description: This article focuses on selected indicators related to sports and dietary behaviour – two important factors that influence the development of obesity. The analyses are based on data collected for the second wave of the German Health Interview and Examination Survey for Children and Adolescents (KiGGS Wave 2), which was conducted between 2014 and 2017. These data were collected, using a questionnaire, from 6,810 girls and 6,758 boys aged between 3 and 17. The analyses also compare the data collected for wave 2 with those from the KiGGS baseline study (2003-2006). More than 70% of 3- to 17-year-olds state that they participated in sports. However, boys do so significantly more often than girls, and 11- to 17-year-olds do so more frequently than 3- to 10-year-olds. In addition, there is a correlation between children’s and adolescents’ sports participation and those of their parents, and with an activity-friendly living environment. Younger children and girls have healthier diets than older children and boys. However, although the consumption of confectionery and sugary drinks by 3- to 17-year-olds has declined significantly since the KiGGS baseline study was conducted, 11- to 17-year-olds, in particular, eat significantly smaller amounts of vegetables than they did about ten years ago. Significantly more 3- to 10-year-olds currently eat at least five servings of fruit and vegetables per day than ten years ago, although the proportion of the children who reach this recommendation continues to remain very low at 14% overall. It is important to set an example by following a healthy lifestyle within families and other settings in early life. Furthermore, the living environments also need to be made more health-oriented to support children and adolescents in reaching the national recommendations on physical activity and healthy eating.

description: Benassi, in un’accidentale osservazione affidata alla malinconica rievocazione dell’ultima tournée americana della Duse, osserva che l’eco della voce degli attori “si trova sempre più lontana in quella degli allievi, sino a spegnersi”. Il saggio cerca di rintracciare i riverberi di questo eco che dalla grande attrice italiana passa da Memo Benassi per spegnersi in Glauco Mauri. Una filiazione che permette di seguire il filo sottile della trasmissione dei saperi delle pratiche attoriali del passato. Un’occasione per esaminare le modalità attraverso cui un allievo e un maestro si riconoscevano tali in un sistema dove le forme pedagogiche erano interamente inscritte nel sistema produttivo delle compagnie di giro.
description: Benassi, in an incidental observation entrusted to the melancholic evocation of Duse's last American tour, observes that the echo of the actors' voice 'is found farther and farther away in that of the disciples, until it is extinguished'. The essay attempts to trace the reverberations of this echo that from the great Italian actress passes through Memo Benassi to extinguish in Glauco Mauri. A filiation that allows us to follow the thin thread of the transmission of knowledge of past acting practices. An opportunity to examine the ways in which a disciple and a master recognized themselves as such in a system where the pedagogical forms were entirely inscribed in the production system of the tour companies.

