The mediating role of emotion regulation in the relation between panic disorder and smoking cognitions

description: Smoking and panic disorder (PD) are highly comorbid and their combination is associated with greater panic symptoms and worse smoking outcomes. It has been posited that smoking may be an overlearned automatized response to panic relevant distress among smokers with PD. Here smoking is negatively reinforced, via relief of nicotine withdrawal symptoms that may be associated with panic. Over time, these processes may contribute to the development of a set of beliefs and expectancies about smoking that may place smokers with PD at greater risk for greater dependence and difficulty quitting. In order to break down this cycle, research may benefit from identifying underlying and malleable vulnerabilities that may in part contribute to over-learned beliefs about smoking. Emotion regulation (ER), the extent to which one is aware and clear of their emotions as well as their ability to modulate emotional responding, is one relevant vulnerability within this framework that is positively associated with smoking beliefs and panic psychopathology. It is possible that smokers with PD who are not able to regulate emotional states may more readily rely upon smoking to manage affective distress, thereby developing corresponding smoking motives and outcome expectancies. However, to date, no research has investigated the role of ER in the relation between PD and smoking cognitions among daily cigarette smokers. In the current study, the mediating role of difficulty in ER in the relation between PD status and smoking cognitions was examined among 74 daily smokers (39.2%, n=29, diagnosed with PD). Findings indicate that PD status is positively associated with habitual, addictive, and negative affect reduction smoking motives as well as negative reinforcement and negative personal consequence smoking expectancies through difficulties in ER. These results contribute to the understanding of underlying psychological mechanism of persistent smoking behaviors in this population. Interventions that develop and shape ER skills in smokers with PD may help break down negative reinforcement oriented smoking behavior in smokers with PD helping to reduce use and promote cessation.

Structural basis of transcription inhibition by the nucleoside-analog inhibitor thuringiensin
Creators: name: Yin, Ruiheng
Publisher: name: No Publisher Supplied
Year: 2016

description: Thuringiensin (Thg), also known as β-exotoxin, is an adenosine-containing secondary metabolite produced by the soil bacterium Bacillus thuringiensis. Thg exerts broad spectrum bactericidal activity, insecticidal activity, and mammalian toxicity by inhibiting bacterial RNA polymerase (RNAP) and eukaryotic RNAP I, II, and III. Biochemical evidence indicates that Thg inhibits RNAP by functioning as a nucleoside-analog inhibitor (NAI) that competes with ATP for occupancy of the RNAP active center "i+1" nucleotide binding site.    We have determined a crystal structure of a Thermus thermophilus initial transcribing complex in complex with Thg (RPo-GpA-Thg; resolution = 3.2 Å; Rfree = 25.4%). The structure shows that Thg occupies the RNAP active-center "i+1" nucleotide-binding site. The adenine and ribose moieties of Thg make the same interactions with a DNA template-strand thymine, the RNA 3' nucleotide base, and the RNAP "i+1" NTP binding site as are made by the adenine and ribose moieties of ATP. The phosphate, allaric acid, and glucose moieties of Thg make interactions that mimic interactions made by the triphosphate moiety of ATP. In particular, the phosphate moiety of Thg occupies essentially the same position as is occupied by the  phosphate of ATP, and the phosphate moiety and one carboxy group of the allaric acid moiety of Thg coordinate a Mg2+ ion (Mg2+ II) in essentially the same manner and same position as the -phosphate and -phosphate of ATP coordinate Mg2+ II. The structure shows conclusively that Thg inhibits RNAP by functioning as an NAI that competes with ATP for binding to the RNAP active center "i+1" nucleotide binding site.     This structure of RNAP in complex with the non-selective NAI Thg is one of the first two structures of a bacterial RNAP in complex with an NAI.  NAIs of viral nucleotide polymerases have been the subject of intense interest, and immense importance, for the development of anti-HIV and anti-HCV drugs. NAIs of bacterial RNAP only now are beginning to be explored, but show high promise for the development of antibacterial drugs. The structures of the RNAP-Thg complexes provide a starting point for structure-based understanding of bacterial-RNAP-selectivity of NAIs and for structure-based design of more potent bacterial-RNAP-selective NAIs.

