China. • Yunnan Province, Puer City, Taiyanghe Provincial Nature Reserve, 22 ° 38 ' 24 ″ N, 101 ° 15 ' 13 ″ E, elev. 962 m, on twigs of unknown plants, July 2023, Wenyu Zeng & Xin Zhou, TYH 5-1 (GMB 4708; GMBC 4708).
Notes.
Phylogenetically, it is closely related to X. phyllocharis. However, X. phyllocharis differs in having stromata with a slight perithecial mound, smaller ascomata (100–250 μm in breadth), and smaller ascospores (9–12.5 × 4.5–7 μm) with a straight germ slit (Ju and Hsieh 2023). Morphologically, X. taiyangheensis and X. noduliformis show similar stromata, but the latter has smaller ascospores (9–11 × 5.5–7 µm) with a straight germ slit (Ju and Hsieh 2023). Moreover, X. noduliformis differs from the new collection by its host, and association with petioles.

An assessment of historical changes in aquatic biota, water and sediment quality within a catchment at a developing urban front
Creators: name: Pappas, Sheena Charmaine
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2008

description: Degradation of streams in urban-rural fringe regions occurs through complex interactions between hydrological, physical, chemical and biological mechanisms of the stream environment and surrounding landscape. Biological monitoring using macroinvertebrates may capture the complex and cumulative influences of land activity on the stream environment. The Salmon River catchment in the township of Langley, British Columbia, Canada straddles urban and rural environments in the Lower Fraser Valley. To date the Salmon River catchment has been subject to several environmental surveys. Following these earlier investigations, this study quantified relationships between the stream environment and changing land activity, across multiple scales, from 1975 to 2005, using macroinvertebrates as environmental integrators. Current and historical water, sediment, and macroinvertebrate information along with land use and land-cover evaluations were used to quantify relationships between the macroinvertebrate community and land activity in the catchment. Spatial and seasonal results for specific conductivity (a total dissolved ion indicator) and NO₃⁻-N and PO₄³ (nutrient indicators) traced groundwater and overland inputs to the stream environment. Nitrate guideline exceedances occurred at groundwater-influenced sites. Elevated sediment trace metal concentrations and Zn guideline exceedances occurred mid-reach in the catchment. Peak total macroinvertebrate and sensitive taxa abundance occurred mid-reach in the catchment in 2005, while richness and proportional sensitive abundance peaks were seen at groundwater-influenced sites. The dominance of tolerant to moderately pollution tolerant taxa occurred throughout. Despite historical water quality concerns at groundwater-influenced sites, greater shifts in community composition occurred in headwaters regions. Patterns of land use and land cover changed in sensitive areas (i.e. above aquifer and in the headwaters). A greater number of correlations between land activity and macroinvertebrate measures occurred at streams sites with 100 m buffers. The abundance of sensitive taxa positively correlated with the amount of agricultural land use, while rarefaction declined. Several Macroinvertebrate functional feeding groups correlated positively to forest cover, while sensitive taxa abundance and Zn concentrations declined. Results suggest continued water quality and sediment trace metal concerns, while macroinvertebrate results point to nutrient enrichment and greater historical variability in headwaters regions. Agricultural activity appears to have a stronger influence on aspects of the stream environment despite the presence of urban-rural land activity.

Myelin water measurement by magnetic resonance imaging in the healthy human spinal cord : reproducibility and changes with age
Creators: name: MacMillan, Erin Leigh
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2008

description: Multi-echo T2 relaxation measurements of the human spinal cord (SC) reveal a short T2 pool of water believed to arise from water trapped between myelin bilayers, where the proportion of this water to the total water signal is called the myelin water fraction (MWF). In the present study, MWF were measured in the healthy human cervical spine at the C4-C6 vertebral levels in vivo using a 3D modified 32 echo CPMG sequence to acquire axial slices perpendicular to the cord. Volunteers were recruited in two age ranges, under 30 years old and over 50 years old, and a subset of both groups were scanned twice to test reproducibility. Mean MWF in the dorsal and lateral column WM of the group under 30 years of age was 0.29 (0.01) (mean(SE)), which agrees with previously reported MWF values in the cervical spine. The mean absolute difference between two scans was 0.06 or 26%. A negative correlation between WM MWF and age was hinted at in these findings, however more subjects are required to improve statistical power. This study paves the way for the use of 3D myelin water imaging in the cervical spine at 3.0T for the assessment of SC WM pathology.

