description: Betaine (N,N,N-trimethylglycine) plays key roles in mouse eggs and preimplantation embryos first in a novel mechanism of cell volume regulation and second as a major methyl donor in blastocysts, but its origin is unknown. Here, we determined that endogenous betaine was present at low levels in germinal vesicle (GV) stage mouse oocytes before ovulation and reached high levels in the mature, ovulated egg. However, no betaine transport into oocytes was detected during meiotic maturation. Because betaine can be synthesized in mammalian cells via choline dehydrogenase (CHDH; EC 1.1.99.1), we assessed whether this enzyme was expressed and active. Chdh transcripts and CHDH protein were expressed in oocytes. No CHDH enzyme activity was detected in GV oocyte lysate, but CHDH became highly active during oocyte meiotic maturation. It was again inactive after fertilization. We then determined whether oocytes synthesized betaine and whether CHDH was required. Isolated maturing oocytes autonomously synthesized betaine in vitro in the presence of choline, whereas this failed to occur in Chdh/ oocytes, directly demonstrating a requirement for CHDH for betaine accumulation in oocytes. Overall, betaine accumulation is a previously unsuspected physiological process during mouse oocyte meiotic maturation whose underlying mechanism is the transient activation of CHDH.

description: Many Americans have inadequate intakes of several nutrients. The Dietary Guidelinesfor Americans 2015–2020 specifically identified vitamins A, C, D and E, calcium, magnesium, iron, potassium, choline and fiber as “underconsumed nutrients”. Based on nationally representative data in 10,698 adults from National Health and Nutrition Examination Surveys (NHANES), 2009–2012, assessments were made of age-group differences in the impact of dietary supplements on nutrient intake and inadequacies. Compared to food alone, use of any dietary supplement plus food was associated with significantly (p < 0.01) higher intakes of 15–16 of 19 nutrients examined in all age groups; and significantly reduced rates of inadequacy for 10/17, 8/17 and 6/17 nutrients examined among individuals age ≥71, 51–70 and 19–50 years, respectively. Compared to the other age groups, older adults (≥71 years) had lower rates of inadequacy for iron and vitamins A, C, D and E, but higher rates for calcium. An increased prevalence of intakes above the Tolerable Upper Intake Level was seen for 8–9 of 13 nutrients, but were mostly less than 5% of the population. In conclusion, dietary supplement use is associated with increased micronutrient intake, decreased inadequacies, and slight increases in prevalence above the UL, with greater benefits seen among older adults.
title: Jewish-Indian transcultural encounters in the mid-twentieth century
Creators: name: Biswas, Tatini
Publisher: name: University of Glasgow
Year: 2024

description: This dissertation focuses on literary writings by and about European Jewish refugees in India and Indo-Jewish transcultural exchanges in the mid-twentieth century. To trace these neglected, often transformative exchanges between Jews and Indians, the project adopts a literary approach drawing on exile studies, postcolonial studies and memory studies. These texts bear witness to genocidal violence, exile, and consequent shifts in national identities. Through an exploration of intellectual exchanges, memoir, and fiction, this case study in multidirectional memory (Rothberg 2009) reveals new connections and constellations between European Jewish culture and the founding decades of modern India.

By considering fictional and non-fictional accounts of Jewish-Indian transcultural encounters, this project addresses the gap between cultural representations of Jewish refugee history and the founding decades of decolonised India. Presenting an alternative history against the grand narrative of British colonial history, this project complicates the India/Britain binary, adding a multicultural perspective to our understanding of modern India. It traces the way in which India, and Indians, are inscribed in the Jewish refugee experience and vice-versa. The project seeks to do justice to this unexplored chapter in cultural history, exploring interconnections between two global cultures. The project explores whether it is possible to align the discourse of Jewish affliction during and after the Holocaust with postcolonial studies in terms of the Indian context, as suggested by Aamir Mufti (The Jewish Question and Postcolonialism, 2007). I will consider the link between antisemitism and colonialism and examine how these two very different histories can be remembered in a dialogic process.

