description: For decades, scholars have been calling out a spatial turn in media and communication studies. Yet, in public sphere research, spatial concepts such as space and place have mainly been used metaphorically. In recent years, the abundance of digital trace data offers new opportunities to locate communicative interactions, sparking new interest in the spatial turn in media and communication and opening up new perspectives on spaces and places also within public sphere research. Digital location data enables one to: study the places and spaces in which (semi-)public communication is embedded; uncover geographical inequalities between countries, regions, cities, and peripheries; and highlight the local contexts of public spheres. This thematic issue gathers some of these endeavors in one place, bringing together conceptual, methodological, and empirical contributions that spell out the spatiality of public spheres in detail and combine the analysis of spaces, places, and geographies with long-standing concepts of public sphere research.

description: Testicular crystalline inclusions, namely Charcot-Böttcher and Spangaro crystals of Sertoli cells, Lubarsch crystals of spermatogonia and Reinke crystals of Leydig cells, have been considered normal ultrastructural features of the post-pubertal human testis (Reinke, 1896; Chemes et al., 1977; Kaya et al., 1985). Nevertheless, their significance is not known. We have noted that these structures are dynamic and may disappear and reappear in some cases of subfertility. In particular, patients showing spermatogenesis arrest or germ cell aplasia usually do not show any crystalline inclusions. We study herein using transmission electron microscopy testicular biopsies of young infertile men (idiopathic infertility or varicocele) showing intracytoplasmic crystalline and/or paracrystalline inclusions. Sertoli cells’ paracrystalline inclusions consist of closely packed electron-dense longitudinal fibrils, sometimes including a granular and light core. Coarse ca. 5-25 μm long and 2-3 μm thick bundles composed of 5 or 10 nm thick filaments mainly locate in the basal cytoplasm near the nucleus. Reinke’s crystals, in turn, appear as variable-sized (2-5 μm long) polyhedral crystals with a honeycomb lattice and sharp edges consisting of 5-10 nm filaments filling wide areas of the cytoplasm. Alternatively, they may appear as filamentous/tubular, electron dense (0,5 μm long) units. In both cases they associate to mitochondria and dilated smooth endoplasmic reticulum. Due to their structure, whether these inclusions arise or not within the nucleus and are somehow transported to the cytoplasm is not yet clear. Although their exact molecular composition remains to be discovered, they are not likely to be associated to steroidogenesis but rather they may represent a kind of protein deposit.

description: The tumorigenic capacity in cancer, including TC, is confined in a small subpopulation of stem-like cells termed cancer stem cells (CSCs). To date, markers for thyroid CSCs remain to be confirmed. Thus, the identification of a specific antigen to distinguish thyroid CSCs from normal SCs represents a crucial step to develop targeted therapies. The aim of this study was to investigate the expression of stemness markers and to isolate putative SCs from both normal thyroid and TC. Normal and neoplastic tissue samples were harvested from a cohort of 19 patients affected by TC, who underwent thyroidectomy. Fresh specimens were enzymatically digested. Cell suspensions were characterized by flow cytometry using anti-CD133, -CD45, -CD31, -CD44 and -CD105 antibodies. A portion of cells was suspended in SC medium (SCM) in order to obtain thyroid spheres. CD133+ and CD105+ cell rates were significantly higher in TC than in normal thyroid tissue (2.5% vs. 0.1% and 3.9% vs. 0.5% respectively, p<0.02). No difference was found regarding CD44+. In TC both CD45+ and CD31+ cell rates were 1.3%, but 1.45% of CD133+ cells were also positive for CD45 and 0.8% for CD31. In normal tissues CD45+ and CD31+ cell rates were 0.5% and 0.03%, respectively, but none of CD133+ cells were positive for CD45 and CD31. Putative SCs were isolated particularly from TC samples; they grew as both freefloating spheres and adherent cells. The re-evaluation of markers in putative SC isolated from 2 cases of normal tissue showed that cells expressed higher levels of CD133, CD105 and CD44 with respect to those obtained after tissue digestion. These preliminary findings suggest the presence of a higher fraction of CD133+ and CD105+ cells in TC samples compared to normal tissues. The higher expression of the stemness markers in TC may be related to the better survival of cells obtained from the TC samples in the SCM. Further investigation is required to draw any conclusion, but our approach seems to be promising.

