title: Population Genomics of Strongyloides stercoralis from People and Dogs in Asia
Creators: name: Liu, Yuchen
Publisher: name: University of Liverpool Repository
Year: 2024

description: Strongyloides stercoralis is a parasitic nematode that infects people and is widespread in tropical and subtropical regions. People can get infected with S. stercoralis by contact with contaminated faeces, in which the infective stage develops. It has been assumed that S. stercoralis transmits only among people. However, accumulating evidence suggests that Strongyloides from people and dogs are the same species, so that dogs can be infected with it and act as a source of human infection. Under such a scenario, dogs’ faeces – which in most endemic areas are unmanaged – would be a source of infective stages that could infect people. This work aims to investigate the host range of S. stercoralis and the zoonotic potential of dog-derived Strongyloides, and so manage that infection risk to people.
The current study sampled sympatric populations of worms from people and dogs in Asia. Individual Strongyloides larvae from people and dogs were subjected to whole genome sequencing. DNA reads from each individual sample were then used to investigate the parasite’s population genetics.
The epidemiological data revealed a higher Strongyloides prevalence in people than in dogs in Thailand, though in communities in Bangladesh and Cambodia the prevalence in people and dogs was more similar. This indicates that the transmission of Strongyloides between people and dogs might vary across Asia.
Population genomic analyses of 158 individual samples showed that parasites from people and dogs in Asia belonged to different genetic clusters. People were infected with a range of closely related S. stercoralis genotypes that were widely dispersed across Asia. In contrast, parasites from dogs clustered into five genetically distinct groups, with four clusters differing from those found in humans. Interestingly, one genotype from a dog in Cambodia clustered with those found in humans. These data suggest that Strongyloides in people and dogs in Asia are different parasites, though dogs may rarely be infected with Strongyloides from people. Mitochondrial genomes of these 158 samples were similar to the mitochondrial genome of S. stercoralis reference strain PV001 but differs from those of other Strongyloides spp, indicating that Strongyloides in people and dogs are different populations of S. stercoralis. Also, the historical introgression of the mitochondrial genomes between human- and dog-derived S. stercoralis was found to have occurred as early as 20,000 years ago, which overlaps with the history of dog domestication by people.
Moreover, human- and dog-derived parasites showed different patterns of genetic diversity in the parasitism islands of S. stercoralis, which suggests that the parasitism islands of S. stercoralis are under diverse, and distinct selection pressure in different host environments.

Die Evolution der Pferde, "Brückentiere" wie Archaeopteryx und das Schnabeltier, die Abstammung des Menschen, Darwin-Finken, die klassischen Evolutionsfaktoren der Synthetischen Theorie, Homologie und Analogie, Lamarckismus und Darwinismus - manchmal hat man den Eindruck Biologie-Schulbücher und Lehrpläne zur Evolution und Geschichte des Lebens auf der Erde sind den immer gleichen Inhalten und Beispielen aus den 1950er Jahren verhaftet. Am Museum für Naturkunde Magdeburg versuchen wir daher seit langem im Rahmen von Ausstellungen, Museumspädagogik-Programmen, Führungen und Vorträgen ein reicheres Bild zu vermitteln. Besonders unsere Sonderausstellungen aus eigener Konzeption mit den Titeln "ColorVision - Evolution der Farbigkeit" (2019/2020), "BioMinerale - Perlmutt, Spirale, Schale" (2021/2022), "Spuren im Stein - aus dem Zeitalter der Ursaurier" (2022/2023) und "Urzeitkrebse - Überlebenskünstler der Natur" (2023/2024) boten zahlreiche oft nur wenig populärwissenschaftlich verbreitete Beispiele zu unterschiedlichen Organismengruppen und aus verschiedenen Teilgebieten der Bio- und Geowissenschaften. Dabei war es uns ein Anliegen, auch komplexe und fachübergreifende Konzepte wie Biomineralisation, plattentektonische Zyklen und Klimawandel im Verlauf der Erdgeschichte, Methoden der Stratigraphie und Altersbestimmung, Massensterben und Recovery-Phasen, Auftreten und Verbreitung von evolutionären Neuerungen (key innovations), Ursprung und Evolution des Farbsehens und stammesgeschichtliches Denken (tree thinking) zu thematisieren. Der Beitrag veranschaulicht verschiedene Aspekte der Magdeburger Museumsarbeit als Anregung und Diskussionsgrundlage.

description:
Behördliche Genehmigungsverfahren für Projekte ab einer gewissen Größenordnung unterliegen in Deutschland seit einiger Zeit regelmäßig starker öffentlicher Kritik, z.T. durch die etablierten Umweltverbände, z.T. aber auch durch eigens gegründete Bürgerinitiativen. Dabei werden auch über die in den verschiedenen Verfahren vorgeschriebene Beteiligung hinaus auch die Möglichkeiten des Rechtsstaats immer häufiger genutzt, so dass behördliche Genehmigungen immer öfter durch die Verwaltungsgerichtsbarkeit bis hin zum Bundesverwaltungsgericht überprüft werden. Überspitzt könnte man formulieren, dass die Verwaltungsgerichte inzwischen zur obersten Genehmigungsinstanz in Deutschland geworden sind.

