description: Background Vaccination is considered as most efficient strategy in controlling SARS-CoV-2 pandemic spread. Nevertheless, patients with autoimmune inflammatory rheumatic diseases receiving rituximab (RTX) are at increased risk to fail humoral and cellular responses upon vaccination. The ability to predict vaccination responses is essential to guide adequate safety and optimal protection in these patients. Methods B- and T- cell data before vaccination were evaluated for characteristics predicting vaccine responses in altogether 15 patients with autoimmune inflammatory rheumatic diseases receiving RTX. Eleven patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) on other therapies, 11 kidney transplant recipients (KTR) on regular immunosuppression and 15 healthy controls (HC) served as controls. A multidimensional analysis of B cell subsets via UMAP algorithm and a correlation matrix were performed in order to identify predictive markers of response in patients under RTX therapy. Results Significant differences regarding absolute B cell counts and specific subset distribution pattern between the groups were identified at baseline. In this context, the majority of B cells from vaccination responders of the RTX group (RTX IgG+) were naïve and transitional B cells, whereas vaccination non-responders (RTX IgG-) carried preferentially plasmablasts and double negative (CD27-IgD-) B cells. Moreover, there was a positive correlation between neutralizing antibodies and B cells expressing HLA-DR and CXCR5 as well as an inverse correlation with CD95 expression and CD21low expression by B cells among vaccination responders. Summary Substantial repopulation of the naïve B cell compartment after RTX therapy appeared to be essential for an adequate vaccination response, which seem to require the additional capability of antigen presentation and germinal center formation. Moreover, expression of exhaustion markers represent negative predictors of vaccination responses.

description: Background: Despite known health benefits of physical activity (PA), older adults remain among the least physically active age group globally with 30–60% not meeting guidelines. In Canada, 87% do not meet recommended guidelines. To influence population health, interventions that are effective in small trials must be disseminated at scale. Despite evidence for efficacy, few PA interventions are scaled up to reach the wider community. In 2015, British Columbia (BC) Ministry of Health released a PA strategy where older adults were identified as a priority. In partnership with the Ministry, the Active Aging Research Team co-created a health promotion program called Choose to Move (CTM). CTM will be implemented in three phases at increasingly greater scale across BC. The objective of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness of CTM during Phase I (pilot) and Phase II (initial scale up) on PA, mobility, and social connectedness among older adults in BC, Canada. Methods: We used a type 2 hybrid effectiveness-implementation study design, and herein focus on effectiveness. The implementation evaluation will be published as a companion paper elsewhere. Two community delivery partner organizations delivered 56 CTM programs in 26 large and small urban locations across BC. Outcome measurement occurred at 0 (baseline), 3 (mid-intervention) and 6 (post-intervention) months. We collected survey data from all participants (n = 458; province-wide) and also conducted a subset evaluation (n = 209). Results: PA increased significantly during the active intervention phase (baseline-3 months) in younger (60–74 yrs.; + 1.6 days/week; p < 0.001) and older (≥75 yrs.; + 1.0 days/week; p < 0.001) participants. The increase was sustained at 6 months in younger participants only, who remained significantly more active than at baseline (+ 1.4 days/week; p < 0.001). Social exclusion indicators declined significantly in the younger group. Mobility and strength improved significantly at 3 months in the younger group, and in both groups at 6 months. Conclusions: CTM adopted central tenets of implementation science that consider the complicated systems where interventions are delivered to improve public health. In this iteration of CTM we demonstrate that a partner-based health promotion intervention can be effectively implemented across settings to enhance PA, mobility and social connectedness in older adults.

