description: Developmental plasticity can occur at any life stage, but plasticity that acts early in development may give individuals a competitive edge later in life. Here, we asked if early (pre-feeding) exposure to a nutrient-rich resource impacts hatchling morphology in Mexican spadefoot toad tadpoles, Spea multiplicata. A distinctive carnivore morph can be induced when tadpoles eat live fairy shrimp. We investigated whether cues from shrimp--detected before individuals are capable of feeding--alter hatchling morphology such that individuals could potentially take advantage of this nutritious resource once they begin feeding. We found that hatchlings with early developmental exposure to shrimp were larger and had larger jaw muscles--traits that, at later stages, increase a tadpole's competitive ability for shrimp. These results suggest that early developmental stages can assess and respond to environmental cues by producing resource-use phenotypes appropriate for future conditions. Such anticipatory plasticity may be an important but understudied form of developmental plasticity.

description: Esse projeto integrador VII busca resolver um grande problema enfrentado pelos hemocentros de todo o país, que é a falta de hemoderivados para suprir a necessidade dos pacientes, por meio da Internet das Coisas (IoT). A doação de sangue só é possível, graças a solidariedade das pessoas que se propõe a ajudar o próximo. Não é raro, pessoas buscando por doadores de sangue para algum ente que necessita para algum tipo de procedimento, seja para cirurgias ou para uso na manutenção de hemoderivados nas redes sociais como Facebook, Whatsapp, Telegram e outros. Após muitas ideias para realizar um projeto que atendesse ao tema central da UNIVESP, escolheu-se criar uma ferramenta em formato de software que fizesse o gerenciamento dos doadores cadastrados e ao identificar os estoques baixos, o programa dispara mensagens por SMS pedindo encarecidamente a ajuda dos doadores para suprir essa necessidade. Muitas vezes, uma mensagem direta tem a capacidade de sensibilizar aquele que esteja disponível e que não estejam impedidos temporariamente. Para isso, o grupo se propôs a desenvolver um software que gerencie o estoque e um dispositivo de discagem automática para comunicação com os possíveis doadores, por SMS, usando o conceito de Internet das Coisas (IoT).

description: Work in computer vision and natural language processing involving images and text has been experiencing explosive growth over the past decade, with a particular boost coming from the neural network revolution. The present volume brings together five research articles from several different corners of the area: multilingual multimodal image description (Frank et al.), multimodal machine translation (Madhyastha et al., Frank et al.), image caption generation (Madhyastha et al., Tanti et al.), visual scene understanding (Silberer et al.), and multimodal learning of high-level attributes (Sorodoc et al.). In this article, we touch upon all of these topics as we review work involving images and text under the three main headings of image description (Section 2), visually grounded referring expression generation (REG) and comprehension (Section 3), and visual question answering (VQA) (Section 4).

description: The functions of most long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) are unknown. In contrast to proteins, lncRNAs with similar functions often lack linear sequence homology; thus, the identification of function in one lncRNA rarely informs the identification of function in others. We developed a sequence comparison method to deconstruct linear sequence relationships in lncRNAs and evaluate similarity based on the abundance of short motifs called k-mers. We found that lncRNAs of related function often had similar k-mer profiles despite lacking linear homology, and that k-mer profiles correlated with protein binding to lncRNAs and with their subcellular localization. Using a novel assay to quantify Xist-like regulatory potential, we directly demonstrated that evolutionarily unrelated lncRNAs can encode similar function through different spatial arrangements of related sequence motifs. K-mer-based classification is a powerful approach to detect recurrent relationships between sequence and function in lncRNAs.

