description: Urinary excretion of 17-ketosteroid (17-KS) was assessed in male pre-pubertal subjects aged (8–11 years; n = 90). Children living near sewage treatment plant and solid waste disposal plant (Group P) showed significantly higher levels of urinary 17-KS (Group P: 3.27 ± 1.63 µg/mL/CRE; p < 0.01) than children living in cleaner area (0.50 ± 0.53 µg/mL/CRE; Group C). Occurrence of urinary dibutyl phthalate in representative subjects of Group P (odds ratio: 9; p < 0.05; 95% of Confidence interval (CI) 1.93–72.99) was higher compared to Group C. Urinary concentrations of Cd (0.85 µg/g CRE ± 0.11), Mn (24.25 µg/g CRE ± 6.11) and Pb (12.39 µg/g CRE ± 2.86) in Group P were significantly (p < 0.01) higher than those found in Group C (Cd (0.28 µg/g CRE ± 0.03), Mn (13.33 µg/g CRE ± 3.20) and Pb (5.67 µg/g CRE ± 0.53)). Analyses of ambient air samples (PM10) in polluted area revealed major occurrence of phthalates, whereas derivatives of trifluoromethyl, dione, etc. were identified in PM2.5 fraction. Metal (Cd, Co, Mn and Pb) concentrations in ambient air (24 h, PM10) were higher in polluted area compared to cleaner area. We conclude that elevated levels of urinary 17-KS in Group P could be attributed to higher exposure of these subjects to Endocrine disrupting chemicals (EDCs) compared to Group C.
Il paradosso dei paesaggi disturbati dalla transizione energetica. L’isola di Pantelleria verso nuovi ecosistemi

description: The energy transition process is often restrained by oppositions and paradoxes that block its effective realization. The landscape project, as an instrument for anticipating future spatial arrangements of a territory, can help to address the process by integrating infrastructural, touristic and environmental systems in a coherent vision. The article explores this option within the case-study of Pantelleria, emphasizing opportunities and obstacles linked to a scenario-based approach and arguing that a change in the energy production must correspond to a parallel evolution in the ways of generating and interpreting new landscapes. The path towards the island’s self-sufficiency is developed through the proposal for a large-scale “energy ecosystem”, capable of establishing alternative uses of the territory by narrating the dynamic interaction between the elements involved in the transition process: light, air, land and water

description: Background: Motorcycles are the most popular vehicles in Taiwan, where more than 14.8 million motorcycles (1 motorcycle per 1.6 people) are in service. Despite the mandatory helmet law passed in 1997, less than 80% of motorcyclists in Taiwan wear helmets. Objective: The objective of this study was to analyze the effect of using motorcycle helmets on fatality rates. Methods: A clinical data set including 2,868 trauma patients was analyzed; the cross-sectional registration database was administered by a university medical center in Central Taiwan. A path analysis framework and multiple logistic regressions were used to estimate the marginal effect of helmet use on mortality. Results: Using a helmet did not directly reduce the mortality rate but rather indirectly reduced the mortality rate through intervening variables such as the severity of head injuries, number of craniotomies, and complications during therapeutic processes. Wearing a helmet can reduce the fatality rate by 1.3%, the rate of severe head injury by 34.5%, the craniotomy rate by 7.8%, and the rate of complications during therapeutic processes by 1.5%. These rates comprise 33.3% of the mortality rate for people who do not wear helmets, 67.3% of the severe head injury rate, 60.0% of the craniotomy rate, and 12.2% of the rate of complications during therapeutic processes. Discussion: Wearing a helmet and trauma system designation are crucial factors that reduce the fatality rate.

description: Urinary excretion of 17-ketosteroid (17-KS) was assessed in male pre-pubertal subjects aged (8–11years; n = 90). Children living nearby sewage treatment plant (STP) and solid waste disposal plant (Group P) showed significantly higher levels of urinary 17-KS (Group P: 3.27±1.63 µg/mL/CRE; p<0.01) than children living in cleaner area (0.50±0.53 µg/mL/CRE; Group C).

