description: Background: In recent decades, several political, legislative, and judicial processes around the world have advanced legalization efforts for the use of medical cannabis (MC). As MC usage evolves through legislative reform, with an increase in public acceptance and therapeutic potential, a need exists to further investigate the facilitators and barriers to MC regulation. Methods: A scoping review was conducted to identify the facilitators and barriers associated with the implementation of international MC regulations. MEDLINE, EMBASE, AMED and PsycINFO databases were systematically searched. Eligible articles included primary studies that evaluated the MC regulatory framework of one or more countries globally. Results: Twenty-two articles were deemed eligible and included in this review. Themes identified include: (1) effects of conflicts, mindset and ideology of state population, (2) the use of comparisons to analyze MC regulation, and (3) the need for more knowledge, advice and empirical/clinical evidence to inform future MC policies. Conclusion: We identified a number of facilitators and barriers to MC regulation and provide a holistic overview of what factors are proposed to affect MC regulation. In recognizing that the evidence-base surrounding MC, MC usage among patients, and general societal acceptance of MC are all increasing across many parts of the globe, our review allows for relevant stakeholders to better understand these facilitators and barriers to inform future MC policy making.

Europe or Philosophy
Creators: name: Cacciari, Massimo
Publisher: name: Phenomenology and Mind
Year: 2015

description: In his essay on “Europe or Philosophy” the author wonders whether ‘this’ Europe is at least evoking the philosophical complexity of the notion of Europe. For instance, according to the author, talks of preserving Europe’s identity imply a tragic amnesia of Europe’s constitutional difference. Europe is a Topos-Atopos, a place without place, without a map of cultures, languages, ethnicities, as it exists as a paradoxical entity. Specifically, in the face of global migration flows, attempts to think of a European nation-state with borders make no sense. Now, just when we were thinking we had reached the threshold of the political unity, opposing forces, prejudices and aversions of all kinds - theoretical and practical, philosophical and political – are getting the better. But these opposites are endemic and Europe hosts opposites from the beginning. We are discovering that the attempt to reduce this tension of opposites, the will to impose a union to the opposites is a sort of original violence. Perhaps the only way of redemption is to be found in the acknowledgement of differences and even conflicts, instead of coercing these into a single, unrealistic entity.

description: Abstract WDTC1/Adp encodes an evolutionarily conserved suppressor of lipid accumulation. While reduced WDTC1 expression is associated with obesity in mice and humans, its cellular function is unknown. Here, we demonstrate that WDTC1 is a component of a DDB1‐CUL4‐ROC1 (CRL4) E3 ligase. Using 3T3‐L1 cell culture model of adipogenesis, we show that disrupting the interaction between WDTC1 and DDB1 leads to a loss of adipogenic suppression by WDTC1, increased triglyceride accumulation and adipogenic gene expression. We show that the CRL4WDTC1 complex promotes histone H2AK119 monoubiquitylation, thus suggesting a role for this complex in transcriptional repression during adipogenesis. Our results identify a biochemical role for WDTC1 and extend the functional range of the CRL4 complex to the suppression of fat accumulation.

description: Spectroscopic measurements are an indispensable tool in chemical analysis; even under extreme conditions such as high hydrostatic pressures, they can provide valuable insights. Theoretical methods that can reliably reproduce observables in solution can be used to validate the obtained results. A common theoretical model is the Reference Interaction Site Model (RISM), which was used in this work. In the first part, a previously developed method for calculating IR frequencies with the embedded cluster(EC)-RISM under equilibrium conditions was extended to non-equilibrium thermodynamics for IR spectroscopy. The pressure-dependent IR frequency shifts of TMAO and the cyanide anion were investigated as model systems. Furthermore, EC-RISM was used here for the first time to calculate EPR observables at ambient conditions. First, experiments with the geometrically optimized structure showed that EC-RISM gives significantly better results than a standard continuum calculation despite a large deviation from the experiment. A significant improvement in the direction of the experimental values was achieved by using a large number of snapshots from an ab initio molecular dynamics simulation (AIMD) instead of a single geometry. In general, in the context of the theoretical description of high-pressure effects on proteins, the critical question can be raised whether using force fields parameterized for ambient conditions is appropriate for high-pressure conditions. To answer this question, the pressure dependence of the peptide backbone was investigated in the third part, and the small molecules N-methyl acetamide (NMA) and Ac-Gly/Ala-NHMe were used as model systems. In this work, it was shown that EC-RISM is a suitable method of choice for the calculation of spectroscopic observables in solution. Especially when non-ambient conditions are to be examined, EC-RISM shows its strength since it is relatively easily extensible, e.g., high-pressure environments.

