title: The Emergence of a Progressive Aspect in Najdi Arabic
Creators: name: (:Unkn) Unknown
Publisher: name: George Mason University
Year: 2021

description: This dissertation provides insight into how progressivity is expressed in Najdi Arabic (NA) via the active participle [qaʕid] ‘sitting’. Crosslinguistically, progressive constructions are known to originate from locative and postural constructions that tend to grammaticalize into aspectual markers of progressivity. Previous research on the use of [qaʕid] in NA to express the progressive aspect is limited and inconclusive. This dissertation aims to empirically examine native speakers’ acceptability of the use of [qaʕid] as a progressive marker with different predicate types (activity, accomplishment, achievement, and state) in NA.The studies in this dissertation are the first to empirically examine grammatical judgments of [qaʕid] in NA with native speakers. The studies focus on native speaker judgments of the use of [qaʕid] in NA as a progressive aspectual marker. The participation of native speakers of NA in grammaticality judgment tasks was used to investigate whether and how predicate type affects the acceptability of the active participle [qaʕid] as a progressive marker in NA. The grammaticality judgment task allowed the assessment of the process of grammaticalization. In addition, it permitted the inclusion and analysis of a large group of native speakers of NA of different age groups and an investigation of potential age-related differences on the use of [qaʕid] in NA. Results from the studies suggest the following: First, activity, accomplishment, and achievement predicates with [qaʕid] were rated as acceptable in NA. State predicates, both attested and unattested, were not rated as acceptable for NA speakers, but notably were also not rated as entirely unacceptable. That is, they were essentially judged to fall into a region in between. This dissertation showed a negative relationship between age and acceptability of [qaʕid] as a progressive marker in NA. The results indicate that age predicted the overall acceptability ratings, with younger participants rating the progressive marker as more acceptable than older participants across all predicate types. Finally, the function of [qaʕid] as a progressive marker in NA appears to be undergoing grammaticalization. The results indicate that the use of [qaʕid] in NA to express the progressive aspect is at the desemanticization stage of grammaticalization, whereby the original lexical locative meaning is bleached out. Furthermore, the results suggest that [qaʕid] in NA is more strongly grammaticalized for younger native speakers compared to older native speakers, providing further support for the gradual process of grammaticalization across generations of native speakers.

title: Antimicrobial Peptides as Dual Therapeutic Strategies to Treat Venezuelan Equine Encephalitis Virus Infections and the Associated Inflammatory Response
Creators: name: (:Unkn) Unknown
Publisher: name: George Mason University
Year: 2020

description: Venezuelan equine encephalitis virus (VEEV), a New World alphavirus of the Togaviridae family of viruses, causes periodic outbreaks of disease in humans and equines. Disease following VEEV infection manifests as a febrile illness with flu-like symptoms, which can progress to encephalitis and cause permanent neurological sequelae and death in a small number of cases. VEEV is classified as a category B select agent due to ease of aerosolization and high retention of infectivity in the aerosol form. Currently, there are no FDA-approved vaccines or therapeutics available to combat VEEV infections. VEEV infection in vivo is characterized by extensive systemic and neurological inflammation that can exacerbate infection by potentially increasing the susceptibility of off-site cells to infection and dissemination of the virus, and in encephalitic cases by leading to disruption of blood-brain barrier (BBB) function. Hence, a therapeutic targeting both the infection and associated inflammation represents an unmet need. Here I present a novel approach utilizing human antimicrobial peptides (AMPs), including the cathelicidin LL-37 as well as designed synthetic derivatives, to combat VEEV infections. AMPs are a key component of the innate immune response and exhibit immunomodulatory activity that regulates signaling cascades to decrease inflammatory events. The data presented here demonstrated that AMPs exhibit antiviral activity against attenuated and wild-type strains of VEEV. The peptides exhibit dual activities: 1) antiviral activity by inhibiting viral entry and 2) immunomodulatory activity inhibiting inflammatory responses during VEEV infection. I have screened a library of synthetic peptides derived from a cathelicidin and identified a number of these agents that demonstrated efficacy against VEEV. Two candidate synthetic peptides inhibited VEEV replication by approximately 1000-fold and decreased the expression of inflammatory mediators such as IL1α, IL1β, IFNᵧ, and TNFα at both the gene and protein expression levels. Furthermore, an increase in expression levels of genes involved in chemotaxis of leukocytes and anti-inflammatory genes such as IL1RN was also observed. These peptides also decreased inflammation in cells of the BBB while increasing the expression of tight junction proteins in VEEV-infected cells. Overall, I conclude that cathelicidin-derived synthetic peptides and LL-37 inhibit VEEV replication and the inflammatory burden associated with VEEV infection.

