description: The reaction of S-benzyl dithiocarbazate (SBDTC) with 2,4,5-trimethoxybenzaldehyde afforded a bidentate NS Schiff base 1 (benzyl-3-N-(2,4,5-trimethoxyphenylmethylenehydrazine carbodithioate), which on further reaction with M(II) (where M(II) = nickel(II), zinc(II), palladium(II) and copper(II)) in ethanol under reflux yielded bis-chelated inner complexes [ML2] 2–5 with deprotonated L. The ligand and its complexes were characterized by physicochemical techniques, viz., molar conductance, magnetic susceptibility measurement, IR, NMR, UV–Vis and mass spectroscopic techniques. The crystal structures of 1 and 5 were also determined by single-crystal X-ray crystallography. The crystal structure analysis showed that the ligand exists in its thione tautomeric form. In the complexes, each of the two deprotonated ligands chelated the metal ions through the β-nitrogen and the thione sulfur forming five-membered rings. The copper(II) complex (5) exhibited a square-planar geometry, where the two N2S2 chromophores are arranged trans. All the compounds showed strong antibacterial activity against S.-β-hemolyticus, Klebsiella pneumoni, and Escherichia coli. The compounds also showed strong antifungal activity against Aspergillus fumigatus, Aspergillus niger, Aspergillus flavus, and Candida albicans with the exception of the palladium(II) complex (4) which showed no activity, while all the compounds showed no activity against Fusarium vasinfectum.

description: This paper investigates the underutilization of funds provided by the Programa Dinheiro Direto na Escola (PDDE), a Brazilian government initiative designed to directly finance public K-12 schools for maintenance, pedagogical projects, and minor renovations. Contrary to traditional economic assumptions that schools will fully spend available resources, we find a significant portion of PDDE funds remains unused. This is particularly surprising given the acute need for more investment in Brazil’s basic education, which suffers from low investment levels compared to OECD countries. Through an analysis of data from S ̃ao Paulo and Rio de Janeiro states, we reveal that approximately 50% of the total budget remains unused, with the utilization in a downward trend over the past decade despite many attempts to incentivize the use. This paper explores the mechanisms behind budget utilization in schools, starting with an OLS analysis of how school profiles and funding access influence spending patterns, then examining the response to the 2018 introduction of the PDDE card as a quasi-natural experiment to drive usage. We then further investigate the impact of PDDE budget spending on educational outcomes by incorporating ENEM scores into the analysis, providing initial insights into the efficacy of funding strategies in improving educational quality.

description: As artificial intelligence tools (AITs) lead the technological revolution, the education sector and other institutions are doing their best to adapt and accommodate this innovation. AITs can be utilized in many ways and have been proven to provide positive changes and benefits to a student’s learning. However, the use of AI may also prove to be detrimental to the scholastic development of a student, which may raise concerns regarding academic integrity and ethical use. Thus, this study aimed to deeply understand how the dependency on AITs can influence students' knowledge acquisition. To do this, the study employed a semi-structured interview to gather the perceptions and opinions of 15 Grade 11 and 15 Grade 12 STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics) strand students, for a total of 30 participants. After the data gathering procedure, data analysis and interpretation were done using Braun and Clarke's thematic analysis.

description: The tumor progression in melanocytic lesions is assumed to follow a multistep process where the genetic alterations and the morphological steps are closely related. In general terms, this process is usually identified pathologically as dysplasia, intraepithelial malignancy, and early neoplasm. However, melanocytic lesions with dysplasia are, on one hand, controversial in its diagnostic criteria and, on the other hand, difficult to grade and subcategorize due to its heterogeneity. The key condition is the atypical (dysplastic) melanocytic nevus (AMN), which requires both architectural and cytological features to be defined and always needs grading to provide a more accurate risk assessment for the development of malignant melanoma. At this point, it is essential to identify reliably and predict high-grade dysplasia/melanoma-in-situ (HGD-MIS) at clinical, dermatoscopic, biological, and pathological levels within these highly heterogeneous lesions.
AMN-HGD and MIS share the same clinical and dermatoscopic features, which makes extremely hard to differentiate between them at this level. They are clearly different from atypical nevi with low-grade dysplasia, which usually present with soft clinical and dermatoscopic findings. Key dermatoscopic features for the low-grade vs. high-grade distinction are atypical pigment network, eccentric hyperpigmented blotches, and peripheral globules. Histologically, HGD-MIS is mainly defined by junctional asymmetry with both lentiginous and nested patterns, suprabasal melanocytes and at least three nuclear abnormalities (mainly nuclear enlargement, anisokaryosis and hyperchromatism as more predictive features). Biologically, these lesions reveal both cell kinetics and topographic genetic heterogeneity, which are mostly driven by abnormal TP53, dissociated from cyclin-dependent kinase inhibitors (p21WAF1-CDKN1A and p27KIP1-CDKN1B), especially for MIS. The differential diagnosis requires distinguishing them from atypical but not dysplastic melanocytic lesions (particularly in specific locations), and invasive malignant melanomas (mostly thin and non-tumorigenic status). The implications are also different for lentiginous and epithelioid dysplastic lesions, whose criteria are weighted in a slightly different way. Finally, the progression pathway in dysplastic melanocytic lesions is unlikely linear at morphological and genetic levels, and they show a distinct correlation with the molecular subtypes of malignant melanomas.

