description: Achieving and implementing macroscopic materials capable of displaying the unique properties inherent to inorganic nanocrystals requires bridging the nanoscale and the length scales of larger orders of magnitude in a systematic, controllable, and scalable way. Over the last 15 years, nanocrystal gels have been developed and investigated as potential materials to tackle this need. However, available gelation methods rely on chemical reactions and interactions specific to the stabilizing molecules on the nanocrystal surface, and are therefore not readily adaptable across broad types of materials. Specifically, most studies have focused on gelation methods for metal chalcogenides and noble metals, whereas progress on metal oxide nanocrystal gels has lagged behind. This dissertation investigates and demonstrates an alternative gelation method based on entropic depletion attractions that are not dependent on specific surface chemistries and have not been explored in nanoscale colloidal gels. In the first study, a proof of concept system is developed, where depletion attractions induce the gelation of tin-doped indium oxide nanocrystals in the presence of a polymer depletant and achieve a macroscopic material with optical properties reflective of both the microstructure and the nanostructured building blocks. The mechanism of gelation is assessed by comparing the observed phase behavior to theoretical predictions and the microstructure is characterized by small-angle X-ray scattering (SAXS). Next, the universal applicability of depletion attractions is demonstrated by varying the composition and shape of the building blocks while fixing size and nanocrystal volume fraction. The gelation of spherical nanocrystals occurs at the same depletant concentration and this phase transition threshold does not depend on the specific composition of the metal oxide nanocrystal. Consistent with theoretical phase boundary calculations, cubic nanocrystals form gels at a lower depletant concentration than spherical nanocrystals due to the ability to pack face-to-face and therefore increase the overlap excluded volume during assembly. Finally, a method to polymer-wrap tin-doped indium oxide nanocrystals in a controllable way while maintaining colloidal stability is investigated in an effort to tune the physicochemical properties of the metal oxide building blocks available for gelation.

description: Comprehensive multiplatform analysis of 80 uveal melanomas (UM) identifies four molecularly distinct, clinically relevant subtypes: two associated with poor-prognosis monosomy 3 (M3) and two with better-prognosis disomy 3 (D3). We show that BAP1 loss follows M3 occurrence and correlates with a global DNA methylation state that is distinct from D3-UM. Poor-prognosis M3-UM divide into subsets with divergent genomic aberrations, transcriptional features, and clinical outcomes. We report change-of-function SRSF2 mutations. Within D3-UM, EIF1AX- and SRSF2/SF3B1-mutant tumors have distinct somatic copy number alterations and DNA methylation profiles, providing insight into the biology of these low- versus intermediate-risk clinical mutation subtypes.

description: © 2019 Australian Society for Parasitology Currently, there is a dearth of proteomic data to underpin fundamental investigations of parasites and parasitism at the molecular level. Here, using a high throughput LC–MS/MS-based approach, we undertook the first reported comprehensive, large-scale proteomic investigation of the barber's pole worm (Haemonchus contortus) – one of the most important parasitic nematodes of livestock animals worldwide. In total, 2487 unique H. contortus proteins representing different developmental stages/sexes (i.e. eggs, L3s and L4s, female (Af) and male (Am) adults) were identified and quantified with high confidence. Bioinformatic analyses of this proteome revealed substantial alterations in protein profiles during the life cycle, particularly in the transition from the free-living to the parasitic phase, and key groups of proteins involved specifically in feeding, digestion, metabolism, development, parasite-host interactions (including immunomodulation), structural remodelling of the body wall and adaptive processes during parasitism. This proteomic data set will facilitate future molecular, biochemical and physiological investigations of H. contortus and related nematodes, and the discovery of novel intervention targets against haemonchosis.

description: Background: Heterogeneity of muscle-invasive bladder cancer (MIBC) has been characterized using whole-genome mRNA expression data, showing distinct molecular and clinicopathological characteristics by subtypes. However, associations between risk factors and molecular subtypes have not been reported. Methods: Four previously published schemes were used to categorize molecular subtypes in 372 MIBC patients from the Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA). Data on gene expression (RNA-seq), demographic, and clinicopathological characteristics were retrieved through TCGA data portal. Polytomous logistic regression was used to estimate the associations of subtypes by different schemes with age at diagnosis, obesity, and smoking. Results: While some quantitative variation was evident, distinct molecular subtype schemes showed considerable consistency in the association with the risk factors. Generally, compared to patients with luminal-like tumors, patients with basal-like subtypes were more likely to be older (OR75 + yrs vs. <60 years range = 1.32–2.89), obese (ORobese vs. normal range = 1.30–3.05), and to start smoking at early age (OR<18 years vs. 25+ years range = 1.11–4.57). Conclusions: Different molecular subtypes of MIBC may have distinct risk profiles. Large population-based studies with detailed information on bladder cancer risk factors are needed to further define etiologic heterogeneity for bladder cancer.

