description: Objectives: Increasingly, scientists are looking toward Alzheimer’s disease (AD) risk factors such as oxidative stress, impaired immune response and hyperglycaemia/diabetes to identify preventative and therapeutic strategies. However, a link between these risk factors has yet to be identified. This study set out to define the protein glycation profile of human brain with the aim to identify AD-specific glucose modifications.
 Methodology: We developed an electrophoresis-based method that enables the visualisation of early glycation adducts by exploiting the reversible covalent interaction between fluorescent boronic acid and the cis-diol of the fructosamine-protein adduct in glycated proteins [1-4].
 Results: By applying this FluPAGE technology we have been able to: 1) identify a profile of hitherto undetectable early glycation adducts in human brains that precede the formation of the advanced glycation end-products associated with AD pathology. 2) identify an oxidised variant of glucose-modified macrophage migration inhibitory factor (MIF) in both early and late stage AD brains. 3) show that these modifications can develop within a matter of days in vitro and affect MIF activity and degradation.
 Conclusion: Our findings implicate glucose-modified and oxidised MIF as a molecular link between hyperglycaemia, oxidative stress and dysregulation of the innate immune system in AD.

description: En France, la place de l’enseignement de la langue créole reste équivoque. Des liens historiques, sociolinguistiques et culturels litigieux entre la France et la Guadeloupe dévoilent des conditions inégales qui perdurent dans notre ère contemporaine. Ce mémoire se focalise sur les enjeux qui s’opèrent dans l’enseignement bilingue créole-français dès le niveau de la maternelle en Guadeloupe. Il propose des pistes méthodologiques qui avancent les avantages de l’enseignement de la culture créole en contextes scolaire et extracurriculaire. Une étude de terrain permet d’avancer comment la langue, la musique, la danse, les jeux d’antan, le chant et les contes créoles contribuent à la régénération linguistique, l’épanouissement intellectuel et identitaire, ainsi qu’à la réduction de l’échec scolaire des jeunes apprenants. Ces gains nécessitent, comme le présente ce mémoire, un meilleur accompagnement des professionnels de l’Éducation nationale, des formations mieux adaptées, et une meilleure attention aux particularités locales des élèves.

description: Non-enzymatic glycation of proteins is a post-translational modification process which plays an important role in diabetes mellitus [1]. It involves covalent bond formation between free amino groups of proteins and reducing sugars that affects the physical and functional properties of proteins [2]. The present study was aimed at the investigation of the effects of glycation of hen egg white lysozyme (HEWL) by methylglyoxal and glycolaldehyde. The objectives of this study were to evaluate the enzyme activity during the glycation process, to identify the structures of advanced glycation end products (AGEs) formed on glycated HEWL, to investigate the effect of glycation on the secondary structure of glycated HEWL, and to analyse the morphology of the resulting aggregates. By using interdisciplinary techniques, we have shown that the kinetic rate of enzymatic activity loss of HEWL by methylglyoxal is two times higher than that for glycolaldehyde. Nevertheless, no changes in the secondary structure of HEWL were detected by CD. Furthermore, AGEs formed in the glycated HEWL by methylglyoxal promotes cross-linking in the glycated enzyme. Finally, the resulting aggregates exhibit the same spherical morphology but with different size (glycolaldehyde induces formation of bigger aggregates).

description: In a geometric system grounded in base 7 arithmetic, pi is redefined as the rational number 22/7 = 3.1 (in base 7), emerging as a direct consequence of the system’s internal logic rather than as an approximation. Using a full circle of 121 (base 7) = 64 (decimal) units and a quarter circle of 22 (base 7) = 16 (decimal), the model ensures integer divisions and rational values for perimeters, areas, and trigonometric calculations. Unlike the classical transcendental pi, this rational value integrates naturally within base 7 arithmetic. The paper explores the structural reasons for this redefinition and reveals connections to prime number patterns in base 7, suggesting a deeper arithmetic-geometric coherence.

description: Advanced glycation end-products (AGEs) have and important role in the pathophysiology of heart failure (HF) [1]. Some of these products present auto-fluorescent, feature typically used to measure them [2]. Recently, it has been described the characterization of AGEs using mass spectrometry (MS) [3]. Our aim was to evaluate the usefulness of these techniques to measure AGEs in patients with HF.
 One hundred consecutive patients with HF attending our medical centre were included in the study and clinical and analytical data were obtained (69.7±11.9 years, 34% female, 36% diabetics). Fluorescent AGEs and mass-shift of glycated albumin were respectively measured by fluorescence spectroscopy and MALDI-TOF/MS in the plasma of these patients.
 Positive association between glycated albumin mass-shift (66,616 ± 32.2 Da ranging 66,565 – 66,686 Da) and plasma levels of fluorescent AGEs (65.5 ± 20.8 a.u. ranging 29.5 - 128.8 a.u.) was observed (p < 0.05).
 While fluorescent AGEs only measure part of the total glycated modifications, the MS technique allow a global measurement of the glycated state of major circulating proteins. However, the strong correlation between both types of measure, points out that both of them can be used as biomarkers of the glycation state of plasma.