description: The generation, differentiation, survival and activation of B cells are coordinated by signals emerging from the B cell antigen receptor (BCR) or its precursor, the pre-BCR. The adaptor protein SLP65 (also known as BLNK) is an important signaling factor that controls pre-B cell differentiation by down-regulation of PI3K signaling. Here, we investigated the mechanism by which SLP65 interferes with PI3K signaling. We found that SLP65 induces the activity of the small GTPase RHOA, which activates PTEN, a negative regulator of PI3K signaling, by enabling its translocation to the plasma membrane. The essential role of RHOA is confirmed by the complete block in early B cell development in conditional RhoA-deficient mice. The RhoA-deficient progenitor B cells showed defects in activation of immunoglobulin gene rearrangement and fail to survive both in vitro and in vivo. Reconstituting the RhoA-deficient cells with RhoA or Foxo1, a transcription factor repressed by PI3K signaling and activated by PTEN, completely restores the survival defect. However, the defect in differentiation can only be restored by RhoA suggesting a unique role for RHOA in B cell generation and selection. In full agreement, conditional RhoA-deficient mice develop increased amounts of autoreactive antibodies with age. RHOA function is also required at later stage, as inactivation of RhoA in peripheral B cells or in a transformed mature B cell line resulted in cell loss. Together, these data show that RHOA is the key signaling factor for B cell development and function by providing a crucial SLP65-activated link between BCR signaling and activation of PTEN. Moreover, the identified essential role of RHOA for the survival of transformed B cells offers the opportunity for targeting B cell malignancies by blocking RHOA function.
A measurement framework for international entrepreneurship policy research: from impossible index to malleable matrix

Publisher: name: Swinburne
Year: 2024

description: The Global Entrepreneurship Monitor (GEM), a multifaceted, multinational research programme now in its seventh year of field operation, currently dominates the field of international entrepreneurship policy research but faces a crisis of credibility. Despite having created and continuing to develop a very rich database capable of addressing many of the complexities requisite for understanding entrepreneurship at the national and international levels of analysis, GEM has chosen to disguise the depths of its potential research and policy utility through a misnamed quest for unobtainable simplicity at the centre of the project and a disorganised variety of report presentations at the periphery. Subsequent to a review of the entrepreneurial definitional literature and a resolution of its many themes into six components of entrepreneurial activity, based on Penrose's (1959/1995) articulation of the practical meaning of 'entrepreneurial services', this paper suggests that a 'malleable matrix' approach can provide a practical measurement framework capable of reporting national entrepreneurial activity in a structure that is comprehensive without being overwhelming.

description: Background and purpose A wide variety of metabolic changes, including an increased incidence of diabetes mellitus (DM) and dyslipidaemia, has been described in amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS). The aim of this study was to investigate the associations of statin use and history of DM with onset of disease and survival in patients with ALS. Methods In all, 501 patients (mean age 65.2 ± 10.9 years; 58.5% male) from the ALS Registry Swabia recruited between October 2010 and April 2016 were included in this prospective cohort study. Data were collected using a standardized questionnaire. Results Statin use (n = 65) was not associated with overall survival (P = 0.62). Age of ALS onset in patients with DM was 4.2 years later (95% confidence interval 1.3–7.2 years) than in patients without DM (P < 0.01). The overall survival of patients with high body mass index at study entry (>27.0 kg/m2, upper quartile, n = 127) was prolonged by more than 5 months compared to patients with low body mass index (<22.0 kg/m2, lower quartile, n = 123; P = 0.04). Conclusions This study supports the view that statin use is not associated with overall survival of ALS patients, suggesting that statins are not harmful and should not be discontinued in ALS. Furthermore, the delayed onset of ALS in patients with DM may mirror the potentially protective metabolic profile associated with type 2 DM. Consistently, this study provides further evidence that high body mass index is a positive prognostic factor in ALS

description: This paper presents novel data augmentation techniques for gesture recognition based on multistatic Doppler spectrograms. Contrary to intricate approaches such as generative models or simulations, the presented methods generate additional samples by manipulating data in time and Doppler frequency domain. Thus, they resemble well-known techniques from computer vision tasks, but produce physically plausible data. Moreover, based on a comprehensive dataset a thorough investigation of the impact of training data extent on cross-subject validation accuracy is conducted. It is demonstrated that accuracy tends to saturate with growing training sets, and that the techniques presented in this work can help to reach the accuracy at saturation with only half the number of measurements.

