description: AIM: To describe the prevalence and spatial distribution of cattle herds infected with Ikeda and non-Ikeda types of Theileria orientalis in New Zealand between November 2012 and June 2013.METHODS: Pooled serum samples collected historically between November 2012 and June 2013 were obtained from cattle herds throughout New Zealand. Each pooled sample consisted of approximately 20 individual cattle samples from that herd, and was provided with details of the spatial location of the herd (n=722). DNA from all samples was tested using two quantitative PCR assays for the detection of T. orientalis (all types) and the Ikeda type. The proportion of herds that were positive for T. orientalis and Ikeda type, or that were positive for T. orientalis but negative for Ikeda type (non-Ikeda positive) was determined for different regions of New Zealand.RESULTS: The highest prevalence of herds infected with Ikeda type was detected in the Northland (33/35; 94%) and Auckland and the Waikato (63/191; 33%) regions. Only 2/204 (1%) herds were positive for the Ikeda type in the South Island. A high percentage of herds that were positive for non-Ikeda types was detected in the Gisborne and Hawkes Bay (23 (95%CI=13–37)%), Auckland and Waikato (22 (95%CI=16–29)%) and Bay of Plenty (24 (95%CI=10–44)%) regions.CONCLUSIONS AND CLINICAL RELEVANCE: The high prevalence of Ikeda type detected in cattle herds in the Northland, Auckland and Waikato regions represents a risk to naive cattle being introduced into these regions. There is also the potential for resident cattle herds in the Gisborne and Hawkes Bay, Auckland, Waikato and Bay of Plenty regions to experience increased infection with the Ikeda type.The overall impact experienced by regions will depend on other factors such as the number of herds present and the predominant type of farming, as well as the interplay between tick ecology, cattle immunity and movement patterns of cattle.

description: Biosimilars are drugs developed to be highly similar to their originator biologic (or ‘reference medicinal product’) with no clinically meaningful differences in purity, efficacy or safety. Production of biologics and biosimilars is highly complex and sensitive, with any change in manufacturing process having a potential impact on efficacy and safety. This review provides an overview of the manufacturing process for these drugs and considers the implications of any process changes. The scientific rationale underlying the regulatory comparability exercise for process-changed reference medicinal products and biosimilars is also discussed, as is the issue of ‘switchability’ from a reference medicinal product to its biosimilar. CT-P13 (Remsima®, Inflectra®), a biosimilar of infliximab, is used as a case study to discuss these issues.

description: موانع نکاح در کتب فقهی تحت عنوان اسباب تحریم نکاح مطرح می گردد؛ اسباب تحریم نکاح اموری است که عدم آنها در نکاح شرط است و وجود آنها مانع صحت نکاح می گردد؛ در فقه اسلام و حقوق مدنی ایران، لعان به عنوان یکی از اسباب تحریم نکاح مطرح شده است؛ امروزه مردم جامعه تصور می کنند که لعان تنها در کتاب های حقوقی آمده و در زمره قوانین متروکی است که نقشی در زندگی اجتماعی ما ندارد اما زمانی مساله لعان در زندگی ما زمانی اهمیت پیدا می کند که مردی مدعی گردد همسر دایمی وی که مدخول بها می باشد با مرد دیگری مرتکب زنا گردیده و ادعا کند تنها خودش این عمل را مشاهده نموده و کسی دیگر شاهد آن نبوده؛ وبا توجه به اینکه راه های اثبات زنا بسیار دشوار است به این دلیل که احتمال وجود همزمان چهار شاهد مرد تقریبا غیر ممکن است یا در صورت وجود چهار شاهد کسی حاضر به ادعای شهادت نیست در این صورت شوهر به وسیله لعان حد قذف را از خود ساقط می کند؛ و همچنین زن نیز می تواند به وسیله لعان از حق خودش دفاع کند زیرا ممکن است شوهر به دلیل کینه توزی به آن تهمت زده باشد و به این وسیله از آن انتقام بگیرد؛ و با توجه به این که مهم ترین حکمت تشریع لعان این است که زن بتواند نسبت زنا را از خود ساقط کند و آبروی خود را حفظ کند؛ فلذا زن به وسیله لعان حد زنا را از خود ساقط می کند. همچنین عقدی که در حال احرام واقع می گردد باطل است چنانکه از احکام محرم معلوم می گردد نظر شارع اسلام آن بوده کسانیکه محرم هستند به امور دنیوی نپردازند. فلذا به این مساله می پردازیم که رجوع از لعان در نفی نسب چه حکمی دارد و اینکه آیا علم و جهل تاثیری در عقد در حال احرام دارد

