description: Audiovisual media has become an integral part of conservation education strategies, with the potential not only to communicate information but also to impact on its viewers perceptions and attitudes towards a particular subject. Despite this potential, few studies have evaluated either the use of film for primate conservation initiatives or the wider impact of participatory film production. Our study evaluates the impact of a participatory documentary film about historic human-primate coexistence in the Los Tuxtlas region, Veracruz, Mexico, to improve people’s knowledge, perception, and attitudes towards the local primate species, Alouatta palliata and Ateles geoffroyi. Our study took place in six rural localities, in four of which a participatory film-making process was undertaken, involving production workshops and public screenings; two localities were intentionally left out as control groups. People’s knowledge, perception, and attitudes towards primates were assessed through randomized sampling using a questionnaire prior (n = 419) and following (n = 223) the presentation of the documentary. Results indicate a minimal but positive shift in participant’s attitudes and perceptions, with statistically significant increases in primate knowledge scores. While the participatory approach offers promise, further exploration and refinement are essential for effective conservation education. The study highlights the need for diverse and locally based perspectives in developing conservation education materials and programs to foster meaningful engagement and drive primate conservation efforts forward.

description: Background: Medical tourism is a global health practice where patients travel abroad to receive health care. Voluntourism is a practice where physicians travel abroad to deliver health care. Both of these practices often entail travel from high income to low and middle income countries and both have been associated with possible negative impacts. In this paper, we explore the social responsibilities of medical tourists and voluntourists to identify commonalities and distinctions that can be used to develop a wider understanding of social responsibility in global health care practices. Discussion Social responsibility is a responsibility to promote the welfare of the communities to which one belongs or with which one interacts. Physicians stress their social responsibility to care for the welfare of their patients and their domestic communities. When physicians choose to travel to another county to provide medical care, this social responsibility is expanded to this new community. Patients too have a social responsibility to use their community's health resources efficiently and to promote the health of their community. When these patients choose to go abroad to receive medical care, this social responsibility applies to the new community as well. While voluntourists and medical tourists both see the scope of their social responsibilities expand by engaging in these global practices, the social responsibilities of physician voluntourists are much better defined than those of medical tourists. Guidelines for engaging in ethical voluntourism and training for voluntourists still need better development, but medical tourism as a practice should follow the lead of voluntourism by developing clearer norms for ethical medical tourism. Summary Much can be learned by examining the social responsibilities of medical tourists and voluntourists when they engage in global health practices. While each group needs better guidance for engaging in responsible forms of these practices, patients are at a disadvantage in understanding the effects of medical tourism and organizing responses to these impacts. Members of the medical professions and the medical tourism industry must take responsibility for providing better guidance for medical tourists.

description: Background: Barriers to HIV treatment among injection drug users (IDU) are a major public health concern. However, there remain few long-term studies investigating key demographic and behavioral factors - and gender differences in particular - that may pose barriers to antiretroviral therapy (ART), especially in settings with universal healthcare. We evaluated access and adherence to ART in a long-term cohort of HIV-positive IDU in a setting where medical care and antiretroviral therapy are provided free of charge through a universal healthcare system. Methods We evaluated baseline antiretroviral use and subsequent adherence to ART among a Canadian cohort of HIV-positive IDU. We used generalized estimating equation logistic regression to evaluate factors associated with 95% adherence to antiretroviral therapy estimated based on prescription refill compliance. Results Between May 1996 and April 2008, 545 IDU participants were followed for a median of 23.8 months (Inter-quartile range: 8.5 - 91.6), among whom 341 (63%) were male and 204 (37%) were female. Within the six-month period prior to the baseline interview, 133 (39%) men and 62 (30%) women were on ART (p = 0.042). After adjusting for clinical characteristics as well as drug use patterns measured longitudinally throughout follow-up, female gender was independently associated with a lower likelihood of being 95% adherent to ART (Odds Ratio [OR] = 0.70; 95% Confidence Interval: 0.53-0.93). Conclusions Despite universal access to free HIV treatment and medical care, female IDU were less likely to access and adhere to antiretroviral therapy, a finding that was independent of drug use and clinical characteristics. These data suggest that interventions to improve access to HIV treatment among IDU must be tailored to address unique barriers to antiretroviral therapy faced by female IDU.

