description: More than 80% of the Brazilian population inhabits urban areas. Diffused poverty and the lack of fresh vegetables have generated malnutrition and unbalanced diets. Thus, the interest in growing food locally, in urban allotments and community gardens, has increased. However, urban agriculture may present some risks caused by the urban pollution. Road traffic is considered the biggest source of heavy metals in urban areas. Hence, the objective of the study was the assessment of the accumulation of heavy metals in an urban garden in the city of Recife, at different distances from a road with high traffic burden. The results showed that the distance from the street decreased the accumulation of many potentially toxic elements. Furthermore, the human health risk was estimated, revealing that greater danger was associated with the accumulation of antimony. Concentration of other elements in the leaf tissues were within previously reported thresholds.

description: The use of Remotely Piloted Vehicles, or Drones, has increased in the past few years. The purpose of this study is to assess the official discourse, invoked by the United States government, around drones and analyze them through the frames and theoretical perspectives. Using critical discourse analysis, by examining speeches and remarks given by the White House administration, I analyze those official narratives and develop an understanding of how language is used in these instances. In particular I examine how the official discourse legitimizes the use of violence via social death.

title: Social Identity, Leadership and Group Behavior: Theory and Experiments
Creators: name: (:Unkn) Unknown
Publisher: name: George Mason University

description: Social identity has the potential of influencing economic decision-making and has become a defining feature of contemporary society. This dissertation focuses on the behavioral impact of social identity on group behavior and discusses how it can affect diversity, equity and inclusion in organizations and the society at large.In chapter 1, I report data from a novel laboratory experiment designed to examine whether clientelism can be sustained as a political strategy, and whether social identity impacts the nature or efficacy of clientelism. Electoral clientelism or vote buying has been regarded as undermining democratic institutions and weakening the accountability of the state towards its citizens, especially the poor. Social identity as a form of political mobilization may contribute to this, enabling support to be won with clientelist transfers. Specifically, I design a voting and leadership game in order to examine whether individuals vote for clientelist allocations by a leader even at the expense of more efficient and egalitarian allocations. The main finding is that group identity does not significantly impact the prevalence of clientelist plans. Leaders are more likely, however, to choose allocations that provide fewer benefits (lower rents) to themselves when they are part of the majority ingroup than when they are in the minority. In chapter 2, I use a novel laboratory experimental design to study how group identity - both the leader’s and the group’s impact a leader’s effectiveness. I report data from leader-follower games where the leader may or may not share a social identity with the rest of the group. The main findings are that outgroup leaders find it challenging to be as effective as ingroup leaders in encouraging cooperation because they are less likely to be followed and are also less motivated themselves. My results have important policy implications regarding equity concerns, cooperation within teams and breaking the shackles of discrimination and prejudice with more representation of minority groups in leadership positions. In chapter 3, I present a multidisciplinary literature review on diversity, equity, and inclusion, especially in leadership. The many and various benefits of diversity, equity, and inclusion help us to understand that it is not only an ethical concern, but it is also advantageous and profitable to pursue a more diverse and inclusive culture in teams, workplaces, organizations, and societies. But attention to diversity, should not be simply about underrepresentation; it should not be limited to cataloging the presence or absence of leaders from diverse groups. It involves rephrasing the conversation about diversity and inclusion, and addressing biases, both conscious and unconscious that may hinder integration.

description: First impressions can play an important role in how we judge and interact with other people. Humans often rely on rapid judgments of personality traits and qualities, such as trustworthiness, based on physical features such as someone’s face. Similarly, perceptions of the attractiveness are often made quickly and based on facial features. A common contributor to ratings of trustworthiness and attractiveness is facial symmetry: we tend to find faces that are more symmetrical to be both attractive and trustworthy. There is also evidence of differences between males and females in the use of cues such as symmetry in judgments of faces. This thesis aimed to describe the interactions between face symmetry and the perception of trustworthiness and attractiveness, as well as possible contributions of sex differences in the use of these cues. In this study I created a task to determine the contribution of symmetry to judgments of trustworthiness and attractiveness. The study utilized an online experiment environment, Millisecond. The experiment assessed trustworthiness and attractiveness among faces in a judgment task. Due to technical difficulties we could not collect data from the trustworthiness ratings. However, I did find evidence for differences in the reliance on face symmetry for judgments of attractiveness between males and females. This behavioral research contributes to our understanding of human perception and could potentially be applied to jury selection, among other uses.

