description: Background: The University Institute of Health Sciences (IUCS) - CESPU houses the XXI CEIC - XXI Century Identified Skeletal Collection; it holds over a hundred human remains undergoing or awaiting full processing – cleaning, documentation, and proper storage. All data are documented in printed templates during processing, including information on osteological material presence, absence, preservation status, measurements, and biological profile estimations [1]. The absence of a well-structured digital repository hinders interested parties from fully leveraging the collection's pedagogical/scientific potential. Objective: The aim of this work is to build a web catalogue for the XXI CEIC, allowing students, professors, and experts in related fields easy access to data and tools suitable for their purposes [2]. Methods: A review of other online osteological collections in Portugal or abroad was conducted. We extracted all data fields to be included from existing records and templates and structured them in a relational database for easy querying in SQL. Extensive user interface models/mockups were created, considering functionality and appearance, with support images/icons generated by artificial intelligence, hand-drawn, or open source. The collection will be available at https://ceic.iucs.cespu.pt, with access permissions pending Ethics Committee review. Results: In Europe, there are 151 osteological collections, 43 being contemporary [3]. Portugal, alongside the XXI CEIC, holds 9 of these, for which no web databases were found [1]. In the United States of America, among 288 catalogued forensic databases, only four comprised human osteological remains [4]. Our web catalogue will feature anonymous personal information, such as dates and places of exhumation; bone condition description (presence/absence); cranial measurements; data required for determining the preservation state, and biological profile estimation with associated calculation tools. Conclusions: The XXI CEIC aims to be a research and pedagogical tool in Health and Forensic Sciences, and a web platform to interact with it will be key to reaching its full potential.

description: No abstracts are to be cited without prior reference to the author.Movement patterns were studied by means of hydroacustic telemetry along the Norwegian Skagerrak coast. Ultrasonic transmitters was surgically implanted in 10 coastal cod, and released in the same area as they where caught. Their swimming behavior was continuously recorded for 45 days by means of a stationary positioning system. For another 128 days after the initial 45 days, they where tracked using a handheld hydrophone. During the study period three fish left the area after 40-50 days, three moved 2-6 km away from the releasing site, and the remaining four stayed within the area (<2 km from releasing point.) This may indicate a low rate of ranging for cod in this area, and a high degree of fidelity to their area of residency.

description: The effect of film thickness on magnetic properties of Cu80Co20 granular alloy was studied. It was observed that the susceptibility peak temperature, TM, strongly increases with the film thickness, t, for t<100 nm. The long-range nature of this effect points to magnetic dipole interaction as responsible mechanism. This dependence of TM can be explained within the framework of Dormann's theory of dipolar interaction between magnetic particles. The coercive field has different thickness dependence and it is related to formation of magnetic domain structure of Co particles in the granular alloy.

Publisher: name: Scientific Letters
Year: 2024

description: Nature is a source of inspiration for science and technology, generating several solutions that foster biotechnology and bioengineering, namely through new and personalized tools in Health, as well as new tools for Bioeconomy. We take inspiration from dynamic molecular recognition events in Nature to engineer biological and chemical tools that give rise to advanced functional materials. The first topic will address nature-inspired ligands for reversible binding to target molecules, based on the underlying principle of atom economy. While a variety of applications can be foreseen for such systems, we will focus on contributions in biomanufacturing. Rationally designed chemical combinatorial libraries support the development of robust peptidomimetics that can be easily adapted to several targets and to chromatographic and non-chromatographic matrices. The second topic will focus on the biotechnological production of biodegradable materials, and on their application, namely in the field of artificial olfaction. Together with in-house developed electronic noses and machine learning algorithms, such materials are tuned to mimic the sense of smell and used for biosensing purposes.

