Stakeholder perspectives and MPA governance: a case study of Isla Lobos de Tierra, Peru

Creators: name: Pozo, Daniela Lainez Del
Publisher: name: F1000Research
Year: 2016

description: Isla Lobos de Tierra is a state-led MPA in Peru that hosts the largest seedbank of Peruvian scallops and protects what once was the most precious resource of the country: guano birds. Being an IUCN Category VI MPA it addresses conservation and sustainable use objectives simultaneously. Many researchers assert the divergence of these objectives is the major challenge to achieve effective MPA governance. This project researches this challenge analysing the understandings of stakeholders about conservation, sustainability and the validity of the MPA, and exploring how their perspectives relate to MPA governance. To this end I collected empirical data and developed a case study of the MPA using ethnographical and participatory rural appraisal methods. I found a perceived overall biodiversity decline in the last 3 decades, mainly driven by the onset of scallop trade and neo-liberal economies that brought new idiosyncrasies and extractivist perspectives to play. Given developmental pressures to increase fishing efforts and poor law enforcement, foreign fishers and their predatory activities expanded without regulation. Unsupported by the state and to avoid conflict, traditional fishers migrated to less sustainable fishing techniques or remained silent losing their ancestral stewardship of the island. What conserves the MPA now is a vague memory of the strict top-down approach that enforced protection during the Guano Age.

description: Digital storytelling is an art-based research method that has potential to engage mental health consumers and clinicians in dialogue about their lived experiences. However, few studies have examined the process of digital storytelling and people’s perspectives about making digital stories. In this article, a process evaluation framework is used to explore two digital storytelling workshops conducted with mental health consumers and clinicians. Project planning and implementation documents were collated, and interviews conducted with workshop participants thematically analyzed. Data were combined with facilitator reflections and are reported using a process evaluation framework. Findings indicate that the digital storytelling process is a useful research method that can be used to create a space where power differentials between consumers and clinicians are made visible and shared dialogue can develop. Recommendations from the study include the importance of employing skilled consumer and clinician support personnel to guide the process of participation and negotiate ethical tensions to ensure participant safety.

description: Sliding ferroelectricity was originally proposed to elucidate the out-of-plane polarization generated by a specific stacking arrangement of non-polar van der Waals layers. However, the concept of sliding ferroelectricity can be generalized to more geometries. Here, the NbI$_4$ bulk is theoretical demonstrated as a quasi-one-dimensional sliding ferroelectric material, which exhibits a polarization of $0.11$ $μ$C/cm$^2$ perpendicular to the Nb's chains. The most possible ferroelectric switching path is found to be via the interchain sliding along the chain direction, while other paths like Peierls-dimerization of Nb pairs may also work. Moreover, its polarization can be augmented for $82\%$ by hydrostatic pressure up to $10$ GPa, beyond which NbI$_4$ becomes a polar metal. In addition, the negative longitudinal piezoelectricity is also predicted.

Handling Missing Observations With Multiple Imputation

Year: 2016
Subjects: multiple imputation; population totals

description: Missing observations are unavoidable in long-standing monitoring projects. Currently the Underhill (Underhill & Prys-Jones 1994) or birdSTATs indices (van der Meij 2013) are frequently used in ornithology. However both approaches underestimate the confidence intervals. Instead, we propose multiple imputation (Rubin 1987), the standard in medical and social science, but hardly known in ecology. Our analysis provides insight on the nature of the problems with the Underhill and birdSTATs indices and demonstrates the value of multiple imputation.

Besides a short theoretical introduction, we will present our “multimput” package (Onkelinx et al 2016). This is a free and open-source R package (R Core Team 2016) which is available at https://github. com/inbo-BMK/multimput. The “multimput” package has several benefits:

1. It allows flexible modelling of both the counts at individual sites (required for the imputation) and of the population totals.

2. The models allow for covariates, hence seasonal effects resulting from multiple visits per site can be handled properly.

