description: We have analysed the structure of cultivable choanal microbiota from free-living birds in relation to bird diet, its richness and the relative number of opportunistic bacteria acquired from the environment. For this purpose, we have taken choanal swabs from 25 free-living birds representing 13 different bird species captured in Slovenia. From the grown cultures, 98 bacterial colonies were isolated and their 16S rRNA genes sequenced. Most of the bacteria belonged to the phylum Actinobacteria (52 %), Proteobacteria (31 %), Firmicutes (15 %) and Bacteroidetes (4 %). Thirty-two percent of sampled birds were colonized by known human opportunists and 44 % of birds by at least one known plant pathogen. Hierarchical clustering of the analyzed microbiota grouped the birds according to their predominant diet. The richness of choanal microbiota from birds feeding mainly on insects was poorer compared to the birds feeding on diverse animal and plant material. The study has shown that the free-living birds carry an important reservoir of opportunistic human and plant pathogenic bacteria in their upper respiratory tract. To get a deeper insight into its composition, a bigger pool of birds will have to be analyzed in the future.

description: Activin B, a TGFβ ligand, is associated with liver inflammatory response. We aimed to investigate whether it modulates liver fibrogenesis.  Liver and serum activin B, along with its analog activin A, were analyzed in patients with liver fibrosis from different etiologies and in mouse acute liver injury and liver fibrosis models. Activin B, activin A, or both was immunologically neutralized in progressive or established carbon tetrachloride-induced mouse liver fibrosis. The direct effects of activin B and A on hepatocytes, macrophages, and hepatic stellate cells (HSCs) were evaluated in vitro. In human patients, increased activin B is associated with liver fibrosis irrespective of the etiologies. In mice, activin B exhibited persistent elevation in liver and circulation following the onset of liver injury, whereas activin A displayed transient increases. Neutralizing activin B largely prevented and remarkably regressed liver fibrosis, which was augmented by co-neutralizing activin A in mice. Mechanistically, activin B promoted hepatocyte injury, activated macrophages to release cytokines, and induced a pro-fibrotic expression profile and septa formation in HSCs, which were magnified by activin A. Furthermore, activin B and A interdependently activated the CXCL1/iNOS pathway in macrophages and additively upregulated CTGF transcript in HSCs in vitro. Consistently, the expression of these genes was prohibited by neutralizing either one of these two ligands in injured livers. Activin B potently drives the initiation and progression of liver fibrogenesis. It additively or interdependently cooperates with activin A, directly acts on multiple liver cell populations, and induces liver fibrogenesis. Antagonizing activin B or both activins B and A prevents and regresses liver fibrosis in mouse CCl4 model, inspiring the development of a novel therapy of chronic liver diseases.

description: Hintergrund: Bereits im Kindesalter kann Adipositas die Gesundheit gefährden und bis ins Erwachsenenalter negative gesundheitliche Auswirkungen entfalten. Eine systematisierte und kontinuierlich aktualisierte Zusammenstellung relevanter Informationen über die multifaktoriellen Ursachen kindlicher Adipositas ist in Deutschland bisher nicht verfügbar. Der Beitrag stellt die Ergebnisse einer systematischen Literaturrecherche nach Einflussfaktoren kindlicher Adipositas dar, die im Zuge des Aufbaus eines bevölkerungsweiten Monitorings durchgeführt wurde. Methode: Die Suchstrategie bestand aus drei Schritten: Zunächst wurde die Literatur nach Erklärungsmodellen der kindlichen Adipositas durchsucht. Darauf aufbauend erfolgte eine Recherche von Übersichtsarbeiten zu Einflussfaktoren kindlicher Adipositas. Die Ergebnisse wurden anschließend mit internationalen Leitlinien, die sich mit Einflussfaktoren kindlicher Adipositas befassen, abgeglichen. Ergebnisse: Es wurden 21 Erklärungsmodelle, 75 Übersichtsarbeiten und 7 Leitlinien identifiziert und über 60 Einflussfaktoren der kindlichen Adipositas extrahiert. Diese lassen sich in die Bereiche Ernährungs-, Bewegungs- und Schlafverhalten, biologische Faktoren und Erkrankungen, pränatale und frühkindliche Faktoren, psychosoziale Faktoren, Lebensmittelangebot, Bewegungsmöglichkeiten, Setting und soziales Umfeld, Präventionsmaßnahmen und Gesundheitsförderung, sozioökonomische, demografische, soziokulturelle und sonstige Faktoren gliedern. Schlussfolgerungen: Der Beitrag verdeutlicht die komplexe Struktur der Einflussfaktoren kindlicher Adipositas im Sinne eines sozialökologischen Erklärungsansatzes. Die Recherche bildet die Basis für das Monitoringsystem „Bevölkerungsweites Monitoring adipositasrelevanter Einflussfaktoren im Kindesalter“, das bis Ende 2017 am Robert Koch-Institut aufgebaut wird.

