requests for new licensed resources for text mining. Additionally, recent changes to the social media data landscape, such as the monetization of the Twitter API, are shaking up researchers’ approaches for finding and accessing data, causing them to turn to the library for guidance.To better understand the specific needs and challenges of political science researchers using text mining methods, I conducted an analysis of recent dissertations from top political science programs. Specifically, I looked at what types of sources are used for text mining, how these sources are accessed, what challenges researchers encounter in working with large-scale textual data, and how libraries are involved in supporting this work. In this presentation I will highlight findings from this study, discuss how they have informed the way I and others at my institution are supporting text mining in the social sciences, and consider implications for libraries as we navigate the future of text as data.Works Cited.Benoit, K.

description: Hazelnut is one of the most frequent causes of food allergy. The major hazel allergen in Northern Europe is Cor a 1, which is homologous to the major birch pollen allergen Bet v 1. Both allergens belong to the pathogenesis related class PR-10. We determined the solution structure of Cor a 1.0401 from hazelnut and identified a natural ligand of the protein. The structure reveals the protein fold characteristic for PR-10 family members, which consists of a seven-stranded antiparallel β-sheet, two short α-helices arranged in V-shape and a long C-terminal α-helix encompassing a hydrophobic pocket. However, despite the structural similarities between Cor a 1 and Bet v 1, they bind different ligands. We have shown previously that Bet v 1 binds to quercetin-3-O-sophoroside. Here, we isolated Cor a 1 from hazel pollen and identified the bound ligand, quercetin-3-O-(2“-O-β-D-glucopyranosyl)-β-D-galactopyranoside, by mass spectrometry and nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy (NMR). NMR experiments were performed to confirm binding. Remarkably, although it has been shown that PR-10 allergens show promiscuous binding behaviour in vitro, we can demonstrate that Cor a 1.0401 and Bet v 1.0101 exhibit highly selective binding for their specific ligand but not for the respective ligand of the other allergen.

description: KMT2A-rearranged infant ALL is an aggressive childhood leukemia with poor prognosis. Here, we investigated the developmental state of KMT2A-rearranged infant B-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia (B-ALL) using bulk messenger RNA (mRNA) meta-analysis and examination of single lymphoblast transcriptomes against a developing bone marrow reference. KMT2A-rearranged infant B-ALL was uniquely dominated by an early lymphocyte precursor (ELP) state, whereas less adverse NUTM1-rearranged infant ALL demonstrated signals of later developing B cells, in line with most other childhood B-ALLs. We compared infant lymphoblasts with ELP cells and revealed that the cancer harbored hybrid myeloid-lymphoid features, including nonphysiological antigen combinations potentially targetable to achieve cancer specificity. We validated surface coexpression of exemplar combinations by flow cytometry. Through analysis of shared mutations in separate leukemias from a child with infant KMT2A-rearranged B-ALL relapsing as AML, we established that KMT2A rearrangement occurred in very early development, before hematopoietic specification, emphasizing that cell of origin cannot be inferred from the transcriptional state.

description: While the revival of Ḥadīth scholarship in North India has drawn the attention of many scholars, it is usually ignored that the south of India also experienced a revival in Ḥadīth sciences in the course of the 19th century. This thesis studies the trajectory of Ḥadīth science in the Malabar region of south India in the modern period. Thus, it seeks to contribute to the institutional, intellectual, and social history of Ḥadīth sciences in Malabar. The thesis largely analyses the history of the Ḥadīth scholarship in the Malabar from the advent of Islam in Malabar to the modern period, but it focuses on the history of Ḥadīth science in the region from around 1850 to the current time. Drawing on historical records, I highlight the occurrence of an Islamic institutional and intellectual revival in South India starting from the late ninetieth century, and interpret how this revival resulted in the making of a relative upsurge in the production of Ḥadīth works in the Malabar in this period. I also notify the pivotal role of Vellore Bāqiyāt and Lateefiyya madrasas in this revival and their impact on the field of Ḥadīth. The thesis comprises an analysis of Isnād networks of Malabari scholars’, and it demonstrates that there is a continuation of Isnād based scholarship still in the Malabar, and it shows their great integrity and concern in the act of preserving and maintaining the Islamic tradition of Ijāzah and isnāds back to the Prophet. It also makes apparent the scholarly networks of Malabar scholars with the ‘ulema of the broader Ummah. I make a textual analysis of 11 scholarly Ḥadīth works by 10 different Malabari Ḥadīth scholars in this period to 5 distinct genres of Ḥadīth science. The thesis also interprets the different possible reasons for the revival of the Ḥadīth scholarship in the modern Malabar, along with the reasons for the relative less frequency of the Hadith contributions in Malabar in different periods.

