description: Data-driven research is growing exponentially. In order to support researchers with the proper management of their data, 500.000 data stewards will need to be trained in the EU alone. The first professional data stewards in Austria (e.g., at the TU Graz) had to acquire their skills and knowledge while “learning on the job”. As there is currently no dedicated training for data stewards in Austria, the Vienna University Library in cooperation with the FAIR Data Austria project currently develops the first postgraduate certificate for data stewards. With regard to the tasks of data stewards (especially the support of researchers, information transfer and research data management (RDM) training, as well as requirements engineering), the course will include the basics of RDM, open science, data science, coding and teaching skills. The course will be practice-oriented and allow the students to learn not only from national and international experts on data stewardship and RDM but also benefit from transdisciplinary exchange among the participants themselves. The course will be offered part-time and in a hybrid format as a way for RPOs to upskill current research support staff as well as offer an alternative career path for researchers. Data Stewardship experts on the national and international level have given feedback on the preliminary curriculum in three workshop in July 2021. Research institutions worldwide are developing data stewardship training to meet the growing demand. As the first formalized further education program in Austria, this lightning talk on the postgraduate certificate “Data Steward” from the Vienna University Library is sure to spark discussion on the topic of data stewardship training and contribute to the global efforts regarding Open Science education. The talk should serve as an example of possible collaborative efforts to implement high-quality certified data stewardship training on the national level.
Glycocalyx engineering : development of biomaterials, ligation strategies and in vitro systems to modulate inflammation at the endothelial surface
Creators: name: Siren, Erika
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2022

description: Residing at the interface between circulating blood and the vessel wall, the endothelial glycocalyx is a prominent regulator of the immune response. Existing as a highly complex, glycoprotein-rich brush-like structure on the surface of the endothelium, it dynamically regulates endothelial behavior by changing its architecture and chemical composition. As such, it is an interesting target for cell surface engineering (CSE), a methodology in which the cell surface is chemically or genetically tailored to modulate cellular behavior. Glycocalyx engineering can also be explored as a therapeutic iteration of CSE, as the breakdown of the glycocalyx plays a pivotal role in the immune regulated pathways that initiate organ damage and rejection at the blood vessel surface. Though a variety of preventative strategies have been developed to attenuate immune-mediated organ damage, none exist which actively reverse glycocalyx damage to re-initiate the native immunoprotective structure on the cell surface. In this body of work, we present new techniques and tools for engineering the glycocalyx surface with glycocalyx mimicking polymers. Architecturally defined, biocompatible polymers like hyperbranched polyglycerol (HPG), linear polyglycerol (LPG) and polyethylene glycol (PEG) were explored as promising candidates for recapitulating glycocalyx function as they are non-immunogenic and can be easily functionalized post-polymerization. Utilizing the enzyme tTGase in concert with Q-tagged polymers, we developed a CSE technique that mediates extensive and gentle attachment onto lysine substrates on the endothelial glycocalyx. Once attached to the cell surface, the polymers were able to re-establish the immunosuppressive barrier functions of the glycocalyx following breakdown. Next, we built upon the therapeutic efficacy of our strategy by introducing immunosuppressive sialic acids onto the LPG-Q scaffold. Endothelial cell surfaces engineered with α2,3 sialic acid-decorated glycopolymers provided a potent localized therapy which combined sterically driven immunocamouflage against leukocyte binding with sialic acid-mediated CD8+ T-cell and NK-cell inhibition. The immunosuppressive nature of this CSE strategy was also recapitulated in vivo using an arterial transplant model. Finally, we presented two new tools designed to improve the control over and assessment of glycocalyx engineering strategies in cell culture by re-directing CSE in the longitudinal direction and developing physiological relevant glycocalyx structures in vitro.

