description: Cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) pose a significant global health threat, with familial hypercholesterolemia (FH) being a key genetic contributor. The apolipoprotein E (APOE) gene plays a vital role in lipid metabolism, and its variants are associated with CVD risk. This study explores prevalent APOE variants (p.R163C, p.R176C, p.R246C and p.V254E) using genetic and structural analyses. The research, initiated by identifying high-frequency APOE variants through the ABraOM database, utilizes homology modeling and molecular dynamics (MD) simulations to understand the structural consequences. The major lipid-binding region, a critical domain for lipid metabolism, was a focal point. Structural dynamics, including principal component analyses and domain movement analyses, highlighted distinct patterns in APOE variants compared to the wild type (WT). Results revealed significant differences in the structural behavior of variants, particularly in the Major lipid-binding region. The identification of an ‘elbow’ structure with two states (Elbow I and Elbow II) provided insights into conformational changes. Notably, variants exhibited unique patterns in hydrogen bonding (hb) and hydrophobic interactions, indicating potential functional consequences. The study further associated APOE variants with clinical outcomes, including cognitive impairment and cholesterol levels. Specific variants demonstrated correlations with cognitive decline and variations in lipid profiles, emphasizing their relevance to cardiovascular and neurobiological health. In conclusion, this integrated approach enhances our understanding of APOE variants, shedding light on their role in lipid metabolism and cardiovascular health. The identified structural ‘elbows’ and their association with clinical outcomes offer a nuanced perspective, guiding future research toward targeted interventions for diseases linked to lipid metabolism and neurobiology.

description: We present spectra and mass composition of cosmic rays incoming to the Earth in the energy range (0.5-2)10^20 eV. As their sources we consider Seyfert galaxies located at distances < 40 Mpc, following an acceleration model for such moderate-power objects. Mass composition of the particles at sources is assumed to be mixed. Generation spectra are described by a function E^(-g0), where g0 is an arbitrary parameter. It is shown that the assumptions adopted make it possible to describe experimental data provided by HiRes and Pierre Auger Observatory, using different values of g0.

Spinoza: la verità utile

Subjects: Spinoza, intelligibilità del reale, miracoli, idee vere, immaginazione, vera religione, intelligibility of reality, miracles, true ideas, imagination, true religion

description: Come intendere la completa intelligibilità del reale affermata da Spinoza? Da un  lato essa porta alla perdita di senso della nozione di miracolo, di cui si  mostrano la contradditorietà e l'inutilità. Dall'altro lato essa espone però la  verità stessa al rischio della propria dissoluzione all'interno di un Dio in cui  tutte le idee sono vere. Il confronto con tale difficoltà porta ad indagare il  ruolo positivo dell'immaginazione nella filosofia di Spinoza e ad ipotizzare  nella nozione di vera religione un possibile esempio di "verità utile", capace  di efficacia pratico-politica.

Spinoza: the useful truth

What does the full  intelligibility of reality proposed by Spinoza mean? On the one hand, it turns  the notion of miracle into a nonsense, both contradictory and useless. On the  other hand, it seems that the truth itself could disappear into a God in which  all ideas are true. The confrontation with this problem requires an analysis of  Spinoza’s positive approach to imagination and brings to considers the notion of  true religion as a possible example of “useful truth”, effective on a practical  and political level.

description: Discrimination and rejection experienced by LGBTQI* people affect their mental health and, in the long term, their physical health as well. Survey data from the Socio-Economic Panel and Bielefeld University show that LGBTQI* people in Germany are affected by negative mental health outcomes three to four times more often than the rest of the population. Poor physical health that may be stress-related, such as heart disease, migraines, asthma, and chronic back pain, are also far more common. A person’s general well-being depends in part on their social environment. LGBTQI* people, and trans* people in particular, often feel lonely, which is cause for concern in view of increasing loneliness among most people during the coronavirus pandemic. The findings point to a marked health gradient, which should be addressed by measures including expanding queer safe spaces and by explicitly naming LGBTQI* hate crimes in the criminal code.

