GENOME-WIDE ANALYSIS OF GENE EXPRESSION IN HALICEPHALOBUS MEPHISTO (THE DEVIL WORM)
Creators: name: Weinstein, Deborah Jane
Publisher: name: American University
Year: 2023

description: The nematode Halicephalobus mephisto was discovered in an isolated aquifer, 1.3km below ground. H. mephisto thrives under extreme conditions including elevated heat (37.2°C) and minimal oxygen, classifying it as an extremophile. H. mephisto is a vital discovery for evolution and adaptation, with particular interest in its thermophilic abilities. Here we report the full transcriptome and genome of H. mephisto. In the process we identified a unique adaptation: over amplification of AIG1 and Hsp70 genes, with 168 and 142 domains respectively. Hsp70 was over-expressed under elevated heat conditions, along with ARMET and Bax inhibitor-1, suggesting these genes help H. mephisto to survive elevated heat. AIG1 was not upregulated in elevated heat suggesting its use for non-heat abiotic stressors such as hypoxia. This paper sheds light on the genomic adaptations that have evolved in H. mephisto to survive its challenging environment.

description: This thesis examines the situation of unaccompanied minors (UAM) in three European countries, Italy, Austria, and Germany, taking into account children’s rights, especially the best interest of the child. With the influx of individuals seeking international protection in Europe, many children (those under 18), who are not in the company of their parents or legal guardian, are among them. Despite the ratification of the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child by these countries (Italy, Austria, and Germany) and the existence of regional and domestic laws aimed at safeguarding children’s rights and the “best interests of the child,” there are still shortcomings in their implementation. Enhancing the implementation becomes crucial when considering the reality of experiences encountered by UAM. As a result, unaccompanied minor children remain unprotected and deprived of a “normal” childhood. The differences between international protection statuses and the right to family reunification are in focus, especially since children need parental care. In some countries, such as Austria and Germany, beneficiaries of subsidiary protection have fewer possibilities to reunite with their families due to long waiting times.
Characterization of the floral homeotic gene APETALA1 (AP1) and its role in gene repression in stem cells
Creators: name: Yamadi, Maryam
Publisher: name: American University
Year: 2023

description: For an organism to properly form, fate-specifying genes are intricately controlled to establish a precise pattern of what genes are turned on and turned off throughout development. In the angiosperm, Arabidopsis thaliana, the homeotic gene APETALA1 (AP1) plays a significant role in coordinating this pattern for proper specification of floral organs. Here, we show that mutation of the EAR motif in AP1 leads to misexpression of the petal genes in the sepals demonstrating the EAR motif of AP1 is necessary for repressing these petal genes in the outer whorl. We also show that AP1 may be recruiting the TOPLESS RELATED (TPR1-4) proteins as corepressors for repression of the petal genes. This is supported by the confirmation that AP1 acts as a repressor in the sepal tissues. These results present an addition to the known diverse role of AP1, further characterizing its function in specifying sepal identity.

title: Improving the nutritive value of whole-crop wheat for dairy cows
Creators: name: Jackson, Marie Ann
Publisher: name: The Open University
Year: 2005