description: We present a concept of non-Gaussian measurement composed of a non-Gaussian ancillary state, linear optics and adaptive heterodyne measurement, and on the basis of this we also propose a simple scheme of implementing a quantum cubic gate on a traveling light beam. In analysis of the cubic gate in the Heisenberg representation, we find that nonlinearity of the gate is independent from nonclassicality; the nonlinearity is generated solely by a classical nonlinear adaptive control in a measurement-and-feedforward process while the nonclassicality is attached by the non-Gaussian ancilla that suppresses excess noise in the output. By exploiting the noise term as a figure of merit, we consider the optimum non-Gaussian ancilla that can be prepared within reach of current technologies and discuss performance of the gate. It is a crucial step towards experimental implementation of the quantum cubic gate.

Specimens of this collection are found at BM, BR, C, E, F, G, GH, LD, NY, and P.According to Wurdack & Renner (1993), the holotype is found at K, where there are two specimens from this collection. Both specimens also show the locality, collection, collector data, and collection number. In accordance with Art. 9.10 and 9.17 of the ICN (Turland et al. 2018), the indication by Wurdack & Renner (1993) represents the first-step of lectotypification. Thus, we proceed to the second-step, indicating the specimen K000537030 as lectotype, because it exhibits more developed inflorescences and more abundant complete flowers, that are also better preserved.

description: Response to sudden epidemic infectious disease emergencies can demand intensive and specialized training, as demonstrated in 2014 when Ebola virus disease (EVD) rapidly spread throughout West Africa. The medical community quickly became overwhelmed because of limited staff, supplies, and Ebola treatment units (ETUs). Because a mechanism to rapidly increase trained healthcare workers was needed, the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention developed and implemented an introductory EVD safety training course to prepare US healthcare workers to work in West Africa ETUs. The goal was to teach principles and practices of safely providing patient care and was delivered through lectures, small-group breakout sessions, and practical exercises. During September 2014–March 2015, a total of 570 participants were trained during 16 course sessions. This course quickly increased the number of clinicians who could provide care in West Africa ETUs, showing the feasibility of rapidly developing and implementing training in response to a public health emergency.

description: Cross-reactive antibodies elicited by dengue virus (DENV) infection might affect Zika virus infection and confound serologic tests. Recent data demonstrate neutralization of Zika virus by monoclonal antibodies or human serum collected early after DENV infection. Whether this finding is true in late DENV convalescence (>6 months after infection) is unknown. We studied late convalescent serum samples from persons with prior DENV or Zika virus exposure. Despite extensive cross-reactivity in IgG binding, Zika virus neutralization was not observed among primary DENV infections. We observed low-frequency (23%) Zika virus cross-neutralization in repeat DENV infections. DENV-immune persons who had Zika virus as a secondary infection had distinct populations of antibodies that neutralized DENVs and Zika virus, as shown by DENV-reactive antibody depletion experiments. These data suggest that most DENV infections do not induce durable, high-level Zika virus cross-neutralizing antibodies. Zika virus–specific antibody populations develop after Zika virus infection irrespective of prior DENV immunity.