description: Using quantitative radiomics, we demonstrate that computer-extracted magnetic resonance (MR) image-based tumor phenotypes can be predictive of the molecular classification of invasive breast cancers. Radiomics analysis was performed on 91 MRIs of biopsy-proven invasive breast cancers from National Cancer Institute’s multi-institutional TCGA/TCIA. Immunohistochemistry molecular classification was performed including estrogen receptor, progesterone receptor, human epidermal growth factor receptor 2, and for 84 cases, the molecular subtype (normal-like, luminal A, luminal B, HER2-enriched, and basal-like). Computerized quantitative image analysis included: three-dimensional lesion segmentation, phenotype extraction, and leave-one-case-out cross validation involving stepwise feature selection and linear discriminant analysis. The performance of the classifier model for molecular subtyping was evaluated using receiver operating characteristic analysis. The computer-extracted tumor phenotypes were able to distinguish between molecular prognostic indicators; area under the ROC curve values of 0.89, 0.69, 0.65, and 0.67 in the tasks of distinguishing between ER+ versus ER−, PR+ versus PR−, HER2+ versus HER2−, and triple-negative versus others, respectively. Statistically significant associations between tumor phenotypes and receptor status were observed. More aggressive cancers are likely to be larger in size with more heterogeneity in their contrast enhancement. Even after controlling for tumor size, a statistically significant trend was observed within each size group (P = 0.04 for lesions ≤ 2 cm; P = 0.02 for lesions >2 to≤ 5 cm) as with the entire data set (P-value = 0.006) for the relationship between enhancement texture (entropy) and molecular subtypes (normal-like, luminal A, luminal B, HER2-enriched, basal-like). In conclusion, computer-extracted image phenotypes show promise for high-throughput discrimination of breast cancer subtypes and may yield a quantitative predictive signature for advancing precision medicine.

description: Recurrence rates after breast-conserving therapy may depend on genomic characteristics of cancer-adjacent, benign-appearing tissue. Studies have not evaluated recurrence in association with multiple genomic characteristics of cancer-adjacent breast tissue. To estimate the prevalence of DNA defects and RNA expression subtypes in cancer-adjacent, benign-appearing breast tissue at least 2 cm from the tumor margin, cancer-adjacent, pathologically well-characterized, benign-appearing breast tissue specimens from The Cancer Genome Atlas project were analyzed for DNA sequence, copy-number variation, DNA methylation, messenger RNA (mRNA) sequence, and mRNA/microRNA expression. Additional samples were also analyzed by at least one of these genomic data types and associations between genomic characteristics of normal tissue and overall survival were assessed. Approximately 40% of cancer-adjacent, benign-appearing tissues harbored genomic defects in DNA copy number, sequence, methylation, or in RNA sequence, although these defects did not significantly predict 10-year overall survival. Two mRNA/microRNA expression phenotypes were observed, including an active mRNA subtype that was identified in 40% of samples. Controlling for tumor characteristics and the presence of genomic defects, this active subtype was associated with significantly worse 10-year survival among estrogen receptor (ER)-positive cases. This multi-platform analysis of breast cancer-adjacent samples produced genomic findings consistent with current surgical margin guidelines, and provides evidence that extratumoral RNA expression patterns in cancer-adjacent tissue predict overall survival among patients with ER-positive disease.

description: The advent of Omics technologies has been key to the molecular subclassification of urothelial bladder cancer. Several groups have used different strategies to this aim, with partially overlapping findings. The meeting at the Spanish National Cancer Research Center-CNIO was held to discuss such classifications and reach consensus where appropriate. After updated presentations on the work performed by the teams attending the meeting, a consensus was reached regarding the existence of a group of Basal-Squamous-like tumors - designated BASQ - charaterized the high expression of KRT5/6 and KRT14 and low/undetectable expression of FOXA1 and GATA3. An additional tumor subgroup with urothelial differentiation features was recognized whose optimal molecular definition is required. For other subtypes described, more work is needed to determine how robust they are and how to best define them at the molecular level.