description: Abstract

Neurological illnesses affect more than twenty million people. People globally each year. Stroke, brain tumors, dementia, Parkinson's disease, and numerous other infections are examples of neurological conditions. Computed tomography (CT), magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), positron emissions tomography, and other standard diagnostics techniques are used. MRI has the best safety, highest detection rate, and consistency among these techniques. The benefits of non-invasive, non-radioactive, multi-parameter imaging offered by MRI as an advanced imaging technique make it a vital tool for identifying brain disorders. Perfusion-weighted imaging (PWI), diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI), and functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) are the three subtypes of MRI. This research focuses on their technical tenets, traits, and clinical applications to further these three approaches—improving clinical neurological condition detection and therapy and developing magnetic resonance technologies.

description: Introduction Mental disorders pose a huge burden to both individuals and health systems. Symptoms and syndromes often remain undetected and untreated, resulting in comorbidity and chronification. Besides limited resources in healthcare systems, the treatment-gap is—to a large extent—caused by within-person barriers impeding early treatment seeking. These barriers include a lack of trust in professionals, fear of stigmatisation, or the desire to cope with problems without professional help. While unguided self-management interventions are not designed to replace psychotherapy, they may support early symptom assessment and recognition by reducing within-person barriers. Digital self-management solutions may also reduce inequalities in access to care due to external factors such as regional unavailability of services. Methods and analysis Approximately 1100 patients suffering from mild to moderate depressive, anxiety, sleep, eating or somatisation-related mental disorders will be randomised to receive either a low-threshold unguided digital self-management tool in the form of a transdiagnostic mental health app or care as usual. The primary outcomes will be mental health literacy, patient empowerment and access to care while secondary outcomes will be symptom distress and quality of life. Additional moderator and predictor variables are negative life events, personality functioning, client satisfaction, mental healthcare service use and application of self-management strategies. Data will be collected at baseline as well as 8 weeks and 6 months after randomisation. Data will be analysed using multiple imputation and analysis of covariance employing the intention-to-treat principle, while sensitivity analyses will be based on different multiple imputation parameters and a per-protocol analysis. Ethics and dissemination Approval was obtained from the Ethics Committee of the Faculty of Educational Science and Psychology at the Freie Universität Berlin. The results will be submitted to peer-reviewed specialised journals and presented at national and international conferences.

description: Einstein Gravity can be formulated as a gauge theory with the tangent space respecting the Lorentz symmetry. In this paper we show that the dimension of the tangent space can be larger than the dimension of the manifold and by requiring the invariance of the theory with respect to 5d Lorentz group (de Sitter group) Einstein theory is reproduced unambiguously. The other possibility is to have unitary symmetry on a complex tangent space of the same dimension as the manifold. In this case the resultant theory is Einstein-Strauss Hermitian gravity. The tangent group is important for matter couplings. We show that in the de Sitter case the 4 dimensional space time vector and scalar are naturally unified by a hidden symmetry being components of a 5d vector in the tangent space. With a de Sitter tangent group spinors can exist only when they are made complex or taken in doublets in a way similar to N=2 supersymmetry.