description: Historical field recordings offer insight both into past performance routines and into the processes and contexts of musical practices in their time. In the wake of renewed interest in musical traditions of the alpine region, I reassessed the magnetic tape recordings created by the Jena University doctoral student Wolfgang Sichardt (1911–2002) from multiple perspectives. The premises and context of the field research in 1936 are reconstructed, in part based on original correspondence; the reception and impact of the research in Germany and Switzerland are assessed; and the exact origin of the recordings is determined wherever possible. Descriptive transcriptions of the entire corpus of yodel and alphorn music visualize the content. The 1936 field recordings, made by Sichardt during a six-week field trip to different areas of Switzerland, document yodels, folk songs, and alphorn melodies on 12 magnetic tape reels, recorded with the latest technology at the time, the AEG Magnetophon K-2. Although the results were published afterward (Sichardt, 1939), the magnetic tape recordings remained private until they were donated to the Vienna Phonogram Archive in 2008, and only in the past decade have they been discovered by researchers.

description: Graphics Processing Units (GPUs) have become the focus of much interest with the scientific community lately due to their highly parallel computing capabilities, and cost effectiveness. They have evolved from simple graphic rendering devices to extremely complex parallel processors, used in a plethora of scientific areas. This paper outlines experimental results of a comparison between GPUs and general purpose CPUs for exact pattern matching. Specifically, a comparison is conducted for the Knuth-Morris-Pratt algorithm using different string sizes, alphabet sizes and introduces different techniques such as loop unrolling, and shared memory using the Compute Unified Device Architecture framework. Empirical results demonstrate a 29 fold increase in processing speed where GPUs are used instead of CPUs.

Büchel Performance and the Idea of a 'Natural' Harmony in Alpine Music
Creators: name: Cédric Wey, Yannick
Publisher: name: Humanities Commons
Year: 2022

description: The büchel is a shorter, trumpet-shaped variant of the alphorn and exists primarily in the Alpine region of Central Switzerland and in the neighboring areas. The origin of the name is not clear. A possible etymological root is the Latin bucina; a long, folded metal trumpet that was used in the Roman military. Several traditional trumpets and horns with similar names exist in different regions. Such instruments often served ceremonial purposes rather than musical entertainment. In the Alpine region, shepherd’s horns were hypothetically used for the communication across valleys and as a tool for calling cattle. In comparison to the alphorn, the büchel always remained relatively unpopular and almost disappeared in recent decades. The instrument has never achieved a status within the cultural heritage as the alphorn did with its role for tourism. A wooden trumpet without holes or valves, various notes on the büchel can only be produced by overblowing. The resulting scale, the harmonic series, is also referred to as the “natural scale”. Among other languages, German uses this term (“Naturtonreihe”).

description: Some probiotics such as lactic acid bacteria (LAB) can provide significant health benefits which are critically important for the conservation of animal species, such as giant pandas. However, little is known about the diversity and culturability of LAB in the giant panda gut microbiota. To understand the roles of LAB on giant panda conservation, it is critical to culture bacterial strains of interest. In this study, we established a pipeline to culture bacterial strains of interest with culture-enrichment method that included a step to enrich strains of interest with culturomics under special media and conditions in liquid media, and then the strains were isolated in solid media to study their functions. Using 210 samples of culture-enrichment method and 138 culture-independent samples, we obtained 1120 Amplicon Sequencing Variants (ASVs) belonging to Lactobacillales. Out of the 1120 ASVs, 812 ASVs from culture-enrichment were two-fold more diverse than 336 ASVs from culture-independent and many ASVs of interest were not detected in the culture-independent approach, but only in culture-enrichment. Moreover, we isolated many important bacterial strains following the pipeline and established a giant panda gut probiotics source strain-collection that included some strains with low-abundance in culture-independent samples and covered most of giant panda LAB reported by other researchers. The strain-collection consisted of 60 strains representing 35 species of 12 genera at genome-level. Thus, our pipeline is powerful and provides guidance in culturing gut microbiota of interest in hosts, such as the giant panda.

