description: The oncogenic role of actin filament-associated protein 1 antisense RNA 1 (AFAP1-AS1) has been reported in retinoblastoma (RB). However, the underlying regulatory mechanisms remain poorly understood. In this study, reverse transcription-quantitative polymerase chain reaction (RT-qPCR) and Western blotting were performed to analyze the expression of AFAP1-AS1, microRNA miR-545-3p, or G protein subunit beta 1 (GNB1). Cell Counting Kit-8 (CCK-8) and Transwell migration assays were used to detect cell proliferation and migration. In addition, caspase-3 activity was monitored by caspase-3 activity assay. Luciferase reporter assays combined with RNA immunoprecipitation (RIP) and pull-down assays were performed to elucidate the target relationship between miR-545-3p and AFAP1-AS1 or GNB1. Xenograft tumor experiments were performed to evaluate RB cell growth in vivo. Increased AFAP1-AS1 and GNB1 expression in RB tissues and cells was confirmed by RT-qPCR; conversely, miR-545-3p was found to be downregulated in RB tissues and cells. AFAP1-AS1 overexpression resulted in increased proliferation and migration of RB cells, whereas AFAP1-AS1 silencing resulted in decreased proliferation and migration of RB cells. Moreover, AFAP1-AS1 was found to target miR-545-3p. The anti-miR-545-3p treatment phenocopied the effect of AFAP1-AS1 overexpression and promoted RB cell growth in vivo. miR-545-3p was found to directly target GNB1. GNB1 silencing resulted in reduced proliferation and migration of RB cells and attenuated the oncogenic effect of the miR-545-3p inhibitor. Thus, in this study, a novel ceRNA regulation network of AFAP1-AS1 in RB was identified, where AFAP1-AS1 regulated GNB1 expression by targeting miR-545-3p, ultimately driving RB progression.

description: The chemical constituents of the essential oils hydrodistilled from rhizome parts of Hedychium greenii W.W. Sm. and Hedychium gracile Roxb, of family Zingiberaceae, growing in India, were analysed for the first time by GC-FID and GC-MS, respectively. A total of 30 and 29 components representing 99.62 and 96.74% of the total oil were identified in the essential oils of H. greenii and H. gracile, respectively. The major components of H. greenii were bornyl acetate (31.32%), α-pinene (14.49%), camphene (12.81%) and limonene (10.55%), whereas H. gracile was dominated by β-pinene (25.24%), γ-terpinene (24.62%), terpinen-4-ol (14.87%) and 1,8-cineole (7.51%). Essential oils were assessed for antioxidant potential using 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) and 2′-azino-bis (3-ethylbenzothiazoline-6-sulphonic acid) (ABTS) radical scavenging assay. H. greenii oil exhibited stronger antioxidant potential as compared to H. gracile oil and butylated hydroxytoluene (BHT). Thus, H. greenii rhizome oil has the potential to be used as an alternative source of antioxidant.

description: Gut microbiota is associated with the growth of various tumors, including malignant gliomas, through the brain-gut axis. Moreover, the gut microbiota in patients with malignant tumors may considerably differ from those with benign tumors. However, the associations of gut microbiota with benign and malignant brain tumors remain unclear. Hence, in order to explore these underlying relationships, patients with benign meningioma (n = 32), malignant glioma (n = 27), and healthy individuals (n = 41) were selected to participate in this study. The results showed that the diversity of the microbial ecosystem in brain tumor patients were less than the healthy controls, while no significant differences were observed between the meningioma and glioma groups. The microbial composition also differed significantly between individuals with brain tumors and healthy participants. In meningioma group, pathogenic bacteria like Enterobacteriaceae were increased, whereas certain carcinogenic bacteria were overrepresented in the glioma group, including Fusobacterium and Akkermansia. Furthermore, benign and malignant brain tumor patients lacked SCFA-producing probiotics. Thus, a microbial biomarker panel including Fusobacterium, Akkermansia, Escherichia/Shigella, Lachnospira, Agathobacter, and Bifidobacterium was established. Diagnostic models confirmed that this panel could distinguish between brain tumor patients and healthy patients. Additionally, gut microbiota can affect the differentiation and proliferation of brain tumors via several metabolic pathways based on annotations from the Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG). This is the first study designed to investigate whether gut microbiota differs between benign and malignant brain tumor patients, and our work concluded that intestinal flora is a valuable tool for the diagnosis and treatment of brain tumors.
Hydrological controls on the functional ecology of riparian plant communities