description: We report the development of an immunotherapeutic molecule, a humanized immunotoxin, for treating hCG-expressing advanced-stage cancers. PiPP, a high-affinity anti-hCG monoclonal antibody, is used in the immunotoxin for ‘homing’ hCG-positive cancer cells. The deimmunized (DI) form of α-Sarcin, a fungal-origin toxin that lacks functional T-cell epitopes, is used in the design to ensure minimal immunogenicity of the immunotoxin for repetitive use in humans. A single-chain variable fragment (scFv) of PiPP was constructed by linking the humanized VH and VL regions of the antibody. The scFv part of the antibody was further linked to the toxin α-Sarcin (DI) at the gene level and expressed as a recombinant protein in E. coli. The immunotoxin was purified from the bacterial cell lysate and analyzed for binding and cytotoxicity to hCG-secreting colorectal and pancreatic cancer cells. The results showed that the scFv(PiPP)-Sarcin immunotoxin was able to bind to colorectal and pancreatic cancer cells and killed approximately 85% of the cells. In vivo testing of the immunotoxin produced results similar to those of in vitro testing against colorectal adenocarcinoma-induced tumors. This immunotoxin could be a promising immunotherapeutic agent for treating colorectal, pancreatic and other terminal-stage hCG-expressing cancers.
Performing traditional knowledge using a game engine: communicating and sharing Australian Aboriginal knowledge practices

description: This paper challenges current practices in the use of digital media to communicate Australian Aboriginal knowledge practices in a learning context. It proposes that any digital representation of Aboriginal knowledge practices needs to examine the epistemology and ontology of these practices in order to design digital environments that effectively support and enable existing Aboriginal knowledge practices in the real world. Central to this is the essential task of any new digital representation of Aboriginal knowledge to resolve the conflict between database and narrative views of knowledge (L. Manovich, 2001). This is in order to provide a tool that complements rather than supplants direct experience of traditional knowledge practices (V. Hart, 2001). This paper concludes by reporting on the recent development of an advanced learning technology that addresses this.

description: Neural recording and modulation has evolved rapidly in recent years. Closed-loop neuromodulation systems have been successfully demonstrated for the treatment of Parkinson‘s disease and epilepsy. Chronically implanted medical devices, requiring compliance to rigorous safety regulations, employ numerous safety measures to protect the patient. One such measure to prevent direct current from being applied to the tissue in case of a system failure is typically the usage of external blocking capacitors between the electrodes and the neuromodulator. These capacitors can cause significant magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) magnetic susceptibility artifacts that appear as a shading effect. This paper presents some of the challenges which arise when evolving neuromodulation hardware from benchtop prototypes to biomedical systems for chronic implantation in humans. We propose a novel safety measure to mitigate the MRI shading issue while still complying to the relevant safety regulations. Furthermore, we propose several additional features that improve the flexibility and usability of a 32-channel neuromodulation platform. The neuromodulator was fabricated in a 180nm HV CMOS process and realizes a fully digital-to-neural interface.

description: Background Neurodegeneration in multiple sclerosis (MS) may be investigated in the visual system as optical coherence tomography (OCT) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) allows examining structural integrity in detail. The association between thickness of retinal layers and focal cortical volumes beyond the primary visual system has not been thoroughly investigated. Objective To investigate the association between focal cortical volume and thickness of retinal layers. Methods Fifty-four patients (relapsing–remitting MS, mean age 40.5 years, mean disease duration 7.6 years, median EDSS 2) underwent OCT and MRI. The association between focal cortical volume and OCT measurements was investigated with voxel-based morphometry (VBM). Patterns of association were determined with Yeo's functional network atlas and the Harvard-Oxford cortical atlas. We used GEE models with cortical volumes from the FreeSurfer parcellation to confirm VBM results. Post hoc, we analyzed the association between OCT, focal cortical volumes, and an extended neuropsychological assessment in a subgroup of 14 patients. Results Macular retinal nerve fiber layer (mRNFL) and ganglion cell /inner plexiform layer (GCIPL) showed a robust association with mainly the insular cortex and the cingulate cortex. VBM findings were confirmed with FreeSurfer volumes. The post hoc analysis detected significant correlations between both OCT outcomes and cognition. Conclusion Besides the primary visual system, OCT outcomes show a correlation pattern with cortical regions that are known to be important for cognitive performance, predominantly the insula in both hemispheres. Thus, OCT should be further investigated as a marker for neurodegeneration in MS.