Diagnostic notes.
Truxalis viridifasciata can be distinguished from Oxytruxalis ensis by the following characteristics: antennae shorter than head and pronotum combined; pronotum saddle-shaped; tegmina more abruptly narrowed and obtusely pointed apically; hind wings only somewhat shorter than the tegmina; both the upper lateral lobes (inner and outer) of the hind knees of more or less the same length. Only adults of Oxytruxalis and Truxalis can be separated, based on the above characteristics. Nymphs are much harder to identify since their wings and the shape of the pronotum have not yet fully developed.
We identified the nymph specimens in our collection and those collected by Wranik as T. viridifasciata, based on the equal length of the inner and outer dorsal spurs on the hind knees. A nymph mentioned by Burr (1898) under Truxalis nasuta (Linnaeus, 1758) is also considered to belong to this species (Krauss 1907; Popov in Uvarov and Popov 1957).
Distribution and occurrence.
The species is endemic to Socotra. It is relatively widespread in the Hagher, the surrounding limestone plateaus and the lower plains, but is uncommon (Fig. 20).
Habitat and biology.
The species occurs in various habitats between 35 and 1000 m a. s. l. Most records are from sparse dwarf, Croton - Jatropha - and submontane shrubland, submontane grassland and open woodland. Both adults and nymphs are present in all seasons.
Bioacoustics.
This species supposedly produces a song. Members of Truxalini are known to possess a stridulatory apparatus and can produce sounds through crepitation by snapping their hindwings during flight (Harz 1975; Haggag and Badawy 2017).

Publisher: name: Apollo - University of Cambridge Repository
Year: 2024

description: Punctures and surface damage can be catastrophic for soft robotic systems. Inspired by the self-sealing deformations of plants and the anisotropic distribution of collagen in the human skin's dermis, we present a dual-layer skin with controllable wound closure. Anisotropic elastomer channels are used to tune the directionality of the skin's mechanical stiffness, whilst an outermost hydrogel layer grows and shrinks as humidity is varied, generating stresses which close and open the wounds. We demonstrate and characterize the core principles of both mechanisms, before exploring the effects of composite parameters and morphologies. Repeatable and precise damage is inflicted using a CNC scalpel blade. Finally, we demonstrate the use of these mechanisms to seal scalpel cuts on an artificial hand, immediately restoring electrical channels broken by the wound.

Diagnostic notes.
Acorypha bimaculata and the following species, A. glaucopsis, have pinkish-based hind wings. A. bimaculata is distinguished from the latter by the following characteristics: the inner side of the hind femora is solid black, the hind femora are more slender with a length-to-height ratio greater than 2.8 and the ventral femoral carina is lower than the dorsal one.
Taxonomic notes.
Acorypha bimaculata is an outlier within the genus because of its slender appearance, the unique shape of the pronotal lateral carinae and its long wings (Fig. 21). Jago (1967) considered it most closely related to A. ornatipes Uvarov, 1950 from nearby mainland Africa (Somalia, Ethiopia, Kenya and Tanzania).
Distribution and occurrence.
Acorypha bimaculata is endemic to the Socotra Archipelago and occurs on Socotra and Samha. It is a widespread and common species in the Hagher and limestone plateaus. The type locality of A. bimaculata is Ras Shuab. Since the cape (Ras) is an unreachable site because of pure rock and surf, we consider the collecting site to be the coastal area of Shuab instead, north of the cape (Fig. 22).
Habitat and biology.
A. bimaculata is a geophilous species found year-round on rocky soils from sea level up to 1000 m a. s. l. On sandy soils, it is much scarcer. Records are from high shrubland with succulents, submontane grasslands, Frankincense woodland and forest and montane mosaic and - forest. It inhabits more wooded habitats compared to A. glaucopsis (Popov in Uvarov and Popov (1957)).

