Monoporella bouchardii (Audouin & Savigny, 1826) (Bryozoa, Cheilostomata): A forgotten taxon redescribed from Eastern Mediterranean material
Creators: name: HARMELIN, Jean-Georges
Publisher: name: Station Biologique de Roscoff (SBR)
Year: 2014

description: Flustra bouchardii Audouin, 1826, erected without description for a Mediterranean bryozoan species illustrated by Savigny (1817), remained enigmatic. It is shown here that this forgotten species belongs in Monoporella species (Cheilostomata, Monoporellidae), is common in the Eastern Mediterranean and was erroneously considered to be an Indo- Pacific species. Monoporella bouchardii is endemic to the Central and Eastern Mediterranean and might be a relict of the warm water pre-Messinian fauna. Its endemism is attested by the lack of records of any Monoporella species from the nearby Atlantic and the Red Sea, except for specimens recently discovered in the southern part of the Gulf of Suez. The similarity between these specimens and M. bouchardii suggests that they represent a sibling species or a case of anti- Lessepsian migration.

description: We consider continuously monitored quantum systems and introduce definitions of work and heat along individual quantum trajectories that are valid for coherent superpositions of energy eigenstates. We use these quantities to extend the first and second laws of stochastic thermodynamics to the quantum domain. We illustrate our results with the case of a weakly measured driven two-level system and show how to distinguish between quantum work and heat contributions. We finally employ quantum feedback control to suppress detector backaction and determine the work statistics.

description: This paper examines the response of stock market development to monetary policy in Tanzania using monthly time-series data for the period spanning from 2011 to 2020. The paper employs the autoregressive distributed lag (ARDL) to determine the response of stock market to monetary variables namely; money supply, inflation, exchange rate and interest rate. All the variables in the model are statistically different from zero. Based on these results, the paper showsthat there is a negative response of stock market development to interest rate and inflation suggesting that an increase in interest rate or inflation will result in a decrease in domestic market development. Conversely, empirical results show that there is a positive response of domestic market development to changes in money supply or real exchange rate suggesting that an increase in money supply or the exchange rate will lead to an increase in domestic market capitalization. The implication of this paper is that investors and policymakers should take into account the changes of monetary variables before making stock investment or policy to stabilize the stock market performance, which implicitly has an impact on the overall economy.
Fecundity, spawning strategy and oocyte development of shortfin squid Alloteuthis media (Myopsida:Loliginidae) in the Eastern Mediterranean
Creators: name: SALMAN, Alp
Publisher: name: Station Biologique de Roscoff (SBR)
Year: 2014

description: A total of 1,004 specimens of Alloteuthis media was collected by monthly samplings using a bottom trawl with a 44-mm mesh size. The depth range of trawls varied between 150 and 350 m. The maximum size (dorsal mantle length, ML) was 68 mm for males and 78 mm for females. Seasonal gonadal stages of both sexes were examined using a gonado- somatic index. Due to a bi-modal distribution of the oocytes in the gonad, the ovulation pattern of A. media is a group- synchronous type of ovulation and that spawning is continuous all year round. Two main reproductive peaks occur in the Aegean Sea, in April and in June. The potential fecundity of females ranged between 720 and 1284 oocytes. The smallest female with mature oocytes in the oviduct was 31 mm ML, while the biggest mature female was 78 mm ML. Size-at- maturity (ML50) of the population for males and females was 26-30 mm ML and 31-35 mm ML, respectively. This indicates an over fishing effect on A. media, as it also affects fish and forces them to early spawning.
Memorie familiari e genitorialità in trasformazione: raccontare le pedagogie della famiglia
Creators: name: Perillo, Pascal
Publisher: name: Rivista Italiana di Educazione Familiare
Year: 2017

description: The contribution concerns the theme of family memories from the perspective of family “pedagogies”, focusing on parenting as a continuous learning process. Family memories are the result of the transformation processes that characterize the family not only as an institution but also as educational community. The need to understand these transformations through reflection on the dynamics that determine them requires the practice of pedagogical counselling as a support to the processes of transformation of parents as educators and adults in learning.