description: Parkinson’s disease (PD) is characterized by degeneration and loss of dopaminergic nigrostriatal neurons, responsible for neurologic symptoms. Besides motor signs, most PD patients experience gastrointestinal (GI) disturbances, including dyspepsia and constipation, which impair severely their quality of life. The pathophysiology of digestive disturbances in PD is largely unknown, but recently a link between PD and colonic inflammation has been observed in human biopsies [1]. Our study aims at evaluating some inflammatory patterns in colonic whole wall in a rat model of PD. PD was induced in rats by unilateral injection of 6-idroxydopamine (6-OHDA) into two sites of the right medial forebrain bundle. Studies were carried out 28 and 56 days after treatment on full-thickness samples from distal colon. The following parameters were examined: tissue malondialdehyde (MDA), an index of membrane lipid peroxidation; tumor necrosis factor (TNF), an index of inflammatory cytokine release; inflammatory cells (eosinophils, mast cells); glial fibrillar acid protein (GFAP) and substance P (SP) expression in myenteric ganglia by immunohistochemical staining. At both time points 6-OHDA-induced nigrostriatal denervation was associated with significant increase in: a) tissue levels of MDA (membrane oxidative stress) and TNF (tissue inflammation); b) density of eosinophil and mast cell in tunica mucosa and submucosa (inflammatory infiltration); b) GFAP expression in myenteric ganglia of tunica muscularis (enteric glia activation); c) SP expression in myenteric neurons, which is compatible with an enhanced tachykinenergic motor control as shown by preliminary functional studies on colonic muscle strips from PD rats. Our findings suggest that experimental PD, elicited by nigrostriatal dopaminergic degeneration, is associated with an inflammation of the colonic wall involving all layers. These results support the view that peripheral enteric neuroinflammation may account for GI motor dysfunctions in PD.

The aesthetic judgment “This is art” in Stanley Cavell and Thierry de Duve

description: Stanley Cavell and Thierry de Duve have independently proposed that judgments of the type “This is art” are aesthetic judgments, to be understood along the lines of Kant’s analysis of the judgment of taste. Contrary to the common philosophical strategy of pursuing a definition of art that could be applied to controversial cases, Cavell and de Duve reinterpret the art-judgment as a reflective aesthetic judgment that claims universal agreement on non-conceptual grounds. Accordingly, judging something to be a genuine artwork is not a preliminary step but an inherent part of our aesthetic engagement with art. Furthermore, the transcendental grounding of such judgments implies that some universal and necessary conditions of human experience are revealed in the domain of art. Yet, our analysis shows that the two positions disagree on (1) the role of distinct artistic media as being essential (Cavell) or inessential (de Duve) to the art-judgment; and (2) the relation of criticism to judgment in the experience of art. Both points are related to the philosophers’ differences regarding the material aspect of artistic experience, as well as to some further moments in their respective appropriations of Kantian aesthetics. We propose that combining the complementing insights of the two positions contributes to defining the common framework of our experience of art in its characteristic contemporary diversity. Specifically, it serves to negotiate the still much relevant tension between the high modernist position represented by Cavell and the post-conceptual position represented by de Duve.

description: We report an inter-comparison of some popular algorithms within the artificial neural network domain (viz., Local search algorithms, global search algorithms, higher order algorithms and the hybrid algorithms) by applying them to the standard benchmarking problems like the IRIS data, XOR/N-Bit parity and Two Spiral. Apart from giving a brief description of these algorithms, the results obtained for the above benchmark problems are presented in the paper. The results suggest that while Levenberg-Marquardt algorithm yields the lowest RMS error for the N-bit Parity and the Two Spiral problems, Higher Order Neurons algorithm gives the best results for the IRIS data problem. The best results for the XOR problem are obtained with the Neuro Fuzzy algorithm. The above algorithms were also applied for solving several regression problems such as cos(x) and a few special functions like the Gamma function, the complimentary Error function and the upper tail cumulative $χ^2$-distribution function. The results of these regression problems indicate that, among all the ANN algorithms used in the present study, Levenberg-Marquardt algorithm yields the best results. Keeping in view the highly non-linear behaviour and the wide dynamic range of these functions, it is suggested that these functions can be also considered as standard benchmark problems for function approximation using artificial neural networks.

