Inimese geneetiliste tegurite mõju inimese immuunpuudulikkuse viiruse ja C-hepatiidi viirusega nakatumisele
Creators: name: Huik, Kristi

description: Taust ja eesmärk. Inimese immuunpuudulikkuse viiruse (HIV) ja C-hepatiidi viirusega (HCV) nakatumist mõjutavad paljud tegurid, sh inimese geneetilised markerid. Uuringud on kirjeldanud polümorfisme erinevates HIV patogeneesiga seotud geenides (nt CCR5, CCL3L1), mis mõjutavad seksuaalsel teel HIVga nakatumist. Samas on vähe andmeid selle kohta, kuidas need mõjutavad süstimise teel HIVga nakatumist, kus ekspositsioon viirusele on kordades suurem. Uuringu eesmärk oli hinnata CCR5 haplotüüpide ja CCL3L1 geeni koopiaarvu mõju HIV ja/või HCVga nakatumisele Eesti süstivate narkomaanide (SN) hulgas.

Metoodika. Uuringusse kaasati 374 SNi ja 500 veredoonorit, kelle verest eraldati DNA. CCR5 polümorfismid ja CCL3L1 koopiaarv määrati reaalaja PCRiga. CCR5 haplotüüpide määramise aluseks oli Gonzaleze jt (1999) väljatöötatud evolutsioonipõhine klassifikatsioon.

Tulemused ja järeldused. Määratud geenide polümorfismid ja haplotüüpide esinemissagedus sarnanes varem kirjeldatud europiidsesse rassi kuuluvate populatsioonide jaotuvusega. SNidel, kel oli CCR5 HHG*1 haplotüüp, olid väiksem šanss olla HCV-positiivne (šansside suhe (šs) 0,37; 95% usaldusvahemik (uv) 0,16–0,82). See seos jäi oluliseks pärast kohandamist kaasuvatele teguritele. SNidel, kellel oli CCL3L1 koopiaarv suurem kui populatsiooni keskmine (2), olid suuremad šansid olla HIV-negatiivsed (šs 0,49; 95% uv 0,29–0,81), see seos jäi oluliseks ka mudeli kohandamise järel. Töö tulemused tõstavad esile CCR5 ja CCL3L1 olulisuse HIV ja HCVga nakatumises ning see annab olulist teavet edasiste profülaktikameetmete väljatöötamiseks.

description: Pankrease siirdamine on saanud enamikus arenenud riikides oluliseks ravivõtteks tüsistunud diabeedi ravis. Selle peamine näidustus on I tüüpi diabeedist tingitud diabeetiline nefropaatia, kus patsiendid vajavad neeru siirdamist – pankrease täiendav siirdamine ja sellega diabeedi likvideerimine parandab oluliselt nende patsientide siirdamisjärgset elukvaliteeti, pikendab eluiga ja peatab või aeglustab diabeedi sekundaarsete tüsistuste arengut.
Harvadel juhtudel tuleb pankrease siirdamine arvesse ka eraldi, s.o ebastabiilse I tüüpi diabeedi korral, kui esinevad eluohtlikud hüpoglükeemiad.
Üksikjuhtudel tuleb pankrease siirdamine arvesse samal ajal ka koos teiste soliidorganitega (nt maksaga, kopsuga, peensoolega) neil haigetel, kes põevad I tüüpi diabeeti.
Nüüdisaegse operatsioonimetoodikaga on suudetud vähendada tüsistuste osakaalu ja letaalsus jääb alla 1%. Immunosupressiooni areng on viinud pankrease siiriku prognoositava funktsiooniperioodi pikaks, enam kui 50%-l juhtudest kestab see üle 10 aasta.
Alates 2015. aastast on pankrease transplantatsioon kättesaadav ka Eesti patsientidele. Prognoositav aastane vajadus pankrease siirdamise järele on 5–10 juhtu aastas.