description: Prompted by a new catalogue of M31 globular clusters, we have collected together individual metallicity values for globular clusters in the Local Group. Although we briefly describe the globular cluster systems of the individual Local Group galaxies, the main thrust of our paper is to examine the collective properties. In this way we are simulating the dissipationless merger of the Local Group, into presumably an elliptical galaxy. Such a merger is dominated by the Milky Way and M31, which appear to be fairly typical examples of globular cluster systems of spiral galaxies. The Local Group `Elliptical' has about 700 +/- 125 globular clusters, with a luminosity function resembling the `universal' one. The metallicity distribution has peaks at [Fe/H] ~ -1.55 and -0.64 with a metal-poor to metal-rich ratio of 2.5:1. The specific frequency of the Local Group Elliptical is initially about 1 but rises to about 3, when the young stellar populations fade and the galaxy resembles an old elliptical. The metallicity distribution and stellar population corrected specific frequency are similar to that of some known early type galaxies. Based on our results, we briefly speculate on the origin of globular cluster systems in galaxies.

description: Wissenschaftskommunikation als jene Kommunikation, bei der Wissenschaft und Gesellschaft miteinander über wissenschaftliche Fragestellungen in Austausch treten, gewinnt immer mehr an Bedeutung. Im Gegensatz zur internen Wissenschaftskommunikation, bei der Wissenschaft innerhalb von Fachcommunities kommuniziert (Science-to-Science), greifen bei der externen Wissenschaftskommunikation andere Mechanismen, Plattformen und Kommunikationsmethoden (Science-to-Public und Public-to-Science). Bedingt durch Soziale Medien ist die Hürde für den direkten Austausch und der Einstieg in Wissenschaftskommunikation für Forschende immer niedriger geworden. Es bedarf jedoch bestimmter methodischer, technischer und sozialer Kompetenzen, um diesen Austausch nicht nur anzustoßen, sondern aktiv in ihn einzutreten und ihn zu begleiten. Diese Kompetenzen sind bisher selten Teil wissenschaftlicher Ausbildung und auch nicht strukturiert erfasst und dargestellt. Mit Blick auf die eigenständige digitale Wissenschaftskommunikation, also jene digitale Wissenschaftskommunikation, die Forschende selbst gestalten, wird im Rahmen des Working Papers ein entsprechender Referenzrahmen entworfen.

description: Science communication, as the communication in which science and society enter into an exchange with each other about scientific problems, is becoming more and more important. In contrast to scholarly communication, where science communicates within scientific communities (science-to-science), science communication uses other mechanisms, platforms and communication methods (science-to-public and public-to-science). Due to social media, the barrier for direct exchange and entry into science communication has become lower and lower for scholars. However, certain methodological, technical and social competencies are needed not only to initiate this exchange, but also to actively enter into it and accompany it. So far, these competences have rarely been part of academic training and have not been recorded and presented in a structured way. With a focus on independent digital science communication, i. e. researchers creating their own digital communication formats, a corresponding reference framework will be developed in this working paper.