description: Abstract: PIWI-interacting RNAs (piRNAs) are small RNAs required to recognize and silence transposable elements. The 5’ ends of mature piRNAs are defined through cleavage of long precursor transcripts, primarily by Zucchini (Zuc). Zuc-dependent cleavage typically occurs immediately upstream of a uridine. However, Zuc lacks sequence preference in vitro, pointing towards additional unknown specificity factors. Here, we examine murine piRNAs and reveal a strong and specific enrichment of three sequences (UAA, UAG, UGA)—corresponding to stop codons—at piRNA 5’ ends. Stop codon sequences are also enriched immediately after piRNA processing intermediates, reflecting their Zuc-dependent tail-to-head arrangement. Further analyses reveal that a Zuc in vivo cleavage preference at four sequences (UAA, UAG, UGA, UAC) promotes 5’ end stop codons. This observation is conserved across mammals and possibly further. Our work provides new insights into Zuc-dependent cleavage and may point to a previously unrecognized connection between piRNA biogenesis and the translational machinery.

description: The following article deals with emotional development and the development of emotion regulation skills in children during early childhood education, focusing primarily on the importance of the early childhood teacher. Emotion regulation is important for success and wellbeing in further life. It is developed in interaction with parents as attachment figures. Teachers can also be important persons for the child in the context of bonding. This leads to the question of how early childhood teachers can support children learning to regulate their emotions. We analyze with the content analysis, four programs for promoting social and emotional skills that are currently used in Germany. The main question is if the programs include elements that increase teachers’ skills in supporting the children in regulating their emotions. The categories to analyze the programs are derived from theories of teacher-child interaction. In addition to programs for promoting emotional and social development, we will discuss aspects of shaping interaction as essential elements in promoting emotion regulation. The conclusion outlines some key implications for educational practice and the importance of developing professional behavior for qualitative teacher-child interactions.

description: But why should the species be preserved? ... Stepping outside the Tao, they have stepped into the void. At present humans appear wildly successful in evolutionary terms: with a mass comparable to other primates we have an abundance comparable to insects. But this success is entangled with a paradox: evolutionary success is tradition- ally seen as based on fierce competition, yet our current success is unsustainable without unprecedented levels of cooperation. A partial resolution of this paradox comes from realizing that cooperation is a fundamental principle of biology, and indeed from our earliest primate ancestors, our biological origins lie in the emergence of the most complex and long-lived cooperative behaviors among extended families. Without these levels of cooperation the success of humankind would have been impossible. It is also significant that a number of major world religions attach great importance to widely-directed love, compassion, and respect for Creation, and that religion has historically been a substantial factor in widespread cooperation. So, we must now find out – quickly – whether the biological gift of a habit of cooperativeness, aided and abetted by religious or other underpinnings, will also be sufficient to save us as a species from the future consequences of our current success.

description: Invasive plant species are increasingly altering species composition and the functioning of ecosystems from a local to a global scale. The grass species Pennisetum setaceum has recently raised concerns as an invader on different archipelagos worldwide. Among these affected archipelagos are the Canary Islands, which are a hotspot of endemism. Consequently, conservation managers and stakeholders are interested in the potential spreading of this species in the archipelago. We identify the current extent of the suitable habitat for P. setaceum on the island of La Palma to assess how it affects island ecosystems, protected areas (PAs), and endemic plant species richness. We recorded in situ occurrences of P. setaceum from 2010 to 2018 and compiled additional ones from databases at a 500 m × 500 m resolution. To assess the current suitable habitat and possible distribution patterns of P. setaceum on the island, we built an ensemble model. We projected habitat suitability for island ecosystems and PAs and identified risks for total as well as endemic plant species richness. The suitable habitat for P. setaceum is calculated to cover 34.7% of the surface of La Palma. In open ecosystems at low to mid elevations, where native ecosystems are already under pressure by land use and human activities, the spread of the invader will likely lead to additional threats to endemic plant species. Forest ecosystems (e.g., broadleaved evergreen and coniferous forests) are not likely to be affected by the spread of P. setaceum because of its heliophilous nature. Our projection of suitable habitat of P. setaceum within ecosystems and PAs on La Palma supports conservationists and policymakers in prioritizing management and control measures and acts as an example for the potential threat of this graminoid invader on other islands.