Er wurde von Mitarbeitenden des Leibniz-Instituts für Psychologie verfasst. Als testlesende Person war Ruben Brück beteiligt. Der KLARpsy-Text befasst sich mit folgenden Inhalten: Schenken ist manchmal kompliziert. Es kann passieren, dass die beschenkte Person eine andere Reaktion zeigt, als von der schenkenden Person erwartet. Wenn die Erwartungen und Bewertungen des Geschenks nicht übereinstimmen, sprechen Forschende von einer „Gift Gap“ (deutsch etwa: Geschenke-Erwartungslücke). Verschiedene Faktoren können zu diesem Unterschied beitragen. Dazu gibt es schon viele einzelne Studien. Eine Übersichtsarbeit dazu, wie groß der Unterschied zwischen Schenkenden und Beschenkten ist und welche Faktoren diesen Unterschied beeinflussen, fehlt aber noch. Mit ihrer Übersichtsarbeit wollten die Forschenden herausfinden: 1. Wie groß ist der Unterschied in der Bewertung des Geschenks zwischen Schenkenden und Beschenkten? 2. Welche Faktoren beeinflussen diesen Unterschied? In umgerechnet 70 von 100 Fällen kommt ein Geschenk beim Beschenkten anders an als vom Schenkenden erwartet. Das Risiko, dass ein Geschenk anders ankommt, ist höher, wenn es sich um ein sentimentales Geschenk handelt, wenn es privat konsumiert wird, oder wenn Schenkende und Beschenkte befreundet sind.

Die Zahl der HIVNeuinfektionen und die Gesamtzahl der Menschen mit HIV in Deutschland können nur mit Hilfe von Modellrechnungen abgeschätzt werden. Daher werden vom Robert Koch-Institut (RKI) regelmäßig Schätzungen zum Verlauf der HIV-Epidemie erstellt. ▶▶Die Zahl der HIV-Neuinfektionen in Deutschland und bei Menschen deutscher Herkunft, die sich im Ausland mit HIV infiziert haben, wird für das Jahr 2016 auf 3.100 geschätzt und bleibt damit gegenüber 2015 konstant. Die Zahl der Menschen, die sich mit HIV infiziert haben, jedoch noch nicht diagnostiziert wurden, steigt seit 2006 stetig an und hat sich von etwa 10.900 im Jahr 2006 auf geschätzte 12.700 im Jahr 2016 erhöht. Insgesamt wird geschätzt, dass Ende 2016 etwa 88.400 Menschen mit einer HIV-Infektion in Deutschland lebten. ▶▶Die Anzahl der geschätzten HIV-Neuinfektionen bei Männern, die Sex mit Männern haben (MSM) ging von etwa 2.500 Neuinfektionen im Jahr 2013 auf 2.100 Neuinfektionen im Jahr 2016 zurück. Bei Personen mit intravenösem Drogenkonsum sowie Personen, die sich in Deutschland auf heterosexuellem Weg infiziert haben, ist die Anzahl der HIV-Neuinfektionen seit 2010 angestiegen. Im Jahr 2016 ging die Zahl der HIV-Erstdiagnosen bei Menschen aus allen ausländischen Herkunftsregionen zurück. ▶▶Seit 2015 empfehlen die HIV-Behandlungsleitlinien jede diagnostizierte HIVInfektion in Deutschland umgehend antiretroviral zu therapieren. Der Anteil der Personen, die mit einer HIV-Infektion diagnostiziert wurden und eine antiretrovirale Therapie erhalten, ist von 74 % im Jahr 2006 auf 86 % im Jahr 2016 angestiegen. Etwa 93 % dieser Therapien verliefen im Jahr 2016 erfolgreich ▶▶Die Modellierungsergebnisse zeigen auf, dass die Strategie zur Eindämmung von HIV 1 weiter konsequent umgesetzt werden sollte, insbesondere durch eine weitere Verbesserung der Testangebote und die Gewährleistung des Zugangs zur Therapie für alle in Deutschland von HIV betroffenen Menschen inklusive der Menschen ohne Krankenversicherung.