Boreophilia nomensis: Lohse in Lohse et al., 1990: 160 (as valid species).
Type material. Lectotype of Dinaraea nomensis (designated by Lohse et al. (1990)): UNITED STATES: Alaska: ♂, Nome (NMNH).
Holotype of Boreophilia caseyiana: CANADA: Yukon Territory: ♂, North Fork Pass, Ogilvie Mts., 3500’, 17.vi.1962 (R.E.Leech) (CNCI).
Diagnosis. See Lohse et al. (1990).
Discussion. Lohse (Lohse et al. 1990) considered the single type of Din. nomensis in the Casey collection as the holotype. However, Casey (1910a) neither used the word “ holotype ” nor stated that he had the single specimen of that species. Therefore, Lohse designated the lectotype of Din. nomensis by inference of holotype (Article 74.6; ICZN 1999).
Lohse (Lohse et al. 1990) stated that “the aedeagi of B. caseyiana and B. nomensis are extremely similar”. However, based on a larger body size (3.8 mm versus 3.0 mm) and a less transverse pronotum (width to length ratio 11 /5 versus 11 /3) of the holotype of Boreophilia caseyiana in comparison to the lectotype of Din. nomensis, Lohse considered the two as separate species. The aedeagi of the types of both species, including the sclerites of the internal sac, are in fact identical. According to my measuring, in the holotype of Boreophilia caseyiana the body length is 3.6 mm and pronotal width to length ratio is 1.22. In the lectotype of Din. nomensis the body length is 3.3 mm, and pronotal width to length ratio is 1.29. In Athetini, such difference in body length and pronotal width is not unusual within the same species. Considering the identity of the aedeagi I place Boreophilia caseyiana in synonymy with Boreophilia nomensis.
Distribution. Boreophilia nomensis is known from Alaska and Yukon Territory.

Are all Muslims treated the same? Racial and ethnic differences in perceived discrimination among Muslim Americans
Creators: name: Zainiddinov, Hakim
Publisher: name: No Publisher Supplied
Year: 2016

description: BACKGROUND: Discrimination against Muslim Americans has been broadly researched and well documented. Yet, this group has been mainly looked at through an oversimplified homogenizing lens. Studies that have explored sources of heterogeneity in Muslim Americans’ experiences of perceived discrimination are absent.   OBJECTIVES: This study examines the prevalence and correlates of perceived discrimination across Muslim American racial/ethnic groups; focuses on differences in perceived discrimination among Muslim Americans based on their religious identity, practices, and beliefs; and analyzes the extent to which Muslim Americans differ in their perceptions of being discriminated against as a group.  DATA: Data come from the 2011 Muslim American Survey conducted by the Pew Research Center with a representative sample of 1,033 Muslim adults 18 years old and older living in the U.S.   METHODS: Bivariate, binary and multinomial logistic regression, and moderation analyses are conducted to examine the prevalence of perceived discrimination across Muslim American racial/ethnic groups; to predict their perceptions of discrimination; and evaluate the extent to which the effects of race/ethnicity on perceived discrimination vary by gender, religious practices, and community involvement.  RESULTS: Hispanic Muslims report the highest and Asian Muslims report the lowest frequency of perceived discrimination. Nearly all Muslim racial/ethnic groups have higher odds of reporting one or more types of perceived discrimination, relative to white Muslims. Muslim women are less likely than Muslim men to report several forms of discrimination. Older Muslims report lower rates of perceived discrimination than younger Muslims. White Muslim men are more likely to report experiencing discrimination than white, black, and Asian Muslim women. All Muslim racial/ethnic minority groups with high levels of religious practices report higher odds of perceived discrimination, compared to their white counterparts. Muslim Americans who identify themselves as other/mixed race and Hispanic report higher odds of perceived group discrimination than white Muslims. The community engagement measure is a prominent factor in shaping perceptions of group discrimination for Muslim Americans.  CONCLUSIONS: The findings highlight varying degrees of perceived discrimination among Muslim American racial/ethnic groups and suggest that future studies examine negative implications for Muslims who are at the greatest risk of mistreatment.

