Omorgus suberosus

description: Omorgus suberosus (Fabricius, 1775)
UNITED STATES OF AMERICA: TEXAS; BRAZIL: TOCANTINS. Omorgus suberosus is an abundant, generalist species, ubiquitous throughout the New World (Vaurie, 1962), and adventive and widespread in Australasia, Oceania and the Oriental Region (Cartwright & Gordon, 1971; Miquel, 2019; Scholtz, 1986b). Specimens were collected in two Texan caves, in one of the caves on bat guano (Kohls and Jellison, 1948). Slay et al. (2012: 196) considered these to be “ accidental collections. ” Muñiz Vélez (2001) reported fragments of several Omorgus suberosus individuals from an archaeological site inside a Mexican cave, while Costa-Silva et al. (2021) reported a specimen, bearing a label with the locality ‘Casa de Pedra Cave,’ in central Brazil, but without ecobiological remarks. We consider these also to be incidental occurrences.

description: Background: The incidence of neurological disorders is increasing due to population growth and extended life expectancy. Despite advances in the understanding of these disorders, curative strategies for treatment have not yet eventuated. In part, this is due to the complexities of the disorders and a lack of identification of their specific underlying pathologies. Dictyostelium dis-coideum has provided a useful, simple model to aid in unraveling the complex pathological characteristics of neurological disorders including Alzheimer’s disease, Parkinson’s disease, Huntington’s disease, neuronal ceroid lipofuscinoses and lissencephaly. In addition, D. discoideum has proven to be an innovative model for pharmaceutical research in the neurological field. Scope of review: This review describes the contributions of D. discoideum in the field of neurological research. The contin-ued exploration of proteins implicated in neurological disorders in D. discoideum may elucidate their pathological roles and fast-track curative therapeutics.

description: To review the literature on the effects of vestibular training on motor function and balance in children and youth with cerebral palsy. Eight databases (MEDLINE-PubMed, PEDro, Cochrane Library, OTSeeker, Web of Science, Scopus Database, CINAHL and SPORTDiscus.) were searched up to May 15th, 2023. Studies comparing vestibular training with other types of interventions. The DerSimonian and Laird method was employed using random effects models to calculate the pooled estimate of the effect size with confidence intervals of 95%. The risk of bias was assessed with the Cochrane Collaboration’s tool and the Grading of Recommendations Assessment, Development and Evaluation approach was used to judge the certainty of the evidence for all outcomes. Eight studies were included comprising 226 participants with cerebral palsy. The meta-analyses demonstrated significant standardized mean differences in favor of vestibular training program compared to other technique(s) for Gross Motor Function Measure (−0.471; 95% confidence intervals: −0.919 to −0.023) and balance (−0.546; 95% confidence intervals: −0.916 to −0.176). Vestibular training has potential benefits in the short-term as a therapeutic approach for improving gross motor function and the balance in children and youth with cerebral palsy, but further research is needed.

description: In recent years, finite element analysis (FEA) models of different porous scaffold shapes consisting of various materials have been developed to predict the mechanical behaviour of the scaffolds and to address the initial goals of 3D printing. Although mechanical properties of polymeric porous scaffolds are determined through FEA, studies on the polymer nanocomposite porous scaffolds are limited. In this paper, FEA with the integration of material designer and representative volume elements (RVE) was carried out on a 3D scaffold model to determine the mechanical properties of boron nitride nanotubes (BNNTs)-reinforced gelatin (G) and alginate (A) hydrogel. The maximum stress regions were predicted by FEA stress distribution. Furthermore, the analysed material model and the boundary conditions showed minor deviation (4%) compared to experimental results. It was noted that the stress regions are detected at the zone close to the pore areas. These results indicated that the model used in this work could be beneficial in FEA studies on 3D-printed porous structures for tissue engineering applications.

