 World distribution — Algeria, Israel, Morocco, and Tunisia.
 Previous records from Morocco — This species has been reported for the first time in Morocco on Echium vulgare (L.) (Boraginaceae) at Larache Beach (Tixier et al. 2016).
 Specimens examined — 2 ♀♀ collected in June 2018 at Stah Al Madina on Convolvulus arvensis M. (Bieb) (Convolvulaceae).
 Remarks — Measurements and description of the adult females collected agree with those provided by Evans (1987). Tsolakis et al. (2013) showed the ability of this species to feed on T. urticae, Panonychus citri (McGregor), P. ulmi (Koch). This species is only known from the Mediterranean basin and has been observed on Convolvulus spp. (Convolvulaceae) and on Cynodon dactylon (L.) (Poaceae) (Sahraoui et al. 2012). In addition, as reported by Tsolakis et al. (2019), N. longilaterus have similar traits with some phytoseiid species belonging to type
 II selective predators, but also with some others included within type III generalist predators. As a matter of fact, it can be considered an interesting biocontrol agent towards T. urticae, able also to develop on alternative foods as the pollen of Oxalis spp. L. (Oxalidaceae).

description: Arachidonic acid is an unsaturated fatty acid liberated from phospholipids of cell membranes. NSAIDs are known as targets of cyclooxygenase enzyme (COX-1, COX-2 and COX-3) in arachidonic acid metabolism. This mechanism of COX-2 in carcinogenesis causes cancer. In addition, COX-2 plays a role in the early stages of hepatocarcinogenesis. Hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection is cause of liver cirrhosis and hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). The aim of our study was to improve effective agents against HCV. A novel series of new etodolac 1,2,4-triazoles derivatives (4a–h) have been synthesized and investigated for their activity against HCV NS5B polymerase. Compound 4a was found to be the most active with IC50 value of 14.8 µM. In accordance with these results, compound 4a was screened for anti-cancer activity on liver cancer cell lines (Huh7, Mahlavu, HepG2, FOCUS). Compound 4a showed anti-cancer activity against Huh7 human hepatoma cell line with IC50 value of 4.29 µM. Therefore, compound 4a could be considered as a new anti-cancer and anti-HCV lead compound.

description: In this study, we have synthesized 2-[3- or 4-(2-aryl-2-oxoethoxy)arylidene]benzofuran-3-one derivatives (D1–D38) and evaluated their anti-cancer activities. The final compounds were obtained in multistep synthesis reactions using benzofuranon-3-one derivatives (A1–A4, B) as starting materials which were gained in various synthetic ways. Aurone derivatives (C1–C10) were acquired with the condensation reaction of these starting materials and 3-/4-hydroxybenzaldehyde which were then reacted with α-bromoacetophenones to get final compounds. The anti-cancer activity of the selected compounds was performed by National Cancer Institute (NCI), USA against 60 human tumor cell lines derived from nine neoplastic diseases. Compounds exhibited anti-cancer activity in varying ratios.

description: The theorised reorganisation of global value chains (GVCs) during crises periods and the European Union advocating for a relaunch of manufacturing activities in favour of jobs creation bring about the crucial question whether a relaunch of manufacturing employment via backshoring in Europe takes place with an intensity large enough to be captured by aggregate statistics. Defining backshoring as a process according to which production of a region uses again a greater share of domestic relative to foreign inputs, the paper operationalises the definition using suitable indicators at the NUTS-2 level and tests the relationship between backshoring and regional manufacturing employment dynamics.

description: The re-emergence of industry – a process known as ‘reindustrialisation’ – has been widely acknowledged, especially in the United States and Europe. However, there are unanswered questions about the extent of any recent industrial revival in the UK. We present new evidence on reindustrialisation within and across UK regions. Our measures of reindustrialisation reveal that most regions outside London have reindustrialised to some extent. Furthermore, we explore regional reindustrialisation-growth patterns within the context of the UK’s longstanding spatial divide in productivity. Our results highlight that manufacturing can still be a dynamic force in the UK economy when supported by appropriate regional policies.

description: Marginalised models, also known as marginally specified models, have recently become a popular tool for analysis of discrete longitudinal data. Despite being a novel statistical methodology, these models introduce complex constraint equations and model fitting algorithms. On the other hand, there is a lack of publicly available software to fit these models. In this paper, we propose a three-level marginalised model for analysis of multivariate longitudinal binary outcome. The implicit function theorem is introduced to approximately solve the marginal constraint equations explicitly. probit link enables direct solutions to the convolution equations. Parameters are estimated by maximum likelihood via a Fisher–Scoring algorithm. A simulation study is conducted to examine the finite-sample properties of the estimator. We illustrate the model with an application to the data set from the Iowa Youth and Families Project. The R package pnmtrem is prepared to fit the model.