Design Paradigm for Modular Multilevel Converter Based Generator Rectifier Systems

Subjects: Electrical engineering not elsewhere classified

description: Modular Multilevel Converters (MMC) are being widely considered for medium to high voltage DC generation systems. Integrated system design optimization of the generator-MMC system through multi-objective optimization is of interest, because such an approach allows the trade-off between competing objectives (for example, mass and loss) to be explicitly and quantitatively identified. In this work, such an optimization based design paradigm for MMC based generator rectifier systems is developed. To formulate the design problem as a multi-objective optimization problem, it is required that the system waveforms can be obtained to facilitate the imposition of constraints and the estimation of power losses. Similarly, it is also desired to include detailed electric machine magnetic and electrical analysis in design optimization, as well as aspects such as the inductor and heat sink design. Such development typically requires detailed component design and simulation models for the electric machine and converter which are computationally expensive. As an alternative, the proposed work utilizes an electric machine metamodel, heat sink metamodel, and high-speed steady-state simulation model for the MMC to facilitate multi-objective optimization minimizing system metrics of interest while satisfying system constraints. Using the developed component simulation and design models, a multi-objective optimization based design of an MMC based generator-rectifier system is conducted.

description: Large, generalist, technology firms—so-called “big-tech” firms—powerful in their primary market, routinely enter secondary markets consisting of specialist firms. Naturally, one might expect a specialist firm to be fiercely protective of its data as a way to maintain its market position in the secondary market. Counter to this intuition, we demonstrate that a specialist firm willingly shares its market data with an intruding tech generalist. We do so by developing a model of cross market competition in which data collected via consumer usage in each market is a factor of product quality in both markets. We show that a specialist firm shares its data to strategically create co-dependence between the two firms, thereby softening competition and transforming the generalist firm from a traditional competitor into a co-opetitor. For the generalist intruder, data from the specialist firm substitute for its own investments in product quality in the secondary market. As such, the act of sharing data makes the intruder a stakeholder in the valuable data collected by the specialist, and consequently in the specialist’s continued success. Moreover, while the firms benefit from data sharing, consumers can be worse off from the weaker price competition and lower investments in innovation. Our results have managerial and policy implications, notably on account of backlash against data collection and the market power of big tech firms.
Data-Driven Safety Feedback as Part of Debrief for General Aviation Pilots

Subjects: Aerospace engineering not elsewhere classified

description: General Aviation (GA) is the foundation of most flying activities and the training ground for civilian pilots, both recreational and professional. However, the safety record for GA is lacking compared to that of commercial aviation. Approximately 75% of accidents each year involve personnel factors, that is, even if the pilot was not the cause of the accident, they could have done something to either prevent it or improve the outcome.
 In this research, I aim to improve GA safety through safety-driven post-flight debrief that encourages pilots to consider the risk in their flights and identify behavioral changes that could make their flying safer. Providing pilots with a debrief tool that they can use with or without a flight instructor requires that we know both what to communicate, and how to communicate it. Risk communication heuristics and biases have not been researched in the context of aviation and flight training and we therefore do not know how pilots understand or respond to debrief. To achieve the goals of this work, I used a three-step process: (1) identify events that may put the safe outcome of a flight at risk, (2) detect those events in flight data, and (3) inform the pilot in a way that helps them improve in their future flights. I use a state-based representation of historical aviation accidents to define a list of events or behaviors that need to be communicated to the pilots, in the form of states and triggers. I use flight data to retrospectively detect these behaviors upon completion of the flight, by mapping parameters or combinations of parameters that can be calculated and tracked in the flight data to the hazardous states and triggers defined. To present these events to pilots, I created a prototype interactive debrief tool with risk information that I use in a survey to evaluate the effectiveness of feedback in different representation formats. Specifically, I evaluate the impact of three factors: representation method (graphical and numerical), parameter type (safety and performance parameters), and framing language (risk-centric and safety-centric). I disseminated the survey via aviation mailing lists, type groups, flying clubs, and flight training providers, end received 268 responses. The survey analysis showed that the feedback representation does affect its effectiveness in terms of risk perception, but not when it comes to pilots’ motivation to change. The lessons learnt from this survey can be used in creating additional surveys that delve further into risk communication biases and our understanding of how pilots perceive risk and feedback.