Europe’s Double Origin: “The Greek” and “the Roman” in Hannah Arendt’s Phenomenological Genealogy of Europe
Creators: name: Maggini, Golfo
Publisher: name: Phenomenology and Mind
Year: 2015

description: In our paper we treat the Arendtian genealogy of Europe against its Heideggerian backdrop and also with regard to several key phenomenological commentaries, especially these of Reiner Schürmann, Jacques Taminiaux and Eliane Escoubas. Arendt often plays Greek against Roman politics insisting that the political is founded upon a unique type of experience, which is not that of truth, but of freedom perceived not as a means for political ends, but as being intrinsically political, which is for her a unique Roman achievement. What would such a discourse on Europe’s founding narratives, which are no doubt not only Greek and Roman, but also Christian and Enlightenment-based, have to contribute to the on-going European crisis? The phenomenological discourse on the origins of Europe shouldn’t be perceived as the reductive endeavor to identify a unique, unchanged, and ultimately exclusive principle determining the common European identity in terms of identity and difference or authenticity and inauthenticity, but in the terms of what Marc Crépon claims about Europe being the product of a dream, that is, the product of an infinitely renewable self-differentiation.

description: The structural transitions of the ground state of a system of repulsively interacting particles confined in a quasi-one-dimensional channel, and the effect of the interparticle interaction as well as the functional form of the confinement potential on those transitions are investigated. Although the non-sequential ordering of transitions (non-SOT), i.e. $1$-$2$-$4$-$3$-$4$-$5$-$6$-$...$ sequence of chain configurations with increasing density, is widely robust as predicted in a number of theoretical studies, the sequential ordering of transitions (SOT), i.e.~$1$-$2$-$3$-$4$-$5$-$6$-$...$ chain, is found as the ground state for long-ranged interparticle interaction and hard-wall-like confinement potentials. We found an energy barrier between every two different phases around its transition point, which plays an important role in the preference of the system to follow either a SOT or a non-SOT. However, that preferential transition requires also the stability of the phases during the transition. Additionally, we analyze the effect of a small structural disorder on the transition between the two phases around its transition point. Our results show that a small deformation of the triangular structure, change dramatically the picture of the transition between two phases, removing in a considerable region the non-SOT in the system. This feature could explain the fact that the non-SOT is, up to now, not observed in experimental systems, and suggests a more advanced experimental set-up to detect the non-SOT.

Examining 33 “false truths” concerning Europe, Smaghi suggests a new way the current crisis should be dealt with: what matters most is the awareness that European States manage to achieve in regard to their past errors, their present potentialities and their future possibilities, without deeming Europe itself as a scapegoat. Rhetoric, action and credibility: Smaghi aims at making readers deeply ponder over some prejudices regarding Europe and at restoring European citizens’ faith in Europe.

description: The problems of optimizing the value of an arbitrary observable of the two-level system at both a fixed time and the shortest possible time is theoretically explored. Complete identification and classification along with comprehensive analysis of globally optimal control policies and traps (i.e. policies which are locally but not globally optimal) is presented. The central question addressed is whether the control landscape remains trap-free if control constraints of the inequality type are imposed. The answer is astonishingly controversial, namely, although formally it is always negative, in practice it is positive provided that the control time is fixed and chosen long enough.

description: Phylogenetic analysis of the influenza hemagglutinin gene (HA) has suggested that commercial pigs in Chile harbor unique human seasonal H1-like influenza viruses, but further information, including characterization of these viruses, was unavailable. We isolated influenza virus (H1N2) from a swine in a backyard production farm in Central Chile and demonstrated that the HA gene was identical to that in a previous report. Its HA and neuraminidase genes were most similar to human H1 and N2 viruses from the early 1990s and internal segments were similar to influenza A(H1N1)pdm09 virus. The virus replicated efficiently in vitro and in vivo and transmitted in ferrets by respiratory droplet. Antigenically, it was distinct from other swine viruses. Hemagglutination inhibition analysis suggested that antibody titers to the swine Chilean H1N2 virus were decreased in persons born after 1990. Further studies are needed to characterize the potential risk to humans, as well as the ecology of influenza in swine in South America.

