description: Excerpts from the report Introduction: Wholesale grocery firms are confronted with the problem of increasing costs in their handling and delivery operations. These increasing costs are of concern not only to wholesalers, but also to consumers and to producers. Increased marketing costs wherever they occur in the distribution channel may be reflected in lower returns to growers, lower profits to distributors, and higher prices to consumers. In recognition of this problem, this time study and cost analysis of the delivery operations of an independent wholesale grocery firm in Baltimore, Md., was undertaken. It is the first of a series of case studies designed to develop (1) less costly methods for delivering groceries, and (2) principles and methods which may be used by wholesalers in determining the relative profitability of delivering orders of varying size.

Subjects: Organizational well-being; Physiotherapists; Work motivation; Life satisfaction; Burnout.

description: Background: Numerous studies have furthered the dimension of organizational well-being in terms of its complexity over the years. However, little research that focused on the role of physiotherapists, who, as health professionals, address the physical and psychological pain of their clients. Methods: This research intends to enhance the understanding of organizational well-being within the different work contexts in which physiotherapists carry out their profession. A total of 150 physiotherapists, with an average age of 41.58 years (SD=12.34), from throughout Italy participated in an online self-report questionnaire, and the data collected were analysed using SPSS software. Results: From our analysis of the data, we find that compared to other professional categories, physiotherapists report lower burnout scores, which are also balanced by the presence of high levels of personal achievement. Conclusion: The results of this study suggest a need for organizations to invest in the consolidation of individual resources, as this contributes to improvements in work and personal well-being.

title: Mapping and Phenotyping Genes in the Del(13)Svea36H Region of Mouse Chromosome 13
Creators: name: McKeone, Richard
Publisher: name: The Open University
Year: 2009

description: Del(13)Svea36H (also known as Del36H) is a 12.7Mb gene-rich region that has been deleted in mouse chromosome 13. It contains numerous disease loci as well as showing conserved synteny to two regions of human chromosome 6p which can be missing in some deletion syndromes. The mouse deletion causes homozygous embryonic lethality but is hemizygously viable. It has therefore been used as a tool to screen for lethal recessive mutations that could help to identify developmental genes that are responsible for the symptoms of the associated human diseases.

A Physical map of the region was constructed in order to facilitate the mapping of mutations arising from the lethal screen. Eleven lethal lines have been mapped to varying degrees of accuracy, including one lethal mutation that exhibited circulation defects which localised to Sox4.

The forkhead transcription factor Foxf2 was considered a potential candidate for embryonic lethal mutations within the interval. To complement the lethal recessive screen, an attempt was made to identify an allelic series of mutations in the gene. ENU mutagenised mouse archives were screened for novel Foxf2 mutations. Three potential functional mutations were discovered - two coding mutations (Foxf2W174R and Foxf2V412F), and a splice site mutation.

Foxf2W174R heterozygotes exhibited thinning of the iris stroma, alongside hypoplasia of the trabecular meshwork and canal of Schlemm and a reduction in the iridocorneal angle. Homozygote eyes at E18.5 show no signs of the developing ciliary body which were seen in wildtype littermates.

Homozygote carriers survive for several days, significantly longer than the 18hr survival time observed in the knockout, suggesting a hypomorphic mutation. In contrast to Foxf2 knockouts, homozygotes for the W174R mutation do not possess a cleft palate or malformed tongue.

Year: 2021
Subjects: Overparenting; Helicopter parenting; Externalizing symptoms; Internalizing symptoms; Narcissism.

description: This review focuses on a peculiar typology of parenting characterized by overprotection, overinvolvement, overcontrol and an excess of entanglement; academic literature refers to this parenting style with the term overparenting or helicopter parenting. An in-depth description of overparenting constitutes the first part of this review. The second part of this review reports empirical evidence regarding the effects of overparenting on offspring psychological outcomes with particular regard to internalizing and externalizing disorders, coping strategies and dysfunctional personality traits. Depression and anxiety symptoms are frequently exhibited in offspring exposed to overparenting, as well as negative affectivity and maladaptive coping. Furthermore, adolescents and adults with overparenting parents seem to have an increased likelihood of exhibiting narcissistic pathological traits.

