description: As reverse weathering has been shown to impact long‐term changes in atmospheric CO2 levels, it is crucial to develop quantitative tools to reconstruct marine authigenic clay formation. We explored the potential of the beryllium (Be) isotope ratio (10Be/9Be) recorded in marine clay‐sized sediment to track neoformation of authigenic clays. The power of such proxy relies on the orders‐of‐magnitude difference in 10Be/9Be ratios between continental Be and Be dissolved in seawater. On marine sediments collected along a Chilean margin transect we chemically extracted reactive phases and separated the clay‐sized fraction to compare the riverine and marine 10Be/9Be ratio of this fraction. 10Be/9Be ratios increase fourfold from riverine to marine sediment. We attribute this increase to the incorporation of Be high in 10Be/9Be from dissolved biogenic opal, which also serves as a Si‐source for the precipitation of marine authigenic clays. 10Be/9Be ratios thus sensitively track reverse‐weathering reactions forming marine authigenic clays.

Iverakia

description: Genus Iverakia n. gen.
Diagnosis. Shell elongated conical with a smooth surface. Aperture oval, from lateral view sinuated, the lower part moved forward. Anatomy is unknown.
Type species. Iverakia hausdorfi n. sp.
Etymology. Named after the spring where the new genus was detected.
Differentiating features. The new genus share elongated shell with a sinuated aperture with Plagigeyeria Tomlin, 1930 and Paladilhiopsis Pavlović 1913. The both genera can easily be distinguished by the shell surface which is in Plagigeyeria ribbed, with a strong axial sculpture, and in Paladilhiopsis with a spiral lines on the shell crossing the growth striae (Bernasconi 1990), not smooth as in Iverakia n. gen.
The similar genus Zeteana Glöer & Pešić 2014, described from the same type locality as Iverakia n. gen., conchologically resembles to snails of the new genus but clearly differs by having the slightly ribbed shell surface, with broad ribs and thin interspaces (Glöer and Pešić 2014).
Distribution. The genus is endemic to Central Montenegro and includes the only species: Iverakia hausdorfi n. sp. from its type locality only.

Locus typicus. Montenegro, Pogorica, spring Iverak in village Pričelje, 42°30'17.52''N, 19°13'17.93''E.
Etymology. Named after Willy De Mattia (Trieste) in appreciation of his contribution to the taxonomy of the molluscs.
Description
Shell: Shell elongated cylindrical with a large and obtuse apex (Figs. 4­6). The regularly growing 4.5 whorls are convex with a deep suture. Shell surface smooth. The aperture is ovoid, the outer margin is straight from lateral view (Fig. 6). The umbilicus is closed. The shell height 1.3­1.7 mm, shell width 0.7 mm, apertural/shell height ratio 0.3.
Soft body: unknown.
Differentiating features. The specimens from the Iverak spring are tentaively ascertained to the genus Bythiospeum Bourguignat, 1882. However, considering that most of the numerous nominal species of Bythiospeum recorded from Europe are known as empty shells (Haase 1995) only one could expect that phylogenetic relationships within this group (including Paladilhiopsis Pavlović, 1913 as well) may be complex, and the genus is polyphyletic (Falniowski et al. 2014). Recently we described a new species of Bythiospeum Bourguignat, 1882 based on empty shells from Taban spring, situted only a few kilometres from the type locality of the new “ Bythiospeum “ species. Later on, we collected live specimens (Pešić and Glöer 2013), and ascribed B. bogici to a new distinct genus Montenegrospeum Pešić & Glöer, 2013, confirmed by molecular analysis (Falniowski et al. 2014). Montengrospeum bogici (Pešić & Glöer 2012) can easily be distinguished by the large dimensions of the shell (2.3 mm vs. 1.7 mm in B. demattiai) and having the circular, not ovoid, aperture. The shell of the new species resembles those of Devetakia Georgiev & Glöer, 2011 but the body whorl in the species of the latter genus known only from Bulgaria is more protruded (Georgiev and Glöer 2011).
Distribution. Montenegro; known only from the type locality.