But, plotting the results of GAMMs are not always so easy, especially if you have some interactions in there.  I've already posted a little about how you can plot predictions from GAMMs in other posts, but I've been improving (in my opinion), and want to expand to when you have interactions also.

Subjects: subject: Health insurance coverage
subject: Young adults

description: Background. The large number of uninsured individuals in the United States creates negative consequences for those who are uninsured and for those who are covered by health insurance plans. Young adults between the ages of 18 and 24 are the largest uninsured population subgroup. This subgroup warrants analysis. The major aim of this study is to determine why young adults between the ages of 18 and 24 are the largest uninsured population subgroup. Methods. The present study seeks to determine why young adults between the ages of 18 and 24 are the largest population subgroup that is not covered by private health insurance. Data on perceived health status, perceived need, perceived value, socioeconomic status, gender, and race was obtained from a national sample of 1,340 young adults from the 2005 Medical Expenditure Panel Survey and examined for possible explanatory variables, as well as data on the same variables from a national sample of 1,463 from the 2008 Medical Expenditure Panel Survey. Results. Results of the structural equation model analysis indicate that insurance coverage in the 2005 sample was largely a function of higher socioeconomic status and being a non-minority. Perceived health status, perceived need, perceived value, and gender were not significant predictors of private health insurance coverage in the 2005 sample. However, in the 2008 sample, these indicators changed. Socioeconomic status, minority status, perceived health, perceived need, and perceived value were significant predictors of private health insurance coverage. Conclusions. The results of this study show that coverage by a private health insurance plan in the 2005 sample was largely a matter of having a higher socioeconomic status and having a non-minority status. In 2008 each of the attitudinal variables (perceived health, perceived value, and perceived need) predicted whether subjects carried private insurance. Our findings suggest that among those sampled, the young adult subgroup between the ages of 18 and 24 does not necessarily represent a unique segment of the population, with behaviors differing from the rest of the sample.

description: Muscle wasting is due to an excessive activation of degradative pathways. It occurs in different pathologies such as cancer, AIDS, diabetes but inevitably it occurs in everybody’s life during aging. Sarcopenia is the degenerative loss of skeletal muscle mass and strength associated with aging. The ability to activate compensatory mechanisms in response to environmental stress and physiological changing is an important factor for survival and maintenance of cellular functions. A system that is often activated both in short and prolonged stress conditions is autophagy. Autophagy is required to clear the cell from dysfunctional organelles and altered proteins and is reported to decline during ageing. This reduction might contribute to age-related organ dysfunction and, in general, to ageing. Here we report that specific autophagy inhibition in muscle has a major impact on this tissue that ultimately affect life span of animals. Inhibition of autophagy exacerbates the aging-related features of muscle such as atrophy, mitochondrial dysfunction, oxidative stress and profound weakness. Mitochondrial dysfunction and oxidative stress directly affect acto-myosin interaction and force generation. These results demonstrate that aging-related muscle dysfunction is mainly caused by a failure of the autophagy system. It has been reported that lifestyle adaptations, such as caloric restriction and physical exercise are able to ameliorate several features during ageing process, moreover physical activity has been recently documented to play a fundamental physiological role in the regulation of autophagy in several tissues. Here we address also the role of autophagy during exercise. We reveal that autophagy is critical for the preservation of mitochondrial function during damaging muscle contraction. We establish that basal oxidative stress plays a crucial role in mitochondrial maintenance during normal physical activity. Therefore, autophagy is an adaptive response to exercise that ensures effective mitochondria-quality control during damaging physical activity.

description: Mitochondria generate ATP and are a source of potentially toxic reactive oxygen species (ROS). It has been suggested that the gradual mitochondrial dysfunction that accompanies aging could be causal to the aging process.