description: Tabak- und Alkoholkonsum zählen zu den führenden vermeidbaren Risikofaktoren für eine Vielzahl von Krankheiten mit langfristigen Effekten, auch auf die vorzeitige Sterblichkeit. In Deutschland ist der Tabak- und Alkoholkonsum unter Erwachsenen trotz abnehmender Tendenz verbreitet. Da in der Jugendphase die Weichen für das Gesundheitsverhalten im späteren Leben gestellt werden und bekannt ist, dass für Heranwachsende ein früher Einstieg einen späteren regelmäßigen Konsum von Alkohol und Tabak fördert, ist es ein gesundheitspolitisches Ziel, dass Jugendliche möglichst nicht rauchen und zu einem erantwortungsbewussten und risikoarmen Umgang mit Alkohol befähigt werden. Der vorliegende Beitrag untersucht den Tabak- und Alkoholkonsum von Kindern und Jugendlichen (11 bis 17 Jahre) und beschreibt neben Prävalenzen auch zeitliche Entwicklungen und Korrelate des Konsumverhaltens. Datenbasis ist die zweite Folgebefragung der Studie zur Gesundheit von Kindern und Jugendlichen in Deutschland (KiGGS Welle 2). Die Ergebnisse zeigen, dass 7,2 % der 11- bis 17-jährigen Kinder und Jugendlichen zumindest gelegentlich rauchen. Darin eingeschlossen sind 3,7 %, die täglich rauchen. Gut die Hälfte (51,0 %) der 11- bis 17-Jährigen hat schon einmal Alkohol getrunken, ein riskanter Alkoholkonsum ist für 12,1 % festzustellen, regelmäßiges Rauschtrinken berichten 7,0 %. Mit dem Alter nimmt der Konsum von Tabak und Alkohol deutlich zu. Beim riskanten Alkoholkonsum und beim Rauschtrinken zeigen sich schlechterassoziierte Unterschiede: Mehr Mädchen als Jungen konsumieren alkoholische Getränke in riskantem Maß, aber mehr Jungen als Mädchen praktizieren Rauschtrinken. Im Zeitverlauf zeigt sich anhand der bisherigen KiGGS-Erhebungswellen ein sehr deutlicher Rückgang beim Tabakkonsum (KiGGS-Basiserhebung 21,4 %, KiGGS Welle 1 12,4 %). Ebenfalls rückläufig ist der Anteil der 11- bis 17-Jährigen, die jemals Alkohol getrunken haben (KiGGS-Basiserhebung 63,9 %, KiGGS Welle 1 55,6 %). Auch der riskante Alkoholkonsum (KiGGS Welle 1 16,5 %) und das regelmäßige Rauschtrinken (KiGGS Welle 1 12,0 %) gingen zurück. Die hier dargestellten Ergebnisse stehen im Einklang mit den Befunden aus anderen Studien, die den Tabak- und Alkoholkonsum von Jugendlichen in Deutschland erheben. Sie deuten auf Erfolge von Präventionsmaßnahmen hin.

description: A large amount of data on the WWW remains inaccessible to crawlers of Web search engines because it can only be exposed on demand as users fill out and submit forms. The Hidden web refers to the collection of Web data which can be accessed by the crawler only through an interaction with the Web-based search form and not simply by traversing hyperlinks. Research on Hidden Web has emerged almost a decade ago with the main line being exploring ways to access the content in online databases that are usually hidden behind search forms. The efforts in the area mainly focus on designing hidden Web crawlers that focus on learning forms and filling them with meaningful values. The paper gives an insight into the various Hidden Web crawlers developed for the purpose giving a mention to the advantages and shortcoming of the techniques employed in each.

description: Repeated cocaine administration increases the dendritic arborization of nucleus accumbens neurons, but the underlying signaling events remain unknown. Here, we show that repeated cocaine negatively regulates the active form of Rac1, a small GTPase that controls actin remodeling in other systems. We show further, using viral-mediated gene transfer, that overexpression of a dominant negative mutant of Rac1, or local knockout of Rac1 from floxed Rac1 mice, is sufficient to increase the density of immature dendritic spines on nucleus accumbens neurons, whereas overexpression of a constitutively active Rac1 mutant, or light activation of a photoactivatible form of Rac1, blocks the ability of repeated cocaine to produce this effect. Downregulation of Rac1 activity in nucleus accumbens likewise promotes behavioral responses to cocaine, with Rac1 activation producing the opposite effect. These findings establish an important role for Rac1 signaling in mediating structural and behavioral plasticity to cocaine.

description: Low-mass stars are generally understood to form by the gravitational collapse of the dense molecular clouds known as starless cores. Continuum observations have not been able to distinguish among the several different hypotheses that describe the collapse because the predicted density distributions are the almost the same, as they are for all spherical self-gravitating clouds. However, the predicted contraction velocities are different enough that the models can be discriminated by comparing the velocities at large and small radii. This can be done by observing at least two different molecular line transitions that are excited at different densities. For example, the spectral lines of the H2O (110 - 101) and C18O (1-0) have critical densities for collisional de-excitation that differ by 5 orders of magnitude. We compare observations of these lines from the contracting starless core L1544 against the spectra predicted for several different hypothetical models of contraction including the Larson-Penston flow, the inside-out collapse of the singular isothermal sphere, the quasi-equilibrium contraction of an unstable Bonnor-Ebert sphere, and the non-equilibrium collapse of an over-dense Bonnor-Ebert sphere. Only the model of the unstable quasi-equilibrium Bonnor-Ebert sphere is able to produce the observed shapes of both spectral lines. This model allows us to interpret other observations of molecular lines in L1544 to find that the inward velocities seen in observations of CS(2-1) and N2H+ are located within the starless core itself, in particular in the region where the density profile follows an inverse square law. If these conclusions were to hold in the analysis of other starless cores, this would imply that the formation of hydrostatic clouds within the turbulent interstellar medium is not only possible but not exceptional and may be an evolutionary phase in low-mass star formation.

