description: Chercheurs, politiques et autres acteurs sociaux se préoccupent des avantages et risques, donc de l’avenir réglementaire, de diverses techniques regroupées sous le titre de « nouvelles techniques de modifications dugénome ». Qu’ont donc à voir ensemble, par exemple, le greffage et l’édition du génome par les systèmes TALEN ou CRISPR ou la biologie de synthèse ? Ces nouveaux OGM et leur impact diffèrent-ils tant de ceux obtenus par transgénèse ? Présument-ils d’un progrès dans les relations entre l’agriculture et la nature avec un impact positif sur la biodiversité et les services écosystémiques ?

description: Objective. The purpose of the article is to study the problems of implementing IT technologies in university libraries of Ukraine in the context of foreign experience. The article examines the retrospective of development of library information systems, their effectiveness and problematic issues related to the transition of library staff to work with them. Methods. When writing the article, the review, comparative, and historical methods were used to summarize the research on the development of library information systems and to choose a sufficiently effective and convenient system among ILS (Integrated Library System), LSP (Library Service Platform), LMS (Library Management System) or LIMS (Library Information Management System) for domestic university libraries. Results. The article provides a periodization of the development of library systems from 1931 till 2022. Problematic issues for Ukrainian university libraries related to the replacement of software tools with modern software products are identified. Specialists of higher education libraries are suggested to use the web-resource “Library Technology Guides” to select the latest innovative automated library systems with their subsequent configuration. Conclusions. As a result, the ILS Koha is proposed as more adapted system in terms of financial costs and possibility of its further maintenance by existing specialists.

description: Purpose of the study: Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) is a progressive disease with a poor prognosis. As the efficacy of currently available antifibrotics is limited, development of new therapies is warranted. Transforming growth factor (TGF)-β plays a central role in the pathogenesis of IPF through mechanisms such as promoting the production of extracellular matrix by fibroblasts. Conversely, bone morphogenetic proteins (BMPs) are known to be antifibrotic and may counterbalance TGF-β signaling via BMP receptor type 2 (BMPR2). However, little is known about the expression status of BMPR2 and its function in pulmonary fibrosis, and manipulation of BMPR2 expression has never been attempted. In this study, we aimed at evaluating the effectiveness of BMPR2 upregulation for modulating the imbalance of the TGF-β/BMP axis and reduce the profibrotic changes in lung fibroblasts. We investigated BMPR2 expression in pulmonary fibrosis and TGF-β/BMP signaling in lung fibroblasts. Then we evaluated the impact of BMPR2 upregulation using adenoviral transduction on TGF-β-induced Smad2/3 phosphorylation and fibronectin production in lung fibroblasts. BMPR2 was distributed in airway epithelium and alveolar walls in rat lungs. BMPR2 expression was decreased in fibrotic lesions in the lungs of rats with bleomycin-induced pulmonary fibrosis and in human lung fibroblasts (HLFs) stimulated with TGF-β. Although Smad2/3 phosphorylation and fibronectin production were not suppressed solely by BMPs, phosphorylated Smad2/3 was decreased in BMPR2-transduced cells even without BMP stimulation. Fibronectin was decreased only when BMPR2-transduced HLFs were stimulated with BMP7 (but not BMP4). Similar results were also observed in IPF patient HLFs and rat lung fibroblasts. BMPR2 expression was reduced in fibrotic lungs and lung fibroblasts stimulated with TGF-β. BMPR2 transduction to lung fibroblasts reduced Smad2/3 phosphorylation, and reduced fibronectin production when treated with BMP7. Upregulation of BMPR2 may be a possible strategy for treating pulmonary fibrosis.