However, our findings suggest that age-dependent mitochondrial dysfunction is not sufficient to limit life span.

Furthermore, mitochondrial ROS are not always deleterious and can even stimulate pro-longevity pathways. I will also describe our recent results that can allow reconciling the complex actions of pro- and anti-oxidants on lifespan without invoking hormesis.

title: SYLLABIFICATION OF CODA CONSONANT CLUSTERS IN NAJDI AND HIJAZI ARABIC
Creators: name: (:Unkn) Unknown
Publisher: name: George Mason University
Year: 2019

description: The super-heavy syllable structure (CVCC) of Modern Standard Arabic (MSA) has been claimed to be the best syllable to study syllabification and syllable structures in all Arabic varieties (Kenstowicz, 1986). Tautomorphemic lexical items that have the CVCC syllable of MSA do not have underlying vowels in their canonical syllable structure and exhibit all possible manifestations within sonority sequencing (Al Tamimi & Al Shboul, 2013). Previous research of coda clusters on Arabic dialects has generally documented clusters of the CVCC syllable in one of two ways: Either the last two consonants in the cluster observe the sonority hierarchy and the clusters do not undergo any change, or the sonority hierarchy is violated and anaptyxis of the cluster occurs (e.g., Abboud, 1979; Prochazka, 1988; Ingham, 1994; Al-Mozainy, 1981). Najdi Arabic (NA) and Hijazi Arabic (HA) have been documented to adhere to this generalization, but there are also documented exceptions (e.g., Al Qahtani, 2014; Al-Mohanna, 1998). This dissertation reports on three experiments designed to ascertain how coda clusters of the CVCC syllable surface in NA and HA. The first experiment is a production experiment that is designed to elicit coda clusters with different sonority profiles by NA and HA speakers. The results of the production experiment show variation of clusters that undergo and forego anaptyxis within sonority rises, but indicate sonority falls and plateaus as acceptable clusters by speakers. Results of this experiment also find sonority distance to play a predictive role when anaptyxis occurs. The second and third experiments are perception experiments that are designed to complement the first experiment and minimize methodological issues associated with the production experiment. Results of these two experiments show that variation exists mostly within sonority rises, and less so within falls and plateaus; hence, the results of the perception experiments indicate that categorical use of sonority-based explanations is not sufficient to explain the variation within each coda type. Similar to the results of the first experiment, results of the perception experiments indicate that sonority distance imposes restrictions when anaptyxis occurs or does not occur. Results of the perception experiments also indicate that that other non-sonority-based factors, such as the order of the place of articulation of the coda sequences and Obligatory Contour Principle-NASAL can have an effect on when clusters undergo anaptyxis. The results of this dissertation suggest that speakers of NA and HA do not treat coda clusters in an all-or-nothing binary fashion.

description: À medida que novas tecnologias vêm sendo desenvolvidas, abrangendo e manipulando novas idéias, os conceitos de educação on-line estão mudando rapidamente. Em resposta à essas mudanças, muitos estados, instituições e organizações têm trabalhado em planos estratégicos para implementar ambientes virtuais de aprendizagem (AVAs). Ao mesmo tempo, equívocos e mitos relacionados à dificuldade de ensino e aprendizagem são relatados, principalmente relacionados ao apoio e compensação necessários para instrutores e estudantes. Este documento fornece uma discussão inicial sobre o uso do Google Classroom como um aplicativo didático-pedagógico que favorece a comunicação entre alunos e professores durante as aulas dos cursos da área de Informática do Instituto Federal do Triângulo Mineiro durante o período de dois meses do primeiro semestre de 2017. Os resultados indicaram que a maioria dos alunos passaram a interagir mais com o professor e também houve uma melhoria na
 pontualidade de entrega dos trabalhos. Adicionalmente os alunos ficam em imersão com a disciplina, uma vez que, eles são alertados por celular a cada notificação realizada pelo professor. Os resultados apontam que, embora existam desvantagens em relação ao uso do aplicativo em sala de aula, devido à ausência de alguns recursos importantes, as vantagens são extremamente positivas no contexto educacional.
title: Utilizing EEG to detect covert command-following in vegetative traumatic brain injury patients: A review
Creators: name: Leonard, Julia
Publisher: name: George Mason University
Year: 2020
Subjects: subject: Traumatic brain injury

