description: Knowledge about the influence of early developmental factors on cardiometabolic health in the Maya is limited. To analyse the relationship between birthweight (BW) and cardiometabolic parameters in a sample of rural Maya children from Yucatan, Mexico. We took anthropometric measurements and obtained data on BW and fasting blood samples in a sample of 75 children aged 5–14 years. Dependent variables were: fat mass index (FMI), body mass index (BMI), glucose (G), triglycerides (TG), total cholesterol (TC), high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL), low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL), LDL/HDL and TC/HDL ratios and metabolic index (TGxG/HDL2). Outcomes were transformed to y = 100 log(e)x and the resulting estimates are interpreted as symmetrical percentage differences. The main independent variable was BW z-score. Multiple linear regression analyses were used to assess the relationship between BW and outcomes. An increase of one standard deviation in BW predicted 6.6% (95% CI [–11.6, −1.6]) decrease in HDL and 11% (95% CI [3.7, 18.4]), 7.8% (95% CI [2.3, 13.2]) and 19.6% (95% CI [3.1, 36]) increases in LDL/HDL, TC/HDL and metabolic index, respectively. Higher birthweights were associated with adverse levels of biochemical parameters in this sample of rural Maya children.

description: Supernumerary teats (SNT) are any abnormal teats found on a calf in addition to the usual and functional 4 teats. The presence of SNT has also been termed "hyperthelia" since the end of the 19th century. Supernumerary teats can act as an incubator for bacteria, infecting the whole udder, and can interfere with the positioning of the milking machine, and consequently, have economic relevance. Different types of SNT are observed at different positions on the udder. Caudal teats are in the rear, ramal teats are attached to another teat, and intercalary teats are found between 2 regular teats. Not all teats are equally developed; some are completely functional but most are rudimentary and not attached to any mammary gland tissue. Recently, different studies showed the poly/oligogenic character of these malformations in cattle as well as in other mammalian species. The objective of this study was to analyze the genetic architecture and incidence of hyperthelia in Swiss Brown Swiss cattle using both traditional genetic evaluation as well as imputed whole genome sequence variant information. First, phenotypes collected over the last 20 yr were used together with pedigree information for estimation of genetic variance. Second, breeding values of Brown Swiss bulls were estimated applying the BLUP algorithm. The BLUP-EBV were deregressed and used as phenotypes in genome-wide association studies. The gene LGR5 on chromosome 5 was identified as a candidate for the presence of SNT. Using alternative trait coding, genomic regions on chromosome 17 and 20 were also identified as being involved in the development of SNT with their own supernumerary mammary gland tissue. Implementing knowledge gained in this study as a routine application allows a more accurate evaluation of the trait and reduction of SNT prevalence in the Swiss Brown Swiss cattle population.

description: Network governance may strike a balance between democratic participation (input-legitimacy) and efficiency and effectiveness (output-legitimacy) of policy processes and thus can enhance the acceptance of policy reforms. This article aims at an appraisal of network governance in Swiss forest policy by uncovering its current structure and by describing the experiences in terms of legitimacy and concerning how this is perceived by the actors involved. Although network governance is common in Switzerland, as an early coordination of stakeholders is required due to strong veto points later in the political process, more progressive participatory procedures have recently been introduced to these networks. Based on expert interviews and a social network analysis derived from an online survey, we confirm that the core of the Swiss forest policy network includes only a handful of actors. These actors are relatively satisfied with the current approach and some of them decline a further strengthening of participatory elements. Particularly the forest economic as well as the actors representing the sub-national jurisdictions (cantons) are well connected with other actors from forest industry, but still they perceive their influence as not being adequate. The environmental NGOs, in contrast, judge their influence more positively, albeit they coordinate mostly with each other and with the national administration. Although the networks do not engage legislative actors very closely at the time of analysis, probably because forest policy reform has already settled the more fundamental questions, the forest policy network nonetheless seems well embedded in the democratic process.