description: We report results from a search for Galactic high-mass eclipsing binaries. The photometric monitoring campaign was performed in Sloan $r$ and $i$ with the robotic twin refractor RoBoTT at the Universitätssternwarte Bochum in Chile and complemented by Johnson $UBV$ data. Comparison with the SIMBAD database reveals 260 variable high-mass stars. Based on well-sampled light curves we discovered 35 new eclipsing high-mass systems and confirm the properties of six previously known systems. For all objects, we provide the first light curves and determine orbital periods through the Lafler-Kinman algorithm. Apart from GSC 08173-0018 and Pismis 24-13 ($P = 19.47\,d$ and $20.14\,d$) and the exceptional short-period system TYC 6561-1765-1 ($P = 0.71\,d$), all systems have orbital periods between 1 and 9 days. We model the light curves of 26 systems within the framework of the Roche geometry and calculate fundamental parameters for each system component. The Roche lobe analysis indicates that 14 systems have a detached geometry while 12 systems have a semi-detached geometry; seven of them are near-contact systems. The deduced mass ratios $q = M_2/M_1$ reach from 0.4 to 1.0 with an average value of 0.8. The similarity of masses suggests that these high-mass binaries were created during the star formation process rather than by tidal capture.

description: An aperiodic (low frequency) spectrum may originate from the error term in the mean value of an arithmetical function such as Möbius function or Mangoldt function, which are coding sequences for prime numbers. In the discrete Fourier transform the analyzing wave is periodic and not well suited to represent the low frequency regime. In place we introduce a new signal processing tool based on the Ramanujan sums c_q(n), well adapted to the analysis of arithmetical sequences with many resonances p/q. The sums are quasi-periodic versus the time n of the resonance and aperiodic versus the order q of the resonance. New results arise from the use of this Ramanujan-Fourier transform (RFT) in the context of arithmetical and experimental signals

description: Despite research indicating that sleep disorders influence reproductive health, the effects of sleep on reproductive hormone concentrations are poorly characterized. We prospectively followed 259 regularly menstruating women across one to two menstrual cycles (the BioCycle Study, 2005–2007), measuring fasting serum hormone concentrations up to eight times per cycle. Women provided information about daily sleep in diaries and chronotype and night/shift work on a baseline questionnaire. We evaluated percent differences in mean hormone concentrations, the magnitude of shifts in the timing and amplitude of hormone peaks, and the risk for sporadic anovulation associated with self-reported sleep patterns and night/shift work. We estimated chronotype scores – categorizing women below and above the interquartile range (IQR) as “morning” and “evening” chronotypes, respectively. For every hour increase in daily sleep duration, mean estradiol concentrations increased by 3.9% (95% confidence interval [CI] 2.0, 5.9%) and luteal phase progesterone by 9.4% (CI 4.0, 15.2%). Receiving less than 7 hours of sleep per day was associated with slightly earlier rises in peak levels for several hormones. Women reporting night/shift work (n = 77) had lower testosterone relative to women employed without night/shift work (percent difference: −9.9%, CI −18.4, −0.4%). Women with morning chronotypes (n = 47) had earlier rises in estradiol during their cycles and potentially an earlier rise in luteinizing hormone. Compared to those who had intermediate chronotypes, women with evening chronotypes (n = 42) had a later luteinizing hormone peak of borderline statistical significance. A reduced risk for sporadic anovulation was suggested, but imprecise, for increasing hours of daily sleep leading up to ovulation (risk ratio 0.79, CI 0.59, 1.06), while an imprecise increased risk was observed for women with morning chronotypes (risk ratio 2.50, CI 0.93, 6.77). Sleep-related hormonal changes may not greatly alter ovarian function in healthy women, but have the potential to influence gynecologic health.

description: We present a systematic study of gas density perturbations in cool cores of high-mass galaxy clusters. We select 12 relaxed clusters from the Cluster Lensing And Supernova survey with Hubble (CLASH) sample and analyze their cool core features observed with the Chandra X-ray Observatory. We focus on the X-ray residual image characteristics after subtracting their global profile of the X-ray surface brightness distribution. We find that all the galaxy clusters in our sample have, at least, both one positive and one negative excess regions in the X-ray residual image, indicating the presence of gas density perturbations. We identify and characterize the locally perturbed regions using our detection algorithm, and extract X-ray spectra of the intracluster medium (ICM). The ICM temperature in the positive excess region is lower than that in the negative excess region, whereas the ICM in both regions is in pressure equilibrium in a systematic manner. These results indicate that gas sloshing in cool cores takes place in more than 80% of relaxed clusters (95% CL). We confirm this physical picture by analyzing synthetic X-ray observations of a cool-core cluster from a hydrodynamic simulation, finding that our detection algorithm can accurately extract both the positive and negative excess regions and can reproduce the temperature difference between them. Our findings support the picture that the gas density perturbations are induced by gas sloshing, and a large fraction of cool-core clusters have undergone gas sloshing, indicating that gas sloshing may be capable of suppressing runaway cooling of the ICM.