description: A proposed solution to an aviation safety problem is based on passive detection of turbulent weather phenomena through their infrasonic emission. This thesis describes a system design that is adequate for detection and bearing evaluation of infrasounds. An array of four sensors, with the appropriate hardware, is used for the detection part. Bearing evaluation is based on estimates of time delays between sensor outputs. The generalized cross correlation (GCC), as the conventional time-delay estimation (TOE) method, is first reviewed. An adaptive TUt approach, using the least mean square (LMS) algorithm, is then discussed. A comparison between the two techniques is made and the advantages of the adaptive approach are listed. The behavior of the GCC, as a Roth processor, is examined for the anticipated signals. It is shown that the Roth processor has the desired effect of sharpening the peak of the correlation function. It is also shown that the LMSTDE technique is an equivalent implementation of the Roth processor in the time domain. A LMSTDE lead-lag model, with a variable stability coefficient and a convergence criterion, is designed. This model is employed in an automatic scheme developed for the sensor array. The software and hardware system parameters are derived and determined. The effectiveness of the system is illustrated through simulation and field testing.

description: Polyubiquitination by E2 and E3 enzymes is crucial to cell cycle control, epigenetic regulation, and development. The hallmark of the E2 family is the ubiquitin (Ub)-conjugating (UBC) domain that forms a dynamic thioester conjugate with ubiquitin (E2~Ub). Numerous studies have focused on E2 surfaces, such as the N-terminal and crossover helices, that directly interact with an E3 or the conjugated ubiquitin to stabilize the active, "closed" state of the E2~Ub. However, it remains unclear how other E2 surfaces regulate ubiquitin transfer. Here, we demonstrate the helix-turn-helix (HTH) motif of the UBC tunes the intrinsic polyubiquitination activity through distinct functions in different E2s. Interestingly, the E2HTH motif is repurposed in UBE2S and UBE2R2 to interact with the conjugated or acceptor ubiquitin, respectively, modulating ubiquitin transfer. Furthermore, we propose that Anaphase-Promoting Complex/Cyclosome binding to the UBE2SHTH reduces the conformational space of the flexible E2~Ub, demonstrating anatypical E3-dependent activation mechanism. Altogether, we postulate the E2HTH motif evolved to provide new functionalities that can be harnessed by E3s and permits additional regulation to facilitate specific E2-E3-mediated polyubiquitination.

description: Cohesin is a ring-shaped protein complex that controls dynamic chromosome structure. Cohesin activity is important for a variety of biological processes, including formation of DNA loops that regulate gene expression. The precise mechanisms by which cohesin shapes local chromosome structure and gene expression are not fully understood. Recurrent mutations in cohesin complex members have been reported in various cancers, though it is not clear whether many cohesin sequence variants have phenotypes and contribute to disease. Here, we utilized CRISPR/Cas9 genome editing to introduce a variety of cohesin sequence variants into murine embryonic stem cells and investigate their molecular and cellular consequences. Some of the cohesin variants tested caused changes to transcription, including altered expression of gene encoding lineage-specifying developmental regulators. Altered gene expression was also observed at insulated neighborhoods, where cohesin-mediated DNA loops constrain potential interactions between genes and enhancers. Furthermore, some cohesin variants altered the proliferation rate and differentiation potential of murine embryonic stem cells. This study provides a functional comparison of cohesin variants found in cancer within an isogenic system, revealing the relative roles of various cohesin perturbations on gene expression and maintenance of cellular identity.

description: In this paper we propose a Generalized Fiducial Inference inspired method for finding a robust consensus of several independently derived collection of confidence distributions (CDs) for a quantity of interest. The resulting fused CD is robust to the existence of potentially discrepant CDs in the collection. The method uses computationally efficient fiducial model averaging to obtain a robust consensus distribution without the need to eliminate discrepant CDs from the analysis. This work is motivated by a commonly occurring problem in inter-laboratory trials, where different national laboratories all measure the same unknown true value of a quantity and report their CDs. These CDs need to be fused to obtain a consensus CD for the quantity of interest. When some of the CDs appear to be discrepant, simply eliminating them from the analysis is often not an acceptable approach, particularly so in view of the fact that the true value being measured is not known and a discrepant result from a lab may be closer to the true value than the rest of the results. Additionally, eliminating one or more labs from the analysis can lead to political complications since all labs are regarded as equally competent. These considerations make the proposed method well suited for the task since no laboratory is explicitly eliminated from consideration. We report results of three simulation experiments showing that the proposed fiducial approach has better small sample properties than the currently used naive approaches. Finally, we apply the proposed method to obtain consensus CDs for gauge block calibration inter-laboratory trials and measurements of Newton's constant of gravitation ( G ) by several laboratories.

