description: Abstract Epigenetic remodeling is emerging as a critical process for several neurodegenerative diseases, including amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS). Genetics alone fails to explain the etiology of ALS, the investigation of the epigenome might therefore provide novel insights into the molecular mechanisms of the disease. In this study, we interrogated the epigenetic landscape in peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) of familial ALS (fALS) patients with either chromosome 9 open reading frame 72 ( C9orf72 ) or superoxide dismutase 1 ( SOD1 ) mutation and aimed to identify key epigenetic footprints of the disease. To this end, we used an integrative approach that combines chromatin immunoprecipitation targeting H3K27me3 (ChIP-Seq) with the matching gene expression data to gain new insights into the likely impact of blood-specific chromatin remodeling on ALS-related molecular mechanisms. We demonstrated that one of the hub molecules that modulates changes in PBMC transcriptome in SOD1 -mutant ALS patients is ATF3, which has been previously reported in an SOD1 G93A mouse model. We also identified potential suppression of SNAP25 , with impaired ATF3 signaling in SOD1 -mutant ALS blood. Together, our study shed light on the mechanistic underpinnings of SOD1 mutations in ALS.

E07366: The 'epic' Greek Martyrdom of *Mamas (martyr of Kaisareia/Caesarea in Cappadocia, S00436) recounts the birth of Mamas in prison, his Christian upbringing, arrest, and martyrdom. The text, probably written in Caesarea in the 8th/9th century, is based on a martyrdom account dating from the 4th century.

description: Martyrdom of Mamas (BHG 1019)

Summary:

§§ 1-5. Theodotos and Rhuphina, a Christian couple who lived in the town Gangra in Paphlagonia, are arrested because of their faith. Alexandros, 'the first [in rank] of the town Gangra', sends them to the governor in Caesarea, where they are immediately thrown in prison. Theodotos dies in jail, while Rhuphina, who was pregnant with Mamas, prematurely gives birth to her son due to the hardships in prison and dies soon afterwards. A pious woman named Ammia buries Mamas’ parents and undertakes his upbringing. She also entrusts his education to a teacher, who from the very beginning recognises and admires the extraordinary wisdom of the child.

§§ 6-10. Under the reign of the emperor Aurelian, on the feast day of Zeus, the tyrant Democritus orders that everybody offers sacrifice to the pagan gods. However, Mamas exhorts other children to disobey the order. Mamas is brought before the court and publicly refuses to offer sacrifice to the pagan gods. Democritus sends Mamas to the emperor Aurelian, who was in Aigai at the time. Upon arrival, Mamas is subjected to imprisonment, interrogation, and torment because of his disobedience.

§§ 11-25. An angel of God releases him from torture and instructs him to find refuge in the mountains of Caesarea. He goes to Siloam mountain, where he domesticates wild animals and is nourished with their milk. When the pagan opponent Alexandros gets to know his whereabouts, he sends some soldiers to arrest him. When the soldiers find him, Mamas teaches them Christian doctrine and expresses his willingness to appear before the governor. Alexandros calls on Mamas to renounce his God and punishes him after his flat refusal to do so. Mamas is sent to prison, where forty other persons were confined. At the dead of the night, the prison gate is miraculously opened, and the forty prisoners break out. Mamas, on the contrary, opts to remain there. Whereupon Mamas is subjected to several torments, including death by beasts, from which he emerges unscathed. Finally, he is struck in the stomach with a trident and dies a martyr’s death. Some pious men bury his body in 'a dignified place'. The martyrdom of Mamas took place 'on the 13th day before the September Kalends' (i.e. on August 16 or 19).

