description: Macrophages are desirable targets for gene therapy of cancer and other diseases. Cationic diblock copolymers of polyethylene glycol (PEG) and poly-L-lysine (PLL) or poly{N-[N-(2-aminoethyl)-2-aminoethyl]aspartamide} (pAsp(DET)) are synthesized and used to form polyplexes with a plasmid DNA (pDNA) that are decorated with mannose moieties, serving as the targeting ligands for the C type lectin receptors displayed at the surface of macrophages. The PEG-b-PLL copolymers are known for its cytotoxicity, so PEG-b-PLL-based polyplexes are cross-linked using reducible reagent dithiobis(succinimidyl propionate) (DSP). The cross-linked polyplexes display low toxicity to both mouse embryonic fibroblasts NIH/3T3 cell line and mouse bone marrow-derived macrophages (BMMΦ). In macrophages mannose-decorated polyplexes demonstrate an ≈8 times higher transfection efficiency. The cross-linking of the polyplexes decrease the toxicity, but the transfection enhancement is moderate. The PEG-b-pAsp(DET) copolymers display low toxicity with respect to the IC-21 murine macrophage cell line and are used for the production of non-cross-linked pDNA-contained polyplexes. The obtained mannose modified polyplexes exhibit ca. 500-times greater transfection activity in IC-21 macrophages compared to the mannose-free polyplexes. This result greatly exceeds the targeting gene transfer effects previously described using mannose receptor targeted non-viral gene delivery systems. These results suggest that Man-PEG-b-pAsp(DET)/pDNA polyplex is a potential vector for immune cells-based gene therapy.

description: Galactic archaeology has long been limited by a lack of precise masses and ages for metal-poor stars in the Milky Way's thick disk. However, with TESS providing a growing number of photometric observations, it is possible to calculate such physical properties for more solar-like oscillators than ever using asteroseismology. We have used the pySYD pipeline to determine global asteroseismic parameters and calculated the masses and ages of 415 metal-poor ([M/H] < -0.5 dex) red giants in TESS's continuous viewing zones. Our findings contribute to a noticeable trend in metallicity-dependent mass loss on the upper red-giant branch and identify a set of young high-⍺ stars that have been detected in other studies. We also find that 15% of the metal-poor stars appear to be binary merger products. In combination with existing ages from Kepler/K2, these data can be compared to Galactic evolution models to better determine the formation history of the Galaxy.

description: This forum expands and reframes the lens of dementia caregiving research among diverse racial and ethnic groups to better understand the unique needs, stressors, and strengths of multicultural and racial-ethnic family caregivers in the United States. By providing more diverse and inclusive knowledge on caregiving to older adults in the United States, we can create a new path forward with regards to caregiving research. Throughout the article, major questions and answers are supported by critiquing some of the caregiving literature. Discussions are provided to help create inclusive ways of conceptualizing caregiving research and using methodological approaches to reflect the diversity of caregivers and care recipients in the United States. Expanding and reframing the conceptual and methodological lens of diversity, inclusivity and intersectionality can provide evidence to support effective policy, practice, and care in addressing the needs of diverse groups of caregivers and older adults living with dementia.

description: A launching pad, because of its activity, is particularly sensitive to the risk of lightning. The use of Standard IEC62305 "Protection against lightning" establishes the general framework for the Lightning Protection System (LPS). However, the specific activity of a launching pad requires special analysis on specific points of the LPS. Indeed, it is necessary to take into account the lightning conductor system particularity on the one hand, and the launcher electromagnetic susceptibility on the other hand.
This paper presents the general methodology used to define the LPS of a launching pad. The analysis is based upon expertise, numerical simulation and experiments performed at launching pad sites.