description: Objective/Background: Short and long sleep duration, later sleep midpoint, and greater intra-individual sleep variability are associated with lower physical activity, but previous research lacks objective and concurrent assessment of sleep and physical activity. This cross-sectional study examined whether sleep duration, midpoint, and variability in duration and midpoint were related to wrist actigraphy-measured physical activity. Participants: Participants were 2156 Hispanics/Latinos in the Hispanic Community Health Study/Study of Latinos (HCHS/SOL) Sueño Ancillary Study. Methods: Participants wore Actiwatch devices to measure sleep and physical activity via the wrist for ≥5 days. Physical activity was defined as minutes/day in the upper quartile of the sampling distribution’s non-sleep activity, capturing light to vigorous physical activity. Results: An inverse linear relationship between sleep duration and physical activity was found such that each additional sleep hour related to 29 fewer minutes of physical activity (B = −28.7, SE = 3.8), p <.01). Variability in sleep midpoint was also associated with physical activity; with each 1-hr increase in variability there were 24 more minutes of physical activity (B = 24.2, SE = 5.6, p <.01). In contrast, sleep midpoint and variability in duration were not associated with physical activity. Sensitivity analyses identified an association of short sleep duration and greater variability in sleep duration with greater accelerometry-derived moderate-to-vigorous physical activity measured at the HCHS/SOL baseline (M = 2.1 years before the sleep assessment). Conclusions: Findings help clarify inconsistent prior research associating short sleep duration and sleep variability with greater health risks but also contribute novel information with simultaneous objective assessments.

description: We compare an entropy estimator $H_z$ recently discussed in [10] with two estimators $H_1$ and $H_2$ introduced in [6][7]. We prove the identity $H_z \equiv H_1$, which has not been taken into account in [10]. Then, we prove that the statistical bias of $H_1$ is less than the bias of the ordinary likelihood estimator of entropy. Finally, by numerical simulation we verify that for the most interesting regime of small sample estimation and large event spaces, the estimator $H_2$ has a significant smaller statistical error than $H_z$.

description: Актуальными вопросами в области социальной политики государств выступают вопросы пенсионного обеспечения. Целью статьи является анализ зарубежного опыта реформирования пенсионных систем для возможной адаптации их к условиям России. Реформирование пенсионной системы во всем мире обусловлено необходимостью сбалансировать социальную поддержку для нетрудоспособных членов общества. Россия в вопросе повышения пенсионного возраста сталкивается с кризисом. Опыт некоторых стран показывает, что повышение ставок отчислений оказывает негативное влияние на занятость, приводит к значительному увеличению государственного долга, и, следовательно, не совсем приемлемо. Следовательно, необходимо определить основные направления решения пенсионного кризиса. Существует настоятельная необходимость в адаптации, основанной на международном опыте, для рассмотрения предложенных путей реформирования пенсионной системы России. В статье рассматриваются особенности международного опыта реформирования пенсионных систем и рекомендуются направления реформирования пенсионной системы России на основе демографических, социальных и культурных особенностей развития.Рension issues are relevant issues in the field of social policy of States. The purpose of the article is to analyze foreign experience in reforming pension systems for possible adaptation to the conditions of Russia. The reform of the pension system worldwide is driven by the need to balance social support for disabled members of society. Russia faces a crisis in raising the retirement age. Experience in some countries shows that higher rates.Deductions have a negative impact on employment, lead to a significant increase in public debt, and therefore are not entirely sustainable. Therefore, it is necessary to define the main directions for solving the pension crisis. There is an urgent need for adaptation based on international experience to consider proposed ways to reform Russia 's pension system. The article considers the peculiarities of the international experience of reforming pension systems and recommends directions of reforming the pension system of Russia on the basis of demographic, social and cultural peculiarities of development.