Memorie familiari e narrazioni nella genitorialità e filialità adottiva
Creators: name: Paradiso, Loredana
Publisher: name: Rivista Italiana di Educazione Familiare
Year: 2017

description: The article analyzes the issue of family memory in the sense of identity, of family and socio-cultural belonging formation processes. The transformations in family memory following the discontinuity of family experience, with particular reference to parenting and adoptive filiation, are observed from the analysis of autobiographical and traumatic memory functions. Observing memory formation processes in biological and adoptive parenting can detect the impact that narrative has on the representation of the self, of the family and of social context. In relational discontinuity experiences, family narratives work on the family transition process and on another bonding and family membership formation process. Attention is paid to the analysis of the impact that the trauma of family separation has on memory processing and, in particular, on the implicit and explicit autobiographical memory to get to define the role of the adoptive family in narrative processes and in family memory formation.

description: In sympathetic neurons, unlike most nonneuronal cells, growth factor withdrawal–induced apoptosis requires the development of competence in addition to cytochrome c release to activate caspases. Thus, although most nonneuronal cells die rapidly with cytosolic cytochrome c alone, sympathetic neurons are remarkably resistant unless they develop competence. We have identified endogenous X-linked inhibitor of apoptosis protein (XIAP) as the essential postcytochrome c regulator of caspase activation in these neurons. In contrast to wild-type neurons that are resistant to injection of cytochrome c, XIAP-deficient neurons died rapidly with cytosolic cytochrome c alone. Surprisingly, the release of endogenous Smac was not sufficient to overcome the XIAP resistance in sympathetic neurons. In contrast, the neuronal competence pathway permitted cytochrome c to activate caspases by inducing a marked reduction in XIAP levels in these neurons. Thus, the removal of XIAP inhibition appears both necessary and sufficient for cytochrome c to activate caspases in sympathetic neurons. These data identify a critical function of endogenous XIAP in regulating apoptosis in mammalian cells.

description: The Caribbean is one of the richest areas for heterobranch sea slugs (traditionally called 'opisthobranchs') in the Atlantic. However, detailed information is lacking for most species. Recent studies have highlighted the importance of obtaining more data on Caribbean species. The present study documents new records of opisthobranchs resulting from fieldwork along the Caribbean coast of Costa Rica. A total of 70 species were collected and identified, 17 of which represent new records to Costa Rica. This increases the total known opisthobranch diversity to 152 species in the studied area. Potential species complexes were identified and commented. Future surveys, detailed species reports and comparative morphological and molecular studies are needed to improve the knowledge on the Caribbean opisthobranch fauna.

description: By analysing K2 short-cadence observations we detect starspots on WASP-85A, the host star of the hot Jupiter WASP-85Ab. The detection of recurring starspot occultation events indicates that the planet's orbit is aligned with the star's rotational axis ($λ<14^{\circ}$) and suggests a stellar rotational period of $15.1 \pm 0.6$ d. The K2 lightcurve reveals a rotational modulation with a period of $13.6 \pm 1.6$ d, consistent with the period determined from starspots. There are no significant transit-timing variations and thus no evidence of any additional planet in the system. Given the pronounced rotational modulation we are only able to place an upper limit of 100 parts per million for any phase-curve modulations and the secondary eclipse.