Charge order driven by Fermi-arc instability and its connection with pseudogap in cuprate superconductors

Year: 2015
Subjects: subject: Superconductivity (cond-mat.supr-con)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: The recently discovered charge order is a generic feature of cuprate superconductors, however, its microscopic origin remains debated. Within the framework of the fermion-spin theory, the nature of charge order in the pseudogap phase and its evolution with doping are studied by taking into account the electron self-energy (then the pseudogap) effect. It is shown that the antinodal region of the electron Fermi surface is suppressed by the electron self-energy, and then the low-energy electron excitations occupy the disconnected Fermi arcs located around the nodal region. In particular, the charge-order state is driven by the Fermi-arc instability, with a characteristic wave vector corresponding to the hot spots of the Fermi arcs rather than the antinodal nesting vector. Moreover, although the Fermi arc increases its length as a function of doping, the charge-order wave vector reduces almost linearity with the increase of doping. The theory also indicates that the Fermi arc, charge order, and pseudogap in cuprate superconductors are intimately related each other, and all of them emanates from the electron self-energy due to the interaction between electrons by the exchange of spin excitations.

description: Pedestrian detection is a popular research topic due to its paramount importance for a number of applications, especially in the fields of automotive, surveillance and robotics. Despite the significant improvements, pedestrian detection is still an open challenge that calls for more and more accurate algorithms. In the last few years, deep learning and in particular convolutional neural networks emerged as the state of the art in terms of accuracy for a number of computer vision tasks such as image classification, object detection and segmentation, often outperforming the previous gold standards by a large margin. In this paper, we propose a pedestrian detection system based on deep learning, adapting a general-purpose convolutional network to the task at hand. By thoroughly analyzing and optimizing each step of the detection pipeline we propose an architecture that outperforms traditional methods, achieving a task accuracy close to that of state-of-the-art approaches, while requiring a low computational time. Finally, we tested the system on an NVIDIA Jetson TK1, a 192-core platform that is envisioned to be a forerunner computational brain of future self-driving cars.

Le Parlement Européen à la Croisée des Chemins
Creators: name: Spinelli, Altiero
Publisher: name: Phenomenology and Mind

description: Courtesy Barbara Spinelli (European Parliament) and Virginio Dastoli (European Movement and European Federalists), it is our pleasure to republish the presentation of the first issue of “Crocodile – Lettre aux Membres du Parlement européen”, founded and directed by Altiero Spinelli (1907-1986). The journal was launched on October 1, 1980, just one year after the first election of the European Parliament by universal suffrage (June 1979). In 1984 this Parliament endorsed the draft of a Treatise for the European Union, a substantial step toward the institution of a political union. The parallel proposal of union of all European States in a supranational State, promoted by the European Federalists, was rejected by the Heads of State members of the European Council. A subtle discussion of the conditions for existence and efficacy of a “European will” is the very core of this precious historical document.

description: Activation of the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis results in the release of hormones from the adrenal glands, including glucocorticoids and mineralocorticoids. The physiological association between corticosteroids and cardiac disease is becoming increasingly recognized; however, the mechanisms underlying this association are not well understood. To determine the biological effects of corticosteroids on the heart, we investigated the impact of adrenalectomy in C57BL/6 male mice. Animals were adrenalectomized (ADX) at 1 month of age and maintained for 3–6 months after surgery to evaluate the effects of long-term adrenalectomy on cardiac function. Morphological evaluation suggested that ADX mice showed significantly enlarged hearts compared with age-matched intact controls. These changes in morphology correlated with deficits in left ventricular (LV) function and electrocardiogram (ECG) abnormalities in ADX mice. Correlating with these functional defects, gene expression analysis of ADX hearts revealed aberrant expression of a large cohort of genes associated with cardiac hypertrophy and arrhythmia. Combined corticosterone and aldosterone replacement treatment prevented the emergence of cardiac abnormalities in ADX mice, whereas corticosterone replacement prevented the effects of adrenalectomy on LV function but did not block the emergence of ECG alterations. Aldosterone replacement did not preserve the LV function but prevented ECG abnormalities. Together, the data indicate that adrenal glucocorticoids and mineralocorticoids either directly or indirectly have selective effects in the heart and their signaling pathways are essential in maintaining normal cardiac function.
IGF-I and IGFBP-2 Stimulate AMPK Activation and Autophagy, Which Are Required for Osteoblast Differentiation