subject: FOS: Earth and related environmental sciences

description: Glaciological processes are modeled to investigate precipitation patterns and the resulting mass flux of snow and ice across Himalayan topography. Our model tracks the accumulation and ablation of snow and ice and the transport of snow and ice across the topography by glacier motion. We investigate high elevation precipitation on the Annapurna Massif by comparing the existing ice cover with model-simulated glaciers produced by a suite of different precipitation scenarios. Our results suggest that precipitation reaches a maximum level well below the elevation of the highest peaks. Further, essentially no snow accumulates on the topography above an elevation of 6200-6300 m. Hence, the upper 1000+ m of the massif is a high elevation desert with little flux of snow and ice. Active glaciers are limited to a band of intermediate elevations where a maximum of about 60% of the landscape is covered by moving ice.

description: No abstracts are to be cited without prior reference to the author.The “Adaptive Management Programme” (AMP) approach was introduced into New Zealand’s fisheries management decision making in 1991. The AMP allows a variation in the TAC for fisheries management units (defined as fishstocks) for which there is limited information on stock size. It also addresses a number of other problems associated with current fisheries management systems. AMP proposals are assessed against 3 sets of criteria—fishery assessment, monitoring, and decision rules. Fishery assessment criteria require the estimated current stock status to be at or above a certain level. Monitoring criteria specify what monitoring and fishery assessment programmes must be undertaken. Decision rule criteria specify what management actions must be taken in response to information gathered. A case study of the application of the AMP approach is given for orange roughy harvested in the northeast part of the North Island (Fishstock ORH 1). The ORH 1 AMP commenced in 1995 for a period of 5 years with the following outcomes: (1) the TAC for ORH 1 was increased from 190 to 1190 tonnes in 1995; (2) additional trawl surveys were carried out; (3) the decision rule was applied to the biomass estimates from the surveys and used to determine whether the TAC was to be increased, maintained, or reduced; and (4) the biomass estimate from the 2000 trawl survey resulted in the decision rule being “triggered”, and the TAC was reduced to 800 tonnes. The AMP is considered successful for reasons including: (1) industry designed and funded the monitoring programme and analysed results to government standards; (2) decision rules were agreed prior to the programme—and were implemented; (3) all stakeholders had opportunity to participate in important aspects of the AMP; (4) new information was obtained which improves the TAC-setting process for the Fishstock.

description: Introduction: The chronic inflammatory skin disease Hidradenitis suppurativa (HS) is strongly associated with Crohn’s Disease (CD). HS and CD share clinical similarities and similar inflammatory pathways are upregulated in both conditions. Increased prevalence of inflammatory disease in industrialised nations has been linked to the Western diet. However, gut microbiota composition and diet interaction have not been compared in HS and CD.Methods: Here we compared the fecal microbiota (16S rRNA gene amplicon sequencing) and habitual diet of previously reported subjects with HS (n  =  55), patients with CD (n  =  102) and controls (n  =  95).Results and discussion: Patients with HS consumed a Western diet similar to patients with CD. Meanwhile, habitual diet in HS and CD was significantly different to controls. Previously, we detected differences in microbiota composition among patients with HS from that of controls. We now show that 40% of patients with HS had a microbiota configuration similar to that of CD, characterised by the enrichment of pathogenic genera (Enterococcus, Veillonella and Escherichia_Shigella) and the depletion of putatively beneficial genera (Faecalibacterium). The remaining 60% of patients with HS harboured a normal microbiota similar to that of controls. Antibiotics, which are commonly used to treat HS, were identified as a co-varying with differences in microbiota composition. We examined the levels of several inflammatory markers highlighting that growth-arrest specific 6 (Gas6), which has anti-inflammatory potential, were significantly lower in the 40% of patients with HS who had a CD microbiota configuration. Levels of the pro?inflammatory cytokine IL-12, which is a modulator of intestinal inflammation in CD, were negatively correlated with the abundance of health-associated genera in patients with HS. In conclusion, the fecal microbiota may help identify patients with HS who are at greater risk for development of CD.

description: No abstracts are to be cited without prior reference to the author.Increased miniaturisation and recording capacity of electronic data storage tags(DST), and advances in methods applied to the interpretation of DST data now allow accurate and fisheries-independent description of the seasonal changes in spatial distribution of commercially exploited demersal fish species. Here we present the results from experiments conducted between December 1993 and September 1999, during which we released 752 mature female plaice tagged with DST throughout the North Sea. Tidal data recorded by returned DST have so far been used to reconstruct the movements of 145 free-ranging plaice for periods of up to 512 days, with a total behavioural record amounting to 20 403 days of data.