description: The construction of cerebral cortex begins with the formation of radial glia. Once formed, polarized radial glial cells divide either symmetrically or asymmetrically to balance appropriate production of progenitor cells and neurons. Upon birth, neurons use the processes of radial glia as scaffolding for oriented migration. Radial glia thus provide an instructive structural matrix to coordinate the generation and placement of distinct groups of cortical neurons in the developing cerebral cortex. Here we show that Arl13b, a cilia-specific small GTPase mutated in Joubert syndrome patients, is critical for the initial formation of the polarized radial progenitor scaffold. Through developmental stage-specific deletion of Arl13b in mouse cortical progenitors, we found that early neuroepithelial deletion of ciliary Arl13b leads to a reversal in the apical-basal polarity of radial progenitors and aberrant neuronal placement. Arl13b modulates ciliary signaling necessary for radial glial polarity. Our findings demonstrate that Arl13b signaling in primary cilia is important for the initial formation of a polarized radial glial scaffold and suggest that disruption of this process may contribute to aberrant neurodevelopment and brain abnormalities in Joubert syndrome-related ciliopathies.

description: Using immunohistology, electron microscopy, electrophysiology and optogenetics, we show that proliferating adult hippocampal neural precursors receive immature GABAergic synaptic inputs from parvalbumin-expressing interneurons. Recently shown to suppress quiescent neural stem cell activation, parvalbumin interneuron activation promotes newborn neuronal progeny survival and development. Our study suggests a niche mechanism involving parvalbumin interneurons that couples local circuit activity to diametric regulation of two critical initial phases of adult hippocampal neurogenesis.

description: This study examines the inter- and intra-site assemblage variability of lithics excavated from six late prehistoric sites in leeward West Moloka’i, Hawaii. Both religious and domestic sites are represented including fishing shrines (ko’a) and a high-status house site. A comprehensive technological approach was employed integrating usewear, typology and individual flake attribute analysis to identify production and consumption behaviours. Expedient tool manufacture and use was identified at most sites including the use of amorphous cores for flake tool production. Of particular significance was the identification of late stage, small-scale adze manufacture within an attached shrine enclosure of a high status house site. The proximity of the debitage to the religious feature is evidence of ritual production. Small-scale adze production in such settings may have enabled individuals and/or households to gain status and wealth through ritual performance and the production of prestige goods. This has implications for the study of the organisation of adze production and craft specialisation and suggests that ritual production is not necessarily an indicator of chiefly control.

NPY signaling inhibits extended amygdala CRF neurons to suppress binge alcohol drinking
Creators: name: Kash, Thomas L
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2015

