Transcriptional regulation of the human 5-HT1A receptor gene: Implications in major depression and suicide

Subjects: subject: Health Sciences, Mental Health.

description: Major depressive disorder (MDD) constitutes the most commonly diagnosed mental illness affecting 16% of the population. Reduction in serotonergic tone is the most widely accepted etiological hypothesis for MDD and antidepressant treatments enhance serotonin (5-hydroxytryptamine, 5-HT) neurotransmission. Negative regulation of serotonergic raphe neurons is mediated by somatodendritic 5-HT1A autoreceptors, which are increased in depressed suicides and become down-regulated before antidepressants take effect. I hypothesized that genetic variations in regulatory regions of this receptor that dictate its expression, could contribute to predisposition to depression and treatment responsiveness. I initially addressed the basal mechanisms of human 5-HT1A receptor gene regulation using transient transfections with luciferase reporter constructs of 5' flanking sequences. A region between -1624 and -1550 by displayed strong repressor activity and contained at least three repressor elements: a consensus RE-1 and two copies of a novel dual repressor element (DRE). By yeast one-hybrid screening we identified a novel calcium-regulated repressor (Freud-1) that binds to DRE to reduce basal 5-HT1A receptor expression in neurons. Using an inhibitor of histone deacetylase (HDAC), we have demonstrated that Freud-1 mediates HDAC-independent repression in neuronal 5-HT1A positive cells, while REST or other DRE binding proteins recruit HDAC-dependant mechanisms to silence the receptor in non-neuronal 5-HT1A-negative cells. I also searched for sequence variations in 5-HT1A regulatory regions that may associate with depression. Further downstream from this region, we have identified a functional C(-1019)G polymorphism in the human 5-HT1A promoter that associates with major depression and completed suicide. The occurrence of the G allele at -1019 by prevents binding and repression by specific transcription factors NUDR and Hes5, identified by yeast one hybrid approach, and results in de-repression of the 5-HT1A receptor gene and hence, may contribute to the predisposition to depression. In conclusion, I have identified important transcriptional regulatory elements and proteins of the 5-HT1A gene implicated in serotonin neurotransmission, and characterized the mechanism of a new functional 5-HT1A promoter polymorphism involved in both suicide and MDD. This study may provide an improved marker for diagnosis and treatment of depression and provide a model for correlation between polymorphisms, gene expression and mental illnesses.

description: While forest biodiversity faces a concerning decline, modern technology presents promising avenues for mitigation. However, a critical gap persists in reconciling ecological knowledge with the technical expertise required to use state-of-the-art technologies in 3D data classification. Currently, one main issue is the scarcity of 3D datasets for biodiversity, particularly within the context of machine learning applications. Unlike the straightforward classification of human-made structures, forest environments are uniquely intricate and nuanced due to its inherently complex nature. This study addresses this challenge by introducing a fully automated pipeline for tree stem 3D point cloud segmentation, focussing on a biodiversity indicator: tree-related microhabitats (TreMs). Furthermore, our research advances the field by demonstrating that machine learning models trained with labels generated by our proposed virtual reality (VR) method, Labelling Flora, yield predictions statistically similar to the traditional desktop-based labelling methods. This implies that existing 3D datasets could be augmented using the more rapid approach of VR labelling. Additionally, the findings of this paper demonstrate the potential integration of VR and immersive technology into the 3D labelling workflow, facilitating a quicker and more intuitive labelling process. This could empower users, who are non-familiar with 3D modelling, to contribute their expertise to the segmentation process.