description: Omorgus batesi (Harold, 1872)
(Fig. 1E)
BRAZIL: PARÁ. A number of specimens were collected from bat guano in a cave (Correa et al., 2022). In the opinion of Correa et al. (2022), this species may truly be associated with caves. We agree and consider Omorgus batesi as a troglophile and bat-guanophile.

description: Endogenous retroviruses (ERVs) are the remnants of past retroviral infections that once invaded the host’s germline and were vertically transmitted. ERV sequences have been reported in mammals, but their distribution and diversity in cervids are unclear. Using next-generation sequencing, we identified a nearly complete genome of an endogenous betaretrovirus in fallow deer (Dama dama). Further genomic analysis showed that this provirus, tentatively named cervid endogenous betaretrovirus 1 (CERV β1), has typical betaretroviral genome features (gag-pro-pol-env) and the betaretrovirus-specific dUTPase domain. In addition, CERV β1 pol sequences were detected by PCR in the six non-native deer species with wild populations in Australia. Phylogenetic analyses demonstrated that CERV β1 sequences from subfamily Cervinae clustered as sister taxa to ERV-like sequences in species of subfamily Muntiacinae. These findings, therefore, suggest that CERV β1 endogenisation occurred after the split of these two subfamilies (between 3.3 and 5 million years ago). Our results provide important insights into the evolution of betaretroviruses in cervids.

description: The Web of Data, the Internet of Things, and Industry 4.0 are converging, and society is challenged to ensure that appropriate regulatory responses can uphold the rule of law fairly and effectively in this emerging context. The challenge extends beyond merely submitting digital processes to the law. We contend that the 20th century notion of ‘legal order’ alone will not be suitable to produce the social order that the law should bring. The article explores the concepts of rule of law and of legal governance in digital and blockchain environments. We position legal governance from an empirical perspective, i.e., as an explanatory and validation concept to support the implementation of the rule of law in the new digital environments. As a novel contribution, this article (i) progresses some of the work done on the metarule of law and complements the SMART middle-out approach with an inside-out approach to digital regulatory systems and legal compliance models; (ii) sets the state-of-the-art and identifies the way to explain and validate legal information flows and hybrid agents’ behaviour; (iii) describes a phenomenological and historical approach to legal and political forms; and (iv) shows the utility of separating enabling and driving regulatory systems.

description: Trox perrisii Fairmaire, 1868
AUSTRIA; FRANCE. Numerous instances of specimens from woodpecker nests secondarily occupied by starlings or “ bats ” [sic!] were reported by Petrovitz (1969: 104). From Petrovitz’s short report it cannot confidently be concluded that the associated vertebrates were bats indeed: it may have been only birds, or both birds and bats. Byk et al. (2019) comprehensively reviewed the ecology of Trox perrisii without adding any information about this species being associated with either bats or caves, besides misinterpreting Petrovitz’s (1969) report therein that they categorically stated that Petrovitz’s woodpecker hollows were secondarily occupied by bats, not birds. We disagree that such a bat association can be confirmed from existing literature. Byk et al. (2019) confirmed that this beetle species inhabits the nests of several bird species, as well as hollows in trees, with or without bird inhabitants. Trox nidicola Bonnaire, 1881 is a junior synonym of Trox perrisii: the description of this nominal species was based on a small number of specimens found among debris in a bird nest in a tree hollow (Bonnaire, 1881). There is—in our view—no unambiguous evidence that Trox perrisii is associated either with caves or with bat guano. We suggest that Trox perrisii be deleted from the corpus of bat-guano-associated Trogidae. The species does seem to be bird-guano-associated. It is not a troglophile.