The approach draws on Rothberg’s concept of ‘multidirectional memory’: making comparisons and connections between different histories of oppression in order to ‘provide the grounds for new forms of collectivity.’ Tracing dialogues across borders, this project uncovers new forms of Indian-Jewish solidarity. This will build on the work of Aimé Césaire and Bryan Cheyette, making connections between Jewish studies and postcolonial studies. Moving between Indian and Jewish perspectives enables the project to reflect on historical connectedness across race, gender and class. As such, the case studies outlined here have the potential to inform current debates on decolonising the curriculum, particularly within Jewish Studies and de-Europeanizing Holocaust studies.
Is the Wisdom of a Person's Decision Relevant to Their Capacity to Make That decision? (Advance)

description: Significant uncertainty exists around the current test of capacity. It is agreed that the law is primarily directed at ‘function’; that is, an assessment of a person’s decision-making ability. However, there is conflicting authority over whether there is an ongoing role for ‘outcome’, that is, consideration of the perceived wisdom of the decision made by the person whose capacity is assessed. Recent cases in Australia and England and Wales have indicated that ‘outcomes’ are irrelevant to capacity, meaning any decision in which the perceived wisdom of a decision was weighed in the determination of capacity would be incorrectly decided. However, this article argues that these recent statements are incorrect interpretations of the applicable law in those jurisdictions. Moreover, it is argued that assessing capacity, even under a functional test, is an inherently normative procedure, from which consideration of the outcome of the decision cannot be fully extricated. Therefore, the challenge is not to prohibit consideration of outcomes in capacity assessment, but rather to manage their consideration, to ensure that they do not overwhelm functional capacity assessment. Suggestions for how this difficult balance can be performed are made.

description: The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has reported that nutritional deficiencies in the U.S. population vary by age, gender, and race/ethnicity, and could be as high as nearly one third of certain population groups. Based on nationally representative data in 10,698 adults from National Health and Nutrition Examination Surveys (NHANES) primarily from 2009–2012, assessments were made of race/ethnic differences in the impact of dietary supplements on nutrient intake and prevalence of inadequacies. Compared to food alone, use of any dietary supplement plus food was associated with significantly higher intakes of 14 to 16 of 19 nutrients examined in all race/ethnic groups; and significantly (p < 0.01) reduced rates of inadequacy for 8/17 nutrients examined in non-Hispanic whites, but only 3–4/17 nutrients (calcium, and vitamins A, D, and E) for other race/ethnic groups. Across race/ethnic groups an increased prevalence of intakes above the Tolerable Upper Intake Level (UL) was seen for 1–9/13 nutrients, but all were less than 5% of the population. In conclusion, use of dietary supplements is associated with increased micronutrient intake, decreased nutrient inadequacies, and slight increases in prevalence above the UL in all race/ethnicities examined, with greater benefits among non-Hispanic whites.

description: Usual paradigm in the theory of electron transport is related to the fact that the dielectric permittivity of the insulator is assumed to be constant, no time dispersion. We take into account the "slow" polarization dynamics of the dielectric layers in the tunnel barriers in the fluctuating electric fields induced by single-electron tunneling events and study transport in the single electron transistor (SET). Here "slow" dielectric implies slow compared to the characteristic time scales of the SET charging-discharging effects. We show that for strong enough polarizability, such that the induced charge on the island is comparable with the elementary charge, the transport properties of the SET substantially deviate from the known results of transport theory of SET. In particular, the coulomb blockade is more pronounced at finite temperature, the conductance peaks change their shape and the current-voltage characteristics show the memory-effect (hysteresis). However, in contrast to SETs with ferroelectric tunnel junctions, here the periodicity of the conductance in the gate voltage is not broken, instead the period strongly depends on the polarizability of the gate-dielectric. We uncover the fine structure of the hysteresis-effect where the "large" hysteresis loop may include a number of "smaller" loops. Also we predict the memory effect in the current-voltage characteristics $I(V)$, with $I(V)\neq -I(-V)$.