description: Die vorliegende Arbeit beschäftigt sich mit der Diversifizierung von konventionellen Marktfruchtbetrieben im Weinviertel. Hintergrund sind generelle, aber auch gerade in dieser Region verstärkt wirksame problematische Entwicklungen, welche die Wirtschaftlichkeit derartiger Betriebe bedrohen. Ziel der Arbeit ist es zu ermitteln, welche Möglichkeiten den LandwirtInnen im Bereich der Diversifizierung zur Verfügung stehen und welche Chancen und Risiken damit verbunden sind. Weiters wird auf Erfolgs- und Hemmfaktoren Bezug genommen, welche den Einstieg in die jeweilige Diversifizierungsstrategie unterstützen bzw. erschweren können. Die Ergebnisse der Literaturforschung zeigen, dass es drei Bereiche gibt, welche für LandwirtInnen im Hinblick auf Diversifizierungsbestrebungen signifikante Relevanz aufweisen. Dabei handelt es sich um die Direktvermarktung, den Bereich Urlaub am Bauernhof sowie Green Care. Weiters wird im Rahmen des theoretischen Teils auf die Trendforschung eingegangen, wobei insbesondere Sinus-Milieus, Preisgestaltung sowie dem Nachhaltigkeitsaspekte im Fokus der Betrachtung stehen. Der empirische Teil der Arbeit beschäftigt sich mit den Chancen und Risiken, welche LandwirtInnen hinsichtlich der Diversifizierung sehen und beruht auf leitfadengestützten ExpertInneninterviews sowie einer inhaltlich-strukturierenden Inhaltsanalyse nach Kuckartz. Als Chancen werden vor allem wirtschaftliche Aspekte, wie etwa die Steigerung des Einkommens und eine erhöhte Stabilität bzw. Sicherheit, etwa durch Risikostreuung, wahrgenommen. Mögliche Risiken werden vor allem in der Tauglichkeit des Standorts, der Konkurrenzfähigkeit gegenüber dem Einzelhandel sowie den Belastungen durch hohe Investitionssummen verortet. Als Hauptfaktoren, die dem Einstieg in eine Diversifizierungsstrategie entgegenstehen, gelten die mangelnde persönliche Eignung, der Wunsch am aktuellen Kerngeschäft festzuhalten sowie eine generelle Risikoaversion.

description: We found that 10 metal-poor globular clusters are greately distinguished for anomalously small masses on the "destruction rate--mass" plain. As it turned out, these poor clusters, situated 15 kpc farther from the Galactic centre, are somewhat younger than the bulk of the metal-poor globulars, and have anomalously red horizontal branches. All these clusters are supposed to belong to the "young halo" subsystem, i.e. they are supposed to have been captured by the Galaxy at different stages of their evolution. We discovered a significant correlation between the ages found from isochrones and masses of globulars which lie at galactocentric distances greater than the radius of the solar orbit. At the same time, deficiency of distant massive clusters is noticeable with increasing distance from the galactic centre. So we see unticorrelation between the galactocentric distance and masses of distant clusters. Both relations are negligible for the inner clusters of the Galaxy. We assume that favourable conditions for violent dissipation with considerable loss of mass are realised inside the protoglobulars which formed far from the Galactic centre.

Aus einer biopolitischen Perspektive werden die materiellen Lebensbedingungen ländlicher Frauen* nach der Agrarliberalisierung untersucht und es wird beleuchtet, wie Nutrionismus auf Subjektivitäten und Körper(lichkeiten) von gebärfähigen, schwangeren und stillenden Frauen* in postkolonialen Ländern zugreift. Mit einer kritischen Haltung gegenüber technologischen Lösungen für Mangelernährung zeigt die empirische Studie der Bewegung Food Sovereignty Alliance India (FSA), dass die beteiligten Frauen*, Dalit- und Adivasigruppen über lokale nahrhafte Ernährungsgrundlagen verfügen und sozial gerechte Zugänge zu Gemeinschaftsressourcen sowie die Einbeziehung des Ernährungswissens von ländlichen Frauen* für Gesundheit und nachhaltige Landwirtschaft fordern. Abschließend wird diskutiert, wie feministisch-entwicklungspolitische Kritiken an Machtverhältnissen in Haushalt und Familie die Forschungen und politischen Ziele von FSA erweitern und zu einer umfassenden Demokratisierung von Nahrungspolitiken beitragen können.