Subjects: subject: Dietary
subject: Transgender
subject: Transmasculine
subject: Nutrition

description: Introduction: There are currently no dietary guidelines for the transgender community, and very little is known about the specific nutritional needs of this population. Previous studies suggest that transmasculine spectrum individuals may use dietary supplements in a way different from the general population due to cross-sex hormone therapy, struggles with gender dysphoria, and other elements of transitioning. Objective: To learn how the transmasculine spectrum population differs in its use of dietary supplements by comparing survey reports to the NHANES, 2007-2010 dataset. Methods: Forty-eight participants completed an online survey detailing their dietary supplement use and demographic information so that general trends could be determined. Findings: The rates of supplement use in the sample were significantly higher than the general population and although the participants reported good access to healthcare, the supplements were relied on heavily for overall wellness, specific complaints, and especially mental health. Medical transition status did not mitigate supplement use. There was no relationship between dietary supplement use and BMI or dietary supplement use and income. Conclusion: The transmasculine spectrum population uses dietary supplements in unique ways from the general U.S. population, and further research must be conducted to better understand how to provide proper nutritional guidance to transmasculine spectrum individuals.

description: In the 21st century, the People’s Republic of China (PRC) is reemerging and reengaging in the world on all fronts. One area of this reengagement is the huge increase in the number of Chinese students who are studying abroad. This paper discusses and analyzes the academic experiences of the growing number of Chinese international students who are enrolled in institutions of high- er education (IHE) in the United States of America (US). Specifically, it reports the results of ongoing qualitative research on the sociolinguistic experiences and challenges faced by PRC stu- dents who are participating in international programs at the Commonwealth of Virginia’s George Mason University (GMU). The paper focuses on the academic English language challenges experienced by both undergraduate and graduate Chinese students at GMU as they transition from their home universities in the PRC and continue their higher education in the US, and it suggests an approach for achieving cultural awareness learning.

description: This study aims to research the perceptions of collegiate coaches' behavior and how this can affect student-athlete’s perceptions of their performance, communication and interpersonal relationship with their coaches and teammates. Previous research primarily relied on the psychological aspect of motivation and determination for a student-athlete to better enhance their performance, but was unable to understand the fear and perception a coach can affect a student-athlete's overall mental, emotional and physical state. Self-Determination Theory (SDT) is used to determine methodology, questions of the interview for the research. Student-athletes from the basketball and gymnastics team at Southern Utah University were interviewed for this research. This study utilized semi-structured interviews to gather data from student-athletes from different sport teams at Southern Utah University. The study explored various aspects of coaches’ behavior, ability to build relationships and their communication style with student-athletes. The findings of this study provide insights to student-athletes' perception of their coach’s behavior and how it affects the student-athletes performance during practice or competition. Findings also contribute to student-athletes’ mental and emotional wellness, providing coaches with resources and knowledge of effective team communication. This study emphasizes the importance of student-athlete relationships, communication, and perception of their coach’s behavior.

description: Western equine encephalitis virus (WEEV) is a New World (NW) encephalitic alphavirus. WEEV has been documented in North and South America with most human cases occurring in the Western U.S. and epizootic episodes occurring in S. America. WEEV is transmitted to humans via mosquito and clinical manifestations may include mild flu-like symptoms or more extreme manifestations including encephalitis, seizures or neurological complications that contribute to 3-5% fatality rates. NW alphaviruses including WEEV have 11 kB, positive-sense single-stranded RNA genomes that encode non-structural proteins and produce structural proteins from a subgenomic promoter. A critical structural protein, capsid, is the first protein transcribed from the subgenomic promoter and is composed of 240 repeating capsid monomers that contribute to the structure of the viral nucleocapsid. Other NW alphavirus capsid proteins such as VEEV capsid, have been previously elucidated as critical modulators in inhibition of host-cell mRNA transcription. In addition, VEEV capsid interacts with host-cell importin-alpha and -beta along with exportin-1 (CRM1) to traverse and block the nuclear pore, which contributes to its transcriptional inhibition activity. Specific information regarding pathogenesis and the role of WEEV capsid has not been identified. The current study investigates the specific role of WEEV capsid in pathogenesis through proteomic-interaction studies. A WEEV capsid expression construct was designed, transfected and expressed in Vero and BSR-T7 cells. Following validation of protein expression in both cell types, WEEV capsid was immunoprecipitated with V5 antibody and utilized for mass spectrometry (MS) analysis of protein interactions. Several proteins were identified as potential interactors by MS including those involved in cellular roles involving nuclear import and export, composition of the nuclear pore complex, mRNA splicing, and proteins involved in cellular RNA metabolism. Exportin-1 (CRM1) and importin-alpha, host nuclear export and import proteins were identified and validated by IP/WB as interacting with WEEV capsid. Future studies will include validation of other MS-identified protein interactors and observation of knockdown of CRM1 and importin-alpha and subsequent effect on capsid cellular localization. Studies involving CRM1 and importin-alpha could lead to further insight regarding the pathogenesis of WEEV and provide foundation for host-based therapeutics that target capsid-host protein interactions.