description: Matching a wavelet to class of signals can be of interest in feature detection and classification based on wavelet representation. The aim of this work is to provide a quantitative approach to the problem of matching a wavelet to electrogastrographic (EGG) signals. Visually inspected EGG recordings from sixteen dogs and six volunteers were submitted to wavelet analysis. Approximated wavelet-based versions of EGG signals were calculated using Pollen parameterization of 6-tap wavelet filters and wavelet compression techniques. Wavelet parameterization values that minimize the approximation error of compressed EGG signals were sought and considered optimal. The wavelets generated from the optimal parameterization values were remarkably similar to the standard Daubechies-3 wavelet.

description: Although >50% of U.S. adults use dietary supplements, little information is available on the impact of supplement use frequency on nutrient intakes and deficiencies. Based on nationally representative data in 10,698 adults from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Surveys (NHANES) 2009 to 2012, assessments were made of intakes from food alone versus food plus multi-vitamin/multi-mineral supplements (MVMS) of 17 nutrients with an Estimated Average Requirement (EAR) and a Tolerable Upper Intake Level (UL), and of the status of five nutrients with recognized biomarkers of deficiency. Compared to food alone, MVMS use at any frequency was associated with a lower prevalence of inadequacy (p < 0.01) for 15/17 nutrients examined and an increased prevalence of intakes >UL for 7 nutrients, but the latter was ≤4% for any nutrient. Except for calcium, magnesium, and vitamin D, most frequent MVMS use (≥21 days/30 days) virtually eliminated inadequacies of the nutrients examined, and was associated with significantly lower odds ratios of deficiency for the examined nutrient biomarkers except for iron. In conclusion, among U.S. adults, MVMS use is associated with decreased micronutrient inadequacies, intakes slightly exceeding the UL for a few nutrients, and a lower risk of nutrient deficiencies.

description: Each year, Ifremer assess the Bay of Seine stock of King scallop Pecten maximus, using data collected during a summer scientific survey. The survey COMOR47 took place from 30th of June to 17th of July 2017, during which 171 dredge hauls were made in the classified ground of Bay of Seine (located in French territorial waters) and the "Near Outside", area located further north, between the 12-mile limit and the parallel 49°48N.
The results of the assessment show, for all the areas surveyed, the best recruitment (2 years old individuals, cohort 2015) ever seen in the historical dataset, a better amount of adults (3 years old and more King scallop) than previous years, and a big difference for numbers of 1 year old juveniles scallops (pre-recruitment) between offshore and inshore areas, low level outside the French territorial waters, and massive amount inside. The exploitable biomass is estimated at 48572 and 18783 tons, respectively to the Bay of Seine and the “Near Outside”.

La campagne COMOR47 a eu lieu du 30 juin au 17 juillet 2017, au cours de laquelle 171 traits de drague ont été effectués, dans le gisement classé de la baie de Seine (situé dans les eaux territoriales françaises) et dans la partie « Proche Extérieur » située plus au nord, entre la limite des 12 milles et le parallèle 49°48N.
Les résultats montrent l’arrivée dans la pêcherie d’un recrutement exceptionnel (cohorte 2015) qui constitue le record absolu de la série historique, observé dans toutes les zones et en particulier dans la partie Est de la baie de Seine. A l’Extérieur de la baie de Seine, le reliquat d’individus adultes (coquilles Saint-Jacques âgées de 3 ans et plus) s’améliore légèrement, par contre les juvéniles de 1 an (cohorte 2016, qui viendra alimenter la pêcherie en 2018) est faible. Dans la baie de Seine (eaux territoriales françaises), le reliquat s’améliore également, et contrairement à l’Extérieur, la présence d’une quantité massive de juvéniles de 1 an (pré-recrutement) est observée. La biomasse exploitable est estimée à 48572 et 18783 tonnes, respectivement pour la baie de Seine et le Proche Extérieur.