For the first time, we give a complete analytical result for the deformation induced change in Casimir energy δ\cal E in an experimentally testable, nontrivial geometry, consisting of a flat and a corrugated plate. Our results show an interesting crossover for δ\cal E as a function of the ratio of the mean plate distance H, to the corrugation length λ: For λ\ll H we find a {\em slower} decay \sim H^{-4}, compared to the H^{-5} behavior predicted by the commonly used pairwise summation of van der Waals forces, which is valid only for λ\gg H.

description: Durch bereits absehbare Veränderungen am Arbeitsmarkt sind Unternehmen gezwungen, sich gezielt mit geeigneten Maßnahmen zur Steigerung des Bindungswillens von MitarbeiterInnen auseinanderzusetzten. Ein Grund dafür ist der demografische Wandel und die damit zusammenhängende Veränderung der Altersstruktur in der Gesellschaft. Des Weiteren trägt der prognostizierte Fachkräftemangel, der Wertewandel der jüngeren Generation und die damit zusammenhängende sinkende Loyalität sowie geringe Bereitschaft, sich langfristig an ein Unternehmen zubinden, zu den Schwierigkeiten in Bezug auf die Arbeitskräftebeschaffung bei. Darüber hinaus entstehen durch eine geringe Mitarbeiterbindung für Unternehmen Risiken, die sich negativ auf den Unternehmenserfolg, die aufgebauten Strukturen, die Einsatzbereitschaft, Motivation sowie Leistung der MitarbeiterInnen auswirken. Um diesen negativen Faktoren entgegenzuwirken und somit eine hohe Mitarbeiterbindung zu erreichen, gibt es in der Forschung bereits Lösungsansätze. Einer dieser Ansätze baut auf die Forschungen von Goleman zum Konzept der emotionalen Intelligenz auf. Die vorliegende Masterarbeit erforscht den Einfluss der emotionalen Intelligenz einer Führungskraft auf die Mitarbeiterbindung in der steirischen Bestattungsbranche. Im Theorieteil wird der Einfluss der Führungskraft auf die Mitarbeiterbindung untersucht, wobei im Speziellen auf die Bereiche Unternehmenskultur, Führung, Anreizsysteme, Arbeitsinhalte sowie Arbeitsbedingungen eingegangen wird. Außerdem wird das theoretische Konzept der emotionalen Intelligenz und die damit zusammenhängenden emotionalen Kompetenzen auf die Mitarbeiterbindung angewandt. In der Empirie dieser Arbeit werden mittels qualitativer ExpertInneninterviews Handlungen seitens der Führungskraft in Bezug auf die Mitarbeiterbindung sowie auf die Bestattungsbrache zukommenden Herausforderungen erforscht. Die Untersuchungen zeigen, dass Führungskräfte in der steirischen Bestattungsbranche Kompetenzen der emotionalen Intelligenz anwenden, um Maßnahmen der Mitarbeiterbindung gezielt auf die individuellen Bedürfnisse der MitarbeiterInnen abzustimmen. Des Weiteren ergab die Auswertung, dass die bewusste Selbstreflektion sowie die Kontrolle von eigenen Gefühlen und dem eigenen Verhalten sich stark auf die Authentizität der Führungskraft auswirkt. Die beiden vorab erwähnten Faktoren werden als Grundlage für die erhöhte Wirksamkeit von Bindungsmaßnahmen angesehen.