Dies hat insbesondere für die Genehmigungsbehörden zur Folge, dass bei "umstrittenen" Verfahren die verwaltungsrichterliche Überprüfung sinnvoller Weise schon im Verfahren mitgedacht und und bei der Formulierung der einzelnen Genehmigungen, aber auch der jeweiligen Begründungen und Abwägungen berücksichtigt werden sollte.

Dabei müssen z.B. bei Vorhaben, die Auswirkungen auf Menge oder Qualität von Grundwasser haben können, z.T. sehr komplexe Abhängigkeiten und Wechselwirkungen in einer für fachliche Laien wie z.B. Verwaltungsrichter verständlichen Sprache beschrieben werden. Gleichzeitig muss natürlich diese Beschreibung dem Juristen aber auch die Grundlage für seine Entscheidungsfindung liefern, also im Hinblick auf jeweilige juristische Problematik nachvollziehbar formuliert sein. Dies ist nur im engen Austausch mit juristischem Fachpersonal und weitestgehendem Verzicht auf geologisches Fachvokabular möglich.

Denn nur bei einer korrekten, für ihn verständlichen Beschreibung des Sachverhaltes kann der Richter Tatbestandsmerkmale prüfen und entsprechende Rechtsfolgen korrekt ableiten. Damit hat die geologisch-hydrogeologische Expertise - zielgerichtet und für Laien verständlich formuliert - eine entscheidende Bedeutung für den Verfahrensausgang.

Anpassung der Kommunikation an das Zielpublikum und Verzicht auf "Geologenkauderwelsch" erhöhen die Durchschlagskraft der fachlichen Argumentation!
title: Data to Dialogue: How Communicating Responsible Resource Management Matters for Future Generations
Creators: name: Neumann, Bianca Derya

description:
The goal of the energy transition is to enable future generations a fair and just opportunity to live without bearing the costs of the doings of previous generations. This transition, marked by international commitments to tripling renewable energy capacities and advancing critical mineral intensive technologies, underscores the crucial role of managing critical minerals in discussions on and beyond climate justice. Achieving inter- and intragenerational justice necessitates extending the dialogue to include responsible resource management practices both now and in the future. Scholars of intergenerational justice argue that the current SDG-oriented approach to resource management falls short. But even within this comparatively weaker framework, implemented resource management practices often fail to meet sustainability criteria due to economic pressure.

This keynote will dive into some the underlying reasons for the shortcomings of existing frameworks and explore potentially promising approaches to addressing intergenerational justice in resource management while ensuring economic stability and the well-being of current generations. By showcasing some of the work of the Resource Management Young Member Group (RMYMG) within the UNECE Expert Group on Resource Management, diverse perspectives and approaches from youth will shed light on their efforts to transform our current resource management practices to better meet intergenerational justice. RMYMG has published a Guidebook on Intergenerational Action in Critical Minerals Management, a White Paper on demand-side considerations in CRM management and has advocated for the inclusion of resource management in global policy forums. This keynote serves as an introduction to the fresh insights and approaches of the youth.

description: The original parts of the calendar indicate that this missal was meant for use in the Diocese of Lausanne, whereas the later entries attest to its presence and use in the celebration of the Mass in the Diocese of Sion at the latest since 1300. Three special sequences suggest that the missal originated in the Abbey of St. Maurice (188v: sequence of Theodulf Collaudetur rex virtutum; 190r: sequence of Augustine Augustino laude demus and 189r: sequence of Maurice Pangat Syon dulce melos). The Canon of the Mass is decorated with an illuminated initial, with the Vere dignum, and with a frame showing the crucifixion, the Virgin and St. John (97v). The most important holidays are introduced with decorated initials on a gold background (4v, 13rb, 17ra, 18ra etc.). In 1981, the Valais State Archives purchased this codex on the antiquarian book market.

