description: In most clinical trials, thiazolidinediones do not show any relevant anti-cancer activity when used as mono-therapy. Clinical inefficacy contrasts ambiguous pre-clinical data either favoring anti-tumor activity or tumor promotion. However, if thiazolidinediones are combined with additional regulatory active drugs, so-called ‘master modulators’ of tumors, i.e., transcriptional modulators, metronomic low-dose chemotherapy, epigenetically modifying agents, protein binding pro-anakoinotic drugs, such as COX-2 inhibitors, IMiDs, etc., the results indicate clinically relevant communicative reprogramming of tumor tissues, i.e., anakoinosis, meaning ‘communication’ in ancient Greek. The concerted activity of master modulators may multifaceted diversify palliative care or even induce continuous complete remission in refractory metastatic tumor disease and hematologic neoplasia by establishing novel communicative behavior of tumor tissue, the hosting organ, and organism. Re-modulation of gene expression, for example, the up-regulation of tumor suppressor genes, may recover differentiation, apoptosis competence, and leads to cancer control—in contrast to an immediate, ‘poisoning’ with maximal tolerable doses of targeted/cytotoxic therapies. The key for uncovering the therapeutic potential of Peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor γ (PPARγ) agonists is selecting the appropriate combination of master modulators for inducing anakoinosis: Now, anakoinosis is trend setting by establishing a novel therapeutic pillar while overcoming classic obstacles of targeted therapies, such as therapy resistance and (molecular-)genetic tumor heterogeneity.

description: Neuroleon ochreatus (Navás, 1904)
The larva of this species was described for the first time by Auber (1956a), followed few years later by Steffan (1965) who also included it in identification keys (Steffan 1971, 1975).
Examined specimens. France. Hérault, La Grande Motte, coastal sand dune, VII.2011 (D. Badano), 2 L3 laboratory-reared to adults.
Description of 3 rd instar larva. Size (based on Steffan 1965): BL 8.64–12.40 mm, HL 1.62–1.80 mm, HW 1.62–1.89 mm, ML 1.62–1.89 mm. General colouring very pale, whitish grey with a dark pattern; dorsal side of the head capsule mostly covered by a pair black markings extending on the sides, a smaller black marking stains the tentorial pits, clypeo-labrum and area of the ocular tubercles unmarked, ventral side of the head very pale with a darker area at the insertion of the mandibles; labial palpi dark brown; mandibles brown with a dark apex; legs pale; setae of the body mostly black. Head longer than wide; mandibles comparatively long, at least as the head capsule; interdental mandibular setae (+4)(1)(1)(0); sparse setae on the external margin of the mandible. Mesothoracic spiracles whitish. Abdominal spiracles whitish; IX abdominal sternite with two rastra equipped with 4 digging setae, internal seta less than a half the size of the others.
Bio-ecology. A poorly known species mainly reported from warm and xeric environments such as coastal sand dunes, internal sandy deposits and river banks.
Distribution. Western Mediterranean faunal element, known for the Iberian Peninsula, France and Italy.
Remarks. The larva of N. ochreatus is recognizable from the congeners for the whitish body colour, the large dark markings covering most of the dorsal side of the head and the whitish spiracles.

description: Background
Numerous epidemiologic studies have examined the relation of physical activity or cardiorespiratory fitness to risk of cutaneous melanoma but the available evidence has not yet been quantified in a systematic review and meta-analysis.

Methods
Following the preferred reporting items for systematic reviews and meta-analyses (PRISMA), we identified 3 cohort studies (N = 12,605 cases) and 5 case-control studies (N = 1,295 cases) of physical activity and melanoma incidence, and one cohort study (N = 49 cases) of cardiorespiratory fitness and melanoma risk.