high temperature photochromism

description: Wide band gap semi-conductors such as SrTiO3 (STO) have attracted high interest for photoelectrochemical water splitting and as part of high temperature photovoltaic cells. However, the impact of UV irradiation on the composition (e.g. the oxygen content) of STO and Fe doped STO (Fe:STO) at elevated temperatures has hardly been studied. In Fe:STO, UV exposure causes an enhanced oxygen incorporation rate and, therefore, a decreased oxygen vacancy concentration in air at elevated temperatures. In this contribution we discuss such bulk stoichiometric changes in terms of optical and electrochemical (e.g. AC conductivity) properties. Moreover, the kinetics behind the incorporation were examined, more precisely chemical diffusion coefficients obtained from UV/VIS measurements were calculated.

Diagnosis: Males of Z. costablancae can be distinguished from other species within the rubidum group by the embolus with an obliquely bent tip (Fig. 14E). Females of this species can be differentiated from the closely related Z. costapratae by the height of the epigyne, which is at least 1.3 times larger (Figs 15I, 17C vs. Figs 15J, 17D), and by the simple broadening of the antero-median chitinous structure of the epigyne (vs. with wedge-shaped ridge in Z. costapratae; cf. Figs 15I, 17C and Figs 15J, 17D).
Description: For a detailed description of the habitus and male palp, refer to Bosmans (1994). Epigyne (Fig. 17C): Epigynal plate sub-trapezoidal, anteriorly limited by a broadened, antero-median chitinous structure. Sides of the epigynal plate S-shaped. Epigyne with a longitudinal septum, reaching the posterior part of epigyne and accompanied by a pair of copulatory openings on antero-lateral sides of the septum; these copulatory openings connected to a pair of lateral pits by connecting grooves.
Molecular data:
COI mitochondrial barcodes (Genbank accession): MT370080, PP373361.
Maximum intraspecific COI divergence (n=2): 2.3 %. Minimum interspecific divergence (to Z. machadoi): 7.1%. Consensus COI distance to the closest species (to Z. styliferum): 3.1%.

description: Background: Chemotherapy for glioblastoma (GBM) patients is compromised in part by poor perfusion in the tumor. The present study evaluates how treatment with liposomal formulation of irinotecan (Irinophore C™), and other liposomal anticancer drugs, influence the tumor vasculature of GBM models grown either orthotopically or subcutaneously. Methods Liposomal vincristine (2 mg/kg), doxorubicin (Caelyx®; 15 mg/kg) and irinotecan (Irinophore C™; 25 mg/kg) were injected intravenously (i.v.; once weekly for 3 weeks) in Rag2M mice bearing U251MG tumors. Tumor blood vessel function was assessed using the marker Hoechst 33342 and by magnetic resonance imaging-measured changes in vascular permeability/flow (Ktrans). Changes in CD31 staining density, basement membrane integrity, pericyte coverage, blood vessel diameter were also assessed. Results The three liposomal drugs inhibited tumor growth significantly compared to untreated control (p < 0.05-0.001). The effects on the tumor vasculature were determined 7 days following the last drug dose. There was a 2-3 fold increase in the delivery of Hoechst 33342 observed in subcutaneous tumors (p < 0.001). In contrast there was a 5-10 fold lower level of Hoechst 33342 delivery in the orthotopic model (p < 0.01), with the greatest effect observed following treatment with Irinophore C. Following treatment with Irinophore C, there was a significant reduction in Ktrans in the orthotopic tumors (p < 0.05). Conclusion The results are consistent with a partial restoration of the blood-brain barrier following treatment. Further, treatment with the selected liposomal drugs gave rise to blood vessels that were morphologically more mature and a vascular network that was more evenly distributed. Taken together the results suggest that treatment can lead to normalization of GBM blood vessel the structure and function. An in vitro assay designed to assess the effects of extended drug exposure on endothelial cells showed that selective cytotoxic activity against proliferating endothelial cells could explain the effects of liposomal formulations on the angiogenic tumor vasculature.