description: The discovery of novel plastic degrading enzymes commonly relies on comparing features of the primary sequence to those of known plastic degrading enzymes. However, this approach cannot always guarantee success. This is exemplified by the different degradation rates of the two polymers poly(ethylene terephthalate) (PET) and polybutylene succinate (PBS) by two hydrolases: IsPETase from Ideonella sakaiensis and AdCut from Acidovorax delafieldii. Despite the enzymes showing a very high sequence identity of 82%, IsPETase shows significant hydrolysis activity for both polymers, whereas AdCut only shows significant hydrolysis activity for PBS. By solving the structure of AdCut using X-ray crystallography, and using this as the basis for computer simulations, comparisons are made between the differences in the calculated binding geometries and the catalytic results obtained from biochemical experiments. The results reveal that the low activity of AdCut toward PET can be explained by the low sampling of the productive conformation observed in the simulations. While the active site serine in IsPETase can closely encounter the PET carbonyl carbon, in AdCut it cannot: a feature that can be attributed to the shape of the catalytic binding pocket. These results yield an important insight into the design requirements for novel plastic degrading enzymes, as well as showing that computational methods can be used as a valuable tool in understanding the molecular basis for different hydrolysis activities in homologous polyesterase enzymes.
The experience of community for seniors involved in community-engaged arts
Creators: name: Moody, Elaine Marie
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2008

description: Social isolation is a concern for the health of older adults in Canada. Community-engaged arts (CEA) programs are thought to support social inclusion but how such programs contribute to building community connections for older adults at risk of social isolation is poorly understood. This study, therefore, is aimed to explore the experience of community for this population in the context of a CEA program as well as the role the program plays in that experience. A qualitative study using ethnographic methods was conducted to answer two research questions: (1) What does community mean to seniors in the Arts, Health and Seniors program? (2) What is the role of the Arts, Health and Seniors program in the participants’ experience of community? Data were collected over a six week period using participant observation, semi-structured interviews and document analysis. The sample was a group of 20 urban-dwelling seniors at risk for social isolation who participated in a CEA program once a week. Regular group art sessions were observed by the researcher and extensive field notes were recorded. Interviews were conducted with five senior participants and four other key informants (including two artists, a senior worker, and an administrators), and documents related to the community were reviewed. Data were analyzed throughout the data collection process and interpretations were noted. Through immersion in the data and a movement between the data and interpretations, themes were developed. Connections between themes were explored and taken back to the data. Findings were presented as a detailed description of the participants’ experience of community. Community for the participants focused around the Seniors Centre where the program was held. The participants expressed that the meaningful relationships at the centre made it ‘another home’ and was a place they could find resources to adapt to challenges. The CEA program provided a unique experience of community through working together as a group and making new social connections. For health professionals working with older people at risk for social isolation, this research will add to the understanding of how community is experienced by older adults and how community is supported by CEA programs.

description: Functional cognition is relevant for athletic success and interdependent with physical exercise, yet despite repeatedly demonstrated inflammatory responses to physical training, there are no studies addressing the relationship between cognition and inflammation in athletes. The aim of this study was to investigate the relationship between cognitive performance and selected inflammatory, and further physiological biomarkers in elite athletes. Data from 350 elite athletes regarding cognitive performance (processing speed, selective attention, working memory, cognitive flexibility), systemic inflammatory markers, metabolic hormones, growth factors, tissue damage markers, and micronutrients (e.g., ferritin, 25-OH-vitamin D), as well as physiological, subjective ratings of recovery and stress were analysed by correlative and multiple regression analyses. Results show that across all athletes variance in processing speed, selective attention, and working memory, could be best explained through a combination of metabolic hormones with physiological and psychological indicators of stress, and in cognitive flexibility through vitamin D levels. Only for the subgroup of athletes from closed-skill sports, the ratio TNF-α:IL-10 significantly contributed to explanation of variance in working memory and cognitive flexibility. In general, found correlations point to the importance of inflammatory balance and sufficient long-term nutrient supply for unaffected cognitive performance.

description: Learning fractions is one of the most difficult but nevertheless critical mathematical topics in school as understanding fractions significantly predicts later mathematics achievement and vocational prospects. Importantly, mastery of basic mathematical topics (e.g., arithmetic skills) was repeatedly observed to serve as a stepping stone for learning fractions. However, it has not yet been investigated in detail whether achievements on such basic mathematical topics predict fraction understanding uniquely and linearly or whether there are also multiplicative and non-linear dependencies. Such multiplicative and/or non-linear dependencies would suggest that closing knowledge gaps on key topics is of paramount importance, as knowledge gaps on these topics could have negative consequences for the understanding of fractions. Therefore, we predicted students’ fraction understanding by their performance on four prior topics (i.e., Geometry, Basic Arithmetic, Measurement Units, and Advanced Arithmetic) and compared the fits of different regression models (including topics as main effects only vs. also including interaction and quadratic terms). Our analyses considered three cohorts of students (approximate age range: 12–13 years) attending different school tracks that vary in difficulty (i.e., 6468 students of academic track schools; as well as 4598 students, and 1743 students of two vocational track schools) who used an intelligent tutor system. Results were similar across all three cohorts substantiating the robustness of our results: students’ fraction understanding was linearly predicted by achievements in basic mathematical skills (i.e., arithmetic and measurement units). We found no substantial support favoring more complex models across all three cohorts. As such, the results suggested that achievements in arithmetic and measurement units serve as unique and linear stepping stones for later fraction understanding. These findings suggest that those students with knowledge gaps in arithmetic and measurement units should be encouraged to revise these topics before moving on to more advanced topics—such as fractions—as these more advanced topics build on them.

