description: There has been a mixed public response on social media toward Saudi Vision 2030, which could threaten public support of its implementation. This research investigated local tensions between social, religious, political, and economic values concerning the Saudi Vision 2030 plan, with a view to understanding the opportunities and challenges of social and cultural change within an evolving Saudi society. In this study, Twitter activity is treated as a societal mirror that reflects some of the perceptions regarding the transformations taking place within Saudi society. Both a case study informed by tweets sampled from Saudi Arabia and Vision 2030 related documentation explored how the current public social media discourse reflects existing social, religious, and cultural tensions concerning the government-proposed Vision 2030. This study drew on theoretical framework informed by Durkheim’s and Ibn Khaldun’s theory of social change, Merton’s strain theory, and Luhmann’s Social System Theory, to explore social, political, economic, and religious tensions found within the interactions of Twitter users around projects and events implemented or inspired by Vision 2030. An application programming interface (API) was used to retrieve Twitter posts, while a thematic analysis was applied to published documents related to Vision 2030 to identify Saudi society’s challenges to the implementation of the Vision. The study found that within Saudi society, Vision 2030 had an impact upon the normative disorder already taking place due to the rapid changes brought about by the Vision. Specifically, the study highlighted the link between ambiguous, clear, or absent norms, and a person’s pre-existing background knowledge. Social and religious group norms were more ambitious than clear, whereas economic group norms tended to be clearer. Finally, the study found that over time, through public debates, norms moved from an ambiguous and absent stage and became increasingly well-defined. The study showed that Saudi society, as a result of Vision 2030, is experiencing a normative disorder.

description: We propose a Fourier projection algorithm and demonstrate its superiority for calculation of the phonon dispersion relations of 2D and 3D crystals based on the atomic coordinate trajectories from supercell molecular dynamics/first-principle molecular dynamics simulations. The lattice vibration states are described in a six-dimensional phase space composed of lattice and wave vectors. Phonon dispersion information in the first Brillouin zone sampled with a k-mesh grid of N×N×N is generated by Fourier projection of the lattice vibration frequencies in the supercell by N×N×N primitive cells, the dispersion relations along high-symmetry paths are retrieved therefrom. Our algorithm is physically intuitive, computationally convenient, and universally applicable. As examples of application, the successful dispersion relation calculations of 2D graphene, 3D BCC-Fe and FCC-Cu are presented. This algorithm shows the correspondence between real and reciprocal lattices, that is, the spatial information in the states of the lattice vibration were preserved. The high-symmetry paths of the first Brillouin zone in the reciprocal lattice primitive cells of the hexagonal, BCC, and FCC lattice were also given in detail. In combination with first-principles molecular dynamics, as long as the interatomic force is accurately known, reliable and accurate dispersion relation can be achieved by this Fourier projection algorithm.

description: The mirrored triangles illusion is described and investigated. Two black isosceles triangles are arranged symmetrically with respect to a vertical plane such that the apices face each other. While keeping their distance as well as their area constant, the shape of the triangles is varied. It is observed that the apparent distance of the tips varies as a function of the triangles´ shape, exhibiting a maximum when they are nearly rectangular. This coincides with the situation where the diameter of the outer circle encompassing both triangles approaches a minimum. An explanation is proposed where the variation of the apparent distance is ascribed to a size constancy effect. A mathematical function is derived and fitted to the experimental values. From this, a size constancy parameter of k= 0.477(33) is obtained.

description: Purpose: To assess the impact of the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic on the current study methods and future plans of medical students compared to those in the pre-pandemic period. Materials and methods: Second-grade medical students reported their academic experiences, study methods, and future career plans before (between 2016 and 2019) and during the pandemic (2020) using a questionnaire-based survey at Hokkaido University, Japan (n = 534). Results: From 2016 to 2019, we found an increasing trend for participation in short-term international exchange programs, taking the United States Medical Licensing Examination (USMLE), clinical training, and undertaking research abroad among the students. However, these percentages significantly declined (35.5%) during the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020 for all the assessed future plans, including short-term exchange programs (-27.9%), taking USMLE (-19.8%), clinical training (-24.5%), and undertaking research abroad (-13.2%) compared to 2019, wherein 67.9% of the students wished to have at least one of these four above-mentioned academic activities. Conclusions: The COVID-19 pandemic adversely and significantly influenced our medical students plans to go abroad for clinical and research training. Future studies are warranted to assess the long-term influence of this pandemic on the career planning of medical students.