description: Climate change due to increasing atmospheric greenhouse gas levels presents a potential threat to ecosystems and a challenge to effective management of natural resources. Marine ecosystems, already under significant stress due to overexploitation, are expected to experience changes by the end of century due to anthropogenic climatic change. Effective management of future marine ecosystems will require policymakers to consider the full range of potential climatic impacts, which may not be fully captured by climate model projections. Evidence from the Mid-Pliocene, a period of similarly elevated greenhouse gas levels in Earth’s recent geological past, suggests that the spatial pattern of environmental change could differ substantially from model projections. A marine ecosystem model was created for the North Atlantic Ocean, an area of both economic significance for fisheries and disagreement between modeled and observed/reconstructed patterns of climatic change. This marine ecosystem model was calibrated using historical landings and historical environmental data. Different spatio-temporal patterns of environmental change were then assessed using climate model output and paleoclimatic reconstructions. While differences between the climate model- and paleoclimate-based warming scenarios were found, determining the full extent of such differences will require reconstructions of key environmental variables such as primary productivity, in addition to sea surface temperature. These findings demonstrate the potential for paleoclimate to inform policymaking, and suggest targets for future paleoclimatic reconstructions.
title: Association of Serum Cytokines with Liver Fibrosis as Measured by Computerized Morphometry across Diseases of NAFLD Spectrum

description: Global prevalence of nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is currently at 25%, and is expected to increase as a major public health concern due to the current worldwide obesity epidemic. The spectrum of NAFLD includes nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) and steatohepatitis-related hepatocellular carcinoma (SH-HCC). Not all patients with NAFLD progress to NASH. Molecular mechanisms behind the development and progression of this disease are poorly understood. The diagnosis and grading of NAFLD/NASH is dependent on the “gold standard” of invasive liver biopsy. This study attempts to correlate levels of serum biomarkers with quantified fibrotic changes in liver tissue biopsies of NAFLD patients. Liver biopsies from obese non-NAFLD, NAFLD, and NASH patients were analyzed via computerized morphometry to quantify the extent of steatosis and fibrosis. Results of immunoassaying of serum samples collected from histologically assessed patients indicate a negative correlation of the levels of IL-7 (p<0.05), IL-10 (p<0.01), G-CSF (p<0.05), and GM-CSF (p<0.05) with the extent of collagen deposits in liver biopsies. Nevertheless, when the levels of these cytokines were compared across the diseases of NAFLD spectrum, no significant differences in these levels were detected. We conclude that the levels of serum cytokines reflect amounts of the fibrosis in liver parenchyma assessed by computerized morphometry with better precision that standard histology-based categorization of NAFLD patients into diagnostic subgroups. Serum cytokine levels have a potential to be developed into sensitive diagnostic and/or prognostic biomarkers for non-invasive assessment and long-term monitoring of NAFLD.

The Role of Gender and Race in Children's Empathy Skills Across a Preschool Year

description: Children’s ability to recognize and respond appropriately to peers’ emotional states becomes increasingly significant as children enter formal schooling, where they will encounter challenging and diverse social situations. Despite extensive research on racial and gender biases in early childhood, and children’s empathetic behavior toward peers, there remains a notable gap in understanding how children's responses to their peers' emotions may vary based on demographic characteristics such as peer race and gender, especially in the preschool years. 

This study aims to investigate systematic differences in preschoolers' responses toward a child visually depicted in a stimulus photograph exhibiting anger or sadness, across diverse participant and stimulus demographics. Specifically, we explore systematic differences across three response outcomes: emotion recognition, expression of a supportive response strategy for the stimulus child, and whether their responses are agentic (ie., imply the participant’s personal involvement in the response). We estimate likelihoods of each outcome as a function of the participant’s gender, race, and age; the stimulus’ gender and race; and the interaction of the participant and stimulus’ gender and race. Our sample consists of racially, linguistically, and socioeconomically diverse children in urban preschools, assessed at two points throughout the school year (fall, N = 508; spring, N = 849). 