Results
Cohort studies revealed a statistically significant positive association between high versus low physical activity and melanoma risk (RR = 1.27, 95% CI = 1.16–1.40). In contrast, case-control studies yielded a statistically non-significant inverse risk estimate for physical activity and melanoma (RR = 0.85, 95% CI = 0.63–1.14; P-difference = 0.02). The only available cohort study of cardiorespiratory fitness and melanoma risk reported a positive but statistically not significant association between the two (RR = 2.19, 95% CI = 0.99–4.96). Potential confounding by ultraviolet (UV) radiation-related risk factors was a major concern in cohort but not case-control studies.

Conclusions
It appears plausible that the positive relation of physical activity and cardiorespiratory fitness to melanoma observed in cohort studies is due to residual confounding by UV radiation-related risk factors.

Impact
Future prospective studies need to examine the association between physical activity, cardiorespiratory fitness and melanoma after detailed adjustment for UV radiation-related skin damage.

description: Compressidens Pilsbry & Sharp, 1897
Type species
Dentalium pressum Pilsbry & Sharp, 1897 (original designation).
Diagnosis
Shell small to medium, well curved, solid, translucent, opaque or polished. Section oval, strongly compressed dorsoventrally. Sculpture variable, with longitudinal riblets, undulations or fine, close encircling wrinkles; growth lines conspicuous. Apex simple or truncate, preapical callus usually wide, lumen circular.
Remarks
According to Scarabino (1995), the genus Compressidens shows confusing characters that do not allow placement in the present classifications, specially the dorsoventrally compressed shell. This genus comprises about nine species (Steiner & Kabat 2004) and it was firstly included within Gadilida (Watson 1879; Pilsbry & Sharp 1897; Emerson 1962) and also among Dentaliida (Henderson 1920; Palmer 1974). Subsequent radular study (Kraeuter 1972) confirmed it to belong to Gadilida. At the family level, the controversy still remains with systematic arrangements including this genus in Siphonodentaliidae (Emerson 1962; Kraeuter 1972), Pulsellidae (Scarabino 1994) and more recently as incertae sedis (Scarabino 1995; Steiner & Kabat 2001).

Political Communication

description: Technological advancements, particularly in communication, have profoundly influenced various domains, including politics, society, military affairs, and culture. These innovations have reshaped diplomacy, altering the mechanisms of international relations and the tools at their disposal. The rise of digital communication has broadened the capacity of international public opinion to wield global influence. Consequently, the form, purpose, and tools of communication—especially the reciprocal nature of these interactions—have gained heightened significance within the framework of international power dynamics. Integrating public diplomacy with Web 2.0 technologies has given rise to the concept of digital public diplomacy, which now serves as a critical extension of soft power. Increasingly, international actors are leveraging this form of diplomacy to balance and complement their material power capacities, making digital adaptation a pivotal strategy in global power struggles. This study approaches the international power competition as a contest for hegemony. It explores the influence and role of digital diplomacy and digital public diplomacy through hegemonic frameworks, with examples drawn from various countries. Additionally, the study interrogates whether digital public diplomacy is executed effectively and in line with its theoretical importance, distinguishing it from other forms of political communication. It further seeks to determine whether digital public diplomacy, as a power element, aligns with its conceptual definition, employing hegemonic approaches to investigate its application in a competitive global order. Through both qualitative analysis and numerical methods, this study explores the practice and implications of digital public diplomacy. By analyzing public diplomacy, digital public diplomacy, and digital communication through the lens of the U.S.'s use of digital diplomacy as a hegemonic tool, this research highlights case studies from the Arab Spring, New Zealand, and Iran to illustrate the evolving impact of revolutionary movements on global political dynamics. This study offers an innovative contribution by framing international relations through digital public diplomacy, a relatively nascent and evolving area of research.