description: The letter-books printed below, comprising Part I of this book, were kept by two different men. All but one of the books were those of John Tory Bourne of St. George's, Bermuda. He acted as Confederate Commercial Agent for Bermuda, and his letters throw considerable light on commercial problems of the Confederacy. The remaining letter-book was kept by Major Smith Stansbury, commander of the St. George's Confederate ordnance depot. His letters are, of course, most important for information on shipments of munitions into the Confederate States. Some of the Bourne letters follow typed copies in the St. George's Historical Society. The bulk of them, however, follows the original letter press books, in possession of the Hon. William E. S. Zuill, "Orange Grove," Smith's Parish, Bermuda, who kindly consented to write a Prefatory Note to Part I and who graciously gave permission to publish the Bourne and Stansbury letters. ... Part II of this volume contains cargo manifests of blockade runners which left St. George's, Bermuda, for Southern ports. These manifests were located in St. George's through the kindness of Mr. Hereward Watlington, Mr. Hugh Miller, and Mr. Harry Parker, of Hamilton. The editor hopes that they approximate all the runner's manifests in the Custom House at St. George's. The letters are printed in their original order, and they are published in different "books" exactly as they were found. This arrangement seems better than printing them chronologically, in view of their extent. The editor has taken the liberty of making minor corrections in the documents, where they seemed necessary for the sake of clarity

description: Two different isobutanol synthesis pathways were cloned into and expressed in the two model acetogenic bacteria Acetobacterium woodii and Clostridium ljungdahlii. A. woodii is specialized on using CO2 + H2 gas mixtures for growth and depends on sodium ions for ATP generation by a respective ATPase and Rnf system. On the other hand, C. ljungdahlii grows well on syngas (CO + H2 + CO2 mixture) and depends on protons for energy conservation. The first pathway consisted of ketoisovalerate ferredoxin oxidoreductase (Kor) from Clostridium thermocellum and bifunctional aldehyde/alcohol dehydrogenase (AdhE2) from C. acetobutylicum. Three different kor gene clusters are annotated in C. thermocellum and were all tested. Only in recombinant A. woodii strains, traces of isobutanol could be detected. Additional feeding of ketoisovalerate increased isobutanol production to 2.9 mM under heterotrophic conditions using kor3 and to 1.8 mM under autotrophic conditions using kor2. In C. ljungdahlii, isobutanol could only be detected upon additional ketoisovalerate feeding under autotrophic conditions. kor3 proved to be the best suited gene cluster. The second pathway consisted of ketoisovalerate decarboxylase from Lactococcus lactis and alcohol dehydrogenase from Corynebacterium glutamicum. For increasing the carbon flux to ketoisovalerate, genes encoding ketol-acid reductoisomerase, dihydroxy-acid dehydratase, and acetolactate synthase from C. ljungdahlii were subcloned downstream of adhA. Under heterotrophic conditions, A. woodii produced 0.2 mM isobutanol and 0.4 mM upon additional ketoisovalerate feeding. Under autotrophic conditions, no isobutanol formation could be detected. Only upon additional ketoisovalerate feeding, recombinant A. woodii produced 1.5 mM isobutanol. With C. ljungdahlii, no isobutanol was formed under heterotrophic conditions and only 0.1 mM under autotrophic conditions. Additional feeding of ketoisovalerate increased these values to 1.5 mM and 0.6 mM, respectively. A further increase to 2.4 mM and 1 mM, respectively, could be achieved upon inactivation of the ilvE gene in the recombinant C. ljungdahlii strain. Engineering the coenzyme specificity of IlvC of C. ljungdahlii from NADPH to NADH did not result in improved isobutanol production.