description: A series of experiments was carried out to investigate ways of improving the nutritive value of whole-crop wheat (WCW) for dairy cows. Experiment One examined the effects of mechanical processing and alteration of forage cutting height at harvest. Digestibility was improved when urea-treated WCW was mechanically processed at harvest with no effect on milk yield and composition. Increasing forage cutting height decreased dry matter intake (kg/day), increased condition score and reduced milk fat content. Experiment Two investigated the effects of carbohydrate supplementation to mechanically processed urea-treated WCW and included a comparison between maize silage and mechanically processed urea-treated WCW. Cows fed lactose supplemented WCW had numerically higher milk yields than those supplemented with wheat or molasses with no effect on milk component yield (kg/day). Dairy cows fed mechanically processed urea-treated WCW and maize silage performed similarly but animals fed WCW ate proportionally 0.24 more than those fed maize. Experiment Three comprised two parts; the first examining the effects of form of urea applied at ensiling at two stages of maturity. All forages harvested at 550 g DM/kg (except those receiving the urea + urease additive), fermented, indicated by their low pH (< 4.5). At 800 g DM/kg all forms of urea were released resulting in an alkaline pH. Part two of the experiment examined the effects of three stages of maturity and additive treatment to WCW. All forages were aerobically stable with additive application reducing microbial numbers. Additive application is necessary at dry matter contents of 600-700 g DM/kg to prevent microbial growth and additional urease is required at ensiling to promote rapid, extensive hydrolysis of urea and an enhanced NDF digestibility. The production of high DM urea-treated WCW without a reduction in starch digestibility is now possible through the use of mechanical processing. There is also potential to improve performance through the development of appropriate supplementation strategies.
The Social Process of Defining Quality Food, Based on the Opinions of Polish Consumer Cooperative Members

description: This article describes how members of consumer cooperatives define quality food. Cooperatives are seen as one of the forms of Alternative Food Networks. The concept of quality food is defined subjectively. The analysis presented in the paper is based on the results of a questionnaire conducted in winter 2015/2016 among members of consumer cooperatives in Poland. The spontaneously made three main associations with the notion of “high quality food” indicate that customers consider qualities that are the result of the ways and methods of production. Food quality and safety are the results of individual and organisational trust and mutual relations, among consumers themselves as well as between consumers and producers. In the case of mass-produced food, issues of safety have become crucial: for the indicated group food safety means shifting from the rules of the “industrial world” to the rules of the “domestic world” where safety is the result of trust, direct consumer/supplier relations, and/or traditions rather than standardised

description: Seepage springs are a commonly found freshwater habitat in the Washington D.C. area that are home to a variety of invertebrates including Stygobromus hayi, the only endangered species in Washington D.C. and the state amphipod, but little remains about the community structure of these habitats. We analyzed the community structure and general food web dynamics of 4 seepage springs, 1 spring, and 2 streams in the Washington D.C. area. We identified 11975 organisms of 50 unique taxa, 35 insect taxa and 15 non-insect taxa, with varying degrees of abundances from 63 samples over three seasons: Winter, Spring, and Summer. Using Jaccard’s index, it was seen that the community structure of the seepage spring environments in Great Falls, MD was similar to each other and similar over the three seasons, with an average coefficient of 0.41. While the sites were similar based on presence or absence they were each dominated by different organisms, most being either Lumbriculidae or Caecidotea kenki. Biodiversity indices of the study sites showed little to no patterns with regard to seasonal shifts or amphipod specificity. Using dual abundance stable isotope analysis of δ^13 C and δ^15 N we were able to discern the trophic positions of Lumbriculidae, C. kenki, Stygobromus tenuis, and Crangonyx shoemakeri, with estimates to the trophic positions of Tipula, Pseudolimnophila, and Platyhelminthes. It is still unclear exactly what S. tenuis was obtaining its energy from.

description: The aim of the study is to evaluate selected changes in agricultural land use under the privatization processes in the Czech Republic, Slovakia, Romania and Hungary. The study focuses on the phenomenon of fragmentation of ownership and farming of agricultural land. The analyzed countries have adopted a similar concept of privatization and restitution of land but the effects of these processes were varied. The most prominent result of ownership changes was a dynamic growth in the number of individual farms. This process was especially intensive in Hungary and Romania. For several years a decrease in the farm number and a growing importance of large companies has been observed in those countries. On the other hand, in the Czech Republic and Slovakia, despite the privatization of land it remains in the management of large corporate groups and production companies. Large farms play a dominant role in all of the surveyed countries. In the Czech Republic, Slovakia and partly in Hungary smallholders lease farming land to large production corporations, so that fragmentation of ownership has not resulted in the fragmentation of land use. However, Romania has experienced ownership fragmentation at very high degree, which lowered the efficiency and competitiveness of the agricultural sector.
title: An assessment of the contribution of terrestrial organic matter to total organic matter in sediments in Scottish sea lochs
Creators: name: Loh, Pei Sun
Publisher: name: The Open University
Year: 2005