description: Megistopus Rambur, 1842
Diagnosis. Mandibles comparatively long, equipped with 3 pairs of teeth; pronotum covered by long setae; mesothoracic spiracles pronounced, raised on tubercle; thoracic setiferous processes pedunculated; odontoid processes of the VIII sternite atrophied or completely absent; IX sternite with rastra bearing 4 pairs of digging setae of which the internal pair is not over a quarter the others in length.
Examined species. M. flavicornis (Rossi, 1790), M. lucasi (Navás, 1912).
Comments. An exclusively western Palaearctic genus, Megistopus comprises 3 species: the widespread M. flavicornis (Rossi, 1790), M. mirabilis (Hölzel, 1980), known for a single specimen from Sinai and finally M. lucasi (Navás, 1912) reported from Algeria and Tunisia (H. Aspöck et al. 2001; Güsten 2003). The latter species was overlooked for a considerable time, being originally described as a member of the genus Nelees Navás, 1912 (now synonym of Neuroleon Navás, 1909), despite the correct genus placement was already recognized by Banks (1913). This interesting species is also present in Italy ([Bernardi] Iori et al. 1995; Letardi & Pantaleoni 1996; Letardi & Maltzeff 2001), although the Italian specimens were originally assigned to M. mirabilis. The larva of M. flavicornis is the only species of the genus whose larva is known (Steffan 1965; Cesaroni et al. 2010).

description: The accelerated metabolism of tumor cells, inevitable for maintaining high proliferation rates, is an emerging target for tumor therapy. Increased glucose and lipid metabolism as well as mitochondrial activity have been shown in solid tumors but also in leukemic cells. As tumor cells are able to escape the blockade of one metabolic pathway by a compensatory increase in other pathways, treatment strategies simultaneously targeting metabolism at different sites are currently developed. However, the number of clinically applicable anti-metabolic drugs is still limited. Here, we analyzed the impact of the anti-diabetic drug metformin alone or in combination with two non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) diclofenac and diflunisal on acute myeloid leukemia (AML) cell lines and primary patient blasts. Diclofenac but not diflunisal reduced lactate secretion in different AML cell lines (THP-1, U937, and KG-1) and both drugs increased respiration at low concentrations. Despite these metabolic effects, both NSAIDs showed a limited effect on tumor cell proliferation and viability up to a concentration of 0.2 mM. In higher concentrations of 0.4-0.8 mM diflunisal alone exerted a clear effect on proliferation of AML cell lines and blocked respiration. Single treatment with the anti-diabetic drug metformin blocked mitochondrial respiration, but proliferation and viability were not affected. However, combining all three drugs exerted a strong cytostatic and cytotoxic effect on THP-1 cells. Comparable to the results obtained with THP-1 cells, the combination of all three drugs significantly reduced proliferation of primary leukemic blasts and induced apoptosis. Furthermore, NSAIDs supported the effect of low dose chemotherapy with cytarabine and reduced proliferation of primary AML blasts. Taken together we show that low concentrations of metformin and the two NSAIDs diclofenac and diflunisal exert a synergistic inhibitory effect on AML proliferation and induce apoptosis most likely by blocking tumor cell metabolism. Our results underline the feasibility of applying anti-metabolic drugs for AML therapy.

description: Background Age-related macular degeneration (AMD) is the leading cause of blindness in industrialized countries. It is a multifactorial disease of the retina modified by environmental/individual (e.g. smoking) and genetic factors. 34 independent genomic loci are associated with the risk to develop AMD; an interaction between smoking and genetics is currently investigated. It is unclear how the knowledge on the strong genetic component has entered the knowledge base of practicing ophthalmologists, and how they inform and counsel their (AMD) patients about it. In this study, we explore the ophthalmologist's view on AMD genetics, and their inclination towards communicating genetic risks to patients. Methods We recruited a purposive sample of thirty German ophthalmologists (office based: n = 15, hospital employees: n = 15, f:8/30), who took part in a recorded semi-standardized interview. Transcripts were analyzed using content analysis. Results The majority of office-based ophthalmologists claimed to be unfamiliar with genetics of AMD, in contrast to hospital-affiliated ophthalmologists. Both office and hospital ophthalmologists were convinced that genetics lacks practical relevance in everyday patient care. Many withhold information on heritability or genetic background of AMD from patients and their relatives, for fear of unsettling those individuals. The relevance of the genetic component of AMD or an individual's high genetic risk for prevention, e.g. screening or lifestyle modifications in persons with adverse genetic profile, was rated low. Conclusion Developing genetic educational programs tailored to the routine care of ophthalmologists may be indicated, as well as a better two-way communication between research and practice. Exploring patient views about their expectations to being informed about genetic disease etiology, or about their individual risk, would help inform communication strategies.