description: The average gender pay gap in Germany is 16 percent according to the most recent data. On the occasion of the 2025 Equal Pay Day, this Weekly Report using Socio-Economic Panel (SOEP) data shows that considerable differences according to age and level of education are hiding behind this average gap. For example, the gender pay gap increases significantly with age for people of all educational backgrounds and increases the most for older employees with a university degree. This age pattern is much more pronounced in the west of Germany than in the east. If policymakers want to counteract the large gender pay gap, they must create incentives for a more equal division of paid and care work between women and men. Starting points include reforming the joint income taxation of married couples (Ehegattensplitting) and the tax treatment of income from mini-jobs. Currently, these two factors make part-time or marginal employment financially attractive for married women, at least in the short term, thereby reinforcing existing gender-specific labor market inequalities.

description: From March 3 until April 24, 2019, the Centre for Egyptological Studies of the Russian Academy of Sciences (CES RAS) conducted the 14th season at Deir el-Banat (Fayum). Besides some other directions, the works included analyzing funeral rites, conservation of finds made in previous seasons and survey for searching Paleolithic sites. The main task of this study season was to identify typical features and peculiarities of burial customs performed on the necropolis. As a result of comprehensive and detailed analysis of more than 20 burials, seven types of funeral rites were described and pre-identified; among them are those that were performed in intermediate periods of Egyptian history. Burials differ in a set of funeral equipment, assortment of burial clothing and shrouds, position of the dead body, way of preparing the body for interment. The most important textile objects were subjected to complete conservation treatment. Other fabrics were prepared for storage. One more task of the work in 2019 was conducting archaeological survey to identify Paleolithic sites. Several sites of those times were discovered, and their stratigraphy was clarified.

description: The author makes an overview of masks of Ptolemaic coffins coming from the southern necropolis of Deir el-Banat (Fayoum). Despite the fact that the necropolis was used for a relatively long period, the masks represent a homogenous collection, which can be divided into two groups — with painted decoration and without it. Both groups display variations in grade of material, level of detail and craftsmen skills. The style and pattern of decorated coffin masks generally correspond to ones of mummies’ cartonnage masks of the same time.

description: Background: People with cardiac disease and type 2 diabetes have higher hospital readmission rates (22%) compared to those without diabetes (6%). Self-management is an effective approach to achieve better health outcomes; however there is a lack of specifically designed programs for patients with these dual conditions. This project aims to extend the development and pilot test of a Cardiac-Diabetes Self-Management Program incorporating user-friendly technologies and the preparation of lay personnel to provide follow-up support. Methods/Design: A randomised controlled trial will be used to explore the feasibility and acceptability of the Cardiac-Diabetes Self-Management Program incorporating DVD case studies and trained peers to provide follow-up support by telephone and text-messaging. A total of 30 cardiac patients with type 2 diabetes will be randomised, either to the usual care group, or to the intervention group. Participants in the intervention group will received the Cardiac-Diabetes Self-Management Program in addition to their usual care. The intervention consists of three face-to-face sessions as well as telephone and text-messaging follow up. The face-to-face sessions will be provided by a trained Research Nurse, commencing in the Coronary Care Unit, and continuing after discharge by trained peers. Peers will follow up patients for up to one month after discharge using text messages and telephone support. Data collection will be conducted at baseline (Time 1) and at one month (Time 2). The primary outcomes include self-efficacy, self-care behaviour and knowledge, measured by well established reliable tools. Discussion: This paper presents the study protocol of a randomised controlled trial to pilot evaluates a Cardiac-Diabetes Self-Management program, and the feasibility of incorporating peers in the follow-ups. Results of this study will provide directions for using such mode in delivering a self-management program for patients with both cardiac condition and diabetes. Furthermore, it will provide valuable information of refinement of the intervention program. Trial Registration Number ACTRN12611000086965

