description: Tissue engineering has emerged as a biological alternative aimed at sustaining, rehabilitating, or enhancing the functionality of tissues that have experienced partial or complete loss of their operational capabilities. The distinctive characteristics of electrospun nanofibrous structures, such as their elevated surface-area-to-volume ratio, specific pore sizes, and fine fiber diameters, make them suitable as effective scaffolds in tissue engineering, capable of mimicking the functions of the targeted tissue. However, electrospun nanofibers, whether derived from natural or synthetic polymers or their combinations, often fall short of replicating the multifunctional attributes of the extracellular matrix (ECM). To address this, nanomaterials (NMs) are integrated into the electrospun polymeric matrix through various functionalization techniques to enhance their multifunctional properties. Incorporation of NMs into electrospun nanofibrous scaffolds imparts unique features, including a high surface area, superior mechanical properties, compositional variety, structural adaptability, exceptional porosity, and enhanced capabilities for promoting cell migration and proliferation. This review provides a comprehensive overview of the various types of NMs, the methodologies used for their integration into electrospun nanofibrous scaffolds, and the recent advancements in NM-functionalized electrospun nanofibrous scaffolds aimed at regenerating bone, cardiac, cartilage, nerve, and vascular tissues. Moreover, the main challenges, limitations, and prospects in electrospun nanofibrous scaffolds are elaborated.

title: Investigating phenotypic plasticity during the early colonisation of brain metastases using an ex vivo organotypic slice model system
Creators: name: Napier, Leah Zoe
Publisher: name: University of Reading
Year: 2024

description: Brain metastases (BrMs) are the most common type of brain malignancy and are associated 
with poor patient outcomes. The emerging field of cancer neuroscience has begun to explore 
the unexpected ways BrMs colonise the neural microenvironment. However, early 
colonisation of BrMs has not been effectively characterised; early interactions with the brain 
microenvironment could shape the trajectory of BrM progression based on the initial plastic 
responses they exhibit, which could inform BrM prevention. We have developed an ex vivo
organotypic brain slice (OBS) model of BrMs to examine early BrM microenvironment 
interactions and plastic responses, with a particular focus on intracellular Ca2+ oscillations.
This involved the co-culture of five mCherry+ cancer cell lines in neocortical organotypic 
brain slices (NC-OBSs) from 12-day old C57BL/6J mice. Four cell lines representing common 
primary sites of brain metastases (MDA-MB-231, SK-MEL-28, A549, and DU-145), as well as 
glioblastoma (U-87 MG). In-model measurements included viability, proliferation, chemokine 
expression, and cell invasion. Additionally, intracellular Ca2+ imaging was performed on 
GCaMP6s+ cells before and during co-culture and the variability in oscillation frequencies 
was assessed via Fast Fourier Transform (FFT) analysis and Principle Component Analysis 
(PCA). Further phenotypic assessments were conducted on the cancer cells post-model.
Results indicated that interactions within the BrM model included cancer cell manipulation 
based upon altered chemokine secretions and reduced cell death compared to the negative 
control. FFT analysis and PCA revealed inter- and intracellular variation of spontaneous 
intracellular Ca2+ oscillation frequencies which changed over the course of the model culture.
Further phenotypic changes in the cancer cells indicate a role for polyploidy and anoikis 
resistance in the early colonisation stage. Future work will utilise the full measurability and 
manipulability of the model via a variety of specific measurements including functional 
assessments of the Ca2+ toolkit and cell-cell interactions.

description: Families of Lepidoptera treated in Zootaxa
The family with the most descriptions of new species of Afrotropical moth species published in Zootaxa is Erebidae (66 species-group taxa), followed by Lecithoceridae (61), Tortricidae (52), Gracillariidae (43), Pterophoridae (33), and Geometridae (29) (Fig. 4).
Other than the species-rich family Erebidae, the next four families that received the highest attention of the Zootaxa authors are all microlepidoptera. The species belonging to these families are usually dull-coloured and difficult to distinguish from each other. The popularity of families treated in Zootaxa mainly was linked with the productivity of taxonomists knowledgeable in a limited group, that seldom was treated by a broader community. In total 24 families of Lepidoptera from the Afrotropical region were expanded by the new species descriptions in Zootaxa (Fig. 4).