description: Effective and tolerable salvage therapies for elderly patients with chemorefractory acute myeloid leukemia (AML) are limited and usually do not change the poor clinical outcome. We recently described in several chemorefractory elderly AML patients that a novel biomodulatory treatment regimen consisting of low-dose azacitidine (AZA) in combination with PPAR gamma agonist pioglitazone (PGZ) and all-trans retinoic acid (ATRA) induced complete remission of leukemia and also triggered myeloid differentiation with rapid increase of peripheral blood neutrophils. Herein, we further investigated our observations and comprehensively analyzed cell differentiation in primary AML blasts after treatment with ATRA, AZA, and PGZ ex vivo. The drug combination was found to significantly inhibit cell growth as well as to induce cell differentiation in about half of primary AML blasts samples independent of leukemia subtype. Notably and in comparison to ATRA/AZA/PGZ triple-treatment, effects on cell growth and myeloid differentiation with ATRA monotherapy was much less efficient. Morphological signs of myeloid cell differentiation were further confirmed on a functional basis by demonstrating increased production of reactive oxygen species as well as enhanced phagocytic activity in AML blasts treated with ATRA/AZA/PGZ. In conclusion, we show that biomodulatory treatment with ATRA/AZA/PGZ can induce phenotypical and functional differentiation of primary AML blasts into neutrophil like cells, which aside from its antileukemic activity may lower neutropenia associated infection rates in elderly AML patients in vivo. Clinical impact of the ATRA/AZA/PGZ treatment regimen is currently further investigated in a randomized clinical trial in chemorefractory AML patients (NCT02942758).

description: Correlation for $p_T$ cross section between 0.8 < |y| < 1.2 and 0.4 < |y| < 0.8
description: CERN-LHC. This paper presents for the first time a precise measurement of the production properties of the $Z$ boson in the full phase space of the decay leptons. This is in contrast to the many previous precise unfolded measurements performed in the fiducial phase space of the decay leptons. The measurement is obtained from proton--proton collision data collected by the ATLAS experiment in 2012 at $\sqrt{s} = 8$ TeV at the LHC and corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 20.2 fb$^{-1}$. The results, based on a total of 15.3 million $Z$-boson decays to electron and muon pairs, extend and improve a previous measurement of the full set of angular coefficients describing $Z$-boson decay. The double-differential cross-section distributions in $Z$-boson transverse momentum $p_T$ and rapidity $y$ are measured in the pole region, defined as $80 < m_{\ell\ell} < 100$ GeV, over the range $|y| < 3.6$. The total uncertainty of the normalised cross-section measurements in the peak region of the $p_T$ distribution is dominated by statistical uncertainties over the full range and increases as a function of rapidity from $0.5-1.0$% for $|y| < 2.0$ to $2-7$% at higher rapidities. The results for the rapidity-dependent transverse momentum distributions are compared to state-of-the-art QCD predictions, which combine in the best cases approximate N$^4$LL resummation with N$^3$LO fixed-order perturbative calculations. The differential rapidity distributions integrated over $p_T$ are even more precise, with accuracies from $0.2-0.3$% for $|y| < 2.0$ to $0.4-0.9$% at higher rapidities, and are compared to fixed-order QCD predictions using the most recent parton distribution functions. The agreement between data and predictions is quite good in most cases.

