description: The SWI/SNF ATP-dependent chromatin-remodeling complex is an important evolutionarily conserved regulator of cell cycle progression. It associates with the Retinoblastoma (pRb)/HDAC/E2F/DP transcription complex to modulate cell cycle-dependent gene expression. The key catalytic component of the SWI/SNF complex in mammals is the ATPase subunit, Brahma (BRM) or BRG1. BRG1 was previously shown to be phosphorylated by the G1-S phase cell cycle regulatory kinase Cyclin E/CDK2 in vitro, which was associated with the bypass of G1 arrest conferred by BRG1 expression. However, it is unknown whether direct Cyclin E/CDK2-mediated phosphorylation of BRM/BRG1 is important for G1-S phase cell cycle progression and proliferation in vivo. Herein, we demonstrate for the first time the importance of CDK-mediated phosphorylation of Brm in cell proliferation and differentiation in vivo using the Drosophila melanogaster model organism. Expression of a CDK-site phospho-mimic mutant of Brm, brm-ASP (all the potential CDK sites are mutated from Ser/Thr to Asp), which acts genetically as a brm loss-of-function allele, dominantly accelerates progression into the S phase, and bypasses a Retinoblastoma-induced developmental G1 phase arrest in the wing epithelium. Conversely, expression of a CDK-site phospho-blocking mutation of Brm, brm-ALA, acts genetically as a brm gain-of-function mutation, and in a Brm complex compromised background reduces S phase cells. Expression of the brm phospho-mutants also affected differentiation and Decapentaplegic (BMP/TGFβ) signaling in the wing epithelium. Altogether our results show that CDK-mediated phosphorylation of Brm is important in G1-S phase regulation and differentiation in vivo.

description: Background Recently there has been exponential growth in mobile health (mHealth) applications (apps) for children with speech disorders. A challenge for health professionals and families is knowing how to find high quality apps that are therapeutically beneficial. We systematically search and critique the quality of mobile apps for childhood speech disorders. An evidence-based method for identifying suitable apps in the Google Play and Apple iTunes stores is also proposed. Methods and findings A systematic search of the Google Play and Apple iTunes app stores was conducted from November 2016 to May 2017. Twelve pre-defined search terms were applied, identifying 5076 apps. Systematic screening resulted in 132 unique apps for full appraisal. These were appraised by two raters using the Mobile Application Rating scale. None were of excellent quality. Twenty-five were of good quality, 105 average and 2 were poor or very poor. Discussion It can be challenging for consumers to locate high quality speech therapy apps for children. Although we found more than 5000 apps, less than 3% met criteria for evaluation. Difficulties sourcing valid apps included: (i) Boolean operators were not available and therefore only one search term could be used each time (ii) the order of app listings in online stores continually changed (iii) apps were organised in online stores according to relevance and popularity (iv) there was no easy way to extract app titles and eliminate duplicates (v) app cost did not always correlate with therapeutic quality. Conclusions The rapid growth of mHealth heightens the need to develop rigorous and efficient systems to search and retrieve apps and evaluate their therapeutic benefits. Given the difficulty accessing speech therapy services worldwide, mHealth promises therapy benefits when apps are reliable, valid and easily found.