Characterising the Role of Host-Pathogen Interactions in Systemic Bacterial Infections
Creators: name: Ying Tang, Shi
Publisher: name: University of Leicester
Year: 2024

description: Systemic bacterial infection Is defined as an infection of the of the bloodstream and if left untreated, can progress into sepsis and/or meningitis, causing significant morbidity and mortality worldwide. However, despite extensive research on the pathology of the disease, the precise mechanisms and host/bacterial determinants are still widely unknown. Therefore, development of an appropriate model would be highly beneficial in the study of host-pathogen interactions. The focus of this thesis was to development of a model and study the pathogenesis of S. pneumoniae, H. influenzae and N. meningitidis leading to the progression of sepsis and meningitis. Although, modelling infection with H. influenzae and N. meningitidis was unsuccessful, immunohistochemistry of meningococcal infected brain samples alluded potential involvement of CD169 macrophages in disease. It was previously reported that CD169 macrophages acted as an immune sanctuary for S. pneumoniae. Therefore, I explored the involvement of cell death pathways and pneumococcus during systemic infection. Although no statistical difference was observed, mice treated with a pyroptosis inhibitor had a 10-fold increase in bacteraemia compared to other treatment groups after 24h of infection. This may suggest the significance of pyroptosis in pneumococcal immunity. Finally, I utilised an ex vivo human organ perfusion model to compare the serotype dependent capture of pneumococci in tissue resident macrophages between human and mice. The results showed that serotype dependent capture is more apparent in mice whilst no such activity was recorded in the human liver. Overall, the results of my research emphasises the complexity of host-pathogen responses and the importance of a suitable model to delineate the pathogenesis of infectious diseases.

description: Samejima's graded response model (GRM) has gained popularity in the analyses of ordinal response data in psychological, educational, and health-related assessment. Obtaining high-quality point and interval estimates for GRM parameters attracts a great deal of attention in the literature. In the current work, we derive generalized fiducial inference (GFI) for a family of multidimensional graded response model, implement a Gibbs sampler to perform fiducial estimation, and compare its finite-sample performance with several commonly used likelihood-based and Bayesian approaches via three simulation studies. It is found that the proposed method is able to yield reliable inference even in the presence of small sample size and extreme generating parameter values, outperforming the other candidate methods under investigation. The use of GFI as a convenient tool to quantify sampling variability in various inferential procedures is illustrated by an empirical data analysis using the patient-reported emotional distress data.

Generalized fiducial inference on the mean of zero-inflated Poisson and Poisson hurdle models
Creators: name: Hannig, Jan
name: Zou, Yixuan
name: Young, Derek S.
Publisher: name: Springer Nature
Year: 2021

description: Zero-inflated and hurdle models are widely applied to count data possessing excess zeros, where they can simultaneously model the process from how the zeros were generated and potentially help mitigate the effects of overdispersion relative to the assumed count distribution. Which model to use depends on how the zeros are generated: zero-inflated models add an additional probability mass on zero, while hurdle models are two-part models comprised of a degenerate distribution for the zeros and a zero-truncated distribution. Developing confidence intervals for such models is challenging since no closed-form function is available to calculate the mean. In this study, generalized fiducial inference is used to construct confidence intervals for the means of zero-inflated Poisson and Poisson hurdle models. The proposed methods are assessed by an intensive simulation study. An illustrative example demonstrates the inference methods.