description: The United States spent nearly 12 billion dollars on veteran education benefits in 2018 to support the approximately 900,000 military-connected students that accessed educational benefits (U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs, 2019). In reference to prior research, veteran and military-connected students reported issues with discrimination based on their military status, incongruence in navigating cultural differences, and perceptions of loss related to their college experience. To more efficiently use the billions of dollars slated for their education, institutions must addresses the issues that may affect veteran and military-connected students’ time in college. Participants for this study were 184 veteran and military-connected students from institutions across the United States, primarily from the Midwest. Results from the study indicated there was a relationship between the gains veteran and military-connected students associated with their experiences in college with their life satisfaction and likelihood to persist. No relationships emerged between perceived discrimination or cultural congruence and life satisfaction and likelihood to persist. Whereas differences also did not emerge among gender, race and ethnicity, and sexual orientation in this study, these results are likely due to underrepresentation and may not reflect the true experiences of veteran and military-connected students of minority statuses. The relationships that emerged between college-related gains and life satisfaction and likelihood to persist suggest that the appraisal of gains is an important factor for the well-being and educational attainment of veteran and military-connected students and could serve as a point for intervention.

description: The accelerated growth of algal blooms in water bodies has caused the increased occurrence of taste and odor (T&O) episodes worldwide. Even though T&O compounds have not been associated with adverse health effects, their presence can have extensive socio-economic impacts in contaminated waters. Eagle Creek Reservoir, a eutrophic water body, which supplies about 80% of Indianapolis drinking water, experiences frequent and sometimes severe odorous outbreaks. The terpenoid bacterial metabolites, 2-methylisoborneol (2-MIB) and geosmin, have been identified as the main compounds contributing to those T&O problems, which occur seasonally when the reservoir receives most of its water and nutrient loads from discharge events. In this study, ECR’s microbial community composition was assessed by a 16S next generation sequencing approach, confirming the presence of the major bacterial phyla of Cyanobacteria, Proteobacteria, Actinobacteria and Bacteroidetes, which are commonly found in freshwater environments. The relative abundance of Cyanobacteria, which are regarded as the main T&O producers in freshwater, followed the fluctuation of 2-MIB and geosmin concentrations closely. Mapping sequence analysis of a metagenomic dataset, successfully recovered the genes responsible for the synthesis of geosmin and 2-MIB, demonstrating the microbial ability for odorous compound production in ECR. Quantification of the geoA and MIBS genes in Cyanobacteria was achieved by the development and application of qPCR assays on water samples collected from the reservoir. A statistically significant positive correlation was found between MIBS gene quantity and MIB concentration for all sampling locations, implying that this assay could potentially be used as a tool for the early prediction of upcoming T&O episodes. The geoA gene detection assay, did not correlate well with geosmin concentrations, suggesting that even though the gene might be present, this does not necessarily mean that it is metabolically active.