description: Greater understanding of variations in firn densification is needed to distinguish between dynamic and melt-driven elevation changes on the Greenland ice sheet. This is especially true in Greenland's percolation zone, where firn density profiles are poorly documented because few ice cores are extracted in regions with surface melt. We used georadar to investigate firn density variations with depth along a similar to 70 km transect through a portion of the accumulation area in western Greenland that partially melts. We estimated electromagnetic wave velocity by inverting reflection traveltimes picked from common midpoint gathers. We followed a procedure designed to find the simplest velocity versus depth model that describes the data within estimated uncertainty. On the basis of the velocities, we estimated 13 depth-density profiles of the upper 80 m using a petrophysical model based on the complex refractive index method equation. At the highest elevation site, our density profile is consistent with nearby core data acquired in the same year. Our profiles at the six highest elevation sites match an empirically based densification model for dry firn, indicating relatively minor amounts of water infiltration and densification by melt and refreeze in this higher region of the percolation zone. At the four lowest elevation sites our profiles reach ice densities at substantially shallower depths, implying considerable meltwater infiltration and ice layer development in this lower region of the percolation zone. The separation between these two regions is 8 km and spans 60 m of elevation, which suggests that the balance between dry-firn and melt-induced densification processes is sensitive to minor changes in melt.

description: The Industrial Workers of the World is an international labor organization formed in Chicago in June of 1905 and aimed to transform the structure of global capitalism. The IWW, or Wobblies as they were known, became famous for their strikes, free-speech movements, and anti-war protests (as well as their songs, literature, and working-class art) during World War I throughout North America and many other industrialized nations. They were well known for cynicism and mockery of capitalism, politicians, law enforcement, and the justice system in general. These protests were performative acts or displays that generated immediate and long-term responses from their audiences. The IWW and their performative acts of protests were transnational in that they often crossed national boundaries and that nations and businesses created some of these transnational movements through deportations and the labor market.
description: I argue that IWW performances challenged structures of class, race, gender, and sexual binaries, as well as Victorian-era standards of respectability. This allowed members of traditionally disadvantaged groups to perform outside of the established norms of the day. The IWW included women and people of color and allowed them to participate on equal terms. Therefore, these performances not only challenged the political and economic system but also the established norms of patriarchy and white supremacy. The IWW was also an early advocate to normalize Queer sexual identities that were highly criminalized by the social and political structures of the nation-state. They advocated for working-class reforms that would benefit the masses of working people and these minority populations. This study also explores the bodily performances of fashion and tattoos among members of the IWW and how they were used to challenge norms of respectability in the working class. These performances reveal a great deal about the global and working-class connections of the IWW.

description: Background: Platelets not only play a pivotal role in haemostasis and are critical mediators of thrombosis, but also intervene during infection and inflammation, promoting leukocyte modulation, angiogenesis, and fibroblast proliferation [1,2]. Platelets response is very heterogeneous, with hyper-reactive platelets exhibiting a more procoagulant activity, releasing microparticles and amplifying proinflammatory states [3]. Genetically, platelets are highly polymorphic [3], being an important aspect to investigate the mechanisms underlying platelets hyper-responsiveness as well as their potential for predict the adverse/benefit effects associated with antiplatelet therapies. Objective: To investigate the functional relevance of platelet polymorphisms related to platelet reactivity analysing multiple parameters of platelet activation (PA). Methods: Genotypes and allele frequencies of platelet polymorphisms (PP) PlA and HPA-2 were determined in 49 normal individuals from the North of Portugal. To characterize PA profile in basal conditions and in response to physiological agonists, we have applied aggregometry and flow cytometry to assess a panel of biochemical markers including calcium mobilization, pro-coagulant activity, GPIIbIIIa activated and P-selectin expression, and platelet-leukocyte interactions. Results: The obtained allelic frequencies for PlA and HPA-2 polymorphisms do not differ from those found in Caucasian populations. Our results are consistent with the idea that the presence of HPA-2b allele of GPIba is related with a higher basal PA and hyper-reactivity. Presence of PlA2 allele of GPIIIa also seems to be related with a platelet hyperactivity profile. Conclusions: PP as genetic risk factors for thrombosis must be carefully addressed, however our data support that PlA and HPA-2 variants are relevant in variability of platelet responsiveness, namely via ADP, and thus, playing a role in thrombogenesis. A comprehensive insight into these intricate biological processes, need large genetic and epidemiological studies but, understanding the functional role of PP may give us tools to develop and apply inter-individually based therapeutic strategies in antiplatelet therapy schedules.