description: INTRODUCTION: Early adopters play a critical role in the diffusion of medical innovations by spreading awareness, increasing acceptability, and driving demand. Understanding the role of race in the context of other characteristics of potential early adopters can shed light on disparities seen in the early implementation of genomic medicine. We aimed to understand the association between self-identified race and individual experience with genetic testing outside of the research context. METHODS: We assessed factors associated with the odds of having ever received genetic testing prior to enrollment in a genomic sequencing study among 674 self-identified white and 407 self-identified African, African American, or Afro-Caribbean ("Black") individuals. RESULTS: Controlling for individual determinants of healthcare use (demographics, personality traits, knowledge and attitudes, and health status), identifying as Black was associated with lower odds of prior genetic testing (OR = 0.43, 95% CI [0.27-0.68], p < 0.001). In contrast, self-identified race was not associated with the use of non-genetic clinical screening tests (e.g., echocardiogram, colonoscopy). Black and white individuals were similar on self-reported personality traits tied to early adoption but differed by sociodemographic and resource facilitators of early adoption. CONCLUSION: Persistent racial disparities among early adopters may represent especially-entrenched disparities in access to and knowledge of genomic technologies in clinical settings.

description: The proportion of endangered species is particularly high in fen meadows. In addition, it is observed that common species are expanding their range while rare species are increasingly being displaced. To counteract these trends an additional mowing event in spring was suggested to remove biomass and nutrients and to bring light and warmth to the soil in spring. The effects of an additional early cut were tested in fen-meadows in North-East Switzerland on the species Lathyrus palustris, Epipactis palustris, Selinum carvifolia and Succisa pratensis. In each study area, the plots were randomly distributed in both mowing regimes. The species diversity per developmental stage was analyzed once before mowing in spring and again in autumn. Besides the positive interactions in L. palustris and S. carvifolia, only E. palustris shows negative interaction between the mowing regimes. For the majority of the development stages, no effects of the different mowing regimes could be determined in the short period of time. Based on the results, I would suggest further research focusing on the long-term effects of additional mowing.

Glutamate plasticity woven through the progression to alcohol use disorder: a multi-circuit perspective

Year: 2017

description: Glutamate signaling in the brain is one of the most studied targets in the alcohol research field. Here, we report the current understanding of how the excitatory neurotransmitter glutamate, its receptors, and its transporters are involved in low, episodic, and heavy alcohol use. Specific animal behavior protocols can be used to assess these different drinking levels, including two-bottle choice, operant self-administration, drinking in the dark, the alcohol deprivation effect, intermittent access to alcohol, and chronic intermittent ethanol vapor inhalation. Importantly, these methods are not limited to a specific category, since they can be interchanged to assess different states in the development from low to heavy drinking. We encourage a circuit-based perspective beyond the classic mesolimbic-centric view, as multiple structures are dynamically engaged during the transition from positive- to negative-related reinforcement to drive alcohol drinking. During this shift from lower-level alcohol drinking to heavy alcohol use, there appears to be a shift from metabotropic glutamate receptor-dependent behaviors to N-methyl-D-aspartate receptor-related processes. Despite high efficacy of the glutamate-related pharmaceutical acamprosate in animal models of drinking, it is ineffective as treatment in the clinic. Therefore, research needs to focus on other promising glutamatergic compounds to reduce heavy drinking or mediate withdrawal symptoms or both.

Year: 2018

description: To address the increasing cancer burden in sub-Saharan Africa, in November, 2017, at the African Organization for Research and Training in Cancer conference in Rwanda, the National Comprehensive Cancer Network (NCCN) and African Cancer Coalition released the first Harmonized Guidelines for sub-Saharan Africa. Although the guidelines provide an excellent opportunity to improve cancer care in this region, they also require region-specific evidence to inform them.