A particular member of this class is also shown to be equivalent to the Eddington-Born-Infeld gravity, recently proposed as a candidate for dark matter. Bigravity theories also have cosmological de Sitter backgrounds and we find solutions interpolating between matter and acceleration eras.

description: Popular news media play an instrumental role in shaping public perception of issues like the opioid crisis. Using a detailed coding instrument, we analyzed how opioid-related scholarly publications were covered in 149 news stories published by nine major US and Canadian online news outlets at the height of the crisis. We find that a small proportion of available studies receive coverage, mostly within issue-focused rather than science communication news stories. While most studies are framed as established “facts,” stories rarely provide sufficient information for news consumers to critically evaluate the validity of the research. Potential implications for science communication and public perception of the opioid crisis are discussed.

description: We examine the possibility of coherent, reversible information transfer between solid-state superconducting qubits and ensembles of ultra-cold atoms. Strong coupling between these systems is mediated by a microwave transmission line resonator that interacts near-resonantly with the atoms via their optically excited Rydberg states. The solid-state qubits can then be used to implement rapid quantum logic gates, while collective metastable states of the atoms can be employed for long-term storage and optical read-out of quantum information.

description: The ultrastructural localization of melatonin receptors Mt1 and Mt2 in human salivary glands has previously been reported (Isola el al, 2013). In the acinar cells, the intragranular distribution of these receptors suggested to us that they may serve as a transcytotic system for melatonin. In an attempt to verify our working-hypothesis we currently exposed anaesthetized rats to the intravenous infusion of melatonin for 2 hrs. After another 30 min, the parotid gland on the right side was removed to be compared with prestimulation removed pieces of the left parotid gland serving as control specimens. Parotid gland tissues from 5 rats were cut into small pieces and fixed with a mixture of paraformaldehyde and glutaraldehyde. They were dehydrated, and embedded in Epon Resin. The ultrathin sections were collected on nickel grids and incubated overnight at 4ºC with an antibody specific for Mt1 and Mt2, respectively. The grids were then incubated for 1 hr with the appropriate secondary antibody conjugated to gold particles and, finally examined using electron transmission microscopy. In all sections, the immunoreactivity to Mt2 and, with less intensity, to Mt1 was principally expressed in secretory granules of acinar cells. Occasionally, plasma membranes were also stained, although slightly. Statistical analysis showed that, in response to melatonin, the immunogold particles reactive for Mt1, but not those for Mt2, increased. To conclude, in line with our hypothesis, melatonin stimulates an acinar carrier system, which seems predominantly to involve the Mt1 receptor, in order to delivery this hormone into saliva.

description: Introduction: With menopause women face many changes that may lead to the loss of health related fitness, especially if sedentary. In particular, the estrogens deficiency affects the endothelial function thus increasing the incidence of the cardiovascular diseases. The cardio-protective effects of physical exercise is at least partially due to its ability to improve the health of arterial walls by influencing the endothelial function. Nonetheless, a direct angiogenetic of the physical exercise cannot be ruled out. VEGF is an important modulator of vascular growth but there are contrasting results about its response to physical exercise. Aim of our study was to compare the effects of two aerobic training on the VEGF levels and on the angiogenesis in postmenopausal women. Material and Methods. 34 Postmenopausal women underwent a 13 weeks training. In order to analyse the angiogentic effects, plasmatic VEGF levels were analysed before (T0) and after the training (T1). Moreover, the ability of the T0 and T1 serum to chemoattract endothelial cells and to induce them to form tubes was analyzed. Results: All post-menopausal women increase VEGF (P=0,014) after training. In vitro tests evidenced that when cultured in presence of T1 serum, HUVEC cells improved their ability to form tube (P<0,001) as well as their calibre (P<0,001). Moreover, migration assays evidenced that after training the serum chemoattractive capacity increased significantly (P<0,001) capacity. Conclusion: Our data evidence that aerobic training influence the arterial wall physiology also inducing a angiogenetic affect.

description: The Lifshitz theory of dispersion forces leads to thermodynamic and experimental inconsistencies when the role of drifting charge carriers is included in the model of the dielectric response. Recently modified reflection coefficients were suggested that take into account screening effects and diffusion currents. We demonstrate that this theoretical approach leads to a violation of the third law of thermodynamics (Nernst's heat theorem) for a wide class of materials and is excluded by the data from two recent experiments. The physical reason for its failure is explained by the violation of thermal equilibrium, which is the fundamental applicability condition of the Lifshitz theory, in the presence of drift and diffusion currents.