3. Several probability distributions (e. g. Poisson and negative binomial) are available.

description: Treatment of BRAF mutant melanoma with kinase inhibitors has been associated with rapid tumor regression; however, this clinical benefit is short-lived, and most patients relapse. A number of studies suggest that the extracellular environment promotes BRAF inhibitor resistance and tumor progression. Extracellular vesicles, such as exosomes, are functional mediators in the extracellular environment. They are small vesicles known to carry a concentrated group of functional cargo and serve as intercellular communicators not only locally but also systemically. Increasingly, it is reported that extracellular vesicles facilitate the development of drug resistance in cancer; however, their role in BRAF inhibitor resistance in melanoma is unclear. Here we investigated if extracellular vesicles from BRAF inhibitor–resistant melanoma could influence drug sensitivity in recipient melanoma cells. We demonstrate that the resistance driver, PDGFRβ can be transferred to recipient melanoma cells via extracellular vesicles, resulting in a dose-dependent activation of PI3K/AKT signaling and escape from MAPK pathway BRAF inhibition. These data suggest that the BRAF inhibitor–sensitive phenotype of metastatic melanoma can be altered by delivery of PDGFRβ by extracellular vesicles derived from neighboring drug-resistant melanoma cells.

description: Lanfranco per le Scintille di musica (1533) dichiara di scegliere la lingua italiana comune, non un’aulica lingua toscana. Riferisce l’intonazione di diversi cordofoni e magnifica l’eccellenza di liutai e organari bresciani. La famiglia delle «violette» (= violini) è teorizzata in parallelo con Agricola, Ganassi, Jambe de Fer, Zacconi, Praetorius. Egli tratta la classificazione degli strumenti e analizza la scala dell’arpa diatonica e soprattutto quella delle tastiere, da un lato usando la terminologia della scala vocale e dall’altro ricorrendo al calcolo degli intervalli. Chiama «monochordo», oltre quello antico, il clavicordo; quest’ultimo termine, usato da Zwolle, Virdung, Agricola, allora era sconosciuto in Italia; particolari costruttivi dello strumento si trovano riportati, oltre che da Zwolle, anche da Paulirinus Anselmi, Burzio. Delle tastiere Lanfranco tratta l’estensione e i «tasti neri» anche intesi come «musica fitta» (= ficta). Propone un temperamento inequabile empirico ottenuto col «participare» approssimativamente le consonanze pitagoriche. Una linea teorica unisce Lanfranco ad altri autori come Beldomandi, Hothby, Johannes Gallicus, Pareja, Gaffurio, Spataro, Schlick, Aron.

description: Plasmonic devices offer the possibility of passively detecting changes in local chemistry that opens up a wide range of applications from molecular sensing to monitoring water quality. Conventional plasmonics have previously shown great promise as nanoscale chemical sensors through detection of small variations in the local refractive index (RI). The motivation behind using plasmonics for these applications includes the fact that detection is entirely passive and the devices themselves can be readily miniaturized. Previously, a lack of any control over the output of these devices, has fundamentally limited their application to chemicals which produce clearly identifiable resonances within the range of detection. Here it is demonstrated that microfluidic devices, incorporating polarization-controlled plasmonic nanopixels, allow the device response to be tuned to the particular analyte of interest, anywhere within the visible spectrum. This dramatically increases the effective dynamic range and allows local variations in RI to be perceived directly as color changes by the human eye. Active control over the output of the device also enables clear differentiation between a number of different analytes, paving the way for plasmonics to be used for a wide range of real-world chemical sensing applications.

description: Music print dedications in Renaissance Brescia and Bergamo offer clues about publication underwriting. Dedications also suggest other motivations for publication: tribute, employment portfolio, creative archive, commercial venture or liturgical embellishment. Print dedication (and presumably patronage) by minor nobility of Bergamo and Brescia reveals local trends in the growth of musical patronage and its spread among neighbors and political allies. The pattern from this limited region offers an archetype for understanding the rapid growth and burgeoning popularity of printed music in the sixteenth century.

description: Under President Vladimir Putin, Russia’s ties to Venezuela have grown notably warmer, while its relations with Cuba have cooled. Putin clearly appreciates President Hugo Chavez’s anti-American policy and rhetoric far more than similar expressions by Fidel Castro. As this suggests, shared anti-American interests are not enough to explain Putin’s policies toward either leader or country. Russia, though, has developed very different economic relationships with Venezuela and Cuba. This appears to explain Putin’s warmth toward Chavez and his lack of it toward Castro.

description: STING is an innate immune cytosolic adaptor for DNA sensors that engage malaria parasite (Plasmodium falciparum) or other pathogen DNA. As P. falciparum infects red blood cells and not leukocytes, how parasite DNA reaches such host cytosolic DNA sensors in immune cells is unclear. Here we show that malaria parasites inside red blood cells can engage host cytosolic innate immune cell receptors from a distance by secreting extracellular vesicles (EV) containing parasitic small RNA and genomic DNA. Upon internalization of DNA-harboring EVs by human monocytes, P. falciparum DNA is released within the host cell cytosol, leading to STING-dependent DNA sensing. STING subsequently activates the kinase TBK1, which phosphorylates the transcription factor IRF3, causing IRF3 to translocate to the nucleus and induce STING-dependent gene expression. This DNA-sensing pathway may be an important decoy mechanism to promote P. falciparum virulence and thereby may affect future strategies to treat malaria.