description: L'errore di stima è un tema cruciale che riguarda la selezione di portafoglio. La maggior parte degli studi concerne le misure di rischio più famose, quali la varianza, il Mean Absolute Deviation (MAD), e il Conditional Value-at-Risk (CVaR). D'altro canto, al momento, non sembrano esserci studi riguardanti la stabilità di misure di rischio entropiche quali l'Entropic Value-at-Risk (EVaR) e il Relativistic Value-at-Risk (RLVaR). Utilizzando dati sia simulati sia storici, abbiamo trovato che, mentre l'EVaR e il CVaR manifestano un profilo di stabilità simile, il RLVaR è molto più sensibile al rumore.

However, it is unclear whether similar effects occur with alcohol-unrelated cues. We tested 116 early-abstinent alcohol- dependent patients and 91 healthy controls who completed a delay discounting task to assess choice impulsivity, and a Pavlovian-to-instrumental transfer (PIT) paradigm employing both alcohol-unrelated and alcohol-related stimuli. To modify instrumental choice behavior, we tiled the background of the computer screen either with conditioned stimuli (CS) previously generated by pairing abstract pictures with pictures indicating monetary gains or losses, or with pictures displaying alcohol or water beverages. CS paired to money gains and losses affected instrumental choices differently. This PIT effect was significantly more pronounced in patients compared to controls, and the group difference was mainly driven by highly impulsive patients. The PIT effect was particularly strong in trials in which the instrumental stimulus required inhibition of instrumental response behavior and the background CS was associated to monetary gains. Under that condition, patients performed inappropriate approach behavior, contrary to their previously formed behavioral intention. Surprisingly, the effect of alcohol and water pictures as background stimuli resembled that of aversive and appetitive CS, respectively. These findings suggest that positively valenced background CS can provoke dysfunctional instrumental approach behavior in impulsive alcohol- dependent patients. Consequently, in real life they might be easily seduced by environmental cues to engage in actions thwarting their long-term goals. Such behaviors may include, but are not limited to, approaching alcohol.

description: Effective in situ cancer vaccines require both a means of tumor cell death and a source of adjuvant to activate local dendritic cells. Studies have shown that the use of radiotherapy (RT) to induce tumor cell death and anti-CD40 to activate dendritic cells can result in in situ vaccination in animal models. Here, investigations are carried out on potential strategies to enhance such in situ vaccination. Strategies investigated include the use of smart immunogenic biomaterials (IBM) loaded with anti-CD40 in different tumor types including immunologically cold tumors like pancreatic and prostate tumors. The use of downstream checkpoint inhibitors to further boost such in situ vaccination is also examined. Results indicate that the use of IBM to deliver the anti-CD40 significantly enhances the effectiveness of in situ vaccination with anti-CD40 compared with direct injection in pancreatic and prostate cancers (p < 0.001 and p < 0.0001, respectively). This finding is consistent with significant increase in infiltration of antigen-presenting cells in the treated tumor, and significant increase in the infiltration of CD8+ cytotoxic T lymphocyte into distant untreated tumors. Moreover, in situ vaccination with IBM is consistently observed across different tumor types. Meanwhile, the addition of downstream immune checkpoint inhibitors further enhances overall survival when using the IBM approach. Overall, the findings highlight potential avenues for enhancing in situ vaccination when combining radiotherapy with anti-CD40.

description: Sustainable development in agricultural trade requires agents to embrace changes to traditional practises that favour conservation and investing into their communities to incite social change. Recently, there has been a shift to prioritise the sustainability of coffee production in developing countries, with many exports now being subject to voluntary sustainability standards (VSS). These VSS apply pressures to farmers to adopt more environmentally and socially conscious production methods. Unfortunately, the uptake of VSS has remained low. To explore potential motives for this low uptake, we present the results of a lab in the field experiment uncovering the effect of information provision and peer influence on the performance of Vietnamese coffee farmers in a repeated one-shot threshold public good game. The purpose of this experiment was to understand whether cooperation towards the provision of a sustainable public good can be increased through information diffusion. This paper endeavoured to highlight a causal link between being more informed and an individual's valuation of sustainability. Estimates of farmer's willingness to contribute revealed that those who discussed information with peers were more likely to invest in sustainability for their community. These findings suggest peer pressure can nudge farmers toward the more socially optimal outcome.