Analyses of ambient air samples (PM10) in polluted area revealed major occurrence of phthalates, whereas derivatives of trifluoromethyl, dione etc., were identified in PM2.5 fraction. Metal (Cd, Co, Mn and Pb) concentrations in ambient air (24h, PM10) were higher in polluted area compared to cleaner area. We conclude that elevated levels of urinary 17–KS in Group P could be attributed to higher exposure of these subjects to EDCs compared to Group C.

description: The information technology (IT) sector plays a pivotal role in the global economy, driving significant innovations that influence every aspect of modern life. However, this field exhibits notable gender disparities, with women significantly underrepresented, particularly in technical and leadership roles. This paper explores the historical contributions of women in IT, highlights the current state of female participation, identifies barriers to their full involvement, and discusses the benefits of a more gender-diverse workforce. Through a review of educational programs, mentorship initiatives, and corporate efforts to enhance diversity, the article underscores the need for concerted efforts to empower women in IT. The discussion extends to how increasing women's participation not only drives innovation and creativity but also promotes economic growth and broader social inclusion. The article concludes by emphasizing the critical role of integrating women into IT to ensure the future of the sector is as diverse as the community it serves, which is essential for fostering technological advancements and an inclusive digital economy.

description: This project was conducted by five graduate students from the School For Environment and Sustainability (SEAS) in University of Michigan as a master’s capstone project to assist Meijer in evaluating the embodied carbon emissions from the construction supply chains of its new supercenter. The results include the baseline model and potential strategies of reducing embodied carbon emissions, which could help Meijer further reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. A baseline model of embodied carbon emissions associated with the construction of Meijer’s Supercenter was developed using data provided by the Meijer construction team. This data included key project details, material specifications, transportation distances, and on-site energy usage. The analysis identified materials with the highest embodied carbon emissions—particularly during the Product Stage—while also quantifying emissions from the Transport and Construction Stages, which were comparatively smaller in impact. Among all materials, cement emerged as the most significant contributor to embodied carbon. Additionally, the analysis showed that switching to alternative manufacturers, without altering material types, could reduce total embodied carbon emissions by up to 32% compared to the baseline scenario. Building on these findings, a sensitivity analysis was conducted to evaluate the potential of alternative materials and emerging technologies for further emissions reductions. In the raw material extraction, processing, and manufacturing stages, the team recommends reducing embodied carbon by using low-carbon cement with industry by-products or Carbon Capture, Utilization and Storage (CCUS)-equipped suppliers, low-emission steel made with biomass, hydrogen direct reduction technology, or from CCUS-equipped suppliers, asphalt with recycled materials, low-carbon insulation sheathing, energy efficient roofing, and mass timber. In the transport stage, the team recommends using hybrid trucks to reduce transport emissions in the short term and switch to electric trucks in the future. For on-site construction, emissions can be reduced by installing rooftop solar panels on site offices and using biodiesel or green hydrogen in generators.
title: Death or disomy: perturbing mps1 kinase in the pathogenic yeast, Cryptococcus neoformans

subject: Titan Cells

description: In this study, I explore a crucial catalytic component of the Spindle Assembly Checkpoint (SAC), the kinase Mps1, in the understudied pathogenic yeast Cryptococcus neoformans. The SAC acts to monitor the attachment of spindle microtubules to kinetochores during metaphase, preventing the onset of anaphase until all chromosomes are correctly attached. Whilst well characterised in other models, the SAC is little understood in basidiomycete such as C. neoformans. I hypothesise that perturbation of the SAC via inhibition of Mps1 may result in increased rates of chromosome miss-segregation, leading to aneuploidy and cell death. Additionally, I believe that the unusual, polyploid titan cells formed by C. neoformans upon infection may be particularly susceptible to this perturbation given the complex nature of cell division from such large genomes (112 chromosomes in an octoploid titan). Here I show that MPS1 gene deletion and inhibition of kinase activity prevents SAC activation in C. neoformans. Furthermore, I show that Mps1 targets conserved checkpoint components, and that mutation of a single conserved ‘MELT’ motif in the kinetochore component Spc105 prevents activation of the SAC in a synthetic arrest system. Dissection and plating assays in mps1Δ strains show distinct viability defects and temperature sensitive phenotypes, and whole genome sequencing reveals a partial disomy in chromosome 6 in these strains. Titan dissection assays in mps1Δ strains build on these observations, showing further severity in viability defects in comparison to cycling populations, and inhibition studies hint at a novel role for Μps1 in the formation and maintenance of viable titans. Finally, exploration of a range of inhibitor candidates by in-vivo, in-vitro and in-silico methods reveals potentially exploitable differences in selectivity towards human and cryptococcus homologues of this protein. This work presents an attractive case for Mps1 as a future therapeutic target in C. neoformans, establishing the kinase as crucial for the activity of a central mitotic checkpoint, as well as the viability of haploid yeast populations and titans.