Arellano-Bond Generalized Method of Moments (GMM) technique was used to fit quarterly panel data of 27 commercial banks in Tanzania over the period 2012: I to 2017: II. The Pearson’s correlation matrix suggested existence of a positive linear relationship between the discount rate and the interbank cash market rate. The GMM estimation revealed the lagged lending rate, the interaction term of reserve ratio, lagged bank size, and the interaction term of lagged discount rate and lagged capitalization have a positive relationship with the lending behavior of commercial banks, while, reserve ratio and the interaction term of discount rate and lagged capitalization have a negative relationship with the lending behavior of commercial banks. The findings revealed the quantity-based monetary policy was stronger during the sample period but its effect was varied with the size and level capitalization of the banks.

description: The way to infer well-supported phylogenetic trees that precisely reflect the evolutionary process is a challenging task that completely depends on the way the related core genes have been found. In previous computational biology studies, many similarity based algorithms, mainly dependent on calculating sequence alignment matrices, have been proposed to find them. In these kinds of approaches, a significantly high similarity score between two coding sequences extracted from a given annotation tool means that one has the same genes. In a previous work article, we presented a quality test approach (QTA) that improves the core genes quality by combining two annotation tools (namely NCBI, a partially human-curated database, and DOGMA, an efficient annotation algorithm for chloroplasts). This method takes the advantages from both sequence similarity and gene features to guarantee that the core genome contains correct and well-clustered coding sequences (\emph{i.e.}, genes). We then show in this article how useful are such well-defined core genes for biomolecular phylogenetic reconstructions, by investigating various subsets of core genes at various family or genus levels, leading to subtrees with strong bootstraps that are finally merged in a well-supported supertree.

Differential kinetochore protein requirements for establishment versus propagation of centromere activity in Saccharomyces cerevisiae
Creators: name: Bloom, Kerry S.
name: Mythreye, Karthikeyan
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2003

description: Dicentric chromosomes undergo a breakage–fusion–bridge cycle as a consequence of having two centromeres on the same chromatid attach to opposite spindle poles in mitosis. Suppression of dicentric chromosome breakage reflects loss of kinetochore function at the kinetochore–microtubule or the kinetochore–DNA interface. Using a conditionally functional dicentric chromosome in vivo, we demonstrate that kinetochore mutants exhibit quantitative differences in their degree of chromosome breakage. Mutations in chl4/mcm17/ctf17 segregate dicentric chromosomes through successive cell divisions without breakage, indicating that only one of the two centromeres is functional. Centromere DNA introduced into the cell is unable to promote kinetochore assembly in the absence of CHL4. In contrast, established centromeres retain their segregation capacity for greater than 25 generations after depletion of Chl4p. The persistent mitotic stability of established centromeres reveals the presence of an epigenetic component in kinetochore segregation. Furthermore, this study identifies Chl4p in the initiation and specification of a heritable chromatin state.

description: Breast epithelial cells differentiate into tubules when cultured in floating three-dimensional (3D) collagen gels, but not when the cells are cultured in the same collagen matrix that is attached to the culture dish. These observations suggest that the biophysical properties of collagenous matrices regulate epithelial differentiation, but the mechanism by which this occurs is unknown. Tubulogenesis required the contraction of floating collagen gels through Rho and ROCK-mediated contractility. ROCK-mediated contractility diminished Rho activity in a floating 3D collagen gel, and corresponded to a loss of FAK phosphorylated at Y397 localized to 3D matrix adhesions. Increasing the density of floating 3D collagen gels also disrupted tubulogenesis, promoted FAK phosphorylation, and sustained high Rho activity. These data demonstrate the novel finding that breast epithelial cells sense the rigidity or density of their environment via ROCK-mediated contractility and a subsequent down-regulation of Rho and FAK function, which is necessary for breast epithelial tubulogenesis to occur.

description: This essay will focus on the issue of family education – intended as a learning context for parents – giving voice to the most significant aspects that distinguished Enzo Catarsi’s thinking. Catarsi prepared and activated many preparatory actions for the development of reflective parents, as people capable of managing responsibility linked to their roleindependently. Hismain aim was to improve parenting styles already present and implicit family potentials, through parental discussion and exchange, thus enhancing a promotional perspective linked to the concept of “empowerment”. A particular attention will be paid on the role of “family educator” who, according to Catarsi’s approach, can be carried out by an educator/teacher, who, through an appropriate training whose background coordinates are made up of both theories and empirical techniques, further enriches his/her educational professionalism, therefore contributing not only to promote the well-being of parents and their children but, in a wider sense, a better quality of life.