Testing General Relativity on Horizon Scales and the Primordial non-Gaussianity

description: The proper general relativistic description of the observed galaxy power spectrum is substantially different from the standard Newtonian description on large scales, providing a unique opportunity to test general relativity on horizon scales. Using the Einstein equations, the general relativistic effects can be classified as two new terms that represent the velocity and the gravitational potential, coupling to the time evolution of galaxy number density and Hubble parameter. Compared to the dominant density and velocity redshift-space distortion terms, the former scales as H/k and correlates the real and imaginary parts of the Fourier modes, while the latter scales as (H/k)^2, where k is the comoving wave number and H is the conformal Hubble parameter. We use the recently developed methods to reduce the sampling variance and shot noise to show that in an all sky galaxy redshift survey at low redshift the velocity term can be measured at 10-sigma confidence level, if one can utilize halos of mass M>10^{10} Msun, while the gravitational potential term itself can only be marginally detected. We also demonstrate that the general relativistic effect is not degenerate with the primordial non-Gaussian signature in galaxy bias, and the ability to detect the primordial non-Gaussianity is little compromised.

Effect of a controlled diesel exhaust exposure on airway oxidative stress in humans : analysis of exhaled breath condensate
Creators: name: Malouf, Bianca
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2013

description: Introduction: The purpose of this study was to characterize the effects of a controlled diesel exhaust (DE) exposure on airway oxidative stress in humans by measuring two biomarkers of interest in exhaled breath condensate (EBC). As there is evidence that antioxidant supplementation plays a role in reducing respiratory health effects associated with DE, this study also assessed whether antioxidant supplementation helps mitigate DE-related oxidative stress in humans. Methods: EBC was taken from subjects participating in a randomized, three-way crossover study (i.e. 3 different exposures: fresh air + placebo [FAP], DE + placebo [DEP], and DE + antioxidant [DEN]) at baseline as well as 2, 6 and 30 hours after exposure. Analysis for 8-isoprostane was performed using liquid chromatography with tandem mass spectrometry; pH was analyzed using standard de-aeration protocol and pH meter reading. Linear mixed effects models in SPLUS 8.0 were used for statistical analysis. Results: A total of 27 participants had their EBC collected and analysed for biomarker content: 23 for 8-isoprostane and 17 for pH. 8-isoprostane was consistently higher after DEP relative to FAP and was consistently lower after DEN relative to DEP, but none of these trends were statistically significant. Effects of exposure on pH were less consistent. The effect of exposure on 6 hour pH was significantly modified by sex (p=0.03); males showed a significant acidification after DEP relative to FAP (p=0.003), females showed a significant acidification after DEP relative to DEN (p=0.03). Other covariates did not significantly modify the interaction between exposure and biomarker levels. Conclusion: Amongst all subjects, exposure had no significant effect on EBC oxidative stress biomarkers. According to a secondary analysis, DEP lowered EBC pH 6 hours after exposure in males. Short-term diesel exhaust at concentrations typical of occupational settings does not significantly alter EBC oxidative stress in a controlled study with modest sample size. However, trends towards an effect on pH and apparent effect modification by gender warrant consideration of further study using a larger sample size.

description: Graphene films prepared by heating the SiC(000-1) surface (the C-face of the {0001} surfaces) in vacuum or in a Si-rich environment are compared. It is found that different interface structures occur for the two situations. The former yields a well known 3x3 reconstructed interface, whereas the latter produces an interface with rt(43)xrt(43)-R\pm7.6 degrees symmetry. This structure is shown to contain a graphene-like layer with properties similar to the 6rt(3)x6rt(3)-R30 degrees "buffer layer" that forms on the Si(0001) surface (the Si-face).