description: Lactate has various uses as industrial platform chemical, poly-lactic acid precursor or feedstock for anaerobic co-cultivations. The aim of this study was to construct and characterise Acetobacterium woodii strains capable of autotrophic lactate production. Therefore, the lctBCD genes, encoding the native Lct dehydrogenase complex, responsible for lactate consumption, were knocked out. Subsequently, a gene encoding a d-lactate dehydrogenase (LDHD) originating from Leuconostoc mesenteroides was expressed in A. woodii, either under the control of the anhydrotetracycline-inducible promoter Ptet or under the lactose-inducible promoter PbgaL. Moreover, LDHD was N-terminally fused to the oxygen-independent fluorescence-activating and absorption-shifting tag (FAST) and expressed in respective A. woodii strains. Cells that produced the LDHD fusion protein were capable of lactate production of up to 18.8 mM in autotrophic batch experiments using H2 + CO2 as energy and carbon source. Furthermore, cells showed a clear and bright fluorescence during exponential growth, as well as in the stationary phase after induction, mediated by the N-terminal FAST. Flow cytometry at the single-cell level revealed phenotypic heterogeneities for cells expressing the FAST-tagged LDHD fusion protein. This study shows that FAST provides a new reporter tool to quickly analyze gene expression over the course of growth experiments of A. woodii. Consequently, fluorescence-based reporters allow for faster and more targeted optimization of production strains. Key points •Autotrophic lactate production was achieved with A. woodii. •FAST functions as fluorescent marker protein in A. woodii. •Fluorescence measurements on single-cell level revealed population heterogeneity.

description: We formalize a universal unification algorithm for the class of equational theories which is induced by the class of canonical, totally-defined, not strictly subunifiable term rewriting systems (for short: ctn-trs). For a ctn-trs R and for two terms t and s, the algorithm computes a ground-complete set of E_R-unifiers of t and s, where E_R is the set of rewrite rules of R viewed as equations. The algorithm is based on the unification-driven leftmost outermost narrowing relation (for short: ulo narrowing relation) which is introduced in this paper. The ulo narrowing relation combines usual leftmost outermost narrowing steps and unification steps. Since the unification steps are applied as early as possible, some of the nonsuccessful derivations can be stopped earlier than in other approaches to E_R-unification. Furthermore, we formalize a deterministic version of our universal unification algorithm that is based on a depth-first left-to-right traversal through the narrowing trees.

description: The production of intense levels of gamma-rays requires a powerful relativistic jet in order to accelerate particles up to the highest energies. In the current AGN paradigm, powerful jets are exclusively launched from elliptical galaxies. We present first results from our near-IR host galaxy imaging survey of radio-loud (but not gamma-ray detected) Narrow-line Seyfert 1 galaxies (NLSy1). With structural modelling and colour information, we characterize their host galaxies, and compare their properties with those of gamma-loud NLSy1s, and high- and low-luminosity blazars (FSRQs and BL Lacs), previously studied by us (Kotilainen et al. 2016; Olguin-Iglesias et al. 2016,2017). This allows us to statistically investigate whether non-bulge dominated, evolutionarily young galaxies are able to launch relativistic jets powerful enough to shine at gamma-rays.

description: Quantum metrology is a powerful tool for explorations of fundamental physical phenomena and applications in material science and biochemical analysis. While in principle the sensitivity can be improved by increasing the density of sensing particles, in practice this improvement is severely hindered by interactions between them. Here, using a dense ensemble of interacting electronic spins in diamond, we demonstrate a novel approach to quantum metrology to surpass such limitations. It is based on a new method of robust quantum control, which allows us to simultaneously suppress the undesired effects associated with spin-spin interactions, disorder, and control imperfections, enabling a fivefold enhancement in coherence time compared to state-of-the-art control sequences. Combined with optimal spin state initialization and readout directions, this allows us to achieve an ac magnetic field sensitivity well beyond the previous limit imposed by interactions, opening a new regime of high-sensitivity solid-state ensemble magnetometers.

description: This thesis uncovers the experiences of transition from higher education
      for emerging adults - students and recent graduates - on the autism
      spectrum and explores their aspirations for the future. Evidence suggests
      that the number of students disclosing an autism spectrum diagnosis to
      their higher education institution in the UK has greatly increased in
      recent years and whilst there is a growing body of evidence which
      investigates the pre-induction needs of this population, there is a
      paucity of research which explores their experience in making the
      transition from higher education. A sample of twenty-one emerging adults
      (n=10 students and n=11 recent graduates) on the autism spectrum
      participated in the study where qualitative methods, including
      semi-structured interviews and visual life-maps, were utilised to develop
      an in-depth and contextualised understanding of post-graduate transition
      from eight higher education institutions across England.

