description: Anti-inflammatory effects of low-dose irradiation often follow a non-linear dose–effect relationship. These characteristics were also described for the modulation of leukocyte adhesion to endothelial cells. Previous results further revealed a contribution of reactive oxygen species (ROS) and anti-oxidative factors to a reduced leukocyte adhesion. Here, we evaluated the expression of anti-oxidative enzymes and the transcription factor Nrf2 (Nuclear factor-erythroid-2-related factor 2), intracellular ROS content, and leukocyte adhesion in primary human microvascular endothelial cells (HMVEC) upon low-dose irradiation under physiological laminar shear stress or static conditions after irradiation with X-ray or Carbon (C)-ions (0–2 Gy). Laminar conditions contributed to increased mRNA expression of anti-oxidative factors and reduced ROS in HMVEC following a 0.1 Gy X-ray and 0.5 Gy C-ion exposure, corresponding to reduced leukocyte adhesion and expression of adhesion molecules. By contrast, mRNA expression of anti-oxidative markers and adhesion molecules, ROS, and leukocyte adhesion were not altered by irradiation under static conditions. In conclusion, irradiation of endothelial cells with low doses under physiological laminar conditions modulates the mRNA expression of key factors of the anti-oxidative system, the intracellular ROS contents of which contribute at least in part to leucocyte adhesion, dependent on the radiation source.

description: This is a quasi-experimental pre-post assessment study utilizing an anonymous self-administered questionnaire to assess Egyptian medical students’ awareness about responsible conduct of research (RCR) and research ethics. Students’ were assessed before and after an RCR awareness campaign. Our results showed that most of the pre-campaign respondents were not familiar with the basic principles and terms of RCR. An increase in the awareness about RCR across all discussed topics was noted following the campaign. We concluded that an educational awareness campaign is effective in increasing medical students’ awareness about RCR and should be incorporated into current medical school curricula in Egypt.

description: DNA methylation can be affected by systemic exposures, such as cigarette smoking and genetic sequence variation; however, the relative impact of each on the epigenome is unknown. We aimed to assess if cigarette smoking and genetic variation are associated with overlapping or distinct sets of DNA methylation marks and pathways. We selected 85 Caucasian current and former smokers with genome-wide single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) genotyping available from the COPDGene study. Genome-wide methylation was obtained on DNA from whole blood using the Illumina HumanMethylation27 platform. To determine the impact of local sequence variation on DNA methylation (mQTL), we examined the association between methylation and SNPs within 50 kb of each CpG site. To examine the impact of cigarette smoking on DNA methylation, we examined the differences in methylation by current cigarette smoking status. We detected 770 CpG sites annotated to 708 genes associated at an FDR < 0.05 in the cis-mQTL analysis and 1,287 CpG sites annotated to 1,242 genes, which were nominally associated in the smoking-CpG association analysis (Punadjusted < 0.05). Forty-three CpG sites annotated to 40 genes were associated with both SNP variation and current smoking; this overlap was not greater than that expected by chance. Our results suggest that cigarette smoking and genetic variants impact distinct sets of DNA methylation marks, the further elucidation of which may partially explain the variable susceptibility to the health effects of cigarette smoking. Ascertaining how genetic variation and systemic exposures differentially impact the human epigenome has relevance for both biomarker identification and therapeutic target development for smoking-related diseases.

Abstract:

Current U.S. trade policy is rooted in zero-sum metrics and symmetrical retaliation models that fail to capture the systemic nature of global economic flows. This paper proposes a new framework based on CODES (Chirality of Dynamic Emergent Systems) to design trade policy through structured resonance rather than probabilistic deficit logic. By modeling trade as a dynamic phase relationship between systems, we present a path toward optimized leverage, structural resilience, and long-term coherence across economic networks.

CODES reframes trade not as a balance sheet but as a signal system—where coherence, not parity, defines strength. We introduce the Coherence Index (CI) as a new metric for evaluating the structural intelligence of trade relationships, compare traditional tactics like reciprocal tariffs with phase-aware alternatives, and propose a policy design language rooted in emergent alignment. The age of retaliation economics is ending. A new phase begins—with structure as signal, and resonance as strategy.