description: 1.7 million people in the US suffer from traumatic brain injury (TBI) each year, typically resulting from car accidents, contact sports, military operations, and falls [1]. Currently, healthcare personnel rely on the Glasgow Coma Scale (GCS) and other behavioral assessments for TBI diagnosis, which are rather subjective and poor diagnostic tools [1]. Other commonplace methods include medical resonance imaging (MRI) and computed tomography (CT) scans, which lack portability and are a financial burden on patients and hospitals. Because of this, both MRI and CT lack easy repeatability. Current techniques result in 36% of TBI patients receiving a misdiagnosis, and proper diagnosis is only seen after 5 assessments over 2 weeks [2]. Diagnosis is important for outcome, as patients that show covert command-following have a better chance of survival [3]. This review will highlight current new methods for diagnosing TBI patients with little or no physical movement and response to environment. Studies utilizing methods such as electroencephalography (EEG) and P300 display how patients in varying disorders of consciousness have covert responses to commands, although behavioral assessments would diagnose them as nonresponsive. 17-20% of vegetative patients completing lacking in physical movements show brain activity response to imagery tasks [4,5]. EEG and P300 prove to be a promising tool moving forward for TBI diagnoses, as it is more portable and a fraction of the cost of MRIs, allowing for multiple assessments over time. Limitations include high heterogeneity in EEG data, which can lead to false positives and negatives, as well as P300 methods need greater control before they can be fully adopted [5,6]. Ultimately, EEG techniques show clinical applicability for TBI diagnosis, especially as the methods continue to improve.

description: Nowadays, it is becoming more evident that the biological activity attributed to polyphenols would be mainly due to the phenolic metabolites formed in the human body, rather than the original forms. Therefore, complete characterization of grape-derived phenolic products should also include the evaluation of their potential bioavailability.
 In the ISANH 2015 Congress, we presented the chemical composition of grape pomace extracts obtained under innovative processes. In this edition, we have applied a Dynamic Gastrointestinal Simulator (simgi®) to study the metabolism of those extracts and their impact on human colon microbiota. Ammonium, short chain fatty acids and main grape phenolic compounds and their metabolites, as well as main microbial groups were monitored in the digested samples. The results showed that feeding of the simgi® with these extracts (700 mg/day, 14 days) activated the metabolism of the colonic microbiota, producing some phenolic metabolites such as gallic acid, protocatechuic acid, 3-O-methylgallic, syringic acid, catechol, 3,4-dihydroxyphenylacetic acid, 3-hydroxyphenylacetic acid and 3-(3,4-dihydroxyphenyl)propionic acid, among others, as well as an increase in the proportion of butanoic acid. Concurrently, feeding of grape pomace extracts produced slight changes at microbiological level, mainly in the lactic acid bacteria group.

description: Silymarin, an extract from the seeds of Silybum marianum (milk thistle), is widely used in human medicine due to its antioxidant and hepatoprotective effects1. Silymarin consists primarily of a mixture of flavonolignans, which belong among phenolic compounds. To date, the biotransformation of the main flavonolignan silybin has only been investigated in more detail2. This study therefore examined the metabolic profiles of minor silymarin flavonolignans in human hepatocytes. We included in our experiments silybin, silychristin, silydianin, and their 2,3-dehydroderivatives, i.e. dehydrosilybin, dehydrosilychristin and dehydrosilydianin. Suspensions of human hepatocytes were incubated for up to 2 hrs with the tested compounds, and the cells and cell supernatants were analyzed using high-performance liquid chromatography/mass spectrometry method. We found that silybin, dehydrosilybin, silychristin and dehydrosilychristin were metabolized by sulfation or glucuronidation. In contrast, silydianin and dehydrosilydianin appeared to undergo reduction (i.e. hydrogenation) and/or glucuronidation. Moreover, dehydrosilydianin was the only compound which underwent the cycle fragmentation. We conclude that silymarin flavonolignans and 2,3-dehydro-flavonolignans are primarily metabolized by phase II conjugation enzymes in human hepatocytes.