description: The increasing global incidence of non-insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus (NIDDM) necessitates innovative therapeutic solutions. This study focuses on the design, synthesis and biological evaluation of Schiff base derivatives from 2-bromo-2-(2-chlorophenyl) acetic acid, particularly hydrazone compounds 4a and 4b. Both in-vitro and in-vivo assays demonstrate these derivatives’ strong antidiabetic and anti-hyperlipidemic properties. In a 15-d experiment, we administered 4a and 4b at doses of 2.5 and 5 mg/kg body weight, which effectively improved symptoms of alloxan-induced diabetes in mice. These symptoms included weight loss, increased water consumption and high blood glucose levels. The compounds also normalized abnormal levels of total cholesterol (TC), triacylglycerol (TG) and low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C), while raising the levels of high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDLC). Computational analysis showed that these compounds effectively inhibited the α-glucosidase enzyme by interacting with key catalytic residues, specifically Asp214 and Asp349. These computational results were confirmed through in-vitro tests, where 4a and 4b showed strong α-glucosidase inhibitory activity, with IC50 values of 0.70 ± 0.11 and 10.29 ± 0.30 µM, respectively. These compounds were more effective than the standard drug, acarbose, which had an IC50 value of 873.34 ± 1.67 µM. Mechanistic studies further indicated competitive inhibition, reinforcing the therapeutic potential of 4a and 4b for NIDDM treatment.

The set of admissible transformations of this class is exhaustively described via finding the complete family of maximal normalized subclasses and associated conditional equivalence groups. Limit processes between variable coefficient reaction-diffusion equations with power nonlinearities and those with exponential nonlinearities are simultaneously studied with limit processes between objects related to these equations (including Lie symmetries, exact solutions and conservation laws).

description: We use the inverse scattering transform and a diffusion approximation limit theorem to study the stability of soliton components of the solution of the nonlinear Schrödinger and Korteweg-de Vries equations under random perturbations of the initial conditions: for a wide class of rapidly oscillating random perturbations this problem reduces to the study of a canonical system of stochastic differential equations which depends only on the integrated covariance of the perturbation. We finally study the problem when the perturbation is weak, which allows us to analyze the stability of solitons quantitatively.

description: The minimax principle for eigenvalues in gaps of the essential spectrum in the form presented by Griesemer et al. (Doc Math 4:275–283, 1999) is adapted to cover certain abstract perturbative settings with bounded or unbounded perturbations, in particular ones that are off-diagonal with respect to the spectral gap under consideration. This in part builds upon and extends the considerations in the author’s appendix to Nakić et al. (J Spectr Theory 10:843–885, 2020). Several monotonicity and continuity properties of eigenvalues in gaps of the essential spectrum are deduced, and the Stokes operator is revisited as an example.

description: Over the past years, the proportion of women on the supervisory boards of major companies in Germany has increased. As this second report in the DIW Women Executives Barometer 2021 shows, this has a meaningful, positive impact on the supervisory boards of many companies, and affects interactions between members, discussions, and decision-making. These findings are based on qualitative interviews with 60 supervisory board members who serve on the boards of a total of 75 listed companies in Germany. These directors emphasize changes in the general atmosphere, and discussions are described as more comprehensive and multi-faceted. Women also appear to be more likely to question the executive board’s proposals and decisions and to request additional information more often. Thus, gender diversity on supervisory boards can contribute to a board’s ability to more effectively monitor executive boards. The interviews do not confirm the idea that women on supervisory boards act in an especially risk averse, altruistic, or ethical manner. Considering the frequency of top executives committing fraud—such as in the current Wirecard scandal—improvement to supervisory boards’ discussions and decision-making is very important. In the same vein, it can be hoped that the minimum requirement for the participation of women on executive boards, a bill which was recently passed by the German Cabinet, will similarly have effects beyond providing momentum for greater gender equality.

Sullo sfondo, un’interpretazione della sfera sociale non come rete di rapporti e scambi simbolici ma come corpo molteplice, attraversato da molteplici linee di forza. “Stasis”, questa figura sostanzialmente espunta dal discorso politico moderno e contemporaneo, diviene così il nome della dinamica stessa del “comune”.

