description: RNA viruses have been responsible for causing severe epidemics and pandemics all across the world in recent decades. This scenario has been constantly studied by viral epidemiological surveillance and molecular evolution methodologies to investigate the appearance of new viral agents in order to respond to these new threats before they reach the human population. In this context, bats have received notable attention for harboring several viral pathogens of zoonotic importance, such as Rabies, Ebola, Marburg, Nipah, SARS-CoV, MERS-CoV, SARS-CoV-2 pandemic, among others. Given this, the present project will apply techniques involving metatranscriptomics, Bayesian inference and machine-learning to investigate the presence, characterize, identify genetic signatures and map the diversity of RNA viruses at the interface of vertical transmission of different bats species inhabiting Brazilian Northeast. Through our approach, we also aim to test the hypothesis of vertical transmission of different viral agents through intra-host gene expression patterns, in addition to studying their evolution through phylodynamics, phylogeographic and phyloanatomy methods, approaches not undertaken in earlier investigations. We hope that such contributions will help to clarify mechanisms behind viral intra-host evolutionary dynamics and spread over time, as well as will promote measures on behalf of Public Health strategies aimed at preventing future epidemics and pandemics episodes.

description: In this study, an attempt has been made to evaluate the effect of products of β-galactosidase (βGS) catalyzed reaction i.e. glucose and galactose and their structurally related compound vitamin C (VC) on the catalytic activity of native and PANI-CS-NC and PANI-CS-Ag-NC adsorbed βGS. Results indicated a decline in catalytic activity of soluble enzyme in the presence of all investigated compounds. The order of inhibition was found to be VC < glucose < galactose. However, the immobilized preparations were found more resistant to inactivation caused by the added compounds. About 48% activity was retained by PANI-CS-Ag-NC-βGS in the presence of galactose (5%, w/v), while the native enzyme exhibited only 18% of its original activity. A significant decrease in absorbance and fluorescence intensity was evaluated in soluble enzyme incubated in the presence of all investigated compounds. Three-dimensional fluorescence graphs, CD and FT-IR spectroscopic studies illustrated noteworthy conformational changes in the secondary structure and microenvironment of the soluble enzyme in the presence of VC and tested sugars. These results suggest that both PANI-CS-NC and PANI-CS-Ag-NC bound βGS are more resistant to the exposure caused by the higher concentration of added glucose, galactose, and VC and, therefore, can be effectively utilized for the production of a hassle-free lactose nano-biosensor.

description: Architecture, from one point of view, is the art and science of designing buildings and structures. Due to the scope and extent of architecture, many factors affect the architectural business and professional work. One of these factors, which has an enormous impact on this profession, is the legal rules and regulations related to architectural practices. Architects are obliged to deal with different professional affairs and client issues from the beginning of their careers. Hence, architects must be aware of the rules and procedures and use them to promote their professionalism. The law should not be seen as an inconvenient factor or a burden but as a criterion for recognising the rights of individuals in a society. In the event of a professional dispute, the architect should be aware of his/ her own and others' legal responsibilities. The architect should be aware of the basic legal information and current law related to the architectural field and know that ignorance of the law does not relieve legal responsibilities. In other words, “Ignorance of the law is no excuse in any country. If it were, the laws would lose their effect, because it can always be pretended” . This book discusses the legal factors affecting the architects’ professional activities, and the necessary general knowledge of the law. In summary, it provides an introductory framework for the understanding of the legal, contractual, and procedural implications of architectural practices. The construction industry is generally a messy and high-risk business with significant amounts of money involved. Problems and misunderstandings typically end up in some form of dispute resolution. This book clearly explains the parties involved in the construction contracts and defines the professional relationships between the architects and the clients, consultants, contractors, engineers, construction managers, and so on. Furthermore, you can find information about resolution paths and necessary procedures to resolve disputes when they arise. The present book is in Persian and consists of 11 chapters. The book is a comprehensive collection that provides the necessary information related to the law from the graduation of an architect to the stage of practice, pathways to qualify as an architect, establishing the architectural office, contract formation, tendering process, dispute resolution, and many more issues.

description: The notion of the four foundational principles for “data” — Findability, Accessibility, Interoperability, and
 Reusability or “FAIR” — was proposed by Wilkinson et al. in “The FAIR Guiding Principles for scientific data management and stewardship” and envisages a set of first principles for research communities with respect to the management and curation of scientific data. FAIR principles can be seen as a “cross-cutting” cyberinfrastructure element that has broad application for the entire data lifecycle model for NSF large facilities.