description: We study the transition in conductance properties of chaotic mesoscopic cavities as time-reversal symmetry is broken. We consider the Brownian motion model for transmission eigenvalues for both types of transitions, viz., orthogonal-unitary and symplectic-unitary crossovers depending on the presence or absence of spin-rotation symmetry of the electron. In both cases the crossover is governed by a Brownian motion parameter τ, which measures the extent of time-reversal symmetry breaking. It is shown that the results obtained correspond to the Jacobi crossover ensembles of random matrices. We derive the level density and the correlation functions of higher orders for the transmission eigenvalues. We also obtain the exact expressions for the average conductance, average shot-noise power and variance of conductance, as functions of τ, for arbitrary number of modes (channels) in the two leads connected to the cavity. Moreover, we give the asymptotic result for the variance of shot-noise power for both the crossovers, the exact results being too long. In the τ \rightarrow 0 and τ \rightarrow \infty limits the known results for the orthogonal (or symplectic) and unitary ensembles are reproduced. In the weak time-reversal symmetry breaking regime our results are shown to be in agreement with the semiclassical predictions.

An "engaged research" approach to design an open, online course in open science and open innovation for early career researchers

description: “Engaged research” encompasses the many ways that researchers meaningfully interact or collaborate with diverse stakeholders in any or all stages of a research process. An EU-funded project, “Opening Doors”, employed an engaged research approach in the co-design of an open, online educational course in open science and open innovation for early career researchers (ECRs). The goal of the “Opening Doors” project is to shape more innovative, socially aware, integrative ECRs, ready to meet the challenges of the future. It is expected that participants on the “Opening Doors” educational course will develop competencies that are valued in open innovation networks, enabling them to thrive in complex knowledge networks and enhancing their contribution to both academic and non-academic environments. The co-design of the course was a three-stage process: 1) stakeholder interviews were undertaken in Ireland, Denmark and the Czech Republic with PhD graduates, PhD students, PhD employers (academic and non-academic) and PhD educators, to understand what skills and attitudes are valued for promoting open, innovative and impactful research; 2) a co-design workshop was then created which took the form of an online “world-café” event with diverse stakeholders; 3) a final “industry check” was undertaken with employers to ensure that this training for ECRs is ‘fit-for-purpose’ in terms of supporting the development of skills and attitudes that are valued in open science and open innovation environments, and to verify the validity of our engaged research approach. This approach resulted in a comprehensive and nuanced understanding of open science and open innovation that we believe will, in turn, lead to meaningful societal engagement. The predominant themes that emerged from this work include the importance of accessible, relevant communication with research audiences outside of one’s discipline and crucially, non-academic audiences - where an open mindset and an attitude of curiosity and mutual respect is key.

description: Objectives. The late onset form of Alzheimer's Disease is the most widespread and APOE represents the only strong associated gene. From the literature is coming out the idea that multiple low penetrance genetic variants could be responsible. Therefore the genetic predisposition of the patients and their relatives should be unveiled from the analysis of their genetic profiles. The main purpose of this work is to uncover the signatures of genetic variants, genes and pathways that characterize the patients.

Methods. We analyzed two public GWA datasets, considering a 3-fold kernel approach, based on SNPs, Genes and Pathways, and two binary classification tasks : AD vs. cognitively healthy subjects  and subjects at risk vs. subjects not at risk of developing AD, according with APOE status (1 or 2 alleles vs. 0 allele of APOEε4).

Results. Among the results, we identified 4 statistically robust SNPs signatures and the comparisons of these lists showed: 1) the new and strong involvement of GRM7 in AD which is active within the shared KEGG pathway “Neuroactive ligand-receptor interaction” 2) the confirmation of the involvement of TOMM40 in AD; 3) the involvement of many identified genes, with their SNPs, in many neurological diseases or disorders (e.g., Bipolar and Mood disorders, Schizophrenia) common to both datasets. Phenopedia have been utilized to perform an accurate comparison of these signatures with the literature.