description: Electron exchange columns were developed by utilizing the redox properties of polyoxometalates (POMs) entrapped in silica matrices via the sol–gel route. The properties of the columns strongly depend on the composition of the precursors used to prepare the matrices. The columns exhibit good reversibility and are the first ‘reducing’ electron exchange columns ever prepared. They are also the first columns where both the matrix and the entrapped redox agent are inorganic compounds. This increases their stability. However, the redox properties of the entrapped POMs in the matrices are affected by the composition of the matrices.

description: This project, conducted on behalf of Merit Network in collaboration with the University of Michigan's School for Environment and Sustainability, aimed to address the challenges of digital equity and environmental sustainability in broadband internet infrastructure provision in Michigan. Merit Network operates as an Internet Service Provider (ISP) for educational and research institutions in Michigan. As a team, we evaluated the environmental impact of Merit's internet infrastructure and operations and provided recommendations for enhancing sustainability. Our research approach used two primary methods: life cycle assessment (LCA) and energy use analysis. We conducted a comprehensive evaluation of the environmental impacts associated with Merit Network's data centers and fiber network infrastructure using LCA. This entailed a systematic review of the entire lifecycle of their infrastructure, from construction and installation to operation and end-of-life disposal. By quantifying inputs and outputs at each stage, we provided strategies for Merit to reduce its environmental footprint. In parallel with our LCA, we examined Merit Network’s energy use through utility bill analysis. This method provided valuable insights into energy use patterns, such as seasonal variations and peak use periods across different data centers and network components. By analyzing these patterns, we identified outliers, inefficiencies, and opportunities for energy-saving measures. Our findings offered a new understanding of the environmental ramifications of Merit Network's operations and provide a baseline for measuring future improvements.

description: The detailed mechanism of protein folding–unfolding processes with the aid of osmolytes has been a leading topic of discussion over many decades. We have used replica-exchange molecular dynamics simulation to propose the molecular mechanism of interaction of a 20-residue mini-protein with urea and trimethylamine N-oxide (TMAO) that act as denaturing and protecting osmolyte, respectively, in binary osmolyte solutions. Urea is found to exert its action by interacting directly with the protein residues. Temperature tolerance of TMAO’s action is particularly emphasised in this study. At lower range of temperature, TMAO acts as a successful protein protectant. Interestingly, the study discloses the tendency of TMAO molecules to prefer self-association at the protein surface at elevated temperature. A greater number of TMAO molecules in the protein hydration shell at higher temperature is also observed. Dihedral angle principal component analysis and free energy landscape plots sampled all possible conformations adopted by the protein that reveal highly folded behaviour of the protein in pure water and binary TMAO solutions and highly unfolded behaviour in presence of urea.

description: The distance between landscape visions, defined within local communities through diverse participatory processes and landscape planning logics at a regional scale, is expressed by conflictive landscapes. In such changing spaces, which from time to time take on a different definition, context-dependent initiatives, promoted by local authorities and based on grass-roots knowledge, interplay and clash with planning modes driven by specialised knowledge responding to different political needs and defined by homologating normative. The research explores the different approaches to such ‘contested landscapes’ through the analysis of the relationships between community inputs and planning tools definition in the experience of the Friuli Venezia Giulia Regional Landscape Plan

Year: 2020

description: The indication of the food origin is one of the most important tools to ensure the protection of consumers and farmers. It is also very important to maintain and enhance rural landscape, especially in Italy and within agri-food productions with geographical indications. The strong link in terms of identity and culture between the territory and these products, a heritage preserved by farmers from generation to generation, is apparently intangible, but actually, it emerges in the fields configuration and in the traditional landscape features. Supporting agri-food production with deep territorial and cultural origins, means promoting a model anchored in local economies and rural communities. However, the risk of losing this heritage is still real, especially in our country and despite the several tools of protection and promotion in the agri-food sector. In this paper, the author shows the authenticity of the link between landscape and agri-food products through the analysis of a Piedmont case and the spatial analysis of the geographical context and territorial relationship (protection, naturalness, visual integrity and accessibility). In addition, the paper suggests some technical and political issues that can contribute to the debate on the heritage integrated vision, considered also as a potential lever of development