description: Embedded pragmatic clinical trials (ePCTs) advance research on Alzheimer's disease/Alzheimer's disease and related dementias (AD/ADRD) in real-world contexts; however, health equity issues have not yet been fully considered, assessed, or integrated into ePCT designs. Health disparity populations may not be well represented in ePCTs without special efforts to identify and successfully recruit sites of care that serve larger numbers of these populations. The National Institute on Aging (NIA) Imbedded Pragmatic Alzheimer's disease (AD) and AD-Related Dementias (AD/ADRD) Clinical Trials (IMPACT) Collaboratory's Health Equity Team will contribute to the overall mission of the collaboratory by developing and implementing strategies to address health equity in the conduct of ePCTs and ensure the collaboratory is a national resource for all Americans with dementia. As a first step toward meeting these goals, this article reviews what is currently known about the inclusion of health disparities populations of people living with dementia (PLWD) and their caregivers in ePCTs, highlights unique challenges related to health equity in the conduct of ePCTs, and suggests priority areas in the design and implementation of ePCTs to increase the awareness and avoidance of pitfalls that may perpetuate and magnify healthcare disparities.

description: Stellar feedback, star formation and gravitational interactions are major controlling forces in the evolution of Giant Molecular Clouds (GMCs). To explore their relative roles, we examine the properties and evolution of GMCs forming in an isolated galactic disk simulation that includes both localised thermal feedback and photoelectric heating. The results are compared with the three previous simulations in this series which consists of a model with no star formation, star formation but no form of feedback and star formation with photoelectric heating in a set with steadily increasing physical effects. We find that the addition of localised thermal feedback greatly suppresses star formation but does not destroy the surrounding GMC, giving cloud properties closely resembling the run in which no stellar physics is included. The outflows from the feedback reduce the mass of the cloud but do not destroy it, allowing the cloud to survive its stellar children. This suggests that weak thermal feedback such as the lower bound expected for supernova may play a relatively minor role in the galactic structure of quiescent Milky Way-type galaxies, compared to gravitational interactions and disk shear.

description: Compared with the semiconductors such as silicon and gallium arsenide which have been used widely for decades, semimetals have not received much attention in the field of condensed matter physics until very recently. The realization of electronic topological properties has motivated interest of investigations on Dirac semimetals and Weyl semimetals, which are predicted to show unprecedented features beyond the classical electronic theories of metals. In this letter for the first time we report the electric transport properties of a robust Weyl semimetal candidate proposed by recent theoretical calculations, TaAs. Our study shows that this bulk material manifests ultrahigh carrier mobility ($\mathrm{5\times10^5 cm^2/V\cdot{s}}$) accompanied by an extremely large, unsaturated linear magnetoresistance ($\mathrm{MR}$), which reaches 5400 at 10 Kelvins in a magnetic field of 9 Teslas and 2.47$\times$10$^4$ at 1.5 Kelvins in a magnetic field of 56 Teslas. We also observed strong Shubnikov-de Haas (SdH) oscillations associated with an extremely low quantum limit ($\sim$8 Teslas). Further studies on TaAs, especially in the ultraquantum limit regime, will help to extend the realization of the topological properties of these exotic electrons.

description: Fe3O4@Silicapropyl@Vanillin/Thiamin nanoparticles were synthesized by a simple immobilization method using cheap and natural materials. The nanocatalyst was analyzed by XRD, FT-IR, FE-SEM, TEM, VSM and TGA techniques and was applied as a new, effective and magnetically recoverable solid acid for the synthesis of azo-linked benzo[d]imidazoles or bis benzo[d]imidazoles via the reaction of corresponding aldehydes and 1,2-diaminobenzene in water as green solvent. At the end of reaction, the catalyst could be separated by filtration of mixture in the presence of an external magnet and recycled for 7 consecutive runs, without significant decrease in efficiency. This avenue for the synthesis of benzo[d]imidazoles has advantages such as simplicity in operation, and green aspect by avoiding toxic conventional catalysts and solvents.