description: Part I of this study describes the mesoscale structure of a dryline over southeastern Wyoming. This dryline formed just east of the western rim of the high plains on 22 June 2010 and became more defined as it progressed eastward during the afternoon. Part I also describes the numerically simulated structure and evolution of this dryline and the observed initiation of deep convection in the vicinity of the dryline. An instrumented aircraft, the University of Wyoming King Air, repeatedly flew across this dryline, mostly low enough to penetrate the moist-air wedge east of the dryline. Flight-level in situ data along these low-level penetrations indicate relatively high values of convective available potential energy (CAPE; >1500 J kg-1), yet low convective inhibition, within a few kilometers of the dryline. Water vapor transects obtained from a compact nadir-pointing Raman lidar aboard the aircraft reveal an extremely sharp humidity gradient below flight level along the dryline, coinciding with the fineline seen in operational weather radar base reflectivity imagery. They also reveal several plumes of higher specific humidity within the dry elevated mixed layer above the moistair wedge, possibly precursors of cumulus clouds. The vertical structure of the dryline revealed by Raman lidar and the flight-level data correspond well to that in the high-resolution numerical simulation.

description: Compared with conventional topological insulator that carries topological state at its boundaries, the higher-order topological insulator exhibits lower-dimensional gapless boundary states at its corners and hinges. Leveraging the form similarity between Schrodinger equation and diffusion equation, researches on higher-order topological insulators have been extended from condensed matter physics to thermal diffusion. Unfortunately, all the corner states of thermal higher-order topological insulator reside within the band gap. Another kind of corner state, which is embedded in the bulk states, has not been realized in pure diffusion systems so far. Here, we construct higher-dimensional Su-Schrieffer-Heeger models based on sphere-rod structure to elucidate these corner states, which we term ``in-bulk corner states". Due to the anti-Hermitian properties of diffusive Hamiltonian, we investigate the thermal behaviour of these corner states through theoretical calculation, simulation, and experiment. Furthermore, we study the different thermal behaviours of in-bulk corner state and in-gap corner state. Our results would open a different gate for diffusive topological states and provide a distinct application for efficient heat dissipation.

description: Background: Intestinal barrier is an important structure that defends and maintains the homeostasis of the host. [1-3]. It is highly influenced by food due to the interaction between nutrients and gut microbiota [2]. A diet rich in sugar can disrupt gut homeostasis, leading to a dysfunctional barrier and causing chronic diseases [3]. The enterochromaffin cells (ECs) are dispersed throughout the intestine wall, playing a role in the regulations of barrier function, responding to changes in intestinal microenvironment [1]. Objective: This study aims to evaluate the effect of a high-sugar diet on intestinal morphology, specifically on the histology and the expression of ECs. Methods: Male Wistar rats aged between 21-23 postnatal days were divided into two groups: a control group that drank water, and a high-sugar (HS) diet group that drank a 30% sucrose solution. All animals were fed standard rat chow. 
Tissue samples from the duodenum, jejunum, and colon, were cut 5 µm thick and stained with Hematoxylin-eosin (HE) to evaluate the integrity of the structure of the intestinal walls, and with Fontana-Masson (FM) staining the identification of ECs. Results: Qualitative results were obtained from tissue sections of control and HS-diet groups. Regarding the duodenum and jejunum, there is an accumulation of lipid droplets in the mucosa of the rats with an HS diet. There was also infiltration of inflammatory cells in the HS-diet group [3]. In the colon, the HS-diet group showed a reduction in the size of the external muscular layer and fewer Lieberkühn glands, aligned with previous study [4]. The ECs were found dispersed in the colon tissue of HS-diet group, while they were less stained in the control group. Conclusions: This study showed that high sugar liquid diet induced some morphological alterations in the small intestine and the colon, but no differences were observed in the ECs in colon.

