description: Clustered observations such as longitudinal data are often analysed with generalized linear mixed models (GLMM). Approximate Bayesian inference for GLMMs with normally distributed random effects can be done using integrated nested Laplace approximations (INLA), which is in general known to yield accurate results. However, INLA is known to be less accurate for GLMMs with binary response. For longitudinal binary response data it is common that patients do not change their health state during the study period. In this case the grouping covariate perfectly predicts a subset of the response, which implies a monotone likelihood with diverging maximum likelihood (ML) estimates for cluster-specific parameters. This is known as quasi-complete separation. In this paper we demonstrate, based on longitudinal data from a randomized clinical trial and two simulations, that the accuracy of INLA decreases with increasing degree of cluster-specific quasi-complete separation. Comparing parameter estimates by INLA, Markov chain Monte Carlo sampling and ML shows that INLA increasingly deviates from the other methods in such a scenario.

description: The paper presents the visualisation of volcanic relief and processes that formed the landscape of the Nízký Jeseník Upland (today recognised as a national geopark) during different phases of the Cenozoic. There are three basic types of volcanic phenomena: (i) volcanoes, (ii) lava flows and changes of relief induced by them and (iii) tuffaceous sediments. These are presented by block diagrams, panoramic maps and cross-sections on 18 panels placed along a 25 km long education trail leading through the volcanic landscape. We used a combination of GIS and graphic software to produce block diagrams based on various published and unpublished information sources. The education trail transfers scientific knowledge to the general public in an effort to contribute to the educational objectives of the Jeseníky Geopark.

description: Between ages 4 and 6, children become better at inferring what others are thinking and feeling. However, the neural correlates of these advances are understudied. The current study investigated the relation between performance on a face-based mental state inference task and white matter characteristics. Two tracts of interest, the uncinate fasciculus (UF) and inferior longitudinal fasciculus, were analyzed due to their involvement in social–emotional and face processing, respectively. Findings demonstrate a significant relation between fractional anisotropy in the UF and task performance in 4- but not 6-year-old children. Findings have implications for typical and atypical populations.

description: The study of precipitation due to convective phenomena is one of the most challeging tasks in climate and meteorological research and especially from the perspective of collected surface precipitation since they can lead to natural disasters in various regions, impacting entire populations. This work aims to classify convective phenomena after identifying them based on a methodology that separates precipitation components into convective and stratiform.

Based on statistical properties of precipitation, a threshold value, or critical precipitation ratio, has been computed in order to classify every precipitation event into a stratiform or convective episode. The criterion to identify a convective phenomenon consists of knowing if rain rate exceeds such critical value. Rain events, particularly convective ones, may vary in intensity, duration, and frequency depending on the climatic zone, and thus they will be categorized according to these areas.

To conduct this study, precipitation data, both hourly and daily measurements, from surface rain gauge stations have been utilized. These data cover all of Peninsular Spain and Balearic Islands from 1998 to 2023 and have been provided by Aemet (the Spanish Meteorological Agency).

Previous findings indicate that convective episodes occur less frequently in the Eastern Iberian Peninsula compared to the Cantabrian area. However, they exhibit shorter duration and higher maximum rainfall intensity in the former. Despite these variations, the accumulated precipitation amounts per episode and per station are similar in both regions. Furthermore, it is noted that the number of rain gauge stations affected by convective phenomena is greater in the Cantabrian area, suggesting a broader distribution of these episodes in the northwest of Spain. It hints at potential atmospheric and geographical factors influencing convective processes in different parts of Spain.