description: https://journals.plos.org/plosone/article?id=10.1371/journal.pone.0221735Background: Cognitive impairment affects up to 80 percent of the stroke population, however, both the available evidence about post-stroke cognition and the measures used to evaluate it longitudinally have not been well described. The aims of this systematic scoping review were: to identify and characterize studies evaluating cognition longitudinally after stroke; to summarize the cognitive instruments used and the domains they target; and to organize cognitive domains assessed using the International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health (ICF). Methods: We used a systematic scoping approach to search for peer-reviewed articles involving adults with stroke that evaluated cognition longitudinally. Screening of titles, abstracts, and full reports was completed independently by two reviewers, across six electronic databases (PubMed, PsycInfo, Medline, Cinahl Plus, Embase, and Web of Science). Cognitive domains were mapped to an ICF function independently by the same two reviewers, using a previously tested, standardized approach. Results: A total of 5,540 records were found; 257 were included, representing a total pooled sample of 120,860 stroke survivors. Of these studies, 200 (78%) provided specific cognitive outcomes from the longitudinal evaluations, 57 (22%) reported model predictions, and 77 (30%) included interventions. Cognition was evaluated with 356 unique instruments, targeting 95 distinct cognitive domains, and 17 mental functions from the ICF. The Mini-Mental State Examination was the most frequently used instrument (117 reports, 46%). Other tools used longitudinally were the Trail Making Test (17% of reports), tests of verbal fluency (14%), the Functional Independence Measure (14%), the Montreal Cognitive Assessment (13%), the Digit Span (11%), and the Stroop test (10%). Global cognition was evaluated in 170 reports (66%), followed by higher-level cognitive functioning (29%), memory (28%), language (21%), attention (21%), and perceptual skills (14%). Studies using functional (or performance-based) cognitive assessments over time were scarce (< 1%). Conclusion: Our findings indicate that whilst there is a substantial number of studies available that report longitudinal evaluations of cognition after stroke, there is large variability in the measures used and the cognitive domains they target. Nonetheless, the available data for evaluation of cognition over time after stroke can be organized and described systematically.

description: The human protein arginine methyltransferase NDUFAF7 controls the assembly of the ∼1-MDa mitochondrial complex I (CI; the NADH ubiquinone oxidoreductase) by methylating its subunit NDUFS2. We determined crystal structures of MidA, the Dictyostelium ortholog of NDUFAF7. The MidA catalytic core domain resembles other eukaryotic methyltransferases. However, three large core loops assemble into a regulatory domain that is likely to control ligand selection. Binding of MidA to NDUFS2 is weakened by methylation, suggesting a mechanism for methylation-controlled substrate release. Structural and bioinformatic analyses support that MidA and NDUFAF7 and their role in CI assembly are conserved from bacteria to humans, implying that protein methylation already existed in proteobacteria. In vivo studies confirmed the critical role of the MidA methyltransferase activity for CI assembly, growth, and phototaxis of Dictyostelium. Collectively, our data elucidate the origin of protein arginine methylation and its use by MidA/NDUFAF7 to regulate CI assembly. The biological role of protein arginine methyltransferases (PRMTs) outside of the nucleus is poorly understood. Hameed et al. provide structural evidence for a proteobacterial origin of PRMTs. Their work suggests a methylation-controlled substrate release mechanism and reveals that arginine methylation controls complex I assembly, growth, and phototaxis in Dictyostelium.

description: An increasing number of studies have shown supplementation with the amino acid taurine to have promise in ameliorating dystrophic symptoms in the mdx mouse model of Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy (DMD). Here we build on this limited body of work by investigating the efficacy of supplementing mdx mice with taurine postnatally at a time suggestive of when dystrophic symptoms would begin to manifest in humans, and when treatments would likely begin. Mdx mice were given either taurine (mdx tau), the steroid alpha methylprednisolone (PDN), or tau + PDN (mdx tau + PDN). Taurine (2.5% wt/vol) enriched drinking water was given from 14 days and PDN (1 mg/kg daily) from 18 days. Wild-type (WT, C57BL10/ScSn) mice were used as a control to mdx mice to represent healthy tissue. In the mdx mouse, peak damage occurs at 28 days, and in situ assessment of contractile characteristics showed that taurine, PDN, and the combined taurine + PDN treatment was ineffective at attenuating the force loss experienced by mdx mice. Given the benefits of taurine as well as methylprednisolone reported previously, when supplemented at close proximity to the onset of severity muscle degeneration these benefits are no longer apparent.