      This study makes an original contribution to the field by offering a
      theorisation of transition for emerging adults on the autism spectrum as a
      complex phenomenon experienced across practical, psychological and
      philosophical domains. Three broad aspirational destinations –
      occupational, relational and personal – were identified for this
      population, with successful transition to each being affected by both
      distal and proximal capacities and resources. By understanding autism in
      terms of neurodiversity rather than deficits, this study demonstrates the
      enabling effects contextual factors can have with respect to the
      differences experienced by autistic people making the transition from
      higher education. The findings from this thesis have implications for
      higher education, employers and service-providers regarding policy and
      practice, particularly with respect to improving transitional support for
      emerging adults on the autism spectrum making the transition from
      university.

Contrasting activity times and habitat use of Virginia opossums (Didelphis virginiana) and raccoons (Procyon lotor) in urban natural areas
Creators: name: Jordan, Mark J.

Publisher: name: F1000Research

description: Background/Questions/Methods
We have a relatively limited understanding of how natural processes like habitat selection and species interactions function in urban landscapes that have been highly modified by humans. Urban environments feature reduced competition from top predators and increased availability of anthropogenic resources, both of which may alter the activity of co-occurring, generalist mesopredators. Given the lack of top predators, we may expect increased competition of ecologically released mesopredators. However, resource subsidies may buffer these competitive interactions. To address these knowledge gaps, we used camera traps to determine activity times and the patch and matrix landscape features that affect occupancy in two human commensal species, Virginia opossums (Didelphis virginiana) and raccoons (Procyon lotor) in natural areas in Seattle. We set camera traps at 41 samples units for 3-week sessions during 2 field seasons. We tested the hypothesis that greater niche partitioning between these human commensal mesopredator species would occur in an urban environment.

Results/Conclusions
Our results showed a significantly different distribution of activity times for the two species (U20.05,280,258 = 1.45, P < 0.001). Opossums were predominately nocturnal (X21 = 36.0, P < 0.001),while raccoons distributed their activity between nocturnal and crepuscular periods (X21 = 3.72, P = 0.054). While the two species co-occurred at many locations, we did observe differences in site occupancy, which were driven largely by the average percentage of impervious surfaces within a 250 m radius of the camera trap. Other covariates such as patch size, distance to nearest edge, human population density, and road density, were poorly-supported (by AIC) or had low effect sizes. Predicted opossum occupancy was highest at low levels of impervious surfaces and dropped considerably as impervious surfaces increased. Raccoons showed an opposite pattern, with higher overall occupancy that increased as impervious surfaces increased. Our results suggest opossums have a relatively narrow niche in urban environments. In comparison to previous studies of raccoon activity times, we have documented an apparent niche expansion. Because the two species’ activity times and presence do overlap, we did not document niche partitioning. Our results instead reflect raccoons’ greater behavioral plasticity and adaptability to urbanization.

Determining the scope and need for in vitro metabolism in high-throughput assays requires the generation of larger data sets that assess the impact of xenobiotic transformations on toxicity-related endpoints. The objective of the current study was to screen a set of 768 ToxCast chemicals in the VM7Luc estrogen receptor transactivation assay (ERTA) using the Alginate Immobilization of Metabolic Enzymes (AIME) hepatic metabolism method. Chemicals were screened with or without metabolism to identify estrogenic effects and metabolism-dependent changes in bioactivity. Based on estrogenic hit calls, 85 chemicals were active in both assay modes, 16 chemicals were only active without metabolism, and 27 chemicals were only active with metabolism. Using a novel metabolism curve shift method that evaluates the shift in concentration-response curves, 29 of these estrogenic chemicals were identified as bioactivated and 59 were bioinactivated. Human biotransformation routes and associated metabolites were predicted in silico across the chemicals to mechanistically characterize possible transformation-related ERTA effects. Overall, the study profiled novel chemicals associated with metabolism-dependent changes in ERTA bioactivity, and suggested routes of biotransformation and putative metabolites responsible for the observed estrogenic effects. The data demonstrate a range of metabolism-dependent effects across a diverse chemical library and highlight the need to evaluate the role of intrinsic xenobiotic metabolism in endocrine and other toxicity-related health effects.