description: Flexible Manufacturing Systems have revolutionized Job Shop Productions in manufacturing, addressing some inefficiencies while facing challenges like cost and disruptions. Industry 4.0 technologies are enhancing industrial processes via centralized management without compromising flexibility. Reconfigurable Manufacturing Systems (RMS) offer increased responsiveness and flexibility but generate vast data, necessitating online monitoring. Collaboration among specialists is vital, though it may lead to semantic discrepancies due to diverse knowledge backgrounds. Decision-making in reconfigurable manufacturing involves three layers: requirements, smart manufacturing, and decision-making, each prone to semantic heterogeneity issues. Effective decisions entail transferring knowledge across domains and informing relevant departments. This study aims to propose a framework, SRM-OS, merging multicriteria decision-making and ontology for smart manufacturing, addressing reconfiguration challenges. SRM-OS comprises a digital layer with decision-making components and a physical manufacturing layer, integrating multi-criteria techniques for dynamic changes. Test and industrial cases validate the framework's effectiveness in decision-making, configuration optimization, and enhancing efficiency and quality control, resulting in cost reduction and resource utilization improvement. The framework integrates ontology and decision support for robust decision-making, offering a comprehensive solution for smart manufacturing systems.

Material: one specimen (stage 34), one specimen (stage 36), three specimens (stage 38), one specimen (stage 39).
Buccal floor (Fig. 3A): Ovoid buccal floor, wider than long. One pair of large infralabial papillae, concave on the anterior surface, apex with elongated projections and occupying a large part of the oral cavity entrance. Infrarrostral projections are absent. Four lingual papillae, in equivalent size, the two lateral ones are bifurcated and the two median ones are digitiform (forming a " YIIY " design), rounded apex and arranged in the same transversal plane. In one specimen was observed three papillae, all bifurcated in “Y”. The BFA is delimited by nearly 40 digitiform papillae, in different size, tapered apex and nearly 90 pustules distributed between the papillae. There are no structures in the anterior region of the BFA. The buccal pockets are transversely oriented. The ventral velum is long and U-shaped; undulated and tumid margin, with a glandular appearance, constituted by secretory pits and about eight globular projections in the middle portion. Buccal roof (Fig. 3B): Ovoid buccal roof, as wide as long. Prenarial arena has a low transversal ridge and irregular apex. Large choanae, elliptical and obliquely oriented; the posterior valve is high and the anterior has five prenarial papillae on the inner edge and narial valve projections are present. The distance between the choanae is equivalent to median ridge width. The postnarial arena has either four or five digitiform papillae on each side, in different size, with smooth surface, rounded apex and arranged forming an inverted " V " design. Before these papillae there are about three pustules. Median ridge is trapezoid-shaped; flattened and anterior margin irregular. The lateral ridge papillae have the apex wider than the base, flattened, with four digitiform secondary branches in different size and smooth anterior margin of the branches. The BRA is delimited laterally by five digitiform papillae on each side, elongated, in different size, tapered apex and arranged on the side. There are nearly 90 pustules evenly distributed in the middle region of the BRA. Conspicuous glandular zone, thickened in the middle portion. The dorsal velum is short; undulated margin, with the lateral fold showing a glandular appearance and elongated projections in the middle region.