Conclusions.  This new approach allowed us to confirm the involvement of specific genes, SNPs and pathways in AD but also to uncover new knowledge that we mostly validated using in silico procedures.
Applying the FAIR principles to data in a hospital: an interdisciplinary collaboration

description: FAIR data principles and open science are globally endorsed as beneficial for healthcare. As co-founders of the FAIR principles we investigate implementation of FAIR principles, particularly interoperability for machines and interdisciplinary FAIRification. The Covid-19 pandemic emphasized that FAIRification ‘at source’ is vital: observational data are first collected in hospitals and should become FAIR for researchers as quickly as possible, inside and outside of the hospital. However, multiple information systems are used inside hospitals that are not directly interoperable. At the same time, existing systems have their own value such that replacing them is not desirable. Here, we present a strategy to implement FAIR principles that complements existing hospital systems. We coordinated the FAIRification of observational data of hospitalised patients within an interdisciplinary collaboration that was organised within the hospital to face the Covid-19 challenges. We defined an architecture around ontological models that link data in existing systems. Guided by research questions of the medical doctors, we transformed data into machine actionable digital objects, and developed ontological models for data and metadata, including investigational parameters. DCAT2-structured metadata was exposed by FAIR Data Points. We demonstrated machine actionability by (i) federated queries across hospital data and existing Linked Data-based knowledge sources, (ii) Web APIs for querying Linked Data, (iii) hypothesis-support applications built on top of FAIR patient data. Our work demonstrates that a FAIR research data management plan based on interdisciplinary collaboration and ontological models for data and metadata, Semantic Web technologies, and FAIR Data Points can complement hospital infrastructure to make machine-actionable FAIR digital objects available for integrative analysis. This prepares hospital systems for federated analysis (e.g. as part of the European Open Science Cloud), linking to other FAIR data such as Linked Open Data, and reuse in software applications.

description: We restrict purely kinetic k-essence. Assuming the equation of state is a power law of the kinetic energy: $w=w_0X^α$, to obtain accelerated phases, we must have $α>0$ as one of necessary conditions, constrained from the conditions for stability and causality, and the k-essence must behave like phantom. We also study the evolutions of the equation of state and the speed of sound with numerical simulation.

description: 3D molecular structure determination is a challenge for organic compounds or natural products available in minute amounts. Proton/proton and proton/carbon correlations yield the constitution. J couplings and NOEs oftentimes supported by one-bond ¹H,¹³C residual dipolar couplings (RDCs) or by ¹³C residual chemical shift anisotropies (RCSAs) provide the relative configuration. However, these RDCs or carbon RCSAs rely on 1% natural abundance of ¹³C preventing their use for compounds available only in quantities of a few 10’s of µgs. By contrast, ¹H RCSAs provide similar information on spatial orientation of structural moieties within a molecule, while using the abundant ¹H spin. Herein, ¹H RCSAs are accurately measured using constrained aligning gels or liquid crystals and applied to the 3D structural determination of molecules with varying complexities. Even more, deuterated alignment media allow the elucidation of the relative configuration of around 35 µg of a briarane compound isolated from Briareum asbestinum.
Self-adapting control parameters in particle swarm optimization
Creators: name: Isiet, Mewael Daniel
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2019

description: This study focuses on the development of a scheme for self-adapting the Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) method to solve constrained optimization problems. PSO is a powerful nature-inspired metaheuristic optimization method. Compared to other methods, PSO has the ability to determine the optimal solution in fewer evaluations and in general performs in a more efficient and effective manner. However, researches show that the PSO method suffers from premature convergence and a dependence on the initial control settings. Due to these flaws, the application of PSO could lead to a failure in obtaining the global optimal solution. An extensive parametric sensitivity analysis was conducted to understand the impact of the individual control parameters and their respective influence on the performance of PSO. Results of the sensitivity analysis revealed that PSO was most sensitive to the inertia weight, cognitive component and social component. Modifications were performed on the original PSO algorithm to adapt the control parameters with respect to the circumstances of the particles at a specific moment. The modified PSO variant is called the Unique Adaptive Particle Swarm Optimization (UAPSO). Unique control parameters were established for each particle through using a novel term known as the evolutionary state. In the developed approach, constraints were handled by forcing the particles to learn from their personal feasible solutions only. Therefore, in the proposed method, the constraint handling technique worked in accord with the adapting scheme to ensure that the particles were adapting to the environment by directing itself to the feasible regions. Furthermore, particles were reinitialized whenever they stagnated in the design space. Verification of the performance of the proposed method was done by means of a comparative study with other well-known algorithms. The comparative study demonstrated that UAPSO proved to be effective and efficient in solving the considered problems and especially in terms of the speed of convergence. Furthermore, design of a three-bar truss was investigated through the application of UAPSO along with multiple variants of PSO. The numerical results showed the superiority of UAPSO compared to the other variants, its ability in avoiding premature convergence and its consistency and efficiency.