description: IGF-I/insulin-like growth factor binding protein 2 (IGFBP-2) coordinately stimulate osteoblast differentiation but the mechanisms by which they function have not been determined. AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK) is induced during differentiation and AMPK knockout mice have reduced bone mass. IGF-I modulates AMPK in other cell types; therefore, these studies determined whether IGF-I/IGFBP-2 stimulate AMPK activation and the mechanism by which AMPK modulates differentiation. Calvarial osteoblasts and MC-3T3 cells expressed activated AMPK early in differentiation and AMPK inhibitors attenuated differentiation. However, expression of constitutively activated AMPK inhibited differentiation. To resolve this discrepancy we analyzed the time course of AMPK induction. AMPK activation was required early in differentiation (day 3–6) but down-regulation of AMPK after day 9 was also necessary. IGF-I/IGFBP-2 induced AMPK through their respective receptors and blocking-receptor activation blocked AMPK induction. To determine the mechanism by which AMPK functioned we analyzed components of the autophagosome. Activated AMPK stimulated ULK-1 S555 phosphorylation as well as beclin-1 and microtubule-associated protein 1A/1B light-chain phosphatidylethanolamine conjugate (LC3II) induction. Inhibition of AMPK attenuated these changes and direct inhibition of autophagy inhibited differentiation. Conversely, expression of activated AMPK was associated with persistence of these changes beyond day 9 and inhibited differentiation. Blocking AMPK activation after day 9 down-regulated these autophagosome components and rescued differentiation. This allowed induction of mechanistic target of rapamycin and AKT, which suppressed autophagy. The results show that early induction of AMPK in response to IGF-I/IGFBP-2 followed by suppression is required for osteoblast differentiation. AMPK functions through stimulation of autophagy. The findings suggest that these early catabolic changes are important for determining the energy source for osteoblast respiration and down-regulation of these components may be required for induction of glycolysis, which is required during the final anabolic stages of differentiation.

description: We have studied the filaments extracted from the column density maps of the nearby Lupus 1, 3, and 4 molecular clouds, derived from photometric maps observed with the Herschel satellite. Filaments in the Lupus clouds have quite low column densities, with a median value of $\sim$1.5$\times$10$^{21}$ cm$^{-2}$ and most have masses per unit length lower than the maximum critical value for radial gravitational collapse. Indeed, no evidence of filament contraction has been seen in the gas kinematics. We find that some filaments, that on average are thermally subcritical, contain dense cores that may eventually form stars. This is an indication that in the low column density regime, the critical condition for the formation of stars may be reached only locally and this condition is not a global property of the filament. Finally, in Lupus we find multiple observational evidences of the key role that the magnetic field plays in forming filaments, and determining their confinement and dynamical evolution.

Telos, Nomos, Ethos. Quel sens philosophique de l’Europe politique ?
Creators: name: Ferry, Jean-Marc
Publisher: name: Phenomenology and Mind
Year: 2015

description: After World War II, the project of an European Political Union seems to have been developing in a quite opposite spirit to that in which a renowned master of thought such as Husserl in his famous 1935 Vienna Lecture had appealed to a “ Philosophical Europe” , while calling the “European humanity” to a “heroism of reason”, in order to prevent western rationalism from getting bogged down in objectivism and naturalism. There is a sharp contrast between this idealism and the realism of the pioneers of the European construction, a process dominated by economicism, functionalism, technocracy; a “cold” process par excellence, hardly capable of nourishing political passions, and even less likely to arouse philosophic enthusiasms. Yet what is at stake is the big post-national transformation, probably more important than the French Revolution was for its contemporaries. The very legacy of the Enlightenment’s main idea – the cosmo-political idea – is at stake behind the “coldness” of the transnational integration process. In this respect a normative approach to the European project sheds light on its philosophical dimension.