description:
Underground hydrogen storage in porous rocks is a promising method for large-scale energy storage. However, results for the geochemical reactivity of hydrogen with reservoir rocks are still rare, particularly for their potential effects on reservoir performance. Some minerals such as hematite, pyrite, and calcite can react with hydrogen under certain temperatures. These mineralogical transformations due to the presence of hydrogen may change the pore structure and affect the storage properties. In this study, we investigated the geochemical reactivity of hydrogen with Buntsandstein reservoir sandstones, collected from hydrocarbon wells at a depth of about 2.5 km. The experiments were performed at 100 °C under 150 bar for one month. Four different scenarios including dry hydrogen, dry air, synthetic saline fluid-saturated rocks with pure hydrogen and with pure helium were systematically compared to understand the reaction attributed to hydrogen instead of fluid-rock interactions or temperature effects. Permeability, porosity, magnetic susceptibility and fluid element concentration were measured before and after experiments to shed light on the potential reaction. The results indicate that no fundamental and substantial changes in the minerals were induced by hydrogen reaction under the simulated conditions. Magnetic susceptibility reveals that no magnetic minerals (e.g., magnetite) were formed. The slight variation of permeability and porosity is mainly due to fluid-rock interaction indicated by the changes in the fluid element concentration. Our results reveal that there is no risk of hydrogen loss and reservoir (Buntsandstein sandstone) performance reduction due to geochemical reactions of hydrogen under temperatures up to 100 °C.

Geosciences represent one of the most diverse fields of research and therefore provide a superb opportunity to study the complex Earth System, offering manifold perspectives and links to connect with other disciplines. Are we fully exploiting this potential, especially seen the role of geosciences for society, interdisciplinary research and international collaboration?

In my talk, I would like to emphasize on the relevance of geoscience for society by (1) informing the future about, for example, the bandwidth of prospective future changes in key parameters of the Earth System such as, for example, temperature and sea level rise, (2) highlight the potential of Geoscience for collaboration within the Earth-Environment-Human System by providing examples from current and ongoing research, combining, for example, approaches from natural and social science, as well as between scientific and local knowledge, and (3) discuss how we can better support innovative research and cooperation.

description:
The energy transition will require vast amounts of mineral raw materials. Only a small part of this demand is likely to be covered by recycling. A large part of the current discussion has therefore centered on the question whether the mining industry can provide sufficient supply in this critical period of global development. This lecture briefly examines the magnitude of this issue, and then discusses current research aiming to improve our foresight on future mineral supply. The examples of gallium and lithium will be used to illustrate the most important questions as well as potential solutions.
Zürich, Braginsky Collection, B26 : Pentateuch and Haftarot
Publisher: name: e-codices - Virtual Manuscript Library of Switzerland
Year: 2024

description: This manuscript contains the full text of the Pentateuch and haftarot (weekly readings from the Prophets). The manuscript has six illuminated initial word panels found at the beginning of each of the books of the Pentateuch and at the heading of the haftarot. The semi-cursive Sephardic Hebrewscript and other codicological features of this manuscript point toward a Sephardic origin from the second half of the fifteenth century. It is likely that the Braginsky Pentateuch was the work of an artist who was active in the Lisbon School, which is known for producing around 30 distinctive manuscripts characterized by their largely non-figurative decoration: filigree initial word panels, floral and abstract pen work in purple ink, and multicolored dots and flowers.

description:
Constant depletion of high-grade metal deposits focuses mankind’s attention on technology assuring efficient metal recovery from low-grade deposits. Biohydrometallurgy appears as effective, cost-friendly and environmentally benign technique for resource extraction from metal-bearing phases through microbial activity. Due to number of factors influencing final metal recovery, such as pH-Eh conditions, applied microorganisms, chemical and phase composition of bioleached ore, each deposit should be considered as individual case, and thus examined meticulously.

In this research heterotrophic bacterial strain Pseudomonas fluorescens was investigated in terms of metal bioleaching from polymetallic, organic-rich Kupferschiefer shale. Scrutiny involved two different Kupferschiefer samples, displaying various metal concentrations. Activity of Pseudomonas fluorescens was compared to the activity of Acidithiobacillus thiooxidans strain.

The 35-days-long bacterial incubations proved the effectiveness of Pseudomonas fluorescens towards metals leaching, especially in case of copper and molybdenum. In most cases Pseudomonas fluorescens resulted in more advanced metal solubilization within the solution compared to Acidithiobacillus thiooxidans. Differences between activity of those two strains involve not only metal leaching, but alterations of the shale surface as well.

Additionally, restricting organic nutrient for Pseudomonas fluorescens as potential way of optimizing was examined. Despite lower effectiveness in metal leaching as compared to well-feeded strain, noticeable metal solubilization was maintained. This could reflect either nutrient stress or possibility of obtaining organic carbon from kerogen particles present in both shale samples.