description: The Paleolithic sites from the region of Serinyà, (Catalonia, Spain), provide a complete and important chronostratigraphic record for the Middle and Upper Paleolithic sequence of Northeast Iberian Peninsula. From this territory, the site of l’Arbreda Cave shows the most important evidence for the initial phase of the Upper Paleolithic, illustrated by Aurignacian and Gravettian occupations. Recently the origins and expansion of the Gravettian in Iberia has been one of the most debate topics, particularly regarding the meaning of the variability of the Gravettian lithic industries in this region. In this work we focus on the study of the Gravettian lithic assemblage from level E of Arbreda Cave dated from c.26 kaBP, combining techno-typological, use-wear analysis and raw material characterization and sourcing. Technological analysis shows that Gravettian lithic assemblage from Arbreda is characterized by prismatic reduction strategies focuses on laminar debitage, reflected in the high frequency of backed technology among retouched tools, including well-preserved La Gravette and Microgravette points. Preliminary use-wear analysis focused on macro analysis of the projectile points and preservation conditions of micro wear traces. Local flint, in NE Iberia, is characterized by small nodules with low quality, and during the Gravettian laminar debitage was preformed on imported raw materials from sources that are located north of the Pyrenees Basin Narbonne-Sigean (approx. 100 km away to the north of Arbreda) and Costières du Gard (about 240 km) in the Rhone river mouth. Combining all lithic analyses, our data shows that, during the Gravettian, the site occupation was likely characterized by the exploitation of local resources, during which, hunting might have been one of the most important human activities at the site. Data presented here contributes to our investigation on the lithic variability, in order to understand how humans adapt during the origins of the Gravettian in Iberia.
Facsimile narratives: Researching the past in the age of digital reproduction
Creators: name: Fafinski, Mateusz
Publisher: name: Humanities Commons
Year: 2021

description: Taking a cue from the reflections and contributions made by manuscript, archival and historical studies, this paper proposes a new approach to the methodology of digital facsimiles. It asks how we research the past in the age of digital facsimiles and what are our biggest challenges and opportunities. By broadening the definition of what digital facsimiles are and re-evaluating their relationship with databases seeing databases as primarily aggregations of digital facsimiles the paper argues that the key methodological challenge lies in acknowledging the narrative within them. This can only be achieved if we incorporate the existing humanities methodologies in any data-related pursuits. The article demonstrates how notions of objective thresholds in data aggregations are in reality failures to notice and acknowledge the inherent narratives within the digital facsimiles that constitute them. At the same time, while deeply connected, digital facsimiles have to be recognised as ontologically separate from their exemplars. This influences greatly the way we research the past and a failure to recognize both the inherent narrativity and the cognitive gap will always lead to questionable results.