description: Στην παρούσα εργασία γίνεται αναφορά στην Κοινή Αγροτική Πολιτική (Κ.Α.Π.), στις επιδράσεις των μεταρρυθμίσεων της στην Ελλάδα και συγκεκριμένα πως αυτή συνδέεται με τις προστατευόμενες περιοχές Natura, και την αγροτική παραγωγή που υπάρχει στα πλαίσια των περιοχών αυτών. Για να μπορέσουμε να αντιληφθούμε τι ακριβώς είναι η Κ.Α.Π. θα εξετάσουμε, μέσω βιβλιογραφικής ανασκόπησης την πορεία της, από την δημιουργία της μέχρι και σήμερα, θα εμβαθύνουμε στην εκτίμηση των νέων της δεδομένων που θα έρθουν λόγω των ριζικών αλλαγών που προωθεί η Ευρωπαϊκή Ένωση με την προσπάθεια της να ενταχθεί στο πλαίσιο της Πράσινης Συμφωνίας. Ακόμη ένα εξίσου μεγάλο κεφάλαιο αποτελεί και αυτό που γίνεται αναφορά στις προστατευόμενες περιοχές Natura. Το κεφάλαιο αυτό πραγματεύεται θέματα που αφορούν την προστατευόμενες περιοχές, τις κατηγοριοποιεί και επισημαίνει τους τρόπους που πρέπει να διαχειρίζονται από τους κοινωνικούς φορείς. Επίσης, εστιάζει στα χαρακτηριστικά του δικτύου Natura στην Ευρώπη και την Ελλάδα αλλά και στις οικολογικές - περιβαλλοντικές διαστάσεις που προκύπτουν από την θεσμοθέτηση τους. Επιπλέον, η βιβλιογραφική ανασκόπηση, ασχολείται με το Εθνικό Πάρκο του Δάσους Δαδιάς και πως αυτό συνδέεται με την ευφυή γεωργία από τους Έλληνες αγρότες που επιθυμούν να αναπτυχθούν οικονομικά σε συνδυασμό με τη βέλτιστη δυνατή αξιοποίηση των πόρων του. Συγκεκριμένα, έγινε επιλογή της κτηνοτροφίας στον τομέα της μελισσοκομίας. Στο δάσος της Δαδιάς παράγονται αρκετά προϊόντα με σύγχρονους μεθόδους γεωργίας ακριβείας. Αυτό μας οδηγεί στην αύξηση της βιολογικής καλλιέργειας και την εφαρμογή της στα πλαίσια της Πράσινης Συμφωνίας. Όλα τα παραπάνω έχουν ως στόχο της προστασία της βιοποικιλότητας των οικοσυστημάτων καθώς αναπτύσσονται με φιλικές πρακτικές προς το περιβάλλον και δραστηριοποιούνται σε πλαίσια βιώσιμης ανάπτυξης.

description: Τα τελευταία χρόνια παρατηρείται μια ραγδαία αύξηση στην επιλογή των εναλλακτικών μορφών τουρισμού από όλο και περισσότερους ανθρώπους. Μια από αυτές τις μορφές είναι και ο οινοτουρισμός, ο οποίος μπορεί να συμβάλει στην επίλυση της τουριστικής εποχικότητας, στην αύξηση των εσόδων, αλλά και στην ανάδειξη της χώρας σε όλο τον κόσμο. Ο οινικός κλάδος είναι εξαιρετικά σημαντικός για την ελληνική οικονομία, αλλά παράλληλα χαρακτηρίζεται και από έντονο ανταγωνισμό. Καθώς τα οινοποιεία στην Ελλάδα είναι αρκετά σε αριθμό θα πρέπει η κάθε επιχείρηση να επιλέξει την κατάλληλη στρατηγική για να μπορέσει να δημιουργήσει ανταγωνιστικό πλεονέκτημα. Στην παρούσα εργασία επιλέχθηκε να μελετηθεί το οινοποιείο T-oinos που βρίσκεται στο νησί της Τήνου στις Κυκλάδες. Στο κεφάλαιο 1 παρουσιάζεται η εννοιολογική προσέγγιση του τουρισμού και στο κεφάλαιο 2 του οινοτουρισμού. Το κεφάλαιο 3 αναλύει τον όρο της στρατηγικής και του ανταγωνιστικού πλεονεκτήματος. Στο 4ο κεφάλαιο αναφέρεται ο οινοτουρισμός στην Ελλάδα και συγκεκριμένα οι στρατηγικές προώθησής του, η συμβολή του στην ελληνική οικονομία και η σύγκρισή του με τις υπόλοιπες χώρες της Ευρώπης. Το κεφάλαιο 5 παρουσιάζει λεπτομερή στοιχεία για το T-oinos, ενώ στο 6ο κεφάλαιο γίνεται ανάλυση του εξωτερικού περιβάλλοντος της επιχείρησης και στο 7ο του εσωτερικού περιβάλλοντος. Τέλος, στο κεφάλαιο 8 παρατίθενται οι στρατηγικές που προτείνεται να ακολουθήσει το οινοποιείο. Όσον αφορά τα βασικά συμπεράσματα που προέκυψαν, προτείνεται το T-oinos να ακολουθήσει την επιχειρησιακή στρατηγική της σταθερότητας και να μην προβεί σε αυτή της ανάπτυξης ούτε της περισυλλογής. Επιπλέον συστήνεται το οινοποιείο να ακολουθήσει την επιχειρηματική στρατηγική της εστίασης σε συγκεκριμένο κοινό- στόχο, δηλαδή σε άτομα με υψηλό εισόδημα και ανθρώπους που διαθέτουν οινικές γνώσεις. Οι παραπάνω στρατηγικές επιλέχθηκαν κυρίως επειδή το T-oinos έχει αποκτήσει ήδη ανταγωνιστικό πλεονέκτημα λόγω της ξεχωριστής διαδικασίας ωρίμανσης των κρασιών που έχει υιοθετήσει, γεγονός που συνεπάγεται και την εφαρμογή υψηλών τιμών στις ετικέτες που παράγει.