description: Riparian ecosystems are biophysically complex, highly biodiverse and provide a broad array of essential ecosystem services to both humans and surrounding landscapes. Extensive catchment modification and alteration of natural river flows have resulted in widespread degradation of riparian ecosystems worldwide, with human population expansion and climatic change likely to exacerbate this situation over the next century. Basic information about the ecology of riparian plant communities in Australia is needed to inform riparian conservation and rehabilitation efforts. In this thesis, I used a functional trait approach to investigate how hydrology and other environmental variables template the ecology of riparian plant communities in temperate and subtropical eastern Australia. Functional traits such as wood density or seed mass provide fundamental information about the ecological strategies of plants, and facilitate comparison of communities in terms of how component species respond to and influence their environment. Chapters 2 and 3 present the findings of a field campaign across south-eastern Australia, and describe the role of fluvial disturbance and flow variability in determining functional trait composition and diversity in riparian plant communities. Chapter 4 investigates the role of environmental heterogeneity as a control on taxonomic and functional trait diversity in riparian plant communities of south-eastern Queensland, with an emphasis on the impacts of flow modification and land-use intensification. Chapter 5 describes a manipulative glasshouse experiment on the interactive effects of inundation and elevated atmospheric CO₂ on gas exchange, growth, and functional traits of three riparian tree species native to south-eastern Australia. In south-eastern Australia (Chapters 2 and 3), community wood density and functional trait diversity increased strongly with metrics describing flood magnitude and flow heterogeneity. In south-eastern Queensland (Chapter 4), species richness decreased and abundance of exotic species increased as hydrological conditions became more heterogeneous. Flow homogenisation by dams increased species richness, contrary to expectation.Functional trait diversity was associated with only a limited set of hydrological metrics, and was not influenced by flow modification or catchment land use. I found differing effects of atmospheric CO₂ concentration and waterlogging status on growth, gas exchange and functional traits between species (Chapter 5). This work highlights the importance of natural hydrological heterogeneity and anthropogenic alteration of flow availability as determinants of diversity in riparian vegetation communities.

description: Myocardial ischemia-reperfusion injury in diabetic patients leads to an increased incidence of complications and mortality. Secreted frizzled-related protein 4 (SFRP4) plays a critical role in diabetic myocardial ischemia-reperfusion. This paper aims to uncover the underlying mechanisms of SFRP4 in hypoxia/reoxygenation (H/R) injury of diabetic myocardial cells. An in vitro ischemia/reperfusion (I/R) injury model was established using high glucose-induced H9c2 cardiomyocytes. Expression of SFRP4 was detected by real-time reverse transcriptase-polymerase chain reaction and Western blotting. After transfection of SFRP4, the binding of SFRP4 to protein tyrosine phosphatase nonreceptor type 12 (PTPN12) was predicted by database and verified by co-immunoprecipitation assay. P13 K/AKT protein levels were examined by Western blotting. PTPN12 levels were tested by RT-qPCR and Western blotting, cell viability by Cell Counting Kit-8, lactose dehydrogenase kit, terminal dUTP nick-end labeling assay, and cell inflammation and oxidative stress by Western blotting and enzyme linked immunosorbent assay. After overexpression of PTPN12, the experiments for cell viability, inflammation and oxidative stress were repeated once more. SFRP4 expression was upregulated in a high-glucose-stimulated H/R cardiomyocyte model. The interference of SFRP4 promoted cell viability, inhibited the inflammatory and oxidative stress response of H/R cardiomyocytes induced by high glucose. SFRP4 interacted with PTPN12 and inhibited the PI3K/AKT signaling pathway. PTPN12 overexpression reversed the inhibitory effect of sh-SFRP4 on H/R cardiomyocyte damage induced by high glucose. Downregulation of SFRP4 inhibited H/R cell damage in diabetic cardiomyocytes by binding to PTPN12.

description: The composition of ginseng oolong a widely used tea product was investigated. A new sweet-tasting cycloartane-type saponin 3β-O-[β-D-glucuronopyranosyl(1→2)]-β-D-6-acetylglucopyranosyl)-(20S,22S)-3β,22-dihydroxy-9,19-cyclolanost-24-en-26,29-oic acid (9), along with five new compounds, was identified in the methanolic extract of the ginseng oolong tea. Structural elucidation was conducted by spectroscopic methods, including 1D- and 2D-NMR, HR-MS, HPLC-LITMS/MS. It was shown that these compounds have different sugar chains connected to the abrusogenin molecule. Then saponin profiles of four commercially available ginseng oolong samples and Abrus precatorius L. leaves were compared and the presence of three known abrusosides and six new acetyl and malonyl abrusogenin derivatives was proved. The original ginsenosides were not detected in the extract, therefore, abrusosides could serve as a replacement responsible for the sweet taste of the tea.