Riemannian geometry based blind signal separation using independent component analysis
Creators: name: Elsabrouty, Maha
Publisher: name: Université d'Ottawa / University of Ottawa
Year: 2006
Subjects: subject: Engineering, Electronics and Electrical.

description: Blind Source Separation is one of the newest and most active research areas in adaptive filtering. It represents the solution for many real situations in the audio, speech processing and telecommunication fields. The word "blind" reflects the fact that neither the source nor the mixing channel is known. This is, clearly, a more difficult situation compared to conventional adaptive filtering problems. Algorithms developed for blind separation reflect this difficulty. They possess a higher degree of sophistication compared with algorithms in other adaptive filtering approaches. The cost functions employed for blind separation are mostly based, implicitly or explicitly, on higher order statistics, while some of the adaptive algorithms developed for blind signal separation witnessed the introduction of the powerful principle of differential geometry to modify the LMS-based algorithms to what is known as the natural-gradient update. The aim of this work is to generalize differential geometry algorithms for different cost functions of blind signal separation and provide new faster converging RLS-based and Newton-based algorithms using the natural gradient update. The thesis starts by providing a thorough review of the existing solutions developed in the literature for blind separation. This is followed by a study of the mathematical basis of Riemannian geometry and providing an engineering insight into the intrinsic geometry of curved spaces and its relation to optimization in adaptive filtering. Several new update algorithms are then developed throughout the thesis. They are structured to perform at faster convergence rates even in difficult mixing situations. These algorithms provide significantly improved performance in comparison with existing algorithms and are suitable for on-line applications.

L'imaginaire au travail: Le roman d'apprentissage au féminin québécois
Creators: name: Morris, Julia Elizabeth
Publisher: name: Université d'Ottawa / University of Ottawa
Year: 2010
Subjects: subject: Literature, Canadian (French).

description: Les racines du travail comme forme d'activité sociale sont profondes et de nombreux intellectuels, de Saint Thomas d'Aquin à John Stuart Mill, ont étudié son importance pour l'individu et la société. De nos jours, le travail est un sujet de prédilection : certains considèrent qu'il offre à l'individu la chance d'appartenir à une communauté d'esprit et d'intérêts; d'autres relativisent son importance dans la formation identitaire en soutenant qu'en général il est par trop unidimensionnel et qu'il oblige l'individu à se concentrer sur un domaine d'activité alors que l'être humain tend naturellement, par son sens de l'aventure, à se diversifier. Cette thèse, qui prend appui sur le Bildungsroman, le roman d'apprentissage, et ensuite plus précisement sur le roman d'apprentissage au féminin, s'attardera à analyser les formes que peut prendre le travail dans l'écriture des femmes québécoises contemporaines et en quoi ce travail participe (ou non) à l'émancipation féminine La thèse vise en effet à cibler, à travers la mise en place de quatre configurations d'apprentissage (antagonique, dysphorique, euphorique, ascendant), la fonction thématique et narrative du travail dans le développement féminin, c'est-à-dire la manière dont les femmes se forgent une image d'elles-mêmes. Pour ce faire, on privilégiera l'oeuvre d'écrivaines qui mettent en relief quelques points saillants dans l'évolution de ce " lieu " d'investissement social. Chacune des écrivaines du corpus, qui inclut Michèle Mailhot, Nelly Arcan, Suzanne Jacob, Lise Tremblay, Madeleine Ouellette-Michalska, Monique Proulx et Louise Dupré, aborde le travail d'une manière différente mais toutes font preuve d'une sensibilité face au dynamisme de l'identité et d'une détermination à en mettre à mal les représentations trop unidimensionnelles.

Abstract: In this article Serhiy Kvit clarifi es the concept of the “hermeneutics of style”. It was
presented in his book of the same name published this year by the Kyiv-Mohyla Academy Publishing
House. The concept is related to such key notions of philosophical hermeneutics as “hermeneutic
conversation” and the “hermeneutic phenomenon”, established by Hans-Georg Gadamer.
On the other hand, the concept is directly related to the European essayistic tradition and corresponding
“essayistic turn” in Martin Heidegger’s thinking. Author also examines terms such as
“humanness” and “essayism”, and will also make an attempt to review Umberto Eco’s term of
“overinterpretation”.