description: We present a soft gelatin-based hydrogel e-skin capable of detecting up to six simultaneous tactile stimuli, using electrical impedance tomography (EIT) measurements and convolutional neural networks. Our networks are trained on only real-world data, for which we present two custom data-collecting end-effectors. These allow multi-touch responses to be measured quickly and autonomously (up to 8 seconds per datapoint), giving datasets more than 10x larger than those existing in the literature. To demonstrate the benefits of this approach, we train a non-homogeneous skin to predict `macro-braille' patterns in a 3x2 grid, achieving a 89 percent classification accuracy.

description: Advanced glycation end-products (AGEs) have important implications in cardiovascular pathophysiology. However, little is known about their effects on vascular tissue remodelling processes and its regulation by redox status.
 The effects of AGEs (12.5 – 400 µg/ml) on the growth, migration, healing of human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVEC) and on the expression of genes involved in redox equilibrium were studied in vitro.
 AGEs 400 µg/ml significantly induced HUVEC growth after 12 hours of treatment, but not at lower concentrations. These results partially explain the fact that AGEs had no significant effects on endothelial healing after a wound in the range of concentrations tested. On the contrary, AGEs over 100 µg/ml enhanced HUVEC migration in vitro.
 Gene expression was stimulated by AGEs in a temporary pattern. Catalase and endothelial nitric oxide synthase, but not superoxide dismutase, were enhanced in the first instance (4 h) by AGEs over 50 µg/ml whereas NADPH oxidase (NOX4) was increased only after 15 hours of treatment.
 All together suggests that high concentrations of AGEs may increase endothelial cell proliferation and endothelial migration during angiogenesis, but not in healing. Temporary regulation of reactive oxygen species production may determine endothelial response to AGEs.

description: The Pelophylax genus comprises two main hybridogenetic systems resulting from hybridization between Pelophylax ridibundus and other species: the P. lessonae-esculentus (LE) system and the P. perezi-grafi (PG) system, whose distribution ranges lie partly (LE) or entirely (PG) outside the natural distribution of P. ridibundus. The introductions and subsequent expansions of P. ridibundus in many areas naturally inhabited by these hybridogenetic systems have led to their decrease or local extinction. One of the major impediments to efficient population surveys and conservation measures for these systems is the difficulties of reliable species identification due to their similar morphology and poorly documented vocalizations, especially for the PG system. Our aim in this work was to design a reliable method of acoustic identification to distinguish the taxa composing the hybridogenetic systems from P. ridibundus and to assess the possibility of separating the PG and LE systems by their vocalizations. Our acoustic identification methods proved highly accurate to separate the PG and LE systems from P. ridibundus but only a fraction of the PG and LE calls can be identified.

description: Protein glycation (PG) usually induces the loss of protein function and consequently, the development of diabetes-related diseases1. It has been assumed that this process occurs as a result of a structural modification induced by PG, which is also able to trigger protein aggregation. Therefore, neurodegenerative disorders such as Parkinson or Alzheimer diseases increase their prevalence under diabetes mellitus.
 Trying to describe in detail the molecular mechanism that links PG with protein aggregation we have studied the glycation of lysozyme (HEWL) with ribose2. HEWL has been used as a model since it holds a reduced aggregation tendency under its native state and possesses putative glycation targets (lysine and arginine)3. On the other hand, ribose induces protein aggregation4 and it physiological concentration rapidly rises in diabetic patients5.
 Through the combination of different biophysical techniques (NMR, CD, SAXS, etc.), we have proved that HEWL glycation mediated by ribose mainly occurs on lysine without altering the protein structure. However, glycation induces a change on the overall protein charge generating different hydrophobic patches which are responsible for the native aggregation of glycated HEWL. This aggregation process initiates with the formation of soluble oligomers which finally assemble to form insoluble aggregates.