description: Understanding entropy and the second law of thermodynamics presents significant challenges in science education at the undergraduate level. While many untested approaches have been proposed to enhance the teaching of these concepts, this study focuses on the testing of a microscopic-oriented introduction to thermodynamics for first-year undergraduates in a scientific curriculum that uses elements from statistical thermodynamics with minimal reliance on mathematics. Conceptual change was observed thanks to a questionnaire featuring multiple-choice questions with and without justification. Our intervention included a two-hour lecture, a two-hour exercise tutorial, and a supplementary text for a laboratory. The results indicate that this approach had a mixed effect on conceptual change. The intervention demonstrated a small effect size in a task addressing entropy comparison in gases, suggesting its potential as a supplementary educational tool in tertiary settings to understand molecular factors affecting entropy. However, the teaching method did not seem to improve alternative conceptions connected to disorder, or to quantum mechanical effects, such as the dependence of rotational entropy on the moments of inertia of particles. These findings underlie the critical need for testing new teaching methods in introductory thermodynamics and provide evidence that a microscopic perspective might complement the traditional teaching of macroscopic thermodynamics.

description: Background Technology can support healthy aging and empower older adults to live independently. However, technology adoption by older adults, particularly assistive technology (AT), is limited and little is known about the types of AT used among older adults. This study explored the use of key information and communication technologies (ICT) and AT among community-dwelling adults aged ≥ 65. Methods A cross-sectional study was conducted among community-dwelling adults aged ≥ 65 in southern Germany using a paper-based questionnaire. The questionnaire included questions on the three domains sociodemographic aspects, health status, and technology use. Technology use was considered separately for key ICT (smartphone, computer/laptop, and tablet) and a range of 31 different AT. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, univariate analyses, and Bernoulli Naïve Bayes modelling. Results The questionnaire was answered by 616 participants (response rate: 24.64%). ICT were used by 497 (80.68%) participants and were associated with lower age, higher level of education, living together with someone, availability of internet connection, higher interest in technology, and better health status ( p  < .05). No association was found with sex and size of the hometown. The most frequently owned AT were a landline phone, a body scale, and a blood pressure monitor. Several AT related to functionality, (instrumental) activities of daily living- (IADL), and morbidity were used more frequently among non-ICT users compared to ICT-users: senior mobile phone (19.33% vs. 3.22%), in-house emergency call (13.45% vs. 1.01%), hearing aid (26.89% vs. 16.7%), personal lift (7.56% vs. 1.61%), electronic stand-up aid (4.2% vs. 0%). Those with higher interest in technology reported higher levels of benefit from technology use. Conclusions Despite the benefits older adults can gain from technology, its use remains low, especially among those with multimorbidity. Particularly newer, more innovative and (I)ADL-related AT appear underutilized. Considering the potential challenges in providing adequate care in the future, it may be crucial to support the use of these specific AT among older and frailer populations. To focus scientific and societal work, AT with a high impact on autonomy ((I)ADL/disease-related) should be distinguished from devices with a low impact on autonomy (household-/ comfort-related). © In Copyright http://rightsstatements.org/vocab/InC/1.0/

description: This talk covers a Higgs to 4 lepton analysis that approximately reproduces part of the published CMS Higgs discovery paper at 7 and 8 TeV. CMS Open Data are data taken by the CMS detector that are released to the public via the CERN Open Data portal (http://opendata.web.cern.ch/). The purpose is to encourage people (public or external researchers) to conduct their own analysis using original preserved data. CMS Open Data can not only be used for research but also for educational purposes. Rebuilding part of the original Higgs discovery, a simplified analysis of the Higgs to 4 lepton mass spectrum using CMS Open Data is introduced based on original CMS datasets. The analysis and some of its simplifications are explained. The corresponding example code is being publicly released together with CMS primary dataset for 2012.

description: Teachers’ knowledge and acceptance of evolution affect their evolution teaching. However, research on the relationship between teachers’ knowledge about and acceptance of evolution is ambiguous. Previous studies suggest that religiosity, gender, academic qualifications, and teaching experience may influence knowledge and acceptance. However, few studies have focused on Arab contexts. This study examined the knowledge about and acceptance of evolution among Jordanian biology teachers (N = 346), a country rarely studied regarding evolution education. Data were collected using a questionnaire to assess knowledge, acceptance, and sociodemographic variables. Results demonstrate a low level of knowledge about evolution for Jordanian biology teachers. Years of teaching experience were significantly associated with higher levels of knowledge. Acceptance of evolution was low. Males, postgraduates, and teachers with less than five years of experience showed higher acceptance levels. Biology teachers in Jordan demonstrate no significant correlation between their knowledge and acceptance of evolution, whereas a significant negative correlation was shown for female teachers. The study underscores the need for curriculum reforms in Jordanian universities and schools to improve evolution teaching. Given the influence of sociocultural and religious factors on acceptance, future research should explore the role of religiosity and demographic variables in shaping attitudes toward evolution.