description: For over 10 years the Australian Centre for Field Robotics (ACFR) at the University of Sydney has been developing novel mechatronic and software systems for the Australian agriculture industry. The aim is to support farmers with the research, development and commercialisation of digital tools that would help them increase yield and productivity and reduce input costs. In 2015 the ACFR received philanthropic funding to look at designing similar technology for smallholder farmers. The hypothesis is that with an appropriate education and training program coupled with low-cost on-farm mobile platforms and digital tools adapted from more precise technology, a system and methodology could be developed that delivers food and nutrition security and encourages next-generation growers to adopt digital agriculture techniques. These requirements led to the development of the Digital Farmhand. The Digital Farmhand comprises a small mobile platform that can be hand towed, remotely controlled, or set into autonomous mode. On the mobile platform exists a smartphone, sensors, and computing. Collectively the system can undertake precision seeding, spraying and weeding. Through the digital capability of monitoring and analysing individual plants the system has the potential to support better on-farm decision making, helping growers increase yield and productivity, reduce input costs, and maximise nutrition security. The Digital Farmhand has been trialled amongst small farm holders in Australia as well as in Indonesia and will be trialled next year in the Pacific Islands. The objective of these trials is to close in on the requirements that would meet the needs of those communities.

description: We present the results of N-band spectro-interferometric observations of the silicate carbon star IRAS08002-3803 with the MID-infrared Interferometric instrument (MIDI) at the Very Large Telescope Interferometer (VLTI) of the European Southern Observatory (ESO). The observations were carried out using two unit telescopes (UT2 and UT3) with projected baseline lengths ranging from 39 to 47 m. Our observations of IRAS08002-3803 have spatially resolved the dusty environment of a silicate carbon star for the first time and revealed an unexpected wavelength dependence of the angular size in the N band: the uniform-disk diameter is found to be constant and ~36 mas (72 Rstar) between 8 and 10 micron, while it steeply increases longward of 10 micron to reach ~53 mas (106 Rstar) at 13 micron. Model calculations with our Monte Carlo radiative transfer code show that neither spherical shell models nor axisymmetric disk models consisting of silicate grains alone can simultaneously explain the observed wavelength dependence of the visibility and the spectral energy distribution (SED). We propose that the circumstellar environment of IRAS08002-3803 may consist of two grain species coexisting in the disk: silicate and a second grain species, for which we consider amorphous carbon, large silicate grains, and metallic iron grains. Comparison of the observed visibilities and SED with our models shows that such disk models can fairly -- though not entirely satisfactorily -- reproduce the observed SED and N-band visibilities. Our MIDI observations and the radiative transfer calculations lend support to the picture where oxygen-rich material around IRAS08002-3803 is stored in a circumbinary disk surrounding the carbon-rich primary star and its putative low-luminosity companion.

description: Traveling across several order of magnitude in distance, relativistic jets from strong gravity region to asymptotic flat spacetime region are believed to consist of several general relativistic magnetohydrodynamic (GRMHD) processes. We present a semi-analytical approach for modeling the global structures of a trans-fast magnetosonic relativistic jet, which should be ejected from a plasma source nearby a black hole in a funnel region enclosed by dense accreting flow and also disk corona around the black hole. Our model consistently includes the inflow and outflow part of the GRMHD solution along the magnetic field lines penetrating the black hole horizon. After the rotational energy of the black hole is extracted electromagnetically by the negative energy GRMHD inflow, the huge electromagnetic energy flux then propagates from the inflow to the outflow region across the plasma source, and in the outflow region the electromagnetic energy converts to the fluid kinetic energy. Eventually, the accelerated outflow must exceed the fast-magnetosonic wave speed. We apply the semi-analytical trans-fast magnetosonic flow model to the black hole magnetosphere for both parabolic and split-monopole magnetic field configurations, and discuss the general flow properties; that is, jet acceleration, jet magnetization, and the locations of some characteristic surfaces of the black hole magnetosphere. We have confirmed that, at large distance, the GRMHD jet solutions are in good agreement with the previously known trans-fast special relativistic magnetohydrodynamic (SRMHD) jet properties, as expected. The flexibility of the model provides a prompt and heuristic way to approximate the global GRMHD trans-fast magnetosonic jet properties.