Creators: name: Korotkova, Natasha

Publisher: name: Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin
Year: 2025
Subjects: subject: 410 Linguistik

description: While there has been much research on the typology of speech reports, the variety of communicative predicates has remained largely understudied. In line with the growing body of work on the fine-grained semantics of clause-taking predicates, we explore possible distinctions within the communicative group by zooming in on the behavior of the English verb claim. Our main focus is what we call the NON-ENDORSEMENT PUZZLE: a distinct sense that the speaker is not fully on board with the content of a claim report. We ruminate on possible sources of this effect, such as the speaker’s doxastic state or insufficient evidence, and conclude that non-endorsement is not conventionally encoded, but arises due to the properties of discourses described by claim. We argue that it reports assertions that have not been accepted (yet) and that the gap between the proposal and its possible acceptance is responsible for the sense that claim reports something less than an ideal Gricean assertion.

description: The present study focused on experiences of formerly incarcerated women and how their race, gender and class effected their experiences during and following incarceration. Using the theories of critical race, intersectionality, and anti-Black racism; interviews were conducted with eight formerly incarcerated women to explore (1) if class played a part in their criminal justice experience (2) if participants had minor children and how her incarceration impacted them (3) how incarceration effected their ability to find housing, employment, and support their family. These women’s experiences yielded powerful findings that provide a deeper understanding of the unique experiences and challenges that can inform academic and legislative professionals on tools and opportunities that can address barriers that limit post-incarceration success as well and reduce the need for incarceration.
title: On causal inferences of counterfactual conditionals: Mandarin vs. German
Creators: name: Liu, Mingya
Publisher: name: Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin
Year: 2025
Subjects: subject: 410 Linguistik

description: Causal dependence and counterfactual dependence are tightly related, as can be seen in David Lewis’ counterfactual definition of causation (i.e., Where A and C are two distinct actual events, C causally depends on A if and only if, if A were not to occur C would not occur.). In natural language semantics and pragmatics, researchers also study the causal inferences of counterfactual conditionals (e.g., “If Susan had not pushed John, he wouldn’t have fallen.” can mean “John fell because Susan pushed him.”) and their formal modelling, but there is no consensus as to whether the inference is semantic or pragmatic. Languages use different devices to express counterfactuals: while some (e.g., English, German) use tense, aspect or mood, Mandarin Chinese can use conditional connectives (yaobushi, i.e., “if-not”) solely. We present a preliminary study with two rating experiments in Mandarin and German targeting the semantic or pragmatic status of the causal inference triggered by counterfactual conditionals. Results show that Mandarin counterfactual conditionals encode semantic causality, whereas the causal inference with German counterfactual conditionals is weaker.
title: Exploration of Local Sea Level Rise Planning Public Perceptions

Year: 2018
Subjects: subject: Earth Science
subject: Sea Level rise (SLR)

description: Sea level rise (SLR) is a potentially destructive phenomenon to coastal communities, despite uncertainties surrounding its extent, timing, and impacts. Forces driving SLR include climate change and geologic factors, globally and locally. Information available to communities preparing for SLR will likely never be perfect, given the difficulty of planning through uncertain global projections and assessing local conditions. Communities will need to develop SLR plans despite uncertainties, balancing factors such as determining the scope of a plan, assessing funding options, and identifying conflict resolution methods. This study describes a survey assessing the range of public preferences on these three planning factors. Key findings include that public engagement may be effective for overcoming local conflict, that too much focus on government intervention could be divisive, and that there are a wide variety of palatable methods to fund planning and implementation of those plans. This research informs local planning to reduce SLR risks.