Conducted experiments highlight the role of Pseudomonas fluorescens in metal mobility from metalliferous shale and open the perspective of more detailed investigation of bacterial-mineral interactions and enhancing metal recoveries.

description: Apart from the daily prayers, this manuscript also contains kabbalistic commentaries and kavvanot
 (mystical intentions). In the kabbalistic school of Safed (Upper
Galilee), the mystical aspect of prayer, as “the vehicle of the soul's
mystical ascent to God,” is of great importance. The authorship of this
prayer books is generally attributed to Isaac ben Solomon Luria
(1534–1572). The manuscript begins with an unfinished title page
 that contains a decorative floral border in red, yellow and green, but
without any text. In the ornamental colorful border there is the
inscription “Samuel ha-Kohen, cantor in Broda,” who is either the
copyist or perhaps the person for whom the book was written. The
manuscript was a part of the collection of Naphtali Herz van Biema
(1836-1901), an Amsterdam collector, whose books were auctioned in 1904.
 Many of these books had previously belonged to his wife's family of
prominent orthodox philanthropists and bibliophiles known as the
Amsterdam Lehren family.

description:
In Germany, all nuclear power plants have been shut down and some are already in various stages of decommissioning. All waste volumes that are not deposited in a repository must pass through officially approved clearance procedures, which are regulated in the German Radiation Protection Ordinance (StrlSchV 2021). After clearance, the materials can be fed into further material cycles or disposed of in accordance with the type of release. The release values of the Radiation Protection Ordinance are based on the 10 µSv criterion. This criterion is intended to ensure the protection of the population from ionizing radiation.

Numerical groundwater models can be used to simulate the distribution of radionuclides and provide information on concentrations in space and time, which can be used as input parameters for calculating possible ingestion doses for different exposure paths.

The basic transport processes of advection, diffusion, dispersion, and sorption are implemented in the simulation codes "Simulation of Processes in Groundwater (SPRING)" (König et al. 2023), “DuMux – Dune for Multiphase flow and transport” (Koch et al. 2021) and "distributed density-driven flow (d3f++)" (Fein & Schneider 1999, Fein 2004). Decay chains can also be modeled in the codes.

The model area represents a simple 2D model and a generic landfill body with its various layer compartments and an associated aquifer. In a further model, the infiltration of precipitation water into contaminated soil with mass transport into the saturated zone is considered. This work presents the first results of the generic numerical groundwater models.

description: In 1728 Meir Cohen Belinfante copied this decorated psalter from the 1670 printed edition by the Amsterdam printer of Hebrew and Spanish books, David de Castro Tartas, who was active between 1662 and 1698. The manuscript has a decorated title page, which depicts David, the psalmist, and Aaron, making a clear reference to the first name of the patron, whereas the bottom part of this page portrays a scene of the biblical Joseph, making a correlation with the patron's father, also named Joseph. All decorations, including the title page, were executed in brown ink similar to the text ink. At the end of the manuscript, there is a text by the corrector, Isaac Saruk, who praised the precision of the manuscript and wrote a poem in honor of the patron Aaron de Joseph de Pinto, from whom the manuscript takes its name.

description: Zircons (Zr[SiO₄]) are minerals that crystallize out of the melt at an early stage, primarily in felsic and intermediate magmatites. They are characterised by their particular resistance to mechanical and chemical influences and are therefore preserved for a long time in sediments that emerge from such magmatites. Besides their U-Pb age determination, studies regarding their morphological features help to improve provenance studies.
Since different areas of origin of sediments are usually delimited by different age populations of the zircons depending on the geological evolutionary histories, areas of origin can be reconstructed by dating the zircons in the sediments. A sediment is therefore virtually the last link in a possible chain of geomorphological cascades. This so-called provenance research is a standard method in geology today, but is still rarely used in Quaternary research. In addition to the dating and thus assignment to a supply area, features on the grain surfaces of the zircons can provide information on the geomorphological transport mechanisms, an approach that is only slowly finding its way into research.
The aim of the lecture is to demonstrate the potential of provenance analysis and, in particular, surface morphological methods for Quaternary geomorphological questions using examples from the south-west of the USA.

description: This 10th century manuscript contains the works of Horace. It is arranged in such a way as to leave lots of space for marginal glosses next to the poems. These glosses — usually together with interlinear glosses — have been added in a different ink from the main text and by various hands. The localization of the manuscript is uncertain. The only Old High German gloss might have been written in Franconia. The manuscript’s presence in St. Gall is not attested until the middle of the 17th century.