description: Assessment of gullies is essential in understanding the effects soil erosion has on resource management, urban planning, agricultural productivity and local environmental conditions. Commonly, prediction of gully head cut retreat has been disregarded due to the inherent complexities; this study proposes a method of analysing data to interpret potential pathways of Gully retreat. Through the implementation of electrical geophysics (Electrical Resistivity Imaging & Frequency Domain Electromagnetics) surveys positioned uphill of existing gullies shallow conductor's representative of Longitudinal preferential pathways (LPP) will be detected. ERI results detected conductors uphill of the head cut at varying distances showing resistivity values of 1 - 4 0 Ωm; these identified anomalous zones were confidently linked to form an LPP. Integrated geophysical datasets were generated allowing for interpreted traces of LPP to be drawn which are representative of the future pathway of head cut retreat. Through comparing currently existing gully assessment techniques it is suggested that a combination of geophysical prediction of LPP and LiDAR data is necessary for a complete understanding of existing gullies. Based on the results of this integration, informed and targeted management decisions can be developed to remediate current landforms and mitigate future gullying.

description: We present a 30h integration Very Large Telescope X-shooter spectrum of the Lyman series forest towards the $z = 7.084$ quasar ULAS J1120+0641. The only detected transmission at ${\rm S/N}>5$ is confined to seven narrow spikes in the Ly$α$ forest, over the redshift range $5.858 5.5$. The data nevertheless provide only a weak limit on the volume-weighted hydrogen intergalactic (IGM) neutral fraction at $z\sim 6.5$, $x_{\rm HI} > 10^{-4}$, similar to limits at redshift $z\sim6$ from less distant quasars. The new observations cannot extend measurements of the neutral fraction of the IGM to higher values because absorption in the Ly$α$ forest is already saturated near $z\sim6$. For higher neutral fractions, other methods such as measuring the red damping wing of the IGM will be required.

description: Circular RNA circ_0000285 is differentially expressed in several malignancies; however, its role in gliomas is under investigation. Reverse transcription quantitative polymerase chain reaction was conducted to evaluate the expression of circ_0000285, miR-197-3p, and CDC28 protein kinase regulatory subunit 1B (CKS1B) in glioma tissues and cells. Cell Counting Kit-8 and Transwell invasion assays coupled with Western blotting analysis using anti-Bax and anti-Bcl-2 antibodies were performed to evaluate cell proliferation, invasion, and apoptosis. Luciferase reporter and AGO2 RNA immunoprecipitation assays were conducted to verify the interaction between miR-197-3p and circ_0000285 or CKS1B. Xenograft tumor growth was evaluated in mice. We noted that circ_0000285 was highly expressed in glioma tissues and cells and that circ_0000285-silencing retarded tumor growth both in vitro and in vivo. This effect was mediated by the binding of circ_0000285 to miR-197-3p, which silenced CKS1B, an essential driver of glioma cell proliferation and invasion. Thus, circ_0000285 boosted glioma progression by regulating the miR-197-3p/CKS1B axis, highlighting a novel competing endogenous RNA circuit of glioma progression.

description: IntroductionIntegrated knowledge translation (IKT) is a knowledge translation framework that focuses collaboration between researchers and knowledge users (KUs) to generate research findings. KUs can be policymakers, clinicians, or those with lived experience who partner with researchers. While advocated as an approach that democratizes research and reduces power imbalance between researchers and KUs, it is not known if the implementation of IKT by health researchers actively addresses power imbalances. The aim of this study was to review research using an integrated knowledge translation approach to explore how power is addressed within these research studies. By looking broadly at how the studies addressed/described/discussed/dismantled power we explored examples of when this was done well and not so well, exposing the assumptions sometimes made by researchers.MethodsWe drew from systematic review procedures combined with a modified critical discourse analysis (CDA) lens. We searched Medline, PsycINFO, CINAHL, Scopus, Social Science Database, SocIndex and Google Scholar for English language studies that focused on IKT and power. Data were extracted on study characteristics and a modified CDA which included questions in relation to power (e.g., description of power, phrases used to describe power, evidence of power dynamics, strategies for addressing power imbalances) and end user engagement (e.g., Did they ask KUs how they wanted to be involved? Did they engage in reflection with KUs? Did they discuss dissemination strategies with KUs).ResultsEleven studies were eligible after screening 381 titles and reviewing 40 full-text studies. The use of IKT to address power varied significantly, revealing both positive examples as well as some missed opportunities to address power imbalances from study inception to dissemination.ConclusionRevisiting the use of IKT to examine how power is defined, shared, and managed in relationships with KUs could provide valuable insights. Using a CDA framework to explore these dynamics would indeed address the nuances of power in research contexts. Future research should focus on developing strategies to effectively implement IKT to address power imbalances, leading to research that has a better chance of being useful, usable and used in practice.