description: Tropical high mountains are hosting important hot spots of biodiversity on small mostly remote areas. Recently, these precious ecosystems are under threat from land use change and climate change coupled with other local drivers of biodiversity loss. Along the East African Afroalpine ecosystems, area above the treeline have experienced long-term spatial isolation and extreme climatic conditions (climatic factors such as low mean temperature, diurnal freeze-thaw cycles and other energy-related factors) which lead to the formation of ``Sky Island'' like ecosystems that are rich in endemics and unique. The Bale Mountains of Ethiopia are home to the largest tropical alpine plateau in Africa, with no spacious high summits that provide space for upward shift of species. Here, we studied plant species diversity and distribution patterns and tested potential future impacts of climate change induced warming on those patterns. This study is based on distribution data acquired from nested circular plots along an elevational gradient ranging from 2000m asl to the highest elevation (4385 m asl). We find hump shaped species richness patterns on both aspects, i.e. the dry north-eastern and the wet monsoon exposed south-western escarpment. In addition, the proportion of endemic species increases monotonically towards the summit on all slopes. Based on our data and literature, we project future climate impact for three regional warming scenarios (+2 degrees C, + 3 degrees C and + 4 degrees C). We quantify the future range of 114 endemic plant species based on their current occurrence records applying a lapse rate of 0.6 degrees C per 100 m of elevation. We find that future climate change would significantly alter species distribution patterns with pronounced impact on the unique ecosystems and endemic species restricted to the afroalpine plateau. Very likely this will be leading to the extinction of many endemic species. Published by Elsevier B.V.

description: Capsule: In the Scottish Highlands, Black Grouse Tetrao tetrix females with young broods selected areas rich in wet flushes, grasses and Sphagnum mosses. Aims: To identify associations between young Black Grouse broods and habitat characteristics. Methods: We located brood-rearing Black Grouse females in four areas of moorland-forest mosaic in the Scottish Highlands. Each brood was paired with a random reference location 100 m away. We recorded cover of different habitats and fine-scale vegetation and structure within squares of 1 and 0.25 ha, respectively. Associations between brood occurrence and habitat and vegetation variables were examined at the two scales. Results: Black Grouse broods were positively associated with wet flushes (1 ha), and with Heather Calluna vulgaris, sedges Carex spp., grasses, Sphagnum mosses and taller vegetation with intermediate levels of height variability (0.25 ha). Conclusions: This study highlights the importance of wet habitats for young Black Grouse chicks. In addition, relatively tall field-layer vegetation comprising Heather, sedges, grasses over a layer of Sphagnum mosses attracted brood-rearing Black Grouse females. Many management practices associated with peatland restoration, including drain-blocking, Sphagnum re-establishment and the avoidance of burning on deep peat soils, are therefore consistent with favourable habitat management for Black Grouse.
title: What Do You Expect? Linguistic Reflections on Empathy in Science Communication
Creators: name: Janich, Nina
Publisher: name: Cogitatio
Year: 2020

description: This linguistics article, which draws additionally on interdisciplinary insights, discusses whether and to what extent more empathy could facilitate and promote the exchange of knowledge between science and society. The existence of the Internet as a knowledge resource has made it necessary, especially in online communication, to renegotiate (scientific) expertise and roles such as ‘expert’ and ‘layperson.’ A discourse linguistics case study of a science blog shows that these negotiations quickly take on the character of an emotionally charged relationship between writer and respondent and are by no means limited to the level of fact or disinterested scholarly debate. The reason for this—so this article argues—is that reciprocal expectations and expectations of expectations play an essential role in science communication, as in any social communication. This hypothesis is supported by an analysis of interviews with scientists about their expectations of the public’s understanding of science. Against this background, empathy seems to be a suitable means to better meet the expectations of one’s interlocuter (or at least to avoid disappointed expectations) and to move from a more emotional level back to a more rational one. Empathy and its role in science communication should therefore be investigated more closely—on an interdisciplinary basis.

