description: The synonymy of Blackness with criminality is not a new phenomenon in America. Documented historical accounts have shown how myths, stereotypes, and racist ideologies led to discriminatory policies and court rulings that fueled racial violence in the post-Reconstruction era and have culminated in the exponential increase of Black male incarceration today. Misconceptions and prejudices manufactured and disseminated through various channels such as the media included references to a “brute” image of Black males. In the 21st century, this negative imagery of Black males has frequently utilized the negative connotation of the terminology “thug.” In recent years, law enforcement agencies have unreasonably used deadly force on Black males allegedly considered to be “suspects” or “persons of interest.” The exploitation of these often-targeted victims’ criminal records, physical appearances, or misperceived attributes has been used to justify their unlawful deaths. Despite the connection between disproportionate criminality and Black masculinity, little research has been done on how unarmed Black male victims, particularly but not exclusively at the hands of law enforcement, have been posthumously criminalized. This article investigates the historical criminalization of Black males and its connection to contemporary unarmed victims of law enforcement. Action research methodology in the data collection process is utilized to interpret how Black male victims are portrayed by traditional mass media, particularly through the use of language, in ways that marginalize and devictimize these individuals. This study also aims to elucidate a contemporary understanding of race relations, racism, and the plight of the Black male in a 21-century “postracial” America.

description: The taxonomy and phylogeny of Hyrcanian Alnus (eight taxa) were investigated using sequence data from the nuclear ribosomal ITS and the chloroplast trnH-psbA intergenic spacer. The mean nucleotide compositions of the ITS region were completely equal for two main Hyrcanian taxa, and the ITS1 region had fewer variable sites than the ITS2 region. Two relatively distinct types of ITS2 were identified for two main clades of Hyrcanian Alnus, the A. subcoradata complex and A. glutinosa. Two recently described species, A. dolichocarpa and A. djavanshirii, did not show any diagnostic sites and had a similar pattern with A. subcordata. Three recognized subspecies of A. glutinosa were distributed in the A. incana complex. In the analysis of trnH-psbA sequence data, the three subgenera of Alnus were poorly resolved relative to one another. Alnus glutinosa had minimal sequence divergence from A. incana and A. tenuifolia, and A. subcordata had a minimum distance from A. cordata and A. orientalis. A maximum pairwise distance also was observed between Hyrcanian species (A. glutinosa and A. subcordata) with A. pendula and A. sieboldiana, respectively. Ultimately, the molecular phylogeny of Alnus based on two DNA barcode markers was not congruent with recent morphological classifications, so additional DNA markers should be explored for identifying Alder taxa in the Hyrcanian forest.

description: Objective: To assess the cost-effectiveness of delayed-release dimethyl fumarate (DMF, also known as gastro-resistant DMF), an effective therapy for relapsing forms of multiple sclerosis (MS), compared with glatiramer acetate and fingolimod, commonly used treatments in the US. Methods: A Markov model was developed comparing delayed-release DMF to glatiramer acetate and fingolimod using a US payer perspective and 20-year time horizon. A cohort of patients, mean age 38 years, with relapsing-remitting MS and Kurtzke Expanded Disability Status Scale (EDSS) scores between 0–6 entered the model. Efficacy and safety were estimated by mixed-treatment comparison of data from the DEFINE and CONFIRM trials and clinical trials of other disease-modifying therapies. Data from published studies were used to derive resource use, cost, and utility inputs. Key outcomes included costs, quality-adjusted life-years (QALYs), and incremental cost-effectiveness ratios. Alternative scenarios tested in a sensitivity analysis included drug efficacy, EDSS-related or relapse-related costs, alternative perspectives, drug acquisition costs, and utility. Results: Base-case results with a 20-year time horizon indicated that delayed-release DMF increased QALYs +0.450 or +0.359 compared with glatiramer acetate or fingolimod, respectively. Reductions in 20-year costs with delayed-release DMF were −$70,644 compared with once-daily glatiramer acetate and −$32,958 compared with fingolimod. In an analysis comparing delayed-release DMF to three-times-weekly glatiramer acetate and assuming similar efficacy and safety to the once-daily formulation, 20-year costs with delayed-release DMF were increased by $15,806 and cost per QALY gained was $35,142. The differences in costs were most sensitive to acquisition cost and inclusion of informal care costs and productivity losses. The differences in QALYs were most sensitive to the impact of delayed-release DMF on disease progression and the EDSS utility weights. Conclusion: Delayed-release DMF is likely to increase QALYs for patients with relapsing forms of MS and be cost-effective compared with fingolimod and glatiramer acetate.

