description: The molecular biological relations between the formation of the ABO(H) blood group phenotype and human fertility is evident in the rare (Oh) or Bombay blood type, which Charles Darwin would have interpreted as resulting from reduced fertility in consanguinities, based on the history of his own family, the Darwin/Wedgewood Dynasty. In its native form, the Bombay type occurs in individuals with an extremely rare genotype (h/h; se/se), which does not produce the fucosyltransferases FUT1and FUT2 encoded on chromosome 19 due to point mutations. In fact, the Bombay type individual cannot synthesize the fucosyl residues or H- receptor, which in epistatic connection with the A- and B-allelic glycotransferases, encoded on chromosome 9, provides the structural basis for the formation of ABO(H) phenotypes on the cell surfaces, secretions and plasma proteins, such as van Willebrand factor (vWF), clotting factor VIII and α2-macroglobulin (A2M). The innate isoagglutinins instead show extremely high levels of a mercaptoethanol-sensitive, complement-binding anti-H reactivity, acting over a wide range of temperatures, with an amplitude at 370C. This reactivity appears to be dominated by immunoglobulin M (IgM), hypothetically promoting anti-self-reactive antibody-dependent cytotoxicity (ADCC), which usually is restricted to immunoglobulin G (IgG) and is not exerted by normal IgM, but most likely is exerted by defucosylated IgM. Alternatively, the unusual temperature amplitude of the anti-H-reactive IgM, characteristic for the Bombay type plasma, highly suggests the involvement of IgG. Moreover, most examples of IgM apparently have a significant IgG component. While the anti-H reactivity of the Bombay type plasma thus indicates the functions of several immunoglobulin classes, the defucosylation of at least the IgM should be genetically identical with that of the cell surfaces, thus also results from the lack of FUT1/ FUT2 encoding on chromosome 19. In fact, the FUT1/FUT2-fucosylated ABO/H)-reactive A2M, which is depleted in the Bombay type individual, works synergistically with the structurally related, ancestral IgM molecule. Consequently, in the Bombay type individual, the non-somatic glycosylation processes, which occur during embryogenic stem cell-to-germ cell transformation, are exposed to poorly fucosylated, glycan-depleted immunoglobulins initiating a complex anti-self-reactivity in male gamete performances.

description: No Ensino em Ciências, questões sociocientíficas se destacam como potencialidades didáticas na abordagem temas atuais e que considere as relações entre Ciência, Tecnologia e Sociedade (CTS). Envolvendo conhecimentos ainda em construção e permeada por incertezas, muitas das questões são controversas e abrangem vertentes éticas, culturais, políticas e econômicas. Nas últimas décadas a dimensão ambiental ganhou destaque na pauta das discussões CTS, especialmente no contexto ibero-americano, devido a conflitos socioambientais, dentre eles os da indústria extrativista. Nestes casos, o conhecimento sobre o território em que a controvérsia de desenrola, a extensão e temporalidade (duração) dos impactos são essenciais não apenas na análise, mas na reflexão e desenvolvimento de diferentes habilidades e competências dos alunos. Considerando estes contextos, desenvolvemos o conceito de Controvérsias Sociocientíficas de Forte Impacto Local (CoSFIL), segundo o qual, o conhecimento geoespacial são essenciais na discussão entre CTS. Acreditamos que a abordagem de uma CoSFIL auxilia na identificação de riscos e vulnerabilidades no território de alunos, professores e de comunidades em geral, frente à situações que afetam ou podem afetar drasticamente suas vidas. Exemplificamos com o caso da (in)segurança de barragens de rejeitos. Minas Gerais, após o rompimento da Samarco (Vale-BHPBillington) em 2015, seguido do rompimento da Vale S.A. em janeiro de 2019, tem sido palco de terror e insegurança. Os rompimentos mostraram que a ciência e tecnologia não são suficientes para resolver essa questão sociocientífica que envolve dimensões escalares diversas, vertentes econômicas, históricas e políticas. Portanto, abordagens didáticas de CoSFIL visam mobilizar conhecimentos científicos sobre temáticas relacionadas ao território de vida do aluno e professores, o entendimento
 do fenômeno geoespacial analisado, no intuito de empoderamento e formação cidadã crítica.