description: Research has shown that cultural activities may bring about improved health. However, large-scale quantitative analyses on cultural engagement and biomarkers are lacking to date. As a result, the mechanisms through which cultural activities may be associated with health are unclear. Test quantitative associations between cultural engagement pattern (including active and passive engagement in arts, sports, and heritage activities) and indicators of biological dysregulation in a large dataset. Understanding Society data were used to conduct cross-sectional linear regression analyses between a data-driven latent class model of cultural engagement and indicators of anthropometric, cardiovascular, metabolic, immune, and neuroendocrine function. Analyses were adjusted for age, gender, ethnicity, childcare responsibility, urbanicity, leisure time satisfaction, capacity-related factors, socioeconomic position, social and economic capital indicators, physical activity, and medication use. More culturally participants had better indicators of biological health, such as lower waist circumference and fibrinogen blood concentration. Specific associations between cultural engagement pattern and the different biological outcomes were also observed. The associations were explained in part by correlated factors (accounting for around half of the association). Cultural engagement is cross-sectionally associated with biomarkers, although the characteristics of people who engage with culture are an important consideration when interpreting these findings.
Characterisation of memory circuit dynamics in a mouse model of Alzheimer's disease
Creators: name: Prado, Seigfred
Publisher: name: Imperial College London
Year: 2024

description: Alzheimer’s disease (AD), the leading cause of dementia, progressively impairs cognitive functions, particularly memory. Amyloid-beta plaques, a key hallmark of AD, contribute to neural dysfunction, yet their impact on hippocampal circuits, essential for memory, is not fully understood. Translating animal model findings into human therapies has been challenging due to limited knowledge of AD’s effect on hippocampal-cortical networks. This thesis investigates amyloid-beta pathology’s influence on spatial memory circuits in the 5xFAD mouse model. Using two-photon calcium imaging, serial two-photon tomography (STPT), and neural manifold learning (NML), this research explores how plaques impact hippocampal network structure and function during memory encoding and recall. By mapping neural activity at single-cell resolution, the study compares wild-type and AD mouse models, revealing how plaques affect neural excitability, spatial coding, and network stability. Key findings show disrupted hippocampal circuit dynamics in AD mice, evidenced by abnormal neural excitability and altered spatial memory patterns. NML techniques highlight differences in the neural manifolds between healthy and AD-affected mice, with AD mice showing reduced stability and decodability of memory-related representations. These changes correlate with spatial and working memory deficits, connecting circuit disruptions to cognitive impairment. This study enhances understanding of amyloid-beta’s network-level effects, bridging molecular pathology with neural circuit dynamics. It provides a foundation for developing targeted therapies and early diagnostic biomarkers for AD. Additionally, it demonstrates neural manifold analysis as a promising tool to quantitatively assess circuit dysfunction, supporting future research and clinical trials aimed at alleviating AD’s impact.

description: Motor performances of youth are related to growth and maturity status, among other factors. To estimate the contribution of skeletal maturity status per se to the motor performances of female athletes aged 10–15 years and the mediation effects of growth status on the relationships. Skeletal age (TW3 RUS SA), body size, proportions, estimated fat-free mass (FFM), motor performances, training history and participation motivation were assessed in 80 non-skeletally mature female participants in several sports. Hierarchical and regression-based statistical mediation analyses were used. SA per se explained a maximum of 1.8% and 5.8% of the variance in motor performances of athletes aged 10–12 and 13–15 years, respectively, over and above that explained by covariates. Body size, proportions, and hours per week of training and participation motivation explained, respectively, a maximum of 40.7%, 18.8%, and 22.6% of the variance in performances. Mediation analysis indicated specific indirect effects of SA through stature and body mass, alone or in conjunction with FFM on performances. SA per se accounted for small and non-significant amounts of variance in several motor performances of female youth athletes; rather, SA influenced performances indirectly through effects on stature, body mass and estimated FFM.

description: The COVID-19 pandemic has challenged the Swiss mental healthcare system. Many services were downsized or closed, and admission to treatment and care institutions was restricted during lockdown. These measures were necessary according to the general containment and mitigation strategies of federal and cantonal authorities, but this situation has had negative consequences for care and treatment of service users. This paper asks for a rethink of key aspects of the Swiss mental healthcare system that have been demonstrated not to be adaptable to the pandemic. In particular, the paper suggests diversifying care and treatment settings, and strengthening outpatient and outreach services. Finally, some proposals to foster social inclusion during and after the pandemic are outlined.