title: Nd isotopic signatures of Ordovician sequences from Central Iberia: Unclear origin for older TDM along Paleozoic times

description:
The Rodada Formation is one of the Ordovician sequences that crops out in the eastern domain of the Iberian Central System (Central Iberian Zone, CIZ). This formation is mainly composed of Middle Ordovician (Darriwillian) fine-grained shales. An isotopic study (Sr and Nd) in 15 shale samples of this formation reveals negative εNd(460) values, which indicate a high cortical affinity and relatively older isotopic signatures (TDM= 1.6-1.8 Ga). These Nd model ages prove to be older than those associated with Ediacaran and Cambrian sequences in southern CIZ. Altogether, TDM values represent an inverse chronological evolution compared to the ages of the stratigraphic sequences. The causes for this evolution are yet unclear, however it should be considered that, during the Middle Ordovician, the North African margin of Gondwana shares the characteristics of a passive margin affected by a pronounced extension. In this margin, the location of the CIZ is subject to an extensive debate. Even so, it is commonly accepted that its sedimentary sequences were deposited in an elongated section of the continental shelf adjacent to the Sahara Metacraton and Trans-Saharan Orogen. The evolution followed by the TDM record may be compatible with a progressive variation in the source areas and their shifting towards regions closer to the West African Craton. In addition, it may be also explained by an increased exposure or progressive exhumation of the cratonic domains of northern African continent. An extended post-glacial period may have contributed to both processes, either by the retreat of the ice sheet or by the subsequent isostatic compensation.

description: The Speculum humanae salvations is a work consisting of texts and illustrations of Biblical content. Each double page of the opened book shows four images, which usually juxtapose one scene from the life of Christ with three prefigurations from the Old Testament. In the present manuscript, this order has not been sustained consistently. The Latin text source has been translated into German verses, which earlier were erroneously attributed to Konrad von Helmsdorf. The Speculum is preserved as a composite manuscript of manuscripts and printed works; several pages are missing in the beginning.

Conescharellina longirostris Silén, 1947a: 41, text-figs 25, pl. 1, figs 7, 8.
Material examined. Syntypes: SMNH-Type-4605 (two colonies; Fig. 45F–H), Java Sea, Noordwachter Island, Malay Archipelago; 2°56'S, 107°55'E; depth 15–18 m. Leg. C. Aurivillius 1891. Additional material: SMNH-220511 (Fig. 45A–E), a third colony included in the same box as the syntypes, morphologically distinct from C. longirostris and now registered as Conescharellina sp.
Remarks. As for Conescharellina brevirostris, also for C. longirostris, the number of colonies available in the syntype series is different from the number of colonies reported in Silén (1947a), i.e. three colonies available in the collection versus five colonies reported in the original publication. Of these, two colonies have well developed peristomes as stated in the original description (Fig. 45F–H), one colony does not (Fig. 45A–E). Unfortunately, the two colonies with prominent peristome are poorly preserved, preventing meaningful description and observation of the main diagnostic feature of this species, i.e. the large latero-oral avicularium with elongate rostrum associated with each zooid (see Silén 1947a, text-fig. 25). In addition to the absence of peristomes, the remaining colony also lacks the large latero-oral avicularium typical of C. longirostris, and it differs from C. laevis in the shape of the orificial sinus (i.e. bowl-shaped versus U-shaped). Table 40 gives the zooidal measurements for this colony, reported as Conescharellina sp. Colony size is 1.585 × 1.450 mm. This specimen is now registered under the catalogue number SMNH-220511.
Poor preservation of the remaining two colonies prevented size measurements.

The fit for 55 package, which outlines policy measures to deliver the EU Green Deal, calls for a greater than 40 % target for renewable energy sources by 2030 in the Renewable Energy Directive (RED). It also calls for an increased primary (39 %) and final (36 %) energy savings to be achieved by the Energy Efficiency Directive (EED). Accelerating the penetration of cost-effective and energy efficient renewable heating and cooling (RES HC) technologies will be key to the successful achievement of these targets.

Geothermal heat pumps are the most cost-effective and efficient source of renewable heating and cooling on the market. They can meet the heating and cooling needs in residential and non-residential buildings of all sizes with varied energy profiles. Furthermore, they can be applied as individual applications at building scale, or through renewable district heating and cooling systems.

One big challenge at the moment and for future years is decarbonising heating and cooling grids for new builds and in particular for existing buildings. geoENERGIE Konzept presents projects in different stages of development of their wide portfolio. Hereby lies the focus on district heating and cooling grids for new as well as existing buildings, hybrid systems with other renewable sources and underground thermal energy storage.