description: Cooperatively breeding vertebrates are common in unpredictable environments where the costs and benefits of providing offspring care fluctuate temporally. To balance these fitness outcomes, individuals of cooperatively breeding species often exhibit behavioural plasticity according to environmental conditions. Although individual variation in cooperative behaviours is well-studied, less is known about variation in plasticity of social behaviour. Here, we examine the fitness benefits, plasticity and repeatability of nest guarding behaviour in cooperatively breeding superb starlings (Lamprotornis superbus). After demonstrating that the cumulative nest guarding performed at a nest by all breeders and helpers combined is a significant predictor of reproductive success, we model breeder and helper behavioural reaction norms to test the hypothesis that individuals invest more in guarding in favourable seasons with high rainfall. Variation in nest guarding behaviour across seasons differed for individuals of different reproductive status: breeders showed plastic nest guarding behaviour in response to rainfall, whereas helpers did not. Similarly, we found that individual breeders show repeatability and consistency in their nest guarding behaviour while individual helpers did not. Thus, individuals with the potential to gain direct fitness benefits exhibit greater plasticity and individual-level repeatability in cooperative behaviour.

description: This study describes the use of two types of biomass ashes (BMAs) as adsorbents for diuron removal. Two BMAs, namely rice husk ash (RHA) and bagasse fly ash (BFA), were used in this study, and their adsorption behavior and adsorption mechanism were compared based on various characteristics, such as surface area, pore diameter, and volume. It was found that the particle size and the composition of these BMAs, especially the content of carbon and silica, primarily affect the adsorption kinetics and capacity. Compared with RHA, BFA has more carbon content (47.37%), and therefore shows higher adsorption capacity (43.48 μmol/g). In addition, BFA has larger external surface area and exhibited faster kinetics at the initial adsorption stage; by contrast, RHA due to its larger pore diameter allows for faster pore adsorption and surpasses the initial kinetic rate of BFA. For the same particle size (0.354–0.251 mm), the equilibrium capacity of BFA was found to be four times greater than that of RHA; in addition, the surface area of BFA is two times more than that of RHA, suggesting that BFA has more active sites than RHA. It was found that solution pH influences adsorption mechanism of diuron molecule on BMA. The uptake capacity of BFA and RHA is 10 times greater than natural adsorbents such as soil and is comparable with synthetic adsorbents such as activated carbon and multiwalled carbon nanotubes. To our knowledge, removal of diuron using ashes has not been reported previously.

description: DNA repair genes play critical roles in response to carcinogen-induced and anticancer therapy-induced DNA damage. Benzo[a]pyrene (BaP), the most carcinogenic polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon (PAH), is classified as a group 1 carcinogen by International Agency for Research on Cancer. The aims of this study were to (1) evaluate the effects of BaP on DNA repair activity and expression of DNA repair genes in vitro and (2) examine the role of xeroderma pigmentosum, complementation group D (XPD) mRNA expression in human head and neck cancers. Host cell reactivation assay showed that BaP inhibited nucleotide excision repair in H1299 lung cancer cells. DNA repair through the non-homologous end-joining pathway was not affected by BaP. Real-time quantitative reverse-transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) and Western blot demonstrated that XPD was downregulated by BaP treatment. BaP exposure did not apparently affect expression of another 11 DNA repair genes. BaP treatment increased the DNA damage marker γ-H2AX and ultraviolet (UV) sensitivity, supporting an impairment of DNA repair in BaP-treated cells. XPD expression was also examined by quantitative RT-PCR in 68 head and neck cancers, and a lower XPD mRNA level was found in smokers’ cancer specimens. Importantly, reduced XPD expression was correlated with patient 5-year overall survival rate (35 vs. 56%) and was an independent prognostic factor (hazard ratio: 2.27). Data demonstrated that XPD downregulation was correlated with BaP exposure and human head and neck cancer survival.

description: Psychophysical research on text legibility has historically investigated factors such as size, colour and contrast, but there has been relatively little direct empirical evaluation of typographic design itself, particularly in the emerging context of glance reading. In the present study, participants performed a lexical decision task controlled by an adaptive staircase method. Two typefaces, a ‘humanist’ and ‘square grotesque’ style, were tested. Study I examined positive and negative polarities, while Study II examined two text sizes. Stimulus duration thresholds were sensitive to differences between typefaces, polarities and sizes. Typeface also interacted significantly with age, particularly for conditions with higher legibility thresholds. These results are consistent with previous research assessing the impact of the same typefaces on interface demand in a simulated driving environment. This simplified methodology of assessing legibility differences can be adapted to investigate a wide array of questions relevant to typographic and interface designs. Practitioner Summary: A method is described for rapidly investigating relative legibility of different typographical features. Results indicate that during glance-like reading induced by the psychophysical technique and under the lighting conditions considered, humanist-style type is significantly more legible than a square grotesque style, and that black-on-white text is significantly more legible than white-on-black.