description: The charity foundation Association Soutien Enfants Togo started a child health care (CHC) centre in Togo that was modelled after the Dutch high-quality CHC system to improve child health. To describe health care data of children who visited the centre. Data were routinely collected between October 2010-July 2017. Outcomes were completed vaccinations, growth, development, lifestyle, physical examination, and laboratory testing results. In total, 8,809 children aged 0–24 years were available. Half (47.5%) of children aged 0–4 years did not receive all eligible free vaccinations from the government. The proportions of stunted children (all) or with a developmental delay (0–4 years) were 10.1% and 9.5%, respectively. In total, 40–50% of all children did not wash their hands with soap after toilet or before eating, or did not use clean drinking water. Furthermore, 5.1–6.6% had insufficient vision, high eye pressure or hearing loss. Sickle cell disease was detected in 5.3%. A large group of children in need of prevention and early treatment were detected, informed and treated by the centre. Further research is needed to confirm if this strategy can improve children’s health in Sub-Saharan Africa. Our data are available for further research.

description: Purpose: Cell therapy is a promising treatment for retinal pigment epithelium (RPE)- associated eye diseases such as age-related macular degeneration. Herein, selective microsecond laser irradiation targeting RPE cells was used for minimally invasive, large- area RPE removal in preparation for delivery of retinal cell therapeutics. Methods: Ten rabbit eyes were exposed to laser pulses 8, 12, 16, and 20 μs in duration (wavelength, 532 nm; top-hat beam profile, 223 × 223 μm2). Post-irradiation retinal changes were assessed with fluorescein angiography (FA), indocyanine green angiogra- phy (ICGA), and optical coherence tomography (OCT). RPE viability was evaluated with an angiographic probit model. Following vitrectomy, a subretinal injection of balanced salt solution was performed over a lasered (maximum 13.6 mm2) and untreated control area. Bleb retinal detachment (bRD) morphology was then evaluated by intraoperative OCT. Results: Within 1 hour after irradiation, laser lesions showed FA and ICGA leakage. OCT revealed that large-area laser damagewas limited to the RPE. The angiographic median effective dose irradiation thresholds (ED50)were45μJ(90 mJ/cm2)at8μs,52μJ(104 mJ/cm2) at 12 μs, 59 μJ (118 mJ/cm2)at16μs,and71μJ(142mJ/cm2) at 20 μs. Subretinal injection over the lasered area resulted in a controlled, shallowbRD rise, whereas control blebs were convex in shape, with less predictable spread. Conclusions: Large-area, laser-based removal ofhost RPEwithout visible photoreceptor damage is possible and facilitates surgical retinal detachment. Translational Relevance: Selective microsecond laser-based, large-area RPE removal prior to retinal cell therapy may reduce iatrogenic trauma. Introduction

description: Pastoralists live in challenging environments, which may be accompanied by unique activity, energy, and water requirements. Few studies have examined whether the demands of pastoralism contribute to differences in total energy expenditure (TEE) and water turnover (WT) compared to other lifestyles. Accelerometer-derived physical activity, doubly labelled water-derived TEE and WT, and anthropometric data were collected for 34 semi-nomadic Daasanach adults from three northern Kenyan communities with different levels of pastoralist activity. Daasanach TEEs and WTs were compared to those of other small-scale and industrialised populations. When modelled as a function of fat-free-mass, fat-mass, age, and sex, TEE did not differ between Daasanach communities. Daasanach TEE (1564–4172 kcal/day) was not significantly correlated with activity and 91% of TEEs were within the range expected for individuals from comparison populations. Mean WT did not differ between Daasanach communities; Daasanach absolute (7.54 litres/day men; 7.46 litres/day women), mass-adjusted, and TEE-adjusted WT was higher than most populations worldwide. The similar mass-adjusted TEE of Daasanach and industrialised populations supports the hypothesis that habitual TEE is constrained, with physically demanding lifestyles necessitating trade-offs in energy allocation. Elevated WT in the absence of elevated TEE likely reflects a demanding active lifestyle in a hot, arid climate.