(Fig. 14)
Types. Holotype worker from Gordon, Sydney, 33°45'S 151°09'E, New South Wales, 21 September 1974, P.S. Ward, PSWC#92, foraging on Eucalyptus trunk in dry sclerophyll (ANIC, ANIC32-066605); 3 paratype workers, same data as holotype except ANIC32- 060583 (ANIC); 6 paratype workers, same data as holotype except 15 September 1974, PSWC#47, ex. dead branch on sandstone ledge, in dry sclerophyll ANIC32- 060584 (3 in ANIC, 3 in MCZC).
Diagnosis. Pronotum rounded, lacking spines, propodeum with elongate spines directed upward at angle of 45° or less to horizontal plane, the angle between them at least 90°; base of propodeal spines forming a "U" with a broad concavity connecting their bases (sometimes this region flat or weakly convex); dorsum of petiolar node broad; legs short and dark red-brown in colour, at most only slightly lighter in colour than the body.
This species is similar to D. ypsilon, D. rufotibialis and D. niger but can be distinguished from these by its dorsally broad petiolar node (rather than angular); and the broad "U" formed at the base of the propodeal spines rather than a narrowly angled "V" when viewed from the front. It is most similar to D. scabridus which also has a broad petiolar node, and "U" at the base of the propodeal spines, but differs in having dark red-brown legs rather than yellowish-red.
Worker description. See Fig. 14. The available material shows little variation from this pattern.
Measurements (n=5). CI 92–97; EI 20–22; EL 0.28–0.31; HL 1.44–1.54; HW 1.33–1.42; ML 1.96–2.12; MTL 1.14–1.21; PronI 73.48–74.79; PronW 1.00–1.05; SI 100–105; SL 1.38–1.46.
Material examined. New South Wales: Mt. Keira (Sundholm,A.) (ANIC); Royal N.P. (Ward,P.S.) (ANIC); Royal National Park, above Garie Beach (Lowery,B.B.) (ANIC); Victoria: Greensborough (McAreavey,J.) (ANIC).
Comments. Dolichoderus inferus is most common in dry sclerophyll habitats but extends into wet sclerophyll as well. Foragers have been encountered primarily on low vegetation and trees and a nest was found in a dead branch. While most specimens have been encountered in the general vicinity of Sydney, there is a single collection from southern Victoria, some 700kms to the south-east. These specimens are morphologically inseparable from the Sydney population and appear to represent the same species. The current status of this species in Victoria is uncertain given that it has only been found a single time.

description: Lomaptera insularis VALCK LUCASSEN 1961 (Abb. 3, 4)
B e s c h r e i b u n g Körperlänge 18,9 mm, humerale Breite 8,2 mm.
Kopf und Pronotum, ausgenommen die gelblichen Ränder, metallisch dunkelgrün. Elytren in der Mitte breit metallisch dunkelgrün, ebenso die Schulterbeule. Die grüne Farbe ist zur Flügeldeckenspitze hin verschmälert; der Rest der Elytren ist gelb gefärbt. Die Unterseite ist metallisch kupferig bis grün, die Beine gelb, Knie und Tarsen metallisch grün, die Klauen gelb. Paramerenbau: mediane Zunge schmaler und spitzer zulaufend als bei Lomaptera gracilis VALCK LUCASSEN, etwa halb so lang wie die Gesamtlänge der Parameren.
VALCK LUCASSEN (1961) gibt leider keine Abbildung der Parameren; der Hinweis von RIGOUT & ALLARD (1997), dass der Paramerenbau an Lomaptera gracilis erinnert, stimmt auch nur bedingt, da bei dieser Art die Enden der medianen Zunge breit abgerundet dargestellt werden (RIGOUT & ALLARD: 114). VALCK LUCASSEN (1961: 252) gibt jedoch in seiner Monographie eine Skizze der Farbgebung, so dass davon ausgegangen werden kann, dass es sich um diese Art handelt.

description: This working paper reports on aspects related to data security and accessibility in connection with the analysis underpinning the Integrated National Energy Plan (INEP) and the County Energy Plans (CEP) in Kenya. The aim is to identify and propose practical strategies to manage potential risks to data security and privacy and to ensure data is accessible to authorized users. This document introduces five key concepts of data governance and explores data privacy and security from the perspective of one of them. It then derives two governance mechanisms to manage data privacy and security based on several case studies drawn from stakeholder interactions at a series of workshops held in Kenya and from experiences implementing a prototype data repository. The findings show how and where the data repository could be used to address data security issues and point out its benefits and drawbacks in the context of energy planning in Kenya.