description: Master production scheduling (MPS) is widely used by manufacturing industries in order to handle the production scheduling decisions in the production planning hierarchy. The classical approach to MPS assumes infinite capacity, fixed (i.e. non-controllable) processing times and a single pre-determined scenario for the demand forecasts. However, the deterministic optimisation approaches are sometimes not suitable for addressing the real-world problems with high uncertainty and flexibility. Accordingly, in this paper, we propose a new practical model for designing an optimal MPS for the environments in which processing times may be controllable by allocating resources such as facilities, energy or manpower. Due to the NP-hardness of our model, an efficient heuristic algorithm using local search technique and theory of constraints is developed and analysed. The computational results especially for large-sized test problems show that the average optimality gap of proposed algorithm is four times lower than that of exact solution using GAMS while it consumes also significantly smaller run times. Also, the analysis of computational results confirms that considering the controllable processing times may improve the solution space and help to more efficiently utilise the available resources. According to the model structure and performance of the algorithm, it may be proposed for solving large and complex real-world problems particularly the machining and steel industries.

description: Objectives The aim of our study was to investigate the knowledge, perceptions and attitudes of female Romanian university students, as possible future opinion leaders, about contraception and motherhood, by assessing their level of contraceptive use, opinions and knowledge with regard to combined oral contraceptives (COCs).Methods A knowledge, attitudes and practice questionnaire was conducted among 1105 female university students aged 19 to 30 years. The participants were recruited from six faculties at universities in Iasi and Arad, Romania. The study protocol was approved by the university ethics committees. Statistical analyses included percentages, χ2 tests and Fisher's exact test.Results Two-thirds of respondents were in a relationship or married. Average age at first sexual intercourse was 18.6 years. Two out of three (69%) students identified themselves as sexually active. The same percentage showed a positive attitude towards contraception and stated that they used it. The most commonly used contraceptive methods were condoms, COCs and withdrawal. The students’ perceptions of the benefits and adverse effects of COCs were analysed. Half of the students had heard about extended COC regimens, but only 24% showed interest in using them regularly. A large proportion of pharmacy and non-medical students appeared to have poor knowledge about contraception and reproductive health, which generated misperceptions and negative attitudes. Two-thirds of the participants considered 25 to 29 years to be the optimal age for starting a family, and 85.5% intended to have children in the future.Conclusions Medical students, but not pharmacy students, showed higher levels of knowledge. Improvement of students’ knowledge, perceptions and attitudes towards general contraceptive use, COCs and childbearing is needed. Evidence-based information is required to address poor knowledge about the physiology of reproduction, misconceptions relating to COCs, and the possibility of menstrual suppression using hormonal contraceptive methods. Compulsory reproductive health education for students is desirable.

The surface oxygen of the polyanion in 1, the crystalline water, and coordinated water molecules make an extended 3-D hydrogen-bonding network. Alternating current (AC) impedance experiments of 1 reveal good proton conductivity for 1 of 5.03 × 10− 4 S cm−1 at 25 °C under 98% relative humidity (RH). Activation energy of 1 calculated from Arrhenius plots is 0.358 eV, indicating Grotthuss mechanism is dominant in the proton transfer. Thermal decomposition behavior of 1 was examined by thermogravimetry/mass spectrometry (TG/MS) measurements.
The definition of Steed Variance/ Covariance and their applications

description: The average or expectation of an engineering observation random quantity is the first order origin moment. The deviation of random variable from the average is called error. The quantity used to measure the degree of correlation between the errors of two variables is covariance. Variance is a special case of covariance, when two variables are the same. The variance is the second-order central moment. The normalization of covariance to standard deviation is Pearson correlation coefficient. The normalization of variance to expectation is index of dispersion, and the derivative of the index of dispersion to the observation time interval of the accumulation span plus one then divided by two is Hurst index. The Hurst value reflects the long memory fluctuation. By making integer order moment fractional, we can have more fun, and it is called Steed version of everything said!