description: Objectives: The Atopic Dermatitis Control Tool (ADCT) was designed to evaluate patient-perceived AD control and facilitate patient–physician discussion on long-term disease control. Methods: The study was performed in adult patients with AD. Development of the ADCT followed US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) guidelines on patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs). Qualitative research, including targeted literature review, interviews with clinical experts, and combined concept elicitation/cognitive debriefing with patients with AD, was conducted to provide a list of comprehensive concepts capturing AD control per physician and patient perspectives. Quantitative methods assessed psychometric properties of the instrument and defined the threshold for AD control. Results: The resulting pilot six-item ADCT, reflecting key concepts related to AD control, had 7-day recall and assessed symptoms and impacts on patients’ everyday lives by severity and/or frequency. The ADCT showed good content validity (well understood by adult patients with AD), and quick completion time (<2 min). Psychometric analysis indicated no floor/ceiling effects for response distributions, particularly strong (r ≥ 0.80) inter-item correlations for the six ADCT items, robust construct validity (r > 0.50), and item-level discriminating ability (p 0.80). A score ≥7 points was identified as an optimum threshold to identify patients whose AD is “not in control.” Conclusions: No single validated instrument has been available to holistically evaluate patient-perceived AD control. The newly developed ADCT displays good-to-excellent content validity, construct validity, internal consistency, reliability, and discriminating ability.

description: Understanding and controlling the electronic structure of thin layers of quantum materials is a crucial first step towards designing heterostructures where new phases and phenomena, including the metal-insulator transition (MIT), emerge. Here, we demonstrate control of the MIT via tuning electronic bandwidth and local site environment through selection of the number of atomic layers deposited. We take CaVO3, a correlated metal in its bulk form that has only a single electron in its V4+ 3d manifold, as a representative example. We find that thick films and ultrathin films (6 unit cells, uc, and below) are metallic and insulating, respectively, while a 10 uc CaVO3 film exhibits a clear thermal MIT. Our combined X-ray absorption spectroscopy and resonant inelastic x-ray scattering (RIXS) study reveals that the thickness-induced MIT is triggered by electronic bandwidth reduction and local moment formation from V3+ ions, that are both a consequence of the thickness confinement. The thermal MIT in our 10 uc CaVO3 film exhibits similar changes in the RIXS response to that of the thickness-induced MIT in terms of reduction of bandwidth and V 3d - O 2p hybridization.

description: We propose a device which implements a solid-state nanostructured electron entangler. It consists of a single-walled carbon nanotube connected at both end to normal state electrodes and coupled in its middle part to a superconducting nanowire. Such a device acts as an electronic beam splitter for correlated electrons originating from the superconductor. We first show that it can be used to detect positive (bosonic--like) noise correlations in an fermionic system. Furthermore, it provides a source for entangled electrons in the two arms of the splitter. For generating entangled electron states, we propose two kinds of setup based either on spin or energy filters. It respectively consists of ferromagnetic pads and of a system of electrostatic gates which define quantum dots. The fabrication of this device would require state-of-the-art nanofabrication techniques, carbon nanotube synthesis and integration, as well as atomic force microscopy imaging and manipulation.

description: The influence of lattice strain and Mg vacancies on the superconducting properties of MgB2 samples has been investigated. High quality samples with sharp superconducting transitions were synthesized. The variation in lattice strain and Mg vacancy concentrations were obtained by varying the synthesis conditions. It was found that high strain (~1%) and the presence of Mg vacancies (~ 5 %) resulted in lowering the Tc by only 2 K.

description: The analysis of the wavelength-dependent albedo of exoplanets represents a direct way to provide insight of their atmospheric composition and to constrain theoretical planetary atmosphere modelling. Wavelength-dependent albedo can be inferred from the exoplanet's reflected light of the host star, but this is not a trivial task. In fact, the planetary signal may be several orders of magnitude lower ($10^{-4}$ or below) than the flux of the host star, thus making its extraction very challenging. Successful detection of the planetary signature of 51~Peg\,b has been recently obtained by using cross-correlation function (CCF) or autocorrelation function (ACF) techniques. In this paper we present an alternative method based on the use of Independent Component Analysis (ICA). In comparison to the above-mentioned techniques, the main advantages of ICA are that the extraction is \textit{"blind"} i.e. it does not require any \textit{a priori} knowledge of the underlying signals, and that our method allows us not only to detect the planet signal but also to estimate its wavelength dependence. To show and quantify the effectiveness of our method we successfully applied it to both simulated data and real data of an eclipsing binary star system. Eventually, when applied to real 51~Peg~+~51~Peg\,b data, our method extracts the signal of 51~Peg but we could not soundly detect the reflected spectrum of 51~Peg\,b mainly due to the insufficient $SNR$ of the input composite spectra. Nevertheless, our results show that with "ad-hoc" scheduled observations an ICA approach will be, in perspective, a very valid tool for studying exoplanetary atmospheres.