description: Enhanced ultrasonic catalytic activity in nitrobenzene degradation was found by combining ultrasonic irradiation and a zero-valent zinc (Zn0) catalyst. In this system, the influence of the reaction parameters, reaction kinetics, intermediates, and mechanism was investigated. Under the optimum conditions (initial nitrobenzene concentration of 0.01 mmol/L, Zn0 dosage of 0.4 g/L, initial pH 7, ultrasonic intensity 4.0 W/cm2), approximately 91.2% of nitrobenzene could be removed within 30 min. The degradation process followed the pseudo-first-order kinetics model, and the reaction rate constant was 0.0670 min−1. The mechanism of the synergetic effect of ultrasound and Zn0 was proposed. Three intermediates of nitrophenol, phenylhydroxylamine, and aniline were identified by liquid chromatography–mass spectrometry (LC-MS). The degradation pathways of hydroxyl radical oxidation and Zn0 reduction were deduced. This combined system is promising for the removal of nitrobenzene pollutants from water.

description: It is shown that modelling a catalytic reaction involving an atomic anion, such as iodide, may lead to unrealistic reaction paths because of the underestimation of the anion energy. The self-interaction error, at the origin of this feature is enhanced by the fact that electronic delocalisation, usually overestimated in DFT calculations, cannot occur in a single atom. The quantification of this error is approached by a linear transit calculation, from a transition state towards separate fragments. This is an efficient way to correct this error for GGA functionals. Interestingly the self-interaction error is shown to be less dependent of the Hartree–Fock exchange amount in hybrid functionals than expected. Unexpectedly, no significant improvement with long-range corrected functionals is obtained.

description: Sheep and goats are essential components of sustainable production systems. However, heat stress can impede animal reproduction and overall productivity. Environmental conditions, such as high ambient temperature and relative humidity, often cause heat stress in these animals. Goats and sheep employ behavioral, morphological, physiological, and genetic mechanisms to adapt to harsh weather conditions. These adaptations are crucial for their survival and performance in various climates.

description: In this study, a series of novel 2-alkyl(aryl)-quinazolin-4(3H)-thiones, 2-R-(quinazolin-4(3H)-ylthio)carboxylic acids and amides were synthesized and evaluated for antimicrobial and anticancer activities. Their structure was confirmed by elemental analysis and spectral data (FT-IR, LC-MS, 1H-NMR). Antimicrobial activity was tested in vitro against Staphylococcus aureus, Enterococcus faecalis, Enterobacter aerogenes, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Escherichia coli, Klebsiella pneumonia, Candida albicans and NCI in vitro preliminary anticancer activity against nine different cancer types. The most active antibacterial and antifungal compounds were: 2.1, 2.2 and 2.4. The introduction of the carboxylic acid or amide residue into the fourth position of quinazolin-4(3H)-thione resulted in the absence of antimicrobial activity. Substance 3.8 inhibited renal cancer UO-31 line and 2.18 – leukemia CCRF-CEM. The results of in silico molecular docking for DHFR and CK2 kinase had no correlation with in vitro properties, proposing the presence of other biological activity pathways.
title: Comprehensive reanalysis for CNVs in ES data from unsolved rare disease cases results in new diagnoses