description: Actuellement dans le domaine de l’éducation précoce spécialisée, l’un des focus de l’intervention est mis sur le travail dans le sens de l’approche centrée sur la famille. Dans cette approche, les pratiques d’aide relationnelles et participatives jouent un rôle important. Cette recherche vise à étudier si l’utilisation de la méthode Marte Meo par des pédagogues du SEI Fribourg favorise la mise en place de pratiques d’aide participatives. La mise en place de ces pratiques a été évaluée par le biais de la Family-Centered Practices Scale de Dunst et Trivette (2004). Les familles suivies par le SEI Fribourg ont été sollicitées pour répondre à ce questionnaire, proposé en 5 langues. 273 familles ont accepté de participer en retournant le questionnaire complété. En parallèle, les pédagogues du SEI Fribourg ont participé à des entretiens de type focus-groupe concernant les stratégies qu’elles utilisent pour favoriser la mise en place des pratiques d’aide participatives. 12 des 39 pédagogues travaillant au SEI Fribourg ont participé à ces entretiens. Les conclusions de cette recherche mettent en évidence que les pédagogues du SEI Fribourg ont des approches centrées sur la famille qui sont perçues par les familles. La formation à la méthode Marte Meo semble aider à mettre en place ce type d’approche, sans grande différence entre les pratiques relationnelles et participatives. Toutefois, quelques résultats de la recherche mettent en avant que l’utilisation rigoureuse de la méthode peut représenter un frein, bien que ténu, à la mise en place de ces pratiques d’aide. En effet, dans cette recherche, les perceptions parentales des pratiques d’aide relationnelles et participatives son généralement plus élevées pour les familles suivies par une pédagogue formée à la méthode Marte Meo et non-utilisatrice que pour les pédagogues non-formées à cette méthode ou formées et utilisatrices.

description: Anterograde interference emerges when two differing tasks are learned in close temporal proximity, an effect repeatedly attributed to a competition between differing task memories. However, recent development alternatively suggests that initial learning may trigger a refractory period that occludes neuroplasticity and impairs subsequent learning, consequently mediating interference independently of memory competition. Accordingly, this study tested the hypothesis that interference can emerge when the same motor task is being learned twice, that is when competition between memories is prevented. In a first experiment, the inter-session interval (ISI) between two identical motor learning sessions was manipulated to be 2 min, 1 h or 24 h. Results revealed that retention of the second session was impaired as compared to the first one when the ISI was 2 min but not when it was 1 h or 24 h, indicating a time-dependent process. Results from a second experiment replicated those of the first one and revealed that adding a third motor learning session with a 2 min ISI further impaired retention, indicating a dose-dependent process. Results from a third experiment revealed that the retention impairments did not take place when a learning session was preceded by simple rehearsal of the motor task without concurrent learning, thus ruling out fatigue and confirming that retention is impaired specifically when preceded by a learning session. Altogether, the present results suggest that competing memories is not the sole mechanism mediating anterograde interference and introduce the possibility that a time- and dose-dependent refractory period—independent of fatigue—also contributes to its emergence. One possibility is that learning transiently perturbs the homeostasis of learning-related neuronal substrates. Introducing additional learning when homeostasis is still perturbed may not only impair performance improvements, but also memory formation.

description: In experiments that are aimed at detecting astrophysical sources such as neutrino telescopes, one usually performs a search over a continuous parameter space (e.g. the angular coordinates of the sky, and possibly time), looking for the most significant deviation from the background hypothesis. Such a procedure inherently involves a "look elsewhere effect", namely, the possibility for a signal-like fluctuation to appear anywhere within the search range. Correctly estimating the $p$-value of a given observation thus requires repeated simulations of the entire search, a procedure that may be prohibitively expansive in terms of CPU resources. Recent results from the theory of random fields provide powerful tools which may be used to alleviate this difficulty, in a wide range of applications. We review those results and discuss their implementation, with a detailed example applied for neutrino point source analysis in the IceCube experiment.