description: Introduction: Alzheimer’s disease and related dementias (ADRD) disproportionately impact racial
and ethnic minority and socioeconomically disadvantaged adults. Yet, these populations are significantly
underrepresented in research.
Methods: We systematically reviewed the literature for published reports describing recruitment and
retention of individuals from underrepresented backgrounds in ADRD research or underrepresented
participants’ perspectives regarding ADRD research participation. Relevant evidence was synthesized
and evaluated for quality.
Results: We identified 22 eligible studies. Seven studies focused on recruitment/retention approaches,
all of which included multifaceted efforts and at least one community outreach component.
There was considerable heterogeneity in approaches used, specific activities and strategies, outcome
measurement, and conclusions regarding effectiveness. Despite limited use of prospective evaluation
strategies, most authors reported improvements in diverse representation in ADRD cohorts. Studies
evaluating participant views focused largely on predetermined explanations of participation
including attitudes, barriers/facilitators, education, trust, and religiosity. Across all studies, the
strength of evidence was low.
Discussion: Overall, the quantity and quality of available evidence to inform best practices in recruitment,
retention, and inclusion of underrepresented populations in ADRD research are low. Further
efforts to systematically evaluate the success of existing and emergent approaches will require
improved methodological standards and uniform measures for evaluating recruitment, participation,
and inclusivity.

title: Crafting Resilience: Cultural Heritage and Community Engagement in Post-Industrial Textile Communities.
Creators: name: Wellesley-Smith, Claire Elizabeth
Publisher: name: The Open University
Year: 2023

description: This thesis discusses how engagements with cultural heritage through slow, localised craft practices construct and articulate collective identity and build resilience. Based in former areas of industrial textile production, it is a multi-site ethnographic study of two community-based long-term arts and heritage projects in Church, near Accrington, East Lancashire and Bradford, West Yorkshire. The projects explored specific aspects of textile heritage: printing and dyeing, and recycling and repair practices. The longitudinal nature of the research into processes including growing, making, unmaking, and remaking allows for consideration of how outcomes are embedded in projects like this. The locations of projects offer opportunities to consider the present lived experiences of post-industrial textile communities through their multi-layered heritage. The final fieldwork for the project was completed during the first UK Covid lockdown and offers valuable insight into the spatiality of projects like these and what happens when site-specific context is taken away. It is written through the lens of a practitioner-researcher whose many years of practice is based in the development and delivery of socially engaged arts projects. Multiple methods were employed over a period of years including participant observation during textile making and gardening workshops, semi-structured interviews with individuals and groups, photography and a reflective daily stitching ‘thinking through making’ (Ingold, 2011; Ravetz, 2013) practice of the researcher. This thesis argues that socially engaged arts practices used in heritage engagements can transform participants’ lives in a number of ways. These include allowing them to participate meaningfully in the co-production of knowledge through slow craft making and storytelling and the revoicing and ownership of personal and community heritage narratives. It offers insights into the challenges and multiplicities of researcher-practitioner experience, the value of projects that take place over considerable periods of time and that use dialogic approaches to heritage and site (Harrison, 2013).

description: Two kinds of electroconvection (EC) patterns in an ether-bridged bent-core nematic liquid crystal material (BCN), which appear in different frequency ranges, are examined and compared in this paper. One is a longitudinal pattern with the stripes parallel to the orientation of the BCN and with a periodicity of approximately the cell thickness, occurring in the high frequency range of several hundreds Hz; the other one is oblique stripes, which results in a zig-zag pattern, and appears in the low frequency range of several tens Hz. In addition, within an intermediate frequency range, transformations from oblique to longitudinal and then to normal stripes occur at increased ac voltages. In particular, we investigated the temperature behavior of longitudinal and oblique stripes: when the temperature T increases and approaches the clearing temperature Tc, the contrast of the domains is enhanced and the frequency range of existence becomes wider, while the onset voltages increase only moderately instead of diverging, thus suggesting an isotropic mechanism of pattern formation.