description: Nonradiative transfer processes are often regarded as loss channels for an optical emitter1, since they are inherently difficult to be experimentally accessed. Recently, it has been shown that emitters, such as fluorophores and nitrogen vacancy centers in diamond, can exhibit a strong nonradiative energy transfer to graphene. So far, the energy of the transferred electronic excitations has been considered to be lost within the electron bath of the graphene. Here, we demonstrate that the trans-ferred excitations can be read-out by detecting corresponding currents with picosecond time resolution. We electrically detect the spin of nitrogen vacancy centers in diamond electronically and con-trol the nonradiative transfer to graphene by electron spin resonance. Our results open the avenue for incorporating nitrogen vacancy centers as spin qubits into ultrafast electronic circuits and for harvesting non-radiative transfer processes electronically.

description: Gene and drug delivery systems need crucial update in the issue of nanocarriers. Layered double hydroxides (LDHs) are known as biocompatible inorganic lamellar nanomaterials with versatile properties. In the present study, Zn/Al-LDH nanoparticle was synthesized and characterized by FTIR, XRD, SEM, TEM and Zeta potential tests and then intercalated with valproate and methyldopa by co-precipitation and ion exchange methods. These nanocarriers were applied as high activity nanolayers-based delivery systems. On the other hand, Zn/Al-LDH + plasmid/gene (pCEP4/Cdk9) evaluated on C2C12 myoblast cells. Co-operation loading indicated high efficiency of sorting and release of drugs. Additionally, the Real-Time PCR and Western blotting results for plasmid-gene (pCEP4/Cdk9) delivery showed that Zn/Al-LDH nanoparticles can be used as an effective carrier in cellular uptake and release of genes for gene therapy. Easy and cost-effective production of Zn/Al-LDH nanoparticles proposed them as potential alternatives for the traditional routs of drug/gene delivery.

description: Cancer therapies are aimed at eliminating the rapidly growing tumor cells by surgery and radiotherapy. The present therapies are only fruitful in early identified cases. The present study involves the preparation and characterization of eudragit S100-coated mini-capsules filled with chitosan nanoparticles-unconjugated and folic acid (FA)-conjugated encapsulating caspase 3 activator (7-hydroxystaurosporine). The formulated nanoparticles were compared for the cancer targeting and curing ability of the same by pre-investigation through drug release in organ-imitated fluids and ex vivo studies (cell viability, DNA fragmentation, caspase 3 activity), and then its confirmation through in vivo studies (tumor regression and distribution). The prepared nanoparticles were nearly spherical in shape, having positive zeta potential. From the cell line studies, it can be concluded that both the conjugated formulations showed better uptake, apoptosis, caspase 3 activation and DNA fragmentation. Stability study was performed according to ICH guidelines and formulation stored at 5° ± 3 °C was found to be most stable. The in vivo studies also supported the findings and showed better comprehensive residence time (23.61 ± 1.75 h), tumor distribution profile than UCN 01 alone. The results of in vitro, ex vivo and in vivo studies lead to the conclusion that the coated minicapsules specifically deliver the drug in the colon showing high therapeutic value and low side effects.

On Minkowski space and finite geometry

subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: The main aim of this interdisciplinary paper is to characterize all maps on finite Minkowski space of arbitrary dimension $n$ that map pairs of distinct light-like events into pairs of distinct light-like events. Neither bijectivity of maps nor preservation of light-likeness in the opposite direction, i.e. from codomain to domain, is assumed. We succeed in in many cases, which include the one with $n$ divisible by 4 and the one with $n$ odd and $\geq 9$, by showing that both bijectivity of maps and the preservation of light-likeness in the opposite direction is obtained automatically. In general, the problem of whether there exist non-bijective mappings that map pairs od distinct light-like events into pairs of distinct light-like events is shown to be related to one of the central problems in finite geometry, namely to existence of ovoids in orthogonal polar space. This problem is still unsolved in general despite a huge amount of research done in this area in the last few decades. The proofs are based on the study of a core of an affine polar graph, which yields results that are closely related to the ones obtained previously by Cameron and Kazanidis for the point graph of a polar space.

CLS estimator

description: Grahn, (1995) introduced the Conditional Least Squares estimators for the class (I) of bilinear models. Such estimators have a variance which is difficulty to derive analytically. The aim of the present paper is to consider the conditions under which to apply the Moving Block Bootstrap to estimate the variance and we show the weak consistency of the above bootstrap method relatively to the sampling distribution of CLS estimators. An important consequence is to select the length of the Blocks by a theoretical Influence function.