Subjects: subject: Mathematics.

description: The goal of this thesis is to develop the theory of the so-called equivariant forms. Precisely, we study and classify all meromorphic functions of the extended upper-half plane h* that commute with the action of a finite index subgroup of SL 2( Z ) on h* . It is shown that they are intimately connected to modular forms, differential forms and quasimodular forms, and hence inherit their structures. A close connection with different geometric objets such as differential forms and sections of line bundles is also established. Finally, to show more the richness of such objects, some applications to the critical points of modular forms are given.
The Discourse of Participation: A Poststructural Study of Teachers' Involvement in the Implementation of an Educational Reform Initiative
Creators: name: Mosimakoko, Botsalano T
Publisher: name: Université d'Ottawa / University of Ottawa
Year: 2011
Subjects: subject: Education, Administration.

description: Participation has been used as a catchword for decades in organizations and development agencies to legitimize programs and because it is seen as a vehicle to 'partnership' in and 'ownership' of programs. This study analyzed the discourse of participation in terms of power relations and how it impacts on teachers' involvement in the implementation of educational reform in the area of science education. More specifically the study sought: (a) to explore how science educators and administrators experience and value the process of participation in the implementation of educational reform and (b) to explore how participation impacts educational reform. A descriptive study was used to explore the topic in depth and detail. Data was collected using policy document review and interviews. Interviews were conducted with science teacher educators from a college of education; science teachers in primary and secondary schools; administrators from the college of education and secondary school; and officials from the ministry of education. Foucault's work on discourse, power/knowledge, resistance, and governmentality was used to analyse how and why teachers are invited or selected to participate in the implementation of educational reforms. The study showed that there was no single, unified discourse of participation in the policy texts or amongst the teachers and administrators. Instead, there were multiple definitions and practices that operated under the use of the concept of participation and hence different understandings of the term by practitioners and policy makers. Overall, the study showed that across all three schools, the first time that teachers experienced involvement in reform was when initiatives were introduced. In order to make the analysis more functional, the policy texts could be improved with clear guidelines and identification of the significant roles of speakers, as well as the impact of individual and institutional forces outside the organization. Language plays a vital role in identifying discourse ideology, purpose, and function. Therefore, concept analysis, such as that of participation, requires more in-depth study of language function relevant to Foucault's perspective.

Submarine radial vents on Mauna Loa Volcano, Hawai`i.
Creators: name: Weis, Dominique
Publisher: name: American Geophysical Union
Year: 2016

description: A 2002 multibeam sonar survey of Mauna Loa's western flank revealed ten submarine radial vents and three submarine lava flows. Only one submarine radial vent was known previously. The ages of these vents are constrained by eyewitness accounts, geologic relationships, Mn-Fe coatings, and geochemical stratigraphy; they range from 128 years B.P. to possibly 47 ka. Eight of the radial vents produced degassed lavas despite eruption in water depths sufficient to inhibit sulfur degassing. These vents formed truncated cones and short lava flows. Two vents produced undegassed lavas that created “irregular” cones and longer lava flows. Compositionally and isotopically, the submarine radial vent lavas are typical of Mauna Loa lavas, except two cones that erupted alkalic lavas. He-Sr isotopes for the radial vent lavas follow Mauna Loa's evolutionary trend. The compositional and isotopic heterogeneity of these lavas indicates most had distinct parental magmas. Bathymetry and acoustic backscatter results, along with photography and sampling during four JASON2 dives, are used to produce a detailed geologic map to evaluate Mauna Loa's submarine geologic history. The new map shows that the 1877 submarine eruption was much larger than previously thought, resulting in a 10% increase for recent volcanism. Furthermore, although alkalic lavas were found at two radial vents, there is no systematic increase in alkalinity among these or other Mauna Loa lavas as expected for a dying volcano. These results refute an interpretation that Mauna Loa's volcanism is waning. The submarine radial vents and flows cover 29 km2 of seafloor and comprise a total volume of ∼2 × 109 m3 of lava, reinforcing the idea that submarine lava eruptions are important in the growth of oceanic island volcanoes even after they emerged above sea level.