description: Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a chronic, predominantly immune-mediated disease of the central nervous system and remains one of the most common causes of neurological disability in young adults world-wide. The presentation of MS is diverse as it can affect any part of the central nervous system; however, there are key features that can be useful for the diagnosis. The main subtypes of MS include clinically isolated syndrome, relapsing remitting MS, secondary progressive MS and primary progressive MS . The McDonald criteria provide conventional guidelines for the diagnosis of relapsing-remitting multiple sclerosis and primary-progressive MS. These require demonstration of lesions disseminated in space and time, with consideration given to both clinical findings of the disease and imaging data to support the diagnosis. The requirement of the criteria is that there should exist no better explanation for the patient's presentation. The clinical history, examination, and MRI should be most consistent with MS, including the presence of symptoms which are typical for the disease as well as the absence of the findings that would suggest an alternative cause, for a diagnosis of MS to be proposed. Through proteomics we look to find links between proteins that could be related to MS and provide a better understanding of the disease and how to evaluate it.

description: Ralfuranones, aryl-furanone secondary metabolites, are involved in the virulence of Ralstonia solanacearum in solanaceous plants. Ralfuranone I (6) has been suggested as a biosynthetic precursor for other ralfuranones; however, this conversion has not been confirmed. We herein investigate the biosynthesis of ralfuranones using feeding experiments with ralfuranone I (6) and its putative metabolite, ralfuranone B (2). The results obtained demonstrated that the biosynthesis of ralfuranones proceeded in enzymatic and non-enzymatic manners.

La méthodologie utilisée a consisté à s’adresser à un échantillon de 166 PME de la grande distribution. Un questionnaire a été utilisé pour la collecte des données. La régression multiple a été utilisée pour déterminer les variables explicatives de la performance commerciale. Les résultats montrent que la qualité de l’accueil offert est appréciable 69% des enquêtés ; le temps de service et de livraison est court 60%. Il ressort que 84,5% des enquêtés apprécient de bonne la qualité des produits est bonne et 89, 2% sont satisfaits des produits achetés. Les résultats montrent également que 34,64% ont convaincus des amis proches à faire des achats dans les entreprises de l’Agrobusiness contre 65,06% qui ne l’ont pas encore fait. De même, il ressort des résultats une corrélation significative entre la Satisfaction et le Bouche à oreille positif. Les résultats confirment que la Satisfaction ; la fidélisation de la clientèle ; et la rentabilité des produits à forte valeur ajoutée expliquent la performance commerciale des entreprises.

description: Allelopathic materials inside a tree can produce positive or negative change in the survival, growth, reproduction and behaviour of other organisms if they escape into the environment. To assess these effects, this work was carried out to evaluate the allelopathic impact of Eucalyptus erythrocorys L. on seed germination and seedling growth of two weeds: Sinapis arvensis L. and Phalaris canariensis L.; on one cultivated crop: Triticum durum L. Aqueous; and on ethanolic leaf extracts of E. erythrocorys L. The study was effected using four concentrations (10, 20, 25 and 30 μL/mL) while distilled water was used as a control. The results showed that the E. erythrocorys L. crude extracts had an inhibitory effect on seed germination and seedling growth of both studied weeds and wheat. The inhibition rate was increased by the increase in extract concentration. Only ethanolic extracts of E. erythrocorys L. induced a significant inhibition of seed germination of durum wheat. The effect of E. erythrocorys L. crude extracts was more severe on weeds than on durum wheat. These results indicate that the seedling growth, especially radicle elongation, was the more sensitive indicator to evaluate the effects of extracts than was the seed germination.

description: WP 3.1 provides an overview of academic science communication programs in four RETHINK partnering countries (UK, the Netherlands, Portugal, Italy) and Russia to analyze how available programs cope with the challenges of the “new” complex and digitalized communication environments. Based on a small sample study of 12 programs we show that science communication education is adapting promisingly to the new science communication landscape and related changes, and aims at teaching the students a profound understanding of the complexities of the new science communication dynamics. Programs largely implement content about digitalization and recent developments in their programs, although they rate their importance differently. However, related risks of science communication online are only taught to some extent, by encouraging students´ critical thinking about sources of information and interaction processes between communicators. We identified that most programs assess science communicator roles in line with co-creation and interaction with the public, but some programs also imply more traditional communicator roles of information disseminators. We can conclude that programs, overall, aim at providing their graduates with specific knowledge, competences and attitudes that will help them to serve as professional communicators in an increasingly complex science communication environment. However, further research is needed to assess how programs can ideally implement modules to convey the challenges of digitalization successfully to students.