description: This work describes the distribution of psychopathological indicators and their clinical levels in Uruguayan high school adolescents by gender, age, and socioeconomic level of the participants. The proportion of cases with indicators at comorbid clinical levels is also estimated. We evaluated 540 adolescent students of both genders (55.5% female), aged 12 to 18 years (M=15.40; SD=1.92) of five departments of Uruguay, using the Personality Assessment Inventory-Adolescent (PAI-A; Morey, 2007). In many of the PAI-A scales, significant differences were recorded in the mean scores by gender, age, and socioeconomic status. A third of the adolescents presented significant levels on one or more clinical scales, the most frequent being depression, anxiety and somatizations, and the least prevalent, antagonistic traits. The adolescents with higher scores on the PAI-A scales were female, younger and with a lower socioeconomic level.

title: Mechanisms of Activation and Inactivation of Rad53 Checkpoint Kinase
Creators: name: Fiorani, Simona
Publisher: name: The Open University
Year: 2008

description: In many protein kinases, the phosphorylation of one or more residues in the activation segment is critical for driving the conformational change, which allows the activation of the kinase. The yeast checkpoint kinase Rad53 presents two phosphorylatable Threonine residues (T354 and T358) in the activation segment. In this thesis I have generated rad53 mutants with affected activation segment functions resulting from Alanine or Aspartate substitution of single or both the T354 and T358. These results pinpointed functional regulatory roles of the phosphorylations of both Threonine residues in the catalytic activation of Rad53. Interestingly, the rad53-T354D-T358D mutation caused the accumulation of the S129-phosphorylated isoform of the histone H2A even during an unperturbed cell cycle, thus indicating the accumulation of spontaneous DNA lesions. We further found that the accumulation of DNA lesions in rad53-T354D-T358D cells is due to high abundance of Sm11, that is the physiological inhibitor of the Ribonucleotide Reductase, thus suggesting that the main source of the DNA lesions in rad53-T354D-T358D cells is an inadequate pool of the DNA replication precursors dNTPs. In this thesis I also present the production and characterization of novel monoclonal antibodies directed against various isoforms of Rad53, including antibodies directed specifically to autophosphorylated and active Rad53.

In conclusion, the results and reagents described in this thesis may help to elucidate the essential role of the checkpoint kinase Rad53 in preserving genome integrity.

Subjects: Fibromyalgia syndrome (FMS); Rorschach Performance Assessment System (R-PAS); Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA).

description: Background: The role that psychological factors and personality traits play in the pathogenesis of Fibromyalgia Syndrome (FMS) is currently controversial. Most of the studies on FMS used self-report measures, and to date only a doctoral dissertation was conducted to compare the Rorschach responses of patients with FMS to the normative sample. Aim and Method: By using the Rorschach Performance Assessment System (R-PAS), we compared the scores of 35 women with FMS with those of 35 women with rheumatoid arthritis (RA). R-PAS is a performance-based task able to provide information on psychological processes occurring in the context outside and beyond the test. Furthermore, we chose RA patients as a contrast group because they both share the same medical picture in terms of pain experiences. Results: Compared to the RA group, the FMS group seemed to experience considerable implicit distress (YTVC’) associated with a sense of helplessness and despair (Y) that interferes with coping and adaptive mechanisms. Moreover, we found that these patients showed a cognitive processing focused mostly on the straightforward components of the environment (SI and Sy), but the interpretation of the environment was more unconventional (FQo%). Finally, we observed that almost half of the FMS group exhibited an excessive worry on the body (An). Conclusions: Our study has two implications for practicing psychologists. First, by using a performance-based test such as the R-PAS, we were able to provide a different clinical picture than self-reports (e.g., we did not find alexithymia features in the FMS protocols) and to identify the problematic features even at different levels of Complexity. Second, the increased levels of implicit stress found in the FMS group require psychological interventions focused on empowering these patients with self-management, active coping strategies when dealing with stressors and pain, so to defy their sense of helplessness.