description: The proposed study will use a master narrative framework to examine meaning making within written and spoken narratives about race/ethnicity between young adult friend-pairs. Specifically, we will investigate how meaning in spoken narratives varies based on features of conversations as well as racial/ethnic composition of friend-pairs. First, we will compare meaning making in written relative to spoken racial/ethnic narratives and determine whether meaning made varies based on racial/ethnic composition of friend-pairs (research question 1). Then, we will quantify specific features of racial/ethnic conversations (i.e., conversation dynamics) and determine whether such dynamics relate to racial/ethnic composition of friend pairs (research question 2) and expressions of meaning in spoken conversations (research question 3). This study will reveal how meaning around racial/ethnic experiences is silenced or encouraged, thereby uncovering ways master narratives that perpetuate racial inequality are reinforced or disrupted (Rogers et al., 2021).

description: Poly-β-hydroxybutyrate (PHB) is the intracellular lipid reserve accumulated by many bacteria. The most potent terrestrial bacterium Bacillus cereus SE-1 showed more PHB accumulating cells (22.1 and 40% after 48 and 72 h) than that of the marine Bacillus sp. CS-605 (5 and 33% after 48 and 72 h). Both the isolates harbored phbB gene and the characteristics C=O peak was observed in the extracted PHB by Fourier transformed infrared spectroscopy analysis. Maltose was found to be the most suitable carbon source for the accumulation of PHB in B. cereus SE-1. The extracted PHB sample from B. cereus SE-1 was blended with a thermoplastic starch (TS) and an increased thermoplasticity and decreased crystallinity were observed after blending in comparison to the standard PHB. The melting temperature (Tm), melting enthalpy (∆Hf), and crystallinity (Xc) of the blended PHB sample were found to be 109.4 °C, 64.58 J/g, and 44.23%, respectively.

description: This study was an experimental study that examined the relationship between dispositional mindfulness and overclaiming. The hypothesis was that high dispositional mindfulness is associated with lower values of performance for participants in the experimental condition, and that this relationship is mediated by ethical self-concept, how central ethics are to one’s self-concept. Data was collected from a total of 210 participants from the Singapore Armed Forces. Participants completed questionnaires that assessed their dispositional mindfulness, the Stevens’ (1957) magnitude estimation procedure which measured their ethical self-concept, and solved a series a matrices within a time limit. High dispositional mindfulness was associated with greater overclaiming. Moreover, its effect was not significantly mediated by ethical self-concept. This indicates that dispositional mindfulness increases, instead of decreases, overclaiming. Implications of these results are discussed.

description: Objective: The aim of this study was to test the effectiveness of a tailored quitline tobacco treatment (‘Quitlink’) among people receiving support for mental health conditions. Methods: We employed a prospective, cluster-randomised, open, blinded endpoint design to compare a control condition to our ‘Quitlink’ intervention. Both conditions received a brief intervention delivered by a peer researcher. Control participants received no further intervention. Quitlink participants were referred to a tailored 8-week quitline intervention delivered by dedicated Quitline counsellors plus combination nicotine replacement therapy. The primary outcome was self-reported 6 months continuous abstinence from end of treatment (8 months from baseline). Secondary outcomes included additional smoking outcomes, mental health symptoms, substance use and quality of life. A within-trial economic evaluation was conducted. Results: In total, 110 participants were recruited over 26 months and 91 had confirmed outcomes at 8 months post baseline. There was a difference in self-reported prolonged abstinence at 8-month follow-up between Quitlink (16%, n = 6) and control (2%, n = 1) conditions, which was not statistically significant (OR = 8.33 [0.52, 132.09] p = 0.131 available case). There was a significant difference in favour of the Quitlink condition on 7-day point prevalence at 2 months (OR = 8.06 [1.27, 51.00] p = 0.027 available case). Quitlink costs AU$9231 per additional quit achieved. Conclusion: The Quitlink intervention did not result in significantly higher rates of prolonged abstinence at 8 months post baseline. However, engagement rates and satisfaction with the ‘Quitlink’ intervention were high. While underpowered, the Quitlink intervention shows promise. A powered trial to determine its effectiveness for improving long-term cessation is warranted.
Exploring Hippocampal Structural Differences in Habitual vs Non-habitual Nappers During Early Childhood