description: Stenopelmatus additions to our 2021 data set
(1) S. ater: One of only two named Costa Rican Stenopelmatus species (the other being the fully winged S. sartorianus Saussure), we sequenced material (Fig. 1, specimen F2321), provided by Oscar Cadena-Castañeda, of a male S. ater from Parque Nacional Tapantí, Cartago Province, Costa Rica. The male’s multilocus DNA was recovered with S. nuevoguatemalae n. sp., S. honduras Weissman, and S. cusuco Weissman. Jorge Gutiérrez-Rodríguez has also informed us (personal communication to DBW, 18-ii-2023) that he has a third, but undescribed, Costa Rican species (Fig. 2) from Ascensión Chirripó, Cartago Province, 9.463525° -83.571862°, that, according to Alejandro Zaldívar-Riverón (personal communication to DBW, 18-ii-2023), is recovered, despite being apterous, in the broad Central American species group of Gutiérrez-Rodríguez et. al. (2022). Interestingly, when DBW examined the Costa Rican INBio collection in the early 2000s, he only saw specimens of the two described taxa.
(2) S. hondurasito Weissman: We sequenced leg F0470 of a second individual, from the type locality, of this non-jumping species that confirmed no error when the leg of the first individual (F0644) was previously recovered (Weissman et al. 2021) in a larger clade with several jumping species.
(3) S. nuevoleon Weissman: Sample F 1369, from a paratype female, was sequenced in Weissman et al. (2021) from a locality (DBW Stop 03-105) some 80 km due north of the type locality. We herein present the results of the allotype female (F1370), from the type locality, and report (Fig. 1) that both samples are recovered closest to each other and apparently represent the same taxon.
In summary, our latest results add further information (see Fig. 1) to our previous multilocus tree (see Fig. 10 in Weissman et al. 2021); continue to demonstrate the monophyletic origins of both New World JC genera Stenopelmatus and Ammopelmatus; and confirm the phylogenetic relationship of the pure black, hopping, wingless Costa Rican endemic S. ater Saussure & Pictet, which was recovered in our 3-gene Bayesian analysis (in Fig. 9, Weissman et al. 2021) but not in our multigene ASTRAL analysis (in Fig. 10, Weissman et al. 2021).

