Objective: To examine the utility of the peripheral blood neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR) and monocyte-to-lymphocyte ratio (MLR) as biomarkers of prognosis in seropositive autoimmune encephalitis (AE). Methods: In this multicenter study, we retrospectively analyzed 57 cases of seropositive AE with hospital admissions between January 2008 and June 2019. The initial full blood examination was used to determine each patients’ NLR and MLR. The modified Rankin Scale (mRS) was utilized to assess the patients’ follow-up disability at 12 months and then at final follow-up. Primary outcomes were mortality and mRS, while secondary outcomes were failure of first line treatment, ICU admission, and clinical relapse. Univariate and multivariable regression analysis was performed. Results: During initial hospital admission 44.7% of patients had unsuccessful first line treatment. After a median follow-up of 700 days, 82.7% had good functional outcome (mRS ≤2) while five patients had died. On multivariable analysis, high NLR was associated with higher odds of first line treatment failure (OR 1.32, 95% CI 1.03–1.69, p = 0.029). Increased MLR was not associated with any short or long-term outcome. Conclusions: NLR on initial hospital admission blood tests may be provide important prognostic information for cases of seropositive AE. This study demonstrates the potential use of NLR as a prognostic marker in the clinical evaluation of patients with seropositive AE.

description: © 2021, The Author(s). Background: In recent years, we have seen the incorporation of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) simulators into radiotherapy centres and the emergence of the new technology of MR linacs. However, the significant health care resources associated with this advanced technology impact immediate widespread use and availability. There are currently limited studies to demonstrate the clinical effectiveness and inform decision-making on the use of MRI in radiotherapy. The objective of this scoping review is to identify and map the existing evidence surrounding the clinical implementation of MRI-guided radiotherapy in patients with breast cancer. It also aims to identify challenges and knowledge gaps in the literature. Methods: We will perform a comprehensive search in MEDLINE and EMBASE databases from January 2010 onwards. Grey literature sources will include the WHO International Clinical Trials Registry Platform. We will include systematic reviews, randomised and non-randomised controlled studies published in English. Literature should examine the use of magnetic resonance imaging-guided radiotherapy in adults with breast cancer, regardless of cancer stage or severity. Two reviewers will independently screen all titles, abstracts and full-text reports. Data will be extracted and summarised using qualitative (e.g. content and thematic analysis) methods and presented in tables. Discussion: The results from this review will consolidate the evidence surrounding MRI-guided radiotherapy for breast cancer, contributing to the development and optimisation of patient selection, simulation, planning, treatment delivery, quality assurance and research, to help improve patient outcomes, cancer care and treatment for women with breast cancer.

description: Tennessee Williams, ein Autor, der eine Vielzahl bedeutender Frauenfiguren durch seine Stücke zum Leben erweckt hat, veröffentlichte sein letztes großes Theaterstück 1961 unter dem Titel „Die Nacht des Leguan“. Jenes Stück, das in Mexiko spielt, von starken Frauen dominiert wird und in dem der Autor das Seelenleben der Figuren offenbart, bietet eine Vielzahl von Interpretationsmöglichkeiten. Die von Tennessee Williams behandelten Motive begleiteten ihn ein Leben lang, seine Stücke sind zwar einzigartig, bieten aber auch die Möglichkeit, Vergleiche zu ziehen. Im Leben seiner Figuren spielen Vergangenheit, Gegenwart und Zukunft eine Rolle, er lässt sie leiden, eine Entwicklung durchmachen oder an ihrer Schwäche zerbrechen. Die Motive, Eigenschaften, Handlungsweisen seiner Figuren, aber auch die gesellschaftliche Rolle der Frau in den 40er Jahren sowie eine Inszenierung von Peter Zadek aus dem Jahr 2002 sind Themen dieser Arbeit. Ein Vergleich des Stückes mit Tennessee Williams’ Gesamtwerk drängte sich geradezu auf, ebenso wie die Untersuchung verschiedenster Übersetzungen des Stückes. Jeder Frauenfigur konnten bestimmte Eigenschaften zugeordnet werden, was zum Verständnis ihrer Handlungen führte. Des Weiteren behandelt der Autor innerhalb des Stückes verschiedene Themen wie Religion, Drogen oder Symbole, er verarbeitet biografische Vorkommnisse oder eigene Schwächen.
description: Tennessee Williams an author who revives so many female figures with his plays published his last play “The Night of the Iguana” in 1961. This play which takes place in Mexico is dominated by strong women. The author reveals inner live of his figures and the play offers the opportunity to interpret it in different ways. His themes accompanied Tennessee Williams his whole life, his plays are unique but comparable. Past, present and future are prominent roles in his figures lives. They have to suffer, to turn out or they break on their human failings. Their themes, attributes and behaviour, the social function of women in 1940 and a production of Peter Zadek in 2002 are a parts of this thesis. This play in comparison to his complete works was forced as much as analytical investigation of different play-translations. Every female figure shows her own characteristic which is important to understand their acts. In addition Tennessee Williams writes about different themes like religion, drugs or symbols, he overcomes biographical occurrences.