description: During sleep, memories become less vulnerable to interference, both during overnight sleep and naps. Previous research in adults suggests this effect is partially due to a “transfer” of memories from hippocampus to cortex, but there is little research investigating this process in children. Existing literature suggests habitually napping children need naps more than non-habitually napping children because their hippocampus is less mature. This study examines the relation between habitual versus non-habitual nappers and the hippocampus in early childhood. The participants are part of a larger ongoing study, from which we had 21 participants (Mage= 4.49 years, SD=0.51, 9 female). Of the 21 participants, 8 were nappers (napped 5+ days/week) and 13 were non-nappers (napped <5 days/week). Hippocampal volumes were extracted from T1 weighted MRI scans via FreeSurfer 6.0.0 and refined with a Segmentation Adapter Tool (Morey et al., 2009). Subregions of hippocampal head, body, and tail were identified via standard anatomical landmarks (Watson et al., 1992; Weiss et al., 2005). Preliminary analyses examined possible confounding differences between groups (age, sex, and intercranial volume). There were no differences, thus these measures were not controlled for. Results showed significant differences in hippocampal tail volumes. In the left hemisphere, nappers had larger volumes than non-nappers. Although these are preliminary results, the findings support that variation in hippocampal development may relate to nap status in developing children. Future research will focus on increased sample sizes and investigate other brain regions to determine the specificity of these effects.

In its native form, the Bombay type occurs in individuals with an extremely rare genotype (h/h; se/se), which does not produce the fucosyltransferases FUT1and FUT2 encoded on chromosome 19 due to point mutations.

This reactivity appears to be dominated by immunoglobulin M (IgM), which in view of the role of immunoglobulin fucosylation and the induction of antibody-mediated cytotoxicity (ADCC) by defucosylated immunoglobulin G (IgG), hypothetically promotes anti-self-reactive ADCC, that although not exerted by normal IgM, may be exerted by defucosylated IgM. Alternatively, the unusual temperature amplitude of the anti-H-reactive IgM, characteristic for Bombay type plasma, highly suggests the involvement of IgG. Moreover, most examples of IgM apparently have a significant IgG component. While the anti-H reactivity of the Bombay type plasma thus indicates the functions of several immunoglobulin classes, the defucosylation of at least the IgM should be genetically identical with that of the cell surfaces, and thus also results from the lack of FUT1/FUT2 encoding on chromosome 19. In fact, the FUT1/FUT2-based ABO(H)-reactivity, expressed by the A2M, is depleted, which synergistically works with the structurally related, ancestral IgM molecule.

description: It is well known that unchlorinated municipal wastewater contains high levels of organic and inorganic amino nitrogen compounds, the single most abundant amino-N species being ammonia. Upon chlorination, these compounds are transformed almost instantaneously and quantitatively into N-chloramino derivatives. The organic chloramines have been shown to

interfere with disinfection and have lower disinfection capacities than their inorganic counterpart monochloramine. The environmental effects imposed by the discharge of these compounds into natural receiving waters is unknown. This study has shown that amino acid precursors for N-chloramino acids range in concentration from 1.4 X 10-7 M to 9.0 X 10-7 M on a given day. The N-chloramines identified as forming in chlorinated municipal effluents are N-chloroglycine, N-chloronorvaline, N-chlorovaline, N-chloromethylamine, and N-chlorodimethylamine. Techniques employed in the identification of the amino acid precursors and the N-chloramines included derivatization to produce fluorescent compounds followed by HPLC with fluorescence detection, GC, and GC/MS.

In fact, the Bombay type individual cannot synthesize the fucosyl residues or H- receptor, which in epistatic connection with the A- and B-allelic glycotransferases, encoded on chromosome 9, provides the structural basis for the formation of ABO(H) phenotypes on the cell surfaces, secretions and plasma proteins, such as van Willebrand factor (vWF), clotting factor VIII and the α2-macroglobulin (A2M) The innate isoagglutinins instead show extremely high levels of a mercaptoethanol-sensitive, complement-binding anti-H reactivity, acting over a wide range of temperatures, with an amplitude at 370C. This reactivity appears to be dominated by immunoglobulin M (IgM), which in view of the role of immunoglobulin fucosylation and the induction of antibody-dependent cellular cytotoxicity (ADCC) by defucosylated immunoglobulin G (IgG), hypothetically promotes anti-self-reactive ADCC, that although not exerted by normal IgM, may be exerted by defucosylated IgM. Alternatively, the unusual temperature amplitude of the anti-H-reactive IgM, characteristic for Bombay type plasma, highly suggests the involvement of IgG. Moreover, most examples of IgM apparently have a significant IgG component. While the anti-H reactivity of the Bombay type plasma thus indicates the functions of several immunoglobulin classes, the defucosylation of at least the IgM should be genetically identical with that of the cell surfaces, and thus also results from the lack of FUT1/FUT2 encoding on chromosome 19. In fact, the FUT1/FUT2-based ABO(H)-reactivity, expressed by the A2M, is depleted, which synergistically works with the structurally related, ancestral IgM molecule. Consequently, in the Bombay type individual, the non-somatic glycosylation processes, which occur during embryogenic stem cell-to-germ cell transformation, are exposed to poorly fucosylated, glycan-depleted immunoglobulins initiating a complex anti-self-reactivity in male gamete performances.