description: This dissertation delves into two research projects that aim to characterize post-translational modifications in two distinct proteins, each originating from a different species – one from the eukaryotic sea slug Aplysia californica and the other from the bacterial pathogen Bordetella bronchiseptica.Aplysia have an unusually large neuron and therefore serve as an excellent model for studying cell signaling regulating neuronal chemotaxis. Cortactin is an actin binding protein that is regulated by post-translational modifications, including acetylation and phosphorylation. Studies have shown that Src2 tyrosine kinase phosphorylates cortactin to regulate lamellipodia protrusion and filopodia formation in Aplysia bag cell neurons. However, these in vivo phenotypes have not been tested mechanistically in vitro. To this end, the goal of my thesis work was to validate in vivo observations. The following work describes the methodology we developed to purify homogenous non-phosphorylated proteins. Our collaborative results show that Src2 phosphorylates cortactin at Y499, although Y505 is the preferred site in vitro. Filamentation induced by cAMP (Fic) proteins constitute a recently characterized family of enzymes that are being recognized to regulate diverse cellular processes in bacteria and metazoans. While Fic proteins predominantly utilize adenosine triphosphate (ATP) to post-translationally modify target proteins via a covalent addition of AMP, two Fic proteins have been reported that utilize uridine triphosphate (UTP) and cytidine diphosphate-choline (CDP-choline) to alter the activity of their target. In this dissertation, we report the discovery of the first guanosine triphosphate (GTP) specific Fic protein – BB0907 (BbFic) from Bordetella bronchiseptica. BbFic displays weak to no binding to ATP; instead has a 10-fold increased preferential usage for GTP. We identify key residues involved in GTP recognition. Additionally, sequence similarity network (SSN) analyses reveal that BbFic represents a distinct clade of Fic proteins, highlighting BbFic as a representative new class of guanylyltransferase. Our discovery adds to the functional diversity of the growing Fic protein family and frames the groundwork for understanding Fic-mediated GMPylation as a novel signaling paradigm. Taken together, my thesis work provides novel insights into biological consequences of Fic-mediated GMPylation in bacteria and Src-mediated phosphorylation in filopodia formation.

description: Purpose: Aphasia – loss of comprehension or expression of language – is a devastating functional sequela of stroke. There are as yet no effective methods for rehabilitation of aphasia. An assistive device that allows aphasia patients to communicate and interact at speeds approaching real time is urgently needed. Methods: Behavioral and linguistic studies of aphasia patients show that they retain normal thinking processes and most aspects of language. They lack only phonology: the ability to translate (input) and/or output sounds (or written words) such as “ta-ble” into the image of a four-legged object with a top at which one works or eats. Results: We have made a phonology-free communication mobile app that may be useful for patients with aphasia and other communication disorders. Particular innovations of our app include calling Google Images as a “subroutine” to allow a near-infinite number of choices (e.g. food or clothing items) for patients without having to make countless images, and by the use of animation for words, phrases or concepts that cannot be represented by a single image. We have tested our app successfully in one patient. Conclusions: The app may be of great benefit to patients with aphasia and other communication disorders.Implications for RehabilitationWe have made a phonology-free mobile communication app.This app may facilitate communication for patients with aphasia and other communication disorders.

description: In diesem Beitrag stellen wir die Helene-Lange-Schule als Versuchsschule des Landes Hessen und ihr Konzept der wissenschaftlichen Begleitung vor. Dabei gehen wir auf den Prozess der Institutionalisierung und die organisatorischen Bedingungen der Zusammenarbeit ein und skizzieren die Erträge der Zusammenarbeit zu ausgewählten Themen (Lernen mit digitalen Medien, Lernen außerhalb der Schule und Individualisierung im Unterricht). Die Verzahnung von Versuchsschulauftrag, Schul- und Unterrichtsentwicklungsprozessen sowie Rückmeldungen aus der wissenschaftlichen Begleitung stehen im Zentrum des Beitrags. Die wissenschaftliche Begleitung konzipieren wir als arbeitsteiligen Prozess, in dem die Partner*innen auf Augenhöhe zusammenarbeiten. Umgesetzt als dokumentarische Evaluationsforschung ergeben sich aus der wissenschaftlichen Begleitung fruchtbare Anschlüsse an die erziehungswissenschaftliche Grundlagenforschung und die Schul- und Unterrichtsentwicklung. This paper presents the Helene Lange School as an experimental school of the state of Hesse and its concept of scientific support. We look at the process of institutionalization and the organizational conditions of cooperation and outline the results of cooperation on selected topics (learning with digital media, learning outside of school, and individualization in the classroom). The interlocking of the experimental school mission, school and classroom development processes as well as feedback from the scientific support are the focus of the paper. We conceive the scientific support as a process based on the division of labor, in which the partners work together as equals. When implemented as documentary evaluation research, the scientific monitoring results in fruitful connections to basic educational research and school and classroom development.