description: We report the results of a comprehensive copy number variant (CNV) reanalysis of 9171 exome
sequencing datasets from 5757 families affected by a rare disease (RD). The data reanalysed was
extremely heterogeneous, having been generated using 28 different enrichment kits by 42 different
research groups across Europe partnering in the Solve-RD project. Each research group had previously
undertaken their own analysis of the data but failed to identify disease-causing variants. We applied three
CNV calling algorithms to maximise sensitivity, and rare CNVs overlapping genes of interest, provided by
four partner European Reference Networks, were taken forward for interpretation by clinical experts. This
reanalysis has resulted in a molecular diagnosis being provided to 51 families in this sample, with ClinCNV
performing the best of the three algorithms. We also identified partially explanatory pathogenic CNVs in a
further 34 individuals. This work illustrates the value of reanalysing ES cold cases for CNVs.

description: This paper is a review of the work of my former academic group of research in the past 15 years, in the field of cognition enhancers (also called nootropics) that identified two very potent molecules: Unifiram and Sunifiram that for a variety of reasons were not protected by a patent. Some 12 years after their disclosure (2000) I casually found that on the web, there were dozens of sites offering Unifiram and Sunifiram as drugs that improve cognition in healthy individuals even if only few preclinical studies were done and their long-term toxicity was unknown.

description: The dopamine hypothesis states that decreased dopaminergic neurotransmission reduces schizophrenia symptoms. Neurokinin-3 receptor (NK3) antagonists reduce dopamine release and have shown positive effects in pre-clinical and clinical trials. We employed 2D and 3D-QSAR analysis on a series of 40 non-peptide NK3 antagonists. Multivariate statistical analysis, PCA and HCA, were performed to rational training/test set splitting and PLS regression was employed to construct all QSAR models. We constructed one highly predictive CoMFA model (q2 = 0.810 and r2 = 0.929) and acceptable HQSAR and CoMSIA models (HQSAR q2 = 0.644 and r2 = 0.910; CoMSIA q2 = 0.691, r2 = 0.911). The three different techniques provided convergent physicochemical results. All models indicate cyclopropane, piperidine and di-chloro-phenyl ring attached to cyclopropane ring and also the amide group attached to the piperidine ring could play an important role in ligand–receptor interactions. These findings may contribute to develop potential NK3 receptor antagonists for schizophrenia.

description: L'ensemble de ces notes ont été crée par John Baldwin lors d'une de ses premières périodes de résidence à Paris. Ces documents comprennent tous les magistri qu’il avait pu rencontrer dans ses sources. Aux XIIème et XIIIème siècles, les universités n'existant pas encore, le titre de magister s'il évoque certainement une compétence n'est pas rattaché de façon systématique au passage par les écoles. De surcroît, les magistris sont le plus souvent désignés par leur seul prénom. La lecture de ces données est donc difficile et suppose un long travail pour tenter d'identifier un individu auquel on pourrait rattacher plusieurs mentions. John Baldwin avait donc renoncé à utiliser ces données pour donner un prolongement à sa magnifique étude sur les gradués d'université et leur emploi par les Capétiens et les Plantagenêts. Néanmoins, il a conservé ces données et elles sont potentiellement très utile dans le cadre de Studium, comme le sont toutes les mentions dans les volumes des Fasti Ecclesiae Gallicanae de chanoines portant ce titre de magister sans autres précisions. L'ampleur des dépouillements rend ces données très utiles et nous devons une grande reconnaissance à John Baldwin pour avoir pris la peine de faire photocopier ses fiches et de nous les avoir transmises amicalement.
Les données ainsi que les images des fiches sont accessibles sur le site Internet à l'adresse suivante : http://studium-baldwin.lamop.fr/.