description: Maternal diets low in choline, an essential nutrient, increase the risk of neural tube defects and lead to low performance on cognitive tests in children. However, the consequences of maternal dietary choline deficiency for the development and structural organization of the cerebral cortex remain unknown. In this study, we fed mouse dams either control (CT) or low-choline (LC) diets and investigated the effects of choline on cortical development in the offspring. As a result of a low choline supply between embryonic day (E)11 and E17 of gestation, the number of 2 types of cortical neural progenitor cells (NPCs)-radial glial cells and intermediate progenitor cells-was reduced in fetal brains (P < 0.01). Furthermore, the number of upper layer cortical neurons was decreased in the offspring of dams fed an LC diet at both E17 (P < 0.001) and 4 mo of age (P < 0.001). These effects of LC maternal diet were mediated by a decrease in epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) signaling in NPCs related to the disruption of EGFR posttranscriptional regulation. Our findings describe a novel mechanism whereby low maternal dietary intake of choline alters brain development.

description: Academic achievement in adolescents is correlated with 1-carbon metabolism (1-CM), as folate intake is positively related and total plasma homocysteine (tHcy) negatively related to academic success. Because another 1-CM nutrient, choline is essential for fetal neurocognitive development, we hypothesized that choline and betaine could also be positively related to academic achievement in adolescents. In a sample of 15-yr-old children (n = 324), we measured plasma concentrations of homocysteine, choline, and betaine and genotyped them for 2 polymorphisms with effects on 1-CM, methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase (MTHFR) 677C>T, rs1801133, and phosphatidylethanolamine N-methyltransferase (PEMT), rs12325817 (G>C). The sum of school grades in 17 major subjects was used as an outcome measure for academic achievement. Lifestyle and family socioeconomic status (SES) data were obtained from questionnaires. Plasma choline was significantly and positively associated with academic achievement independent of SES factors (paternal education and income, maternal education and income, smoking, school) and of folate intake (P = 0.009, R2 = 0.285). With the addition of the PEMT rs12325817 polymorphism, the association value was only marginally changed. Plasma betaine concentration, tHcy, and the MTHFR 677C>T polymorphism did not affect academic achievement in any tested model involving choline. Dietary intake of choline is marginal in many adolescents and may be a public health concern.

description: The relativistic plasma jets from a misaligned black hole-accretion disk system will not be axially symmetric. Here we analyze nonaxisymmetric, stationary, translation invariant jets in the force-free approximation where the field energy dominates the particle energy. We derive a stream equation for these configurations involving the flux function $ψ$ for the transverse magnetic field, the linear velocity $v(ψ)$ of field lines along the jet, and the longitudinal magnetic field $B_z(ψ)$. The equations can be completely solved when $|v|=1$, and when $|v|<1$ the problem can be reduced to the pure magnetic case $v=0$ by a "field line dependent boost". We also find a large class of nonaxisymmetric solutions with arbitrary dependence on the longitudinal retarded time. A subclass of these constitutes a novel type of jet that has vanishing electromagnetic pressure $\tfrac{1}{2}(B^2-E^2)$ and requires no external pressure for confinement. We prove that such self-confinement is impossible when $B^2>E^2$. Finally, we write down specific solutions approximating numerical results for the nonaxisymmetric jet produced by a spinning black hole in an external, misaligned magnetic field.

description: Considering the use of information technology and the increase of software provided by software providers, it is important to select the appropriate software from the software provided. Therefore, organizations need to have the tools to be able to examine and compare all aspects of the software offered in the tenders to select the appropriate software that meets the needs of the organization. It can be said that choosing the appropriate software system is a multi-criteria decision-making problem. In this paper, using the literature of research and opinions of experts, the indexes of the selection of appropriate software system are specified, then an executive model is presented to select the appropriate software from the software provided in the tenders of the organizations..\nIn the design of this model, the hierarchical analysis process has been used. Also, to illustrate how the model is implemented, a case study is conducted on the selection of software for data storage.