description: Introduction: Transdermal alcohol monitors, such as Secure Continuous Remote Alcohol Monitors (SCRAMs), enable continuous measurement of alcohol consumption in participants’ natural environments free from recall bias and response burden. This paper explores young research participants’ experience of wearing SCRAMs to provide insights into the potential of the devices to be used for research on a larger scale. Method: In south-east Australia, participants were recruited among festival attendees (n = 12) and college students (n = 18). Participants wore the SCRAMs over 3–4 days, and upon returning the devices participated in a semi-structured qualitative interview about their experiences of the devices. Results: Most participants reported becoming unaware of the device after initial adjustment and did not believe their drinking patterns had been altered by wearing the SCRAM. Perceived similarities with correctional monitoring equipment led to a number of social interactions with onlookers, but participants generally felt at ease with this. Common issues reported by participants related to the physical discomfort and restrictions caused by the devices, citing problems with sleeping, exercising, and irritation with the clamping mechanism as impediments. Conclusions: Although SCRAMs have not been designed with research purposes in mind, this study highlights their utility in measuring alcohol consumption in real-life and real-time. Most participants suggested that their drinking patterns were unaffected and that any physical discomfort was manageable; however, comfort is a critical consideration in terms of improving the user experience. Adequately controlled validation studies are needed to determine if and how wearing SCRAMs affects retention, behaviour and drinking patterns.

description: Background: Many people wait long periods for community outpatient services. However little is known about the impact of waiting from referral to first visit on patient outcomes. The aim of this systematic review is to investigate whether waiting for community outpatient services is associated with adverse effects on patient outcomes. Methods: Medline, Embase, Psych Info and CINAHL databases were searched, combining the key concepts of waiting for healthcare and patient outcomes. Studies were included if they reported data comparing health outcomes for patients with different waiting times for the same period. Three reviewers applied inclusion and exclusion criteria to identified studies and assessed quality using the McMaster Critical Review Forms. Levels of evidence were assessed using National Health and Medical Research Council guidelines. Included studies were analysed using a descriptive synthesis, and summarised according to levels of evidence and clinical significance for key outcomes. Results: Fourteen studies that included 69,606 adult patients were selected. Selected studies included patients referred for treatment for musculoskeletal disorders (n = 28,722) or to cardiac rehabilitation (n = 40,884). There was low-level evidence that reduced wait time is associated with moderate improvement in workplace participation for patients seeking care for musculoskeletal conditions; and moderate improvement in exercise tolerance for patients referred to cardiac rehabilitation. There was inconsistent evidence that improvements in quality of life, patient satisfaction and psychological symptoms may be associated with shorter wait times. Pain, function and physical activity outcomes were not associated with wait time. Conclusions: This review found low-level evidence suggesting an association between early access to community outpatient services and improvement of some patient outcomes. Specifically, shorter wait times from referral to first visit for musculoskeletal pain services may improve patient work participation. Shorter wait times for cardiac rehabilitation may improve patient exercise capacity. The effects of a short wait time for other patient conditions and patient outcomes, including quality of life, psychological symptoms and patient experience, are inconclusive. The modest benefits in health outcomes observed in reducing wait time for community outpatient services suggest that other possible benefits such as increasing patient flow should be explored.

description: The underrepresentation of women in athletic leadership positions has been researched extensively. The focus of these investigations, however, tends to be on external factors such as discrimination, stereotypes, and societal gender roles. This study expands knowledge of women in athletic leadership positions by exploring the effect of self-efficacy and self-confidence on their leadership aspirations. A mixed methods convergent parallel design was used to collect data from assistant and associate athletic directors of NCAA Division I schools in the Atlantic Coast Conference (ACC). The survey consisted of items related to self-confidence, self-efficacy, and leadership perceptions. Results of this study will help contribute to knowledge about social psychological factors that result in an inequality of women in sport leadership positions.

Publisher: name: Economia Aziendale Online
Year: 2016
Subjects: Practice Management, Ties, Mirror Neurons, Organizational Networks

description: The paper analyses the development of new organizational arrangements focusing on inter-organizational forms building and adopting the mirror neurons perspective.

This approach could be tested with the Practice Management (Simulimpresa) methodology, based on learning by doing, for two reasons: first, it consists in the reproduction of a real organization in a simulated environment and, secondly, it is a didactical methodology addressed to develop behaviours oriented to networks management.

The paper investigates the dynamics of internal and external ties developed by Perting, the Practice Firm established since2001 inBologna University, still in use for didactical and research purposes.