description: Venture capital (VC) is a relatively newly emergent industry that is still subject to large uncertainties in China. Therefore, building a robust social network with other VC institutions is a good way to share information, various resources, and benefit from skill and knowledge complementarity to against risks. Strong evidences indicate that better networked VC institutions are of a better financial performance, however, most of previous works overlook the evolution of VC institutions and only focus on some simple topology indicators of the static syndication network, which also neglects higher-order network structure and cannot give a comprehensive evaluation. In this paper, based on VC investment records in the Chinese market, we construct temporal syndication networks between VC institutions year by year. As k-shell decomposition considers higher-order connection patterns, we employ k-shell as an evaluation of the influence of VC institutions in syndication networks. By clustering time series of k-shell values, the VC institutions in China fall into five groups that are quite different from each other on financial performances and investment behaviors. This, in turn, proves the power of our method that only based on proper sequential network properties, we can reveal their financial investment performance. Compared to other network centrality measurements, k-shell is a better indicator that is indicated by a smaller intra-group distance and a larger inter-group distance.

description: Purpose. This paper examined urban household food demand patterns in Southwest, Nigeria using complement-substitution relationship. Methodology / approach. Through a multistage sampling technique, the study used cross sectional data of 445 households from two states in Southwest Nigeria which are representative of areas with a rapid rate of urbanisation. Quadratic Almost Ideal Demand System (QUAIDS) modeling framework was used to estimate the demand system for seven food groups considered. Results. The potential nutrition benefits of price and income changes in urban food groups was estimated, which explains the different quantity of food purchased by household as price changes. From the result, the root and tuber group accounted for the largest household food budget share (29.4 %) with the least share found in the legume group (3.3 %). Elasticity estimates revealed that the own-price effect was inelastic for all food groups. The uncompensated cross-price elasticities suggest both substitution and complementary association between groups. More substitution relationships were evident when households’ price changes are compensated. Originality / scientific novelty. This paper presents household’s responsiveness to food demanded through price effects with possible nutrition gap in urban diet. Practical value / implications. The complement and substitution relationship in household food price changes may be effective in changing urban consumer behavior towards healthier diets. Empirical knowledge of the complement and substitution effects would likely impact policy changes on household nutritional outcome. This is necessary as the scourge of malnutrition in increasing especially in urban areas.

description: Conventional dendritic cells (cDCs) include functionally and phenotypically diverse populations, such as cDC1s and cDC2s. The latter population has been variously subdivided into Notch-dependent cDC2s, KLF4-dependent cDC2s, T-bet+ cDC2As and T-bet- cDC2Bs, but it is unclear how all these subtypes are interrelated and to what degree they represent cell states or cell subsets. All cDCs are derived from bone marrow progenitors called pre-cDCs, which circulate through the blood to colonize peripheral tissues. Here, we identified distinct mouse pre-cDC2 subsets biased to give rise to cDC2As or cDC2Bs. We showed that a Siglec-H+ pre-cDC2A population in the bone marrow preferentially gave rise to Siglec-H- CD8α+ pre-cDC2As in tissues, which differentiated into T-bet+ cDC2As. In contrast, a Siglec-H- fraction of pre-cDCs in the bone marrow and periphery mostly generated T-bet- cDC2Bs, a lineage marked by the expression of LysM. Our results showed that cDC2A versus cDC2B fate specification starts in the bone marrow and suggest that cDC2 subsets are ontogenetically determined lineages, rather than cell states imposed by the peripheral tissue environment.