description: The wound-healing properties of Plantago major L. (plantain) were evaluated using an ex-vivo porcine wound-healing model. Ethanol- and water-based extracts were prepared from greenhouse-grown and freeze-dried leaves of P. major. Both types of extracts stimulated wound healing in porcine skin, but the ethanol-based extracts had a somewhat stronger effect. A concentration of 1.0 mg/mL (on dry weight basis) produced the best results for both types of extracts.

description: Bacterial leaf blight (BLB) of rice (Oryza sativa L.) caused by Xanthomonas oryzae pv. oryzae, is
arguably the most holistic pathosystem of rice throughout the worldwide due to its growing concern as this disease is wide spread, devastating and its control measures are still not well understood. In vitro evaluation of various broad spectrum antibiotics viz., streptomycin sulphate, kanamycin sulphate,chloramphenicol, ampicilin trihydrate and benzylpenicillin, was carried out to determine the best chemistry against the destructive pathogen Xanthomonas oryzae pv. oryzae at different
concentrations. Inhibition zones appeared on petri plates for the growth of bacteria were very clear
around the paper disks. Chloramphenicol proved to be the most effective antibiotic to control the
bacterium as it suppressed the bacterial growth to greater extent and only the 6.25 mean bacterial
colonies were appeared in the petri plates, followed by the ampicillin trihydrate which showed to be thesecond most effective antibiotic against the pathogen growth and retarded to 12.00 mean bacterial colonies. The maximum diameter of inhibition zone (28.31 mm) was showed by the Chloramphenicol at 100 ppm followed by ampicillin trihydrate which gave proved to be second most effective antibiotic to control the pathogen and gave maximum inhibition zone (25.02 mm) at 100 ppm concentration. All the antibiotics showed significant results at higher concentrations.

description: In January 2017, The Sea Level Rise and Coastal Flood Hazard Scenarios and Tools Interagency Task Force produced a report entitled Global and Regional Sea Level Rise Scenarios for the United States. The report and its associated data table were intended to update scenarios of global mean sea level rise and integrate the global scenarios with regional factors contributing to sea level change for the entire U.S. coastline. The intention of the report was to incorporate these regionally appropriate scenarios within coastal risk management tools and capabilities deployed by individual agencies in support of the needs of specific stakeholder groups and user communities. Several features of the dataset are designed to make it accessible to the needs of decision makers: Site-specific projections that incorporate regional sea-level adjustments Sea-level changes quantified on a decadal basis from 2000 to 2100 and at lower temporal frequency into the 22nd century Inclusion of probabilities of exceeding a scenario based on a range of possible future greenhouse-gas emissions Updated science incorporating physically plausible, worst-case sea-level-rise scenarios of up to 2.7 m (8.9 ft) by 2100 The Sea-level-rise Exploration and Assessment (SEA) Tool is intended to provide an intuitive interface for the sea-level-rise data included in the 2017 NOAA technical report. A series of simple selections produces maps, graphics and statistics that allow the user to understand 1) the timing of future sea-level-rise impacts at a site; 2) the interaction of sea-level rise, tides and storm surge; 3) the relationship between global and local mean sea-level changes; and 4) the probability of exceeding global mean sea level in 2100 under three different emissions scenarios. The tool is also designed to highlight the range of projections without suggesting that there is a single correct solution to the question of sea-level rise futures.

description: We used a retrospective survey (N = 346) to model the patterns of appraisal, motivation, and coping that uniquely correspond with 12 positive emotions (affection/love, amusement, awe, challenge/determination, compassion, gratitude, happiness/joy, hope, interest, pride, relief, and serenity/tranquillity). Generally, we conceptually replicated previously demonstrated appraisal profiles of positive emotion while also examining how additional appraisals differentiate among positive emotions. We then uncovered the motivational goals and coping processes associated with each positive emotion. We discuss the implications of our findings for future research on positive emotion.