description: The Forschungszentrum Juelich has been hosting the German part of the LOFAR archive since 2013. It is Germany's most extensive radio astronomy archive, currently storing nearly 22 petabytes (PB) of data. Future radio telescopes are expected to require a dramatic increase in long-term data storage. Here, we take stock of the current data management of the Juelich LOFAR Data Archive, describe the ingestion, the storage system, the export to the long-term archive, and the request chain. We analysed the data availability over the last 10 years and searched for the underlying data access pattern and the energy consumption of the process. We determine hardware-related limiting factors, such as network bandwidth and cache pool availability and performance, and software aspects, e.g. workflow adjustment and parameter tuning, as the main data storage bottlenecks. By contrast, the challenge in providing the data from the archive for the users lies in retrieving the data from the tape archive and staging them. Building on this analysis, we suggest how to avoid/mitigate these problems in the future and define the requirements for future even more extensive long-term data archives.

description: ABSTRACTIncreasing greenhouse gas emissions from anthropogenic activities continue to be a mounting problem worldwide. In the semi-natural Miscanthus sinensis Andersson; grasslands of Aso, Kumamoto, Japan, which have been managed for thousands of years, we measured soil methane (CH4) and nitrous oxide (N2O) emissions before and after annual controlled burns. We estimated annual soil carbon (C) accumulation, and CH4 and N2O emissions induced by biomass burning in 2009 and 2010, to determine the impacts of this ecosystem and its management on global warming. Environmental factors affecting soil CH4 and N2O fluxes were unknown, with no effect of annual burning observed on short-term soil CH4 and N2O emissions. However, deposition of charcoal during burning may have enhanced CH4 oxidation and N2O consumption at the study site, given that emissions (CH4: −4.33 kg C ha−1 yr−1, N2O: 0.17 kg N ha−1 yr−1) were relatively lower than those measured in other land-use types. Despite significant emission of CH4 and N2O during yearly burning events in early spring, the M. sinensis semi-natural grassland had a large annual soil C accumulation, which resulted in a global warming potential of −4.86 Mg CO2eq ha−1 yr−1. Consequently, our results indicate that long-term maintenance of semi-natural M. sinensis grasslands by annual burning can contribute to the mitigation of global warming.

description: Quantum computers have the potential to solve important problems which are fundamentally intractable on a classical computer. The underlying physics of quantum computing platforms supports using multi-valued logic, which promises a boost in performance over the prevailing two-level logic. One key element to exploiting this potential is the capability to efficiently prepare quantum states for multi-valued, or qudit, systems. Due to the time sensitivity of quantum computers, the circuits to prepare the required states have to be as short as possible. In this paper, we investigate quantum state preparation with a focus on mixed-dimensional systems, where the individual qudits may have different dimensionalities. The proposed approach automatically realizes quantum circuits constructing a corresponding mixed-dimensional quantum state. To this end, decision diagrams are used as a compact representation of the quantum state to be realized. We further incorporate the ability to approximate the quantum state to enable a finely controlled trade-off between accuracy, memory complexity, and number of operations in the circuit. Empirical evaluations demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed approach in facilitating fast and scalable quantum state preparation, with performance directly linked to the size of the decision diagram. The implementation is freely available as part of Munich Quantum Toolkit~(MQT), under the framework MQT Qudits at github.com/cda-tum/mqt-qudits.

description: n design, tactile interaction between the human and elements in their environment, such as furniture, is often underappreciated. It has been suggested that materials and their finishing can influence user perceptions of thermal comfort and consequently affect well-being. The purpose of this research was to evaluate the thermal comfort of different materials used for desktops and their suitability for everyday tasks. The study involved 16 participants who randomly tested ten materials (untreated spruce, oil spruce, lacquered spruce, untreated oak, oiled oak, lacquered oak, veneer, oak imitation, glass, Kerrock®). Desktop and forearm temperature were measured before and after 15 minutes of use. Additionally, the participants performed a writing task and answered four questions regarding the suitability of the material. Materials with lower thermal conductivity (wooden fibres and oak veneered particleboard) obtained higher temperatures after 15 minutes of use and were rated as more haptically suitable and more likable for everyday use. The participants most appreciated the natural appearance of oiled and untreated oak and the oak veneered particleboard. Based on the results obtained, the choice of natural, wooden material could be the most suitable for desktop production, with the appropriate choice of surface treatment of the material, in our case lacquer, being crucial.

description: Absence of resistance against diseases and insect pests in mungbean [Vigna radiata (L.) Wilczek] varieties, is one of the main reasons for their low yield. During the Kharif season, powdery mildew epidemic damages the crop in most of the mungbean growing areas. For the purpose of identifying resistance/tolerance in mungbean germplasm, a disease screening nursery, comprising of 374 test entries, was developed. Screening was done under natural environmental conditions in 2010 at University of Agricultural Sciences, GKVK, Bangalore, India against powdery mildew disease. Out of 374 test entries 6 were highly resistant, 68 showed resistance, 47 moderately resistant, 50 moderately susceptible, 99 susceptible and 104 were highly susceptible. The resistant ones can be exploited in breeding programme to develop high yielding varieties of mungbean.