Publisher: name: University of British Columbia

description: The Bose-Einstein distribution is derived, and from this the mean values and fluctuations of the thermodynamic quantities describing a volume V of black body radiation at absolute temperature T, are calculated. The problem of the energy fluctuation of a body of emissivity ε in thermodynamic equilibrium with a volume of black body radiation, is considered from a statistical approach. The result var E = kT ²C , known to be correct from thermodynamics, is obtained. The zero point energy difficulty in the mean energy of the radiation is discussed in detail. Arguments are presented supporting the inclusion of the zero point energy in the thermal radiation theory. The problem of the number of distinguishable levels that can be obtained from a certain signal power in a resonator is discussed in this section. Finally the results of the theory above are employed to determine the ultimate sensitivity of radiation detectors. Care is taken to isolate factors which are not fundamental properties of the detector, from the treatment of the detector sensitivity. A bolometer and a phototube, energy and quantum detectors respectively, are discussed in detail.

description: The volume fluctuations in the steady state reached by a vibrated granular gas of hard particles confined by a movable piston on the top are investigated by means of event driven simulations. Also, a compressibility factor, measuring the response in volume of the system to a change in the mass of the piston, is introduced and measured. From the second moment of the volume fluctuations and the compressibility factor, an effective temperature is defined, by using the same relation as obeyed by equilibrium molecular systems. The interpretation of this effective temperature and its relationship with the granular temperature of the gas, and also with the velocity fluctuations of the movable piston, is discussed. It is found that the ratio of the temperature based on the volume fluctuations to the temperature based on the piston kinetic energy, obeys simple dependencies on the inelasticity and on the piston-particle mass ratio.

description: Mesenchymal stem cells derived from Wharton’s jelly (WJ-MSCs) recently emerged as promising tools for cellular therapy due to their ability to differentiate into diverse cell types and their immunomodulatory features. Little is known on the expression of immunomodulatory molecules in mature cells differentiated from WJ-MSCs, therefore we aimed to characterize the extent of maintenance of the naive traits of these cells also in a highly specialized differentiated counterpart. WJ-MSCs were differentiated into hepatocyte-like cells (HLCs) with a four weeks protocol. RT-PCR, flow cytometry, IHC and ICC were performed to assess expression of key markers in both undifferentiated and differentiated cells. Hepatocyte specific assays such as PAS staining, CYP3A4 induction and activity, G6Pase activity, were performed to demonstrate the acquisition of traits of the mature hepatocyte phenotype. WJ-MSCs were successfully differentiated into HLCs using a multi-step protocol. These cells were able to store glycogen, incorporate specific live cells stains, perform enzymatic reactions and metabolic activities which are usually featured by mature hepatocytes. In addition, WJ-MSCs did express several immune-related molecules, for which an immunomodulatory role has been demonstrated both in vitro and in vivo. We demonstrated for the first time that key molecules as HLA-E and B7-H3 are expressed also by HLCs derived from WJ-MSCs. Our data showed for the first time that HLCs mostly maintain the expression of immune-modulating molecules, together with new markers and functional features of mature cells. In multiple pathologic conditions the intrinsic immunomodulatory ability of differentiated cells may help survive the interaction with the host immune system, even in the absence of a specific immunosuppressive therapy. This, together with the acquisition of key mature hepatocyte functions, may render WJ-MSCs promising in cell therapy applications for liver diseases.