description: We provide a theoretical analysis for the intermediate scattering function typically measured in depolarized dynamic light scattering experiments. We calculate the field autocorrelation function $g_1^{\rm VH}(Q,t)$ in dependence on the wave vector $Q$ and the time $t$ explicitly in a vertical-horizontal scattering geometry for differently shaped solids of revolution. The shape of prolate cylinders, spherocylinders, spindles, and double cones with variable aspect ratio is expanded in rotational invariants $f_{lm}(r)$. By Fourier transform of these expansion coefficients, a formal multipole expansion of the scattering function is obtained, which is used to calculate the weighting coefficients appearing in the depolarized scattering function. In addition to translational and rotational diffusion, especially the translational-rotational coupling of shape-anisotropic objects is considered. From the short-time behavior of the intermediate scattering function, the first cumulants $Γ(Q)$ are calculated. In a depolarized scattering experiment, they deviate from the simple proportionality to $Q^2$. The coefficients $f_{lm}(Q)$ strongly depend on the geometry and aspect ratio of the particles. The time dependence, in addition, is governed by the translational and rotational diffusion tensors, which are calculated by means of bead models for differently shaped particles in dependence on their aspect ratio. Therefore, our analysis shows how details of the particle shape---beyond their aspect ratio---can be determined by a precise scattering experiment. This is of high relevance in understanding smart materials which involve suspensions of anisotropic colloidal particles.

description: Alzheimer's disease and related dementias (ADRDs) are a global crisis facing the aging population and society as a whole. With the numbers of people with ADRDs predicted to rise dramatically across the world, the scientific community can no longer neglect the need for research focusing on ADRDs among underrepresented ethnoracial diverse groups. The Alzheimer's Association International Society to Advance Alzheimer's Research and Treatment (ISTAART; alz.org/ISTAART) comprises a number of professional interest areas (PIAs), each focusing on a major scientific area associated with ADRDs. We leverage the expertise of the existing international cadre of ISTAART scientists and experts to synthesize a cross-PIA white paper that provides both a concise “state-of-the-science” report of ethnoracial factors across PIA foci and updated recommendations to address immediate needs to advance ADRD science across ethnoracial populations.

description: The pulsar wind nebula (PWN) associated with the Vela pulsar is a bright source in the radio, X-ray and gamma-ray bands, but not in the optical. This source is very near, lying at a distance of 290 pc, as inferred from the radio and optical parallax measurements of the pulsar. Knowledge of the brightness and structure of the Vela PWN in optical is important in order to constrain the underlying particle spectrum (and possibly the B-field properties and particle losses) associated with this extended source. We use results from the Digital Sky Survey, as well as results obtained using the SAAO 1.0 m telescope equipped with an imaging CCD (STE4) and BV filters, in an attempt to measure optical radiation from Vela X. To enlarge our field of view, we constructed a mosaic consisting of 3 x 3 frames around the pulsar position. We present spectral measurements from the High Energy Stereoscopic System (H.E.S.S.), Fermi Large Area Telescope (LAT), ASCA, Hubble Space Telescope (HST), Very Large Telescope (VLT), New Technology Telescope (NTT), and Wilkinson Microwave Anisotropy Probe (WMAP), in addition to our optical results. Using these data, we investigate whether or not the radio synchrotron component can be smoothly extrapolated to the optical band. This would constrain the electron population to consist of either a single or multiple components, representing a significant advancement in our understanding of this complex multiwavelength source.

description: Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to review and synthesize the research literature on the quality
of life (QoL) of both caregivers (CGs) and care recipients (CRs) with dementia after admission to long-term
care facilities.
Design/methodology/approach – Four databases – AgeLine, Medline, EBSCO, and PyscINFO – were
searched and the relevant literature from 2002 onwards was reviewed.
Findings – The review of 12 studies (five studies, including only family CGs; six studies including residents; one
study including both family CGs and CRs) reveals a discrepancy regarding the effects of institutionalization on the
CRs’ and CGs’ QoL. Among seven studies on CRs’ QoL change, some reviewed studies found a significant
decline in CRs’ QoL after placement with others showing that CRs’ QoL was improved or stable. While some
reports indicated that some family CGs benefited from placement, others showed that CGs merely maintained
their QoL. However, family CGs in the reviewed studies were more likely to report improved QoL than were their
CRs after institutionalization.
Research limitations/implications – The authors recommend that future studies should focus on
understanding the individual’s adaptation to placement, dyadic changes in QoL (includingmediators/moderators).
They emphasize the need for a comprehensive longitudinal study with more than one wave and includes diverse
groups including racial/ethnic minority CGs and CRs.
Originality/value – This study reviewed and synthesized the research literature on the QoL of both caregiver
and the people with dementia they cared for after those they cared for were admitted to long-term care
facilities. The conclusions drawn about influences on QoL provide guidance for identifying best practices
and research.