description: Η παρούσα μεταπτυχιακή διπλωματική εργασία επικεντρώνεται στην ανάλυση των επιπτώσεων των πυρκαγιών στους υπόγειους υδατικούς πόρους, με ειδική αναφορά στις πυρκαγιές που έπληξαν την Β. Εύβοια το 2021. Οι δασικές πυρκαγιές αποτελούν μία από τις πιο καταστροφικές φυσικές καταστροφές, οι οποίες προκαλούν σοβαρές επιπτώσεις τόσο στο περιβάλλον όσο και στην ανθρώπινη δραστηριότητα. Στις μεσογειακές χώρες και συγκεκριμένα στην Ελλάδα, οι δασικές πυρκαγιές είναι αναμενόμενες ιδιαίτερα τους καλοκαιρινούς μήνες, ωστόσο η συχνότητά τους τα τελευταία χρόνια εξαιτίας της κλιματικής αλλαγής, έχει αυξηθεί σημαντικά. Βασικός παράγοντας είναι η ανθρώπινη δραστηριότητα με ποσοστό που αγγίζει το 95%, ενώ πιο σπάνια, οι πυρκαγιές αυτές οφείλονται σε φυσικά αίτια. Η συμπεριφορά μίας δασικής πυρκαγιάς εξαρτάται από πολλούς παράγοντες όπως η τοπογραφία και η βλάστηση της περιοχής, η καύσιμη ύλη, οι μετεωρολογικές συνθήκες κ.α. Τα αποτελέσματα είναι είτε άμεσα όπως είναι η υποβάθμιση του περιβάλλοντος και της οικονομίας, ή έμμεσα με επιπτώσεις στην ανθρώπινη υγεία. Η ποιοτική και ποσοτική υποβάθμιση των υπόγειων υδάτων δεν εμφανίζεται μόνο στις πληγείσες περιοχές, αλλά και σε πιο απομακρυσμένες περιοχές, με σημαντικές συνέπειες στη ζωή των κατοίκων. Συγκεκριμένα, η πυρκαγιά που ξεκίνησε τον Αύγουστο του 2021 στη Β. Εύβοια χαρακτηρίστηκε ίσως ως η πιο καταστροφική πυρκαγιά της χώρας μας με σχεδόν 520.000 στρέμματα καμένων εκτάσεων. Η σωστή διαχείριση τέτοιων μεγάλων δασικών πυρκαγιών περιλαμβάνει την πρόληψη, καταστολή και αποκατάσταση του οικοσυστήματος. Είναι γεγονός, ότι πλέον, οι περισσότερες χώρες διαθέτουν τα κατάλληλα μέσα και εργαλεία για τη σωστή πρόληψη των πυρκαγιών ή την αποκατάσταση του περιβάλλοντος με την συμβολή φυσικά και των νέων τεχνολογιών.

description: High‐resolution X‐ray microscopy (XRM) is gaining interest for biological investigations of extremely small‐scale structures. XRM imaging of bones in living mice could provide new insights into the emergence and treatment of osteoporosis by observing osteocyte lacunae, which are holes in the bone of few micrometres in size. Imaging living animals at that resolution, however, is extremely challenging and requires very sophisticated data processing converting the raw XRM detector output into reconstructed images. This paper presents an open‐source, differentiable reconstruction pipeline for XRM data which analytically computes the final image from the raw measurements. In contrast to most proprietary reconstruction software, it offers the user full control over each processing step and, additionally, makes the entire pipeline deep learning compatible by ensuring differentiability. This allows fitting trainable modules both before and after the actual reconstruction step in a purely data‐driven way using the gradient‐based optimizers of common deep learning frameworks. The value of such differentiability is demonstrated by calibrating the parameters of a simple cupping correction module operating on the raw projection images using only a self‐supervisory quality metric based on the reconstructed volume and no further calibration measurements. The retrospective calibration directly improves image quality as it avoids cupping artefacts and decreases the difference in grey values between outer and inner bone by 68–94%. Furthermore, it makes the reconstruction process entirely independent of the XRM manufacturer and paves the way to explore modern deep learning reconstruction methods for arbitrary XRM and, potentially, other flat‐panel computed tomography systems. This exemplifies how differentiable reconstruction can be leveraged in the context of XRM and, hence, is an important step towards the goal of reducing the resolution limit of in vivo bone imaging to the single micrometre domain.

Antitumour activity of CT7001 in advanced prostate cancer
Creators: name: Constantin, Theodora-Alexandra
Publisher: name: Imperial College London
Year: 2022

description: Androgen deprivation therapy (ADT) is the gold standard treatment for metastatic prostate cancer. ADT impedes activation of the androgen receptor (AR), which drives tumour growth in most patients. Although initially effective, resistance to ADT universally emerges to promote AR activation in low/no androgen conditions. This results in lethal castration-resistant prostate cancer (CRPC), highlighting a need for novel therapeutic interventions. Cyclin-dependent kinase (CDK) 7 is increasingly recognised as a cancer drug target due to its dual regulatory role in cell cycling and transcription. Recently, CDK7 has been reported to promote oncogenic AR signalling, indicating potential as a targetable kinase in CRPC. Here, I explore the antitumour activity of CT7001 (samuraciclib), a novel orally bioavailable inhibitor of CDK7, across CRPC models in vitro and in xenograft models in vivo. Multiple cell-based assays and transcriptomic analyses of treated xenografts were employed to investigate the mechanism driving activity of CT7001, alone and in combination with the AR antagonist enzalutamide. The data presented here demonstrate that CT7001 engages with CDK7 in a selective manner to potently inhibit prostate cancer cell growth. CT7001 targets proliferation pathways, induces p53 activation and promotes apoptosis in vitro. In addition, CT7001 treatment downregulates AR transcription, and this activity is maintained in several scenarios modelling AR reactivation in CRPC. The multifaceted mode of action of CT7001 drives combinatorial activity with enzalutamide in a xenograft model of advanced CRPC. This work supports CDK7 inhibition as a therapeutic strategy for CRPC and provides a rationale for combination regimens with ADT. This study may have clinical significance as CT7001 had acceptable safety profile and demonstrated initial efficacy in combination with hormonal therapies in breast cancer patients. In CRPC, where treatment options following progression on ADT are currently restricted to chemotherapy, CT7001 may provide a novel approach to reduce tumour burden and prolong patient survival.