description: The University of British Columbia Food System Project is an ongoing initiative that connects campus stakeholders with teams of students from the Land, Food and Community III (LFS 450) course to collaboratively transition the UBC food system toward sustainability. Employing a community-based action research approach, our transdisciplinary team partnered with Sprouts, a student-run cafe and grocery store on campus. Our project involved developing outlines of food system sustainability-related workshops in order to diversify Sprouts’ workshop topics, which have thus far been limited to cooking. We also explored ways in which Sprouts could use its workshops as educational outreach venues to engage people who are not involved with Sprouts. From surveying people within the building where Sprouts is located, we determined that lecture-based workshops should be less than 1.5 hours. This workshop length was also advised by experienced workshop facilitators who we contacted by e-mail. Additionally, we found that there was great interest in workshops on indoor gardening and those with a cooking component, which supported the workshop outlines that we developed. We recommend that Sprouts target specific organizations on campus and in the greater Vancouver community whose members are underrepresented at Sprouts and its workshops. For future LFS 450 teams, we propose acting as a liaison between Sprouts and a target organization to collaboratively design, schedule, and deliver a workshop on a food system sustainability-related topic.

description: Background: The COVID-19 pandemic has become a global crisis, necessitating an investigation of its effects from a mental health and wellbeing perspective. In Italy within a few weeks of detecting the first case of coronavirus (February 20, 2020), the country imposed a nationwide quarantine to reduce transmission of the virus disrupting people's daily lives, and creating a significant impact on their physical and mental health. Methods: We sought to test the mediating role of the fear of COVID-19 in the association between mental distress and risky health behaviours in a population of 592 Italian adults, including 467 females and 124 males (M= 39.7; SD= 16.4; range 18-79). First, we hypothesized a direct positive effect of mental distress, measured through the General Health Questionnaire (GHQ) on risky health behaviours, recorded throughout an adaptation of the Ebola risk behaviour scale, second, a direct and negative association between mental distress and fear of COVID-19 and the mediation role of Fear of COVID (FCV) between mental distress and risky health behaviours. Results: Mental distress and risky behaviours showed to be tied thanks to the mediation of fear of the COVID-19. This relationship is an essential indicator of the role of decreased mental health in alleviating fear and exposing people to risky behaviours. Conclusions: Good mental health could protect from risk-taking behaviours when fear is not intervening as a mediator, while psychologically distressed people could perceive less fear of getting infected and be exposed to harmful and dangerous behaviours that could increase the risk of contracting the COVID-19. Our findings might help in promoting healthy behaviours during the pandemic outbreak.

description: Adolescence is considered to be a time of transition and great transformation at a biological, cognitive, and social level, which makes adolescents prone to certain risks and dysfunctions. Close to 20% of adolescents around the world suffer from a mental disorder, with many of those being of an emotional and affective nature. At the same time, it is estimated that 20% of the population will suffer from an anxiety disorder at some point in their lives. The problems that occur in different spheres, such as family, social, educational, political, economic, among others, may cause an imbalance regarding cognition and in the way that diverse situations are faced, which undoubtedly affect adaptation in different contexts. This is a cross-sectional correlational study, the objective of which was to determine the consistency existing between the dimensions of state-trait anxiety and the general state of adaptation in 98 adolescents, aged 12 to 15, from sixth to eleventh grade, using the State-Trait Anxiety Inventory for Children (STAIC) and the Bell’s Adjustment Inventory (BAI). From an analysis of multiple correspondences and the R-Statistics package, the results indicate that with greater levels of anxiety, there are lower levels of adaptation. Lower levels of anxiety are presented, the higher levels of state anxiety (tranquillity) being more common at the beginning of adolescence (12-13 years old), and specifically in social adaptation. Additionally, the analysis derived from the levels of state and trait anxiety and their relationship with the different types of adaptation is discussed.