description: Background: This study aims to examine the prevalence and predictors associated with self-medication, and related consequences in Wuhan, China. Methods: Two-hundred-sixty residents were interviewed from randomly selected four districts of Wuhan, China. A modified version of Anderson’s health behavioral model was used in the survey to collect information of self-medication behavior. Multivariable logistic regression analyses were used to measure correlates of the prevalence of self-medication. Results: Nearly half of the respondents would select self-medication, and 39.1% would see a doctor if they felt sick. The most common self-medicated illnesses were cold and cough, cardiovascular disease and gastrointestinal disease. The main reasons for self-medication were that the illness was not severe (enough) to see the doctor (45%); the patient did not think that the trouble of seeing a doctor was worth the effort (23%); the patient had no time to see the doctor (12%), and the patient did not want to pay high medical costs (15%). Logistic regression results suggested that respondents tended to select self-medication if the illness was minor or short-term (less than seven days). Conclusions: Our findings suggest that more strict regulation on over-the-counter medicines may be required to reduce health risks related to self-medication. Targeted health education on the risks of self-medication should be considered.

description: The cellular localisation of many innate signalling events following viral infection has yet to be elucidated, however there has been a few cases in which membranes of certain cellular organelles have acted as platforms to these events. Of these, lipid droplets (LDs) have recently been identified as signalling platforms for innate TLR7 and 9 signalling. Despite their wide range of similar roles in various metabolic pathways, LDs have been overlooked as potential platforms for antiviral innate signalling events. This study established an in vitro model to evaluate the efficiency of the early innate immune response in cells with reduced LD content to the viral mimics, dsDNA and dsRNA, and Sendai viral infection. Using RT-qPCR, the expression of IFN-β and IFN-λ was quantified following stimulation along with the expression of specific ISGs. Luciferase based assays evaluated the combined expression of ISRE-promoter driven ISGs under IFN-β stimulation. Cellular LD content did not alter the entry of fluorescently labelled viral mimics into cells, but significantly decreased the ability of both Huh-7 and HeLa cells to produce type I and III IFN, as well as downstream ISG expression, indicative of an impeded innate immune response. This observation was also seen during Sendai virus infection of HeLa cells, where both control and LD reduced cells replicated the virus to the same level, but a significantly impaired type I and III IFN response was observed in the LD reduced cells. In addition to altered IFN production, cells with reduced LD content exhibited decreased expression of specific antiviral ISGs: Viperin, IFIT-1 and OAS-1 under IFN-β stimulation; However the overall induction of the ISRE-promoter was not effected. This study implicates a role for LDs in an efficient early innate host response to viral infection and future work will endeavour to determine the precise role these important organelles play in induction of an antiviral response.

description: Agricultural land use is one of the dominant land use types in South Asia (SA). A majority of SA population depends on agriculture for their livelihood. The agricultural activities and food production in SA are tightly related to the poverty level in many SA countries and has broader impact on global food security, climate change, economics, etc. To feed the growing population in SA with most of the land suitable for agriculture already cultivated, crop intensification and transitions from traditional agriculture to non-crop, cash crops, and fishery are expected. These land use and land cover changes have profound impact on the regional and global food security and economics. Thus, timely producing agricultural land use data products with remote sensing technique are very important to achieve sustainable agriculture and monitoring such agriculture land use changes. However, the application of remote sensing in SA faces many challenges, e.g., persistent high cloud covers during monsoon seasons, very limited availability of ground truth samples, and excessively small and irregularly shaped agriculture fields, etc. Thus, this dissertation study aims to design algorithms and tools to help monitoring agriculture land use changes in SA using remote sensing images and provide insight on addressing such challenges. As Google Earth Engine (GEE) is becoming increasingly popular in the remote sensing community, this dissertation also explores utilizing GEE’s potential for operational agriculture mapping and designing complex data processing workflows. To achieve the overall goal, this dissertation presents research for three objectives. Specifically, this dissertation first presents a novel workflow for inland fishpond mapping using spectral and spatial information derived from remote sensing images. This workflow was implemented on GEE and was tested in a case study in Singra Upazila in Bangladesh. The results showed that the method successfully detects fishponds with an F1 score of 0.64. Next, a GEE-based workflow that combines MODIS Terra and Aqua data and uses Harmonic Regression to reconstruct time-series Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI) for crop intensity mapping was presented. The method was used for crop intensity mapping in Bangladesh 2010 and showed a national average crop intensity of 1.66. Lastly, a GEE-based web application named RiceMapEngine was developed to provide a one-stop experience of rice mapping to higher-level officials and decision makers. This application was demonstrated in rice mapping for Chitwan district in Nepal. The result showed that this application can successfully help produce early-season and post-season rice maps using GEE with very easy-to-use interfaces.