The hypothesis is concerning the existing of a correspondence between internal and external ties produced during experimentation. This would be an attempt to study the appliance of mirror neurons theories to the building of organizational forms starting from the virtual ones realized by Practice Management, as a way to facilitate the reproduction of organizations in the real world.

The findings point out that  intra-inter organizational ties developed by Perting in simulation laboratory seem to have a significant relation to new forms of organizing created by the symmetry real-simulated environment and as a structured feedback from managerial activities realized by participants.

Subjects: CSR, gender equality, women engagement, social-economic development, smart economics.

description: The aim of the paper is to explore the theme of gender equality, which is determined both by culture and mentality of each country, together with its connections with corporate social responsibility (CSR). In particular the paper examines how CSR can be a potential policy instrument useful for the advancement of gender equality. The capability to boost economic development and growth implies the need to encourage equal involvement of men and women yet in education and then in labour force, to ensure full utilization of available national resources. Despite the progress occurred in economic and social development, gender equality remains challenge both in political and economic decision-making worldwide. The topic of gender equality is assuming a growing role also at firm’s level as a key factor for strengthening CSR strategies. In this framework, the paper analyses two best practices: Luisa Spagnoli and Arup. Luisa Spagnoli was a social pioneer in the promotion of gender equality after the First World War, a true advocate for workingwomen and dedicated to improving quality of life for all her employees.

Lo scopo del lavoro è quello di esplorare il tema della parità di genere, che è determinata sia dalla cultura sia dalla mentalità di ogni paese, insieme alle sue connessioni con la Responsabilità Sociale d’Imprese (RSI). In particolare, il documento esamina come la RSI può essere un potenziale strumento di politica utile per il progresso della parità di genere. La capacità di promuovere lo sviluppo economico e la crescita implica la necessità di promuovere la parità di coinvolgimento di uomini e donne nell’istruzione e nella forza lavoro, al fine di garantire il pieno utilizzo delle risorse nazionali disponibili. Nonostante i progressi verificatisi nello sviluppo economico e sociale, la parità di genere rimane una sfida sia nelle decisioni politiche sia in quelle economiche di tutto il mondo. Il tema della parità di genere sta assumendo un ruolo sempre più importante anche a livello di impresa come fattore chiave per rafforzare le strategie di RSI. In questo quadro, il documento analizza due buone pratiche: Luisa Spagnoli e Arup. Luisa Spagnoli è stata un pioniere sociale nella promozione della parità di genere, dopo la prima guerra mondiale. E’ stata una vera e propria sostenitrice delle donne lavoratrici, volta a migliorare la qualità della vita per tutti i suoi dipendenti.

description: Due to pressure manifested towards reducing costs, rapid changes in business models, legislation or capital markets requirements many organizations have considered the need for a "reshuffle" of the financial reporting information systems. Analyzing the information provided by the international financial and accounting consulting companies, it results that the financial reporting and control of costs are highlighted as key elements of the economic and financial performance; so upgrading systems that provide elements for underlying the decisions in this sphere of activity is a condition for the sustainable business development. The concerns of the specialists are directed towards standardizing and automating business processes in order to reduce information’s complexity and increase transparency on how to obtain the output of an organization. The geographical dispersion of a multinational company’s units can generate difficulties arising from differences between the internal accounting practices and the ones used outside the company’s country. Harmonization of financial reporting procedures, using modern technologies can be useful in this case.

description: A system that integrates genotypic associations (QTL, gene, proteins, markers) to a required phenotypic trait, can help in formulating a precise breeding program. The big data challenge for the (near) future is on how to incorporate this information present in biological databases and scientific literature, effectively to support trait lead discovery for complex traits.