description: The integration of ecosystem services (ESS) in life cycle assessment (LCA) poses two main challenges: (1) how to integrate ESS within LCA, and (2) how to quantify the delivery of ESS. Several approaches have been proposed to integrate ESS in LCA: using multiple functional units, allocation to ESS, system expansion and introducing additional indicators. Some ESS are already directly or indirectly covered in LCA impact categories, while others remain to be added. The methods SALCA-biodiversity, SALCA-soil quality and the newly developed SALCA-landscape aesthetics will be applied to assess the environmental impacts and ESS from three grassland-based dairy production systems in Switzerland.

The text in Goeze's work is reproduced in Fig. 3. The word " Einstreife " may be a neologism by Goeze which is unknown to me, but its meaning is clearly " the beetle with one stria ". Goeze refers to Geoffroy and simply reproduces his short Latin text. Neither an additional description nor a locality is given.
It is noteworthy that Goeze (l.c. p. 624) gives Dytiscus parvulus O.F. Müller as a different valid species (see Fig. 4). It is very likely that Goeze himself did not study specimens of most of the taxa mentioned in his work. He lists (at least in the insects part, pp. 605–627) taxa which he has found in works of Geoffroy, Fabricius, O.F. Müller etc. and gives for each taxon at least one reference (see also the "Vorrede" [= Preface] in Goeze 1777). Nevertheless, by this he made some names available which before were unavailable because they had not previously been described according to the rules of the ICZN (1999).
Since Goeze refers to Geoffroy's " le ditique à une seule strie " and gives no additional locality, the syntype series as well as the type locality ("Paris environs") of Geoffroy's and of Goeze's taxon are the same. Goeze's name is—like those of Geoffroy and O.F. Müller—a nomen dubium.
On the other hand, since it cannot be definitely excluded that Goeze had studied material of unistriatus, I searched intensively for his material. According to Evenhuis (1997: 320) some parts of Goeze's collection came to the University of Pavia (MSNUP) and "other specimens were purchased by Hunter and may now be in HMUG." Goeze (1792) gives a list of the objects of his collection. The insects are listed on pp. 71–73 and among them (p. 72) one vial with water beetle larvae in alcohol and another vial with water beetles (namely Dytiscus marginalis L.). Trolldenier (2013) has studied the collection of Goeze as it is preserved in the MSNUP, but he reports no vials with insects. Originally, 278 vials came to Pavia of which only 131 are still present in the museum. According to Trolldenier (l.c. p. 75) John Hunter's offer to acquire Goeze's collection came too late. Thus, it is likely that all parts of the collection came to Pavia, including the insects. Unfortunately, requests at the MSNUP and the HMUG for Goeze's type material were unsuccessful.

Fano varieties and machine learning

description: Algebraic geometry is the study of geometrical shapes defined as solutions to polynomial equations -- algebraic varieties. Amongst varieties, the positively curved ones -- Fano varieties -- distinguish themselves for their importance: they can be considered the building blocks of algebraic geometry. A new approach to the classification of Fano varieties comes from mirror symmetry and involves an invariant called the quantum period. This is a sequence of integers giving a numerical fingerprint for a Fano variety. In this thesis, we approach questions in the classification of Fano varieties using both traditional mathematics and a novel methodology informed by machine learning. In the first part, we build accurate machine learning models that predict the dimension of certain Fano varieties from their quantum period. Guided by the models, we can establish rigorous asymptotic formulae for the quantum period making the dependence on the dimension clear. This result is proof-of-concept of two main ideas: firstly how the machine learning models can guide intuition in formulating rigorous mathematical statements. Moreover, it gives positive evidence for the conjecture that the quantum period carries geometric information about the variety. Secondly, we use machine learning differently. When classifying Fano varieties, we have to admit objects with some bad points, called terminal singularities. Verifying such a condition is fundamental, but challenging. We develop an accurate neural network that predicts whether certain (nicely behaved) Fano varieties have terminal singularities. We use this classifier to accelerate computer algebra routines, to generate the first sketch of the landscape of this class of Fanos. Inspired by this, we formulate and prove a new combinatorial criterion for checking if this class of Fanos has terminal singularities. Together with the first sketch of their landscape, this gives strong evidence that machine learning can be essential in accelerating theoretical discovery.