description: The objective of this observational study was to evaluate the efficacy of a neck-mounted automated activity monitor (AAM) at detecting early postpartum resumed ovarian cyclicity. A total of 192 lactating cows (primiparous = 73 and multiparous = 119) were enrolled in this study. Cows were continuously monitored by a neck-mounted AAM early postpartum (7 to 30 d in milk; DIM). Calving was classified as assisted (forced extraction of a calf) or unassisted (normal calving). Retained fetal membrane, metritis, hyperketonemia, clinical mastitis, and milk production were recorded. Cows were classified as healthy (i.e., no disease events) or sick (i.e., any disease event). Estrus events were alerted by the AAM using a proprietary algorithm set by the AAM company. Blood samples, from the coccygeal vein, were collected at 15, 18, 21, 24, 28, and 30 DIM for progesterone (P4) analysis. Resumption of cyclicity was considered when P4 concentration was ≥1 ng/mL on any collection day. Cows were considered anovular when P4 concentration was <1 ng/mL on all collection days. Cows were classified as true positive: P4 ≥ 1 ng/mL and at least one estrus alert; false positive: P4 < 1 ng/mL and at least one estrus alert; true negative: P4 < 1 ng/mL and no estrus alerts; and false negative: P4 ≥ 1 ng/mL and no estrus alerts. Statistical analyses were performed by frequency distribution and mixed effects logistic regression procedures on SAS (SAS Institute Inc.). The specificity, sensitivity, accuracy, and positive predictive value of the sensor to detect cows that had resumed cyclicity were 84.0%, 34.1%, 52.1%, and 79.2%, respectively. Out of the 192 cows, 35.9% (69/192) were anovulatory and 37.5% (72/192) had no estrus events between 7 to 30 DIM. Healthy cows were more likely to resume cyclicity in early lactation compared with cows that were sick (78.3 ± 1.9 vs. 32.8 ± 3.1%, respectively) independent of parity. In conclusion, the sensor had a high specificity for detecting anovular cows, but it had lower sensitivity, and thus was not effective at detecting cyclic cows, perhaps due to silent ovulation early postpartum.

description: Digitalization has profoundly reshaped work modes and lifestyles and impacted individuals' life satisfaction. However, there has been limited research exploring this issue while comparing the effects before and during the COVID-19 pandemic. Furthermore, investigating heterogeneity across different socio-economic groups is crucial. This study uses data from the latest three waves of the European Social Survey in 2016, 2018, and 2020 to examine the influence of Internet usage on life satisfaction, unravel its underlying mechanisms, and conduct heterogeneity analysis with the fixed-effects ordered logit model and propensity score matching method. The empirical findings reveal the following: (a) Internet usage has significant and positive effects on life satisfaction, although the marginal effects of Internet usage decreases as respondents’ life satisfaction increases; (b) respondents with a “right” political tendency, higher levels of social interaction and trust, females, older individuals, higher income earners, those with lower education levels, better health conditions, and stronger religious beliefs tend to report higher life satisfaction; (c) work flexibility, work–life balance, and team engagement are identified as essential mediating factors in the relationship between Internet usage and life satisfaction; (d) Internet usage has had a significant and positive effect on life satisfaction since the outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic, whereas this was not the case before the pandemic; and (e) the influence of Internet usage on life satisfaction is more pronounced among young, affluent communities, well-educated individuals, Eastern and Central Europeans, non-managers, and employees of central/local governments and private firms. This study underscores the rapid socio-economic transformation induced by digitalization in Europe and provides valuable insights on leveraging the Internet to improve individual life satisfaction in the post-pandemic era.