description: In recent years, men and masculinities in Southeast Asia has begun to receive more attention from scholars as the result of increasing attention to intersections of race, gender space, colonialism, and place in countries such as Vietnam. This article provides an overview of current research on men and masculinities in Vietnam. It finds research on Vietnamese masculinities is predominantly understood through (i) concepts of Confucianism, with a particular focus on traditional ideas about gender and gender relations in kinship structures; (ii) considerations of Vietnamese masculinities post Đổi Mới (Renovation) and the impact of women's engagement in the labor market; and (iii) a focus on men as “at risk” or vulnerable, including a focus on alcohol consumption and engagement in domestic violence. We highlight limited focus in areas of sexuality and sexual practices, reflexive engagements with concepts of masculinity, focus on men residing in urban centres, considerations of bodywork and body project practices, and an overall Western approach to the study of masculinity in Vietnam. We conclude with a call for further research on men and masculinities in Vietnam framed through postcolonial epistemologies and research methodologies.

description: Background: Gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) is the fastest growing type of diabetes in Australia with rates trebling over the past decades partially explained by rising obesity rates and maternal age among childbearing women. Percentage of GDM attributable to obesity has been documented, mostly focusing on metropolitan populations. In parts of regional (areas outside capital cities) and rural Australia where overweight, obesity and morbid obesity are more prevalent, intertwined with socioeconomic disadvantage and higher migrant communities, trends over time in adjusted percentages of GDM attributed to obesity are unknown. Methods: In this population-based retrospective panel study, women, without pre-existing diabetes, delivering singletons between 2010 and 2017 in a tertiary regional hospital that serves 26% of Victoria’s 6.5 million Australian population were eligible for inclusion. Secular trends in GDM by body mass index (BMI) and age were evaluated. The percentage of GDM that would have been prevented each year with the elimination of overweight or obesity was estimated using risk-adjusted regression-based population attributable fractions (AFp). Trends in the AFp over time were tested using the augmented Dickey-Fuller test. Results: Overall 7348 women, contributing to 10,028 births were included. The age of expecting mothers, their BMI, proportion of women born overseas, and GDM incidence significantly rose over time with GDM rising from 3.5% in 2010 to 13.7% in 2017, p < 0.001, increasing in all BMI categories. The incidence was consistently highest among women with obesity (13.8%) and morbid obesity (21.6%). However, the highest relative increase was among women with BMI < 25 kg/m2, rising from 1.4% in 2010 to 7.0% in 2017. Adjusting for age, country of birth, socioeconomic status, comorbidities, antenatal and intrapartum factors, an estimated 8.6% (confidence interval (CI) 6.1–11.0%), 15.6% (95% CI 12.2–19.0%), and 19.5% (95% CI 15.3–23.6%) of GDM would have been prevented by eliminating maternal overweight, obesity, and morbid obesity, respectively. However, despite the rise in obesity over time, percentages of GDM attributable to overweight, obesity, and morbid obesity significantly dropped over time. Scenario analyses supported these findings. Conclusions: Besides increasing prevalence of obesity over time, this study suggests that GDM risk factors, other than obesity, are also increasing over time.

description: Patisiran and inotersen are two therapies approved for the treatment of hereditary transthyretin-mediated (hATTR) amyloidosis with polyneuropathy, a rapidly progressive disease with a substantial clinical burden. This analysis indirectly compares the efficacy of patisiran and inotersen on neuropathy and quality of life (QOL). Published results from the NEURO-TTR study of inotersen and individual patient data from the APOLLO study of patisiran were used. Indirect comparisons were conducted for 15-month changes in neuropathy and QOL endpoints: modified Neuropathy Impairment Score +7 (mNIS+7Ionis,), Norfolk Quality of Life-Diabetic Neuropathy (Norfolk QOL-DN) questionnaire, body mass index (BMI), and Polyneuropathy Disability (PND) score. Analyses were conducted under different assumptions about the impact of missing data and to adjust for baseline differences between studies. Patisiran showed significantly greater treatment effects than inotersen for mNIS+7Ionis (mean difference: −12.3 [95% confidence interval: −21.4, −3.3]), Norfolk QOL-DN (−11.3 [−19.8, −2.9]), and BMI (1.0 [0.4, 1.7]). The proportion of patients with improvement or no change from baseline on PND score was higher for patisiran-treated patients (odds ratio: 8.9 [4.6, 17.5]). Results were consistent and robust across analyses and methods. Patisiran demonstrated greater treatment effects on neuropathy and QOL than inotersen in patients with hATTR amyloidosis with polyneuropathy.