Stonehenge and its people : thoughts from medicine
Creators: name: Perks, Anthony M.
Publisher: name: The University of British Columbia
Year: 2011

description: This paper considers the nature of Stonehenge and other Neolithic sites from an unusual perspective, that of medicine. At Stonehenge, the finish and pattern of the stones suggest that the trilithons represent the parents of the past, while the overall layout symbolizes Earth Mother, the Mother Goddess. Concern for this deity probably reflects the enormous infant mortality of the time; she represented birth, and the continuance of life. For this reason the circle came to represent her, since, unlike rows of stones, a circle goes on forever; there is circumstantial evidence to support this view. Therefore, the other widespread circles may also symbolize this goddess, while different sites may show her in different roles. The plan of Stonehenge suggests her in the role of Goddess of Conception and Birth, that of A vebury as Goddess of Motherhood and Nurture, and the "T -plan" of West Kennett shows her ready to give rebirth to her people. The underlying principle may be that the circle represents the goddess, the female, and hope for the continuance of life. As so much at Stonehenge, these suggestions cannot be proven; however, they are based on direct observations on the stones, as seen today, and are worth consideration.

description: The article is devoted to investigation of a fragment of a vessel decorated with a face depiction. It was found during archaeological excavations at Deir el-Banat (Fayoum oasis). The site is divided into three parts — the northern necropolis, the southern necropolis and the ‘convent’. The fragment was found on the surface in the ‘convent’s territory. It is a shoulder of a big vessel. The depiction of a face (two eyes and a nose) is made with lumps of clay and applied to the outer surface of the vessel. A thin bulge is above the eyes. The vessel is made of Nile silt fabric. An analogy for the vessel from Deir el-Banat was found in Tebtynis situated in the Fayoum oasis as well. This neckless storage jar has sloping shoulders, a conical body and a base with a ring foot. Its shoulders are divided into two parts: the upper part has a relief surface, while the lower one bears a depiction of a face and wave-like ornaments. Loop handles are fixed on the lower part. This vessel is also made of Nile silt fabric. This allows us to reconstruct the vessel from Deir el-Banat and date it to the 8th century CE.

description: Long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) are emerging as new players in the cancer paradigm demonstrating potential roles in both oncogenic and tumor suppressive pathways. These novel genes are frequently aberrantly expressed in a variety of human cancers, however the biological functions of the vast majority remain unknown. Recently, evidence has begun to accumulate describing the molecular mechanisms by which these RNA species function, providing insight into the functional roles they may play in tumorigenesis. In this review, we highlight the emerging functional role of lncRNAs in human cancer.

First, we’ll look at the myriad of ways that libraries are incorporating participatory sciences into their services - as seen through a comprehensive review of guides and other online resources created by academic libraries in the United States and Canada. Second, we'll talk about the ways in which participatory science, open science, and library or university community engagement efforts are important to library research support services. Participants should come away from the presentation with practical ideas for their own engagement in participatory science and inspiration that makes it easier to connect participatory science to open science services.

description: Abstract

Chronic infection with the human hepatitis B virus (HBV) is a global health problem and a main cause of progressive liver diseases. HBV exhibits a narrow host range, replicating primarily in hepatocytes. Both host and hepatocyte specificity presumably involve specific receptor interactions on the target cell; however, direct evidence for this hypothesis is missing. Following the observation that HBV entry is specifically blocked by L-protein-derived preS1-lipopeptides, we visualized specific HBV receptor/ligand complexes on hepatic cells and quantified the turnover kinetics. Using fluorescein isothiocyanate-labeled, myristoylated HBV preS1-peptides we demonstrate (1) the presence of a highly specific HBV receptor on the plasma membrane of HBV-susceptible primary human and tupaia hepatocytes and HepaRG cells but also on hepatocytes from the nonsusceptible species mouse, rat, rabbit and dog; (2) the requirement of a differentiated state of the hepatocyte for specific preS1-binding; (3) the lack of detectable amounts of the receptor on HepG2 and HuH7 cells; (4) a slow receptor turnover at the hepatocyte membrane; and (5) an association of the receptor with actin microfilaments. The presence of the preS1-receptor in primary hepatocytes from some non-HBV-susceptible species indicates that the lack of susceptibility of these cells is owed to a postbinding step. Conclusion: These findings suggest that HBV hepatotropism is mediated by the highly selective expression of a yet unknown receptor* on differentiated hepatocytes, while species specificity of the HBV infection requires selective downstream events, e.g., the presence of host dependency or the absence of host restriction factors. The criteria defined here will allow narrowing down reasonable receptor candidates and provide a binding assay for HBV-receptor expression screens in hepatic cells. (HEPATOLOGY 2013)