description: Binge alcohol drinking is a tremendous public health problem because it leads to the development of numerous pathologies including alcohol abuse, and anxiety1–4. It is thought to do so by hijacking brain systems that regulate stress and reward, including neuropeptide Y (NPY) and corticotropin–releasing factor (CRF). The central actions of NPY and CRF play opposing functional roles in the regulation of emotional and reward–seeking behaviors; therefore, dysfunctional interactions between these peptidergic systems could play a role in the development of these pathologies. Here, we used converging physiological, pharmacological, and chemogenetic approaches to identify a precise neural mechanism in the bed nucleus of the stria terminalis (BNST), a limbic brain region involved in pathological reward and anxiety behaviors, underlying the interactions between NPY and CRF in the regulation of binge alcohol drinking in both mice and monkeys. We found that NPY Y1 receptor (Y1R) activation in the BNST suppressed binge alcohol drinking by enhancing inhibitory synaptic transmission specifically in CRF neurons via a novel, Gi-mediated, PKA-dependent postsynaptic mechanism. Further, chronic alcohol drinking led to persistent alterations in Y1R function in the BNST of both mice and monkeys, highlighting the enduring, conserved nature of this effect across mammalian species. Together, these data provide both a cellular locus and signaling framework for the development of novel therapeutics for treatment of neuropsychiatric diseases, including alcohol use disorders.

description: Psychiatric and neurodevelopmental disorders may arise from anomalies in long-range neuronal connectivity downstream of pathologies in dendritic spines. However, the mechanisms that may link spine pathology to circuit abnormalities relevant to atypical behavior remain unknown. Using a mouse model to conditionally disrupt a critical regulator of the dendritic spine cytoskeleton, Arp2/3, we report here a molecular mechanism that unexpectedly reveals the interrelationship of progressive spine pruning, elevated frontal cortical excitation of pyramidal neurons, and striatal hyperdopaminergia within a cortical-to-midbrain circuit abnormality. The main symptomatic manifestations of this circuit abnormality are psychomotor agitation and stereotypical behaviors, which are relieved by antipsychotics. Moreover, antipsychotic-responsive locomotion can be directly mimicked in wildtype mice by optogenetic activation of this circuit. Collectively these results reveal molecular and neural-circuit mechanisms, illustrating how diverse pathologies may converge to drive behaviors relevant to psychiatric disorders.
Approximate Stokes Drift Profiles in Deep Water

description: A deep-water approximation to the Stokes drift velocity profile is explored as an alternative to the monochromatic profile. The alternative profile investigated relies on the same two quantities required for the monochromatic profile, viz the Stokes transport and the surface Stokes drift velocity. Comparisons with parametric spectra and profiles under wave spectra from the ERA-Interim reanalysis and buoy observations reveal much better agreement than the monochromatic profile even for complex sea states. That the profile gives a closer match and a more correct shear has implications for ocean circulation models since the Coriolis-Stokes force depends on the magnitude and direction of the Stokes drift profile and Langmuir turbulence parameterizations depend sensitively on the shear of the profile. The alternative profile comes at no added numerical cost compared to the monochromatic profile.

Reliability and Accuracy of a Newly Developed Intraoral Ultrasound Device to Evaluate the Facial Alveolar Bone Height
Creators: Corbea, Claudiu
Publisher: name: University of Alberta Library
Year: 2022

Introduction: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the reliability and accuracy of a newly developed intraoral ultrasound (US) device to evaluate the facial alveolar bone height.

Methods: 38 cadaver teeth distributed across 3 human cadavers were prepared by having placed two or more notches on the facial enamel surface. The maxillary and mandibular teeth were imaged with a custom designed intra-oral 20 MHz ultrasound probe. This custom designed US is small and is specifically designed for intra-oral use, as currently available medical US probes are bulky and are unsuited to be used intra-orally. After the US scans were done, the maxilla and mandibles were sectioned from the cadavers and scanned with Micro-CT (µCT) (gold standard). For each sample, the distance from the inferior border of the most apical notch to the tip of the alveolar bone crest on the facial aspect of the teeth was measured from the US and µCT images.  ITK-Snap was used to orient and measure the µCT images and RadiANT was used to measure the US images.

Results: The intra examiner and inter examiner reliability for both the µCT and US alveolar bone crest measurements was found to be excellent (intra examiner ICC is 0.998 for µCT and 0.997 for US, inter examiner ICC is 0.996 for µCT and in between 0.947 and 0.950 for US). The accuracy of the US was found to be good compared to µCT (ICC in between 0.885 and 0.894).