description: This study concerns the political, economic and socio-psychological conditions for marketing and supply cooperatives in Russian agriculture. An analysis of secondary data indicates that neither political nor economic conditions inhibit the development of cooperatives. Therefore, the focus is directed towards the socio-psychological factors. The aim of the study is to empirically explore the extent to which socio-psychological factors explain the difficulties for agricultural cooperative development within the Kurgan region of the Russian Federation. Based on literature concerning cooperative members’ attitudes, values, commitment and similar variables, four hypotheses are suggested. These are tested empirically on the basis of data from a total of 927 agricultural producers, both members and nonmembers of existing cooperatives. The findings reveal that especially the level of trust in others is crucial. Furthermore, the involvement is low among nonmembers, their attitudes to cooperatives are poor, and their belief and experience in democratic governance are weak.
Planar Dirac fermions in long-range-correlated random vector potential

description: We study the behavior of two-dimensional Dirac fermions in the presence of a static long-range-correlated random vector potential. By applying an exact path integral representation for the propagator of a spinor particle we obtain asymptotics of the gauge invariant spectral function and the correlation function of the local density of states, both in the ballistic regime of sufficiently high energies. We also discuss localization properties of the random Dirac wave functions in the complementary zero energy limit and the putative localization scenario.

description: We have studied beating mouse cardiac syncytia $\textit{in vitro}$ in order to assess the inotropic, ergotropic, and chronotropic effects of both increasing and decreasing hydrostatic pressures. In particular, we have performed an image processing analysis to evaluate the kinematics and the dynamics of those pressure-loaded beating syncytia starting from the video registration of their contraction movement. By this analysis, we have verified the Frank-Starling law of the heart in $\textit{in vitro}$ beating cardiac syncytia and we have obtained their geometrical-functional classification.

description: Using a 2-1/2-dimensional particle-in-cell (PIC) code to simulate the relativistic expansion of a magnetized collisionless plasma into a vacuum, we report a new mechanism in which the magnetic energy is efficiently converted into the directed kinetic energy of a small fraction of surface particles. We study this mechanism for both electron-positron and electron-ion (mi/me=100, me is the electron rest mass) plasmas. For the electron-positron case the pairs can be accelerated to ultra-relativistic energies. For electron-ion plasmas most of the energy gain goes to the ions.

The Fools’ Goldrush: Forgotten aspects of the Alum & Copperas industry in Dorset and South-West Hampshire, c.1450-1618

description: A reappraisal of primary sources suggests that the copperas industry in Dorset and south-west Hampshire became well-established somewhat earlier than is commonly thought, and continued later and with steadier success than is generally appreciated. While there are lengthy accounts of the history of the Dorset works and good ones of copperas production more generally, writers have historically tended to dwell on the spectacular financial losses of two particular rival courtly speculators, and have failed to note the geographical limits of the evidence arising from their disputes. Recent investigations have focussed on interesting but necessarily localised archaeological evidence, and have in some cases relied on auto-affirming circular arguments from secondary sources. Incorrect dating of primary sources, particularly among the State Papers, although usually noted to be approximate, appears to have seriously impeded the chronological analysis of the industry, while in one instance acceptance of a partisan contemporary source has exaggerated threefold the claimed value of the industry at one point in time, hinting mistakenly at a volatility simply not evident in other sources.
This article relates evidence that so-called ‘alum’ was collected and, more significantly, manufactured on the Hampshire coast in the fifteenth century, demonstrates early problems with the emerging system of monopolies, and identifies the locations of three copperas manufactories established in the district before 1565. The invaluable evidence collected from the Exchequer Port Books was greatly facilitated by a new document digitisation and transcription project.