description: Cultivation of drought-tolerant (DT) maize seed reduces drought risk in sub-Saharan Africa. Data from eastern Uganda reveal gender gaps in awareness and adoption of DT maize. Among surveyed male household heads, 67.6 percent had awareness of DT maize varieties and 29.2 percent grew them. Corresponding gures for female household heads were 43.3 percent (awareness) and 5.3 percent (adoption) and those for wives in spousal couple households were 51.0 percent and 11.1 percent. Propensity score matching (PSM) found that awareness of the technology has a decisive role in DT maize adoption. Regression analysis indicated that education exerts the greatest in uence on agricultural technology awareness for female household heads, while social networks matter most for wives of male household heads. Policies leading to gender equity in access to education and agricultural information resources would give women farmers similar awareness of DT maize seed as men farmers and reduce the gender technology gap.
Remote sensing of water temperature using Raman spectroscopy

Publisher: name: Macquarie University
Year: 2022
Subjects: Other education not elsewhere classified

description: The measurement of water temperature, both at and below the surface in bodies of water, is of great importance for research fields including climate change, marine biology, hydrologic modelling and marine engineering. While sea surface temperature can be obtained with passive satellite sensing, sub–surface measurements are limited to suspended arrays of detectors, expendable probes and autonomous vehicles. None of these methods are compatible with rapid systematic mapping of sub–surface water temperature. The aim of the research presented in this thesis is to develop methods for rapid, depth–resolved remote sensing of water temperature using Raman spectroscopy, and to explore the potential to incorporate measurement of salinity. An optical, depth–resolved temperature sensing solution would provide a capability for rapid, three–dimensional sub–surface measurement (tens of metres) within bodies of water from airborne, surface or sub–surface platforms. Raman scattered light from vibrational transitions of water have temperature dependent properties which may be exploited for temperature determination. In order to achieve these goals, a detailed laboratory study of the polarisedand unpolarised Raman spectra of water was conducted. This identified spectral features and measurement parameters which gave the greatest temperature determination accuracy. Multiple linear regression was employed to combine these parameters in models for determination of water temperature. An assessment was made of the temperature accuracy which might be expected for practical sensing using these parameters. Raman spectra of samples from natural water sources were analysed to assess the effect of water constitution on temperature determination accuracy and the application of baseline correction to improve this. The effect of changing both temperature and salinity on Raman spectra was examined using multivariate analysis, and the potential measurement accuracy of both quantities was determined. Configurations for simple multi–channel sensing instruments were designed based on the Raman temperature and salinity determination methods investigated, and these will be evaluated in future field studies.

Detection of GeV Gamma-rays from HESS J1534-571 and Multiwavelength Implications for the Origin of the Non-thermal Emission

Subjects: subject: High Energy Astrophysical Phenomena (astro-ph.HE)

description: HESS J1534-571 is a very high energy gamma-ray source that was discovered by the H.E.S.S. observatory and reported as one of several new sources with a shell-like morphology at TeV energies, matching in size and location with the supernova remnant G323.7-1.0 discovered in radio observations by the Molonglo Galactic Plane Survey. Many known TeV shells also show X-ray emission, however, no X-ray counterpart has been seen for HESS J1534-571. The detection of a new GeV source using data from the \emph{Fermi} satellite that is compatible in extension with the radio supernova remnant and shows a very hard power-law spectrum ($\frac{dN}{dE} \propto E^{-1.35}$) is presented here, together with the first broadband modeling of the nonthermal emission from this source. It is shown that leptonic emission is compatible with the known multiwavelength data and a corresponding set of physical source parameters is given. The required total energy budget in leptons is reasonable, $\sim 1.5\times10^{48}$ erg for a distance to the object of $5$ kpc. The new GeV observations imply that a hadronic scenario, on the other hand, requires a cosmic ray spectrum that deviates considerably from theoretical expectations of particle acceleration.