Sexual health and adolescents with disabilities: Understanding the experiences and roles of nurses in a hospital setting
Creators: name: McCabe, Janet L
Publisher: name: Université d'Ottawa / University of Ottawa
Year: 2010
Subjects: subject: Health Sciences, Nursing.

description: Research shows that across a variety of settings, nurses demonstrate a lack of attention to the impact of illness or disability on sexual health. Individuals with disabilities often exhibit lower sexual knowledge, and are at a higher risk of being sexually abused. Unlike their 'able-bodied' peers, the sexual health of youth with disabilities may be overlooked, in part due to preconceived ideas about this population. Nurses enter into a therapeutic relationship with patients and families, and are in an ideal position to promote sexual health with patients and families. This project focused on sexual health care, provided by nurses, to adolescents with physical and/or developmental disabilities, with attention to the institutional and social discourses that shape these interactions. A critical ethnography was employed, supported by a theoretical framework based on the works of Foucault, Goffman, and Shouldered. Interviews were conducted with nurses and social workers. The study involved the collection of mute evidence and an observation of the institutional setting. Results show that nurses were supported and encouraged to address sexual health with youth and families, however they did so within a clinical milieu imbued with opposition - from structural issues, to the presence of larger social misconceptions such as beliefs of the asexuality of people with disabilities. The major findings of this project are that: (1) nurses occupy, and strive to maintain the role of caring agent in their relationships with patients and families; (2) that despite institutional support for the integration of sexual health care, remnants of the total institution remain which undermine the larger agenda to promote sexual health, and finally (3) in order to both maintain therapeutic relationships with patients and address sexual health care, sexual health is often medicalized. These findings point to the importance of continuing to modify the clinical milieu to support nurses in their endeavours to address sexual health. In addition, it raises an important need for further research to be conducted on the impact of repeated experiences in health care on perceptions of sexuality held by youth with disabilities.

The article is an attempt at showing conditions which have to be fulfilled to achieve non-institutional autonomization of communication research. The most important conclusion that is drawn here is that the process of communication must be seen (by researchers) as existing in a culturally objective way (intersubjective).
Tracing deep-sea calcite dissolution; agreement between the Globorotalia menardii fragmentation index and elemental ratios (Mg/Ca and Mg/Sr) in planktonic foraminifers
Creators: name: François, Roger
Publisher: name: American Geophysical Union
Year: 2017

description: Accurately quantifying deep-sea calcite dissolution is crucial for understanding the role of the marine carbonate system in regulating atmospheric pCO2 over millennia. We compare a foraminifer-fragmentation-based calcite dissolution proxy (Globorotalia menardii fragmentation index (MFI)) to Mg/Ca, Sr/Ca, and Mg/Sr in several species of deep dwelling planktonic foraminifers. We conducted microfossil and geochemical analyses on the same core top samples taken at different depths on the Ontong Java Plateau to maximize the dissolution signal and minimize the temperature overprint on our data. We also compare elemental ratios from planktonic foraminifer tests to modern bottom water CO3 = undersaturation and model-derived estimates of percent calcite dissolved in deep-sea sediments. We find clear linear decreases in Mg/Ca or Mg/Sr in G. menardii and Pulleniatina obliquiloculata with increasing (1) bottom water CO3 = undersaturation, (2) percent calcite dissolved in sediments calculated with biogeochemical modeling, (3) MFI, and (4) percent calcite dissolved derived from MFI. These findings lend further support to MFI as a calcite dissolution proxy for deep-sea sediments. In contrast, we find no significant correlation between Sr/Ca and independent dissolution indicators. Our results suggest that Mg/Ca and Mg/Sr from deep dwelling foraminifers could potentially be used as calcite dissolution proxies in combination with independent water temperature estimates. Likewise, establishing the relationship between MFI and dissolution-induced changes in the Mg/Ca of surface-dwelling foraminifers could provide a tool to correct Mg/Ca–derived sea surface temperature reconstructions for calcite dissolution.