A significant amount of experimental information about these genotypic-phenotypic associations might be implicitly described in tables and figure of scientific publication. Traditionally text mining techniques that focus on extracting knowledge from unstructured free text cannot mining tables from an articles. Here, we propose a system that semantically extract QTL information from heterogeneous tables by semantically tagging of biological concepts founds in rows, columns, and cells of a table. These additional annotations help the machine to capture a given tabulated statement as a Nanopublications i.e. smallest unit of a publishable information. These Nanopublication statements are in linked data format according to Fair Data Principles. Eventually, all the extracted  knowledge can be used as a backbone of a decision support system which would provides strategies for breeding the crops of interest.
title: THREE ESSAYS ON LABOR ECONOMICS: WOMEN AND IMMIGRANTS IN THE LABOR MARKET

description: This dissertation explores some of the current issues aﬀecting the female and immigrant portions of the labor force, such as the gender wage gap and the path to legality for undoc umented immigrants. Its aim is to shed light into some of the dynamics that are at play in the complex realms of women and immigrants in the workforce; in particular to look at some of the obstacles that prevent their free and full participation in the U.S. labor force. Chapter 1 considers the most recent trends exhibited by the female labor force partici pation rates by ethnicity. Labor force participation rates for women increased steadily over the course of the twentieth century, but have declined since the year 2000. This has been the case for all population groups, except for one: Hispanic women. Their participation has increased since then –even through the Great Recession– while all other groups’ participa tion has declined even more sharply than before. Explanations for the decline of labor force participation rates include work force age, the return to school, and child care issues par ticularly in the case of women. This chapter ﬁnds that a lower reliance on market childcare allowed Hispanic females to remain in the labor force, thus making them “recession-proof”. Chapter 2 looks into social norms as a potential explanatory factor for the current gender wage gap. In general, choice of marriage and childbearing are the preeminent behavioral explanations for the yet unexplained fraction of the gender wage gap. Recent literature explores to what extent these choices lead to a bigger gap and what social norms are behind it. It has been proposed that traditional gender roles cause a voluntary reduction in earnings in the case of married women. This paper utilizes political, geographic, and religious proxies for traditional beliefs to explore that claim, and ﬁnds that location and job availability appear to drive the income gap between never-married women and men, whereas political and religious proxies for traditional beliefs have a larger impact on the income gap between married women and men. Chapter 3 analyzes the potential eﬀects of legality on the labor decisions of unauthorized immigrants. Unauthorized immigrants have been largely perceived as failing to prosper economically, or as showing poor “market citizenship”, and therefore not deserving of citi zenship status. Using a new methodology of imputation to generate estimates around the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals Program (DACA), this paper explores that notion, together with the idea of “citizen advantage”, to show that the causality is actually reversed: that integrating otherwise unauthorized immigrants into the legal society allows for a less constrained decision optimization process, which in turn results in them pursuing economic prosperity, not only for themselves, but also for their communities.

description: An astronaut monorail system (AMS) is presented as a vehicle to transport and position EV A astronauts along large space truss structures. The AMS is proposed specifically as an alternative to the crew and equipment transfer aid for Space Station Freedom. Design considerations for the AMS were discussed and a reference configuration was selected for the study. Equations were developed to characterize the stiffness and frequency behavior of the AMS positioning arm. Experimental data showed that these equations gave an fairly accurate representation of the stiffness and frequency behavior of the arm. A study was presented to show trends for the arm behavior based on varying parameters of the stiffness and frequency equations. An ergonomics study was conducted to provide boundary conditions for tolerable frequency and deflection to be used in developing a design concept for the positioning arm. The feasibility of the AMS positioning arm was examined using equations and working curves developed in this study. It was found that a positioning arm of a length to reach all interior points of the space station truss structure could not be designed to satisfy frequency and deflection constraints. By relaxing the design requirements and the ergonomic boundaries, an arm could be designed which would provide a stable work platform for the EVA astronaut and give him access to over 75% of the truss interior.