description: L'ensemble de ces notes ont été crée par John Baldwin lors d'une de ses premières périodes de résidence à Paris. Ces documents comprennent tous les magistri qu’il avait pu rencontrer dans ses sources. Aux XIIème et XIIIème siècles, les universités n'existant pas encore, le titre de magister s'il évoque certainement une compétence n'est pas rattaché de façon systématique au passage par les écoles. De surcroît, les magistris sont le plus souvent désignés par leur seul prénom. La lecture de ces données est donc difficile et suppose un long travail pour tenter d'identifier un individu auquel on pourrait rattacher plusieurs mentions. John Baldwin avait donc renoncé à utiliser ces données pour donner un prolongement à sa magnifique étude sur les gradués d'université et leur emploi par les Capétiens et les Plantagenêts. Néanmoins, il a conservé ces données et elles sont potentiellement très utile dans le cadre de Studium, comme le sont toutes les mentions dans les volumes des Fasti Ecclesiae Gallicanae de chanoines portant ce titre de magister sans autres précisions. L'ampleur des dépouillements rend ces données très utiles et nous devons une grande reconnaissance à John Baldwin pour avoir pris la peine de faire photocopier ses fiches et de nous les avoir transmises amicalement.
Les données ainsi que les images des fiches sont accessibles sur le site Internet à l'adresse suivante : http://studium-baldwin.lamop.fr/.
Les transcriptions des fiches ont été effectuées par des étudiants de Paris 1 Panthéon - Sorbonne mais elles n'ont pas été corrigées par la suite.

description: Computational characterizations of aortic valve hemodynamics have typically discarded the effects of coronary flow. The objective of this study was to complement our previous fluid–structure interaction aortic valve model with a physiologic coronary circulation model to quantify the impact of coronary flow on aortic sinus hemodynamics and leaflet wall shear stress (WSS). Coronary flow suppressed vortex development in the two coronary sinuses and altered WSS magnitude and directionality on the three leaflets, with the most substantial differences occurring in the belly and tip regions.

description: Purpose: This study investigated the relationship between children’s language difficulties and health care costs using the 2004–2012 Longitudinal Study of Australian Children (LSAC). Method: Language difficulties were defined as scores ≤1.25SD below the standardised mean on measures of directly assessed receptive vocabulary (4–9 years) and teacher-reported language and literacy (10–13 years). Participant data were individually linked to administrative data, which were sourced from Australia’s universal subsidised healthcare scheme (Medicare). Result: It was found that healthcare costs over each 2-year age band were higher for children with language difficulties than without in the 4–5-year-age bracket (mean difference = AU$357, 95%CI $59, $659), in the 6–7-year-age bracket (mean difference = AU$602, 95%CI $136, $1068) and in the 10–11-year-age bracket (mean difference = AU$504, 95%CI $153, $854). Out-of-pocket costs, that is the portion of healthcare costs paid for by the family, were also higher for children with than without language difficulties in the 4–5-year-age bracket (mean difference = AU$123, 95%CI $46, $199), in the 6–7-year-age bracket (mean difference = AU$176, 95%CI $74,278) and in the 10–11-year-age bracket (mean difference = AU$79, 95%CI $6, $152). Medical services accounted for 97% of total healthcare cost differences. Conclusion: Overall the findings from this study suggest that language difficulties are associated with increased healthcare costs at key developmental milestones, notably early childhood and as a child approaches the teenage years.

description: Long-term psychosocial stress is strongly associated with negative physical and mental health outcomes, as well as adverse health behaviours; however, little is known about the role that stress plays on the epigenome. One proposed mechanism by which stress affects DNA methylation is through health behaviours. We conducted an epigenome-wide association study (EWAS) of cumulative psychosocial stress (n = 2,689) from the Health and Retirement Study (mean age = 70.4 years), assessing DNA methylation (Illumina Infinium HumanMethylationEPIC Beadchip) at 789,656 CpG sites. For identified CpG sites, we conducted a formal mediation analysis to examine whether smoking, alcohol use, physical activity, and body mass index (BMI) mediate the relationship between stress and DNA methylation. Nine CpG sites were associated with psychosocial stress (all p < 9E–07; FDR q < 0.10). Additionally, health behaviours and/or BMI mediated 9.4% to 21.8% of the relationship between stress and methylation at eight of the nine CpGs. Several of the identified CpGs were in or near genes associated with cardiometabolic traits, psychosocial disorders, inflammation, and smoking. These findings support our hypothesis that psychosocial stress is associated with DNA methylation across the epigenome. Furthermore, specific health behaviours mediate only a modest percentage of this relationship, providing evidence that other mechanisms may link stress and DNA methylation.

description: The metabolic profiling of pistachio (Pistacia vera) aqueous extracts from two different cultivars, namely ‘Bianca’ and ‘Gloria’, was monitored over the months from May to September employing high field NMR spectroscopy. A large number of water-soluble metabolites were assigned by means of 1D and 2D NMR experiments. The change in the metabolic profiles monitored over time allowed the pistachio development to be investigated. Specific temporal trends of amino acids, sugars, organic acids and other metabolites were observed and analysed by multivariate Partial Least Squares (PLS) analysis. Statistical analysis showed that while in the period from May to September there were few differences between the two cultivars, the ripening rate was different.