Conclusion: Using the ultrasound device to evaluate the facial alveolar bone height has excellent reliability and good accuracy compared to the µCT gold standard.

description: Asymmetric gemini surfactants were synthesized by the quaternization reaction of 1-(2-hydroxypropyl)-4-ethyl piperazine with (C9, C10, C12, and C14) alkyl bromides. The surface tension of their aqueous solutions was determined by the Du Nouy ring method and the conductometric method of specific electrical conductivity. According to the concentration dependence graphs of surface tension and specific electrical conductivity, critical micelle concentration – CMC, degree of association of the counterion – β, surface area occupied by the head group of the surfactant – Amin, maximum surface excess concentration – Γmax, effectiveness or surface pressure –πCMC, adsorption efficiency – pC20 were calculated, and the change of these parameters depending on the length of the alkyl chain was determined. Simultaneously, variations in Gibbs free energies of micellization and adsorption processes were computed. The diameters of aggregates formed by asymmetric gemini surfactants in water were determined by the DLS method. Antimicrobial abilities of asymmetric gemini surfactants against gram positive and gram negative bacteria and fungi were defined by the disk diffusion method.

description: Recent research on disparate psychiatric disorders has implicated rare variants in genes involved in global gene regulation and chromatin modification, as well as many common variants located primarily in regulatory regions of the genome. Understanding precisely how these variants contribute to disease will require a deeper appreciation for the mechanisms of gene regulation in the developing and adult human brain. The PsychENCODE project aims to produce a public resource of multidimensional genomic data using tissue- and cell type–specific samples from approximately 1,000 phenotypically well-characterized, high-quality healthy and disease-affected human post-mortem brains, as well as functionally characterize disease-associated regulatory elements and variants in model systems. We are beginning with a focus on autism spectrum disorder, bipolar disorder and schizophrenia, and expect that this knowledge will apply to a wide variety of psychiatric disorders. This paper outlines the motivation and design of PsychENCODE.

description: A Reforma do Estado Burocrático para o Estado Moderno teve como objetivo central a desburocratização. Nesse contexto, surgiu a prática da terceirização das atividades-meio como uma estratégia para que o Estado pudesse concentrar seus esforços nas funções principais. No entanto, é fundamental que as atividades terceirizadas sejam fiscalizadas pelo ente público, especialmente aquelas que envolvem serviços contínuos com dedicação exclusiva de mão de obra, em que o ente público assume responsabilidade subsidiária. Para garantir a eficiência e a supremacia do interesse público nesse cenário, a figura dos fiscais, tanto técnicos quanto administrativos, desempenha um papel crucial. Nesse contexto, o presente estudo propõe melhorias nos manuais de fiscalização disponíveis nos websites das universidades federais de Minas Gerais. Foram avaliados 21 requisitos específicos, registrando-se o número de requisitos atendidos por cada universidade. A metodologia adotada consistiu em pesquisa documental com análise qualitativa. Os resultados revelaram uma variação significativa na quantidade de requisitos atendidos pelas diferentes universidades. Os requisitos mais atendidos referem-se às orientações sobre a atuação do fiscal e à disponibilização de manuais e guias. Por outro lado, os requisitos relacionados aos procedimentos de fiscalização preventiva, rotineira e sistemática foram os menos atendidos. Como resultado da análise, foram propostas seis melhorias para os manuais de fiscalização. Essa análise pode ser útil para identificar áreas que necessitam de aprimoramento na fiscalização de contratos e ressalta a importância de estabelecer padrões claros e objetivos para garantir transparência e efetividade nesse processo.