description: We analyse liquid-crystalline ordering in vertically vibrated monolayers of cylinders confined in a circular cavity. Short cylinders form tetratic arrangements with C4 symmetry. This symmetry, which is incompatible with the geometry of the cavity, is restored by the presence of four point defects with total topological charge +4. Equilibrium Monte Carlo simulations predict the same structure. A new method to measure the elastic properties of the tetratic medium is developed which exploits the clear similarities between the vibrated dissipative system and the thermal equilibrium system. Our observations open up a new avenue to investigate the formation of defects in response to boundary conditions, an issue which is very difficult to realise in colloidal or molecular systems.

description: In contrast to ecological speciation, where reproductive isolation evolves as a consequence of divergent natural selection, speciation by parallel natural selection has been less thoroughly studied. To test whether parallel evolution drives speciation, we leveraged the repeated evolution of benthic and limnetic ecotypes of threespine stickleback fish and estimated fitness for pure crosses and within-ecotype hybrids in semi-natural ponds and in laboratory aquaria. In ponds, we detected hybrid breakdown in both ecotypes but this was counterbalanced by heterosis and the strength of post-zygotic isolation was nil. In aquaria, we detected heterosis in limnetic crosses and breakdown in benthic crosses, which is suggestive of process- and ecotype-specific environment-dependence. In ponds, heterosis and breakdown were 3× greater in limnetic crosses than in benthic crosses, contrasting the prediction that the fitness consequences of hybridization should be greater in crosses among more derived ecotypes. Consistent with a primary role for stochastic processes, patterns differed among crosses between populations from different lakes. Yet, the observation of qualitatively similar patterns of heterosis and hybrid breakdown for both ecotypes when averaging the lake pairs indicates that the outcome of hybridization is repeatable in a general sense.

description: Capsule: Lesser Black-backed Gulls Larus fuscus breeding 30 km from the coast in the Netherlands focussed entirely on terrestrial food sources and reached relatively high breeding success. Aim: To gain insight in the foraging ecology, habitat use and breeding performance of inland-breeding Lesser Black-backed Gulls. Methods: We received data from seven birds fitted with global positioning system (GPS) loggers. The colony was frequently visited to collect pellets and boluses and to monitor reproductive success, mortality and growth rate of chicks. Results: The GPS data revealed that mainly terrestrial habitats were used, 98% of these GPS positions were within 25 km of the colony. Refuse dumps were the most preferred sites, but also agricultural fields and freshwater bodies were often visited. Only two of the 710 recorded trips were directed to the North Sea. The pellet and bolus analyses confirmed the GPS data: no marine food remains were found. Breeding success of birds in the enclosure was relatively high, with 90% of eggs hatched and 51% of chicks fledged (1.6 chicks/pair). Conclusions: Relying on terrestrial food is feasible when sources are available in the vicinity of the colony. We conclude that Lesser Black-backed Gulls could theoretically shift towards inland breeding after a fishery discards ban.

description: The analysis of the thermal stability of supported ionic liquids (ILs) is of great interest for their application in catalysis. However, thermogravimetric (TG) measurements are very time-consuming, destructive, and cannot be conducted operando. Therefore, a new radio-frequency (RF)-based method is presented that analyzes the electrical properties of supported ILs in the microwave range and can detect a possible IL mass loss caused by evaporation or decomposition. In this study, the decomposition of supported 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium dimethylphosphate ([BMIM][DMP]) with and without palladium (as an active metal) is investigated operando during the selective hydrogenation of 1,3-butadiene. In addition to volatile decomposition products, solid products are formed, which remain on the carrier. These solid products impair the activity of the Pd catalyst. Using the RF-based method, a distinction can be made between “intact” IL and the solid decomposition products because the electrical properties of both substances differ substantially. In contrast, the destructive TG analysis only measures the mass loss by the formation of gaseous decomposition products and thus cannot distinguish between “intact” IL and the solid decomposition products of [BMIM][DMP]. In addition, a model of the thermal decomposition which depicts the measured mass losses well is presented.
title: Managerialism, quality and employment in local government: the impact of quality management initiatives on work and trade unions
Creators: name: Roper, Ian Clive
Publisher: name: University of Glasgow
Year: 1998