description: Extreme weather can have significant impacts on plant species demography; however, most studies have focused on responses to a single or small number of extreme events. Long-term patterns in climate extremes, and how they have shaped contemporary distributions, have rarely been considered or tested. BIOCLIM variables that are commonly used in correlative species distribution modelling studies cannot be used to quantify climate extremes, as they are generated using long-term averages and therefore do not describe year-to-year, temporal variability. We evaluated the response of 37 plant species to base climate (long-term means, equivalent to BIOCLIM variables), variability (standard deviations) and extremes of varying return intervals (defined using quantiles) based on historical observations. These variables were generated using fine-grain (approx. 250 m), time-series temperature and precipitation data for the hottest, coldest and driest months over 39 years. Extremes provided significant additive improvements in model performance compared to base climate alone and were more consistent than variability across all species. Models that included extremes frequently showed notably different mapped predictions relative to those using base climate alone, despite often small differences in statistical performance as measured as a summary across sites. These differences in spatial patterns were most pronounced at the predicted range margins, and reflect the influence of coastal proximity, continentality, topography and orographic barriers on climate extremes. Species occupying hotter and drier locations that are exposed to severe maximum temperature extremes were associated with better predictive performance when modelled using extremes. Understanding how plant species have historically responded to climate extremes may provide valuable insights into our understanding of contemporary distributions and help to make more accurate predictions under a changing climate.

description: © 2014 Eldridge et al.; licensee BioMed Central Ltd. Background: It is commonly reported that children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) exhibit hyper-reactivity or hypo-reactivity to sensory stimuli. Electroencephalography (EEG) is commonly used to study neural sensory reactivity, suggesting that statistical analysis of EEG recordings is a potential means of automatic classification of the disorder. EEG recordings taken from children, however, are frequently contaminated with large amounts of noise, making analysis difficult. In this paper, we present a method for the automatic extraction of noise-robust EEG features, which serve to quantify neural sensory reactivity. We show the efficacy of a system for the classification of ASD using these features. Methods: An oddball paradigm was used to elicit event-related potentials from a group of 19 ASD children and 30 typically developing children. EEG recordings were taken and robust features were extracted. A support vector machine, logistic regression, and a naive Bayes classifier were used to classify the children as having ASD or being typically developing. Results: A classification accuracy of 79% was achieved, making our method competitive with other automatic diagnosis methods based on EEG. Additionally, we found that classification performance is reduced if eye blink artifacts are removed during preprocessing. Conclusions: This study shows that robust EEG features that quantify neural sensory reactivity are useful for the classification of ASD. We showed that noise-robust features are crucial for our analysis, and observe that traditional preprocessing methods may lead to poor classification performance in the face of a large amount of noise. Further exploration of alternative preprocessing methods is warranted.

description: While the literature on the European Union’s foreign policy has heavily emphasized the EU’s marked preference for diplomacy and the conduct of dialogues, the rationale behind the salience of this practice has not yet been fully explored. Therefore, this thesis asks why the European Union promotes and conducts so many political dialogues with third countries in its external relations. The original contribution of this thesis is two-fold: theoretically, it contributes to the literature on the practice of dialogue in International Relations by moving away from theories stressing the rationality of the institutional actors involved in dialogical interactions. Instead, this thesis grounds itself in socio-psychology applied to institutions to conceptualize the practice of dialogue as a symbolically-framed interaction through which institutional identity is recognized and anchored. In doing so, this research demonstrates that the European Union promotes and conducts such an extraordinary number of dialogues with third countries in order to get recognition of its institutional identity as a distinct and relevant international actor. More specifically, the study sheds light on the mechanisms through which the dialogical interaction at the micro-level helps anchor the institutional identity of the EU at the macro-level. Empirically, the thesis contributes to a more nuanced and better understanding of one of the most complex and important relationships of our times – the transatlantic relationship — by presenting original findings on the multiple dialogical encounters occurring at different levels of representation: at the highest level of diplomatic meetings, at the interparliamentary level and at and the level of civil society. The present work thus departs from traditional perspectives on transatlantic relations by focusing on the micro-level of interaction and its symbolic implications at the macro-level. Through the conduct of interviews with European and American officials involved in these dialogues and several participant observations in the meetings, this study offers a fine-grained analysis of the dialogue as one of the most frequently tool of foreign policy used by the EU in its external relations.