description: Smelter grade aluminium can be used as an electrical conductor application if the level of transition metal impurities is controlled precisely. Bauxite and petroleum coke are the main sources of such impurities in aluminium. Most of the impurities have significant effect on aluminium properties. Efforts have been done to supply relatively pure coke to aluminium smelters but still a list of impurities is found in the potline metal. The effect of transition metal impurities on electrical conductivity could be minimised if they are out of solution from aluminium and present in some solid phase. Industrially, boron treatment has been employed to combine transition metals into their borides. However, solution thermodynamic and reaction mechanism of borides formation are not well understood and further investigations are required. In this article a detailed thermodynamic analysis has been carried out to investigate the formation of borides. It is shown that diborides (MB2) are the most thermodynamically stable boride compounds of these impurities in the given working conditions. It is also shown that diborides of Zr, Ti, and V are the most thermodynamically stable phases at 650-900 degrees Celsius as compared with Cr and Al diborides. Thermodynamic stability of different phases is also affected by the presence of other diborides phases.

description: The synthesis of the new thermolabile ironnitrosylhydride complex FeH(NO)(CO)(dppf) is reported. (dppf = 1,1$\sp\prime$-bisdiphenyl phosphino-ferrocene). The facile decomposition of FeH(NO)(CO)(dppf) is interpreted in terms of a homolysis of the Fe-H bond and of a nitrosyl transfer reaction. The synthesis of the structurally characterized iron complex Fe(O=PPh$\sb2$(2-Py))$\sb3\sp2\sp+\cdot$2BF$\sb4\sp-$, by the reaction of Fe(NO)$\sb2$(THF)$\sb2\sp+$ with PPh$\sb2$(2-Py) is described. The proposed mechanism for the formation of Fe(O=PPh$\sb2$(2-Py))$\sb3\sp2\sp+\cdot$2BF$\sb4\sp-$ involves a combination of disproportionation and oxygen transfer reactions. This dipositive iron complex is the first example of a first row transition metal chelated by the oxide of diphenyl(2-pyridyl)phosphines. The synthesis and the reactivity of the cobaltdinitrosyl monometallic Co(NO$\sb2$(PPh$\sb2(2$-Py))$\sb2\sp+\cdot$BF$\sb4\sp-$, Co(NO)$\sb2$(Py)$\sb2\sp+\cdot$BF$\sb4\sp-$, Co(NO)$\sb2$(Py)$\sb2\sp+\cdot$BPh$\sb4\sp-$ and bimetallic Co$\sb2$(NO)$\sb3$(PPh$\sb2$(2-Py))$\sb2\sp+$ -BPh$\sb4\sp-$ complexes are reported. The single crystal X-ray diffraction study of Co(NO)$\sb2$(PPh$\sb2$(2-Py))$\sb2\sp+$BF$\sb4\sp-$ shows that the aminophosphine ligands are co-ordinated through their P-donor sites. In solution, Co(NO)$\sb2$(Py)$\sb2\sp+$BF$\sb4\sp-$ was stable whereas, Co(NO)$\sb2$(Py)$\sb2\sp+$BPh$\sb4\sp-$ decomposed rapidly. The structural study of Co(NO)$\sb2$(Py)$\sb2\sp+$BF$\sb4\sp-$ has led to the proposal of a new theoretical model in which the non-bonded repulsions between the NO and L ligands of the M(NO)(L) moieties provide the most influential factor for fixing the value of the (O)N-M-N(O) angle. The structurally characterized Co$\sb2$(NO)$\sb3$(PPh$\sb2$(2-Py))$\sb2\sp+$ -BPh$\sb4\sp-$ complex is the first example of a bimetallic containing two metal-metal bonded first row transition metals with diphenyl(2-pyridyl)phosphine as a bridging ligand. It is also the first example of a Co$\sb2$(NO)$\sb3\sp+$ bimetallic core stabilized by two diphenyl(2-pyridyl)phosphine ligands coordinated by the P and N donor sites of the ligands arranged in a head-to-head fashion.