description: After the Seven Years War German petty courts increasingly felt obliged to justify their very existence. Therefor members of the reigning dynasties developped strategies to represent themselves as ›enlightened‹ rulers. Especially for non-reigning princesses, practice and patronage of the fine arts – theatre, music, landscape gardening, literature, the plastic and graphic arts – should not only compensate for the dullness of everyday life at court, but were crucial means of an ›enlightened‹ representation. Duchess Anna Amalia of Saxe-Weimar-Eisenach (1739–1807) for example tried to (re-) present herself and her tiny court as well-informed in all current developments of fashion and the arts. The paper concludes in proposing further criteria to grasp the range of ›enlightenedness‹ of 18th-century princesses.  Après le guerre de sept ans les petits courts allemands se sentaient de plus en plus obligé de justifier leur existence. Ainsi, membres des dynasties regnantes developpaient des strategies de se représenter comme princes ‹éclairés›. Principalement pour les princesses non-regnantes, la pratique et le patronage des arts – théatre, musique, jardinage, literature, les arts plastiques – ne seulement compensaient pour l’ennui quotidien, mais de plus seraient des moyens décisifs d’une représentation ‹éclairée›. La duchesse Anne Amélie de Saxe-Weimar-Eisenach (1739–1809), par example, essayait de représenter la-même et leur petit court comme bien-informé et à la mode dans les arts et les courants du jour. Cet essai conclue en proposant d’autres critères pour saisir l’étendue de ‹l’éclaircissement› des princesses du 18ème siècle.

description: Forest canopies are a critical component of forest ecosystems as they influence many important functions. Specifically, the structure of forest canopies is a driver of the magnitude and rate of these functions. Therefore, being able to accurately measure canopy structure is crucial to ensure ecological models and forest management plans are as robust and efficient as possible. However, canopies are complex and dynamic entities and thus their structure can be challenging to accurately measure. Here we study the feasibility of using lidar to measure forest canopy structure across large spatial extents by investigating the compatibility of aerial and terrestrial lidar systems. Building on known structure-function relationships measured with terrestrial lidar, we establish grounds for scaling these relationships to the aerial scale. This would enable accurate measures of canopy structural complexity to be acquired at landscape and regional scales without the time and labor requirements of terrestrial data collection. Our results illustrate the potential for measures of canopy height, vegetation area, horizontal cover, and canopy roughness to be upscaled. Furthermore, we highlight the benefit of utilizing multivariate measures of canopy structure, and the capacity of lidar to identify forest structural types. Moving forward, lidar is a tool to be utilized in tandem with other technologies to best understand the spatial and temporal dynamics of forests and the influence of physical ecosystem structure.

description: This paper deals with the Masorah and masora figurata illustration displayed on fol. 196r in MS Biblioteca Apostolica Vaticana ebr. 14. The scribe – Eliyyah ben Berekhyah ha-Naqdan – designed a tower that refers to the conquest of the territories and the cities that are recounted at the end of parashat Maṭṭot. The peculiarity of this figurative illustration lies in the fact that it does not only encompass masoretic material related to the biblical text, but also integrates the scribe’s explanation on the exegetical and halakhic relevance of a masora parva note, in which he took up various Bible commentaries and related them to a source introduced as ‘Midrash Harninu.’ This article explains the mise-en-texte on this folio as well as the masoretic notes displayed in detail, and discusses the Midrash Harninu source reference with regard to the question as to which extant the pesiqta-literature was known in Northern France (especially in the Anglo-Norman region). In addition, it will be debated that Eliyyah’s masora figurata illustrations did not simply serve as decorative elements but fulfilled educational purposes. The manuscript, Vat. ebr. 14, thus, could have been used as a ‘class-book’ for Bible teachers and students alike.

description: Manuel del Socorro Rodriguez is presented here as a foundational figure regarding the formulation of the Colombian literary canon. It is maintained that his essay from 1792: “Satisfacción a un juicio poco exacto sobre la literatura y buen gusto, antiguo y actual, de los naturales de la ciudad de Santafé de Bogotá” [Satisfaction of a not quite accurate judgement on ancient and current literature and good taste by the naturals from the city of Santa Fe de Bogotá]” is the direct antecedent to the history of literature in Colombia. This essay of his is also seen as one of the first systematic attempts to configure the canon of any national literature in Hispanic America. Since such canon was formulated in a colonial environment, the lack of legitimation by a national community as a whole is thus considered.