description: Family education and parenting practices are areas and human processes in continuous transformation. As it happens for all the other social life fields, they are closely connected to the cultural, political, economic system belonging to specific places and historical periods: hence, they evolve, resulting in more complex and totally new educational styles and relationships between parents and children. From these considerations, this essay aims at analyzing and approaching these changes, using autobiographical narration of some women who prove it by remembering their own experiences and their family life, as daughters, mothers and grandmothers.

description: Despite the commercial importance of the Gadiformes, many aspects of their classification are weakly established
 and disagreements exist on the phylogenetic relationships of various families. An attempt to determine the systematic
 significance of the scales is made in studying the morphology and the structure of the scales of 17 species belonging to nine
 families which were examined using light and electron microscopy. The scales are elasmoid and of the cycloid type in all
 families except in the Macrouridae in which they are of ctenoid or spinoid type. All these scales show the characteristics of
 typical Teleostei: they are made of acellular mineralized tissues, and the plywood-like structure of the basal plate is
 orthogonal or at least intermediate in Melanonus zugmayeri and Raniceps raninus. The reduction of the basal plate to only
 one ply in the scales of Muraenolepis orangiensis is concomitant with the reduced size of the scale. Collagen "TC" fibers
 crossing the plywood-like structure were only found in the basal plate of the scales of Lota lota, the only species completely
 confined to freshwater. A preliminary phylogenetic analysis suggests that Lota lota should be excluded from the Gadidae.
 The superficial ornamentations of the scales are thought to be related to the swimming. The morphological and structural
 characteristics of the gadiform scales could be considered at least as family-dependent.

description: Întegrins coordinate spatial signaling events essential for cell polarity and directed migration. Such signals from α4 integrins regulate cell migration in development and in leukocyte trafficking. Here, we report that efficient α4-mediated migration requires spatial control of α4 phosphorylation by protein kinase A, and hence localized inhibition of binding of the signaling adaptor, paxillin, to the integrin. In migrating cells, phosphorylated α4 accumulated along the leading edge. Blocking α4 phosphorylation by mutagenesis or by inhibition of protein kinase A drastically reduced α4-dependent migration and lamellipodial stability. α4 phosphorylation blocks paxillin binding in vitro; we now find that paxillin and phospho-α4 were in distinct clusters at the leading edge of migrating cells, whereas unphosphorylated α4 and paxillin colocalized along the lateral edges of those cells. Furthermore, enforced paxillin association with α4 inhibits migration and reduced lamellipodial stability. These results show that topographically specific integrin phosphorylation can control cell migration and polarization by spatial segregation of adaptor protein binding.

description: In this paper, we consider the problem of sensor selection for parameter estimation with correlated measurement noise. We seek optimal sensor activations by formulating an optimization problem, in which the estimation error, given by the trace of the inverse of the Bayesian Fisher information matrix, is minimized subject to energy constraints. Fisher information has been widely used as an effective sensor selection criterion. However, existing information-based sensor selection methods are limited to the case of uncorrelated noise or weakly correlated noise due to the use of approximate metrics. By contrast, here we derive the closed form of the Fisher information matrix with respect to sensor selection variables that is valid for any arbitrary noise correlation regime, and develop both a convex relaxation approach and a greedy algorithm to find near-optimal solutions. We further extend our framework of sensor selection to solve the problem of sensor scheduling, where a greedy algorithm is proposed to determine non-myopic (multi-time step ahead) sensor schedules. Lastly, numerical results are provided to illustrate the effectiveness of our approach, and to reveal the effect of noise correlation on estimation performance.