description: α-amylases are industrially important enzymes which are used in different starch-based industries. They are adapted to different environmental conditions like extremes of temperature, pH and salinity. Herein, α-amylases from Bacillus amyloliquifaciens (BAA) and Bacillus licheniformis (BLA), representing mesophilic and thermophilic-like proteins, respectively, have been used to investigate the effect of naturally occurring osmolytes like arginine, proline, glycine and its methyl derivatives, sarcosine and betaine on their refolding. In this study, we have shown that among amino acids and glycine derivatives, betaine is the most promising osmolyte, while arginine and glycine exhibit moderately positive effect at their lower concentrations on the refolding of BAA only. Except betaine, all other osmolytes above 0.25 M showed inhibitory effect on the native enzyme activity of BLA and BAA. However, aggregation kinetics monitored by static light scattering indicates suppression of aggregation by all of these osmolytes. Further investigation by tryptophan and ANS fluorescence spectroscopy indicates the formation of compact hydrophobic core in the presence of the osmolytes. The morphology of protein aggregates having different sizes was visualized by atomic force microscopy ,and it was observed that amorphous aggregates of variable heights were formed. Our study highlights the importance of differential effects of arginine, proline, glycine, sarcosine and betaine on the native state as well as on refolding of BLA and BAA which may be helpful in devising strategies for developing effective protein formulation and prevention of aggregation of industrially and therapeutically important proteins.
Reinvenzioni dello spazio pubblico
Creators: name: Leoni, Federico

Subjects: Illuminismo, pubblico/privato, destra/sinistra, forma/forza, Kant, Foucault

description: L'autore rilegge due saggi, Che cos'è l’Illuminismo, di Kant, e il celebre commento omonimo fornitone da Foucault, mettendo alla prova la tesi che la filosofia coincida ogni volta con l'invenzione di un inedito spazio pubblico, e di una correlativa figura dello spazio privato. Non si tratterebbe, così, di meditare nostalgicamente sul declino di alcuni dei luoghi in cui la parola critica della filosofia ha “fatto comunità” in un passato più o meno recente, ma di chiedersi dove, oggi, l’esercizio filosofico e il contatto bruciante con il reale che esso sembra offrire stiano nuovamente, sorgivamente, anche se forse oscuramente, delineando possibilità d’azione e inedite realtà comuni.

Examining Audience Reaction to B2B Content Marketing Delivered via Social Media

description: Social media provide multiple platforms and tactics to reach business-to-business (B2B) audiences with content they may rely upon to make purchasing decisions. But while content marketing has drawn some academic interest over the past decade, particularly in the field of media effects where audience reactions are studied with traditional theoretical frameworks, there is very little scholarly research examining how content marketing in social media influences audiences, particularly with regard to purchase decisions. In the highly competitive B2B marketing space, where those making purchasing decisions must be well informed and expect brands to provide content to that end, audience reaction and tactics are especially valuable to understand.

description: The proportion of women on the boards of large companies in Germany continued to increase during 2020. In the fourth quarter of 2020, there were 101 female executive board members in the 200 largest companies, seven more than in 2019. However, growth was slow, as it was in some of the other groups of companies as well: The proportion of women on the executive boards of the top 200 companies (around 12 percent) was only one percentage point higher than in 2019. For the first time since 2013, there was even a stagnation in the proportion of women on the executive boards of the DAX 30 companies. The minimum requirement for the participation of women on executive boards, a bill adopted by the German Federal Cabinet at the beginning of 2021, could provide a push in growth. In its current form, it applies to 74 companies, around 30 of which are not yet in adherence. If all 74 companies become compliant, the proportion of female executive directors in these companies would increase from around 13 to 21 percent. In addition, the planned legislation could generate momentum for greater gender equality far beyond the boardroom. The developments on supervisory boards underscore the fact that legally binding requirements are effective.

Single- and Two-Component GRB Spectra in the Fermi GBM-LAT Energy Range
Creators: name: Veres, P.
name: Mészáros, P.
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2012
Subjects: subject: High Energy Astrophysical Phenomena (astro-ph.HE)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: Most Fermi GRB spectra appear as either a broken power law extending to GeV energies or as a broken power with a separate GeV power law component. Here we show that such spectra can be understood in terms of magnetically dominated relativistic jets where a dissipative photosphere produces the prompt MeV emission, which is extended into the GeV range by inverse Compton scattering in the external shock, with possible contributions from a reverse shock as well. The bulk Lorentz factors required in these models are in the range of 300-600, and the MeV-GeV time delays arise naturally. In some cases an optical flash and a sub-dominant thermal component are also present.