description: The Popol Wuj is one of the most important, commonly studied, and widely circulated Indigenous literary works from colonial Mesoamerica. By some accounts, there are 1,200 editions of the work published in thirty world languages, all of which trace back to a single manuscript—itself a copy of an earlier Mayan work. To protect their work from being destroyed by colonial officials or Inquisitional authorities, the original K’iche’ authors of the Popol Wuj had to embed their ways of knowing in a language and narrative structure that could not be detected by Spanish readers. Each edition of the Popol Wuj therefore helps to uncover different elements of the cosmovisión that is embedded in the text. This article draws from recent collaborative efforts to prepare a digital critical edition of the Popol Wuj based on the editorial standards and scholarly conventions of the Text Encoding Initiative (TEI). By comparing and contrasting the advantages and drawbacks of this edition relative to printed works and digital editions, we suggest how methods from the digital humanities can shed new light on texts like the Popol Wuj.

description: Pancreatic Ductal Adenocarcinoma (PDAC) continues to have a dismally low survival rate due to late diagnosis and poor treatment options. Therefore, there is a need to understand the early stages and progression of the disease. PDAC is known to have two types of cells of origin: ductal cells or acinar cells. Since acinar-derived PDAC is thought to be the more malignant of the two, it was chosen as the focus of this work. Most studies of acinar cells as they relate to PDAC are accomplished by using animal models such as genetically engineered mouse models. While this method yields a large amount of insight into the progression of the disease and the role of specific genes, it has the drawbacks of being very time and resource intensive. The quicker and less costly alternative is in vitro culture. Specifically, here we have developed a microfluidic model which can incorporate a key aspect of the extracellular matrix (ECM), type I collagen, and mimics the 3D geometry of an in vivo acinus. Most attempts at in vitro culture have been limited by the fact that isolated acinar cells show a decrease in the amount of digestive enzymes they secrete as culture continues. For this reason, we are using a reprogrammed cancer cell line. These cells can be induced with doxycycline to express PTF1a, which allows the cells to adapt acinar characteristics, such as the production of digestive enzymes. We were able to successfully culture and induce PTF1a in these cells within our chip. We showed that the cells exhibit no invasion into the collagen matrix once PTF1a is expressed, thus eliminating a key aspect of cancer cell culture. The cells grown in the chip are confirmed to be producing PRSS2, the digestive enzyme trypsinogen. Collectively, this suggests that we have produced healthy acinar cells growing in the same configuration that they would in vivo. This has many applications in the study of pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma, as we have developed way to culture reprogramed cancer cells as their benign precursors and maintain acinar characteristics in vitro. It will also have applications in the study of many other pancreatic diseases by providing an in vitro model of a healthy, functional acinus.

Investigating The Parameter Space Of Potential Pulsars In Ultraluminous X-Ray Sources

description: Ultraluminous X-ray Sources (ULXs) are unresolved sources outside of the nucleus of a galaxy whose X-ray luminosities exceed the Eddington limit for accretion-powered emission by a neutron star or stellar mass black hole. Such objects have been typically explained by either beamed emission or Intermediate Mass Black Holes (IMBHs), but recently, emission from the ULX M82 X-2 was found to have a 1.37 s period with a 2.53 day sinusoidal variation in the period, indicating that a pulsar is powering ULX emission in X-2. This is challenging to explain, since pulsars have only a fraction of the mass of an IMBH. However, the fact that such a system exists suggests that there might be other ULXs powered by pulsars rather than black holes. In this project, we take the first steps in analyzing this potential for ULX pulsars by considering the space of orbital parameters and determining for which section of the space the pulsar’s binary orbit does not affect its detection. We plot the calculated parameter spaces, and we find that we expect to observe pulsars with longer periods (greater than 10 s) much more often than observing those with shorter periods. We further find that M82 X-2 lies outside of this ideal region in the parameter space, and confirm this using XMM-Newton data.

description: Exploramos aqui as interações entre a pesquisa historiográfica e os interesses estéticos e culturais em jogo em meados do século XX, os quais se rebatem na leitura dos monumentos arquitetônicos do passado. Um dos principais aspectos desse contexto é a percepção dos períodos históricos, em particular das fases clássica e neoclássica da arte francesa entre os séculos XVII e XVIII. O modo como os historiadores da arte franceses, entre 1924 e 1964, interpretam a arquitetura do Louvre de Luís XIV reflete as preocupações modernistas então em vigor e a exaltação de modelos teóricos fundados no neoclassicismo do século XVIII, anacronicamente projetados sobre a arquitetura monumental do século XVII.