description: Objectives Activities that provoke stress urinary incontinence (SUI) rapidly increase the intra-abdominal pressure and the impact loading on the pelvic floor muscles (PFMs). Coughing can cause urinary leakage and is often used to test SUI. However, PFM characteristics during coughing, including their reliability, have not been investigated. Here, we used electromyography (EMG) to describe PFM pre-activity and reflexivity during coughing and examined the reliability of the measurements. Methods This was an exploratory and reliability study including 11 young healthy women to characterize EMG reflex activity in PFMs during coughing. We describe 6 variables, averaged over 3 coughs per subject, and tested their reliability (intraclass correlation coefficient 3,1 [ICC(3,1)] and ICC(3,k), related standard error of measurement (SEM) and minimal difference [MD]). The variables represented the mean EMG activity for PFMs during 30-ms time intervals of pre-activity (initial time point of coughing [T0] and minus 30 ms) and reflex activity (T0–30, 30–60, 60–90, 90–120 and 120–150 ms after T0) of stretch-reflex latency responses. Results The mean %EMG (normalized to maximal voluntary PFM contraction) for EMG variables was 35.1 to 52.2 and was significantly higher during coughing than for PFM activity at rest (mean 24.9 ± 3.7%EMG; P < 0.05). ICC(3,k) ranged from 0.67 to 0.91 (SEM 6.1–13.3%EMG and MD 16.7–36.8%EMG) and was higher than ICC(3,1) (range 0.40–0.77; SEM 9.0–18.0%EMG, MD 24.9–50.0%EMG). Conclusions PFM activity during reflex latency response time intervals during coughing was significantly higher than at rest, which suggests PFM pre-activity and reflex activity during coughing. Although we standardized coughing, EMG variables for PFM activity showed poor reliability [good to excellent ICC(3,k) and fair to excellent ICC(3,1) but high SEM and MD]. Therefore, coughing is expected to be heterogeneous, with low reliability, in clinical test situations. Potential crosstalk from other muscles involved in coughing could limit the interpretation of our results.

description: Very low birthweight (VLBW) infants are at risk for growth failure and poor neurodevelopment. Optimised parenteral nutrition may help promote optimal growth and development, but concerns that provision of enhanced nutrition may contribute to increased early adiposity and later metabolic disease remain. To determine associations between provision of an early enhanced parenteral nutrition protocol or standard parenteral nutrition protocol and growth and body composition for VLBW preterm infants in the neonatal intensive care unit. This is a secondary analysis of data from a clinical trial aimed at assessing the feasibility and safety of randomising VLBW preterm infants to Standard (n = 45) or Intervention (n = 42) parenteral nutrition groups between August 2017 and June 2019. We evaluated associations between weekly infant growth and body composition measurements from n = 55 infants (Standard = 29, Intervention = 26) that were clinically stable enough to have body composition measurements taken before discharge using mixed effects linear regression models. No statistically significant associations between nutrition group and infant growth or body composition measures were observed (p >.05). In this pilot trial, enhanced parenteral nutrition in the first week of life was not associated with significant differences in infant growth or body composition during hospitalisation.

description: The current paper examines analogical processes as drivers of innovation in the creative industries. Based on a longitudinal case study of a signature perfume label, we argue that analogies embody cultural schemas in diverse material modalities, a process commonly referred to as analogical schematization. We highlight the role of materiality to ground these analogical processes, bridging embodied cognition and material products. We extend knowledge in this area by showing, among perfumers, how analogies work not only vertically from idea to concrete product but also horizontally across modalities, leveraging material affordances in a process that we label analogical reconfiguration. We discuss the implications of understanding innovation as being driven by analogical processes where materiality is key in creating novel, yet seemingly familiar, products in the creative industries.