We found that overall, all students show improvements in empathy skills from fall to spring assessments, especially in the expression of supportive strategies for the distressed peer. Across racial lines, Black and White students are more likely to express supportive response strategies to a distressed child compared to Asian and Latine students. However, follow-up analyses reveal that many of the differences we see for Latine students are driven by language differences rather than culture. Girls show greater emotion recognition skills and expression of supportive strategies at both time points. We do not find significant differences in responses on the basis of the stimulus race or gender, nor in responses across the interaction of participant and stimulus race or gender. Therefore, we do not find any evidence for ingroup-outgroup differences in children’s responses. This research expands on our current understanding of the development of racial and gender dynamics in children’s empathetic responses toward diverse peers.

description: Retinal implants have become a more feasible eye-corrective tool in recent years. Examples of modern retinal implants include: the Argus II electronic epiretinal device, and the IMS electronic subretinal device (Jalil, Mills, & Stanga, 2017). Some more examples include, the Intelligent Retinal Implant system II (IRIS II) which has gained a CE mark1, and the EPI-RET3 Retinal Implant System which is an entirely intraocular implant. (Bloch, 2019). In addition, the use of retinal implants has now become both economically advantageous as well as approved for public use as in 2011 the Argus II Retinal Prothesis system received a CE mark (Jalil, Mills, & Stanga, 2017). In 2013 it was approved by the FDA (Jalil, Mills, & Stanga, 2017). According to an economic evaluation on the cost effectiveness of the Argus II retinal prothesis on patients with retinitis pigmentosa, patients are now willing to pay for the cost of the implants within countries in the Eurozone (Borgonovi et al.,2014). Unfortunately, while the retinal devices do improve vision, they do not provide a “high enough resolution or acuity for a patient to regain a fully functional life” (Jalil, Mills, & Stanga, 2017). Some studies use a sub-retinal approach using a semi-conductor-based prosthetic to stimulate the retina electrically (Chow et al., 2001). However, this study employed the use of felines as test subjects, not human subjects. Other studies that have used near infrared radiation to stimulate retinal cells as visible light is not powerful enough to create adequate stimulation (Hierzenberger et al., 1999). Additionally, there have been methods which attempt to resolve blindness employing electrical stimulation of the retina using an epiretinal electrode array and conclude that microelectrode arrays can stimulate human retinas invoking visual perceptions in blind patients (Bornfeld et al., 2012). Overall, there has been a plethora of different methods over the past few decades used to stimulate the retinas in order to improve or enable vision in patients with poor or no eyesight. In more recent years, it has been demonstrated that not only are retinal implants safe for use in humans, but they are also economically viable for most patients.

description: While some scholars have regarded primate vocal communication as innate, inflexible, and insensitive to the context, recent advances suggest instead that vocal behaviours can be flexible, insofar as they are affected by individual and situational factors, notably the social context. However, whether the same is true for the acquisition of communicative capacities remains largely unknown, particularly in great apes. In my thesis, I address this by examining the ontogeny of vocal behaviours in the pant hoots of immature chimpanzees (Pan troglodytes schweinfurthii) of the Budongo Forest, Uganda. Furthermore, I investigate audience effects on pant hoot sequences used during displays to determine the extent to which these vocal structures are flexibly modulated depending on the social environment. Pant hoots are a multi-phase vocal sequence typically used to maintain contact and coordinate movements between individuals and groups over long distances. The question of how this complex and flexible vocal signal develops is key for a better understanding of how chimpanzees navigate dynamic social interactions in fission-fusion societies from both an ontogenetic and a comparative perspective. Results from my thesis show that chimpanzees produced rudimentary pant hoot sequences since birth, suggesting that vocal repertoires are largely innate. However, these sequences presented some structural and acoustic differences when compared to those of older individuals, suggesting they also undergo ontogenetic changes. In addition, the vocal usage and responses to pant hoots in immature chimpanzees was enhanced by greater vocal and social exposure to key group members, such as the mother and adult males, when compared to the development of less gregarious immature individuals. Finally, social context modulated the use of pant hoot phases during vocal displays, likely enhancing the communicative capacities of a species with limited vocal production learning and relatively small vocal repertoire. Taken together, findings from my thesis suggest that the ontogeny of complex chimpanzee vocalisations is socially mediated and that chimpanzee vocal communication is flexibly adjusted depending on the social environment.

Abstract

Accurate long-term measurements of marine surface temperatures are required to understand key physical processes at the ocean-atmosphere interface and any changes that may occur to these processes over time. The Copernicus Sea and Land Surface Temperature Radiometer (SLSTR) is a multi-spectral dual-view radiometer with two on-board blackbodies and cooled detectors ensuring accurate radiometric measurements for the estimation of sea surface temperature (SST) and sea-ice surface temperature (sea-IST).