description: ESN has been actively working on aspects relating to children’s wellbeing since 2008 at both European and national levels, advising public authorities across Europe. In 2010, we published the report ‘Breaking the Cycle of Deprivation’ by our working group on children and families. Our 2011 seminar, focused on investing in children, was followed by a three-year study of children’s services in the context of the European Commission’s Recommendation ‘Investing in children: breaking the cycle of disadvantage’. Our 2017 seminar delved deep into the duty of social services in promoting the social inclusion of migrant children and young people. In 2021, we launched the final report of our 2018-2021 working group on integrated care and support, focused on four population groups, including children and families. That same year, we published a policy briefing drafted in the framework of our working group on the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), specifically SDG 16.2 on ending violence against children. We have since focused on the European Child Guarantee (ECG), positioning ourselves from its proposal to its implementation. In 2024, to further contribute to the realisation of the ECG for the most vulnerable children as well as the European Commission’s Recommendation on developing and strengthening integrated child protection systems in the best interests of the child, we launched a questionnaire with our members to gather the latest evidence on how social services across Europe implement integrated child protection. This publication covers our questionnaire findings, analysed in light of existing literature, and the insights and best practice presented during a seminar we organised in Autumn 2024.

description: Near-surface geophysical data play a crucial role in multiple scientific domains, including precision agriculture, archaeological prospecting, and Earth System Sciences. Although the methodology and sensor technology used is often similar or even the same, data processing methodologies, (meta)data handling and long-term archiving practices remain highly fragmented. This limits cross-domain research data interoperability, comparability, accessibility, and reusability. To address these challenges, this approach seeks to integrate efforts across three key NFDI consortia: FAIRagro, NFDI4Objects, and NFDI4Earth.

The primary objective of this initiative is to develop a harmonized framework for geophysical data workflows, ensuring FAIR (Findable, Accessible, Interoperable, and Reusable) principles are consistently applied across disciplines. By leveraging expertise from agricultural research (FAIRagro), archaeology and cultural heritage protection (NFDI4Objects) and environmental and Earth System Sciences (NFDI4Earth), this initiative will help to establish workflows for standardized data formats and metadata schemas, and best practices for geophysical data handling. Additionally, it will foster interoperability between existing research infrastructures and promote sustainable data management. Hence, this approach aligns with the overarching goals of the NFDI by enhancing data accessibility and reusability, fostering interdisciplinary collaboration, and supporting data-driven research.

new hypothesis on the evolution of the hybosorid beetle capacity to conglobate their bodies into a tight ball (Coleoptera: Scarabaeoidea)
Creators: name: Grebennikov, Vasily V.
name: Smith, Andrew B.T.
Publisher: name: Fragmenta entomologica
Year: 2021

description: Although best known for the capacity to fully conglobate their bodies into a "perfect" spheroid, a few Ceratocanthinae (=pill scarabs; Coleoptera: Hybosoridae) have drastically different body architecture. Six South American species, or 1.5% of species diversity, have straight bodies incapable of any conglobation, while some 20% of species can achieve only incomplete body conglobation with legs and abdomen partly exposed. Historically, both latter character states were considered as ancestral and transitional, respectively, in the irreversible evolutionary "progression" towards full-body conglobation. Here we use molecular sequence data to hypothesize a new clade uniting all bodily straight and incompletely conglobate pill scarabs. Significantly, this clade is nested within a clade otherwise consisting of species capable of full-body conglobation. This topology implies that the most recent common ancestor of all pill scarabs had a capacity of full-body conglobation. Consequently, we re-interpret the pill scarab straight and partly conglobate body architectures as secondary reversals to the ancestral condition from the fully conglobate state. If so, the tribe Ceratocanthini uniting 98% of pill scarab species is rendered paraphyletic by two remaining and much smaller South American tribes, Ivieolini and Scarabatermitini. The latter contains three and five rare species, respectively, all of them supposedly termitophilous and all herein illustrated.

Challenging the Standard Model
Creators: name: Jean-Pierre Petit
Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2024

description: We review new observational data, such as the presence of immense voids in the universe and the early appearance of galaxies, which the Standard Model can no longer account for. We then consider an extension of general relativity, using a system of two coupled field equations to overcome these paradoxes. This model introduces physicscompatible negative mass. It fulfils the functions hitherto assigned to the dark matter-dark energy pair. In addition, taking up A. Sakharov's idea, it explains the non-observation of primordial antimatter, which is assigned a negative mass. In so doing, he gives a precise identity to the invisible components of the universe.