description: Research argues that the proximity between firms represents an important determinant of their adoption of circular economy practices. However, several shortcomings remain: (1) extant studies do not explicitly examine the role of proximity between firms, but rather study the importance of inter-organisational cooperation; (2) some exclusively investigate geographical proximity, but focus on specific context through case studies, leading to a lack of generalisable and robust evidence; and (3) the role of organised proximity remains largely unexplored. In this paper, we address those issues by relying on data from an original survey of 1000 firms in the chemistry sector in France.

description: Some of the environmental toxicants acting as endocrine disruptors have been associated with health hazards in human and wildlife by modulating hormonal actions. Atrazine, a strong endocrine disruptor, induces detrimental effects on gonads in male and female, and causes impairment of fertility and developmental problems as well as sex alterations. Atrazine decreases the activities of antioxidant enzymes and thus responsible for oxidative stress. Natural antioxidants have shown ability to reduce/slow down the apoptotic effect of atrazine on testicular tissue. In the present study, some N-phenyl-4-aryl-polyhydroquinolines bearing phenolic or/and alkoxy group(s) (6a–6g) were synthesized and evaluated for antioxidant activity in four different assays. Three best compounds (6e–6g) were studied for their ameliorative effect on testicular tissue supplemented with atrazine in vitro.

description: Pyrogallol is found naturally in crops and fruits of many plants. It is also an active ingredient of many pharmaceuticals. For this reason, we employed different in vitro antioxidant assays such as cupric ion Cu2+ reducing power, Fe3+ reducing power, total antioxidant activity by ferric thiocyanate method, ABTS radical scavenging, DMPD radical scavenging, DPPH • scavenging, Fe2+ chelating, scavenging and H2O2 scavenging activities of pyrogallol. Pyrogallol inhibited 77.95% lipid peroxidation of linoleic acid emulsion at 30 μg/mL concentration. BHA, BHT, α-tocopherol and trolox exhibited inhibitions of 89.88, 89.97, 83.82 and 91.85% against peroxidation of linoleic acid emulsion at the same concentration, respectively. In addition, pyrogallol was an effective of all the scavenging and reducing power results. In this study, pyrogallol was also evaluated as potential inhibitor for acethycholinesterse enzyme. The results showed that pyrogallol exhibited potent acetylcholinesteras inhibitory activity with IC50 and Ki values 10.2 and 8.6 μM, respectively.

description: Keeping in view the recent success of molecular hybridization technique in drug design, 2,4-diarylpyrano[3,2-c]chromen-5(4H)-ones as conjugates of coumarins and chalcones have been designed and synthesized in the present study. The catalytic efficiency of various Lewis acids for the synthesis of designed conjugates under neat conditions was investigated, and SiO2 (200–400 mesh)-ZnCl2 was optimized as the best catalyst among the tested ones. The conjugates were evaluated for in-vitro xanthine oxidase activity. The results of the in-vitro assay were quite promising as some conjugates were endowed with remarkable inhibitory potential against the enzyme. HV-8, 11 and 12 were found to be high-potent inhibitors with HV-11 (the most potent inhibitor) possessing an IC50 value of 2.21 µM. The most active conjugate HV-11 was evaluated for the type of inhibition and was found to be a mixed type inhibitor. The compliance of some selected conjugates to the Lipinski rule was also calculated.

description: A novel series of 5-nitro-1H-benzimidazole derivatives substituted at position 1 by heterocyclic rings was synthesized. Cytotoxicity and antiviral activity of the new compounds were tested. Compound 3 was more active than doxorubicin against A-549, HCT-116 and MCF-7. However, compound 3 showed no activity against human liver carcinoma Hep G-2 cell line. Compounds 9 and 17b (E) showed potency near to doxorubicin against the four cell lines. The acute toxicity of compound 9 on liver cancer induced in rats was determined in vivo. Interestingly, it showed restoration activity of liver function and pathology towards normal as compared to the cancer-bearing rats induced by DENA. Compounds 17a (Z), 17b (E) and 18a (Z) were the most promising compounds for their antiviral activity against rotavirus Wa strain.

description: For every $n$, we construct two curves in the plane that intersect at least $n$ times and do not form spirals. The construction is in three stages: we first exhibit closed curves on the torus that do not form double spirals, then arcs on the torus that do not form spirals, and finally pairs of planar arcs that do not form spirals. These curves provide a counterexample to a proof of Pach and Tóth concerning string graphs.