description: This thesis analyses how news organisations in Australia, struggling with technological and financial change, are innovating through commerce, technology and professional habits. By examining three distinctive news outlets, The Conversation, The Border Mail and The Australian Jewish News, this thesis tracks growing concern about the viability of current media models and practices, and demonstrates a need for news organisations to embrace innovation with their communities to survive and thrive. The research has been undertaken in response to the reality that newspapers are struggling with lost circulation and revenue as declines in advertising-funded business models impacts on individual communities. In order to understand the role of innovation for news outlets and the innovations that news services are using to build links with their communities, this thesis study utilises semi-structured interviews with management and staff at each of the three news outlets. The researcher has found that while The Conversation, The Border Mail and The Australian Jewish News have different innovation models, they share a common view that traditional models need to be eschewed in order to create closer, and more profitable, links with their communities. The staff and management at the three outlets view innovation as the alignment of their mastheads with their strategic environment, creating a competitive advantage through distinctiveness. The thesis demonstrates that news services can use innovation to build and enhance partnerships with communities and that the news industry as a whole may need to change its business models in order to survive.

description: Aims: Several different diagnostic parameters can be used to assess left ventricular (LV) longitudinal systolic function, but no studies comparing their predictive value have been conducted. We sought to compare the prognostic value of LV long-axis function parameters at rest and exercise using the population with heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF). Methods and results: Clinical and biochemical variables were collected at baseline in 201 patients with HFpEF. Echocardiography was performed at rest and immediately after exercise, with measurement of mitral annular plane systolic excursion, systolic tissue velocity (s′), global longitudinal strain (GLS), and global longitudinal strain rate (GLSR). Participants were followed for 48 (24–60) months for heart failure hospitalization and cardiovascular death. Seventy-four patients (36.8%) met the study endpoint. Cox regression analysis revealed that after adjustment for Meta-Analysis Global Group in Chronic Heart Failure risk score, brain natriuretic peptide (BNP), and peak VO , heart failure hospitalization and cardiovascular death were significantly associated with GLS at rest [hazard ratio (HR) 0.91; 95% confidence interval (CI) 0.84–0.98; P = 0.016], GLS after exercise (HR 0.84; 95% CI 0.77–0.91; P

description: Over the last several decades, researchers and policy makers alike have come to an agreement that institutions and institutional quality matter to economic performance. However, there is no consensus on what institutions are and what constitutes institutional quality, and even less on the relationship between institutions and economic development. Quantitative empirical research on the relationship have produced mixed and even conflicting results.
This thesis develops the proposition that we can understand some of this conceptual ambiguity and empirical inconsistency by identifying the eclectic nature of institutional economics (including new institutional economics (NIE), and the wide analytical uses to which institutional economics is put. NIE is best understood as a broad field of theoretical and empirical research, with some shared characteristics. But it is not a unified discipline with widely agreed concepts and methods. NIE has also been applied by researchers from a range of disciplines, for a range of purposes, and in countries with very different levels of development and political, economic and cultural characteristics. We know that institutions matter, but which ones, for which economic and political actors, and at what stages of the socioeconomic development are still open issues. Institutions matter, but the thesis makes the case that context matters too, and institutional economics needs to pay more attention to context.

By using qualitative research and examining the relation between institutional quality and inward foreign direct investment (FDI) in the case study country of Vietnam, a rapidly growing transition economy, this research seeks to combine two ways to engage these issues. The first is to explore the institutional determinants of FDI in Vietnam, and then explore how institutions are perceived by foreign investors and other key stakeholders, with different investment strategies and different exposure to those institutions.