description: Farmers in the Son La region of north-west Vietnam are working together with ACIAR to produce high quality vegetables, supplying emerging retail markets in Vietnam. The market for high quality vegetables in Vietnam is expanding rapidly. Project farmers in Moc Chau supplied 690 tonnes of VietGAP-accredited safe-to-eat vegetables in 2016. That was 65% more than in the previous year. ACIAR projects AGB/2009/053 and AGB/2014/035 have identified the smart use of data as a key factor in helping Vietnamese farmers supply emerging retail vegetable markets. Data management has been used for: 1. Maintaining farm records. Farmers must keep records about agronomy and use of chemicals so they can trade VietGAP-certified vegetables to lucrative retail markets. 2. Value chain reporting. Analysis of vegetable input costs, prices and throughput data using specific software (MonQi® Fresh Studio) is used to inform farmers of the most profitable crops and when to produce them, and to measure their net farm income. 3. QR codes. Farmers are now using QR codes to help trace the origin of vegetable crops supplied to retailers back to the individual farms where they were produced. QR codes are ideal for developing countries because they do not require special barcode readers and software systems.

description: Background: The limitations imposed by the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic on social relatedness (use of Personal Protective Equipment, interpersonal distancing, suspension of face-to-face activities, etc.) forced psychologists and psychotherapists to suspend face-to-face clinical activity for several months. The use of video calls (e.g., WhatsApp, Skype) and videoconferencing (e.g., Zoom, Meet) was the only way to avoid the interruption of psychotherapy and psychological counselling. However, the shift from offline to online psychotherapeutic settings has raised interesting theoretical and technical questions about how to consider the frame of clinical intervention. This article aims to contribute to the reflection on the characteristics of the online setting (videoconference) and its differences and specificities compared to the traditional setting. Methods: The article proposes a clinical case treated in an online psychotherapeutic setting. The intervention was carried out in the context of a counseling and psychological support service of an Italian university. Results: After a brief presentation of the case - a young adult with anxiety symptoms - the article describes a relational episode that occurred during a video-call interview (Skype). On the one hand, the episode highlights the characteristics of the patient and, on the other, how the online setting facilitated the expression of the patient's relational patterns. Conclusions: The case refers to a young adult who seems to develop interpersonal relationships based on presence/absence. The others (parents, partners) are always described as lacking something and, therefore, in some way, "absent". The patient himself is described as lacking something (e.g. masculinity) and shows himself unable to be fully present in situations. However, the theme of presence/absence also characterizes the online psychotherapeutic setting: presence is disembodied, lacking physicality. On the one hand, the clinical case highlights the need to understand the characteristics of the online setting better, and on the other hand, the importance of always keeping frame and process connected. It is fundamental to remember that what happens in the setting and is always an integral part of the clinical intervention.

description: We revisit critical behaviour and phase structure of charged anti-deSitter (AdS) dilaton black holes for arbitrary values of dilaton coupling $α$, and realize several novel phase behaviour for this system. We adopt the viewpoint that cosmological constant (pressure) is fixed and treat the charge of the black hole as a thermodynamical variable. We study critical behaviour and phase structure by analyzing the phase diagrams in $T-S$ and $ q-T$ planes. We numerically derive the critical point in terms of $α$ and observe that for $α=1$ and $α\geq \sqrt{3}$, the system does not admit any critical point, while for $0q_{c}$, however, a novel first order phase transition occurs between small and large black hole, which has not been observed in the previous studies on phase transition of charged AdS black holes.