description: Ophthalmic changes have occurred in a subset of astronauts on International Space Station missions. Visual deterioration is considered the greatest human health risk of spaceflight. Affected astronauts exhibit higher concentrations of 1-carbon metabolites (e.g., homocysteine) before flight. We hypothesized that genetic variations in 1-carbon metabolism genes contribute to susceptibility to ophthalmic changes in astronauts. We investigated 5 polymorphisms in the methionine synthase reductase (MTRR), methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase (MTHFR), serine hydroxymethyltransferase (SHMT), and cystathionine β-synthase (CBS) genes and their association with ophthalmic changes after flight in 49 astronauts. The number of G alleles of MTRR 66 and C alleles of SHMT1 1420 both contributed to the odds of visual disturbances. Preflight dehydroepiandrosterone was positively associated with cotton wool spots, and serum testosterone response during flight was associated with refractive change. Block regression showed that B-vitamin status and genetics were significant predictors of many of the ophthalmic outcomes that we observed. In one example, genetics trended toward improving (P = 0.10) and B-vitamin status significantly improved (P < 0.001) the predictive model for refractive change after flight. We document an association between MTRR 66 and SHMT1 1420 polymorphisms and spaceflight-induced vision changes. This line of research could lead to therapeutic options for both space travelers and terrestrial patients.
Eye Tracking Method in Human-Computer Interaction: Assessing the Interaction based on the Eye Movement Data
Publisher: name: Iranian Research Institute for Information Science and Technology (IranDoc)
Year: 2018

description: Nowadays most of the day today services we receive are based upon computer systems. Services such as information searching or online shopping are considered among the most frequent online information systems’ services.\nUsers assess and process the information they receive from information systems. The theory of mind information processing asserts that humans process and analyze the information they receive from their environment. This theory also deals with the perception and recognition.\nUser-interface paves the way regarding using and reaching the goal for the ultimate users. If user-interface is designed properly, the way through which the user reaches his/her goal would be a logical one; otherwise the lack of solidarity would result in system misuse. In other words if the user-interface grabs the user’s attention, the interaction with the user would be successful.\nFor studying the human-computer interaction a lot of methods have been proposed. Eye-tracking method is one of them. This method makes it possible to gather qualitative and quantitative data in this regard. Eyesight is very important regarding human perception, thus its data could be invaluable. The basis of this method is mind-eye theory which says eyes’movements could show the attention of a person regarding a picture or stimuli. This attention could report passion or problem. There are different types of eye movement, such as a fixation and saccade.\nEye tracking delivers a voluminous data regarding users’ attention in the form of quick and unconscious processes. Analyzing the eye-movement data is hard and its data extraction is tedious. Moreover the test environment and users’ health are also of great importance in this regard. At last one must mention that eye movement data is invaluable for assessing the bottom-up cognition of the world and the top-down perception of mind.

description: Although many studies have been conducted on the components present in human breast milk (HM), research on the differences of chemical metabolites between HM, bovine milk (BM) and formula milk (FM) is limited. This study was to explore the chemical diversity of HM, BM and FM by metabolomic approaches. GC-TOFMS and UPLC-QTOFMS were applied to investigate the metabolic compositions in 30 HM samples, 20 FM samples and 20 BM samples. Metabolite profiling identified that most of the non-esterified fatty acids, which reflected the hydrolysis of triglycerides, were much more abundant in HM than those in FM and BM, except for palmitic acid and stearic acid. The levels of tricarboxylic acid (TCA) intermediates were much higher in FM and BM than those in HM. Each type of milk also showed its unique composition of free amino acids and free carbohydrates. In conclusion, higher levels of non-esterified saturated fatty acids with aliphatic tails <16 carbons, monounsaturated fatty acids and polyunsaturated fatty acids and lower levels of TCA intermediates are characteristic of HM, as compared with FM and BM. The content of non-esterified fatty acids may reflect the hydrolysis of triglycerides in different milk types.