description: © 2018 CSIRO. The rainforest genus Gossia N.Snow & Guymer (Myrtaceae) occurs in Australia, Melanesia and Malesia, and is capable of hyperaccumulating the heavy metal manganese (Mn). Here, we used nuclear ribosomal and plastid spacer DNA-sequence data to reconstruct the phylogeny of 19 Australian species of Gossia and eight New Caledonian taxa. Our results indicated that the relationship between Gossia and Austromyrtus (Nied.) Burret is not fully resolved, and most Australian species were supported as monophyletic. Non-monophyly might be related to incomplete lineage sorting or inaccurate taxonomic classification. Bark type appears to be a morphological synapomorphy separating two groups of species, with more recently derived lineages having smooth and mottled 'python' bark. New Caledonian species were well resolved in a single clade, but were not the first diverging Gossia lineage, calling into doubt the results of a recent study that found Zealandia as the ancestral area of tribe Myrteae. Within Australia, the evolution of multiple clades has probably been driven by well-known biogeographic barriers. Some species with more widespread distributions have been able to cross these barriers by having a wide range of soil-substrate tolerances. Novel Mn-hyperaccumulating species were identified, and, although Mn hyperaccumulation was not strongly correlated with phylogenetic position, there appeared to be some difference in accumulation levels among clades. Our study is the first detailed phylogenetic investigation of Gossia and will serve as a reference for future studies seeking to understand the origin and extent of hyperaccumulation within the Myrteae and Myrtaceae more broadly.

description: Intrauterine growth restriction (IUGR) is known to alter vascular smooth muscle reactivity, but it is currently unknown whether these changes are driven by downstream events that lead to force development, specifically, Ca2+-regulated activation of the contractile apparatus or a shift in contractile protein content. This study investigated the effects of IUGR on Ca2+-activated force production, contractile protein expression, and a potential phenotypic switch in the resistance mesenteric artery of both male and female Wistar-Kyoto (WKY) rats following two different growth restriction models. Pregnant female WKY rats were randomly assigned to either a control (C; N = 9) or food restriction diet (FR; 40% of control; N = 11) at gestational day-15 or underwent a bilateral uterine vessel ligation surgery restriction (SR; N = 10) or a sham surgery control model (SC; N = 12) on day-18 of gestation. At 6-months of age, vascular responsiveness of intact mesenteric arteries was studied, before chemically permeabilization using 50 μmol/L β-escin to investigate Ca2+-activated force. Peak responsiveness to a K+-induced depolarization was decreased (P ≤ 0.05) due to a reduction in maximum Ca2+-activated force (P ≤ 0.05) in both male growth restricted experimental groups. Vascular responsiveness was unchanged between female experimental groups. Segments of mesenteric artery were analyzed using Western blotting revealed IUGR reduced the relative abundance of important receptor and contractile proteins in male growth restricted rats (P ≤ 0.05), suggesting a potential phenotypic switch, whilst no changes were observed in females. Results from this study suggest that IUGR alters the mesenteric artery reactivity due to a decrease in maximum Ca2+-activated force, and likely contributed to by a reduction in contractile protein and receptor/channel content in 6-month-old male rats, while female WKY rats appear to be protected.

description: Many ideas have been put forward for the adaptive value of the cassowary casque; and yet, its purpose remains speculative. Homeothermic animals elevate body temperature through metabolic heat production. Heat gain must be offset by heat loss to maintain internal temperatures within a range for optimal performance. Living in a tropical climate, cassowaries, being large bodied, dark feathered birds, are under thermal pressure to offload heat. We tested the original hypothesis that the casque acts as a thermal window. With infrared thermographic analyses of living cassowaries over an expansive range of ambient temperatures, we provide evidence that the casque acts as a thermal radiator, offloading heat at high temperatures and restricting heat loss at low temperatures. Interestingly, at intermediate temperatures, the casque appears thermally heterogeneous, with the posterior of the casque heating up before the front half. These findings might have implications for the function of similar structures in avian and non-avian dinosaurs.

description: The purpose of this study was to explore first time handlers’ experiences when working with an assistance dog (AD). Interviewees included seven first time AD handlers and 14 other individuals close to these handlers, including family members, carers and AD instructors. Semi-structured interviews were conducted six months and one year after each handler received their AD. Interview questions were informed by the Thriving Through Relationships theory of social support and previous interviews with the participants. Inductive content analysis corroborated previous findings regarding the benefits that ADs provide. In addition, four factors were revealed to substantially influence the challenges handlers experienced when learning to utilize their dog. These included the handlers’ medical conditions, cognitive ability and social environment, and dog-related factors. Organizations would benefit from considering these factors in their operational processes.