description: Many fungal plant diseases are strongly controlled by weather, and global climate change is thus likely to have affected fungal pathogen distributions and impacts. Modelling the response of plant diseases to climate change is hampered by the difficulty of estimating pathogen-relevant microclimatic variables from standard meteorological data. The availability of increasingly sophisticated high-resolution climate reanalyses may help overcome this challenge. We illustrate the use of climate reanalyses by testing the hypothesis that climate change increased the likelihood of the 2008–2011 outbreak of Coffee Leaf Rust (CLR, Hemileia vastatrix) in Colombia. We develop a model of germination and infection risk, and drive this model using estimates of leaf wetness duration and canopy temperature from the Japanese 55-Year Reanalysis (JRA-55). We modelled germination and infection as Weibull functions with different temperature optima, based upon existing experimental data. We find no evidence for an overall trend in disease risk in coffee-growing regions of Colombia from 1990 to 2015, therefore, we reject the climate change hypothesis. There was no significant elevation in predicted CLR infection risk from 2008 to 2011, though there was a significantly elevated risk in 2008 compared with other years. JRA-55 data suggest a decrease in canopy surface water after 2008, which may have helped terminate the outbreak. The spatial resolution and accuracy of climate reanalyses are continually improving, increasing their utility for biological modelling. Confronting disease models with data requires not only accurate climate data, but also disease observations at high spatio-temporal resolution. Investment in monitoring, storage and accessibility of plant disease observation data are needed to match the quality of the climate data now available.

description: The issue of cultural competency among professionals in applied behavior analysis (ABA) is understood to be essential, but setting specific standards and guidelines has yet to be developed. Furthermore, the region-specific demographic data of board-certified behavior analysts (BCBAs) and ABA therapists is not publicly available. Therefore, it is difficult to determine if the needs of culturally and linguistically diverse children and families receiving ABA care are met. To understand cultural competency practices among ABA practitioners in Orange County, California, this research study aimed to describe the demographic characteristics of ABA professionals and assess their training and comfort levels for working with diverse children and their families. An anonymous survey was distributed to BCBAs and ABA therapists in Orange County. Results found that the participants’ demographics loosely aligned with the demographics of the population served and that most participants held a Master’s degree. The majority of participants reported only sometimes being taught culturally competent practices and wished they were better prepared to work with diverse children and their families. Most participants also felt comfortable working with diverse children and their families. The implications of these findings are discussed in addition to recommendations for incorporating culturally competent practices in the field of ABA.

description: Ziel dieser Arbeit ist die Untersuchung der optischen Eigenschaften des Mischsystems Lithiumniobat-Lithiumtantalat im Hinblick auf Brechungsindex, Doppelbrechung und Dispersion. Mittels eines Michelson-Interferometers wurden die ordinären und extraordinären Brechungsindizes in Abhängigkeit von Wellenlänge und Komposition bestimmt. Durch eine Sellmeier-Modellierung können die Brechungseigenschaften über den betrachteten Wellenlängenbereich präzise beschrieben und vorhergesagt werden. Die Ergebnisse erlauben eine detaillierte Einordnung in bestehende Literaturdaten und bieten neue Einblicke in die elektronischen Bandübergänge des Materials. Darüber hinaus ermöglichen sie die Bestimmung der Probenkomposition über Doppelbrechungsmessungen sowie die Korrektur von Reflexionseffekten an der Probenoberfläche. Diese Arbeit schließt bestehende Forschungslücken hinsichtlich der Kompositions- und Wellenlängenabhängigkeit der Lichtbrechung in LNT und schafft eine Grundlage für die gezielte Vorhersage weiterer optischer Eigenschaften.

description: Investigation of the ethanol extract of the corms of Liatris spicata (L.) willd led to the isolation of two sterols: stigmasterol and its 3-O-glucoside, a triterpene: obtusifoliyl acetate, two benzofurans: euparin and 6-hydroxy-3-methoxytremetone, three phenolic acids: protocatechuic, vanillic and ferulic acid and a sesquiterpene lactone igalan. The structures of the isolated compounds were established on the basis of physicochemical properties and spectral analysis (IR, EI/MS, 1H NMR and 13C NMR). The ethanol extract and its isolated compounds evidenced cytotoxic activities against human liver cancer cell line (HepG2), where igalan showed the highest potency (3.83 ± 0.043) μg/mL, its effect was comparable to that of the standard drug doxorubicin® (3.73 ± 0.036) μg/mL.