Subjects: subject: 410 Linguistik

description: This paper pulls together four strands of Regine’s research: vocatives, imperatives, self-addressed questions, and Free Indirect Discourse (FID). Though hardly occurring in FID, vocatives and imperatives in fact abound in Interior Monologue (IM), and the question is what that might mean. We evidently think things that can aptly be reported with sentences such as “Watch out, Wonder Woman!”, most of the time ‘addressing’ ourselves – and in so doing, we seem to be trying to induce ourselves to feel and act in certain ways. This could imply that we have two selves, an alter beside the ego, but just as likely, or more, it means that we engage in thought acts that help us form decisions, in part through deliberation, in part through intuition.

description: Abstract

The local governance system in Thailand has undergone continuous development, including reforms of local administrative organization structures and adjustments to position acquisition processes, separating administrative executives from local councils. This research aims to: 1) analyze the components of leadership among mayors in the central region of Thailand. 2) Assess the leadership level among mayors in the central region of Thailand. 3) Develop a model for the leadership development of mayors in the central region of Thailand. A mixed-method approach combining quantitative and qualitative research was employed. The quantitative study involved a sample of 400 mayors from municipalities across the central provinces of Thailand, including city municipalities, town municipalities, and subdistrict municipalities. The sample size was determined based on 20 times the number of observed variables and selected using a multistage random sampling method. Data were collected through questionnaires and analyzed using structural equation modeling. The qualitative research involved in-depth interviews with 30 key informants, including mayors, academics specializing in local political leadership, and senior officials responsible for developing and promoting local governance. The results revealed that: 1) The leadership components of mayors in the central region of Thailand include competence, change leadership, internal community collaboration, external community engagement, and ethics. 2) Competence, change leadership, internal community collaboration, external community engagement, and ethics were rated high. Moreover, 3) A Model for Leadership Development of Mayors in the Central Region of Thailand. The LDM Model (Model of Leadership Development Mechanism for Mayors in the Central Region of Thailand) was developed by the researcher to emphasize the importance of mechanisms that encourage collaboration between mayors and citizens, partnerships with both public and private sectors, and the use of online platforms or applications to collect public feedback.

description: Peavalu on üks sagedasemaid arsti poole pöördumise põhjusi lastel ja noorukitel lihasluukonna ning kõhuvalude järel: seda esineb 54%-l lastest. Praegu on peavalude diagnoosimisel kasutusel rahvusvahelise peavaluhäirete klassifikatsiooni III väljaande esialgne ehk beetaversioon. Selle alusel jaotatakse peavalud kolme suurde rühma: primaarsed peavalud, sekundaarsed peavalud ja valulikud kraniaalsed neuropaatiad ning teised näo- ja peapiirkonna valud. Ka lastel nii nagu täiskasvanutel on kõige sagedasemad primaarsed peavalud, kuid oluline on diagnoosimisel välistada esmalt sekundaarsed peavalud. Järgneb õige peavalutüübi diagnoosimine ning seejärel sobivaimate leevendus- ja ravivõtete leidmine. Diagnostikas, haiguse kulu jälgimisel ning ravi tõhususe hindamisel on asendamatuks peavalupäevik. Primaarsete peavalude ravi hõlmab hoo ravi ja vajaduse korral profülaktilist ravi.