The thesis finds that that the heterogeneous outcomes of quantitative studies can be understood in part by the complex and ambiguous definitional dimension of NIE and institutional quality. In part also, it questions assumptions about the homogeneity of the effects of institutions on different actors, in different industries, and in countries at different stages of economic development. Second, it finds that a static conceptual framework cannot be used unproblematically across time. But specifying institutional quality in a model of economic development requires a clear developmental path, that few countries have closely followed. Finally, the thesis suggests that the relation between institutions and FDI depends on the characteristics of host country institutions as well as the types of MNEs, their strategic goals, the industries they invest in, and their modes of entry and operation.

description: Community and invasion ecology have mostly grown independently. There is substantial overlap in the processes captured by different models in the two fields, and various frameworks have been developed to reduce this redundancy and synthesize information content. Despite broad recognition that community and invasion ecology are interconnected, a process‐based framework synthesizing models across these two fields is lacking.

description: © 2021, The Author(s). Aging and Alzheimer’s disease (AD) are associated with progressive brain disorganization. Although structural asymmetry is an organizing feature of the cerebral cortex it is unknown whether continuous age- and AD-related cortical degradation alters cortical asymmetry. Here, in multiple longitudinal adult lifespan cohorts we show that higher-order cortical regions exhibiting pronounced asymmetry at age ~20 also show progressive asymmetry-loss across the adult lifespan. Hence, accelerated thinning of the (previously) thicker homotopic hemisphere is a feature of aging. This organizational principle showed high consistency across cohorts in the Lifebrain consortium, and both the topological patterns and temporal dynamics of asymmetry-loss were markedly similar across replicating samples. Asymmetry-change was further accelerated in AD. Results suggest a system-wide dedifferentiation of the adaptive asymmetric organization of heteromodal cortex in aging and AD.

description: © 2020 Arthroscopy Association of North America Recurrent lateral patellar dislocation can be a challenging entity to manage. It results from an imbalance between the restraints to lateralization of the patella and the forces applied to the patella within the biomechanical environment of the knee. The medial patellofemoral ligament has been recognized as the most important static soft-tissue restraint. However, the medial patellotibial ligament and medial patellomeniscal ligament are important for patellar stability at higher degrees of knee flexion. Lateral patellar dislocation in flexion poses a particularly challenging clinical entity with a combination of unique characteristics that need to be addressed to achieve optimal patellar tracking and stability. In this technical note, we describe a combined medial patellofemoral ligament and medial patellotibial ligament reconstruction technique to address lateral patellar dislocation in flexion.

description: © 2021, The Author(s). The COVID-19 crisis has had profound impacts on health service provision, particularly those providing client facing services. Supervised injecting facilities and drug consumption rooms across the world have been particularly challenged during the pandemic, as have their client group—people who consume drugs. Several services across Europe and North America closed due to difficulties complying with physical distancing requirements. In contrast, the two supervised injecting facilities in Australia (the Uniting Medically Supervised Injecting Centre—MSIC—in Sydney and the North Richmond Community Health Medically Supervised Injecting Room—MSIR—in Melbourne) remained open (as at the time of writing—December 2020). Both services have implemented a comprehensive range of strategies to continue providing safer injecting spaces as well as communicating crucial health information and facilitating access to ancillary services (such as accommodation) and drug treatment for their clients. This paper documents these strategies and the challenges both services are facing during the pandemic. Remaining open poses potential risks relating to COVID-19 transmission for both staff and clients. However, given the harms associated with closing these services, which include the potential loss of life from injecting in unsafe/unsupervised environments, the public and individual health benefits of remaining open are greater. Both services are deemed ‘essential health services’, and their continued operation has important benefits for people who inject drugs in Sydney and Melbourne.

description: The protein α-actinin-3 expressed in fast-twitch skeletal muscle fiber is absent in 1.5 billion people worldwide due to homozygosity for a nonsense polymorphism in ACTN3 (R577X). The prevalence of the 577X allele increased as modern humans moved to colder climates, suggesting a link between α-actinin-3 deficiency and improved cold tolerance. Here, we show that humans lacking α-actinin-3 (XX) are superior in maintaining core body temperature during cold-water immersion due to changes in skeletal muscle thermogenesis. Muscles of XX individuals displayed a shift toward more slow-twitch isoforms of myosin heavy chain (MyHC) and sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR) proteins, accompanied by altered neuronal muscle activation resulting in increased tone rather than overt shivering. Experiments on Actn3 knockout mice showed no alterations in brown adipose tissue (BAT) properties that could explain the improved cold tolerance in XX individuals. Thus, this study provides a mechanism for the positive selection of the ACTN3 X-allele in cold climates and supports a key thermogenic role of skeletal muscle during cold exposure in humans.