description: In this paper we investigate some general aspects of fluctuation and dissipation in the holographic scenario at zero and finite density. We model this situation with a probe string in a diagonal metric representing a black brane. The string stretches from the black brane to a probe brane thus simulating a stochastic driven particle. In this scenario, we compute the admittance, the diffusion coefficient, the correlation functions and the regularized mean square displacement, for bosons and fermions, all from the metric components. We check these calculations with the fluctuation-dissipation theorem. Further, we show that at finite temperature and density, the mean square displacement in the limit of short times reproduces the usual quadratic (ballistic) behavior, for bosons and fermions. For large times, we find ultraslow diffusive processes in various cases, except for bosons at zero chemical potential. We apply this general analysis in two different models: hyperscaling violation at finite temperature and a charged dilatonic AdS black hole, both for bosons and fermions. This is important because we found the fermionic diffusion in systems which allow the appearance of Fermi surfaces and Fermi liquids.

description: Background: Appendix obstruction triggers inflammation and exaggerated immune responses, leading the omentum, rich in Milky Spots (MS) housing immune cells, to play a vital role in peritoneal immunity. These MS collect antigens and pathogens, inducing immune responses like inflammation, immune tolerance, or fibrosis [1,2]. Their activities, including angiogenesis, stem cell differentiation, and immune responses, are essential for wound healing and infection containment. However, these activities may also promote pathological responses like rapid tumor growth and metastasis [1,3]. Omental MS contribute to tissue homeostasis, aiding tissue repair through the regulation of leukocyte recruitment and activation by specialized stromal fibroblasts and mesothelial cells [1,3,4]. Objective: This study aims to semi-quantitatively evaluate leukocyte subpopulations and extracellular matrix composition in omentum samples from three acute appendicitis patients’ groups: Group I without peritoneal blockage, Group II with peritoneal blockage, and the control Group III. Methods: Histological omentum samples underwent staining techniques with H&E, Trichrome, Orcein, and Reticulin for optical microscopy analysis. Results: Observations revealed higher presence of polymorphonuclear cells and/or lymphocytes, increased fibrosis, and abundant extracellular matrix reticular fibers. The control group exhibited minimal polymorphonuclear cells, lymphocytes, or fibrosis, while groups I and II showed increased polymorphonuclear cells, lymphocytes, and reticular fibers. Collagen fibers demonstrated a similar trend, albeit at lower density, while elastic fibers were scarce. These findings indicate a consistent association among the patient groups: while the control group showed low leukocyte counts and minimal fibrosis, groups I and II, characterized by increased fibrosis, demonstrated elevated leukocyte numbers and a greater presence of reticular fibers. Conclusions: These findings align with literature, emphasizing the omentum’s crucial role in maintaining tissue homeostasis and supporting tissue repair through the regulation of leukocyte recruitment and activation by specialized fibroblastic stromal cells and mesothelial cells [3,4]. Further studies characterizing the omentum microenvironment are essential for identifying response predictive biomarkers.

