description: Lying at the intersection between neurobiology and epigenetics, Rett syndrome (RTT) has garnered intense interest in recent years, not only from a broad range of academic scientists, but also from the pharmaceutical and biotechnology industries. In addition to the critical need for treatments for this devastating disorder, optimism for developing RTT treatments derives from a unique convergence of factors, including a known monogenic cause, reversibility of symptoms in preclinical models, a strong clinical research infrastructure highlighted by an NIH-funded natural history study and well-established clinics with significant patient populations. Here, we review recent advances in understanding the biology of RTT, particularly promising preclinical findings, lessons from past clinical trials, and critical elements of trial design for rare disorders.

description: The techniques of microwave quantum optics are applied to collective spin excitations in a macroscopic sphere of ferromagnetic insulator. We demonstrate, in the single-magnon limit, strong coupling between a magnetostatic mode in the sphere and a microwave cavity mode. Moreover, we introduce a superconducting qubit in the cavity and couple the qubit with the magnon excitation via the virtual photon excitation. We observe the magnon-vacuum-induced Rabi splitting. The hybrid quantum system enables generation and characterization of non-classical quantum states of magnons.

Parenting and educational aims in a cross cultural perspective: how culture affects early interactions with the child
Creators: name: Bembich, Caterina

Year: 2016

description: Every culture has its own needs, its own conceptions of parenting norms, and its own modes of implementing parenting practices: cultural forces influence the way in which universally-occurring parental behaviors are expressed. Child rearing practices help to prepare an infant to adapt to a social system, and condition the course and eventual outcome of individual development. The differences in the ways in which societies both conceptualize parenting and care for their offspring can be evident from the earliest activities and interactions of parents with their infants. This review examines, in an ecological perspective, similarities and differences in early parental behaviors, by analyzing the variations that may be moderated by culture.

description: In this paper, we explore the interior dynamics of neutral and charged black holes. Scalar collapses in flat, Schwarzschild, and Reissner-Nordstrom geometries are simulated. We examine the dynamics in the vicinities of the central singularity of a Schwarzschild black hole and of the inner horizon of a Reissner-Nordstrom black hole. In simulating scalar collapses in Schwarzschild and Reissner-Nordstrom geometries, Kruskal and Kruskal-like coordinates are used, respectively, with the presence of a scalar field being taken into account. It is found that, besides near the inner horizons of Reissner-Nordstrom and Kerr black holes, mass inflation also takes place near the central singularity in neutral scalar collapse. Approximate analytic expressions for different types of mass inflation are partially obtained via a close interplay between numerical and analytical approaches and an examination of the connections between Schwarzschild black holes, Reissner-Nordstrom black holes, neutral collapse, and charge scattering. We argue that the mass inflations near the central singularity and the inner horizon are related to the localness of the dynamics in strong gravity regions. This is in accord with the Belinskii, Khalatnikov, and Lifshitz conjecture.

Transcriptional Pause Release Is a Rate-Limiting Step for Somatic Cell Reprogramming (ChIP-seq)

description: Reactivation of the pluripotency network during somatic cell reprogramming by exogenous transcription factors involves chromatin remodeling and the recruitment of RNA polymerase II (Pol II) to target loci. Here, we report that Pol II is engaged at pluripotency promoters in reprogramming but remains paused and inefficiently released. We also show that bromodomain-containing protein 4 (BRD4) stimulates productive transcriptional elongation of pluripotency genes by dissociating the pause release factor P-TEFb from an inactive complex containing HEXIM1. Consequently, BRD4 overexpression enhances reprogramming efficiency and HEXIM1 suppresses it, whereas Brd4 and Hexim1 knockdown do the opposite. We further demonstrate that the reprogramming factor KLF4 helps recruit P-TEFb to pluripotency promoters. Our work thus provides a mechanism for explaining the reactivation of pluripotency genes in reprogramming and unveils an unanticipated role for KLF4 in transcriptional pause release.Overall design: Pol II ChIP-seq for MEFs, ESCs and bulk populations of OSKM reprogramming intermediates at two time points.