description: A novel series of 3-benzyl-substituted-4(3H)-quinazolinones were designed, synthesized and evaluated for their in vitro antitumor activity. The results of this study demonstrated that 2-(3-benzyl-6-methyl-4-oxo-3,4-dihydroquinazolin-2-ylthio)-N-(3,4,5-trimethoxyphenyl)acetamide, 2-(3-benzyl-6,7-dimethoxy-4-oxo-3,4-dihydroquinazolin-2-ylthio)-N-(3,4,5-trimethoxyphenyl)acetamide and 3-(3-benzyl-6-methyl-4-oxo-3,4-dihydroquinazolin-2-ylthio)-N-(3,4,5-trimethoxyphenyl)-propanamide have shown amazing broad spectrum antitumor activity with mean GI50 (10.47, 7.24 and 14.12 µM. respectively), and are nearly 1.5–3.0-fold more potent compared with the positive control 5-FU with mean GI50, 22.60 µM. On the other hand, compounds 6 and 10 yielded selective activities toward CNS, renal and breast cancer cell lines, whereas compound 9 showed selective activities towards leukemia cell lines. Molecular docking methodology was performed for compounds 7 and 8 into ATP binding site of EGFR-TK which showed similar binding mode to erlotinib, while compound 11 into ATP binding site of B-RAF kinase inhibited the growth of melanoma cell lines through inhibition of B-RAF kinase, similar to PLX4032.

description: In this paper, we study how to find maximal k-edge-connected subgraphs from a large graph. k-edge-connected subgraphs can be used to capture closely related vertices, and finding such vertex clusters is interesting in many applications, e. g., social network analysis, bioinformatics, web link research. Compared with other explicit structures for modeling vertex clusters, such as quasi-clique, k-core, which only set the requirement on vertex degrees, k-edge-connected subgraph further requires high connectivity within a subgraph (a stronger requirement), and hence defines a more closely related vertex cluster. To find maximal k-edge-connected subgraphs from a graph, a basic approach is to repeatedly apply minimum cut algorithm to the connected components of the input graph until all connected components are k-connected. However, the basic approach is very expensive if the input graph is large. To tackle the problem, we propose three major techniques: vertex reduction, edge reduction and cut pruning. These speed-up techniques are applied on top of the basic approach. We conduct extensive experiments and show that the speed-up techniques are very effective.

description: Schizothoracine fish commonly called snow trouts inhibit the entire network of snow and spring fed cool waters of Kashmir, India. Over 10 species reported earlier, only five species have been found, these include Schizothorax niger, Schizothorax esocinus, Schizothorax plagiostomus, Schizothorax curvifrons and Schizothorax labiatus. The relationship between these species is contradicting. To understand the evolutionary relation of these species, we examined the sequence information of mitochondrial D-loop of 25 individuals representing five species. Sequence alignment showed D-loop region highly variable and length variation was observed in di-nucleotide (TA)n microsatellite between and within species. Interestingly, all these species have (TA)n microsatellite not associated with longer tandem repeats at the 3′ end of the mitochondrial control region and do not show heteroplasmy. Our analysis also indicates the presence of four conserved sequence blocks (CSB), CSB-D, CSB-1, CSB-II and CSB-III, four (Termination Associated Sequence) TAS motifs and 15bp pyrimidine block within the mitochondrial control region, that are highly conserved within genus Schizothorax when compared with other species. The phylogenetic analysis carried by Maximum likelihood (ML), Neighbor Joining (NJ) and Bayesian inference (BI) generated almost identical results. The resultant BI tree showed a close genetic relationship of all the five species and supports two distinct grouping of S. esocinus species. Besides the species relation, the presence of length variation in tandem repeats is attributed to differences in predicting the stability of secondary structures. The role of CSBs and TASs, reported so far as main regulatory signals, would explain the conservation of these elements in evolution.

For all five text types, the F1 values increase due to these optimization measures, for example from 0.65 to 0.77. For adventure novel, Bildungsroman and comedy, the F1 values increase, for example, from 0.79 to 0.91. The classification of adventure novel versus drama and of comedy versus adventure and Bildungsroman succeeds without errors (ARI=1).