Arvicola scherman Shaw 1801, Gen. Zool., Part II, Pt. 1: 75.
Type Locality: Germany, Strassburg.
Vernacular Names: Montane Water Vole.
Synonyms: Arvicola albus (Bechstein 1801); Arvicola argentoratensis Desmarest 1822; Arvicola buffonii (Fischer 1829); Arvicola cantabriae Ventura and Gosálbez 1989; Arvicola canus (Bechstein 1801); Arvicola castaneus de Sélys Longchamps 1845; Arvicola exilis Lydekker 1910; Arvicola exitus Miller 1910; Arvicola gutsulius Zagorodnyuk 2000; Arvicola monticola de Sélys Longchamps 1838; Arvicola minor (Leske 1779); Arvicola niger de Sélys Longchamps 1845; Arvicola schermaus (Hermann 1804).
Distribution: Mountains of N Spain, through C Europe (S Netherlands to SC France and eastwards to Slovakia), to C Romania (Panteleyev, 2000:Fig. 2).
Discussion: Earlier recognized as a species (Trouessart, 1910; Miller, 1912 a; Hinton, 1926 a; Ognev, 1950) until Ellerman and Morrison-Scott (1951) reassigned scherman as another subspecies of an all-embracing terrestris, a classification observed through the late 1900s (Gromov and Polyakov, 1977; Corbet, 1978 c, 1984; Honacki et al., 1982; Corbet and Hill, 1991; Musser and Carleton, 1993). However, the two long known ecological morphotypes clearly correspond to two biological species: an amphibious form (A. amphibius) that is widely distributed in Eurasia, and a smaller fossorial species (A. scherman) isolated in certain European mountains (Alps, Carpathians, Cantabrian, Massif Central, Pyrenees). They contrast in body mass, pelage coloration, social behavior, mating system, use of space, cranial size and shape, and incisor protrusion (LaVille, 1989; Mitchell-Jones et al., 1999; Panteleyev, 1996; Sausy, 2000; Warmerdam, 1982). In the Netherlands and Belgium, Warmerdam (1982) meticuously characterized the geographic complementarity and morphometric discrimination of the two forms, as did Panteleyev (1996) in a geographically broader synopsis of the two. Although both authors ultimately retained the fossorial scherman as a distinctive race of terrestris (here = A. amphibius), theirs is an exceptionally robust application of subspecies usage. Based on this persuasive body of literature, coupled with examinations of AMNH and USNM series, we can only endorse the recent views of Panteleyev (2000) and Zagorodnyuk (1992 b, c, 2000) in acknowledging scherman as a species. Genetic distances based on allozymic analysis are slightly less between samples of A. scherman and A. amphibius than are any pair-wise comparisons among 10 Microtus species sampled by Mezhzherin et al. (1993).

description: Background: In cases of lead failure after implantation of pacemakers (PM) or implantable cardioverter defibrillators (ICD) early lead replacement may be challenging. Puncture of the subclavian vein bears possible complications such as pneumothorax, hematothorax, and damage of leads to be left in place. To avoid venous puncture PM or ICD leads were replaced using a flexible polypropylene sheath (Byrd-sheath). Method: From January 2010 through December 2017, 55 patients underwent early lead exchange avoiding venous puncture. Early lead exchange for this study was defined as a reintervention within 14 days after the initial lead implantation. The connector of the malfunctioning lead was cut off, and stabilized by a stiff stylet. After having cut off the plastic knob of the stylet, the lead was passed through the polypropylene sheath and the latter advanced into the subclavian vein with gentle rotational movements to gain access to the subclavian vein. After lead removal the polypropylene sheath was replaced by a peel away sheath a new lead inserted. Results: Overall, 23 defibrillation leads and 34 pacing leads (16 right atrial leads, 17 right ventricular leads, and 1 left ventricular lead) were successfully explanted. Access to the subclavian vein was uneventful, and blood loss minimal. Radiation exposure and fluoroscopy time were also negligible. Conclusion: The Byrd-sheath technique proved to be safe and successful in providing vein access within 2 weeks after initial lead implantation using the previously implanted lead and thus avoiding puncture of the subclavian vein.