description: This thesis describes how the implementation of quality management methods in local government organisations have affected the inter-related issues of the public-service labour process and collective bargaining arrangements. A series of interviews with managers and union officials, and questionnaire surveys of trade union members attitudes at four disparate local authorities pursuing quality management was conducted over two and a half years. The findings indicate that the nature and outcomes of quality management implementation are contingent upon pre-existing employment relations within the organisation - particularly relating to trade union entrenchment and activity. The implementation of quality management, however, does have a subsequent effect on the labour process and collective bargaining. While there are considerable differences between authorities, evidence of increased worker 'commitment' as a result of quality management is inconclusive, though workers do perceive net increases in work-rates. Workers also perceive a net decline in trade union influence over working practices. It is concluded that unions need to address the issue of quality management in a critical manner in order to be able to adequately protect the interests of their members and to retain the long term legitimacy in the workplace.

description: Background: The aim of the current study was to examine the relationship between anthropometric characteristics (i.e. body height, body weight, body mass index [BMI] and waist circumference [WC]) with motor performance ability [MPA], social environmental factors of the district (i.e. employment status/working life, education, social situation/heterogeneity and home environment), where the respective kindergarten was located, as well as other potential health determinants in a representative sample of kindergartners. Methods: We analyzed data of 434 children aged 3 to 6 years which were obtained from a community-based cross-sectional health study conducted in the city of Mainz, Germany. Body height and weight, BMI and WC standard deviation scores [SDS] were calculated relative to the international proposed cut-offs of the IOTF. MPA was collected with multiple test items to determine coordination, speed strength, muscular endurance and speed. The life situation index [LSI] was used to assess the social environment of the district of the kindergarten. Adjusted for covariates, correlation and logistic regression analyses were conducted to estimate the effect of WC on MPA. Results: Below-average MPA was found in 46% of the sample. While there was no relationship to BMI (odds ratio [OR]: 1.09, 95% confidence interval [95% CI]: 0.83–1.44; p = 0.538), WC SDS was positively associated with belowaverage MPA (OR: 1.41, 95% CI: 1.01–1.95; p = 0.041). Further results show that the social environment of the district of the kindergarten was independently related to below-average MPA (OR: 2.72, 95% CI: 1.29–5.75; p = 0.009). Conclusion: The findings suggest that WC rather than BMI is linked to measurements of MPA already in kindergartners and furthermore, there seems to be an independent association between MPA and the social environment of the district of the respective kindergarten.

description: We discuss observations of CII*/CII ratios and cooling rates due to [CII] 158µm emission in high-redshift intervening damped Lyman-\(\alpha\) (DLA) systems towards quasars. We show that the observed bimodality in the CII cooling rates actually reflects a bimodality in the CII*/CII-metallicity plane that can be naturally explained by phase segregation of the neutral medium, without invoking differences in star-formation scenarios. Assuming realistic distributions of the physical parameters to calculate the phase diagrams, we also reproduce qualitatively the metallicity dependence of this bimodality. We emphasize that high-redshift DLAs mostly probe low-metallicity gas (\(Z\lesssim 0.1 Z_{\odot}\)), where heating is dominated by cosmic rays (and/or turbulence), and not by photoelectric heating. Therefore even if the gas of DLA is predominantly cold (where the cooling is dominated by [CII]), the excitation of CII can be used to derive the cosmic ray ionization rate (and/or turbulent heating), but not the UV field, as was previously considered. Alternatively, if the gas in DLA is predominantly warm, CII*/CII can be used to constrain its number density. https://doi.org/10.1093/mnrasl/slab119