description: Heart valve substitution, based on biosynthetic or mechanical prosthesis replacement, is one of the most frequent surgical approach to treat heart valve diseases. Even if the prosthesis implantation gives a good life quality for patients, there are many long-term disadvantages related to the substitution, such as structural deterioration, non-structural dysfunction and re-intervention. The heart valve tissue engineering (HVTE), a novel branch of regenerative medicine, is developing innovative models and testing new methods to overcome the above reported limitations. In the present study, we investigated the possibility to reendothelize a porcine heart valve scaffold, previously decellularized, by using two cell types: Wharton’s Jelly mesenchymal stem cells (WJ-MSC) and human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVEC), the last used as control cells for the reendothelialization process. Both cell types showed, by fluorescence microscopy, that they were able to reconstitute a valid and functional monolayer of neo-endothelium, characterized by the surface expression of typical endothelial markers (i.e. CD144 and CD146). All together, these data suggest that both HUVEC and WJ-MSC are suitable for in vitro autologous endothelium regeneration, opening new perspectives in the field of HVTE.

description: Dendritic cells (DCs) are a subset of leukocytes highly specialized in antigen-presentation to T cells, thus promoting the immune response. DCs occur in the meninges and choroid plexus. Brain DCs and brain-derived antigens are drained by cerebrospinal fluid in the afferent lymphatic vessels of cervical lymph nodes (cLNs) for antigen presentation. Information on the role of DCs in intracerebral immune response is still limited. We recently demonstrated (Laperchia et al., 2013) that in thy1GFP-M transgenic mice, engineered for the expression of green fluorescent protein (GFP) in a proportion of neurons, also myeloid DCs are GFP-tagged. Our in vivo analysis by two-photon microscopy on young (3-6 months) thy1GFP-M mice showed DCs floating in the cerebrospinal fluid or static at the pia mater/parenchyma interface. We are using this animal model to study brain DCs trafficking by two-photon microscopy in two different inflammatory conditions. The first concerns chronic encephalitis caused by the extracellular parasite Trypanosoma brucei. During the first, hemolymphatic stage of this infection, direct interactions between DCs and parasites were seen within meningeal and cortical microvessels. In the second stage, determined by parasite neuroinvasion, DCs invaded the brain parenchyma, exhibiting a random motion for target antigen recognition. With disease progression, intraparenchymal brain DCs were instead mainly arranged in static clusters which incorporated parasites for efficient antigen capture, and extravasated cytotoxic CD8+ T cells established contact with parasites. Ex vivo analysis on cLNs shown that the subcapsular zone was invaded by migratory DCs, and both migratory and resident DCs preferentially contacted CD8+ T cells. The second condition concerns normal aging (18-20 month old mice), which is known to be associated with low-grade chronic inflammation level and with functional impairments of the immune system, also known as immunosenescence. In these mice we observed that DCs infiltrate the brain parenchyma by transmigration from blood vessels and exhibit a motile behavior suggesting a scanning motion. Moreover, some DCs showed a progressive reduction of their motility until convergence, in about 30 minutes, into clusters whose functional significant has yet to be elucidated. Taken together, our studies enlightens key events of the intracerebral immune response both in presence of pathogens and in physiological aging.

description: The microstructure of coagulated colloidal particles, for which the inter-particle potential is described by the DLVO theory, is strongly influenced by the particles' surface potential. Depending on its value, the resulting microstructures are either more "homogeneous" or more "heterogeneous", at equal volume fractions. An adequate quantification of a structure's degree of heterogeneity (DOH) however does not yet exist. In this work, methods to quantify and thus classify the DOH of microstructures are investigated and compared. Three methods are evaluated using particle packings generated by Brownian dynamics simulations: (1) the pore size distribution, (2) the density fluctuation method and (3) the Voronoi volume distribution. Each method provides a scalar measure, either via a parameter in a fit function or an integral, which correlates with the heterogeneity of the microstructure and which thus allows for the first time to quantitatively capture the DOH of a granular material. An analysis of the differences in the density fluctuations between two structures additionally allows for a detailed determination of the length scale on which differences in heterogeneity are most pronounced.