description: Dr. Mowinckel's blog:   When you work with neuroimaging data like I do, you often find your self swapping back and forth between R and the imaging software of your choise.  For me, that is usually [FSL](https://fsl.fmrib.ox.ac.uk/fsl/fslwiki/) or [Freesurfer](https://surfer.nmr.mgh.harvard.edu/). Since the resolution of the brain we have is quite large and 3 dimensional, we often reduce the data to segments that meaningfully go together.  For instance, areas of the brain that control language or visual processing, or areas of the brain with similar structural properties.  If you have worked with Freesurfer, the Desikan Killany coortical atlas (aparc) is likely well known to you.  This is an atlas that consist of 36 segments, which are well-defined ([Automatically Parcellating the Human Cerebral Cortex](https://surfer.nmr.mgh.harvard.edu/ftp/articles/fischl04-parcellation.pdf), Fischl et al., (2004).

description: À medida que novas tecnologias vêm sendo desenvolvidas, abrangendo e manipulando novas idéias, os conceitos de educação on-line estão mudando rapidamente. Em resposta à essas mudanças, muitos estados, instituições e organizações têm trabalhado em planos estratégicos para implementar ambientes virtuais de aprendizagem (AVAs). Ao mesmo tempo, equívocos e mitos relacionados à dificuldade de ensino e aprendizagem são relatados, principalmente relacionados ao apoio e compensação necessários para instrutores e estudantes. Este documento fornece uma discussão inicial sobre o uso do Google Classroom como um aplicativo didático-pedagógico que favorece a comunicação entre alunos e professores durante as aulas dos cursos da área de Informática do Instituto Federal do Triângulo Mineiro durante o período de dois meses do primeiro semestre de 2017. Os resultados indicaram que a maioria dos alunos passaram a interagir mais com o professor e também houve uma melhoria na
 pontualidade de entrega dos trabalhos. Adicionalmente os alunos ficam em imersão com a disciplina, uma vez que, eles são alertados por celular a cada notificação realizada pelo professor. Os resultados apontam que, embora existam desvantagens em relação ao uso do aplicativo em sala de aula, devido à ausência de alguns recursos importantes, as vantagens são extremamente positivas no contexto educacional.

description: Diabetes type 2 is associated to increase cognitive decline. Cinnamon (CN), one of the most important spice used daily over the world has been described both as an antioxidant and an insulin sensitizer, suggesting pharmacological interest in the prevention and treatment of insulin-resistant (IR) states.
AIM: In this study, we investigated on the brain redox state the effects of CN added to a High Fat/High fructose (HF/HFr) diet inducing IR.
Method: Male Wistar rats were fed with a HF/HFr enriched or not with cinnamon (CN) (20mg/kg diet) for 12weeks. RT-PCR mRNA expression of genes involved in redox signalling (Nrf2) inflammation (NfB) and metabolism (AMPK-) and mitochondrial oxidative stress parameters (TBARS and FRAP) were assessed in frontal cortex
Results: CN decreased food intake in HF/HFr group. In the brain, CN failed to reverse mitochondrial TBARS increase and FRAP decrease induced by HF/Hfr diet , but succeeded in decreasing NFκB and AMPK-α and reversing the decrease of Nrf2 mRNA gene expression induced by the HF/Hfr diet.

Conclusion: CN added to a HF/HFr diet  might afford a benefit in brain alterations induced by an unhealthy diet.