description: The market economy is playing an increasingly pervasive role in our hyper-technological and globalized society, becoming, at the same time, an existential paradigm which finds its fulfillment in the relentless pursuit of individual happiness often followed through the continuous research of material assets. In this contest the elderly man is usually perceived as an anachronistic subject that is far from fashions and trends of the complex society; for this reason he is considered a deviant or a stranger in relation to the chaotic social changes. Starting from this premises, this paper analyzes, inside the complex social context, the role of the elderly man as a witness of experience and a mentor of education in the family. The old man, avoiding the collective rituals of everyday life, is emancipated from the inauthenticity of the society to ascend in the direction of the original dimension of the self. Within the family context, the old man, grandfather, can assume the role of primary educator; he can be a model of humanity and coherence able of cultivating and caring for the young.

description: Presynaptic NMDA receptors (preNMDARs) play pivotal roles in excitatory neurotransmission and synaptic plasticity. They facilitate presynaptic neurotransmitter release and modulate mechanisms controlling synaptic maturation and plasticity during formative periods of brain development. There is an increasing understanding of the roles of preNMDARs in experience-dependent synaptic and circuit-specific computation. In this review, we summarize the latest understanding of compartment-specific expression and function of preNMDARs, and how they contribute to synapse-specific and circuit-level information processing.

description: We report the discovery of a substellar companion to 2MASS J02192210-3925225, a young M6 $γ$ candidate member of the Tucana-Horologium association (30 - 40 Myr). This L4 $γ$ companion has been discovered with seeing-limited direct imaging observations; at a 4" separation (160AU) and a modest contrast ratio, it joins the very short list of young low-mass companions amenable to study without the aid of adaptive optics, enabling its characterization with a much wider suite of instruments than is possible for companions uncovered by high-contrast imaging surveys. With a model-dependent mass of 12-15MJup, it straddles the boundary between the planet and brown dwarf mass regimes. We present near-infrared spectroscopy of this companion and compare it to various similar objects uncovered in the last few years. The J0219-3925 system falls in a sparsely populated part of the host mass versus mass ratio diagram for binaries; the dearth of known similar companions may be due to observational biases in previous low-mass companion searches.

description: The Einstein equations for an isotropic and homogeneous Friedmann--Robertson--Walker Universe in the presence of a quintessence scalar field are shown to be described in a unified way, formally identical to the dynamics of a relativistic particle moving on a two--dimensional spacetime. The correct Lagrangian for the system is presented and used to construct a spinor quantum cosmology theory using Breit's prescription. The theory is supersymmetric when written in Majorana representation. The spinor components interact through a potential that unifies spacetime curvature and quintessence. An exact supersymmetric solution for $k=0$ case is exhibited. This quantum cosmology model may be interpreted as a theory of interacting universes.

description: In thermodynamics a macroscopic state of a system results from a number of its microscopic states. This number is given by the exponent of the system's entropy $\exp(S)$. In non-interacting systems with discrete energy spectra, such as large scale quantum dots, $S$ as a function of the temperature has usually a plateau shape with integer values of $\exp(S)$ on these plateaus. Plateaus with non-integer values of $\exp(S)$ are fundamentally forbidden and would be thermodynamically infeasible. Here we investigate the entropy of a non-interacting quantum dot coupled via tunneling to normal metals with continuum spectra as well as to topological superconductors. We show that the entropy may have non-integer plateaus if the topological superconductors support weakly overlapping Majorana bound states. This brings a fundamental change in the thermodynamics of the quantum dot whose specific heat $c_V$ acquires low temperature Majorana peaks which should be absent according to the conventional thermodynamics. We also provide a fundamental thermodynamic understanding of the transport properties, such as the linear conductance. In general our results show that the thermodynamics of systems coupled to Majorana modes represents a fundamental physical interest with diverse applications depending on versatility of possible coupling mechanisms.