This article analyses the inclusion of Venetian glass pieces and mosaics at four Universal Exhibitions in Paris from 1867 – the first year in which Italy could be represented as a unified country – till 1900, when the annual event inaugurated a new century and a completely different art system. The widening of an international market was the main impulse behind the revival of the Murano tradition and the rebirth of its economy, which had been in crisis in the first half of the 19th century. The main players in this relaunch were Antonio Salviati – at first with a company with his own name and, after 1878, as Compagnia di Venezia e Murano – Pietro Bigaglia and other smaller, less prominent foundries. All were equally active in the production of glass pieces imitating Renaissance pieces, mirrors and mosaics.

description: © The Author(s) 2021. Published by Oxford University Press GigaScience. BACKGROUND: The data produced by long-read third-generation sequencers have unique characteristics compared to short-read sequencing data, often requiring tailored analysis tools for tasks ranging from quality control to downstream processing. The rapid growth in software that addresses these challenges for different genomics applications is difficult to keep track of, which makes it hard for users to choose the most appropriate tool for their analysis goal and for developers to identify areas of need and existing solutions to benchmark against. FINDINGS: We describe the implementation of long-read-tools.org, an open-source database that organizes the rapidly expanding collection of long-read data analysis tools and allows its exploration through interactive browsing and filtering. The current database release contains 478 tools across 32 categories. Most tools are developed in Python, and the most frequent analysis tasks include base calling, de novo assembly, error correction, quality checking/filtering, and isoform detection, while long-read single-cell data analysis and transcriptomics are areas with the fewest tools available. CONCLUSION: Continued growth in the application of long-read sequencing in genomics research positions the long-read-tools.org database as an essential resource that allows researchers to keep abreast of both established and emerging software to help guide the selection of the most relevant tool for their analysis needs.

description: This document contains the 1st draft of general guidelines for making management plan recommendations (MPRs) tailored for the EU fleet operating outside European waters; in accordance with the responsive fisheries management system (RFMS). The RFMS is a management approach founded on the concept of results-based management (RBM), where responsibility for fisheries management is transferred to resource users, provided that they meet with necessary requirements set forth by the competent authorities and document that they can achieve specified management objectives. These draft general guidelines will now be tested in the six FarFish case studies i.e. SW-Atlantic highseas mixed demersal fishery, SE-Atlantic high-seas mixed demersal fishery, Cabo Verde SFPA fishery, Senegalese SFPA fishery, Mauritanian SFPA fishery and the Seychelles SFPA fishery. Stakeholders representing the competent authorities and the EU fleet, as well as any other stakeholders with vested interests in the specific fisheries will follow the guidelines in order to develop MPRs for their fisheries. These MPRs will then be reviewed and audited; and the feedback used to improve the guidelines. This process will then be repeated within the project, as the 2nd draft general guidelines will be published and tested/validated within the FarFish case studies. The third and final version of the guidelines will then be published as a voluntary European standard (CEN Workshop Agreement) at the end of the project.

Egyptian-French Cultural Encounters at the Paris Exposition Universelle of 1867

description:

The subject of this article is the Egyptian exhibition at the Exposition Universelle in Paris in 1867. At the time of the exhibition, Egypt was at the peak of its modernization reforms, and Ismail Pasha had recently received the khedival title and more autonomy from the Ottoman Empire. Focusing on the Egyptian official exhibition catalogues and media coverage, this article argues that the Khedive used the exposition as an opportunity to fashion a powerful dynastic order with a distinct cultural identity independent from the Ottomans, a dynasty that could become the new political and cultural center of the Islamic world and a hyphen between the Occident and the Orient.

description: © 2021 by the authors. Licensee MDPI, Basel, Switzerland. Gut microbiota is essential for the development of obesity and related comorbidities. However, studies describing the association between specific bacteria and obesity or weight loss reported discordant results. The present observational study, conducted within the frame of the PREDIMEDPlus clinical trial, aims to assess the association between fecal microbiota, body composition and weight loss, in response to a 12-month lifestyle intervention in a subsample of 372 individuals (age 55–75) with overweight/obesity and metabolic syndrome. Participants were stratified by tertiles of baseline body mass index (BMI) and changes in body weight after 12-month intervention. General assessments, anthropometry and biochemical measurements, and stool samples were collected. 16S amplicon sequencing was performed on bacterial DNA extracted from stool samples and microbiota analyzed. Differential abundance analysis showed an enrichment of Prevotella 9, Lachnospiraceae UCG-001 and Bacteroides, associated with a higher weight loss after 12-month of follow-up, whereas in the cross-sectional analysis, Prevotella 2 and Bacteroides were enriched in the lowest tertile of baseline BMI. Our findings suggest that fecal microbiota plays an important role in the control of body weight, supporting specific genera as potential target in personalized nutrition for obesity management. A more in-depth taxonomic identification method and the need of metabolic information encourages to further investigation.