description: Background: Severe periodontitis is considered the sixth most prevalent disease worldwide [1]. It is a chronic inflammatory condition affecting the tooth-supporting structures due to genetic, environmental, and microbial factors [2]. The host immune response partially contributes to the magnitude of the inflammatory process. Furthermore, this process involves a diversity of immunomediators that initiate and sustain the inflammatory response, ultimately contributing to bone destruction [3]. Classical clinical parameters are reliable measures convenient for diagnosing and monitoring periodontitis, but they are less predictable in relation to disease progression. The focus is to identify quantifiable biomarkers in saliva. Saliva is a fluid that reflects the oral cavity environment and the immune status associated with periodontitis [4]. Objective: Our objective is to evaluate the clinical relevance of multiple immunomediators involved in the inflammatory response of periodontitis and explore biomarkers to severity and progression. Methods: The study includes 68 patients, divided in 17 patients with periodontitis stage I/II, 29 patients with periodontitis stage III/IV and 22 healthy controls (HC). The research assesses an extensive array of cytokines tied to inflammation, analyzed in salivary fluid, and detected using a Legendplex-panel by flow cytometry. Results: A pro-inflammatory profile is observed in patients with severe disease (stage III/IV), characterized by elevated levels of IL-1β and IL-6 compared to HC (p=0.006; p=0.015). Instead, anti-inflammatory IL-10 is significant increase in periodontitis patients in stage III/IV compared to HC (p=0.013). The chemokine IP-10, important in orchestrating a proper inflammatory response, demonstrates a significant decrease in patients with periodontitis. Additionally, correlations between the inflammatory profile and the phenotype of periodontitis are observed, as characterized by clinical measurements. Conclusions: This study highlights that IL-1β and IL-6 are more effective in identifying disease stage than clinical grade profile. Alongside the presence of IL-10 underscores its potential as combined biomarkers.

description: The analysis of system reliability has often benefited from graphical tools such as fault trees and Bayesian networks. In this article, instead of conventional graphical tools, we apply a probabilistic graphical model called the chain event graph (CEG) to represent the failures and processes of deterioration of a system. The CEG is derived from an event tree and can flexibly represent the unfolding of asymmetric processes. For this application we need to define a new class of formal intervention we call remedial to model causal effects of remedial maintenance. This fixes the root causes of a failure and returns the status of the system to as good as new. We demonstrate that the semantics of the CEG are rich enough to express this novel type of intervention. Furthermore through the bespoke causal algebras the CEG provides a transparent framework with which guide and express the rationale behind predictive inferences about the effects of various different types of remedial intervention. A back-door theorem is adapted to apply to these interventions to help discover when a system is only partially observed.

description: Background: Gardnerella species have been associated with bacterial vaginosis but are also found in asymptomatic women [1]. Objective:Characterize Gardnerella urogenital isolates from asymptomatic women (HW) and women diagnosed with overactive bladder (OAB), to understand bacterial factors that may influence health outcomes. Methods: Gardnerella isolates (urine, n=5 HW, n=4 OAB) were subjected to WGS (Illumina). Virulence determinants searched included vaginolysin, a cytolysin specific to human erythrocytes, and sialidases, crucial in mucosal surface interactions. Antimicrobial resistance genes were predicted using ResFinder. Sialidase activity was confirmed using neuraminic acid fluorogenic substrate. Susceptibility to different antibiotics (benzylpenicillin, meropenem, clindamycin, metronidazole, and erythromycin) was determined by agar dilution method following EUCAST guidelines. Results: G. vaginalis, G. pickettii, G. leopoldii, and G. greenwoodii were identified. The presence of sialidases was variable among isolates: nanH2 was not detected, and nanH3 was detected in 3 isolates. Isolates with nanH3 displayed sialidase activity, with exception of one isolate, likely due to observed nucleotide sequence alterations. Different types of vaginolysin (vly) were detected in 8 isolates: type 1A was detected in G. vaginalis and G. greenwoodii; type 1B, associated with vaginal symptoms was detected in G. vaginalis, G. pickettii and G. greenwoodii; and type 2, associated with odour and discharge, was identified in G. leopoldii (HW and OAB). Genes previously associated with macrolides and lincosamides resistance were predicted in silico, but further analysis showed no functional operons or low homology with the reference gene. In general, MICs to the tested antibiotics were low, with exception of c18Ua_112-G. leopoldii with metronidazole MIC=8mg/L. Conclusions: Our findings underscore the complexity of Gardnerella’s role in urogenital health. The majority of low MIC observed support the effectiveness of commonly prescribed antibiotics against Gardnerella. Vaginolysin was prevalent, displaying diverse types associated with different clinical manifestations. Further exploration of host-microbe interactions is needed to decipher the mechanisms and clinical implications of these variations.