description: The global chemical inventory includes neurotoxins that are mostly interrogated concerning the biological response in developing organisms. Effects of pollutants on adults receive less attention, although vulnerabilities can be expected throughout the entire life span in young, middle-aged and old individuals. We use the animal model Caenorhabditis elegans to systematically quantify neurological outcomes by application of an age-resolved method. Adult hermaphrodite worms were exposed to pollutants or non-chemical stressors such as temperature in liquid culture on microtiter plates and locomotion fitness was analyzed in a whole-life approach. Cultivation at 15, 20 or 25 °C showed that worms held at 15 °C displayed an enhanced level of fitness concerning swimming movements until middle age (11-days-old) and then a decline. In contrast, C. elegans cultivated at ≥ 20 °C continually reduced their swimming movements with increasing age. Here, we provide a step-by-step protocol to investigate the health span of adult C. elegans that may serve as a platform for automation and data collection. Consistent with this, more neurotoxins can be investigated with respect to vulnerable age-groups as well as contributing non-chemical environmental factors such as temperature.

description: The preparation and implementation of a good Data Management Plan (DMP) helps to focus on different aspects of research data management (like ethical-legal or technological requiremenresources involved, FAIRness) thereby fostering potential benefits for data analysis anrepurposing. However, preparing a good DMP is often a complex task. A number of existing tools tries to simplify the preparation by automatically generating a DMP from a set of questions, but the difficulties in tailoring predefined plans to specific use cases sometimes lead to the compilation of not exhaustive documentation, especially for those who are new to this task. To alleviate these challenges we have created a guide to support the writing of the DMP, combining key contenpractical recommendations and references extracted from the most common DMP models. Wstructured the guidelines as a complement to the analysed templates and tools to stimularesearchers towards a critical exploration of the many different aspects, possibly adapting them their domain specificities. In this way, we believe that the whole project team could be encouragto consider the DMP as a travelogue to be followed over the project lifecycle and further, updating it whenever necessary. The guide is openly available on Zenodo and it is currently being validated by the researchers of the I FAIR Program – an initiative to promote and adopt best practices fresearch data management in the biomedical research community in Sardinia. The initial feedback indicates that the guide appears to be a useful tool both when creating the DMP and during revision.

description: We present near-infrared (NIR) spectroscopy for 37 BzK-color-selected star-forming galaxies with MOIRCS on Subaru. The sample is drawn from the Ks-band selected catalog of the MOIRCS Deep Survey (MODS) in the GOODS-N region. About half of our samples are selected from the MIPS 24um-source catalog. Ha emission lines are detected from 23 galaxies, of which the median redshift is 2.12. We derived the star formation rates (SFRs) from extinction-corrected Ha luminosities. The extinction correction is estimated from the SED fitting of multi-band photometric data covering UV to NIR wavelengths. The Balmer decrement of the stacked emission lines shows that the amount of extinction for the ionized gas is larger than that for the stellar continuum. From a comparison of the extinction corrected Ha luminosity and other SFR indicators we found that the relation between the dust properties of stellar continuum and ionized gas is different depending on the intrinsic SFR. The comparison between the Ha SFR and stellar mass estimated from SED fitting shows no correlation between them. Some galaxies with stellar mass smaller than ~10^10 Msun show SFRs higher than ~100 Msun/yr. The specific SFRs (SSFRs) of these galaxies are remarkably high. The average stellar-population age of these high-SSFR galaxies is younger than 100 Myr, which is consistent with the implied high SSFR. The large SFR implies the possibility that the high SSFR galaxies significantly contribute to the cosmic SFR density of the universe at z~2. The total SFR density estimated from the Ha emission line galaxies is 0.089-0.136 Msun/yr/Mpc^3, which is consistent with the total SFR densities in the literature. The metallicity of the high-SSFR galaxies is larger than that expected from the mass-metallicity relation of UV-selected galaxies at z~2 by Erb et al. (2006a). [Abridged]