Using a difference-in-differences method to examine 63,599 firm–year observations, we find that, on average, privatisation enhances the capacity utilisation efficiency of Chinese SOEs. That positive effect is stronger in regions with higher marketisation or more embedded in Confucianism. Interestingly, private shareholders from mainland China enhance capacity utilisation, but foreign shareholders exert no significant effect. Moreover, Hong Kong–Macau–Taiwan shareholders weaken the positive effect of privatisation on capacity utilisation in both low-marketised and high-Confucian regions.

description: We report on educators’ experiences of a Massive Open Online Course (MOOC) focussed on the ‘Carpe Diem’ learning design process. The MOOC was developed in-house using Blackboard CourseSites by a university innovation and development unit, Learning Transformations, at Swinburne University Technology in Melbourne, Australia. We propose the potential of MOOCs as an opportunity to expose university academics who are taking part as participants in online learning to constructively change their teaching practice. We report on a study of their experiences with the Carpe Diem MOOC. Conclusions include illumination of MOOCs’ value as professional development opportunities that can provide an authentic relevant experience for educators as well as promote new skills in learning design and delivery for their own teaching.

description: In this study, novel thiosemicarbazides and 1,3,4-oxadiazoles were synthesized and evaluated for their anticancer effects on human MCF-7 breast cancer cell lines. Among the synthesized derivatives studied, compound 2-(3-(4-chlorophenyl)-3-hydroxybutanoyl)-N-phenylhydrazinecarbothioamide 4c showed the highest cytotoxicity against MCF-7 breast cancer cells as it reduced cell viability to approximately 15% compared to approximately 25% in normal breast epithelial cells. Therefore, we focused on 4c for further investigations. Our data showed that 4c induced apoptosis in MCF-7 cells which was further confirmed by TUNEL assay. Western blotting analysis showed that compound 4c up-regulated the pro-survival proteins Bax, Bad and ERK1/2, while it down-regulated anti-apoptotic proteins Bcl-2, Akt and STAT-3. Additionally, 4c induced phosphorylation of SAPK/JNK in MCF-7 cells. Pretreatment of MCF-7 cells with 10 µM of JNK inhibitor significantly reduced 4c-induced apoptosis. Molecular docking results suggested that compound 4c showed a binding pattern close to the pattern observed in the structure of the lead fragment bound to JNK1. Collectively, the data of current study suggested that the thiosemicarbazide 4c might trigger apoptosis in human MCF-7 cells by targeting JNK signaling.

description: Deep Learning (DL) methods have dramatically increased in popularity in recent years. While its initial success was demonstrated in the classification and manipulation of image data, there has been significant growth in the application of DL methods to problems in the biomedical sciences. However, the greater prevalence and complexity of missing data in biomedical datasets present significant challenges for DL methods. Here, we provide a formal treatment of missing data in the context of Variational Autoencoders (VAEs), a popular unsupervised DL architecture commonly used for dimension reduction, imputation, and learning latent representations of complex data. We propose a new VAE architecture, NIMIWAE, that is one of the first to flexibly account for both ignorable and non-ignorable patterns of missingness in input features at training time. Following training, samples can be drawn from the approximate posterior distribution of the missing data can be used for multiple imputation, facilitating downstream analyses on high dimensional incomplete datasets. We demonstrate through statistical simulation that our method outperforms existing approaches for unsupervised learning tasks and imputation accuracy. We conclude with a case study of an EHR dataset pertaining to 12,000 ICU patients containing a large number of diagnostic measurements and clinical outcomes, where many features are only partially observed.

description: The aim of this study is to propose an improved computational methodology, which is called Compressed Images for Affinity Prediction-2 (CIFAP-2) to predict binding affinities of structurally related protein–ligand complexes. CIFAP-2 method is established based on a protein–ligand model from which computational affinity information is obtained by utilizing 2D electrostatic potential images determined for the binding site of protein–ligand complexes. The quality of the prediction of the CIFAP-2 algorithm was tested using partial least squares regression (PLSR) as well as support vector regression (SVR) and adaptive neuro-fuzzy ınference system (ANFIS), which are highly promising prediction methods in drug design. CIFAP-2 was applied on a protein–ligand complex system involving Caspase 3 (CASP3) and its 35 inhibitors possessing a common isatin sulfonamide pharmacophore. As a result, PLSR affinity prediction for the CASP3–ligand complexes gave rise to the most consistent information with reported empirical binding affinities (pIC50) of the CASP3 inhibitors.

description: This article discusses random hypergraphs with varying hyperedge sizes, admitting large hyperedges with size tending to infinity, and heavy-tailed limiting hyperedge size distributions. The main result describes a threshold for the random hypergraph to be connected with high probability, and shows that the average hyperedge size suffices to characterise connectivity under mild regularity assumptions. Especially, the connectivity threshold is in most cases insensitive to the shape and higher moments of the hyperedge size distribution. Similar results are also provided for related random intersection graph models.