description: Experiments that observe coherent radio emission from extensive air showers induced by ultra-high energy cosmic rays are designed for a detailed study of the development of the electromagnetic part of air showers. Radio detectors can operate with 100% up time as e.g. surface detectors based on water-Cherenkov tanks. They are being developed for ground-based experiments (e.g. the Pierre Auger Observatory) as another type of air shower detector in addition to the fluorescence detectors, which operate with only ~10% of duty in dark nights. The radio signals from air showers are caused by the coherent emission due to geomagnetic radiation and charge excess processes. Currently used self-triggers in radio detectors often generate a dense stream of data, which is analyzed afterwards. Huge amounts of registered data requires a significant man-power for the off-line analysis. An improvement of the trigger efficiency becomes a relevant factor. In this work, Morlet wavelets with various scaling factors were used for an analysis of real data from the Auger Engineering Radio Array and for an optimization of the utilization of the resources in an FPGA. The wavelet analysis showed that the power of events is concentrated mostly in a limited range of the frequency spectrum (consistent with a range imposed by the input analog band-pass filter). However, we found several events with suspicious spectral characteristics, where the signal power is spread over the full band-width sampled by a 200 MHz digitizer with significant contribution of very high and very low frequencies. These events may not origin from cosmic ray showers but can be human-made contaminations. The engine of the wavelet analysis can be implemented into the modern powerful FPGA and can remove suspicious events on-line to reduce the trigger rate.

Therefore, there is an increasing demand for a scaffold being effective to prevent any possible infection and neutralize excessively released free radicals. Herein, we designed a PCL-based nanofiber loaded with ciprofloxacin hydrochloride (CHL) and quercetin. Developed nanofiber showed the formation of smooth and continuous nanofiber with 101.59 ± 29.18 nm average diameter and entrapping the drugs in amorphous form without any possible physico-chemical interaction between drugs and excipient. High entrapment efficiency (CHL: 92.04% and Que: 94.32%) and prolonged in-vitro release (for 7 days) demonstrated the capability of scaffold to suppress any probable infection and oxidative damage, which was further confirmed by in-vitro antibacterial and antioxidant activity. The biocompatibility of scaffold for direct application to wound site was evaluated through hemocompatibility and cytocompatibility assay. The wound healing efficacies of nanofiber were assessed using full thickness wound model in rats, which displayed accelerated wound healing with complete re-epithelialization and improved collagen deposition within 16 days. In-vivo wound healing finding was further corroborated by SOD, catalase, and hydroxyproline assay. The current study validates the application of ciprofloxacin HCl and quercetin functionalized nanofiber as a potential wound dressing material.

description: Diese Arbeit geht der Frage nach: «Was sind die Chancen und Risiken der Beratung von
Jugendlichen mit psychischen Auffälligkeiten in der Schulsozialarbeit?».
Das therapeutischen Versorgungsstrukturen sind zunehmend überlastet, die Schulsozialarbeit
muss auf die dadurch vermehrte Zuständigkeit reagieren. Diese Arbeit versucht einen Beitrag zu
ebendieser Herausforderung zu leisten. Die Schulsozialarbeit muss sich ihrem Auftrag klar sein
und ihr Handeln legitimieren können.
Die Autorin Anuschka Studer zeigt auf, dass sich klare Chancen darin zeigen, dass Jugendliche
(eingegrenzt auf das Oberstufenalter) mit psychischen Auffälligkeiten von der Schulsozialarbeit
unterstützt werden, um (noch) nicht in den pathologischen Kreislauf der Medizin zu gelangen.
Ebenso soll die Schulsozialarbeit die Risiken ebendieser vermehrten Zuständigkeit kennen und
auf die Grenzen reagieren können, um ihren Kompetenzbereich nicht zu übertreten.
Mit der Konfrontation des Fachbereichs Schulsozialarbeit und der Auseinandersetzung von
psychischen Erkrankungen, deren Behandlung und der Abgrenzung von Therapie und Beratung,
werden die Chancen und Risiken herausgearbeitet.
Aus der Arbeit resultiert eine Handlungsempfehlung für Schulsozialarbeiter*innen um zu
inspirieren und aufzuzeigen, welche vermehrte Zuständigkeit sich legitimieren kann und wo die
Möglichkeiten und Grenzen liegen.