Operational retrieval of SST from satellite thermal infrared (TIR) radiances relies on a pre-processing step to identify and discard cloud-affected observations. Coastal regions offer particularly challenging regimes for cloud detection owing to an increased frequency of turbid waters modifying ocean colour and SST fronts generating sharp gradients in the TIR. Here we present new approaches for cloud detection prior to SST retrieval from SLSTR and illustrate the benefits using case studies in coastal zones covering optically bright waters and around strong ocean fronts.

The evolution also includes a new high-latitude combined SST and sea-IST product implemented at the nominal SLSTR TIR resolution (1 km) and routinely processed for SLSTR-A/B over the high latitude regions (>50° poleward in both the Northern and Southern hemispheres). Sea-IST cloud masking is provided by the EUMETSAT NWC SAF PPS cloud and cloud probability algorithms. Initial validation results indicate the sea-IST performance for SLSTR-B in particular is very good and already close to the Essential Climate Variable (ECV) goal of 1 degree Celsius. Moreover, the challenging cases of winter / night-time performance is also of good quality and not too far from daytime performance.

Pre-operational products in GHRSST L2P format will be available to users from the Copernicus WEkEO DIAS reference service for evaluation from April 2024, with operational implementation expected from Spring 2025.

description: Studies of algal growth responses to nutrient availability at the catchment scale are sparse. Here we study algal nutrient responses in headwater streams, rivers, lakes, and an estuary in a temperate coastal catchment. Nutrient enhancement bioassays were used to determine phytoplankton and periphyton growth limitation by nitrogen (N) and/or phosphorus (P) availability. In addition, we measured N and P concentrations and ratios in water. In the headwaters, algae were most often limited by N and N + P while algae further downstream became progressively less nutrient limited. Unlike other sites in the catchment, phytoplankton in a lowland headwater lake was almost always N limited, indicating that local characteristics shifted nutrient availability and limitation status towards P saturation. Nutrient limitation state could be correctly inferred from dissolved inorganic nitrogen:P ratios at only 4 of the 8 sites, highlighting the limited efficacy of nutrient ratios alone for inferring nutrient limitation status. Our results show that reduction of N and/or P concentrations to below growth-limiting thresholds could reduce algal productivity and biomass in the lower catchment, but not consistently, because nutrient limitation status varied greatly at sites within the catchment. Our study adds to the growing literature indicating that drivers of eutrophication can be spatially and temporally variable, even within a single catchment.

The Impact Of Integrated Parameters In The Manga Local Mass-Metallicity Relation

Subjects: Discs in galaxies

description: We present the surface mass density - gas metallicity ($\Sigma_*$-Z) relation for more than 500,000 spatially-resolved star-forming regions from a sample of 617 disk galaxies included in the MaNGA survey. We find a tight relation between these local properties with higher metallicities as the surface density increases, resembling a scaled-down version of the relation found previously for their integrated counterparts. This relation expands over three orders of magnitude in the surface mass and a factor of 8 in metallicity. Our large sample allows us to study the impact of global properties in this local relation. In particular, we find that for most disk galaxies the $\Sigma_*$-Z relation does not depend on the total stellar mass. Even more, for a large fraction of our sample ($\log(\mathrm{M}_*/M_{\odot})$ > 9.2) the observed metallicity gradients   are  well  reproduced  by the mass density gradients and the $\Sigma_*$-Z relation. We also find that this relation does not change significantly within the range of redshifts span by our sample. Our results suggest as the predominant scenario for metal enrichment as gas been recycled locally at shorter timescales in comparison to other global processes such as gas accretion or outflows.

Kmos-3D: The Mass Budget In Early Star-Forming Disks

Year: 2016
Subjects: Discs in galaxies

description: We exploit deep integral-field spectroscopic observations with KMOS/VLT of 240 star-forming disks at 0.6 < z < 2.6 to dynamically constrain their mass budget. Our sample consists of massive (> 10^9.8 Msun) galaxies with sizes R_e > 2 kpc. By contrasting the observed velocity and velocity dispersion profiles to dynamical models, we find that on average the stellar content contributes a third, and the total (stellar + gas) baryonic content two thirds of the dynamical mass budget. Nearly all disks at z > 2 are strongly baryon; dominated within R_e. Substantial object-to-object variations in  both stellar and baryonic mass fractions are observed, correlating most strongly with measures of surface density. Our findings can be interpreted as more extended disks probing further (and more compact disks probing less far) into the dark matter halos that host them.