description: This is the first record of the phylum Gnathostomulida from Australia and Papua New Guinea. Of twenty species
 encountered, five are new. One also represents a new genus (Goannagnathia susannae gen. et sp. nov.), and four are new
 species (Pterognathia sica sp. nov., Agnathiella nominata sp. nov., Vampyrognathia varanus sp. nov., and Austrognathia
 australiensis sp. nov.); two others are not identified to species (Gnathostomula sp. 1 and G. sp. 2). The remaining species
 have been identified, some tentatively, with species previously recorded only in the Atlantic (Haplognathia gubbarnorum,
 Labidognathia longicollis, Tenuignathia rikerae, Austrognathia cf. christianae, and Austrognatharia cf. kirsteueri), or
 species already known from the Pacific (Haplognathia asymmetrica, H. rosea, H. ruberrima, Cosmognathia arcus,
C. bastillae, Pterognathia ctenifera, Gnathostomula cf. maorica, and Austrognathia nannulifera). At least nine of the 20
 species encountered (45%), all belonging to Filospermoidea and lower Bursovaginoidea-Scleroperalia, are cosmopolitan.

description: CONTEXT: The Virgo direction has been observed at many wavelengths in the recent years, in particular in the ultraviolet with GALEX. The far ultraviolet (FUV) diffuse light detected by GALEX bears interesting information on the large scale distribution of Galactic dust, owing to the GALEX FUV band sensitivity and resolution. AIMS: We aim to characterise the ultraviolet large scale distribution of diffuse emission in the Virgo direction. A map of this emission may become useful for various studies by identifying regions where dust affects observations by either scattering light or absorbing radiation. METHODS: We construct mosaics of the FUV and near ultraviolet diffuse emission over a large sky region (RA 12 to 13 hours, DEC 0 to 20 degrees) surrounding the Virgo cluster, using all the GALEX available data in the area. We test for the first time the utilisation of the FUV diffuse light as a Galactic extinction E(B-V) tracer. RESULTS: The FUV diffuse light scattered on cirrus reveals details in their geometry. Despite a large dispersion, the FUV diffuse light correlates roughly with other Galactic dust tracers (coming from IRAS, Herschel, Planck), offering an opportunity to use the FUV emission to locate them in future studies with a better resolution (about 5 arcsec native resolution, 20 arcsec pixels maps presented in this paper) than several usual tracers. Estimating the Galactic dust extinction on the basis of this emission allows us to find a smaller dispersion in the NUV-i colour of background galaxies at a given E(B-V)than with other tracers. The diffuse light mosaics obtained in this work are made publicly available.

description: The document has to be read in continuity with D6.1 ‘Legal and ethical requirement’. The document
 takes in legal considerations, practical guidelines and recommendations. In particular, it con-
 tains: (1) PDP guidelines to the Consortium partners for the execution of project initiatives
 and for the development of the Careables.org platform as well as PDP guidelines for designers
 and makers of Careables; (2) IPRs guidelines for the management of intellectual property
 rights during the development of a Careable; (3) key considerations and recommendations to
 explain with simple references the key concepts of tort law and liability for Careables makers
 and designers; (4) legal considerations on the application of MDL and the notion of manufac-
 turer according to EU law as well as MDL guidelines on how a given item may qualify as a
 medical device.
 The overarching objective of the document is to explain, in a plain and comprehensive man-
 ner, the key ethical and legal elements that might be relevant for the Made4You project and
 the Careables by providing at the same time easily understandable ethical and legal guidance.
 Ultimately, the document should guide the Consortium partners and open healthcare inter-
 ested audiences for the execution of co-design and creation processes for open health care
 solutions towards an ethically and legally sound approach.