description: The inference of flows of material in the interior of the Sun is a subject of major interest in helioseismology. Here we apply techniques of Full Waveform Inversion (FWI) to synthetic data to test flow inversions. In this idealized setup, we do not model seismic realization noise, training the focus entirely on the problem of whether a chosen supergranulation flow model can be seismically recovered. We define the misfit functional as a sum of L_2 norm deviations in travel times between prediction and observation, as measured using short-distance f and p_1 filtered and large-distance unfiltered $p$ modes. FWI allows for the introduction of measurements of choice and iteratively improving the background model, while monitoring the evolution of the misfit in all desired categories. Although the misfit is seen to uniformly reduce in all categories, convergence to the true model is very slow, possibly because it is trapped in a local minimum. The primary source of error is inaccurate depth localization, which, owing to density stratification, leads to wrong ratios of horizontal and vertical flow velocities (`cross talk'). In the present formulation, the lack of sufficient temporal frequency and spatial resolution makes it difficult to accurately localise flow profiles at depth. We therefore suggest that the most efficient way to discover the global minimum is to perform a probabilistic forward search, involving calculating the misfit associated with a broad range of models (generated, for instance, by a Monte-Carlo algorithm) and locating the deepest minimum. Such techniques possess the added advantage of being able to quantify model uncertainty as well as realization noise (data uncertainty).

description: Recent tumor genome sequencing confirmed that one tumor often consists of multiple cell subpopulations (clones) which bear different, but related, genetic profiles such as mutation and copy number variation profiles. Thus far, one tumor has been viewed as a whole entity in cancer functional studies. With the advances of genome sequencing and computational analysis, we are able to quantify and computationally dissect clones from tumors, and then conduct clone-based analysis. Emerging technologies such as single-cell genome sequencing and RNA-Seq could profile tumor clones. Thus, we should reconsider how to conduct cancer systems biology studies in the genome sequencing era. We will outline new directions for conducting cancer systems biology by considering that genome sequencing technology can be used for dissecting, quantifying and genetically characterizing clones from tumors. Topics discussed in Part 1 of this review include computationally quantifying of tumor subpopulations; clone-based network modeling, cancer hallmark-based networks and their high-order rewiring principles and the principles of cell survival networks of fast-growing clones.

description: The surface modification of polymeric materials has become critical for improving the bone repair capability of materials. In this study, we used a poly-L-lysine (PLL) coating method to prepare functional poly (lactic acid–glycolic acid) (PLGA) cell microcarriers, and bone morphogenetic protein 7 (BMP-7) and ponericin G1 were immobilized on the surface of microcarriers. The scanning electron microscopy (SEM), water contact angle measurement, and energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDX) was used to analyse the surface morphology of PLL-modified PLGA microcarriers (PLL@PLGA) and their ability to promote mineralization. At the same time, the growth factor binding efficiency and antimicrobial activity of the microcarriers were studied. The effects of microcarriers on cell behaviors were evaluated by cultivating MC3T3-E1 cells on different microcarriers. The results showed that the hydrophilicity, protein adsorption, and mineralization induction capability of the microcarriers were significantly improved by PLL surface modification. The biological experiments revealed that BMP-7 and ponericin G1 immobilized-PLL modified microcarriers can effectively inhibit the proliferation of pathogenic microorganisms while enhancing the ability of the microcarriers to promote cell proliferation and osteogenesis differentiation. Therefore, we believe that PLL-modified PLGA cell microcarriers loaded with BMP-7 and ponericin G1 (PLL@PLGA/BMP-7/ponericin G1) have great potential in the field of bone repair.

description: To determine and compare the effect of ankle-foot orthosis (AFOs) types on functional outcome measurements in individuals with (sub)acute or chronic stroke impairments. PubMed, Web of Knowledge, Embase, Scopus, ProQuest, and Cochrane were searched from inception until September 2020. Methodological quality assessment of 30 studies was conducted based on the Downs and Black checklist. Functional indices were pooled according to their standardized mean difference (SMD) and 95% confidence intervals (CI) in a random-effect model. A narrative analysis was performed where data pooling was not feasible. Overall pooled results indicated improvements in favor of AFOs versus without for the Berg Balance Scale (SMD: 0.54, CI: 0.19–0.88), timed-up and go test (SMD: −0.45, CI: −0.67 to −0.24), Functional Ambulatory Categories (SMD: 1.72, CI: 1.25–2.19), 6-Minute Walking Test (SMD: 0.91, CI: 0.53–1.28), Timed Up-Stairs (SMD: −0.35, CI: −0.64 to 0.05), and Motricity Index (SMD: 0.65, CI: 0.38–0.92). Heterogeneity was non-significant for all outcomes (I2 < 50%, p > 0.05) except the Berg Balance Scale and Functional Ambulatory Categories. Additionally, there was not sufficient evidence to determine the effectiveness of specific orthotic designs over others. An AFO can improve ambulatory function in stroke survivors. Future studies should explore the long-term effects of rehabilitation using AFOs and compare differences in orthotic designs.IMPLICATIONS FOR REHABILITATIONAn AFO can improve functional performance and ambulation in survivors of strokes.Wearing an AFO in rehabilitation care during the subacute phase post stroke may have beneficial effects on functional outcomes measured.There was no evidence as to the effectiveness of specific AFO designs over others.