description: The uranium catalyst had been used in several industrial fields. The spent uranium catalyst became problematic radioactive waste awaiting a management strategy for the final disposal. This work studies a process to greatly reduce the volume of a spent uranium catalyst waste and the generation of a suitable waste form for final disposal. The process consists of several steps such as selective dissolution of the SiO2 catalyst support, precipitation of dissolved silicon followed by its purification for release, treatment of uranium-laden wastewater generated during the process, and immobilization of the final uranium-bearing astes for disposal. Based on bench scale-level experiments, the process was confirmed to be effective to reduce the volume of the uranium catalyst waste. The final volume reduction yield obtained in this work was over 80% from the volume of the initial uranium catalyst waste. The radioactivity of the secondary wastes, namely, the recovered silica and effluent generated from the process, was confirmed to be sufficiently managed for clearance with meeting the discharge criteria in Korea. The process could achieve the maximum volume reduction of the uranium catalyst waste to be transferred to a disposal site, with the by-products from the process being released, meeting discharge criteria in view of both nuclear and non-nuclear environmental regulations.

Abstract: Cross-sectional studies report that pain in ambulatory HIV-infected individuals is frequent and often undermanaged. Expanding access to HIV treatment in developing countries means that infected individuals are living longer, but there is a dearth of pain-directed studies from developing countries that describe the progression of pain and its treatment over any period of time. The aim of this study was to characterize the progression of pain and its treatment over a 6-month period in 92 ambulatory HIV-positive patients attending an outpatient clinic in Johannesburg, South Africa. We used the Wisconsin Brief Pain Questionnaire to assess changes in pain intensity, pain sites, pain interference, and pain treatment. At visit 1, pain was present in 78 of 92 patients (85%). Of the 78 patients with pain, 67 had moderate or severe pain (86%) and pain affected two or more body sites simultaneously in 57 of these patients (73%). After 6 months, pain prevalence still was high, but had fallen to 50 patients (54%). Of the patients with pain at visit 2, the proportion with moderate or severe pain (82%), or two or more pain sites (62%) had decreased. Analgesic use was low at both time points (5% and 25% analgesic use at visit 1 and 2, respectively). Despite the high pain burden, pain interference in daily activities was very low across the period assessed. The burden of pain in this cohort of ambulatory HIV-positive patients was high, but there were significant reductions in pain burden over time.

Abstract: HIV-associated sensory neuropathy (HIV-SN) is a common neurological complication of HIV infection, and it is often painful. Tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-α is implicated in neuropathic pain, but associations between neuropathic pain and polymorphisms in the TNFA gene have not been identified. The "TNF block" is a region of high linkage disequilibrium within the central major histocompatability complex that contains several genes involved in the regulation of inflammation, including TNFA. Polymorphisms in the block have been associated with an altered risk of HIV-SN, but no investigations into whether this region is associated with the painful symptoms of neuropathy have been undertaken. Therefore, we investigated whether polymorphisms in the TNF block are associated with pain intensity in black Southern Africans with HIV-SN. Single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) defining TNF block haplotypes and African-specific tagSNPs were genotyped in samples from 150 black Southern Africans with HIV-SN. One SNP allele, rs28445017*A, was significantly associated with an increased pain intensity after correction for age, sex, and the CD4 T-cell count. A common 3-SNP haplotype containing rs28445017*G remained associated with a reduced pain intensity after correction for covariates and multiple comparisons. We identified a novel genetic association between polymorphisms in the TNF block and the pain intensity in black Southern Africans with HIV-SN. Our study implicates rs28445017 in painful HIV-SN, although its precise role and whether it may be causative is unclear. rs28445017 was not associated with the risk for HIV-SN as such, highlighting potential differences between the pathophysiology of the neuropathy and the painful features of the neuropathy.