description: Gravitational waves (GWs) emitted by generic black-hole binaries show a rich structure that directly reflects the complex dynamics introduced by the precession of the orbital plane, which poses a real challenge to the development of generic waveform models. Recent progress in modelling these signals relies on an approximate decoupling between the non-precessing secular inspiral and a precession-induced rotation. However, the latter depends in general on all physical parameters of the binary which makes modelling efforts as well as understanding parameter-estimation prospects prohibitively complex. Here we show that the dominant precession effects can be captured by a reduced set of spin parameters. Specifically, we introduce a single \emph{effective precession spin} parameter, $χ_p$, which is defined from the spin components that lie in the orbital plane at some (arbitrary) instant during the inspiral. We test the efficacy of this parameter by considering binary inspiral configurations specified by the physical parameters of a corresponding non-precessing-binary configuration (total mass, mass ratio, and spin components (anti-)parallel to the orbital angular momentum), plus the effective precession spin applied to the larger black hole. We show that for an overwhelming majority of random precessing configurations, the precession dynamics during the inspiral are well approximated by our equivalent configurations. Our results suggest that in the comparable-mass regime waveform models with only three spin parameters faithfully represent generic waveforms, which has practical implications for the prospects of GW searches, parameter estimation and the numerical exploration of the precessing-binary parameter space.

description: While Kerr effect has been used extensively for the study of magnetic materials, it is only recently that its has shown to be a powerful tool for the study of more complex quantum matter. Since such materials tend to exhibit a wealth of new phases and broken symmetries, it is important to understand the general constraints on the possibility of observing a finite Kerr effect. In this paper we reviewed the consequences of reciprocity on the scattering of electromagnetic waves. In particular we concentrate on the possible detection of Kerr effect from chiral media with and without time-reversal symmetry breaking. We show that a finite Kerr effect is possible only if reciprocity is broken. Introducing the utilization of the Sagnac interferometer as a detector for breakdown of reciprocity via the detection of a finite Kerr effect, we argue that in the linear regime, a finite detection is possible only if reciprocity is broken. We then discuss possible Kerr effect detection for materials with natural optical activity, magnetism, and chiral superconductivity.

description: Vertebrates are colonized at birth by complex and dynamic communities of microorganisms that can contribute significantly to host health and disease. The ability to raise animals in the absence of microorganisms has been a powerful tool for elucidating the relationships between animal hosts and their microbial residents. The optical transparency of the developing zebrafish and relative ease of generating germ-free zebrafish makes it an attractive model organism for gnotobiotic research. Here we provide a protocol for: generating zebrafish embryos; deriving and rearing germ-free zebrafish; and colonizing zebrafish with microorganisms. Using these methods, we typically obtain 80–90% sterility rates in our germ-free derivations with 90% survival in germ-free animals and 50–90% survival in colonized animals through larval stages. Obtaining embryos for derivation requires approximately 1–2 hours with a 3–8 hour incubation period prior to derivation. Derivation of germ-free animals takes 1–1.5 hours, and daily maintenance requires 1–2 hours.
Unsupervised Syntax-based Probabilistic Sentence Generation

Sentence reconstruction and generation are essential applications in Natural Language Processing (NLP). Early studies were based on classic methods such as production rules and statistical models. Recently, the prevailing models typically use deep neural networks. In this study, we utilize deep neural networks to develop a model capable of generating new and unseen sentences or reconstructing the given input with minor changes. To achieve this goal, we develop an unsupervised tree-based model based on the Variational Autoencoder (VAE) framework.

Our approach utilizes the grammar rules of natural language and generates sentences based on phrases. This approach helps the generated sentence to be semantically and syntactically correct. Previous models typically considered the tokens sequentially, and the syntax was only learned implicitly. By contrast, our model learns both the sequence of the tokens and the syntax of the sentences explicitly in order to generate better samples. The variational modelling enables us to sample from the continuous latent space to generate new sentences or reconstruct the input.

We demonstrate the effectiveness of this model through experiments. The tree-based VAE model is trained on the Stanford Natural Language Inference (SNLI) dataset. First, we compute the BLEU score for the given input to evaluate the reconstruction capability of the model and how the model can preserve the information from the input. This score shows that our proposed model reconstructs the input sentence better than the baseline. Second, random sampling from the latent space is used to evaluate how fluent the generation is. We observe the perplexity, UniKL, and entropy to evaluate the quality of the generated sentences. The results show that the generated sentences are less semantically meaningful. However, the sentences are correct in terms of the syntax and the order of phrases. The reason is that the rules are applied in a way that correct parse trees are generated.