description: Breast cancer is not preventable because of its unknown causes. However, its early diagnosis increases patients' recovery chances. Machine learning (ML) can be utilized to improve treatment outcomes in healthcare operations while diminishing costs and time. In this research, we suggest two novel feature selection (FS) methods based upon an imperialist competitive algorithm (ICA) and a bat algorithm (BA) and their combination with ML algorithms. This study aims to enhance diagnostic models' efficiency and present a comprehensive analysis to help clinical physicians make much more precise and reliable decisions than before. K-nearest neighbors, support vector machine, decision tree, Naive Bayes, AdaBoost, linear discriminant analysis, random forest, logistic regression, and artificial neural network are some of the methods employed. This paper applied a distinctive integration of evaluation measures and ML algorithms using the wrapper feature selection based on ICA (WFSIC) and BA (WFSB) separately. We compared two proposed approaches for the performance of the classifiers. Also, we compared our best diagnostic model with previous works reported in the literature survey. Experimentations were performed on the Wisconsin diagnostic breast cancer dataset. Results reveal that the proposed framework that uses the BA with an accuracy of 99.12\%, surpasses the framework using the ICA and most previous works. Additionally, the RF classifier in the approach of FS based on BA emerges as the best model and outperforms others regarding its criteria. Besides, the results illustrate the role of our techniques in reducing the dataset dimensions up to 90\% and increasing the performance of diagnostic models by over 99\%. Moreover, the result demonstrates that there are more critical features than the optimum dataset obtained by proposed FS approaches that have been selected by most ML models.

In odore di ‘brescianità’: meditando sull’autografia dell’E.504 del Musée de la Musique di Parigi
Creators: name: Bugini, Elena
Publisher: name: Pavia University Press - Edizioni dell'Università degli Studi di Pavia
Year: 2016

description: L’assegnazione tradizionale della viola da gamba E.504 del Musée de la Musique di Parigi ad un intervento del 1547 del liutaio monclarense Pellegrino di Zanetto Micheli, si fonda su quanto dichiarato dall’etichetta interna, in realtà palesemente falsa. Il saggio ambisce ad individuare, nella veste decorativa dello strumento, le bizzarrie che, patenti eccentricità rispetto ai molti echi della supposta, prestigiosa scuola d’appartenenza, costituiscono un primo avvallo dello storico dell’arte allo scetticismo degli studiosi della liuteria antica circa l’autenticità dello strumento come dichiarata dall’etichetta.

Insiemi strumentali a Santa Maria in Castello di Adro e in altri affreschi del Bresciano
Creators: name: Mauri Vigevani, Laura
Publisher: name: Pavia University Press - Edizioni dell'Università degli Studi di Pavia
Year: 2016

description: Sono esaminati affreschi di Santa Maria in Castello di Adro, Santa Maria Assunta a Gussago, Santa Maria dei campi a Travagliato (opera di Vincenzo Civerchio), San Pietro a Coccaglio e Santa Maria Assunta a Esine (attribuiti a Giovan Pietro da Cemmo). In tutte queste opere la scelta e la collocazione degli strumenti musicali non sono affatto casuali, non dipendono unicamente da criteri compositivi estetici né si limitano a riprodurre frammenti di pratica musicale contemporanea. Si mostra come gli insiemi strumentali raffigurati non costituiscono un semplice, forse pleonastico commento a margine del soggetto principale, bensì sono coprotagonisti del racconto figurativo e concorrono in modo peculiare a esprimerne il significato.