description: Abstract Since the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic, many different machine learning models have been developed to detect and verify COVID-19 pneumonia based on chest X-ray images. Although promising, binary models have only limited implications for medical treatment, whereas the prediction of disease severity suggests more suitable and specific treatment options. In this study, we publish severity scores for the 2358 COVID-19 positive images in the COVIDx8B dataset, creating one of the largest collections of publicly available COVID-19 severity data. Furthermore, we train and evaluate deep learning models on the newly created dataset to provide a first benchmark for the severity classification task. One of the main challenges of this dataset is the skewed class distribution, resulting in undesirable model performance for the most severe cases. We therefore propose and examine different augmentation strategies, specifically targeting majority and minority classes. Our augmentation strategies show significant improvements in precision and recall values for the rare and most severe cases. While the models might not yet fulfill medical requirements, they serve as an appropriate starting point for further research with the proposed dataset to optimize clinical resource allocation and treatment. © In Copyright http://rightsstatements.org/vocab/InC/1.0/

description: The negative results obtained by searches for heavy new resonances are excluding ever more of the potential phase space where they could be directly produced at the LHC, hinting that they might be out of reach given our current facilities. This in turn makes the Effective Field Theory (EFT) description increasingly attractive as a way to explore the physics beyond the Standard Model (SM). In this approach the focus is on precision measurements and constraints are set on the EFT operators in terms of deviations with respect to SM predictions. In this talk, the basics of the EFT approach and operators will be discussed, with an emphasis on those affecting the top pair production process and how are they constrained through a measurement of the top pair spin density matrix in the dileptonic channel by the CMS experiment.

description: The study investigates the alignment between the Chemistry Curriculum Standards of Senior High School (Curriculum Standards) and 10 sets of 2023 standards-based high-stakes tests in mainland China through the lens of Chemistry Core Competencies (CCCs). Following Porter’s alignment model, a two-dimensional matrix composed of components of CCCs and proficiency levels of CCCs was developed to represent Curriculum Standards and tests, based on which to compute overall alignment indices and the degree of match for each dimension. The results indicate that all tests value CCCs, but the vast majority have statistically insignificant alignment with Curriculum Standards. This inconsistency is mainly due to the tests’ more emphasis on higher-order thinking skills, which has resulted in an overall shift towards higher proficiency of CCCs from Curriculum Standards to tests. Compared to Curriculum Standards, the tests measure scientific thinking more than chemical concepts, and the ratio of scientific inquiry and practice is most consistent with Curriculum Standards, but minimally assesses scientific attitudes and responsibility. The findings present direct evidence for improving the quality of assessment in the future. The proposal of the alignment analytical framework offers researchers in other countries the possibility of localised exploration.

description: This study tested a conceptual model of factors contributing to students’ interest in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) careers. The interrelations among STEM career interest, engagement in physics classes, epistemic cognition in physics, gender, the socioeconomic status (SES), and physics grade of students were investigated. A sample of 8513 high school students participated in the study. Latent-variable structural equation modelling was employed. The results revealed that STEM career interest was significantly related to engagement, epistemic cognition, gender, and SES. However, the prediction pattern was non-uniform across the different STEM domains. Thus, disciplinary differences were observed in the factors that significantly predict students' interest in careers. Mediation analysis revealed that student engagement mediated the relation of epistemic cognition and gender to STEM career interest and physics grade. Epistemic cognition mediated the relationship between SES and STEM career interest. Significant gender and SES-related differences were also observed and are discussed herein.