description: Most theories of legislative behaviour explain the behaviour of MPs through electoral incentives. However, they fail to explain variation in parliamentary activity when individual electoral incentives are largely absent. This article studies MPs’ activity in such a parliament: the Dutch Tweede Kamer. It examines four clusters of incentives that may drive parliamentarians to be active. Party and committee environments provide the best explanation for the level of activity of individual MPs. Reselection and promotion prospects explain MPs’ behaviour, but only under more particular specifications. Re-election prospects were not found to affect activity levels.

description: Trichoderma based products are considered an alternative to synthetic pesticides and fertilizers. These Trichoderma spp. are among the most studied and applied fungal BCAs in industry and agriculture and are known to secrete several secondary metabolites with different biological activities. The analysis of metabolic profiles (the ‘metabolome’) of Trichoderma species is complex because of the wide range of compounds produced and the molecular activities identified, including the recently determined role in the activation of plant resistance to biotic and abiotic stresses and growth promotion. A new 10-member lactone, but-2-enoic acid 7-acetoxy-6-hydroxy-2-methyl-10-oxo-5,6,7,8,9,10-hexahydro-2H-oxecin-5-yl ester, named cremenolide (1), has been isolated from culture filtrates of Trichoderma cremeum. The structure of cremenolide was determined by spectroscopic methods, including UV, MS, and 1D and 2D NMR analyses. In vitro tests showed that the purified compound inhibited the radial mycelium growth of Fusarium oxysporum, Botrytis cinerea and Rhizoctonia solani, and exerted a significant promotion of growth of tomato seedlings.

description: The antimicrobial activity of acetone, methanol and aqueous extracts of Asphodeline anatolica E. Tuzlaci leaves was evaluated against American type culture collection, food and clinical isolates (Listeria monocytogenes and Staphylococcus aureus including methicillin-resistant strains-MRSA). Biofilm formation, toxicity and characterisation of the polyphenolic content were analysed. The acetone extract demonstrated a higher antibacterial activity against S. aureus including MRSA strains, L. monocytogenes and Pseudomonas aeruginosa than against other extracts. No effect was observed in biofilm formation. The extracts resulted non-toxic against Artemia salina Leach. The phytochemical screening of extracts indicated that they mainly contained six polyphenols identified as catechin 3-O-gallate, protocatechuic acid, diosmin, rutin, cirsimaritin and kaempferol glucoside. This study is the first report on antimicrobial activity and phenolic content of A. anatolica and contributes to enrich the literature data on the biological properties of this plant. A. anatolica leaves have a potential as source of natural antimicrobial compounds.

description: Two new cytotoxic furoquinoline alkaloids were isolated from the leaves of Aegle marmelos (Linn.) Correa; one from the total alkaloidal fraction (acid/base shake-out method) of the CHCl3 extract and identified as 7,8-dihydroxy-4-hydrofuroquinoline and named trivially as Aegelbine-A. The other new alkaloid isolated from the pet. ether extract and identified as 4-hydro-7-hydroxy-8-prenyloxyfuroquinoline and named trivially as Aegelbine-B, together with a known alkaloid; aegeline and a known phenolic acid; ρ-hydroxybenzoic acid. The structures of all the isolated compounds were established based on 1D and 2D NMR spectroscopy and HR-ESI/MS. The cytotoxic activity of the isolated compounds was evaluated in vitro against HepG-2, PC3, A549 and MCF-7 cell lines. The obtained results revealed promising activity with structure-based relationship which is discussed briefly.
title: The world of the pose: constructing a dramaturgy of the pose
Creators: name: Kovacs, Nicole
Publisher: name: University of Glasgow

Subjects: subject: Meisner technique, Pose, mie pose, Attitude pose, tableaux vivant, actor training, dramaturgy, sensory, Sanford Meisner, co-creation, diversity, inclusivity, devising, practice, kabuki, Caravaggio and theatre.