description: Local Authorities are in the lowest level administration structure in Sri Lanka. As enormous amount of literature suggest, service quality and beneficiaries satisfaction are very important concepts that local authorities must understand in order to remain efficient and effective. Accordingly, SERVQUAL is one of best models used in measuring level of service quality of local authorities. This paper aims to measure the satisfaction level of beneficiaries’ in selected Urban Local Authorities in Colombo district using SERVQUAL model and describe how beneficiaries perceive service quality and whether they are satisfied with services offered by local authorities. Colombo Municipal Council (CMC), Dehivala Mount Lavinia MC, Mahagaragama UC and Boralesgamuwa UC limits were selected as sampling framework. Unit of analysis is beneficiaries and 50 beneficiaries were interviewed in each authority using seven point Likert scaled, self-administered questionnaire. Data was analyzed as per the SERVQUAL model with help of SPSS 20.0 package. Considering all aspects by which public are satisfied related to the services provided by the local authorities in selected sample, Maharagama UC is providing expected services as it is; with a small gap -0.02. Also CMC’s gap -0.11 indicates a better sign of their services without having a large deviation from the expected level. However, Boralesgamuwa UC is the most inefficient services providing local authority which scores a 3.00 gap. As per the gap shows, Dehiwal Mt. Levenia is also slightly weak service providing local authority. However, further research on this area is required to verify the findings and find out the reasons/causes to the dissatisfaction (gap) of the people who look for services from Local Authorities in Sri Lanka.

description: You’ve shared your digital collection data, but now what? How can you introduce people to the possibilities for research or creativity? How can you help them develop the digital skills to make use of your data?  This webinar, organised by LIBER’s Digital Humanities Working Group, will demonstrate how you can use Jupyter notebooks to develop your own digital collection workbench – sharing tools, tricks, and tutorials that scaffold exploration and reuse. Drawing on the experience of developing the GLAM Workbench, this webinar will show you how Jupyter notebooks can be used to create a variety of resources, from web-based tools to detailed tutorials. Using online services such as Binder, these notebooks can be run live online, allowing users to play with code in a safe and structured environment. In this way, the GLAM Workbench aims to overcome gaps in skills, confidence, and experience that can prevent researchers from taking advantage of the growing volume of GLAM data now becoming available. This webinar will help you: Understand how Jupyter notebooks can be used to support the use of digital collection data. Learn how to create and share Jupyter notebooks, making use of free services such as GitHub, NBViewer and Binder.

description: Objective: To determine in an interrupted word paradigm (Maryland CNCs; 10 ips, 50% duty cycle) if different locations of the interruption pattern produce different recognition performances. Design: Repeated measures using two interruption patterns that were complementary halves referenced to word onset; one started with word onset (0-ms), the other started 50 ms later. The hypothesis was that recognition performance would be better on the 0-ms condition than on the 50-ms condition, but there would be some words with the reverse relation. Study sample: Twenty-four young adults with normal hearing for pure tones and 32 older adults (mean = 67 years) with sensorineural hearing loss participated. Results: With the young listeners mean recognition performance on the 0-ms condition (63.1%) was significantly better than the mean performance on the 50-ms condition (47.8%). About twice as many words had better performance on the 0-ms condition. With the older listeners, who were given only stimuli on which performances were > 58% by the young normals, performances on the two conditions were the same. Conclusions: The hypothesis was supported with the young listeners. The equal performance by the older listeners on the two conditions was attributed to the manner in which the words were selected.

description: Objective: The study explored the perceptions of parents of children with cochlear implants regarding the support they have received. Design:Semi-structured interviews were conducted and the resultant data was subjected to thematic analysis. Study sample: Participants were 12 mothers and four fathers from South Australia with a child with cochlear implants. Results: Three major themes emerged: (1) a journey into a new world for parents, (2) services meet many but not all needs, and (3) parent connections and relationships. Most parents were satisfied with surgical, audiology, and early intervention services as well as specialist hearing-impairment schools, and perceived this support as helpful and adequate. However, some parents were critical of non-specialized teaching staff, and technical support for hearing devices. Parent recommendations for improved service provision included increased support, improved information, and additional professional services. Conclusions: Parent contributions suggest a need for service providers to develop support that is not only child-need oriented, but parent-need oriented, to better address service gaps. With a deeper understanding of parents’ experiences and needs, service providers will have a greater capacity to develop a broader model of service that enhances parental engagement and coping.