description: The long-term changes in population dynamics of four Cymodocea nodosa meadows in western Ria Formosa were assessed in 1998 and 2008, a period comprising significant human-induced changes of hydro- and sedimentary- dynamics mainly related to an inlet relocation and to dredging of main navigation channels. After one decade, two of the four meadows were lost. One meadow declined due to sediment erosion that probably exceeded 14 cm, the local anchoring depth of the species. The other meadow was lost as a result of sediment burial, which probably exceeded 13 cm, the species burial threshold causing 100% mortality. The two prevailing meadows showed significant changes in plant growth, morphometry and demography. In 1998, both meadows were declining, as evidenced by the negative mortality rates. In 2008, both meadows showed intense shoot recruitment, being the majority of shoots younger than 1 year and few shoots older than that. This study evidenced the negative effects of mechanical/physical damages related to coastal engineering activities on C. nodosa meadows of Ria Formosa. The age structure of the surviving meadows after one decade shows that they are seriously threatened by continuous disturbances that may eliminate them, in spite of the species investment in recruitment and horizontal expansion.

description: The cosmogenic production of long-lived radioactive isotopes in materials is an hazard for experiments demanding ultra-low background conditions. Although NaI(Tl) scintillators have been used in this context for a long time, very few activation data were available. We present results from two 12.5 kg NaI(Tl) detectors, developed within the ANAIS project and installed at the Canfranc Underground Laboratory. The prompt data taking starting made possible a reliable quantification of production of some I, Te and Na isotopes with half-lives larger than ten days. Initial activities underground were measured and then production rates at sea level were estimated following the history of detectors; a comparison of these rates with calculations using typical cosmic neutron flux at sea level and a selected description of excitation functions was also carried out. After including the contribution from the identified cosmogenic products in the detector background model, we found that the presence of 3H in the crystal bulk would help to fit much better our background model and experimental data. We have analyzed the cosmogenic production of 3H in NaI, and although precise quantification has not been attempted, we can conclude that it could imply a very relevant contribution to the total background below 15 keV in NaI detectors.

description: Engagement of integrin receptors with the extracellular matrix induces the formation of focal adhesions (FAs). Dynamic regulation of FAs is necessary for cells to polarize and migrate. Key interactions between FA scaffolding and signaling proteins are dependent on tyrosine phosphorylation. However, the precise role of tyrosine phosphorylation in FA development and maturation is poorly defined. Here, we show that phosphorylation of type Iγ phosphatidylinositol phosphate kinase (PIPKIγ661) on tyrosine 644 (Y644) is critical for its interaction with talin, and consequently, localization to FAs. PIPKIγ661 is specifically phosphorylated on Y644 by Src. Phosphorylation is regulated by focal adhesion kinase, which enhances the association between PIPKIγ661 and Src. The phosphorylation of Y644 results in an ∼15-fold increase in binding affinity to the talin head domain and blocks β-integrin binding to talin. This defines a novel phosphotyrosine-binding site on the talin F3 domain and a “molecular switch” for talin binding between PIPKIγ661 and β-integrin that may regulate dynamic FA turnover.

description: Classical cadherin adhesion molecules are key determinants of cell–cell recognition during development and in post-embryonic life. A decisive step in productive cadherin-based recognition is the conversion of nascent adhesions into stable zones of contact. It is increasingly clear that such contact zone extension entails active cooperation between cadherin adhesion and the force-generating capacity of the actin cytoskeleton. Cortactin has recently emerged as an important regulator of actin dynamics in several forms of cell motility. We now report that cortactin is recruited to cell–cell adhesive contacts in response to homophilic cadherin ligation. Notably, cortactin accumulates preferentially, with Arp2/3, at cell margins where adhesive contacts are being extended. Recruitment of cortactin is accompanied by a ligation-dependent biochemical interaction between cortactin and the cadherin adhesive complex. Inhibition of cortactin activity in cells blocked Arp2/3-dependent actin assembly at cadherin adhesive contacts, significantly reduced cadherin adhesive contact zone extension, and perturbed both cell morphology and junctional accumulation of cadherins in polarized epithelia. Together, our findings identify a necessary role for cortactin in the cadherin–actin cooperation that supports productive contact formation.