description: Emphysema is largely an under-diagnosed medical condition that can exist in smokers in the absence of airway obstruction. We aimed to determine the sensitivity and specificity of pulmonary function tests (PFTs) in assessing emphysema using quantitative CT scans as the reference standard. We enrolled 224 ever-smokers (current or former) over the age of 40. CT of thorax was used to quantify the low attenuation area (% emphysema), and to measure the standardized airway wall thickness. PFTs were used individually and in combination to predict their ability to discriminate radiographic emphysema. Significant emphysema (>7%) was detected in 122 (54%) subjects. Twenty six (21%) emphysema subjects had no evidence of airflow obstruction (FEV1/FVC ratio 23% emphysema showed airflow obstruction. The sensitivity and specificity of spirometry for detecting radiographic emphysema were 79% and 75%, respectively. Standardized airway wall thickness was increased in subjects with airflow obstruction, but did not correlate with emphysema severity. In this cohort of lifetime ever-smokers, PFTs alone were inadequate for diagnosing emphysema. Airway wall thickness quantified by CT morphometry was associated with airflow limitation, but not with emphysema indicating that the heterogeneous nature of lung disease in smokers may represent distinct phenotypes.
title: New Religious and Spiritual Movements in West: Reflexive Modernity, Alienation Embodied Charisma
Creators: name: Ahadi, Ali
Publisher: name: Goldsmiths, University of London
Year: 2006

description: This thesis investigates the causes and consequences behind the rise of new religious and spiritual movements [NRSMs] in the West, by tracing their historical, structural and in some cases individual origins and trajectories. The West in this study refers to the United States and Great Britain, with the two countries serving both as a reference point for critical examinations, as well as the basis for comparative analysis. The main argument developed in the study is that NRSMs are the natural by-product of a reflexive modernity and represent a morally inspired response to the largely materialistic values engendered by the capitalist ideologies of profit maximization, accumulation and consumption. Nonetheless, certain NRSMs ultimately end up practicing these very same materialistic goals. Fundamentally, new religious and spiritual discourses have emerged to counterbalance the logic heavy narrative of Enlightenment, which promoted science as a replacement for superstitious beliefs in God, and the concomitant pursuit of industrialization via the taming of nature as the correct parameters for human evolution. In an attempt to transcend the strictures of positivistic scientism and postmodern ambiguity, as applied to the sociology of new religious movements, my theoretical approach instead opens up a third space based on critical realism. Thus, the methodology incorporates a plurality of research techniques (quantitative and qualitative), such as secondary analysis of survey data, case studies, in-depth interviews and ethnography, with the thesis ultimately presenting a new theoretical framework with which to systematically analyse any NRSM.