description: This thesis describes a method for efficient summarization of long surveillance videos. The method consists of four phases: ground plane calibration, detection and tracking of scene objects, extracting information about objects in the scene, generating and visualizing the summarizations. The method assumes a static camera. Both extrinsic parameters— 3D position and orientation, and intrinsic parameters—focal length, principal point, lens distortion of the camera are unknown. Ground plane calibration is achieved by computing a homography [1] between the scene and corresponding location in Google Earth. Detection and tracking are based on techniques described in [2,3]. Planar homography and single view metrology [4, 5] are used to calculate widths, heights, position and speed of objects in the scene. The method generates video summarization for video sequence by choosing a single image of each tracked object and overlaying it on the background image. The method chooses images of tracked objects in a way to minimize the overlap between them. For each tracked object its trajectory is shown as a sequence of vectors corresponding to object motion between successive frames. The method generates video synopsis—a summary of all activity for specified period of time. Since speeds and sizes of objects are calculated, the method also generates sequences using various combinations of object properties.
«Vaghe bellezze»: decorazione e musica in antichi libri e curiosi arredi lignei del primo Cinquecento bresciano
Creators: name: Bonfadini, Paola
Publisher: name: Pavia University Press - Edizioni dell'Università degli Studi di Pavia
Year: 2016

description: L’articolo illustra i documenti esistenti relativi alla musica e alla decorazione in antichi libri a stampa e nella cosiddetta “pittura lignea d’arredo”, dipinta da artisti locali per Brescia e la sua provincia all’inizio del Rinascimento. Alcuni interessanti esemplari presso la Biblioteca Civica Queriniana sono tre trattati musicali con eleganti iniziali xilografiche: la Practica musicae di Franchino Gaffurio (Brescia 1497 1508) e la Musica Plutarchi (Brescia 1507). Strette analogie possono essere individuate con codici liturgici coevi realizzati da “scriptoria” locali come quello del Duomo Vecchio o del convento di San Giuseppe. Inoltre, all’inizio del sedicesimo secolo la decorazione su piccole tavole di legno quadrangolari o rettangolari (“tavolette” o “formelle”) dei soffitti di palazzi quali Palazzo Bona Averoldi o Palazzo Federici a Cemmo di Capo di Ponte riproduce immagini di musicisti e di strumenti musicali. Un simile stile è stato influenzato sia dai manoscritti miniati sia dalle incisioni di Mantegna e della sua scuola. Questa particolare produzione rivela affascinanti sorprese e utili informazioni riguardo le arti applicate nel territorio bresciano durante l’età del Rinascimento.

The good, the (not so) bad and the ugly of immune homeostasis in melanoma

description: Within the immune system multiple mechanisms balance the need for efficient pathogen recognition and destruction with the prevention of tissue damage by excessive, inappropriate or even self-targeting (auto)immune reactions. This immune homeostasis is a tightly regulated system which fails during tumor development, often due to the hijacking of its essential self-regulatory mechanisms by cancer cells. It is facilitated not only by tumor intrinsic properties, but also by the microbiome, host genetics and other factors. In certain ways many cancers can therefore be considered a rare failure of immune control rather than an uncommon or rare disease of the tissue of origin, as the acquisition of potentially oncogenic traits through mutation occurs constantly in most tissues during proliferation. Normally, aberrant cells are well-controlled by cell intrinsic (repair or apoptosis) and extrinsic (immune) mechanisms. However, occasionally oncogenic cells survive and escape control. Melanoma is one of the first cancer types where treatments aimed at restoring and enhancing an immune response to regain control over the tumor have been used with various success rates. With the advent of “modern” immunotherapeutics such as anti-CTLA-4 or anti-PD-1 antibodies that both target negative immune-regulatory pathways on immune cells resulting in durable responses in a proportion of patients, the importance of the interplay between the immune system and cancer has been established beyond doubt.

description: Antimicrobial peptides are widespread in nature and are produced by many organisms as a first line of defence against pathogens. These peptides have a broad range of biological activities, such as antibacterial or antifungal activities and act with varied mechanisms of action. A large number of the peptides are amphipathic α-helices which act by disrupting plasma membranes and allowing leakage of intracellular contents. However, some peptides have more complex mechanisms of action that require internalisation into the target organisms’ cytoplasm. The method by which these peptides enter the cytoplasm varies, with some requiring the energy dependent processes of endocytosis or polyamine transport and others entering via passive transport. Here we describe the mechanism that the antimicrobial peptide, the plant defensin NaD1, uses to transverse the fungal membrane and gain access to the fungal cytoplasm. By inhibiting ATP synthesis and using an inhibitor of actin polymerisation, we show that NaD1 is internalised into C. albicans yeast cells by the energy-dependent process of endocytosis.