According to the established data model, it is obviously that China’s agricultural production of land factor endowment constraints are obvious, labor factor endowment is abundant but also facing the problem of increasing costs, labor personnel gradually decline. In this case, technological progress is more critical to the cultivation and maintenance of comparative advantage of agricultural products. The government should guide the direction of technological changes, technical support, capital support (material capital and human capital); and promote the rapid development of China’s agricultural trade. Originality / scientific novelty. Author’s developed econometric model is very useful in empirical assessment for the China agricultural products trade development, and it also provides new decisions for China to develop agricultural trade. Accordingly, the proposed method can provide an answer to the question of how to develop traditional agriculture in the context of rapid economic changes, and put forward more practical countermeasures. Practical value / significance. The main proposals can be used by the Government of China to formulate better agricultural trade policies and achieve rapid economic growth and increasing farmer incomes.

description: This paper evaluates the ethics behind the actions of Facebook leading up to and after the joint Facebook-Cambridge Analytica data scandal that involved the 2016 Presidential Candidate Donald Trump. Facebook, Inc. is a massive tech conglomerate, most commonly known for its social media platform Facebook, as well as its ownership of Instagram, Messenger, and Whatsapp. Cambridge Analytica was a political consulting firm that specialized in leveraging data mining techniques in order to help their clients expand potential voter bases. The scandal involved Cambridge Analytica’s exploitation of the raw data of over 87 million Facebook profiles that Facebook negligently protected. The scandal occurred privately from 2013 to 2016, with news finally breaking to the public in March of 2018 when a former Cambridge Analytica employee, Christopher Wylie, blew the whistle to the Guardian and the New York Times. This paper shows where the ethical breakdowns occured within Facebook and explores the company’s responsibility in relation to the scandal. Facebook repeatedly violated their own Code of Conduct and their own Data Policies when they became lax with the handling of user data in respect to 3rd parties. This scandal began a global discussion on protecting the public from the weaponization of private consumer data as well as exploring the need for potential regulations on Big Tech.

description: In dieser Studie wird ein automatisierter Ansatz zum Record Linkage in prosopographischen Datenbeständen vorgestellt. In ihm sind zahlreiche genealogische Regeln zur Verknüpfung von Personen implementiert. Dadurch ist er besonders für Datenbestände geeignet, die zu den abgebildeten Individuen viele genealogisch relevante Informationen bereithalten. Dazu wird eine normierte Datenstruktur definiert, in die die Eingangsdaten einzuordnen sind. Der Algorithmus erkennt innerhalb dieser Datenstruktur Einträge zu gleichen Personen und führt diese automatisch zusammen. In diesem Zuge wird eine Formalisierung von genealogischen Heuristiken vorgenommen. Die Funktionsfähigkeit des Algorithmus wird am Beispiel historischer Datenbestände aus Leipzig erfolgreich dargestellt. Der Programmcode ist in Python realisiert worden und frei verfügbar.
description: In this study, an automated approach to record linkage in prosopographic datasets is presented. It implements numerous genealogical rules for linking individuals. This makes it particularly suitable for datasets that contain a lot of genealogically relevant information about the represented individuals. For this purpose, a standardized data structure is defined into which the input data is to be arranged. The algorithm recognizes entries pertaining to the same persons within this data structure and merges them automatically. In this process, a formalization of genealogical heuristics is performed. The functionality of the algorithm is successfully demonstrated using historical datasets from the city of Leipzig as an example. The program code has been realized in Python and is freely available.