Type material. Lectotype of Atheta angusticornis (here designated): ♂ (with broken antennae), “ Mt. Washgtn [Washington] N.[ew] H.[ampshire]”, “July”, white circle, “ angusticornis Brh. Typ. ”, “ angusticornis Brh. Typus” (yellow label), “Chicago NHMus M.Bernhauer Collection ” (FMNH). Paralectotype: ♀ (with missing head and prothorax), “ Mt. Washgtn [Washington] N.[ew] H.[ampshire] Fenyes”, “ angusticornis Brh. Cotypus ” (yellow label), “Chicago NHMus M.Bernhauer Collection ” (FMNH).
Lectotype of Metaxya plutonica (here designated): ♀, “ Subalpine Mt. Wn. [Washington] N.[ew] H.[ampshire] vii.7.1899”, “ plutonica Csy. ”, “TYPE USNM 39064” (red label), “CASEY bequest 1925” (NMNH).
Diagnosis. Boreophilia angusticornis is closely related to Palaearctic Boreophilia subplana (J. Sahlberg, 1880) but differs in the shape of the aedeagus (Figs. 120–123), particularly a narrower apex of the median lobe (in parameral view) (cf. Fig. 73 in Brundin 1953 and Fig. 120 in this paper).
Discussion. The lectotype of Me. plutonica and the paralectotype of At. angusticornis are similar in external characters and also in the shape of the spermatheca. The two species were described from the same locality. I consider Me. plutonica to be a synonym of Boreophilia angusticornis.
Distribution. Boreophilia angusticornis is known only from the Mount Washington, New Hampshire. This area was affected by the last glaciation and is unlikely to have relict endemic species. Boreophilia angusticornis may occur in other high mountains of the north­eastern United States and also in Canada, at lower altitudes further north.

Boreostiba Lohse in Lohse et al., 1990: 190 (type species: Homalota sibirica Mäklin, 1880, by original designation).
Diagnosis. See Lohse et al. (1990).
Discussion. Lohse et al. (1990) included in the genus Boreostiba five species. Two of them, Boreostiba sibirica (Mäklin, 1880) (the type species) and Boreostiba frigida (J. Sahlberg, 1880) (see Discussion for that species), have a long, completely fused and tubelike bridge of the median lobe and enlarged condilites of the parameres. Two other species included in Boreostiba by Lohse (Lohse et al. 1990), Boreostiba hudsonica Lohse, 1990 (a junior synonym of Atheta parvipennis Bernhauer, 1907; see above) and Boreostiba campbelliana Lohse, 1990 lack these features of the aedeagus and are very similar to a species (Dimetrota smetanai Lohse, 1990) placed by Lohse in a different genus. The males of Boreostiba lagunae Lohse, 1990 are unknown but this species is more similar to Boreostiba campbelliana than to Boreostiba sibirica. Until a generic revision of Athetini is completed, Boreostiba hudsonica, Boreostiba campbelliana and Boreostiba lagunae are placed in Atheta.

description: Chemical biomarker tools, including stable isotope and fatty acid analysis, can reveal elusive trophic relationships among plants and animals.  In this dissertation, I used biomarkers in combination with other approaches to explore trophic dynamics and ecological phenomena across a range of aquatic systems from a system-wide to an individual scale.     At the largest scale, I assessed spatial and temporal isotopic variability among fish throughout a large, oligotrophic lake (Chapter 1). I found that space had a generally greater effect than did time. The variability observed was greater than that in similar lakes with greater anthropogenic impact, similar to shifts attributed to introduced species, and less than changes attributed to eutrophication.  These results provide important context for studies of changes in lake ecosystems around the world.      At a species scale, I investigated causes (Chapter 2) and effects (Chapter 3) of an increase in abundance of an estuarine jellyfish species.  To investigate drivers of this increase, I used field and shoreline-type GIS data to build a model for jellyfish abundance, used that model to hindcast jellyfish abundance, and then qualitatively validated the hindcasts against local ecological knowledge (LEK) about jellyfish abundance. Hindcasted abundances corresponded with LEK and shoreline development was one of several significant predictors of abundance.  These results support a growing body of work connecting anthropogenic development with jellyfish abundance.  I then examined trophic ramifications of this increase, comparing abundance and stable isotope data between regions with contrasting levels of jellyfish abundance.  Results suggested that the jellyfish are likely intraguild predators, with likely cascading effects on the system and possible seasonal patterns of predation and but no dramatic differences in the food web structure between regions.     At an individual scale, in Chapter 4, I investigated individual diet specialization in three species of highly mobile pelagic predators using a combination of stable isotope, fatty acid, and stomach content analysis. All three study species of predator demonstrated generalist feeding habits; supporting the idea that highly mobile species, not subject to classic constraints of density dependence, may be better served by generalist rather than specialist feeding strategies.