description: A Poisson structure is represented by a bivector whose Schouten bracket vanishes. We study a global Poisson structure on $S^4$ associated with a holomorphic Poisson structure on $\mathbb{CP}^3$. The space of the Poisson structures on $S^4$ is a real algebraic variety in the space of holomorphic Poisson structures on $\mathbb{CP}^3$. We generalize it to $\mathbb{HP}^n$ by using the twistor method. Furthermore, we provide examples of Poisson structures on $S^4$ associated with codimension one holomorphic foliations of degree 2 on $\mathbb{CP}^3$.

description: The GALAH survey targets one million stars in the southern hemisphere down to a limiting magnitude of V = 14 at the Anglo- Australian Telescope. The project aims to measure up to 30 elemental abundances and radial velocities (~1 km/s accuracy) for each star at a resolution of R = 28000. These elements fall into 8 independent groups (e.g. alpha, Fe peak, r-process). For all stars, Gaia will provide distances to 1% and transverse velocities to 1 km/s or better, giving us a 14D set of parameters for each star, i.e. 6D phase space and 8D abundance space. There are many scientic applications but here we focus on the prospect of chemically tagging the thick disk and making a direct measurement of how stellar migration evolves with cosmic time.

description: Abstract Background Recruiting young adults (ages 18–35 years) into weight gain prevention intervention studies is challenging and men are particularly difficult to reach. This paper describes two studies designed to improve recruitment for a randomized trial of weight gain prevention interventions. Study 1 used a quasi-experimental design to test the effect of two types of direct mailings on their overall reach. Study 2 used a randomized design to test the effect of using targeted messages to increase recruitment of men into the trial. Methods For Study 1, 60,000 male and female young-adult households were randomly assigned to receive either a recruitment brochure or postcard. Visits to recruitment websites during each mailing period were used to assess response to each mailing. Study 2 focused on postcard recruitment only. These households received either a targeted or generic recruitment postcard, where targeted postcards included the word “Men” in the headline text. Response rates to each type of card were categorized based on participant report of mailing received. Results The reach of the postcards and brochures were similar (421 and 386 website visits, respectively; P = 0.22). Individuals who received the brochure were more likely to initiate the online screener than those who received a postcard (P = 0.01). In Study 2, of those who completed the telephone screening, 60.9 % of men (n = 23) had received the targeted postcard as compared to the generic postcard (39.1 %, P = 0.30). The reverse was true for women (n = 62, 38.7 vs. 61.3 %, P = 0.08). Conclusions These studies suggest there was little difference in the reach of postcards versus brochures. However, recipients of brochures were more likely to continue to the next stage of study participation. As expected, men’s response to the weight gain prevention messages was lower than women’s response; but using targeted messages appears to have modestly increased the proportion of male respondents. These studies add to the limited experimental literature on recruitment messaging and provide further indication for using targeted messages to reach underrepresented populations while providing initial evidence on the effect of mailing type on message reach. Trial registration The Study of Novel Approaches to Weight Gain Prevention was registered with ClinicalTrials.gov (identifier: NCT01183689) on 13 August 2010.

description: Motivated by experiments on sheared suspensions that show a transition between ordered and disordered phases, we here study the long-time behavior of a sheared and overdamped 2-d system of particles interacting by repulsive forces. As a function of interaction strength and shear rate we find transitions between phases with vanishing and large single-particle diffusion. In the phases with vanishing single-particle diffusion, the system evolves towards regular lattices, usually on very slow time scales. Different lattices can be approached, depending on interaction strength and forcing amplitude. The disordered state appears in parameter regions where the regular lattices are unstable. Correlation functions between the particles reveal the formation of shear bands. In contrast to single particle densities, the spatially resolved two-particle correlation functions vary with time and allow to determine the phase within a period. As in the case of the suspensions, motion in the state with low diffusivity is essentially reversible, whereas in the state with strong diffusion it is not.