Diagnostic notes.
Acorypha glaucopsis can be distinguished from A. bimaculata by the following characteristics: the inner side of the hind femora is yellow; the hind femora are broader, with a length-to-height ratio of less than 2.8. The femoral carinae are high; the dorsal and ventral ones are more or less the same height, with the ventral one being clearly whitish (Fig. 23).
Taxonomic notes.
Specimens from Socotra were formerly described by Krauss (1902) as Calliptamus pachypus Krauss, 1902. Uvarov (in Uvarov and Popov (1957)) synonymised the species with Caloptenopsis glaucopsis orientalis, which, in turn, was synonymised with the nominate by Jago (1967), who also synonymised Caloptenopsis with Acorypha.
Distribution and occurrence.
It has a wide distribution from Sahelian West Africa, Uganda, Tanzania, Ethiopia and Somalia, as well as Arabia and India (Rowell and Hemp 2017). On Socotra, the species is widespread and locally very common on coastal plains, like Hadiboh Plain. It is much scarcer at higher elevations (Fig. 24).
Habitat and biology.
Acorypha glaucopsis is a typical geophilous species characteristic of gravelly, stony, sandy plains with sparse vegetation. Most records are from sparse dwarf, low Croton - Jatropha shrubland and submontane grassland from 0–800 m a. s. l. Records are of all seasons.

description: Although aspirin is a cornerstone in the prevention of ischemic events in cardiovascular patients, its clinical benefit in diabetic patients is uncertain. Glycation of platelets proteins may be involved in the less-than expected sensitivity to aspirin but the effect of high glucose on the critical residues of the catalytic pocket of cyclooxygenase 1 (COX-1) has never been evidenced. We addressed this issue by incubating platelet proteins 24 hours with 30mM glucose followed by 30 minutes with 500µM aspirin and subsequent analysis by mass spectrometry. Our results show that aspirin acetylation does not change significantly for the majority of platelet protein sites including those belonging to COX-1, with the only exception for the serine 529 residue, the target of aspirin, where high glucose seems to significantly decrease its acetylation state. Moreover, the inhibition of COX-1 activity mediated by aspirin was significantly less marked in presence of high glucose levels. These results provide new insights on the interplay between glucose and aspirin on COX-1 activity, whereby the reduced acetylation level of its catalytic residue is associated to the lower inhibition of the enzyme mediated by aspirin.

Diagnostic notes.
Diabolocatantops axillaris is a medium-sized grasshopper, uniformly coloured light brown or grey, with dark brown sides of the pronotum and long tegmina. An oblique vertical whitish line on the posterior margin of the metathorax is characteristic. The hind femora are uniformly grey-brown, except for a black knee, two dorsal dark transverse bands and an isolated black marking on the dorsal edge of the median external area (Fig. 25).
Taxonomic notes.
Diabolocatantops Jago, 1984 is a mainly Asian genus, defined by the male genitalia and shape of the cerci (Jago 1984; Rowell and Hemp 2018). D. axillaris is the only species that occurs outside Asia in Africa.
Distribution and occurrence.
It occurs across the dry savannah belt south of the Sahara, in the Arabian Peninsula, Iran and several Indian Ocean islands, including Socotra, where it is widespread and ubiquitous at low elevations (Fig. 26). It is one of the most common insects on the island (Popov in Uvarov and Popov (1957)). In 2009 and 2010, we encountered hundreds of individuals on many lowland sites.
Habitat and biology.
D. axillaris is found in various habitats on Socotra, but always occurs in the direct vicinity of vegetation. The species is numerous at low elevations, less so higher up in the Hagher. Records are from year-round, from 0–800 m a. s. l. Specimens overnight in shrubs like Senna socotrana. Records are from sparse dwarf and low Croton - Jatropha shrubland and submontane grassland, less from higher shrubland, woodland and forest.

description: Fish commonly combine pectoral fin motion with tail and body motion to create a swimming gait. The rowing pectoral fin motion is characterized by distinct power and recovery strokes where the soft fin bends or rotates significantly to change the hydrodynamic profile of the appendage between the two strokes. In this work, we take inspiration from fish to create an underwater robot that uses a rowing gait to create net forward thrust. We present a mechanical linkage using two cams on a single drive axis to drive both the yawing and rolling rotations of the fin with a single actuated degree of freedom. We also describe the kinematics and geometric constraints of the linkage and how they relate to properties of the cams. We show that a soft fin can create asymmetric thrust in conjunction with the cam-follower transmission and that a fin can produce large spikes in negative force while still creating net forward work throughout the gait cycle.