description: The biogeochemical cycling of carbon in Lochs Creran and Etive was investigated by using lignin as the biomarker for terrestrial organic matter. The oxygen uptake rate, percentage organic matter due to loss on ignition, Rp index, total carbon, total organic carbon (TOC), total nitrogen, C/N ratio, and phosphate content were used as the proxies to determine the biodegradability of the sediment organic matter.

Total lignin in Lochs Creran and Etive ranged from 0.03 to 0.55mg/g, and A (mg/lOOmg OC) ranged from 0.37 to 0.98; the syringyl/vanillyl and cinnamyl/vanillyl ratios for both lochs ranged from 0.16-1.61 and 0-1.47, respectively. It was found that non-woody angiosperm tissues predominated in the lochs. The concentrations of lignin and the proxies were constant at individual locations, indicating continual but intermittent input of terrestrial materials into the lochs. However, total lignin and these proxies decreased significantly from the head to the mouth and outside the lochs, indicating the importance of the Rivers Creran and Etive in contributing terrestrial materials into the lochs and the importance of terrestrial organic matter in fuelling the biogeochemical cycling of organic matter in the lochs. Overall the effect of the hydrodynamic and hydrological regimes of the lochs, fish and shellfish farms, and bioturbation on the sediment organic matter was investigated.

From the head to mouth of the lochs, in Creran, lignin contributed to 0.69% and 0.47% TOC at LC0 and LC6 ; in Etive, lignin contributed to 0.91% and 0.33% TOC at RE2 and Camas Nathais, respectively. The input of organic matter into Creran was 1.9 x 109 g/year. Of this, 1.2 x 109 g/year (63.16%) was labile fraction and 7.0 x 108 g/year (36.84%) consisted of refractory organic matter. There were overall 5.0 x 108 gC/year input of total carbon and 2.5 x 106 g/year input of lignin materials into Creran.

description: The article has two main objectives, first to describe the overall income situation, as well as the share of off-farm income in total incomes of farms in Canada and the United States (according to the orientation of production and “socio-economic” type), second, to review and assess the current selected tools affecting off-farm income generation. The share of non – farm income varies, depending on the orientation of the production and socio – economic household type. Especially in case of the US wherein the decrease in the share of non – farm income in total incomes was highly visible. Within the framework of agriculture policies and rural areas development, the instruments influencing the off-farm incomes directly and indirectly might be extracted. However, it should be highlighted that more important role will be assigned to instruments stimulating growth in non – farm employment on rural areas.

description: The effect of Co-Ga paired substitution on the superconducting properties of YBa2Cu3O7-d (Y-123) has been investigated by X-ray diffraction, ac susceptibility,dc resistivity and oxygen content measurements. We report in this paper the results of our studies on the paired substitution of a magnetic and non-magnetic ion at Cu site in Y-123, while keeping the total dopant concentration fixed. The simultaneous substitution of Co and Ga at Cu site shows variation in the transition temperature (Tc), oxygen content and hole concentration as a function of change in the balance of magnetic (Co) and non-magnetic (Ga) concentration. Orthorhombicity (D), given as (b-a)/a, also varies as a function of increasing dopant concentration. The variation in Tc due to Co-Ga substitution is discussed in the light of dopant valency and hole filling mechanism.