Medical Fake News is a pervasive part of the information that people consume on the internet. It may lead people to take actions which may put the lives of their family and community in danger - such actions include vaccine hesitancy, administering unverified and harmful treatments, etc. First step towards countering such fake news is to detect it. In this report we explore various approaches to automatically detect and determine the veracity of textual claims, especially but not limited to medical claims, found online in social media posts and articles. In this report we present (1) An automated veracity checker for online articles pertaining to NeuroDevelopmental Disorders (NDDs) (2) Our work on detection of fake news in social media posts related to COVID-19 (3) Our approach to the shared task of Multi-Modal Fake News detection at the De-FACTIFY Workshop collocated with AAAI'22, where we secured the 4th position on the leaderboard.
Algorithmic Awareness Among Computing Science Students: Exploring Perspectives on Responsible Design and Use of Social Media

Computational literacy and awareness have emerged as significant public and academic concerns. Implementing robust algorithm systems on social communication platforms may have positive and negative consequences on all age groups in society, particularly on the most frequent users, young adults. While more research, education, and policy work on algorithmic implications are urgently needed, this study focused on identifying patterns of awareness about the issue among computing science students, a unique group of individuals who are both young adult consumers and future designers of the system. It specifically investigated how their awareness might impact their behavior in ways that lead to more positive outcomes when utilizing social media. It also investigated how they perceive recent education and training patterns regarding responsible algorithm design while learning to design such platforms. It gathered a significant dataset from relevant literature reviews and qualitative interviews, analyzed it with a qualitative data analysis approach, and tested the findings against various sociological theories and practices. Most of the young adults interviewed are aware of the effects of algorithms and tend not to use social media actively to avoid its harmful effects. However, they argue that the institutions and agencies responsible for the platforms' existence must do their part to address the issue. The process begins with educational institutions developing curricula for computing science programs to ensure that when those students learn to design algorithms, they learn to do it responsibly and for all other students to raise algorithmic awareness. Followed by employers acting under their social obligations, and most importantly, the government intervening by enacting rules and regulations to make the changes happen.

description: Long-term modulation of solar differential rotation was studied with data from Mt. Wilson and our original observations during Solar Cycles 16 through 23. The results are: i) The global B-value (i.e. latitudinal gradient of differential rotation), is modulated in a period of about six or seven solar cycles. ii) The B-values of the northern and southern hemispheres are also modulated with a similar period to the global one, but iii) they show quasi-oscillatory behavior with a phase shift between them. We examined the yearly fluctuations of the B-values in every solar cycle with reference to the phase of the sunspot cycle and found that the B-values show high values over the full-cycle years, when the cycle-averaged B-values are high. We discuss the independent long-term behavior of solar differential rotation between the northern and southern solar hemispheres and its implication for the solar dynamo.

Time-resolved RNA SHAPE chemistry: quantitative RNA structure analysis in one-second snapshots and at single-nucleotide resolution

description: RNA SHAPE chemistry exploits the discovery that conformationally dynamic nucleotides preferentially adopt conformations that facilitate reaction between the 2′-OH group and a hydroxyl-selective electrophile, such as benzoyl cyanide (BzCN), to form a 2′-O-adduct. BzCN is ideally suited for quantitative, time-resolved analysis of RNA folding and RNP assembly mechanisms because this reagent both reacts with flexible RNA nucleotides and also undergoes auto-inactivating hydrolysis with a half-life of 0.25 s at 37 °C. RNA folding is initiated by addition of Mg2+ or protein, or other change in solution conditions, and nucleotide resolution structural images are obtained by adding aliquots of the evolving reaction to BzCN and then “waiting” for 1 sec. Sites of 2′-O-adduct formation are subsequently scored as stops to primer extension using reverse transcriptase. This time resolved SHAPE protocol makes it possible to obtain 1 sec snapshots in time-resolved kinetic studies for RNAs of arbitrary length and complexity in a straightforward and concise experiment.