description: The famous Watts–Strogatz (WS) small-world network model does not approach the Erdős–Rényi (ER) random graph model in the limit of total randomization which can lead to confusion and complicates certain analyses. In this paper we discuss a simple alternative which was first introduced by Song and Wang, where instead of rewiring, edges are drawn between pairs of nodes with a distance-based connection probability. We show that this model is simpler to analyze, approaches the true ER random graph model in the completely randomized limit, and demonstrate that the WS model and the alternative model may yield different quantitative results using the example of a random walk temporal observable. An efficient sampling algorithm for the alternative model is proposed. Analytic results regarding the degree distribution, degree variance, number of two-stars per node, number of triangles per node, clustering coefficient, and random walk mixing time are presented. Subsequently, the small-world effect is illustrated by showing that the clustering coefficient decreases much slower than an upper bound on the message delivery time with increasing long-range connection probability which generalizes the small-world effect from informed searches to random search strategies. Due to its accessibility for analytic evaluations, we propose that this modified model should be used as an alternative reference model for studying the influence of small-world topologies on dynamic systems as well as a simple model to introduce numerous topics when teaching network science.

description: Throughout our lives, epigenetic processes shape our development and enable us to adapt to a constantly changing environment. Identifying and understanding environmentally induced epigenetic change(s) that may lead to adverse outcomes is vital for protecting public health. This review, therefore, examines the present understanding of epigenetic mechanisms involved in the mammalian life cycle, evaluates the current evidence for environmentally induced epigenetic toxicity in human cohorts and rodent models and highlights the research considerations and implications of this emerging knowledge for public health and regulatory toxicology. Many hundreds of studies have investigated such toxicity, yet relatively few have demonstrated a mechanistic association among specific environmental exposures, epigenetic changes and adverse health outcomes in human epidemiological cohorts and/or rodent models. While this small body of evidence is largely composed of exploratory in vivo high-dose range studies, it does set a precedent for the existence of environmentally induced epigenetic toxicity. Consequently, there is worldwide recognition of this phenomenon, and discussion on how to both guide further scientific research towards a greater mechanistic understanding of environmentally induced epigenetic toxicity in humans, and translate relevant research outcomes into appropriate regulatory policies for effective public health protection.

description: L’opera raccoglie i prodotti scientifici realizzati nell’ambito del progetto di ricerca “Stability and flexibility in Labour Law reforms. Europe and Latin America”, proposto da Professori e ricercatori della Sapienza con il contributo di studiosi provenienti da diversi Paesi europei e latino-americani. L’obiettivo preminente dell’opera è quello di indagare le trasformazioni sociali e organizzative che hanno interessato tanto gli equilibri interni quanto esterni al rapporto di lavoro sino a giungere a modificare gli stessi tratti caratterizzanti il mercato del lavoro. La struttura dell’opera riflette i percorsi di ricerca sviluppati al fine di raggiungere i risultati del progetto. Pertanto una prima parte è dedicata alla prospettiva dell’ordinamento giuridico italiano in materia di flessibilità dei rapporti di lavoro; i tre nuclei centrali contengono, invece, un’analisi comparata del fenomeno con gli ordinamenti argentino, brasiliano e spagnolo. Infine, l’ultima sezione tratta, in prospettiva anche psicologica, il tema del temporary work.

description: Salinity represents a major environmental constraint which can severely limit plant establishment in the arid and semi-arid areas in Tunisia. The present work was carried out to study the response of Pistacia vera L. and Pistacia atlantica Desf. seedlings to salt stress. Evaluation of salinity effects on both species was investigated using five increasing NaCl concentrations (0, 20, 40, 60 and 80 mM) during 60 days. The exposure to NaCl at seedlings stages, affects the majority of the studied parameters. Morphological parameters, such as height of shoot, number of green leaves, leaf area and consequently, phytomass allocation were significantly decreased. Additionally, P. vera accelerated leaf senescence. Both species showed a preferential allocation of the resources in favor of the roots for concentrations of NaCl lower than 40 mM. Whereas, only P. atlantica maintained a root growth for higher concentrations. Under salt stress, the specific leaf area decreased in P. atlantica (p<0.001) and translate a mechanism of tolerance to salinity. It appeared that both species tolerate concentrations lower than 40
mM of NaCl. However, for higher concentrations, P. atlantica seedlings are more tolerant.