description: As the trend of neutron guide designs points towards longer and more complex guides, imperfections such as waviness becomes increasingly important. Simulations of guide waviness has so far been limited by a lack of reasonable waviness models. We here present a stochastic description of waviness and its implementation in the McStas simulation package. The effect of this new implementation is compared to the guide simulations without waviness and the simple, yet unphysical, waviness model implemented in McStas 1.12c and 2.0.

description: The diseases vectored by mosquitoes continue to be a main cause of illnesses and death throughout the world. The methanol extract of Juglans regia male flower was screened for larvicidal activity against three therapeutically important mosquito vectors viz., malarial vector, Anopheles stephensi; dengue vector, Aedes aegypti and the filarial vector, Culex quinquefasciatus. The larvicidal activity was assayed against the early fourth-instar larvae of tested mosquito species at a concentration ranging from 12.5 to 200 ppm under laboratory conditions. The methanol extract recorded significant mortality against the early fourth-instar larvae of the tested species. After 12 and 24 h of exposure period, the highest effect was recorded in An. stephensi with LC50 values of 139.87 and 59.80 ppm and LC90 values of 288.96 and 166.73 ppm, respectively, followed by Ae. aegypti and Cx. quinquefasciatus. The results could be useful in search for newer, safer and more effective natural larvicidal agents.

description: Seasonal migration of men is a global trend, with the women left on the family farms with the responsibility of managing their household and smallholder farm plots. This paper argues that the patriarchal process and government policies prevent women to maximize the productivity of the marginal plots of land they manage in the absence of their menfolk. It is the patriarchal nature of local social structures and agrarian services, such as extension and infrastructure such as water supply, which has led to the alienation of women farmers from mainstream agricultural services. The result is that they are not able to take full advantage of the productivity of their small plots of land and market any surplus. This paper concludes that there should be more targeted policies for women in agriculture.

description: The association between spinal cord injury (SCI) and bladder symptoms has been intensively described. Human umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cell (hUC-MSC) treatment is beneficial to the recovery of bladder function after SCI, but its mechanism is unclear. We established an SCI model, and prepared hUC-MSCs in advance, followed by verification using flow cytometry. The Basso, Beattie and Bresnahan (BBB) score and urodynamic index were employed to evaluate motor function and bladder functions, respectively. Hematoxylin–eosin staining, luxol fast blue staining, and Masson’s trichrome staining were utilized to assess pathological changes. Real-time quantitative PCR and Western blot were used to determine the mRNA and protein expressions in bladder tissues. The immunophenotypes of the HUC-MSCs were CD90+ and CD105+, but CD34−, CD45− and HLA-DR−. Rats appeared severe motor dysfunction after SCI, but the BBB score was increased in hUC-MSCs after the second week. Pathologically, the improvement of the lesion area on the dorsal spinal cord, augmented anterior gray horn neuron cells of the spinal cord and lessened bladder tissue remodeling (fibrosis, collagen deposition) as well as modulated inflammation could be observed. Besides, SCI increased bladder weight, bladder capacity, urine volume and residual urine volume, and decreased urination efficiency. HUC-MSCs ameliorated SCI-induced pathological changes and bladder functions, the expressions of Collagen I, Collagen III, fibroblast growth factor 2 (FGF2), phospho-p38, transient receptor potential vanilloid 1, Toll-like receptor 4 and phospho-nuclear factor-kappa B (p-NF-κB). To sum up, HUC-MSCs contribute to the reconstruction of bladder function after SCI by repressing p38 MAPK/NF-κB pathway.

description: We present STAR measurements of the charge-dependent three-particle correlator $γ^{a,b}=\langle \cos(ϕ_1^{a}+ϕ_2^{b}-2ϕ_3)\rangle/v_{2}\{2\}$ and elliptic flow $v_{2}\{2\}$ in U+U, Au+Au and p+Au collisions at RHIC. The difference $Δγ= γ(\rm{opposite\!-\!sign})\!-\!γ(\rm{same\!-\!sign})$ measures charge separation across the reaction plane, a predicted signal of the Chiral Magnetic Effect (CME). Although charge separation has been observed, it has been argued that the measured separation can also be explained by elliptic flow related backgrounds. In order to separate the two effects, we perform measurements of the $γ$-correlator where background expectations differ from magnetic field driven effects. A differential measurement of $γ$ with the relative pseudorapidity ($Δη$) between the first and second particles indicate that $Δγ$ in peripheral A+A and p+A collisions are dominated by short-range correlations in $Δη$. However, a relatively wider component of the correlation in $Δη$ tends to vanish the same way as projected magnetic field as predicted by MC-Glauber simulations.