title: Effect of Organic Nutrient Perturbation on Microbial Community Dynamics and Composition in Scottish Coastal Waters
Creators: name: Pete, Romain
Publisher: name: The Open University

description: This study investigates the effect of organic nutrient perturbation on the dynamics of marine microbial communities, adopting three different approaches. A field study was conducted on the west coast of Scotland, in two contrasting locations, including a fish farm anticipated as a point source of organic nutrients. Data collected from the stations sampled revealed that the marine microbial communities were highly dynamic. The comparison of the physico-chemical and biological variables measured at each station indicated that the abundances, diversities and productions of planktonic micro-organisms varied in time and space. These marine microbes also demonstrated strong ecological interactions such as competition or predation. The dissolved organic matter (DOM) was revealed to originate from various sources with production by phytoplankton being dominant. Laboratory based experiments were conducted to complement field observations and test different hypotheses, such as the effect of substrate organic stoichiometry on the growth of bacteria and their grazers, the effect of DOM produced by nutrient-stressed phytoplankton on the bacterioplankton dynamics or the factors limiting the natural microbial communities. These experiments highlighted the key role of bacteria within the microbial loop, efficiently regenerating DOM into inorganic nutrients, the importance of the quality and stoichiometry of the DOM in controlling bacterial growth. Additionally in these experiments, the manipulation of size-fractionated microbial food webs revealed the importance of micro-grazers in controlling the bacterioplankton dynamics. Finally, mathematical modelling was used to synthesise the field and experimental observations and to simulate ecological interactions concurrent to organic nutrient variations. An existing model was modified to include the bacterioplankton component as well as a more adequate DOM pool representation.

description: S stars are late-type giants with overabundances of s-process elements. They come in two flavours depending on the presence or not of technetium (Tc), an element without stable isotopes. Intrinsic S stars are Tc-rich and genuine asymptotic giant branch (AGB)stars while extrinsic S stars owe their s-process overabundances to the pollution from a former AGB companion, now a white dwarf(WD). In addition to Tc, another distinctive feature between intrinsic and extrinsic S stars is the overabundance of niobium (Nb) in the latter class. We discuss the case of the S stars BD+79 156 and o1Ori whose specificity is to share the distinctive features of both intrinsic and extrinsic S stars, namely the presence of Tc along with a Nb overabundance. BD+79 156 is the first clear case of a bitrinsic star, i.e. a doubly s-process-enriched object, first through mass transfer in a binary system, and then through internal nucleosynthesis (responsible for the Tc-enrichment in BD+79 156 which must therefore have reached the AGB phase of its evolution). This hybrid nature of the s-process pattern in BD+79 156 is supported by its binary nature and its location in the HR diagram just beyond the onset of the third dredge-up on the AGB. The Tc-rich, binary S-star o1Ori with a WD companion was another long-standing candidate for a similar hybrid s-process enrichment. However the marginal overabundance of Nb derived ino1Ori does not allow to trace unambiguously the evidence of a large pollution coming from the AGB progenitor of its current WD companion. As a side product, the current study offers a new way of detecting binary AGB stars with WD companions by identifying their Tc-rich nature along with a Nb overabundance.

description: We study the formation of clusters of galaxies using high-resolution hydrodynamic cosmological simulations that include the effect of thermal conduction with an effective isotropic conductivity of 1/3 the classical Spitzer value. We find that, both for a hot ($T_{\rm ew}\simeq 12$ keV) and several cold ($T_{\rm ew}\simeq 2$ keV) galaxy clusters, the baryonic fraction converted into stars does not change significantly when thermal conduction is included. However, the temperature profiles are modified, particularly in our simulated hot system, where an extended isothermal core is readily formed. As a consequence of heat flowing from the inner regions of the cluster both to its outer parts and into its innermost resolved regions, the entropy profile is altered as well. This effect is almost negligible for the cold cluster, as expected based on the strong temperature dependence of the conductivity. Our results demonstrate that while thermal conduction can have a significant influence on the properties of the intra--cluster medium of rich galaxy clusters, it appears unlikely to provide by itself a solution for the overcooling problem in clusters, or to explain the current discrepancies between the observed and simulated properties of the intra--cluster medium.

description: We theoretically show that spontaneously interlayer-coherent bilayer quantum Hall droplets should allow robust and fault-tolerant pseudospin quantum computation in semiconductor nanostructures with voltage-tuned external gates providing qubit control and a quantum Ising Hamiltonian providing qubit entanglement. Using a spin-boson model we estimate decoherence to be small $(\sim 10^{-5})$.