description: The inductive effect is a central concept in chemistry and is often exemplified by the pKa values of acetic acid derivatives. The reduction in pKa is canonically attributed to the reduction in the electron density of the carboxylate group through the inductive effect. However, wave functional theory calculations presented herein reveal that the charge density of the carboxylate group is not explained by the inductive effect. For a series of trihaloacetates (trichloro–, chlorodifluoro– and trifluoro–) we find that the trichloro group has the greatest reduction on the charge density of the carboxylate oxygen atoms; change in charge density is inversely related to substituent electronegativity. These puzzling results are experimentally supported by investigating three independent systems: literature gas phase acidities, specific ion effects in a model thermoresponsive polymer system, and nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy of haloalkanes. Changes in the solubility of poly(N-isopropylacrylamide), PNIPAM, due to the presence of different (substituted) acetates allow ionic charge densities to be examined. These studies confirmed the unexpected charge density and substituent–electronegativity relationship. Further analysis of the literature showed anomalous charge densities for haloalkanes with 13C NMR spectroscopy and gas phase acidity of polyatomic acids. In summary, these independent results show that the induction effect does not explain pKa trends across the haloacetic acids.

subject: Video games
subject: Virtual ethnography

description: This thesis follows a group of gamers who regularly play StarCraft II together, and explores how gaming communities are created, sustained, and dissolved in cyberspace. Offered first is an introduction to the StarCraft franchise, websites dedicated to custom content creation, and the unique technical requirements of online gaming. Next, arcade maps and StarCraft II as an eSport are specifically investigated to demonstrate how content creators and professional players are key to the sustainability of online games. Finally, examples of cultural and technological catalysts of and barriers to community building are provided, with an extended focus on national cultures, the relationship between consumers and producers, and the permeability of online communities. Using primarily qualitative methods, including participant observation, interviews, and textual analysis, this research illustrates how online gaming communities are both inclusionary and exclusionary, homogenous and diverse, but ultimately constrained by the limitations of modern technology and the actions of game producers and developers.

description: Forward error correction enables reliable one-way communication over noisy channels by transmitting redundant data along with the message in order to detect and resolve errors at the receiver. Low-density parity-check (LDPC) codes achieve superior error-correction performance using belief propagation (BP) decoding. However, the computational complexity of a BP decoder is O(q2) operations for each checksum calculation, where q represents number of symbols in the underlying Galois field. The complexity is reduced by transforming the operations into the log and frequency domains. This thesis explores how a GPU implementation of a Log-domain FFT based LDPC decoder performs in comparison to a CPU implementation for regular MacKay construction. Numerical results show that the GPU implementation is about twice as fast as the CPU implementation. The thesis also studies the performance of GPU implementations of a Quasi-cyclic LDPC decoder for WIFI (IEEE 802.11n) and WIMAX (IEEE 802.16e) LDPC codes.

title: The Conditions Enabling Members of the Conflicting Parties, the Red Shirts and the Yellow Shirts, to Collaborate in Promoting the Concept of Self-Governance in Chiang Mai, Thailand, in 2009-2010