description: When circularly polarized wave scatters off a sphere, the scattered field forms a vortex with spiraling energy flow. This is due to the transformation of spin angular momentum into orbital one. Here we demonstrate that during this scattering an anomalous force can be induced that acts in a direction perpendicular to the propagation of incident wave. The appearance of this lateral force is made possible by the presence of an interface in the vicinity of scattering object. Besides radiation pressure and tractor-beam pulling forces, this lateral force is another type of non-conservative force that can be produced with unstructured light beams.

description: I develop a framework for interpreting the forces that act on any population described by frequencies. The conservation of total frequency, or total probability, shapes the characteristics of force. I begin with Fisher's fundamental theorem of natural selection. That theorem partitions the total evolutionary change of a population into two components. The first component is the partial change caused by the direct force of natural selection, holding constant all aspects of the environment. The second component is the partial change caused by the changing environment. I demonstrate that Fisher's partition of total change into the direct force of selection and the forces from the changing environmental frame of reference is identical to d'Alembert's principle of mechanics, which separates the work done by the direct forces from the work done by the inertial forces associated with the changing frame of reference. In d'Alembert's principle, there exist inertial forces from a change in the frame of reference that exactly balance the direct forces. I show that the conservation of total probability strongly shapes the form of the balance between the direct and inertial forces. I then use the strong results for conserved probability to obtain general results for the change in any system quantity, such as biological fitness or energy. Those general results derive from simple coordinate changes between frequencies and system quantities. Ultimately, d'Alembert's separation of direct and inertial forces provides deep conceptual insight into the interpretation of forces and the unification of disparate fields of study.

description: Optically-induced nuclear spin polarization in a fluorine-doped ZnSe epilayer is studied by time-resolved Kerr rotation using resonant excitation of donor-bound excitons. Excitation with helicity-modulated laser pulses results in a transverse nuclear spin polarization, which is detected as a change of the Larmor precession frequency of the donor-bound electron spins. The frequency shift in dependence on the transverse magnetic field exhibits a pronounced dispersion-like shape with resonances at the fields of nuclear magnetic resonance of the constituent zinc and selenium isotopes. It is studied as a function of external parameters, particularly of constant and radio frequency external magnetic fields. The width of the resonance and its shape indicate a strong spatial inhomogeneity of the nuclear spin polarization in the vicinity of a fluorine donor. A mechanism of optically-induced nuclear spin polarization is suggested based on the concept of resonant nuclear spin cooling driven by the inhomogeneous Knight field of the donor-bound electron.

description: A sunflower association panel was evaluated and 64 genotypes with specific growth types were selected. Results of performance tests showed hybrid candidates that can deliver a higher yield by growing with increased plant density. Segregation analyses for the trait "plant height" indicate that it is under monogenic control. 22 candidate genes were sequenced and SNPs were identified. Association studies revealed significantly associated SNPs. Two SNPs in the HaGID1B gene could be verified and thus be regarded as potential molecular markers for plant architecture.

description: The fire and crime incident datasets were requested and collected from two Philippine regional agencies (i.e., the Bureau of Fire Protection and the Philippine National Police). The datasets were used to initially analyze and map both fire and crime incidents within the province of Pampanga for a specific time frame. Several data preparation, normalization, and data cleaning steps were implemented to properly map and identify patterns within the datasets. The initial results also indicate the leading causes of fire and crimes are rubbish and acts against property. Fires mostly occur during the dry season in the province. Crime is particularly high during December, and most of the fire and crime incidents occur during the time when people are most active. The dataset was able to present the temporal characteristics of the fire and crime incidents that occurred in the province of Pampanga. Merge the existing dataset with the other datasets from other related agencies to get a bigger picture and produce more objective results that could be used for decision-making.