description: This three-year research project began in January 2014 and investigated whether, during the Victorian period, the professions formed a distinct self-sustaining social group with its own mores and values. The project looked at 16,000 individuals drawn from census data for Alnwick, Brighton, Bristol, Dundee, Greenock, Leeds, Merthyr Tydfil, Morpeth, and Winchester. The research project was funded by the UK Economic & Social Research Council and was based at the Universities of Oxford and Northumbria.

description: Purpose: The goal of this study was to explore predictors of discrepancy between reports of caregivers (CGs) and care
recipients (CRs) with mild-to-moderate dementia about CRs’ quality of life (QOL). Design and Methods: This study was a
secondary analysis of cross-sectional data drawn from a study of 200 care dyads of CRs with mild-to-moderate dementia and their
primary family CGs. Paired t test, ordinary least squares multiple regression, and binary logistic regression were used for the
analyses. Results: Caregivers rated CRs’ QOL significantly lower (worse) than CRs did. Ordinary least square regression results
showed that greater incongruence in perceptions of CRs’ decision-making involvement (DMI) and higher level of CR impairment
in activities of daily living were significantly related to higher absolute discrepancy between CG and CR about CRs’ QOL. In the
logistic models, when the dyad had more DMI incongruence, or CG reported higher relationship strain, the CG was more likely to
report a lower CR QOL than CR reported. Implications: Practitioners should consider incorporating CRs’ perspective when
planning care instead of solely depending on CGs’ perspective. Also, practitioners should pay attention to any gap between
perceptions of CGs and CRs, particularly with regard to CRs’ QOL.

description: Purpose of the Study: This dyadic study investigated incongruence in care recipients’ (CRs’) and caregivers’ (CGs’) perceptions
of (a) CRs’ involvement in decision making and (b) how much CRs value social relations as predictors of subjective
quality of life (QOL) of CRs with mild-to-moderate dementia and their primary family CGs.
Design and Methods: A secondary analysis of cross-sectional, dyadic data from in-person interviews with 205 CRs with
mild-to-moderate dementia and their primary family CGs Incongruence was operationalized in two ways: absolute difference
and direction of difference. Paired t tests and multilevel modeling were used to analyze differences.
Results: CGs reported CRs were significantly less involved in decision making and valued social relations significantly less
than CRs. Greater incongruence on CRs’ values significantly predicted lower QOL of CG and CR. When CGs reported
that CRs valued social relationships less than the CR himself/herself reported, CGs’ and CRs’ QOL was significantly lower
compared with QOL for dyads where there was no incongruence on CRs’ values. Incongruent perceptions of CRs’ involvement
in decisions were not a significant predictor of QOL.
Implications: This study provides evidence for the importance of assessing both CRs’ and CGs’ QOL, as well as incongruence
in their perceptions in domains that may affect both of their QOL.

description: Race. ethnicity. and cultural attitudes and practices are among the variables that influence health behaviors. including adaptive health behaviors. The following discussions highlight the important role of social conditions in shaping health behaviors and the central role of family in promoting health across the Asian, Hispanic. Native American, and African American ethnic groups. Factors that may lead to health-damaging behaviors are also discussed. The need for additional research that identifies correlations among physiological, social. and behavioral factors and health behaviors, as well as underlying mechanisms, is called for.