description: We calculate the long-range Vanderwaals force and the photoelectric cross section in a \nc set up. While we argue that non-commutativity effects could not be discerned for the Vanderwaals interactions, the result for the photoelectric effect shows deviation from the usual commutative one, which in principle can be used to put bounds on the space-space non-commutativity parameter.

title: Role and Mechanism of Action of Exonic Splicing Regulatory Sequences
Creators: name: Goina, Elisa
Publisher: name: The Open University

description: Exonic mutations can result in altered protein function by affecting exon recognition during splicing. To understand this mechanism I have extensively evaluated the exonic regulatory elements affected by the disease G to T mutation at position +6 of BRCA1 exon 18. This substitution induces the exclusion of the exon and it has been suggested that it disrupts an ASF/SF2-dependent enhancer. Using a pulldown assay with an internal standard, I show that WT and T6 sequences bind ASF/SF2 with similar efficiency, which is significantly lower compared to the binding to a typical enhancer derived from the fibronectin EDA exon. Consistent with the absence of an ASF/SF2 enhancing effect, siRNA depletion of ASF/SF2 did not induce exon WT exclusion indicating that ASF/SF2 is not essential for BRCA1 exon 18 splicing. However, depletion or overexpression of ASF/SF2 resulted in a decrease or increase of T6 exon 18 inclusion, respectively. By a series of exonic deletions in the WT and T6 BRCA1 minigenes, an enhancer sequence was identified in position 23-32 which mediates the observed T6-specific, ASF/SF2-dependent splicing activation. Furthermore, extensive mutations analysis indicated that the T6 mutant creates a sequence with a predominantly inhibitory function. Double site-directed mutations showed that the point mutations affecting the “TAG” sequence, between +6 and +8 positions, completely restore normal splicing. Indeed, RNA protein interaction and siRNA experiments showed that the skipping of T6 BRCA1 exon 18 is due to the creation of a silencer element. This sequence specifically binds to the proteins hnRNP A1/A2 and to DAZAP1. By siRNA experiments, DAZAP1 and hnRNP A1/A2 are shown to be involved redundantly in the regulation of the defective BRCA1 exon 18. The present results support a gain-of-function model for the BRCA1 T6 exon 18 and indicate that the binding of the hnRNP A1/A2 and DAZAP1 is the primary determinant of exon skipping.

description: Background: Mental and behavioral disorders are responsible for the largest proportion of the global burden of disease; yet, there is sound evidence that the prevalence of these disorders is variable worldwide. Indeed, such disorders are highly inconsistent in Manizales, Colombia when compared to national data. Objective: This study aims at describing the prevalence of behavioral and mental disorders in Manizales, Colombia. Methods: This is an observational, descriptive and cross-sectional study. Results: Findings suggest that a total of 30.3% of all participants displayed behavioral and emotional disorders with onset usually occurring in childhood and adolescence, 28% showed disorders of psychological development, followed by mood [affective] disorders (11%), organic, including symptomatic, mental disorders (9.3%), mental retardation (7.2%), symptoms and signs involving cognition, perception, emotional state and behavior (6.8%). An additional finding of this study was that disorders of psychological development are highly prevalent in females. Conclusion: This article highlights the need for and importance of longitudinal studies focused on early-onset disorders. These studies need to begin during infancy to truly capture the prodromal period for early-onset disorders.

description: In conventional parton showers (including ones based on dipoles/antennae), a given $(\mathrm{Born}+m)$-parton configuration can typically be reached via ${\mathcal O}(m!)$ different "shower histories". In the context of matrix-element-correction and merging procedures, accounting for these histories mandates fairly complex and resource-intensive algorithms. A so far little-explored alternative in the shower context is to divide the branching phase spaces into distinct "sectors", each of which only receives contributions from a single branching kernel. This has a number of consequences including making the shower operator bijective; i.e., each parton configuration now has a single unique "inverse". As a first step towards developing a full-fledged matrix-element-correction and merging procedure based on such showers, we here extend the sector approach for antenna showers to hadron-hadron collisions, including mass and helicity dependence.