description: This study examined how scientific literacy had been conceptualised in textbook tasks based on the PISA 2018 science framework. Specifically, a total of 3888 tasks from four versions of Chinese junior secondary physics textbooks were coded on the three PISA dimensions of competencies, knowledge, and contexts. It was found that about 70% of tasks were de-contextualized and those tasks involving real contexts focused on content related to the frontiers of science and technology. More significantly, tasks testing ‘explaining scientific phenomena’ were predominant while those involving ‘interpret data and evidence scientifically’ and especially ‘evaluate and design scientific enquiry’ competencies were rare. Tasks requiring content knowledge were also overemphasised whereas the use of epistemic knowledge was downplayed. It therefore appeared that tasks in these physics textbooks emphasised the recall, understanding and verification of scientific knowledge. More meaningful task contexts related to sustainable development should be designed to develop students’ epistemic knowledge as well as promote their understanding of the nature of scientific inquiry are among the implications from this study.
Errare, sviarsi, vagabondare lungo il sentiero della traduzione letteraria
Creators: name: Cavagnoli, Franca
Publisher: name: Università degli  Studi di Milano
Year: 2017
Subjects: traduzione; letteratura postcoloniale; letteratura americana; lingue di contatto; dialetti

description: The essay intends to look at the notion of error with particular reference to literary translation from English into Italian. It specifically focuses on texts uncomfortably poised between spoken and written language, coming from postcolonial literature written in contact languages (Nigerian Pidgin English and rotten English), and American literature written in dialects and vernaculars. It will try to shed light on how the norm/usage dichotomy can be creatively explored and redefined by both the writer and the translator.

Spelling Errors as a Cry of Protest. The Idiosyncratic Language of the Baroness Elsa von Freytag-Loringhoven
Creators: name: Chiappini, Francesca
Publisher: name: Università degli  Studi di Milano
Year: 2017
Subjects: Baroness Elsa; modernism; women’s studies; linguistic hybridisation; transnational

description: This article aims at analysing the spelling oddities in the still widely unknown corpus of the German-American poet Elsa von-Freytag Loringhoven (1874-1927). Such irregularities prove too widespread in her poetic work merely to be ascribed to her German origins, especially since her English was otherwise proficient, and since she had native speaker friends willing to proofread her writings. Although ‘the Baroness’ only learnt English in her thirties, recidivism in the misspelling of some particular words motivates further investigation.

The Baroness’s poetic language is so rich in misspellings, mistranslations, coinages, portmanteau words and unusual idioms, that it is idiosyncratic and unique; clearly, a lack of proficiency in the English language cannot be identified as the (only) cause. Indeed, in a letter to Djuna Barnes, she declared: “It is written like half mad in syntax […] I am half mad – as is only sensible”. While such a statement is not to be taken literally, it is still true that the Baroness’s intolerance of social prescriptions, her alluring performances and daring behaviour caused her to be labelled as “hysteric, perverted and mad.” (Gammel 2003: 57) Spelling errors and other oddities in her corpus should therefore be reframed in a wider, programmatic intention to challenge the English language specifically, and verbal expression in general; ultimately, linguistic errors are one of the most interesting manifestations of her uncompromising non-acquiescence to rules.

Sir Thomas Browne Against Error: An Apology for Complexity
Creators: name: Iannaccaro, Giuliana
Publisher: name: Università degli  Studi di Milano
Year: 2017
Subjects: error; Sir Thomas Browne; Pseudodoxia Epidemica; complexity; epistemology; language and rhetoric

description: In 1646 Sir Thomas Browne published his Pseudodoxia Epidemica, a broad, somewhat encyclopedic catalogue of errors divided into seven books. Browne intended his work as “Enquiries into Vulgar and Common Errors” to help discourage “radicated beliefs” – that is, received opinions based on popular credulity and the unchallenged authority of tradition. Far from being dogmatic and assertive, the treatise engages the modern reader for its defence of open debate and of the value of contradiction; actually, Pseudodoxia appears deeply in tune with the epistemological uncertainty of our times for its complex, relativising and even dubitative approach to all things human. Browne endorses the idea that uncritical acceptance of received notions about the world hinders the advancement of learning; at the same time, though, a rigidly straight path – a unique, simplified method to decipher reality – equally perverts knowledge and is the source of misapprehension and mystification. Building on recent studies on his style and his connection with a culturally and politically convulsed historical period, the present contribution discusses Browne’s notion of complexity and highlights exemplary passages in which he discusses the main source of error: the human tendency to simplify what is complex, thus reducing the interpretation of notions, signs and phenomena to a one-sided and necessarily inadequate undertaking.