In this paper, we briefly describe some attempts made in the literature to relieve the tension, and show that the tension can naturally be alleviated in non-flat $Λ$CDM model with positive curvature. We also perform the observational consistency check by considering the constraints on the non-flat $Λ$CDM model from Planck,WP and BAO data. We find that the non-flat $Λ$CDM model constrained with Planck+WP data fits better to the line of sight measurement $H(z=2.34)=222\pm7$ km/s/Mpc, but only at the expense of still having a poor fit to the BAO transverse measurements.

title: How does an individual's culture trigger barriers of communication in a diverse environment? The case of a European Enforcement Network; An Action Research Inquiry
Creators: name: Leyshon, Cari
Publisher: name: University of Liverpool Repository
Year: 2020

description: The following qualitative case study explores how the role of culture within the individual schema impacts barriers of communication with a group of diverse stakeholders for a European enforcement network. Utilizing both appreciative and cooperative inquiry while collecting multiple diverse perspectives with an online pretest survey, in-depth interviews, an online focus group, meeting facilitation and participant observation. Using four action research cycles to gain collective input to expose how the role of culture impacts participant’s personal biases, stereotypes and judgments that are potentially contributing to barriers of diverse communication. The collective data informs the implementation of actionable strategies to confront barriers such as language, lack of trust, conflict, and unacknowledged schemas that disrupt multicultural communication. This study validates the importance of individual acknowledgment of how culture influences their schema before diverse communication can be improved for collaboration to occur. The key findings further indicate how it is possible to change existing beliefs, stereotypes and biases by acknowledging first what they are within a trusting environment. A focus on the individual’s unique schema overcomes the complexities of stakeholders’ multiple cultural identities to realize collaborative action. Actionable knowledge is generated by collective stakeholders’ perspectives to generate a new European business initiative. Sustainable change occurs by placing the impact of culture at the heart of inquiry when conducting a diverse stakeholder analysis combined with a collective leadership approach. In conclusion, culture does impact stakeholders’ perceptions of reality, making change more effective at an individual level first, to confront the barriers of diverse communication in the case of this European enforcement network.

In simulation experiments, an anthropogenic (naphthalene) or biogenic (β-pinene) VOC precursor was aged together with a primary aerosol and comprehensively physical and chemical characterized. Using different in vitro airway model systems [BEAS-2B, A549 and a coculture of A549/EA.hy926] in an automated air-liquid interface exposure system, the cellular effects triggered by the aerosols were tested by evaluating the genomic, metabolomic and functional changes.

description: This study examines how social marketing for Voluntary Medical Male Circumcision (VMMC) for HIV prevention in Zimbabwe can be improved using the notion of ‘emergence’. The research context is that of a community exposed to VMMC promotional campaigns aimed at increasing the uptake of VMMC services. Promotional strategies were developed by contracted partners and overseen by the government formed VMMC Technical Working Group (TWG). The national strategy aimed for 80% take-up for males aged between 10 and 29 by 2015, but by 2016, only 16% of the target population had been circumcised, mainly the school-going populations. The challenges cited for missing the objectives included low levels of mobilisation in the community, motivation and absence of facilitators in all contexts (NAC, 2017; George et al., 2014; Hankins, Forsyth and Njeuhmeli, 2011). In my scholar-practitioner role, I engaged as a strategic information adviser in the organisation that advises and supports the government to identify evidence for effective strategic interventions. I engaged with the research by examining how to develop sustainable VMMC promotion and uptake using Social Marketing, informed by theoretical perspectives and practice of social marketing design. I began by looking into the multiplicity of concepts in the expansive field of promotional campaigns for social marketing. I distilled the theory into two units of analysis; the reductionist approach and complexity system. The research commences with the examination of the already enacted promotion and proceeds through action research cycles. The objectives are (1) to bring about change and make organisational VMMC promotion design sustainable - informed by 'emergence' in Complex Adaptive System and the Cynefin framework, (2) to understand and articulate how VMMC promotion is being enacted within the selected context, how it has affected belief systems and the consequences of would be recipients' actions, (3) to identify how the communication content of, and medium VMMC for, promotion can be altered to accommodate complex reactions within the context, and (4) to generate actionable knowledge that is relevant for academic and practitioner communities. I worked with a VMMC technical working group consisting of 6-19 co-researchers, through three action research cycles enacted to implement change process (above), and explore the espoused theories and theory-in-use, which underpin social marketing practice whereby implicit contextual dynamics concepts are made explicit. The proposed actionable knowledge is a reconceptualised promotional design and practice for the organisation to consider. I conclude the research with a reflection of my changed view in designing promotional campaigns.

description: OBJECTIVES: Evaluation of a novel index case finding and linkage-to-care programme to identify and link HIV-infected children (1-15 years) and young persons (>15-24 years) to care.