description: P. disala
larval morphology. Body small, hairy, male 4-4.5 mm, female 5-5.5 mm. Head and pronotum with faint, darker pattern (Fig. 1A). Antennal segments 44-46. Lacinia palmate, with long, stout apical teeth, long dorsal and ventral combs of 12-14 long bristles, and striated palm surface devoid of hairs (Figs. 2-3). Left mandible with 4 major unserrated apical teeth, inner molar pad with small, short marginal comb of about 10 teeth, and a large palmate brush of many long bristly hairs (Figs. 6-7). Pronotum rectangular with complete marginal fringe of long hairs (Fig. 1A). Apterous (wingpads absent) (Fig. 1A), reflecting condition of adults (Stark & Baumann 2004). Femora clothed with long bristly hairs, tibia clothed with hairs and with an outer fringe of long hairs (Fig. 1B). Abdominal segments clothed with numerous hairs, and with distinct posterior tergal hair fringe (Fig. 1A). Sexual dimorphism evident; male 10thtergum with a tubular process (Fig. 1D, E), female 10thtergum without a process (Fig. 1C). Cercal segments more than 28 (tips broken off on all available larvae), with apical circlet of bristles and no intercalary hairs or bristles (Fig. 1F).
Generic and species diagnoses. The generic diagnosis of a bristly (hairy) body separating Paracapnia larvae from those of the other capniid genera (Stewart & Stark 1988, 2002) is upheld by this study of P. disala, but their mention and illustration of “a few short intercalary bristles” on the cercal segments of P. angulata was incorrect. I have reexamined their P. angulata larval material from Wythe County Virginia, and specimens from Wisconsin and West Virginia, and there are no intercalary hairs present on cercal segments, as is also the case with P. disala (Fig. 1F); therefore, absence of cercal intercalary hairs is the current generic interpretation for Paracapnia.
There is interesting species difference between larvae of the eastern P. angulata and western P. disala. Those of P. angulata have macropterous wingpads, and the lacinia bears a short ventral comb of 6 or 7 medium length bristles (Figs. 4-5), whereas those of P. disala are apterous, with no wingpads (Fig. 1A), and the lacinia bears a long ventral comb of 12-14 long bristles (Figs. 2-3). The mandibles of both species are similar in teeth, molar pad, and brush of long, bristly hairs in the palm (Figs. 6-8). It will be interesting in future study of the larvae of Paracapnia opis and those of the three other western Paracapnia species to see if the same east-west wingpad condition/lacinial differences hold.

description: This paper proposes a new way to learn Physics-Informed Neural Network loss functions using Generalized Additive Models. We apply our method by meta-learning parametric partial differential equations, PDEs, on Burger's and 2D Heat Equations. The goal is to learn a new loss function for each parametric PDE using meta-learning. The derived loss function replaces the traditional data loss, allowing us to learn each parametric PDE more efficiently, improving the meta-learner's performance and convergence.

description: Experiments with stable isotope tracers such as C-13 and N-15 are increasingly used to gain insights into metabolism. However, mass spectrometric measurements of stable isotope labeling experiments should be corrected for the presence of naturally occurring stable isotopes and for impurities of the tracer substrate. Here, we analyzed the effect that such correction has on the data: omitting correction or performing invalid correction can result in largely distorted data, potentially leading to misinterpretation. IsoCorrectoR is the first R-based tool to offer said correction capabilities. It is easy-to-use and comprises all correction features that comparable tools can offer in a single solution: correction of MS and MS/MS data for natural stable isotope abundance and tracer impurity, applicability to any tracer isotope and correction of multiple-tracer data from high-resolution measurements. IsoCorrectoR's correction performance agreed well with manual calculations and other available tools including Python-based IsoCor and Perl-based ICT.