description: Past research on the relationship between democracy and poverty in Africa has produced surprisingly mixed findings. We argue that one source of variation is in the measures of democracy and poverty used by prior studies, which capture different concepts and contain different amounts of error. Using measures that map closely onto theory and which are directly comparable across countries, we show that electoral democracy is robustly correlated with small-but-significant reductions in lived poverty over time. We provide additional quantitative and case study evidence that accountability encourages governments to take swift action on poverty. Finally, we show that our results are sensitive to measurement choices, helping to explain null results in prior literature. Altogether our results suggest that empowering the poor in Africa will ultimately lead to meaningful reductions in poverty.

description: We present initial results of an ongoing search for interferometric calibrators at submillimeter (sub-mm) wavelengths with the Submillimeter Array (SMA). Powerful radio galaxies are commonly used as calibrators at centimeter and millimeter wavelengths, but many are not strong enough to serve as calibrators at sub-mm wavelengths because of their rapidly declining flux densities toward shorter wavelengths. The inability to find a calibrator close to the target source may limit or even prevent us from imaging many interesting sources at sub-mm wavelengths. Here, we investigate whether high-mass protostellar objects and ultracompact HII regions can serve as useful calibrators for the SMA. The dust emission associated with these objects makes them among the brightest sub-mm sources in the sky. Our observations at 0.85 mm (345 GHz) with an angular resolution of ~3" reveal that although a large fraction of the dust emission originates from an extended ``halo'' component, a compact unresolved component often remains that when sufficiently strong may serve as a useful calibrator. These observations also provide a first glimpse at the small-scale distribution of dust around ultracompact HII regions and high-mass protostellar objects at sub-mm wavelengths. We discuss the origin of the core-halo structure seen in many sources, and conclude with suggestions for future searches for calibrators with the SMA.

description: Determinations of CKM matrix elements are clouded by uncertainties in nonperturbative QCD parameters that relate measurable quantities to the underlying parton-level processes. A principal goal of the CLEO-c program is to provide precision measurements in the c-quark sector that will stimulate lattice QCD theorists to calculate relevant nonperturbative QCD parameters in this sector and to validate the calculations. This interaction between theory and experiment should build confidence in calculations of the parameters in the b-quark sector required for precision determinations of the CKM matrix elements Vcb, Vub, and Vtd.

description: Is it a yearning for more political freedom, or a demand for the more mundane economic necessities of life which drives large waves of potentially destabilizing mass protests against authoritarian regimes? We examine this question in the context of the Arab Spring, which originated from Tunisia and Egypt in 2011 and soon spread through the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) region. We use a static fixed effects model and a dynamic GMM model on a panel of 14 MENA countries for the period 2006–2017 to identify the major socio-economic and political determinants of both non-violent and violent Arab Spring protests. One of the main findings of our article is that, in contrast with the “intermediate regimes hypothesis”, the intermediate regimes tend to be more stable compared to both strictly authoritarian and relatively democratic regimes. Further, more nuanced dimensions of democracy, in terms of institutional checks on the authoritarian regime, have a positive impact on stability and reducing protests. With regard to socio-economic factors, our results show that factors leading to better living standards, such as higher economic growth and higher levels of GDP per capita, and transfers in the form of public expenditure (“authoritarian bargain”) partly mitigate the grievances and the resulting protests.

description: Investing is one of determinants of local development, including the development of rural gminas. Local governments are mostly responsible for financing investments, especially in terms of their technical and social infrastructure. Poland’s accession to the European Union and the possibility for gminas to make use of the EU funds triggered their local development, especially in the period between 2007 and 2013. Many rural gminas became attractive places of residence and investment, but their debt increased dynamically. The aim of this article is to analyse the level of gmina indebtedness based on a case study of rural gminas of Wielkopolskie province in Poland which was carried out between 2007 and 2014. The research was based on the data published by the Ministry of Finance (Wskaźniki do oceny sytuacji finansowej jednostek samorządu terytorialnego) and by the Central Statistical Office (Local Data Bank). The first stage of the study included an analysis of a level and share of total indebtedness in total income, and the share of expenditure earmarked for debt servicing in the total income of rural gminas in Wielkopolskie province against other types of gminas in the period 2007–2014. For the purposes of the second stage of the research, TOPSIS method was used to carry out a synthetic assessment of the level of indebtedness of those entities and changes thereof in 2014 in relation to 2007. The study showed that in the period under consideration the general level of indebtedness of rural gminas increased, while the diversity between gminas in this scope decreased, although still remaining at a high level. The high level of indebtedness and its dramatic growth in 2014 in relation to 2007 mainly related to those rural gminas in the Wielkopolskie province which are typically agricultural and feature a low level of financial self-sufficiency.