subject: Concept of self-governance in Chiang Mai

description: This thesis examines the conditions leading to the collaboration between the Red Shirts and the Yellow Shirts in Chiang Mai, Thailand through what is known as “Peaceful Homeland Network: PHN” during high tension of political color-coded conflict in 2009. The research findings indicate that there were six interrelated conditions which led to the collaboration. First, the third- party intervention proved to be critical for the collaboration. Beyond impartiality, in this case, two third-party insiders who were involved with the political conflict, had played significant roles particularly in initiating the collaboration. Second, a democratic atmosphere encouraged individuals to take part in the collaboration despite security risks. Third, the prolonged conflict had affected the Chiang Mai natives for years which encouraged them to collaborate and end the struggle of conflict. Fourth, the identity and political involvement of specific individuals influenced their decisions whether to collaborate or not. Fifth, the conflicting parties’ willing participation was vital for the collaboration. Finally, the parties realized that they had a shared vision which motivated them to continue their work for PHN on behalf of their constituents. Additionally, by recognizing PHN’s effective role in alleviating violent incidents, conflicting parties remained engaged with PHN. In addition, this thesis investigates why some disputants denied the PHN. The analysis reveals that there were four conditions leading some actors to decline to collaborate. First, some argued that the stakeholder identification process was not inclusive. Second, the timing of the collaboration did not befit some conflicting parties particularly those who were emerging leaders of the conflicting groups. Third, lack of trust was a great concern for some members of the Yellow Shirts including “fear of being labeled from the group as a traitor,” a condition which prevented some disputants from taking part in the PHN. Lastly, some believed that another approach would be more effective to deal with the political color-coded conflict.

description: Ultra-short-period exoplanets like K2-141 b likely have magma oceans on their dayside, which play a critical role in redistributing heat within the planet. This could lead to a warm nightside surface, measurable by the James Webb Space Telescope, offering insights into the planet's structure. Accurate models of properties like viscosity, which can vary by orders of magnitude, are essential for such studies.
We present a new model for predicting molten magma viscosity, applicable in diverse scenarios, including magma oceans on lava planets. Using a database of 28,898 viscosity measurements on phospho-alumino-silicate melts, spanning superliquidus to undercooled temperatures and pressures up to 30 GPa, we trained a greybox artificial neural network, refined by a Gaussian process. This model achieves high predictive accuracy (RMSE ≈0.4log10 Pa⋅s) and can handle compositions from SiO2 to multicomponent magmatic and industrial glasses, accounting for pressure effects up to 30 GPa for compositions such as peridotite.
Applying this model, we calculated the viscosity of K2-141 b's magma ocean under different compositions. Phase diagram calculations suggest that the dayside is fully molten, with extreme temperatures primarily controlling viscosity. A tenuous atmosphere (0.1 bar) might exist around a 40° radius from the substellar point. At higher longitudes, atmospheric pressure drops, and by 90°, magma viscosity rapidly increases as solidification occurs. The nightside surface is likely solid, but previously estimated surface temperatures above 400 K imply a partly molten mantle, feeding geothermal flux through vertical convection.

description: Research on the relationship between chronic stress and cognition is limited by a lack of concurrent measurement of state-anxiety, physiological arousal, and gender. For the first time, we assessed the impact of these factors on top-down/conscious (simple and choice reaction time) and bottom-up/reflexive (saccadic reaction time) measures of attention using CONVIRT virtual-reality cognitive tests. Participants (N = 163) completed measures of academic stress (effort-reward imbalance; ERI) and state-anxiety while heart-rate variability was recorded continuously throughout the experiment. Gender moderated the association between academic stress with the top-down measures (b = -0.002, t = -2.023, p =.045; b = -0.063, t = -3.080, p =.002) and higher academic stress was associated with poorer/slower reaction times only for male participants. For bottom-up attention, heart rate variability moderated the relationship between academic stress and saccadic reaction time (b = 0.092, t = 1.991, p =.048), and only female participants who were more stressed (i.e., ERI ≥ 1) and displayed stronger sympathetic dominance had slower reaction times. Our findings align with emerging evidence that chronic stress is related to hyperarousal in women and cognitive decrements in men. Our findings suggest that higher ERI and sympathetic dominance during cognitive testing was associated with poorer bottom-up attention in women, whereas for men, academic stress was related with poorer top-down attention irrespective of sympathovagal balance.