description: We compute the energy of a static hybrid, i.e. of a hybrid quarkonium with static quark and antiquark, at short distances in D=4,3 dimensions. The soft contribution to this energy is the static potential of a color octet quark-antiquark pair at short distances, which is known at two loops for arbitrary D. We have checked this expression employing thermal field theory methods. Using the effective field theory pNRQCD we calculate the ultrasoft contributions to the hybrid (and singlet) static energy at the two-loop level. We then present new results for the static hybrid energy/potential and the hybrid decay width in three and four dimensions. Finally we comment on the meaning of the perturbative results in two space-time dimensions, where the hybrid does not exist.

description: In the process, a program was written and a system for the primary processing of oil was modeled. The installation algorithm is built. The following tasks were considered: pump and damper operation, oil filtration and sediment collection. The following algorithms have been developed and tested: adaptation of the position of the rotating flap and calculation of the amount of sediment, depending on the amount of incoming oil per unit of time. Testing was carried out on the basis of simulation in the program Citect SCADA. The programs are written in the languages FBD, LD, ST, and also Cicode, where the function was written to test the abrupt change in the flow at a predetermined period of time.
Effects of inspired air and exercise in diagnosing exercise-induced bronchoconstriction in swimmers
Creators: name: Leahy, Michael G.
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2019

description: Competitive swimmers have high rates of exercise induced bronchoconstriction (EIB), which may be associated with repeated exposure to chlorinated pool water. The eucapnic voluntary hyperpnea (EVH) test is often used in a laboratory setting to provoke a reduction in lung function associated with EIB. Swimmers however, experience EIB symptoms in warm, humid and chlorinated environments. The relationship between EVH testing conditions and the development of EIB from swim exercise is unclear. PURPOSE: To compare the provoking effects of inspired air and high-intensity exercise in inducing EIB in swimmers to laboratory-based EVH method. METHODS: 15 collegiate swimmers (n=5 male, n=10 female; 21±2 years) completed three days of testing in random order. On day one, subjects performed an EVH test in a laboratory (EVH-L). On a separate day, swimmers performed a modified EVH test, while breathing chlorinated pool air (EVH-Cl). On a third day subjects completed a swimming challenge (Swim), performing consecutive 200 and 400 m freestyle efforts at 85% of their season’s best time (average achieved 200 and 400 m time; 2:18.52±7.79 and 4:55.22±20.38, respectively) and age-predicted heart rate maximum. Lung function was measured at baseline, as well as 3-, 5-, 10-, 15-, and 20-minutes following EVH testing and swim exercise. RESULTS: EVH-L elicited a -9.7±6.4 % fall compared to the EVH-Cl test, -6.6±9.2 % (p>0.05) and Swim, -3.0±7.5 % (p>0.05). A significant correlation in FEV1 fall index between EVH-L vs. EVH-Cl (r =0.78, p<0.05) with no significant relationship between EVH-L vs. Swim (r =0.20, p>0.05) and EVH-CL vs. Swim (r =0.50, p>0.05). A greater reduction in forced expired flow between 25 and 75 % lung volume (FEF25-75) was induced by the EVH-L (-16.6±8.7 %) compared to the EVH-Cl (-8.2±14.9 %) (p>0.05) and Swim test (-1.3±15.6 %) (p<0.05). CONCLUSION: The EVH-L elicits a greater bronchoconstrictive response, compared to EVH-Cl and Swim tests. There is little relationship in reduction of lung function between the EVH-L test and Swim tests.