description: After the sudden judgment revealed on every election night, defeated politicians and their supporters “just look for the silver lining,” in the words of the song. Sadly, as a rule few are to be found outside poetry. But last week’s state and county elections may prove the exception. Leaving aside the wounds of defeated politicians, disappointed voters of both parties may find favorable local prospects resulting from outcomes they sought to prevent.The big news, drawing national media coverage, was the GOP’s capture of a working majority in the Virginia House of Delegates. For the first time since the Civil War aftermath, Republicans will control, beginning in the year 2000, both houses of the General Assembly and the principal elected offices in the executive branch of government.
title: The Role of Self-Compassion in the Relationships Among Personality Traits, Health Behaviors, and Daily Mood

description: Two studies examined the daily and longitudinal interrelationships among personality traits, self-compassion, sleep quality, positive and negative mood, and exercise. One-hundred-three college students completed a pre-test, daily reports for 8 days, and two follow-up surveys two weeks apart. Study 1 examined trait self-compassion as a mediator of the relationship between personality traits and health behaviors and perceptions. There were significant indirect relationships through trait self-compassion, specifically from extraversion to sleep quality cross-sectionally and from extraversion and neuroticism to exercise satisfaction longitudinally. Neuroticism was negatively related to vigorous exercise longitudinally while both neuroticism and extraversion were positively related to moderate exercise cross-sectionally. Study 2 examined daily self-compassion as a moderator of the relationship between health behaviors and mood. Self-reported moderate and vigorous exercise were related to more evening positive mood. Additionally, self-reported sleep satisfaction and duration were related to more positive mood and less negative mood the next morning. Daily self-compassion was a moderator of the relationship between self-reported moderate and vigorous exercise and evening negative mood, such that individuals who were lower in their personal average of self-compassion showed the greatest mood improvements following moderate and vigorous exercise while individuals who were high in their personal average of self-compassion showed increases in negative mood as they engaged in more intense exercise. Nonetheless, individuals who were high in their personal average of self-compassion showed the lowest negative mood. The results suggest that it may be particularly helpful for college students who experience daily high negative mood and who are high on neuroticism, to increase self-compassion. Practicing daily self-compassion could help improve daily mood, and overtime, increase exercise satisfaction and improve sleep quality.
Nature’s R&D: Duplicating the Mysteries of Natural Design

If you look closely at nature, you will see a vast ocean of design solutions. Skin that changes color to blend in with the surroundings. Shells that are flexible, but provide protection from predators. Structures in wings, hair, and skin that create color by deflecting light. Small factories (also known as spiders) that spin one of the world’s lightest, but strongest, fibers. The designs, functions, and chemistries of nature offer a vast, creative universe of ideas. And somehow, these amazingly complex systems do what they need to do with little fanfare, next to no toxic effluent, and often in a way that blends seamlessly with

the surrounding environment.

description: The clinically highly relevant Clostridioides (C.) difficile releases several AB-type toxins that cause diseases such as diarrhea and pseudomembranous colitis. In addition to the main virulence factors Rho/Ras-glycosylating toxins TcdA and TcdB, hypervirulent strains produce the binary AB-type toxin CDT. CDT consists of two separate proteins. The binding/translocation B-component CDTb facilitates uptake and translocation of the enzyme A-component CDTa to the cytosol of cells. Here, CDTa ADP-ribosylates G-actin, resulting in depolymerization of the actin cytoskeleton. We previously showed that CDTb exhibits cytotoxicity in the absence of CDTa, which is most likely due to pore formation in the cytoplasmic membrane. Here, we further investigated this cytotoxic effect and showed that CDTb impairs CaCo-2 cell viability and leads to redistribution of F-actin without affecting tubulin structures. CDTb was detected at the cytoplasmic membrane in addition to its endosomal localization if CDTb was applied alone. Chloroquine and several of its derivatives, which were previously identified as toxin pore blockers, inhibited intoxication of Vero, HCT116, and CaCo-2 cells by CDTb and CDTb pores in vitro. These results further strengthen pore formation by CDTb in the cytoplasmic membrane as the underlying cytotoxic mechanism and identify pharmacological pore blockers as potent inhibitors of cytotoxicity induced by CDTb and CDTa plus CDTb.