description: This study investigates the influence of urban agglomeration policy on innovation efficiency through a difference-in-differences analysis. Findings reveal that urban agglomeration policy has led to a decrease of 3.65% in the innovation efficiency of urban agglomerations, although there is heterogeneity in the policy’s impact across these agglomerations. Cities within agglomerations are categorised into core and non-core cities, while the policy has boosted innovation efficiency by 10.1% in core cities but by −3.89% in non-core cities. Overall, urban agglomeration policies exhibit a more pronounced innovation siphoning effect, and mechanism testing of labour and commodity markets corroborates this observation.

description: Poikiloderma with neutropenia (PN) is a rare inherited disorder characterized by poikiloderma, facial dysmorphism, pachyonychia, short stature and neutropenia. The molecular testing of PN patients has identified mutations in the C16orf57 gene, which encodes a protein referred to as USB1 (U Six Biogenesis 1). In this study, we developed a zebrafish model of PN by the microinjection of morpholino antisense oligos to suppress usb1 gene function. Severe morphological defects, including a bent tail, thin yolk extension and reduced body length, were predominant in the Usb1-suppressed embryos (morphants). We also observed significantly decreased number of neutrophils in the morphants by Sudan Black staining. Interestingly, the splicing of genes involved in neutrophil differentiation and development, such as mpx, ncf1, ela3l and npsn, was aberrant in the morphants. However, the splicing of haematopoietic precursors and erythroid-specific genes was unaltered. Importantly, the neutrophil defects were almost completely rescued by co-injection of ela3l mRNA, the most markedly affected gene in the morphants. Our study demonstrated a possible role of USB1 in modulating the tissue-specific gene splicing that eventually leads to the impaired development of neutrophils. This zebrafish model could serve as a valuable tool to investigate the causative role of USB1 in PN pathogenesis.

description: This study employs deep learning techniques to introduce an innovative way of identifying Alzheimer’s disease early. Alzheimer’s disease affects millions of people worldwide; a degenerative neurological condition that requires early detection for efficient management and timely medical intervention. Deep learning is used in our method to reveal intricate patterns as well as abnormalities associated with the diseases using clinical data combined with huge databases of medical images like MRI and PET scans. By analysing these multimodal datasets systematically, our approach can potentially identify some early signs of Alzheimer’s disease, thereby helping doctors make more accurate and speedier diagnosis. Deep learning involvement in diagnosing Alzheimer's disease through the use of deep neural network (Deep Net) framework holds promise for improved patient outcomes as well as advancing understanding on this disorder by adopting early intervention and individualized treatment plans. Automated system development for Alzheimer’s disease detection through Deep Net requires consideration of procedures and factors in general. Here we present a new automated method for detecting MRI changes occurring due to AD. The MRI is analysed using Multi Scale Analysis (MSA) technique to determine its fractals at six different scales. A deep learning with Inceptionv3 classifier uses the extracted fractals as features to differentiate between brain MRIs from healthy brains and those having AD. By applying leave-one-out cross-validation technique, high classification accuracy, sensitivity, specificity was achieved in categorizing brain MRIs involving images of both healthy and AD-affected brains. The results indicate that radiologists may consider this approach as an effective means of screening AD.

The Role of "Regulated" Motor Carriers in Hauling Agricultural Commodities in Interstate Commerce

description: Excerpts from the report: Ever since motor carriers began to haul substantial volumes of agricultural commodities, there has been much interest in the relative tonnage moved by the motor carriers as well as railroads, the major volume hauler up to a few years ago. Some studies have explored truck volume and flow patterns, but few have dealt in detail with the so-called "regulated" motor carriers in regard to hauling agricultural products. Even though national statistics are lacking, available evidence indicates that the hauling of agriculture products, except for a few specific cases, will continue to be minor in the total scheme of the regulated motor carrier industry. However, 3 factors could change this situation. The first would be any change in Government laws, regulations, or policies affecting the operations of regulated motor carriers. Second is the continued growth of the private carriers. A third factor affecting the outlook, is the increase consolidations, mergers, and acquisitions taking place in the motor transportation industry.

description: We provide a theoretical characterization of the dynamical crossing of the superfluid-supersolid phase transition for a dipolar condensate confined in an elongated trap, as observed in the recent experiment by G. Biagioni et al. [Phys. Rev. X 12, 021019 (2022)]. By means of the extended Gross-Pitaevskii theory, which includes the Lee-Huang-Yang quantum fluctuation correction, we first analyze the ground state configurations of the system as a function of the interparticle scattering length, for both trap configurations employed in the experiment. Then, we discuss the effects of the ramp velocity, by which the scattering length is tuned across the transition, on the collective excitations of the system in both the superfluid and supersolid phases. We find that, when the transverse confinement is sufficiently strong and the transition has a smooth (continuous) character, the system essentially displays a (quasi) 1D behavior, its excitation dynamics being dominated by the axial breathing modes. Instead, for shallower transverse trapping, when the transition becomes discontinuous, the collective excitations of the supersolid display a coupling with the transverse modes, signalling the onset of a dimensional crossover.