description: Infection with HIV is characterized by a progressive loss of cell mediated immunity and altered cytokine production. The decreased production of the cytokine IL-12 is pivotal in the multi-faceted immune pathogenesis of HIV infection. The objective of this study was to understand the mechanisms of IL-12 production and HIV-mediated inhibition of IL-12 in primary human monocytes. The HIV-mediated effect on LPS-induced IL-12 p40 was investigated through the evaluation of 1) the stress activated protein kinase (SAPK) pathway, 2) HIV-Vpr interactions with the glucocorticoid receptor (GR), and 3) the expression of LPS receptors CD14 and TLR4. Our results indicate that HIV may utilize the SAPK pathway through p38 and JNK to inhibit LPS-induced IL-12 p40 nuclear factors Sp-1, Ets-2, NFkappaB, and AP-1 binding to the promoter, leading to decreased promoter activity, mRNA expression and IL-12 p40 protein production. HIV viral tropism, extracellular Vpr, and intracellular Vpr expressed through a retroviral system were further evaluated for their effects on upstream CDI4, TLR4 and GR expression in the presence and absence of LPS stimulation. In vitro HIV infection resulted in an increase in CD14 expression and a decrease in TLR4 expression both with and without LPS stimulation, while there was no effect on GR expression. The C-terminal Vpr peptide containing the GR binding motif inhibited LPS-induced IL-12 p40 in a GR dependent manner. Vpr further enhanced the GR ligand, dexamethasone, mediated inhibition of IL-12 p40 production. The addition of extracellular Vpr resulted in increased CD14 and GR expression and decreased TLR4 expression following LPS stimulation. Intracellular expression of Vpr inhibited LPS-induced IL-12 p40 and TLR4 receptor expression in a GR dependent mechanism. Furthermore, intracellular expression of Vpr inhibited the CD14 receptor response to LPS while having no effect on GR. The receptor expression and response to intracellular Vpr expression were different in monocytes cultured within PBMC and monocytes cultured in isolation. Overall this study furthers our understanding of HIV-mediated inhibition of IL-12 p40 and highlights a new potential therapeutic target for development to restore IL-12 p40 by targeting the GR binding motif of Vpr.

description: Background: Chronic back pain in employees compromises participation in social and daily activities, as well as work. Objectives: To examine the severity of back pain after 2 years and identify factors predicting stagnation at this level of pain. Methods: Data were derived from a prospective cohort study with randomized sampling of insurants in the German Pension Insurance using a questionnaire at baseline and follow-up after 2 years. The sample consisted of middle-aged employees (45–59 years) with strong limitations due to back pain (Chronic Pain Grade III or IV), who had not applied for disability pension and did not use medical rehabilitation in the previous 4 years before baseline. Stepwise multivariable logistic regression models with backwards selection were used to identify relevant contextual factors in the stagnation of severe back pain. Results: Of 1208 persons with severe back pain at baseline, 48% had stagnated at that pain level after 2 years. Predictors of persistent severe back pain were older age, poorer general health, more additional disabling conditions, more depressive symptoms, caregiving burden, less pain-related self-efficacy and more fear avoidance beliefs. Conclusions: In a high-risk subgroup with several co-existing conditions, this analysis highlights (mental) health, social and personal (contextual) factors associated with long-term unfavourable back pain progression. Significance: Back pain is a condition that often has a chronic or recurrent course, threatening participation in many areas of life. In this study it was found that the unfavourable condition of severe back pain can remain stable for long periods of time in a significant proportion of sufferers. Contextual factors (selfefficacy, fear-avoidance beliefs, caregiving burden) as well as additional health problems should be considered when identifying persons with stagnating pain courses.