description: There is a dearth of knowledge on the effects of annual burning of fire-breaks on species composition, plant diversity and soil properties. Whittaker's plant diversity technique was used to gather data on species composition and diversity in four grassland communities on the Loskop Dam Nature Reserve (LDNR). The study demonstrated that fire-beaks did not have a negative effect on plant diversity and an increase was even noted in various diversity parameters in the grassland on abandoned cropland. Fire-breaks were changing the species composition, as three of the four communities illustrated a clear separation in species composition between fire-break and unburnt plots. There was not a strong association between specific species and the fire-break or unburnt plots, except for Themeda triandra and Tristachya leucothrix, known for their association with and without fire, respectively. The change in species composition was not negatively affecting range condition. Carbon and nitrogen concentrations were slightly lower in the fire-break than unburnt soils, but the reduced concentrations were unlikely to cause severe soil degradation in fire-break zones. From a management perspective, fire-breaks appear to be a sustainable management tool as they are not adversely affecting plant diversity or range condition in the grassland association on LDNR.

description: The objective of this study was to evaluate the association between thyroid function and exposure to selected polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAH) among those aged ≥ 20 years. Thyroid variables considered for evaluation were thyroid-stimulating hormone, free and total serum thyroxine (FT4, TT4), free and total triiodothyronine (FT3, TT3), and thyroglobulin. PAH metabolites in urine for which data were analyzed were 1-hydroxynaphthalene, 2-hydroxynaphthalene, 2-hydroxyfluorene, 3-hydroxyfluorene, 9-hydroxyfluorene, 1-hydroxyphenanthrene, 2-hydroxyphenanthrene, 3-hydroxyphenanthrene, and 1-hydroxypyrene. Using data from 2007 to 2008 National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey, regression models with logs of thyroid variables as dependent variables and PAH exposure, age, race/ethnicity, iodine sufficiency, smoking status, and others as independent variables were fitted. For females, increased levels of 2-hydroxynapthalene, 2-hydroxyphenanthrene, and 1-hydroxypyrene were associated with elevated levels of TT3. For males, increased levels of 1-hydroxyphenanthrene, 2-hydroxyphenanthrene, and 9-hydroxypyrene were associated with decreased levels of FT4.

Abstract: Cross-sectional studies report that pain in ambulatory HIV-infected individuals is frequent and often undermanaged. Expanding access to HIV treatment in developing countries means that infected individuals are living longer, but there is a dearth of pain-directed studies from developing countries that describe the progression of pain and its treatment over any period of time. The aim of this study was to characterize the progression of pain and its treatment over a 6-month period in 92 ambulatory HIV-positive patients attending an outpatient clinic in Johannesburg, South Africa. We used the Wisconsin Brief Pain Questionnaire to assess changes in pain intensity, pain sites, pain interference, and pain treatment. At visit 1, pain was present in 78 of 92 patients (85%). Of the 78 patients with pain, 67 had moderate or severe pain (86%) and pain affected two or more body sites simultaneously in 57 of these patients (73%). After 6 months, pain prevalence still was high, but had fallen to 50 patients (54%). Of the patients with pain at visit 2, the proportion with moderate or severe pain (82%), or two or more pain sites (62%) had decreased. Analgesic use was low at both time points (5% and 25% analgesic use at visit 1 and 2, respectively). Despite the high pain burden, pain interference in daily activities was very low across the period assessed. The burden of pain in this cohort of ambulatory HIV-positive patients was high, but there were significant reductions in pain burden over time.

Abstract: HIV-associated sensory neuropathy (HIV-SN) is a common neurological complication of HIV infection, and it is often painful. Tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-α is implicated in neuropathic pain, but associations between neuropathic pain and polymorphisms in the TNFA gene have not been identified. The "TNF block" is a region of high linkage disequilibrium within the central major histocompatability complex that contains several genes involved in the regulation of inflammation, including TNFA. Polymorphisms in the block have been associated with an altered risk of HIV-SN, but no investigations into whether this region is associated with the painful symptoms of neuropathy have been undertaken. Therefore, we investigated whether polymorphisms in the TNF block are associated with pain intensity in black Southern Africans with HIV-SN. Single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) defining TNF block haplotypes and African-specific tagSNPs were genotyped in samples from 150 black Southern Africans with HIV-SN. One SNP allele, rs28445017*A, was significantly associated with an increased pain intensity after correction for age, sex, and the CD4 T-cell count. A common 3-SNP haplotype containing rs28445017*G remained associated with a reduced pain intensity after correction for covariates and multiple comparisons. We identified a novel genetic association between polymorphisms in the TNF block and the pain intensity in black Southern Africans with HIV-SN. Our study implicates rs28445017 in painful HIV-SN, although its precise role and whether it may be causative is unclear. rs28445017 was not associated with the risk for HIV-SN as such, highlighting potential differences between the pathophysiology of the neuropathy and the painful features of the neuropathy.