Abstract:
The inputs to any given cell type will dictate its in vivo roles, such as inputs that occur during behavior-associated network rhythms. It is therefore important to characterize the types of inputs that different cell types receive. Here we focus on computationally predicting the properties of inputs along the dendrites of interneuron specific-3 (IS3) cells in CA1 hippocampus. Using experimentally-obtained excitatory and inhibitory postsynaptic currents (EPSCs and IPSCs), we optimize the synaptic parameter values for each compartment in a passive morphologically detailed IS3 cell multi-compartment model, such that the model successfully replicates the data. We obtain conductance values for single AMPA and GABAA receptors from the literature, which, together with our optimized synaptic weight values, could allow estimating ranges of AMPA and GABAA receptors per synapse with distance from soma. Our simulations showed that the estimates of receptor number per synapse are larger than could be expected, given the maximal numbers of receptors per synapse found in other cell types. To rectify this over-estimate, we established a simplified linear synaptic weight rule with distance from soma based on the weight values obtained from the most optimal fits. With the results obtained, we predict higher estimates of synaptic receptor densities in IS3 cell distal dendrites. Moving forward, these estimates of weight values along IS3 cell dendrites will contribute towards simulating in vivo-like activity patterns with our IS3 cell model.

description: Drivers of L3 automated vehicles (AVs) are not required to continuously monitor the AV system. However, they must be prepared to take over when requested. Therefore, it is necessary to design an in-vehicle environment that allows drivers to adapt their levels of preparedness to the likelihood of control transition. This study evaluates ambient in-vehicle lighting that continuously communicates the current level of AV reliability, specifically on how it could influence drivers’ take-over performance and mental workload (MW). We conducted an experiment in a driving simulator with 42 participants who experienced 10 take-over requests (TORs). The experimental group experienced a four-stage ambient light display that communicated the current level of AV reliability, which was not provided to the control group. The experimental group demonstrated better take-over performance, based on lower vehicle jerks. Notably, perceived MW did not differ between the groups, and the EEG indices of MW (frontal theta power, parietal alpha power, Task–Load Index) did not differ between the groups. These findings suggest that communicating the current level of reliability using ambient light might help drivers be better prepared for TORs and perform better without increasing their MW.

description: Research efforts over the past decades have unraveled both genetic and environmental factors, which contribute to the development of autism spectrum disorders (ASD). It is, to date, largely unknown how different underlying causes result in a common phenotype. However, the individual course of development and the different comorbidities might reflect the heterogeneous genetic and non-genetic contributions. Therefore, it is reasonable to identify commonalities and differences in models of these disorders at the different hierarchical levels of brain function, including genetics/environment, cellular/synaptic functions, brain regions, connectivity, and behavior. To that end, we investigated Shank3 transgenic mouse lines and compared them with a prenatal zinc-deficient (PZD) mouse model of ASD at the level of brain structural alterations in an 11,7 T small animal magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). Animals were measured at 4 and 9 weeks of age. We identified a decreased total brain volume (TBV) and hippocampal size of Shank3-/- mice but a convergent increase of basal ganglia (striatum and globus pallidus) in most mouse lines. Moreover, Shank3 transgenic mice had smaller thalami, whereas PZD mice had this region enlarged. Intriguingly, Shank3 heterozygous knockout mice mostly showed minor abnormalities to full knockouts, which might reflect the importance of proper Shank3 dosage in neuronal cells. Most reported volume changes seemed to be more pronounced at younger age. Our results indicate both convergent and divergent brain region abnormalities in genetic and non-genetic models of ASD. These alterations of brain structures might be mirrored.

description: Li-garnets are promising inorganic ceramic solid electrolytes for lithium metal batteries, showing good electrochemical stability with Li anode. However, their brittle and stiff nature restricts their intimate contact with both the electrodes, hence presenting high interfacial resistance to the ionic mobility. To address this issue, a strategy employing ionic liquid electrolyte (ILE) thin interlayers at the electrodes/electrolyte interfaces is adopted, which helps overcome the barrier for ion transport. The chemically stable ILE improves the electrodes-solid electrolyte contact, significantly reducing the interfacial resistance at both the positive and negative electrodes interfaces. This results in the more homogeneous deposition of metallic lithium at the negative electrode, suppressing the dendrite growth across the solid electrolyte even at high current densities of 0.3 mA cm−2. Further, the improved interface Li/electrolyte interface results in decreasing the overpotential of symmetric Li/Li cells from 1.35 to 0.35 V. The ILE modified Li/LLZO/LFP cells stacked either in monopolar or bipolar configurations show excellent electrochemical performance. In particular, the bipolar cell operates at a high voltage (≈8 V) and delivers specific capacity as high as 145 mAh g−1 with a coulombic efficiency greater than 99%.