Diagnostic notes.
Dioscoridus depressus is readily identifiable by several distinct characteristics: it is entirely apterous, with a conspicuous yellowish to light brown central longitudinal line from the fastigium to the tip of the abdomen. Two irregularly swollen ridges on the pronotum’s sides represent the lateral carinae. It features a well-defined, large tympanum (Figs 27, 28).
Taxonomic notes.
The genus is named after Dioscorida, the name of Socotra in Sanskrit, meaning the island of the abode of bliss (Schoff 1912). Popov (in Uvarov and Popov (1957)) stated that the genus stands alone within the Catantopinae, without an apparent near relative, apart from some superficially resembling African bush-dwelling genera.
Distribution and occurrence.
Dioscoridus is endemic to Socotra. Records are mainly from the Hagher and the surrounding limestone plateaus, but singletons in the west at Shuab suggest a much wider distribution (Fig. 29). It is considered uncommon, but may be easily overlooked due to its partially hidden way of life.
The labels of the specimens collected by Guichard on Mt. Shihali mention an elevation of 1500 m a. s. l. Since the peak of this mountain reaches 1324 m a. s. l., this is a mistake. Furthermore, Guichard’s field notes (1967) show he visited “ the mountain’s lower slopes ” on 20 April 1967, not the mountain’s peak. Based on this information and our knowledge of the area, we estimate the collecting site of these specimens to be more or less around 1100 m a. s. l. in an area much closer to Adho Dimello.
Habitat and biology.
Records of Dioscoridus are from high shrubland with succulents, submontane shrubland, Dracaena woodland and forest, montane mosaic and forest. Adults and nymphs live under and in cracks of the bark of dead trees, under stones and on open ground (Popov in Uvarov and Popov (1957)). Guichard (1992) found several adults under the bark of dead trees, side by side with geckoes. The species is present year-round; nymphs were found in February, March and October. Records are from 10–1100 m a. s. l.

Diagnostic notes.
Grasshoppers of the genus Anacridium Uvarov, 1923 are huge. The pronotum is roof-like with a distinct median carina, incised by three transverse sulci. A pinkish or orange line runs mid-dorsally over the head and pronotum. The hind wings have a dark wing disc and the hind tibiae are adorned with robust spines. The male subgenital plate is deeply trilobate with obtuse lobes. A. m. arabafrum is the only member of the genus in the Archipelago and the largest grasshopper species present.
Taxonomic notes.
Anacridium is a predominantly African genus with thirteen species (Cigliano et al. 2024 a), which are identified by the trilobate subgenital plate, the extent of the dark hind-wing disc and the shape of the sulci in the median carina of the pronotum (Dirsh and Uvarov 1953). A. melanorhodon (Walker, 1870) has two subspecies, of which the nominate occurs in the western and A. m. arabafrum in the eastern part of its distribution.
Distribution and occurrence.
Anacridium m. arabafrum occurs from Ethiopia and Sudan eastwards into Yemen and Saudi Arabia. On Socotra, it appears to be relatively scarce, with only a handful of widespread records at lower elevations (Fig. 30). Burr (1898, 1903) mentioned nymphs of Acridium sp., which may refer to this species.
Habitat and biology.
Anacridium are known as “ tree locusts ” and feed on trees, especially Acacia, Balanites and Zizyphus. They sometimes damage fruit trees (e. g. dates, citrus) and other woody plant crops (Lecoq and Zhang 2019; Hemp and Rowell 2020). Records on Socotra are from sparse dwarf and low Croton - Jatropha shrubland from 25–400 m a. s. l., nearly from all seasons.

Diagnostic notes.
This large grasshopper has an elegant pattern of light and dark brown markings. The head and pronotum feature a mid-dorsal whitish longitudinal line extending on to the folded tegmina. The prosternal process is strongly curved backwards. The pronotum is moderately roof-like, slightly saddle-shaped, dark brown and thinly margined white. There are tiny white spots and a broad rectangular light bar on the lateral lobes. The tegmina have sharply defined dark fasciae and spots and the hind wings are pale yellowish at the base. The median external area of the hind femora bears a thin longitudinal blackish line on the dorsolateral edge. The subgenital plate is elongated and acutely conical. Cyrtacanthacris Walker, 1870 is an Asian and African genus containing seven species (Cigliano et al. 2024 a), differing from each other by the male phallic complex (Dirsh 1979).
Distribution and occurrence.
Cyrtacanthacris tatarica occurs in Africa south of the Sahara and is common in Madagascar and the Seychelles, SW Asia, S Asia to Sumatra and the Philippines (Hemp and Rowell 2020). On Socotra, it is relatively scarce, with some scattered older records in the eastern part of the island. We did not find the species in 2009 and 2010. Records are from January to May (Fig. 31).
Habitat and biology.
The species typically occurs in savannah grasslands (Hemp and Rowell 2020). Records on Socotra are from sparse dwarf and low Croton - Jatropha shrubland at elevations from 25–400 m a. s. l.