description: The dominant organisms in modern oxic ecosystems rely on respiratory quinones with high redox potential (HPQs) for electron transport in aerobic respiration and photosynthesis. The diversification of quinones, from low redox potential in anaerobes to HPQs in aerobes, is assumed to have followed Earth’s surface oxygenation ∼2.3 billion years ago. However, the evolutionary origins of HPQs remain unresolved. Here, we reconstruct the biosynthetic pathway of a novel HPQ, methyl-plastoquinone, that is unique to bacteria of the phylum Nitrospirota. We demonstrate that the three extant HPQ biosynthetic pathways, in Nitrospirota, Cyanobacteriota, and Pseudomonadota, share a common origin that predates the emergence of these phyla. We show that aerobic metabolism using HPQs is ancestral to Cyanobacteriota and Pseudomonadota and significantly predates Earth’s surface oxygenation.

description: Chemical warfare agents (CWAs) are amongst the deadliest known chemicals. Despite international agreements which ban their use, threats posed by CWAs remain high, especially considering recent global events.1, 2 Although commonly referred to as poison gases, CWAs are most often liquids, which exhibit degradation half-lives on the order of days to several weeks, depending on conditions, classifying them as persistent threats.3 Therefore, following their dispersion, the most likely mode of exposure an individual will encounter is contact with residual agent on a contaminated surface. To reduce the risk, this research incorporated novel catalytic additives into commercial military urethane coatings, thereby imparting continuous self-decontamination to any paintable surface. An ideal self-decontaminating coating must quickly detoxify harmful surface residing chemical agents, maintain the integrity of the original surface and be cost effective. Novel organic and organometallic additives were designed, synthesized and incorporated into commercial resin systems at low loadings. Additives selected for the investigation included fullerene, cyclodextrin, and polyoxometalate compounds. CWA simulants employed in the examination of surface reactivity included 2-chloroethyl ethyl sulfide, 2-chloroethyl phenyl sulfide, Demeton-S and Malathion. Upon illumination with visible light, the fullerene containing coatings exhibited photocatalytic degradation of CWA simulants on the surface, which resulted in oxidation by-products. Continuously active, catalytic self-decontaminating coating surfaces with activity against CWA simulants were developed and demonstrated without significant alterations to the coating’s physical properties.

description: This report gives an overview of possible Authentication and Authorization Infrastructure (AAI) systems in place for digital services as provided by the Research Infrastructures in the IRISCC landscape. It includes an analysis if these AAI systems are already connected to a federated AAI service or fit to be connected. The target is that all digital services with AAI in IRISCC become federated through EGI Check-in, which serves as federated AAI service for EOSC. For the second group, a cookbook is provided on how to connect their AAI service to EGI Check-in. There are also AAI systems in use which are not yet fit for such a federation. Therefore, the cookbook includes recommendations to set-up and deploy a new local AAI service, using KeyCloak, that then will be fit for EGI Check-in federation.

description: Background: Injuries arising from Road Traffic Crashes (RTCs) are a major health problem in Saudi Arabia (SA). The purpose of the study was to determine the feasibility of conducting a multi-center research study to explore factors that influence the mortality of RTC-related trauma patients in SA. Methods: A multi-center observational study was undertaken involving both prospective and retrospective data collected from three hospitals. In-hospital patient mortality thirty days post-crash was the primary outcome variable. The feasibility of the study methods including the quality of data were evaluated and pilot results pertaining to factors predicting mortality were examined. Results: The overall mortality rate (n = 572 RTC victims) was (7.5%). A logistic regression model identified four independent predictors of mortality following an RTC: treatment at a non-trauma center-based hospital, SBP ≤ 90 mmHg, GCS ≤ 8, and ISS ≥ 20. With respect to the assessment of the study method’s feasibility, missing data was problematic, especially for variables pertaining to crash characteristics and prehospital care. Conclusions: Collecting multi-center injury data in SA has logistic challenges, predominantly associated with the comparability and completeness of data sets as well as the need for manual screening and data collection at some institutions. Despite these limitations, this study has demonstrated the feasibility of a method that could be utilized in further large nationwide studies to understand and examine the factors that influence injured patients’ outcomes following RTCs.