description: Background: Macrophages are heterogeneous cells, which possess pleotropic effector and immunoregulatory functions. The phenotypic diversity of macrophages is best exemplified by the ability of IL-4 or IL-13, two key cytokines in asthma to promote macrophages into a suppressive/anti-inflammatory phenotype (e.g. alternatively activated or M2) whereas exposure to IFN-γ followed by microbial trigger renders macrophages pro-inflammatory (e.g. classically activated or M1). Intriguingly, only limited data exists regarding the expression of miRNA in M2 macrophages. Objective: To define the miRNA profile of M2 and M1 macrophages. Methods: Bone marrow-derived macrophages were activated to classically and alternatively activated states using IL-4, IL-13 or IFN-γ followed by Escherichia coli stimulation. Thereafter, an unbiased miRNA “mining” approach was utilized and the expression of several miRNAs was validated following in-vitro and in-vivo macrophage activation (qPCR). miR-511 over-expression was performed followed by global transcriptional and bioinformatic analyses. Results: We report unique miRNA expression profiles in M2 and M1 macrophages involving multiple miRNAs. Among these miRNAs, we established that miR-511 is increased in macrophages following IL-4- and IL-13-stimulation and decreased in M1 macrophages both in-vitro and in-vivo. Increased miR-511 expression was sufficient to induce marked transcriptional changes in macrophages. Interestingly, bioinformatics analyses revealed that miR-511 altered the expression of gene products that are associated with hallmark alternatively activated macrophage functions, such as cellular proliferation, wound healing responses and inflammation. Conclusions: Our data establish miR-511 as a bona fide M2-associated miRNA. These data may have significant implications in asthma where the expression of IL-4 and IL-13 are highly increased.

description: Although keyword query enables inexperienced users to easily search XML database with no specific knowledge of complex structured query languages or XML data schemas, the ambiguity of keyword query may result in generating a great number of results that may be classified into different types. For users, each result type implies a possible search intention. To improve the performance of keyword query, it is desirable to efficiently work out the most relevant result type from the data to be retrieved. Several recent research works have focused on this interesting problem by using data schema information or pure IR-style statical information. However, this problem is still open due to some requirements. (1) The data to be retrieved may not contain schema information; (2) Relevant result types should be efficiently computed before keyword query evaluation; (3) The correlation between a result type and a keyword query should be measured by analyzing the distribution of relevant values and structures within the data. As we know, none of existing work satisfies the above three requirements together. To address the problem, we propose an estimation-based approach to compute the promising result types for a keyword query, which can help a user quickly narrow down to her specific information need. To speed up the computation, we designed new algorithms based on the indexes to be built. Finally, we present a set of experimental results that evaluate the proposed algorithms and show the potential of this work.

description: Objective: To measure the effectiveness of an integrated care program for individuals with asthma aged 12–45 years, on asthma control and adherence to inhaled corticosteroids (ICS). Methods: Researchers used a theoretical model to develop the program and assessed effectiveness at 12 months, using a pragmatic controlled clinical trial design. Forty-two community pharmacists in Quebec, Canada recruited participants with either uncontrolled or mild-to-severe asthma. One group was exposed to the program; another received usual care. Asthma control was measured with the Asthma Control Questionnaire; ICS adherence was assessed with the Morisky medication adherence scale and the medication possession ratio. Program effectiveness was assessed with an intention-to-treat approach using multivariate generalized estimating equation models. Results: Among 108 exposed and 241 non-exposed, 52.2% had controlled asthma at baseline. At 12-months, asthma control had improved in both groups but the interaction between study groups and time was not significant (p = 0.09). The proportion of participants with good ICS adherence was low at baseline. Exposed participants showed improvement in adherence and the interaction between study groups and time was significant (p = 0.02). Conclusion: An integrated intervention, with healthcare professionals collaborating to optimize asthma control, can improve ICS adherence.

description: Landmines remain a pervasive threat in conflict-affected regions worldwide, exacting a toll on innocent lives. Shockingly, every 95 minutes, another individual becomes a victim of these lethal explosive devices (Landmines Monitor 2022 2022), with a significant proportion being innocent civilians. Current methods for landmine detection suffer from inefficiency, high costs, and risks to the operator and system integrity. In this paper, we present a novel, efficient, safe, and cost-effective approach to unearth these hidden dangers. Our proposed method integrates an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) with a thermal camera to capture high-resolution images of minefields. These images are subsequently transmitted to a base computer, where a state-of-the-art image processing algorithm is applied to identify the presence of landmines. Notably, our solution performs exceptionally well, particularly during evening hours, achieving an impressive detection accuracy of nearly 88%. These results exhibit great promise when compared to existing methods constrained by their design limitations.