Partitioning of the response to cAMP via two specific Ras proteins during Dictyostelium discoideum development
Creators: name: Bolourani, Parvin
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2008

description: Following starvation, Dictyostelium discoideum cells aggregate, a response that requires chemotaxis to cyclic AMP (cAMP) and the relay of the cAMP signal by the activation of adenylyl cyclase (ACA). Insertional inactivation of the rasG gene resulted in delayed aggregation and a partial inhibition of early gene expression, suggesting that RasG does have a role in early development. When the responses of rasG⁻ cells to cAMP were compared with the responses of rasC⁻ strain, these studies revealed that signal transduction through RasG is more important in chemotaxis and early gene expression, but that signal transduction through RasC is more important in ACA activation. Characterization of a rasC⁻/rasG⁻ mutant revealed that both cAMP chemotaxis and adenylyl cyclase (ACA) activation were negligible in this strain. The ectopic expression of carA from the actin 15 promoter restored early developmental gene expression to the rasC⁻/rasG⁻ strain, rendering it suitable for an analysis of cAMP signal transduction. Since there was negligible signaling through either the cAMP chemotactic pathway or the adenylyl cyclase activation pathway in this strain, it is clear that RasG and RasC are the only two Ras subfamily proteins that directly control these pathways. The mutational analysis of Switch I and Switch II regions also defined the key residues that generate functional differences between RasC and RasG. Rap1 is also activated in response to cAMP but its position in the signal transduction cascade was clarified by the finding that its activation was totally abolished in rasC⁻/rasG⁻/[act15]:carA and in rasG⁻ cells, but only slightly reduced in rasC⁻ cells. The finding that in vitro guanylyl cyclase activation is also abolished in the rasC/rasG⁻4act15]:carA strain identifies RasG⁻/RasC⁻ as the presumptive monomeric GTPases required for this activation. The phenotypes of the vegetative ras null mutants were also examined. The results indicate that RasG plays an important role in cytokinesis. The partial absence of chemotaxis to folate in rase cells compared to the total absence of chemotaxis to folate in rasC⁻/rasG⁻, and rasC⁻/rasG⁻/[act15]:carA cells suggests a compensatory role of RasC for RasG during this process, a similar phenomenon to that observed for cAMP chemotaxis by aggregating cells.

description: This study investigates the prevalence and evaluates the prognostic implications of acute kidney injury (AKI) in COVID-19 patients, with a novel emphasis on the evaluation of serum uromodulin (sUmod) as a potential kidney-specific biomarker. A cohort of hospitalised COVID-19 patients (n = 378) was examined for AKI using standard criteria. In addition to traditional urinary biomarkers, sUmod levels were analysed. Univariable and multivariable regression models were employed to evaluate the association of sUmod and AKI and in-hospital mortality. Levels of sUmod were significantly lower in patients with CKD (91.8 ± 60.7 ng/ml) compared to patients with normal kidney function (204.7 ± 91.7 ng/ml; p < 0.001). 151 patients (40.0%) presented with AKI at the time of hospital admission or developed an AKI during hospitalization. 116 patients (76.8%) had an AKI already at the time of hospital admission. COVID-19 patients with AKI had significantly lower levels of sUmod compared to patients without AKI during hospitalisation (124.8 ± 79.5 ng/ml) vs 214.6 ± 92.3 ng/ml; p < 0.001). The in-hospital mortality rate in this cohort of COVID-19 patients was 15.3%. Patients with AKI had a higher probability for in-hospital death (OR 5.6, CI 1.76 to 17.881, p = 0.004). Patients who died during hospital stay, had significantly lower sUmod levels (129.14 ± 89.56 ng/ml) compared to patients surviving hospitalisation (187.71 ± 96,64 ng/ml; p < 0.001). AKI is frequently associated with COVID-19 in hospitalized patients. Serum uromodulin may emerge as a promising biomarker for AKI in COVID-19 patients. Further research is warranted to explore its clinical application and refine risk stratification in this patient population.