description: Diese Masterarbeit untersucht die Perspektiven und Herausforderungen einer dauerhaften Besiedlung des Mondes, vor dem Hintergrund der zunehmenden Raumfahrtambitionen der USA und Chinas. Angesichts der neuen Wettbewerbsdynamik und des gestiegenen Interesses am Weltraumgeschäft wird die Möglichkeit einer Mondbesiedlung realistischer. Geplant ist der Aufbau der ersten Mondbasen ab 2030, mit der Vision im Rahmen der Masterarbeit, bis 2045 komplexe Strukturen für eine nachhaltige menschliche Präsenz zu schaffen. Diese Arbeit zielt darauf ab, durch die Entwicklung eines Mondbasiskonzepts, das den Menschen in den Mittelpunkt stellt und den Anforderungen an ein lebenswertes Umfeld im Weltraum gerecht wird, einen Beitrag zur Raumfahrt und zur zukünftigen Marsbesiedelung zu leisten. Dabei wird ein projektentwicklerischer Ansatz verfolgt, der sowohl architektonische als auch wirtschaftliche Aspekte berücksichtigt. Der Fokus liegt auf der Gestaltung von Lebensbedingungen, die über die beengten und komfortlosen Bedingungen bisheriger Weltraumhabitaten hinausgehen, und auf der Schaffung einer erdähnlichen Atmosphäre, die es den Bewohnern ermöglicht, auch fernab der Erde zu gedeihen. Die Arbeit ist in zwei Hauptteile gegliedert: „Wissenswertes“, das einen Überblick über relevante Mondaspekte bietet, und „Konzept“, das die eigentliche Entwicklung der Mondbasis behandelt.

description: The use of insects as an alternative source of animal feed is gaining interest due to their positive environmental impact. Consumers are generally more accepting of using insects as sustainable feed for animals than consuming insects directly. However, limited research exists on how different informational contexts influence consumer preferences and willingness to pay (WTP) for insect-fed animal products. This quantitative study addresses this gap by surveying 1,006 consumers in Spain, stratified by age and gender. Using the Heckman sample selection model, the results reveal that the probability of purchasing insect-fed animal products increases with younger age, municipal market shopping, online shopping habits, and a positive attitude towards inflation, while it decreases in households with elderly members. In contrast, neophobic attitudes and negative attitudes towards adding insects in animal feed significantly reduce the likelihood of purchasing these products. In the outcome equation, WTP is significantly influenced by household income, education level, online shopping behaviour, anthropocentric attitude, and negative attitude towards adding insects in animal feed. Higher household income is associated with lower WTP, while online shopping increases WTP. Higher education levels are linked to lower WTP for chicken and pork but are not significant for eggs. Consumers with a stronger anthropocentric attitude and negative attitudes towards using insects in animal feed are less willing to pay for these products. Consumers’ WTP premiums for insect-fed animal products range from 21% to 31%, with the highest premiums observed when no specific information about insects’ rearing, treatment, or processing is provided. Budget constraints and trust issues regarding sustainable insect feed are the main barriers to acceptance. These findings suggest that raising awareness about insect feed production, and emphasising animal welfare practices could enhance consumer acceptance. Furthermore, the substantial WTP for these products highlights their potential as premium items in the Spanish market.
title: Identifying Necessary Elements for BERT’s Multilinguality

description: It has been shown that multilingual BERT (mBERT) yields high quality multilingual rep- resentations and enables effective zero-shot transfer. This is suprising given that mBERT does not use any kind of crosslingual sig- nal during training. While recent literature has studied this effect, the exact reason for mBERT’s multilinguality is still unknown. We aim to identify architectural properties of BERT as well as linguistic properties of lan- guages that are necessary for BERT to become multilingual. To allow for fast experimenta- tion we propose an efficient setup with small BERT models and synthetic as well as natu- ral data. Overall, we identify six elements that are potentially necessary for BERT to be mul- tilingual. Architectural factors that contribute to multilinguality are underparameterization, shared special tokens (e.g., “[CLS]”), shared position embeddings and replacing masked to- kens with random tokens. Factors related to training data that are beneficial for multilin- guality are similar word order and comparabil- ity of corpora.

description: Milky seas are a rare form of nocturnal oceanic bioluminescence distinguished by a steady, non-flashing, white/gray/green glow. Scientific inquiry into milky seas has, for centuries, been held back by the remote ephemeral nature of this phenomenon. Combining centuries of eyewitness accounts with modern satellite observations, we present a curated list of milky sea observations since 1600. This database greatly expands the ability to study when and where milky seas occur, as well as the commonly observed features of a milky sea.