Who Are the Chosen Poor?: An Examination of Cross-Sector Partnerships for Development Projects Between MNCs and Local NGOs in Thailand
Creators: name: Pulsawasd, Sorawit
Publisher: name: University of East London
Year: 2024

description: This PhD thesis aims to investigate the cross-sector collaboration or social partnership between Southern development non-governmental organisations (SDNGOs) and Northern multinational corporations (NMNCs) in terms of the selection process of their potential beneficiaries from the entire population in need for development projects. To address this question of ‘who are the (chosen) poor?’, this study’s core research questions ask (1) how do SDNGOs define, choose, or approach their potential intended beneficiaries and (2) what implications do SDNGOs consider when defining, choosing, and approaching potential beneficiaries for development projects with Northern MNCs?

To answer these questions, this study moves beyond the concept of ‘authentic partnership’—the most commonly used scholarly approach towards partnership under NGO and Development Studies—instead opting to employ the framework of development as service delivery. This thesis addresses a gap in the literature by utilising this framework to specifically analyse SDNGO–NMNC partnerships working on development projects to develop more comprehensive understandings of the practice on the ground, drawing on two case studies, EDF–IKEA Thailand and FOPDEV–Prudential Thailand.

Semi-structured interviews and focus groups involving both partnership members and their relevant stakeholders, including selected beneficiaries and non-beneficiaries of the case studies, were conducted to provide multidimensional perspectives for the analytical focus of this thesis, taking a qualitative and interpretivist philosophical approach, with particular emphasis on Bourdieu’s ‘theory of practice’. Moreover, this study uses NGOs’ conceptualisation of poverty; the stakeholder theory; the willingness, capacity, and capability of the beneficiaries; and the theory of project management as the means to analysing SDNGOs’ decision making with regard to their selection of their intended beneficiaries, providing fresh insights to the discipline of Development Studies.

This thesis ultimately highlights the significance of SDNGO–NMNC social partnerships with regard to their activities in the Global South, where there is a critical need for ongoing developmental efforts.

Year: 2016

description: The advances of microbial predictive modeling techniques facilitate Quantitative Microbial Risk Assessment (QMRA), which can extensively contribute to the food safety in meat industry in the United States. However, the challenges of predictive modeling cannot be neglected, an example of which is the intermediately induced lag phase. This research sought to expose this problem by validation of a predictive model for Salmonella growth on ground beef. Salmonella is an important pathogen related to beef consumption. ComBase is a predictive database that can be used to predict microbial behaviors with a variety of environmental conditions in a dynamic manner. The literature review part of this thesis discusses general properties of Salmonella, the implication of Salmonella in beef and beef products, the applications of Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Points (HACCP) and QMRA in meat industry, methods of predictive modeling, challenges and validation of predictive modeling. The laboratory work of this thesis exposed the fail-safe phenomenon under a fluctuating temperature profile. Ground beef (20% fat) was inoculated with a cocktail composed of five strains of Salmonella. The inoculated ground beef was subjected to programmable water bath with different temperature profiles. Enumeration of Salmonella was conducted with proper time intervals. The observed Salmonella concentrations were compared ComBase predictions, accuracy and bias factors, as well as final differences between the observed and the predicted were calculated. The results showed that the model was very fail-safe. According to literature review and previous study in our laboratory, we excluded background microflora from the major reasons causing the high deviation. And we speculated that the deviation was mainly resulted from temperature-induced intermediate lag phase.

description: In this thesis, we study an open set recognition algorithm that is based on the Sparse  Representation-based Classification (SRC) method. By modeling the tail distributions  of the matched and non-matched reconstruction errors using the statistical Extreme  Value Theory (EVT), we simplify the open set recognition problem into a set of hy-  pothesis testing problems. The confidence scores corresponding to the tail distributions  of a novel test sample are then fused to determine its identity. The effectiveness of  the proposed method is demonstrated using three publicly available image and object  classification datasets and it is shown that this method can perform significantly better  than many competitive open set recognition algorithms.