description: Background: Physical therapy interventions play a crucial role in the daily care of patients recovering from severe stroke. However, the efficacy of these interventions and associated modalities, including duration, intensity, and frequency, have not been fully elucidated. In 2020, a systematic review reported the beneficial effects of physical therapy for patients with severe stroke but did not assess therapeutic modalities. We aim to update the current evidence on the effects of physical therapy interventions and their modalities in relation to the recovery phase in people with severe stroke in a hospital or inpatient rehabilitation facility. Methods: We searched CENTRAL, MEDLINE, Web of Science, and three other relevant databases between December 2018 and March 2021 and updated the search between April 2021 and March 2023. ClinicalTrials.gov and ICTRP for searching trial registries helped to identify ongoing RCTs since 2023. We included individual and cluster randomized controlled trials in the English and German languages that compared physical therapy interventions to similar or other interventions, usual care, or no intervention in a hospital or rehabilitation inpatient setting. We screened the studies from this recent review for eligibility criteria, especially according to the setting. Critical appraisal was performed according to the Cochrane risk-of-bias tool 2.0. The data were synthesized narratively. Results: The update identified 15 new studies, cumulating in a total of 30 studies (n = 2545 participants) meeting the eligibility criteria. These studies reported 54 outcomes and 20 physical therapy interventions. Two studies included participants during the hyperacute phase, 4 during the acute phase,18 during the early subacute phase, and 3 in the late subacute phase. Three studies started in the chronic phase. Summarised evidence has revealed an uncertain effect of physical therapy on patient outcomes (with moderate to low-quality evidence). Most studies showed a high risk of bias and did not reach the optimal sample size. Little was stated about the standard care and their therapy modalities. Discussion: There is conflicting evidence for the effectiveness of physical therapy interventions in patients with severe stroke. There is a need for additional high-quality studies that also systematically report therapeutic modalities from a multidimensional perspective in motor stroke recovery. Due to the high risk of bias and the generally small sample size of the included studies, the generalizability of the findings to large and heterogeneous volumes of outcome data is limited.

description: A recent discussion paper Sufficiency as a “Strategy of the Enough”: A Necessary Debate by the German Advisory Council on the Environment (SRU) aims to intensify the debate on sufficiency, a central but neglected element of future-oriented policy. It defines sufficiency as the need to limit the consumption and production of ecologically critical goods and services, mainly by the economically rich, as a basis for reducing distributional injustices and environmental impacts. Rather than proposing specific measures, the paper deliberately aims to explain the need for sufficiency from various scientific disciplines, and invite discussion. Here, the authors of the discussion paper provide a short overview of the analyses and arguments in English.

description: The effect of aromatic core bromination as well as different linking groups on the phase behaviour of light-responsive rod-like liquid crystalline materials is reported. For this purpose, two new series of laterally brominated rod-like molecules are designed and synthesized. The two series have three benzene rings connected using different linking groups either azo or ester units with different directions. Both series have pentyloxy chain at one end and an octyl chain at the other end in the first group or an octyloxy chain in the second group of materials. Additional lateral bromine substituent was inserted at ortho position with respect to the pentyloxy chain. The molecular self-assembly of the new materials was investigated using polarized optical microscope (POM), differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) and X-Ray diffraction (XRD). Depending on the type of the terminal chain (octyl or octyloxy) at one end and nature of the linking groups nematic phases as well as smectic C phases are observed, with variable temperature ranges. Interestingly, the nematic phases were found to exhibit cybotactic clusters with tilted SmC or orthogonal SmA structure (NCybC or NCybA) with wide temperature ranges. Finally, the isothermal photo switching because of cis–trans photoisomerization was investigated in solution as well as between different liquid crystal phases. This report could be of interest for optical information storage device applications.

description: Climate change, population growth, rapid urbanization, shifting dietary patterns, and economic development pose significant challenges to food security, particularly in the Global South. Addressing these challenges involves efforts aimed at sustainable agricultural intensification (SAI), especially for smallholder farmers in marginalized regions. However, knowledge gaps persist regarding smallholder farmers’ access to water for SAI, particularly in arid and semi-arid agroecological zones. This study investigates smallholder farmers’ access to water for SAI in the Guinea and Sudan Savannah Agroecological Zones (SSAZ) of Ghana. Data were collected from 698 smallholder farmers across 25 communities using a structured questionnaire and geospatial techniques. The analysis employed cost distance analysis, factor analysis, and multinomial-ordered logistic regression. Findings indicate that the average distance travelled to access water from a dam or a river was 11 km and 9 km, respectively. Most respondents reported low to moderate water access for SAI. Key factors influencing water access included soil type, vegetation, and the distances to dams and rivers. To improve water access, it is recommended that smallholder farmers be educated on effective soil and water conservation techniques. Additionally, both government and non-governmental organizations should focus on building community-level dams to increase water availability for sustainable agricultural intensification.