description: The hypothesis that word representations are emotionally impoverished in a second language (L2) has variable support. However, this hypothesis has only been tested using tasks that present words in isolation or that require laboratory-specific decisions. Here, we recorded eye movements for 34 bilinguals who read sentences in their L2 with no goal other than comprehension, and compared them to 43 first language readers taken from our prior study. Positive words were read more quickly than neutral words in the L2 across first-pass reading time measures. However, this emotional advantage was absent for negative words for the earliest measures. Moreover, negative words but not positive words were influenced by concreteness, frequency and L2 proficiency in a manner similar to neutral words. Taken together, the findings suggest that only negative words are at risk of emotional disembodiment during L2 reading, perhaps because a positivity bias in L2 experiences ensures that positive words are emotionally grounded.

description: Rumination in depressed adults is associated with a bias toward retaining negative information in working memory. We developed a task designed to modify this cognitive bias by having subjects repeatedly practice removing negative words from working memory, thereby enabling them to retain positive and neutral words. To assess the efficacy of this task, we recruited 60 adults who reported elevated repetitive negative thought (RNT) and randomly assigned them to receive a single administration of either the working memory bias modification (WMBM) task or a control task. Subjects in the WMBM condition exhibited greater reduction in proactive interference for negative information than did those in the control condition. These results suggest that the WMBM task reduces biased retention of negative information in working memory and, thus, may be useful in investigating the possible causal role of this cognitive bias in RNT or depression.

description: A triethylene glycol di-imine locked triazole linked bis-calix[4]arene conjugate (L) and its Zn2+ complex [Zn2L], were synthesised, characterised and the three-dimentional (3-D) structure of the complex was established by single crystal XRD. In this complex, the Zn2+ centre exhibits distorted tetrahedral geometry with N2O2 binding core. The complex showed selectivity towards cysteine (Cys) with greater sensitivity followed by histidine (His) among the naturally occurring amino acids studied based on fluorescence and absorption spectroscopy. The fluorescence quenching of the complex is much greater with Cys as compared to that of His. The detection limit of Cys is 650 ppb. Release of Zn2+ from its complex [Zn2L] followed by its capture by –SH containing molecules was shown based on absorption and emission spectroscopy. This was also shown in one case by 1H NMR spectroscopy.

description: Inactivated trivalent influenza vaccines (IIV3s) are designed to protect against illness caused by two influenza A virus subtypes and one influenza B virus lineage. They may provide inadequate protection due to the co-circulation of viruses from two antigenically distinct influenza B lineages. Incorporating strains from both B lineages as in inactivated quadrivalent influenza vaccines (IIV4s) reduces this risk. We summarize the evidence supporting two IIV4s manufactured by GSK Vaccines. Compared to IIV3s, these two IIV4s demonstrated noninferior immunogenicity against the shared influenza strains and superior immunogenicity for the strain of the additional B lineage, particularly in subjects who were seronegative for that B strain. One IIV4’s efficacy in children aged 3–8 years was 55.4% against influenza of any severity and 73.1% against moderate-to-severe influenza. Both IIV4s were well-tolerated with a similar safety profile to IIV3s. These IIV4s are more likely than IIV3s to protect against the added influenza B strain.