description: To keep abreast with recent developments in young persons’ STEM career interests and to anticipate the gender representation in the future workforce, we need to periodically update cohort comparisons of the persistence in STEM career interest among male and female youth. Using two national U.S. samples of first-year college students, collected a decade apart in 2007 and 2017, we found that, at the end of high school, the gender gap in STEM career interest still existed, but had shrunk considerably during the decade. Both genders were more likely to transition into STEM from non-STEM career interests during the high school years in the 2017 cohort than in the 2007 cohort, with females experiencing a steeper increase. Furthermore, females who were initially interested in a STEM career were more likely to persist in a STEM career interest in the 2017 cohort than in the 2007 cohort, whereas males’ persistence rates remained the same between cohorts.

Subjects: history; historiography; language and history; anachronism

description: Unlike the hard sciences, historiography lacks a specific nomenclature. The lexicon employed by historians is drawn from the plain language of everyday life. Therefore, the words of history are to be defined within the spatio-temporal framework, and to be construed through processes of contextualization and comparison. My work here stems from these considerations, and attempts to chart the occurrence of errors in historiography. In particular, I take into account the way in which historiographic mistakes arise from the intermingling of words, space, and historical time. Another significant aspect concerns the relationship between history, fiction, and arbitrariness. The latter concept is linked to historical interpretation, which constitutes the last stage of historiographical work, after the analysis and the reconstruction of events. The last part of this paper offers a typology of frequent errors in historiography.

Year: 2023
Subjects: subject: Education
subject: Computer literacy

description: Purpose - This paper examines the challenges encountered in teaching digital competencies among school students in Zambia at the secondary level from a teacher’s perspective. Based on this paper’s key research objectives. Design/methodology/approach - The data were solicited from 20 schools in Lusaka. The paper employed a survey design in which a sample of 281 teachers was selected. A questionnaire was used to gather data from teachers, whose findings were analysed using SPSS's latest version. Findings -  The findings show that while teachers in Zambia have access to digital devices and possess moderate to high levels of digital literacy skills, there are challenges in effectively integrating technology into the curriculum and instruction. The lack of alignment, high cost, and limited availability of technology are vital obstacles. Addressing these challenges will require comprehensive policies, infrastructure development, and professional development programs to enhance teachers' digital competencies and ensure equitable access to technology for all students. Limitations - The study was limited to only Lusaka Province in Zambia. Originality/value - This study is helpful to the ICT educators and the government of Zambia to know the challenges teachers face in adopting digital technology in their classroom scenarios.

Interempti sunt patres nostri omnes sancti, qui nobis praedicauerunt Christum. Nos ergo ligati eramus a Satana, quia ii qui genuerant nos uerbo uitae fuerant interempti. At ubi cognouimus eos in caelis gaudere et possidere gloriam Christi, aedificata est in nobis Sion et uisus dominus in maiestate sua. Gaudemus enim, quia respexit in orationes eorum et non spreuit preces eorum. Scripsimus passiones eorum in progenies alteras, et populus qui creabitur usque in sempiternum laudat dominum in sanctis suis.

'Our fathers, all the saints, who preached Christ to us, were killed. We were therefore bound by Satan, because those who had brought us forth to the word of life had been killed. But when we knew that they rejoiced in Heaven and possessed the glory of Christ, Zion was built in us, and the Lord was seen in his majesty. For we rejoice because he accepted their prayers and did not despise their beseechings. We have written their Passions for future generations, and the people that will be brought forth right up to eternity praise the Lord in his saints.'