description: Исчезновение Арала это большая трагедия, появившаяся из-за несбалансированных, неправильных действий со стороны людей. Современное состояние Аральского моря влияет пагубно не только на сельскохозяйственную сферу, но и на экологию со всей флорой и фауной. Каждый год с осушенного дна в воздух поднимается более 150 миллионов тон соли, пыли и песка. Пустыня Аралкум образовалась на месте осушенной территории, здесь уносятся соли на длинное расстояние и выпадают в виде осадков солей. По району Аральского моря почти круглый год проходят солено-песчаные бури. Причем эта мелкодисперсная соленая пыль разрушает флору и фауну региона. Воздух полон ядовитыми солями и пылью. МФСА и другие международные организации стараются смягчить негативные последствия осушения Арала. В статье описывается деятельность Международного Фонда Спасения Аральского моря, далее МФСА, и способы восстановления правильного экологического состояния региона.The disappearance of the Aral Sea is a great tragedy that appeared due to unbalanced, incorrect actions on the part of people. The current state of the Aral Sea adversely affects not only the agricultural sector, but also the ecology with all its flora and fauna. Each year, more than 150 million tons of salt, dust and sand rise from the dried bottom into the air. The Aralkum desert was formed on the site of the drained territory, here salt is carried away over a long distance and precipitates as salt. In the Aral Sea region, almost all year round, salt and sand storms pass. What does this fine salt dust destroy the flora and fauna of the region. The air is full of poisonous salts and dust. IFAS and other international organizations are trying to mitigate the negative consequences of draining the Aral Sea. The article describes the activities of the International Fund for the Salvation of the Aral Sea, hereinafter IFAS, and ways to restore the correct ecological state of the region.

description: Выражаемость постоянной Планка через константы электродинамики вынуждает модернизировать квантовую механику. Для описания атомных процессов используется физика близкодействия с положениями: 1) центральное поле электрона состоит из конечного числа реальных силовых линий; 2) на атомных расстояниях радиальная сила взаимодействия протона с электроном имеет обратное направление; 3) излучение на дискретных частотах происходит при колебаниях электрона относительно положения равновесия; 4) частота колебаний определяется числом силовых линий электрона, замкнутых на ядро, а интенсивность излучения числом оставшихся свободных линий. Результаты построений: Рассчитано число силовых линий поля электрона Ne = 9,3.104. При этом числе и исправленных значениях заряда и массы электрона me (в 1,24 больше принятых), внутренняя энергия, приходящаяся на одну силовую линию We1 = mec2/ Ne = 6,8 эВ. Инверсия силы взаимодействия протона с электроном на атомных расстояниях рассматривается как причина слабых взаимодействий.Еxpressibility of the Planck constant through electrodynamic constants forces us to modernize the quantum mechanical concept. For the description of atomic processes the short-range physics is used with the basics: 1) the central field of the electron consists of a finite number of real force lines; 2) at atomic distances, the total force acting on the electron is repulsive; 3) the radiation of energy occurs when the electron oscillates relative to the equilibrium position; 4) the frequency of oscillation is proportional to the number of electron force lines closed to a proton, and the radiation intensity is determined by the number of remaining free force lines. Results of calculations: the calculated number of electron field force lines is Ne = 9.3x104. With this number and the corrected charge ee and mass me of the electron (1.24 times greater than the accepted values) the internal energy per one force line is We1 = me c2 /Ne = 6.8 eV. The inversion of the proton-electron interaction force at atomic distances is considered as the cause of weak interactions.

description: We study $AdS_5\times Σ_2$ and $AdS_4\times Σ_3$ solutions of $N=2$, $SO(4)$ gauged supergravity in seven dimensions with $Σ_{2,3}$ being $S^{2,3}$ or $H^{2,3}$. The $SO(4)$ gauged supergravity is obtained from coupling three vector multiplets to the pure $N=2$, $SU(2)$ gauged supergravity. With a topological mass term for the 3-form field, the $SO(4)\sim SU(2)\times SU(2)$ gauged supergravity admits two supersymmetric $AdS_7$ critical points, with $SO(4)$ and $SO(3)$ symmetries, provided that the two $SU(2)$ gauge couplings are different. These vacua correspond to $N=(1,0)$ superconformal field theories (SCFTs) in six dimensions. In the case of $Σ_2$, we find a class of $AdS_5\times S^2$ and $AdS_5\times H^2$ solutions preserving eight supercharges and $SO(2)\times SO(2)$ symmetry, but only $AdS_5\times H^2$ solutions exist for $SO(2)$ symmetry. These should correspond to some $N=1$ four-dimensional SCFTs. We also give RG flow solutions from the $N=(1,0)$ SCFTs in six dimensions to these four-dimensional fixed points including a two-step flow from the $SO(4)$ $N=(1,0)$ SCFT to the $SO(3)$ $N=(1,0)$ SCFT that eventually flows to the $N=1$ SCFT in four dimensions. For $AdS_4\timesΣ_3$, we find a class of $AdS_4\times S^3$ and $AdS_4\times H^3$ solutions with four supercharges, corresponding to $N=1$ SCFTs in three dimensions. When the two $SU(2)$ gauge couplings are equal, only $AdS_4\times H^3$ are possible. The uplifted solutions for equal $SU(2)$ gauge couplings to eleven dimensions are also given.