METHODS: HIV-infected patients enrolled in HIV services were screened and those who reported untested household members (index cases) were offered home- or facility-based HIV testing and counselling (HTC) of their household by a community health worker (CHW). HIV-infected household members identified were enrolled in a follow-up programme offering home and facility-based follow-up by CHWs.

RESULTS: Of the 1567 patients enrolled in HIV services, 1030 (65.7%) were screened and 461 (44.8%) identified as index cases; 93.5% consented to HIV testing of their households and of those, 279 (64.7%) reported an untested child or young person. CHWs tested 711 children and young persons, newly diagnosed 28 HIV-infected persons (yield 4.0%; 95% CI: 2.7-5.6), and identified an additional two HIV-infected persons not enrolled in care. Of the 30 HIV-infected persons identified, 23 (76.6%) were linked to HIV services; 18 of the 20 eligible for ART (90.0%) were initiated. Median time (IQR) from identification to enrolment into HIV services was 4 days (1-8) and from identification to ART start was 6 days (1-8).

CONCLUSIONS: Almost half of HIV-infected patients enrolled in treatment services had untested household members, many of whom were children and young persons. Index case finding, coupled with home-based testing and tracked follow-up, is acceptable, feasible and facilitates the identification and timely linkage to care of HIV-infected children and young persons.

Bose and Mott Glass Phases in Dimerized Quantum Antiferromagnets

description: We examine the effects of disorder on dimerized quantum antiferromagnets in a magnetic field, using the mapping to a lattice gas of hard-core bosons with finite-range interactions. Combining a strong-coupling expansion, the replica method, and a one-loop renormalization group analysis, we investigate the nature of the glass phases formed. We find that away from the tips of the Mott lobes, the transition is from a Mott insulator to a compressible Bose glass, however the compressibility at the tips is strongly suppressed. We identify this finding with the presence of a rare Mott glass phase not previously described by any analytic theory for this model and demonstrate that the inclusion of replica symmetry breaking is vital to correctly describe the glassy phases. This result suggests that the formation of Bose and Mott glass phases is not simply a weak localization phenomenon but is indicative of much richer physics. We discuss our results in the context of both ultracold atomic gases and spin-dimer materials.

description: Support for mothers in their child rearing is one of the major actual family policies realized in Japan today. Over 6000 meeting places were created and became popular among mothers and children. This study aims to highlight the function of mothers’ support provided by meeting places and the role of their professionals, by analyzing interviews to professionals carried out at 17 meeting places. The results are presented in two parts. First, the process of support and the main features of professionals’ work in meeting places are described. Then, the support provided to mothers with specific difficulties, such as psychological anxiety, family life problems, or isolation in the community, are analyzed. We conclude that the warm and convivial setting of the place helps mothers to feel relieved and express themselves easily. Individual support by professionals is efficient on this basis. Meeting place can be useful for mothers in difficulties as the first step of asking for help.

description: The article presents the results of a qualitative research focused on the testimony of 52 young internationally adopted by Italian families, gathered through interviews in 2000 and 2011. Young people from non-European countries, arrived in Italy aged three months to 14 years. At the time of the interviews, they were between 18 and 34 years, with most between 19 and 23 years. They lived with their families, were enrolled in high school, in college, already working or combining work and study. Of these young people, characterized by social and family integration favourable, here, we take into account the point of view of the discontinuity of their life course, the importance of memories of life before the adoption, education received in the family.