Sgr A* soffia le bolle al centro della Via Lattea

Publisher: name: Media Inaf

Da uno studio pubblicato su Nature Astronomy sembrerebbe che le bolle di eRosita siano il risultato di potenti getti emessi da Sagittarius A*, dai quali il materiale sarebbe iniziato a fluire circa 2.6 milioni di anni fa, per una durata di circa 100mila anni. Lo stesso studio, basato su simulazioni numeriche che tengono conto dell’idrodinamica, della gravità e dei raggi cosmici, ipotizza che anche le più piccole bolle di Fermi abbiano origine dal buco nero supermassiccio

Un’immagine del Chandra X-ray Observatory della Nasa mostra un filamento estremamente lungo di materia e antimateria che si estende da una pulsar relativamente piccola. La sua enorme estensione, dicono due astrofisici della Stanford University, può spiegare il numero sorprendentemente grande di positroni che gli scienziati hanno misurato nella Via Lattea
The Beam-Dump eXperiment
Creators: name: MARSICANO, LUCA
Publisher: name: Universit� degli studi di Genova
Year: 2020

description: Hadronic matter makes about 14% of the known universe. The remaining 86% is Dark Matter (DM). Since it does not interact with the ordinary matter via electromagnetic force, DM is not visible and, to date, it escaped detection. The search for DM is one of the hottest topic in modern physics. Despite
the increasing number of astrophysical and cosmological observations proving the existence, so far no particle physics experiment has detected DM yet. In a popular class of models, DM is composed of particles with mass in the MeV-GeV range, interacting with the Standard Model via a new force, mediated by a massive vector boson, the Dark Photon or A'.
BDX (Beam Dump eXperiment) is an approved experiment searching for DM in the Dark Photon theoretical scenario. The experiment makes use of CEBAF (Continuous Electron Beam Accelerator Facility) 11 GeV electron beam impinging on the Jefferson Lab (Jlab) Hall-A beam-dump. The interaction of the energetic electrons in the beam-dump may lead to the production of Dark Photons through a bremsstrahlung-like radiative process. Subsequently, the A's decay to DM particle-antiparticle pairs, which travel almost unaltered through the length of the dump. A ~ 1 cubic meter detector made of CsI(Tl) (Thallium doped Cesium Iodide) crystals is located in the trajectory of the DM beam, 20 m downstream of the beam-dump. A fraction of the DM particles scatter off atomic electrons in the detector giving rise to a detectable electromagnetic shower of approximately 100 MeV. Thanks to the cosmic background suppression and the high intensity of the electron beam (up to 65 ?A at 11 GeV), BDX will be able, with a 280 days run, to exceed by up to two orders of magnitude the sensitivity of current competitor experiments.
A primary concern for BDX is in the estimation of beam related backgrounds from penetrating particles such as muons and neutrinos produced in the electron beam dump. A hodoscope detector, called BDX-HODO was placed downstream of the dump to measure the rates of these beam related processes and validate the necessary Monte Carlo simulations.
Currently, the BDX collaboration is focused on the deployment and operation of a small detector, called BDX-MINI, built to perform a preliminary physics measurement searching for LDM at JLab. This test will pave the way to the realization of the full BDX experiment.
This thesis is focused on the following topics: the muon flux measurement behind Jlab Hall A beam-dump with BDX-HODO, the evaluation of the BDX experiment reach, including an optimization study for the detector, the construction, commissioning and sensitivity estimate of the BDX-mini detector and the evaluation of the secondary positrons contribution to the sensitivity of BDX and other electron-beam thick-target experiments searching for DM in the Dark Photon paradigm.

Chury, l’abbondanza d’ossigeno è un’illusione

Publisher: name: Media Inaf
Year: 2022

Secondo uno studio guidato dalla Johns Hopkins University, l'abbondanza di ossigeno molecolare rilevato dalla sonda Rosetta nella chioma della cometa 67P deriverebbe da un serbatoio secondario interno in cui il gas rimane intrappolato e il cui rilascio fa sembrare che ci sia più ossigeno di quello che in realtà c'è. Come suggerito all’epoca della sua scoperta, si tratterebbe di ossigeno vecchio quanto il Sistema solare, la cui quantità è però minore del previsto