description: Non-invasive imaging of soil-plant parameters is crucial for precision agriculture, particularly for managing natural resources such as groundwater. This study demonstrates the potential of cross-hole ground-penetrating radar (GPR) to monitor soil water variations in the presence of maize crop roots using two different GPR frequencies, and the effect of varying nitrate fertilizer concentrations on GPR data. In 2023, weekly time-lapse GPR measurements were conducted during a maize growing season using 200 MHz and 500 MHz borehole systems at the upper minirhizotron facility in Selhausen, Germany. The facility features horizontal rhizotubes arranged in three columns, allowing for measurements at depths between 0.1 m and 1.2 m. GPR data are collected using horizontal zero-offset profiling (ZOP) at five depths between 0.2 m and 1.2 m, while root images are obtained at all six depths. Variations in soil water and root presence are primarily related to relative permittivity, while nitrate fertilizer concentrations are expected to affect soil conductivity and GPR signal attenuation. The GPR signal strength was analyzed by calculating the envelope of each trace and identifying maximum amplitudes to differentiate areas of varying conductivities and nitrate fertilizer concentration. In addition, the permittivity and maximum amplitudes are trend corrected to reduce the static and dynamic influence on the signals and to allow time-lapse comparison. Trend-corrected permittivity results shows increased variability over time up to depths of 0.6 m and 0.8 m, correlating with higher root presence, while maximum amplitudes shows greater variability only at 0.2 m. A statistical approach reveals a correlation with r2>0.5 between the standard deviation of the 200 MHz GPR data and root data for trend-corrected permittivities at 0.2 m and 0.8 m, but only at 0.2 m for maximum amplitudes. The 500 MHz data improves the resolution of small structures, when both data are compared along the tube but did not show the same correlation. Preliminary findings suggest that varying nitrate concentrations impact GPR data along rhizotubes, with both frequencies indicating decreased maximum amplitudes in areas with higher nitrate fertilization. These results highlight the potential of GPR as a non-invasive tool to accurately map root zones and to assess spatial variations in nitrate concentrations, enhancing precision farming practices and promoting sustainable crop management.

description: Background

A lifetime history of non-suicidal self-injury (NSSI) is a risk factor for subsequent behavioural and emotional problems, including depression, aggression and heightened emotional reactivity. Traumatic experiences, which are frequently reported by individuals with NSSI, also show predictive links to these mental health problems. However, the exact connections between these areas and their subdomains remain unclear.
Aims

To explore in detail the relationships of specific characteristics of NSSI (e.g. termination in adolescence, duration, frequency, reinforcement mechanisms) and various types of traumatic experience (emotional, physical, sexual) with distinct aspects of emotional reactivity (sensitivity, intensity, persistence), aggression (behavioural, cognitive, affective) and severity of depression in university students.
Method

Via online survey, 150 university students aged 18 to 25 years, who had self-injured at least once, provided information on NSSI, and completed questionnaires including the Childhood Trauma Questionnaire, Patient Health Questionnaire, Emotion Reactivity Scale, and Aggression Questionnaire. Regression analyses were conducted to determine risk factors linked to increased depression scores, aggression and emotional reactivity. The study was pre-registered in the German Clinical Trials Register (DRKS00023731).
Results

Childhood emotional abuse contributed to emotional reactivity, aggression and depressive symptom severity (β = 0.33–0.51). Risk factors for sustained NSSI beyond adolescence included increased automatic positive reinforcement (odds ratio: 2.24).
Conclusions

Childhood emotional abuse significantly contributes to emotional and behavioural problems and needs to be considered in NSSI therapy. NSSI was found to persist into adulthood when used as an emotion regulation strategy.

description: Un curriculum prescrit n’est jamais complètement mis en oeuvre dans les classes. Il subit de la part des enseignants1 des transformations liées aux moyens d’enseignement à leur disposition, à leur parcours professionnel et personnel ou encore au contexte institutionnel dans lequel ils pratiquent. Notre travail s'appuie sur les tâches évaluatives élaborées par six enseignants jurassiens de 8e année d’août 2018 à janvier 2019 et des entretiens menés auprès de cet échantillon afin d’observer la configuration disciplinaire dans le curriculum mis en oeuvre. Nous constatons que le curriculum implanté par le Plan des chapitres évalués lors des épreuves communes tend à se substituer au curriculum prescrit. Ainsi, le fonctionnement de la langue (FDL) est l’axe thématique du Plan d’études romand (PER) le plus enseigné et le plus évalué. Il constitue le noyau central de la planification de l’enseignant. Certains des huit axes thématiques du PER tendent à s’évaporer. Nous observons également que l’essentiel du travail mené en FDL vise des savoirs déclaratifs ou des procédures stéréotypées.