description: In this study, the phenolic compounds of black and red rice brans were identified and quantified (μg/g, dry basis) by HPLC-DAD-ESI-MS/MS. Furthermore, the in vitro scavenging capacities of each rice bran extracts against peroxyl radicals (ROO●), hypochlorous acid (HOCl) and peroxynitrite anion (ONOO-) were determined. The major phenolic compound in both the red and black rice brans was ferulic acid, accounting for 71% and 37% of the total phenolic compounds, respectively. Cyanidin 3-glucoside was the major anthocyanin in black rice bran (411±6 µg/g), while none anthocyanin was detected in red rice. All the extracts were able to scavenge the tested reactive species in a concentration-dependent manner; however, in general, the black rice bran extracts (with the highest phenolic compound contents) exhibited the highest scavenging capacity with the lowest IC50 values (0.6-8.3 µg/mL). The black rice bran extracts exhibited the highest scavenging capacity against ONOO- (IC50=0.60±0.05 µg/mL) and ROO● (3.4 times more efficient than trolox). Regarding the red rice bran, the extract presented high scavenging efficiency against HOCl (IC50=5.0±0.5 µg/mL). Thus, both pigmented rice brans exhibited a promising antioxidant potential that may contribute to human health against oxidative processes as induced by biologically relevant reactive oxygen and nitrogen species.

description: This paper maps the emergence and consequences of automated Algorithmic Performance Management (APM) in the context of higher education. After reviewing the evolution of productivity management in academia, it argues that surveillance via APM shifts expectations not just about effectiveness at work but also about how work, and the good worker, come to be defined. In our paradigmatic case study of Office 365, we specify how the automated surveillance of workforce practices are deployed to redefine productivity in higher education: productive workers become good data subjects as well as producers of papers, grants, and other traditional outputs of success. Our analysis suggests performing well at work is managed in and by the platform via logics of the surveillance of wellness, time-regulation, and social connectivity to influence, manage, and control workers. We critique these automated performance measures in terms of platform capitalism, noting Office 365’s Viva Insights function as a telematic device of surveillance. The final section of the paper places these trends in Australia’s socio-legal context by showing how Viva is insufficient for considering performance given the range of practices that constitute “academic work,” including but not limited to the need for unmonitored activity. Yet, we observe that currently little can be done about Office 365’s surveillant presence given a regulatory regime that by and large excludes productivity surveillance from the scope of regulated surveillance activities.
DIETARY POLYPHENOLS, METABOLIC SYNDROME AND ITS INDIVIDUAL COMPONENTS
Creators: name: GROSSO, Giuseppe
Publisher: name: Journal of International Society of Antioxidants in  Nutrition & Health
Year: 2016

description: The association between total and individual classes of polyphenol and prevalence of metabolic syndrome (MetS) and its components was evaluated in a cohort of 8,821 Polish adults (the HAPIEE cohort). Individuals in the highest quartile of polyphenol intake were less likely to have MetS, as well as elevated waist circumference, blood pressure, high lipoprotein cholesterol, and triglycerides in women, and fasting plasma glucose in both genders. Among individual classes of polyphenols, phenolic acids and stilbenes were significantly associated with MetS; lignans and stilbenes with waist circumference; phenolic acids with blood pressure and triglycerides; and flavonoids with fasting plasma glucose. The analyses were repeated prospectively in individuals free of hypertension or diabetes and followed up to 6 years. Total polyphenols were associated with decreased risk of both hypertension (in both men and women) and diabetes (only in women). Among the main classes, flavonoids, phenolic acids, and stilbenes were responsible for the decreased risk of hypertension, while flavonoids and “other” polyphenols for diabetes.

SYSTEMIC ABSORPTION, METABOLISM, AND BIOAVAILABILITY OF DIETARY PROCYANIDINS IN PIGS
Creators: name: HUMPF, Hans-Ulrich
Publisher: name: Journal of International Society of Antioxidants in  Nutrition & Health
Year: 2016

description: Procyanidins are oligomers of catechin and epicatechin and they can be found in a large number of foods including various fruits. The daily consumption is estimated to be in the range of approximately 50 mg. Procyanidins are described to exhibit beneficial health effects, however the knowledge about their absorption and metabolic fate is rather limited. To study the systemic absorption and metabolism of procyanidins a kinetic study with pigs was performed as they have a gastro-intestinal tract very similar to humans. After oral application of a procyanidin extract or a single dose of pure procyanidin B4 to pigs urine and plasma samples were collected and analyzed by HPLC-MS/MS. The results clearly indicate the absorption of low molecular weight procyanidins (dimers and trimers) in the nanomolar range and their metabolism to small phenolic degradation products during the passage of the gastro-intestinal tract.