description: Task-based Language Teaching (TBLT) hat sich als Sprachlernansatz in der Fachdidaktik Englisch etabliert (Müller-Hartmann & Schocker-vonDitfurth 2010). Der Artikel zeigt auf, wie Willis Unterrichtsformat (J. Willis 1996, D. Willis & Willis 2007) für die Organisation eines aufgabenorientierten Unterrichts im Bereich dialogisches Sprechen für den Schweizer Volksschulkontext konkretisiert werden kann. Dabei wird diskutiert, welche Lerngelegenheiten dialogische Lernaufgaben bieten und welche Herausforderungen sich bei der Implementierung in der Volksschule ergeben können. Aus der Diskussion werden Empfehlungen für die Vorbereitung auf eine Sprechaufgabe und den Einsatz anderer als der Zielsprache abgeleitet. Die gemachten Aussagen werden als TBLT-Modell für dialogische Sprechaufgaben zusammengefasst.

description: Рост городов и численности их населения, развитие инфраструктуры, сферы обслуживания и прочие факторы неизбежно вызывают увеличение потребления электрической энергии. Повышаются требования к качеству электрической энергии. Возникает необходимость в реконструкции электрических сетей, в замене оборудования на более современное, способное обеспечить требуемое количество электроэнергии, а также её качество и надёжность снабжения. Одним из основных путей повышения надежности работы распределительных воздушных электрических сетей 10 кВ является их автоматизация.The growth of cities and their population, the development of infrastructure, services and other factors inevitably cause an increase in electricity consumption. The requirements for the quality of electric energy are increasing. There is a need for the reconstruction of electrical networks, in the replacement of equipment with more modern, able to provide the required amount of electricity, as well as its quality and reliability of supply. One of the main ways to improve the reliability of 10 kV distribution air power networks is their automation.

description: В статье рассмотрены современные распределительные сети с напряжением 6-10 кВ, которые имеют довольно разнообразные схемы электроснабжения, которые, в свою очередь, зависят от требований, зависящих напрямую от категорий надежности электроснабжения. Они довольно таки специфичны, по сравнению с промышленными сетями такого же напряжения. Это связано с тем, что в городских районах могут встречаться потребители всех трех категорий. Современные распределительные сети напряжением 6-10 кВ чаще всего выполнены по смешанной схеме электроснабжения, т.е. часть сети питается по магистральной, а часть по радиальной схеме.The article discusses modern distribution networks with a voltage of 6-10 kV, which have quite a variety of power supply schemes, which, in turn, depend on requirements that depend directly on the categories of reliability of power supply. They are quite specific, in comparison with industrial networks of the same voltage. This is due to the fact that consumers of all three categories can be found in urban areas. Modern distribution networks with a voltage of 6-10 kV are most often made according to a mixed power supply scheme, i.e. part of the network is powered by the trunk, and part by the radial circuit.

description: This article considers the relationship between the Scottish Children's hearings system and residential childcare, with particular attention to issues of training and education. The paper summarises the key characteristics of Scotland's Children's Hearings system and highlights changes that have taken place following the introduction of the Children's Hearing (Scotland) Act 2011. The paper also considers the relevance of the original Kilbrandon Report to residential childcare in Scotland and critically examines the changes that have taken place to the education and training of residential childcare workers since the report was published in 1964. The paper argues that recent developments in relation to the regulation of the residential child workforce in Scotland provides an opportunity to focus on the importance of attending to all aspects of children's 'upbringing' through the application of approaches informed by social pedagogy.

description: Steps per day were measured by accelerometer for 7 days among 5,545 women aged 63–97 years between 2012 and 2014. Incident falls were ascertained from daily fall calendars for 13 months. Median steps per day were 3,216. There were 5,473 falls recorded over 61,564 fall calendar-months. The adjusted incidence rate ratio comparing women in the highest versus lowest step quartiles was 0.71 (95% confidence interval [0.54, 0.95]; ptrend across quartiles = .01). After further adjustment for physical function using the Short Physical Performance Battery, the incidence rate ratio was 0.86 ([0.64, 1.16]; ptrend = .27). Mediation analysis estimated that 63.7% of the association may be mediated by physical function (p = .03). In conclusion, higher steps per day were related to lower incident falls primarily through their beneficial association with physical functioning. Interventions that improve physical function, including those that involve stepping, could reduce falls in older adults.