More and more attention has been paid on MetS due to many reasons. For example, a quarter of the world’s adults have MetS, especially in developed countries; people with MetS has a five-fold greater risk of developing type II diabetes and three-times as likely to have a heart attack or stroke; and over 80% of the 200 million people with diabetes globally will die of cardiovascular diseases. In recent years, tea which is brewed from the plant Camellia sinensis has become increasingly popular for research because of its possible beneficial effects on human health, in particular in the area of MetS prevention. These beneficial qualities have mainly been attributed to catechins.    In the present study, green tea polyphenols, Polyphenon E (PPE) and EGCG, were investigated in db/db and wild type mice to determine their effects on suppression of blood glucose level and activation of AMP-activated kinase (AMPK). Treatment of db/db mice with PPE (0.1% i.g.) or EGCG (200 or 400 mg/kg) decreased the level of blood glucose and increased the level of insulin both in blood or pancreas. Further, EGCG at 100, 200, and 400 mg/kg time- and dose-dependently up-regulated the phosphorylation of AMPK in liver, but it did not increase the oxidative stress. Melatonin, a strongly anti-oxidative compound, at 50 mg/kg (i.g.) was unable to block the effects of EGCG on activating AMPK. Together, these data suggest that green tea polyphenols or EGCG can alleviate MetS possibly through the activation of AMPK in liver, and the activation of AMPK by EGCG appears not to involve the reactive oxygen species in mice.

Light management in ultra-thin conjugated polymer layers using plasmonic nanostructures for optoelectronic applications

description: Plasmonics is a research area encompassing the fields of optics and nanoelectronics by confining light with relative large free-space wavelength to the nanometer scale. Specifically, plasmonic metal nanostructures have the potential to manage and enhance optical electromagnetic fields, making them essential tools for applications in fields such as photovoltaics, nano-optical sensors, enhanced information storage, light-emitting devices and photocatalysis. Also, the relatively high carrier transport rate, lower cost and synthetic tenability have given rise to an increasing amount of research on ultra-thin conjugated polymer films based optoelectronic devices, which indicates its essential role in next generation devices. Here, we demonstrate the deposition of gold monopole nanoantenna arrays onto sub-50 nm poly(3-hexylthiophene) (P3HT) films on Ag substrate can result in significant absorption enhancement (>12 at the P3HT band edge) and spectral broadening (more than 250 nm increase) relative to P3HT/Ag films without plasmonic nanorod arrays. Full-field electromagnetic simulations are used to identify the modes of the plasmonic nanorod array/P3HT/Ag film system. In our case, gap modes are the primary contributor to the local field enhancement, hence the absorption enhancement in polythiophene thin film “gap” region. We then seek to validate the gap modes effect using single nanoparticle (NP) spectroscopy in the Ag NP/P3HT/Ag film system. Furthermore, future proposed work including photocurrent measurement through fabrication of ultra-thin nanoantenna incorporated organic photovoltaic devices, internal photoemission and light emitting diodes will be discussed.

The perils of pluralism
Creators: name: Wexler, Stuart

description: Many scholars believe that James Madison was one of the earliest proponents of political pluralism. In Federalist No. 10 Madison argued that an extended republic would minimize the danger of majority factions by allowing various interests to compete and compromise with each other. Nearly a century later, with the proliferation of minority factions-- interest groups-- Madison’s ideas enjoyed a renaissance among scholars. Some, like Arthur Bentley, took pressure group theory even further, arguing that there was no such thing as a national interest, that whatever policy emerges from the interplay of interests, by its nature, exemplifies the relative weight of these interests in society. Yet others saw the growing number of special interests as a threat to the common good.   Madison insisted that minority factions not possibly threaten the national interest—they would simply be outvoted by way of the “republican principle.” More recently, a new group of scholars, neo-pluralists, have described an American system similar to Madison. This paper argues that while the neo-pluralists, and Madison, provide a model of government that accurately captures much of the American system, they fail to take note of one key way that interest groups can exploit the American political system. When the national interest is at stake, rational interest group leaders recognize the prospects that a given bill will become a law, and adjust their strategies accordingly.  They work to soften or undermine the bill instead, leaving an incoherent policy in the aftermath.  To test this theory, this paper uses a detailed case study of the Brady Handgun Violence Protection Act. A detailed analysis of the activity of the National Rifle Association shows that the group, as one spokesperson noted, “saw the writing on the wall” and weakened the bill in key ways. Notably, the efforts of the NRA, both during the crafting of the bill, and in the years that followed, crippled law enforcement’s ability to regulate the secondary gun market. Hence the one thing that gun-control and gun-rights activists can agree on—keeping weapons out of the hands of criminals--  is not possible due to the influence of minority factions.