BRONCIA KOLLER-PINELL’S MARIETTA, 1907: FACING TRUTH IN THE VIENNA SECESSION
Creators: name: Rettstatt, Olivia
Publisher: name: American University
Year: 2023

description: Broncia Koller-Pinell’s Marietta, 1907, an ambitious painting of a female nude, is an outlier within the artist’s oeuvre in terms of both style and genre. This thesis interrogates the painting’s relationship to the canon of Viennese modernism: the work provides an opening-point to consider Koller-Pinell’s relationship to the “Klimt Group,” a faction of artists who in 1905 seceded from the original Secession group, founded in 1897. I argue that Marietta confronts and reinterprets Gustav Klimt’s Nuda Veritas (Naked Truth), 1899, a major icon of the Secession and referent to the nude as a symbol of truth. By questioning the gendering of art and the artist in the Secession, Koller-Pinell pointed directly to the conditions that barred women from full participation in the movement. Further, I discuss the artist’s adaptation of Neo-Byzantine style and Christian iconography in the painting, relating these aspects to religious tensions within Viennese society and to Koller-Pinell’s own identity as a Jewish woman. Lastly, by re-introducing Marietta back into the context of the 1908 Kunstschau alongside Koller-Pinell’s other works, I consider the role gender played in shaping the reception of women’s art. The organizers’ pointed refusal to include Marietta in the exhibition alongside more conventionally “feminine” works by Koller-Pinell illustrates the contradictions within the Secession’s stated aim to break down the borders between art and craft. This thesis thus builds upon recent feminist scholarship on the partial inclusion of women artists in the Secession, as well as the gendering of the artist, genre, and medium in modern Viennese art.

description: A definition of entropy via the Kolmogorov algorithmic complexity is discussed. As examples, we show how the meanfield theory for the Ising model, and the entropy of a perfect gas can be recovered. The connection with computations are pointed out, by paraphrasing the laws of thermodynamics for computers. Also discussed is an approach that may be adopted to develop statistical mechanics using the algorithmic point of view.

description: Several countries recruit foreign nationals into their armed forces. This is despite the norm of citizen armies and the strong idea that individuals join the military to defend their home country while military service socializes them into good citizens. We argue that foreign recruits can have very specific benefits for some authoritarian governments. Because they lack strong links to society, their loyalties lie with whoever recruited and pays them, not the nation, country, or its citizens. As such, we argue, first, that their recruitment is especially attractive for personalistic rulers. Second, we propose that foreigners’ presence in the armed forces stymies these forces’ ability to carry out coup attempts and deters the occurrence of mass uprisings by signalling the security forces’ willingness to respond with violent repression. Empirical tests for the period 1946–2010 support these arguments. This research expands our understanding of legionnaire recruitment, civil–military relations, and comparative authoritarianism.

description: Problems related to the quality of natural environment are currently the major challenges facing the agricultural sector. The main issue is the air pollution associated with greenhouse gases but also with other pollutants. In terms of the impact of agriculture on the environment numerous studies have been conducted, however, they often fail to take into account economic determinants. The main goal of the article was to examine how the economic characteristics of different types of farming affect pollutants emissions. Characteristics both in micro- (remuneration of work force, expenditures related to the intensity of land management) and macro-scale (GDP per capita, average farm size, level of financial support to the agricultural sector) are taken into account. The hypothesis is that the productivity of factors and the characteristics describing the intensity of farming otherwise affect the emission of air pollutants according to the type of agriculture. The study covers the years 1995–2009 in 40 countries by using panel regression. It turns out that the type of agriculture in developed countries can effectively combine economic and environmental goals. In less developed countries growing labour and capital compensation still promote the increase of air pollutants emissions. In the middle-income countries there is a need for incentives to introduce energy-saving technologies.