description: It is theoretically explained why the bottom portion of freely suspended tubing buckles in a progressing cavity pumping well. In contrast to the sucker rod pumping system, there are two energy sources for tubing buckling in progressing cavity pumping system: potential energy of fluid in the tubing and the elastic strain energy of twist stored in the rod and tubing strings. This means that the tubing buckles, and much more severely, than in a sucker rod pumping system for the same pumping condition. Possibly the rod string is bent by the buckled tubing.  The pump pressure load is proportional to the cross-sectional area of the stator multiplied by the differential pressure across the pump. Generalized force make it easy to calculate the buckling effect of the internal pressure and the elastic strain energy of twist. Tubing buckles as if subjected to an upward generalized force. Field evidence of the tubing buckling in progressing cavity pumping wells is given. Tubing anchor must resist the torque and the upward axial load. Tubing buckling and its detrimental effects may be entirely prevented by anyone of the following means: (a) the tubing anchor; (b) tubing anchor and the sucker rod guides spaced between the pump and neutral point. The use of rod guides decreases the necessary tension in the tubing. Detrimental effect of tubing buckling may be minimized by the sucker rod guides spaced between the pump and neutral point.

description: Das Oberstufen-Kolleg ist neben der zeitgleich gegründeten Laborschule die älteste und bekannteste Versuchsschule des Landes Nordrhein-Westfalen (NRW). Seine Konzeption als Werkstatt für eine neue Oberstufe in der Umbruchphase des Bildungssystems der späten sechziger Jahre wirkt bis heute nach. Trotz diverser Modifikationen auf Grund bildungspolitischer Entwicklungen und der schrittweisen Angleichung an das Regelsystem der gymnasialen Oberstufe hat es seinen Auftrag, neue Konzepte zu entwickeln und Probleme der gymnasialen Oberstufen und des Übergangs zwischen Schule und Hochschule zu erforschen, beibehalten. Der Beitrag skizziert die differenten institutionellen Bedingungen, besondere pädagogische Konzepte und das als besonders positiv wahrgenommene Zusammenleben in der Gemeinschaft des Oberstufen-Kollegs als Aspekte des innovationsfokussierten institutionellen Auftrags und zugleich Ausdruck einer wissenschaftsfundierten Praxis und praxisorientierten Wissenschaft auf dem Hintergrund seines historischen Ursprungs. The Oberstufen-Kolleg is the oldest and best-known experimental school in the state of North Rhine-Westphalia, alongside the Laboratory School founded at the same time. Its conception as a workshop for a new upper secondary school in the upheaval phase of the educational system of the late sixties still has an impact today. Despite various modifications due to educational policy developments and the gradual alignment to the regulatory system of the upper secondary school, it has retained its mission to develop new concepts and to research problems of the upper secondary school levels and the transition between school and university. The article outlines the different institutional conditions, special pedagogical concepts, and the living together in the community of the Oberstufen-Kolleg, which is perceived as particularly positive, as aspects of the innovation-focused institutional mission and at the same time an expression of a scientifically sound practice and practice-oriented science on the background of its historical origin.

description: An der Universität Potsdam, der einzigen lehrkräftebildenden Hochschule des Landes Brandenburg, wird im Kontext eines vom Bundesministerium für Bildung und Forschung finanzierten Transferprojekts die Konzeptionierung und Gründung einer Universitätsschule vorangetrieben. Der Beitrag umreißt zunächst den projektspezifischen Zugriff sowie landesspezifische Merkmale der Lehrkräftebildung und Schullandschaft, da die Universitätsschule als staatliche Schule konzeptioniert wird, die Modell- und Transfercharakter für ganz Brandenburg haben soll. Das Konzept der Universitätsschule, das gemeinsam von Vertreter*innen der Universität und der Schulpraxis entwickelt wird, schafft ein pädagogisch-didaktisches Gerüst für eine Schule, an der drei Schwerpunkte verwirklicht werden sollen: Ermöglichung evidenzbasierter Forschungssettings und enger Kooperationen zwischen Wissenschaft und Schulpraxis; Impulse für eine größere Praxisnähe des Lehramtsstudiums; Umsetzung curricularer Innovationen, die möglicherweise von anderen Schulen adaptierbar sind. At the University of Potsdam, the only teacher training university in the state of Brandenburg, the conceptual design and founding of a university school is being pursued in the context of a transfer project financed by the Federal Ministry of Education and Research. This article first outlines the project-specific approach as well as the specific characteristics of teacher training and public school forms in Brandenburg, since the university school is being conceived as a public school that is to serve as a model for the whole of Brandenburg. The concept of the university school, which is being developed jointly by representatives of the university and schools in the region, creates a pedagogical-didactic framework for a school that wants to realize three main goals: enabling evidence-based research settings and close cooperation between science and educational practice; impulses for a greater practical relevance of teacher training; implementation of curricular innovations that can potentially be adapted by other schools.