description: This is an interdisciplinary practice led study (actor training/theatre/visual arts). The study asks, what does the treatment of the pose as a dramaturgical tool offer the contemporary practitioner? It examines the impact of a pose dramaturgy on a dramatic text, characterisation and performance practice. In addition, it explores the pose as a tool to investigate performance practice and aims to engage its spectators in co-creation. This aspect is guided by the principles of Sanford Meisner’s actor training strategy: the Meisner technique. Furthermore, the Meisner technique is explored in an unconventional way, both as a theoretical tool to think through a devising process, and as a tool for the actor to engage with the self in the creative process and on the stage. The study offers a sensory approach to text exploration, characterisation and performance practice. The study privileges and foregrounds the actor’s embodied learning processes as an important (underrepresented and undervalued) knowledge producer in the theatrical discourse. The study’s aim is to create a practice mode in which actors/practitioners may extract their own unique creative practice explorations, and language.

Using desk-based, fieldwork and practice investigations, the study analyses and attempts to codify the pose in theatrical performance, which includes how performance structures support the pose moment and the pose template.

The codified structures derived from this study of the pose could be applied to other art forms. Due to the status of the pose as an image, the theatrical performance might not be the finite event, as the image (the pose) can be transferred and re-investigated through other art forms, such as visual arts, interactive events and film.

The study posits that, while modern technologies are available, there is still much to learn about actor and spectator engagement from the sensory world of the pose.

description: Salvia wagneriana Polak is a tropical species native to Central America, well adapted to grow in the Mediterranean basin for garden decoration. Micropropagation has been assessed from axillary shoots of adult plants using a Murashige and Skoog basal medium, with the addition of 1.33-μM 6-benzylaminopurine for shoot proliferation; the subsequent rooting phase occurred in plant growth regulator-free medium. The plants were successfully acclimatised with high survival frequency. Hairy roots were induced after co-cultivation of leaf lamina and petiole fragments with Agrobacterium rhizogenes and confirmed by PCR. The establishment and proliferation of the selected HRD3 line were obtained in hormone-free liquid medium and the production of rosmarinic acid (RA) was evaluated after elicitation. The analysis of RA was performed by LC-ESI-DAD-MS in the hydroalcoholic extracts. The addition of casein hydrolysate increased the RA production, whereas no enrichment was observed after the elicitation with jasmonic acid.

description: One new diterpene, trichocitrin (1), and four known secondary metabolites, nafuredin (2), 5-hydroxy-2,3-dimethyl-7-methoxychromone (3), 24-methylenecycloartanol (4) and citrostadienol (5), were isolated from the culture of marine brown alga-endophytic Trichoderma citrinoviride cf-27. Trichocitrin (1) represents the first Trichoderma-derived and furan-bearing fusicoccane diterpene, and its structure and relative configuration were identified by analysis of 1D/2D NMR and mass spectroscopic data. Compounds 1 and 2 exhibited 8.0- and 9.5-mm inhibition zones, respectively, against Escherichia coli at 20 μg/disc and 54.1 and 36.7% growth inhibition, respectively, of Prorocentrum donghaiense at 80 μg/mL.

description: Bouguer anomaly maps are powerful cartographic tools used mainly by geoscientists and natural resources' companies (oil, mining, etc.) since they reflect rock density distribution at different depths, allowing the identification of different tectonic features. At upper crustal levels, Bouguer anomaly maps can help, for instance, in characterizing possible ore deposits, ground water reservoirs, petroleum resources, CO2 storage sites and sedimentary basins; at deeper crustal levels they can help to further refine seismic velocity models or other integrated geophysical models and thus help in deciphering the lateral density variations within the crust and the geometry of the base of the crust. This new Bouguer anomaly map at a 1:1,500,000 scale is based on the compilation of 210,283 gravity stations covering the Iberian Peninsula (c. 583,254 km2). The new map upgrades previous maps in two ways: (1) it is built up from a database with a 15% more spatial coverage than previous compilations and (2) it is freely available. This map show shorter wavelengths than previous published maps thus allowing investigation of smaller geological features.