description: Anagonia loripes sp. nov.
Figs 27–29
 Types. Holotype male in ANIC no. 29-029362, 23 km SSE of Byrock, NSW, 5 Apr. 1976, DHC (at light); terminalia in tube 2144. Paratypes (all males).— New South Wales: 1 with same data as holotype; Warambul, Royal NP, 12 Dec. 1971, G. Daniels, MV Lamp (AM).— Australian Capital Territory: Blundells, Canberra, 20 Feb. 1934, T. G.

B. Monteith (UQIC).
 Male. Very similar to the pale form of A. rufifacies, differing as follows:
 Head. Upper occiput with setae behind postocular row more frequently, and more extensively pale. Eye very sparsely or not at all haired.
 Abdomen. Tergite 3 with submedian marginal pair of bristles usually finely developed or absent.
 Terminalia (Figs 27–29). Cerci in lateral view usually 3–4 times as long as their greatest breadth, bluntly rounded at apex, with anterior margin more or less straight, posterior margin evenly curved; in posterior view separated on about apical ¼, rejoining at the apex, which has a series of small internal teeth; surstyli diagonally truncate, with rounded apex posteriorly, usually distinctly shorter than cerci; epiphallus large, comparable in size with postgonite.
 Female. Four females taken at light along with males of A. loripes have very reduced hairing of the eyes, and one has dark tibiae. Otherwise they show no obvious difference from females of A. rufifacies.
 Distribution. Most specimens seen came from WA, butACT, NSW, and Qld are also represented.
 Biology. Specimens of known provenance are all from light traps.
 Notes. Despite the close similarity to A. rufifacies, this is clearly a good species. The differences in male terminalia are striking and consistent. Three males from Mt. Garnet, Queensland, have the apical scutellar setae widely separated and straight, rather than upcurved, but are otherwise typical of the species.
The name is taken from the Latin for “bow-legged”, referring to the posterior view of the cerci.

A life cycle analysis and impact assessment on styrofoam collected through the Reduction and Recycling Pilot Program
Creators: name: Li, Ida (Yunbai)
Publisher: name: The University of British Columbia
Year: 2014

description: Focusing on the User and Disposal Phases, this report assessed the life cycle impact of Styrofoam waste collected through the UBC Vancouver Styrofoam Reduction and Recycling Pilot Program. In the User Phase, participating buildings had different experiences with various vendors, including seeing the companies’ improvements in package reduction and positive reactions to campaigning efforts. In the Disposal Phase, three current cases of waste management for Styrofoam are assessed and compared in terms of the economics, environment, and social impacts. Recycling is a three-staged process: collected Styrofoam materials from UBC are first shipped to WCS Recycling to be made into #6 pellets, which are then sent to Merlin Plastics for purification and further processing. The resultant Polystyrene #6 pellets will be shipped to an injection-molding company which produces virgin-blended recycled plastic products that are sold internationally. Re-use is the case for UBC Okanagan, as a partnership with Turtle Tanks was developed to incorporate Styrofoam waste into household septic systems. Landfill is a last and most inefficient option. Three alternatives are discussed in this report: 1. Expansion of the current recycling program; 2. Reduction from the source by working with vendors; 3. Explore partnership for re-using Styrofoam boxes; 4. Incineration. Each of these alternatives is evaluated upon four criteria of feasibility, environmental impact, cost, and sustainability of initiative. The alternatives are not exclusive from each other and could be implemented in an integrative fashion. The report concludes with several suggested areas for further research.