Management and communication of corporate social responsibility in Hong Kong small and medium enterprises

description: The discussion of corporate social responsibility (CSR) has gathered great momentum in business and society over recent decades. CSR is broadly defined as the responsibilities and ethical behaviour of businesses in balancing the diverse interests of different stakeholders, taking into consideration the economic, social and environmental dimensions of conducting business. The ideology of CSR is to build a just, fairer and better world. This, in turn, is expected to create a favourable operating environment for business, resulting in sustainable development for all concerned, including future generations. The extensive CSR theories, guidelines and tools developed by academics, institutions and practitioners focus mainly on large companies, with a consequent lack of attention to, and discussion of, CSR in relation to small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs). Due to the increasing significance of SMEs, which now account for some 90% of the number of enterprises in most economies around the world, the CSR movement will not be complete without the active engagement of SMEs. There is an urgent need to build SME capacity in CSR and to build best practice cases. In particular, few studies have investigated how SMEs in Hong Kong interpret, manage and communicate CSR. Consequently, the present research is motivated by the need to reduce this distinct knowledge gap, and aims to develop an integrated CSR management and communication model for SMEs. Adopting a qualitative research methodology, this study investigates how SMEs interpret, manage and communicate CSR, through conducting in-depth interviews with 28 business owners or senior managers of CSR award-winning companies in Hong Kong. Based on the findings, and drawing on the academic literature, further knowledge of CSR practices of SMEs in Hong Kong is advanced as the basis for developing an integrated “CSR Best Practice Management and Communication Model for SMEs”. The outcomes of this research confirm some of the contributions of the international literature on CSR in SMEs, but also reveal a number of interesting new findings, potentially beneficial for the Hong Kong context but possibly also more broadly, to both academics and practitioners. This study contributes to the body of knowledge of best practice of CSR in SMEs, potentially leading to greater SME engagement in CSR and sustainable development for both the business sector and broader society.

description: The class of Double Period Variables (DPVs) consists of close interacting binaries, with a characteristic long period that is an order of magnitude longer than the corresponding orbital period, many of them with a characteristic ratio of about 3.5x10^1. We consider here the possibility that the accretion flow is modulated as a result of a magnetic dynamo cycle. Due to the short binary separations, we expect the rotation of the donor star to be synchronized with the rotation of the binary due to tidal locking. We here present a model to estimate the dynamo number and the resulting relation between the activity cycle length and the orbital period, as well as an estimate for the modulation of the mass transfer rate. The latter is based on Applegate's scenario, implying cyclic changes in the radius of the donor star and thus in the mass transfer rate as a result of magnetic activity. Our model is applied to a sample of 17 systems with known physical parameters, 10 also with known orbital periods. In spite of the uncertainties of our simplified framework, the results show a reasonable agreement, indicating that a dynamo interpretation is potentially feasible. At the same time, we note that the orbital period variations resulting from Applegate's model are sufficiently small to be consistent with the data. We conclude that both larger samples with known physical parameters as well as potential direct probes of the magnetism of the donor star, including cold spots as well as polarization, will be valuable to further constrain the nature of these systems.

description: A new pyrrolidinone derivative named nigrosporamide A (1), and a new acetophenone derivative, 4-prenyloxyclavatol (2), were isolated from an endophytic fungus Nigrospora sphaerica (collection No. ZMT05) isolated from Oxya chinensis Thunberg. Their chemical structures were established on the basis of the interpretation of spectroscopic data. In primary in vitro bioassay, nigrosporamide A (1) exhibited strong antifungal activity against Colletotrichum gloeosporioides and high inhibitory activity towards α-glucosidase.

description: This article addresses the economic and social impacts for women growing cotton through the interrelated dimensions of resource, agency and achievements in women's empowerment. Women's growing cotton is explained by analyzing their characteristics and those of their husbands and of the other women, in the per- spective of intra household negotiations and in the specic context and recent history of cotton production. Our study found a noticeable share of 20 percent of farms where women and their husbands simultaneously earned cotton income and where women spent less time in the elds while enjoying better decision-making power. This new status of income generation and role sharing within households is a win-win situation, ben- etting from a change in social norms which required an extra-household chock, a period of cotton sector uncertainty in an exacerbated monetization context. As monetization keeps on prevailing in all African coun- tries, it should favor further women's empowerment.
