description: Introduction: In older patients with axis fractures, the survival benefit from surgery is unclear due to high baseline mortality. Comparative effectiveness research can provide evidence from population level cohorts. Propensity weighting is the preferred methodology for reducing bias when analyzing national administrative cohort data for these purposes but has not yet been utilized for this important surgical conundrum. We estimate the effect of surgery on mortality after isolated acute traumatic axis fracture in older adults. Materials and Methods: We used a retrospective population-based cohort of Medicare patients and generated a propensity score-weighted nonsurgical cohort and compared mortality with and without surgery. This balanced the comorbid conditions of the treatment groups. Incident fractures were defined using a predetermined algorithm based on enrollment, code timing, and billing location. The primary outcome was adjusted all-cause 1-year mortality. Results: From 12 372 beneficiaries with 1-year continuous enrollment and a coded axis fracture, 2676 patients met final inclusion/exclusion criteria. Estimated incidence was 16.5 per 100 000 person-years overall in 2014 (95% confidence interval [CI]: 15.0-18.0) and was stable from 2008 through 2014. Patients with axis fracture had a mean age of 82.8 years, 30.2% were male, and 91.9% were Caucasian. Mortality was 3.8 times higher (CI 3.6-4.1) compared with the general population of older US adults. Propensity-weighted mortality at 1 year for nonsurgical patients was 26.7 of 100 (CI: 24.5-29.0). Mortality for surgical patients was significantly lower (19.7/100; CI 14.5-25.0). Risk difference was 7.0 fewer surgical deaths per 100 patients (CI: 1.3-12.7). Surgical patients aged 65 to 74 years had the largest difference in mortality with 11.2 fewer deaths per 100 (CI: 1.1-21.3). Discussion: Patients with axis fractures are predominantly older Caucasian women and have a higher mortality rate than the general population. Propensity-weighted mortality at 1-year was lower in the surgical patients with the largest risk difference occurring in patients 65 to 74 years old. Conclusions: Surgery may provide an independent survival benefit in patients aged 65 to 75 years, and the mortality difference diminishes thereafter.
title: Tracing genome evolution: from ancestral karyotypes to current genomes in three mammalian clades
Creators: name: Arias Sardá, Cristina
Publisher: name: University of Kent
Year: 2023

description: Mammals show a wide range of chromosomic diversity. Their karyotypes range from 2n=6/7 in the Indian muntjac (Ruminantia) to 2n=102 in the Viscacha rat (Rodentia). Although the mammalian genome size is round 3.5 Gb, the mammalian average chromosome size is highly variable, including species with a high number of small chromosomes such as cattle (a ruminant with 2n=60 and an average chromosome size of 87 Mb), and species with a low number of big chromosomes such as Tasmanian devil (a marsupial with 2n=14 and an average chromosome size of 440 Mb). Identifying and timing when and where gross genomic rearrangements occurred during evolution will help to explain changes in genome structure with functional consequences that might eventually lead to speciation. Here we used DESCHRAMBLER to reconstruct eight ancestral genomes from three different lineages: Ruminantia, Marsupialia and Afrotheria. We classified the rearrangement events occurring in each lineage and identified the Evolutionary Breakpoints Regions (EBRs) and Homologous Synteny Blocks (HSBs). Cattle and African elephant showed the same number of well-defined EBRs, 32, while Tasmanian devil only showed 19. Marsupial and ruminant genomes are characterised by inversions, while interchromosomal rearrangements are also important in the oldest ancestor of ruminants and are the main rearrangement force in the afrotherians. These EBRs are located in gene-rich regions of the genome, and in ruminants and afrotherians, they are also located in regions with a high density of transposable elements (TEs). Moreover, we identified signatures of convergent evolution in mammals with an extreme range of both, diploid numbers and chromosome sizes, using representative species of the three lineages and searching for positive selection in their orthologous genes. We found that some genes under convergent evolution and positive selection were related to processes such as chromatin structure or DNA repair, such as MSH6 or RNF123, that, at the same time, are related to causes and consequences of chromosome rearrangements (CRs). Overall, our results significantly expand knowledge of genome evolution and will facilitate greater understanding of the role of CRs in mammalian evolution.

description: Central Asia is a home for 1% of the world population (74 mln), who need open access climatic data across the region for decision making. Five countries Uzbekistan, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan, and Turkmenistan, are united into a geographical region sharing history, economy and culture. However, they face different challenges in adapting to climatic changes. A severe cold or drought in one region requires an immediate response in upstream and downstream countries. Hence, local stakeholders are in need for comprehensive and up-to-date climatic information and datasets. The development of state of art information platform, i.e. Central Asian Climate Information Platform is a regional project funded by the World Bank and led by the Central Asia Regional Environmental Center (CAREC) and International Center for Agricultural Research in the Dry Areas (ICARDA).
The platform reflects the needs and expectations of local stakeholders on digital knowledge exchange. This presentation is about mechanisms used to engage stakeholders in the development process of the platform as a tool to match and calibrate interests of various stakeholders and groups. These include: Framing technical aspects of the platform, i.e. data access, language, accessibility; Building institutional ownership of the platform, like consortium approach vs. centralised data management; Feeding needs in data per target groups in a different knowledge frequency fostering capacity development. Development of the platform was informed through country consultations with different stakeholders, farmers, surveys and regional panel discussions. Lessons learned will be shared in the presentation.
Management Alternatives in Mastitis Control and Eradication Programs

Year: 1999

description: Herd management programs that are successful in eliminating contagious mastitis include dry cow therapy, segregation and selective culling. When infections involve Streptococcus agalactiae, lactation therapy is still successful although there has been an increase in the number of Strep ag isolates resistant to penicillin and other beta-lactum antibiotics. The major difficulties occur when Staphylococcus aureus is isolated as the primary pathogen in the herd. The primary source of these infections are infected glands and unless these reservoirs are eliminated, new infections will continue to occur. Uninfected cows are mainly exposed during milking but dry cows and prepartum heifers are still at risk when contagious pathogens are present in the lactating herd. Although the method of spread is unknown in nonlactating animals, heifers can become infected before calving with the same strains of organisms as found in the lactating cows.1 Once Staph aureus infections are eliminated from the lactating animals, the number of infected heifers at calving decreases and often disappears. This is most apparent in herds where Staph aureus has been rapidly eliminated from lactating cows where there is a concurrent rapid decrease in new infections in the heifers at calving. The links speculated as the sources of exposure include insect vectors,2 but the reservoir appears to be the adult lactating animal.1 Because of the spread to young uninfected animals as well as other cows, there is an incentive to try to eliminate these infections from lactating cows. Segregation is an important tool in reducing the risk of exposure at milking, but it does not address other sources of spread. However, many farms cannot create an additional group to segregate infected cows because the group is not the correct size or does not fit well with feeding groups. Likewise, most producers are unwilling to cull infected animals that are producing well and find that the poor response to antibiotic therapy in both lactating and dry cows is frustrating when trying to eliminate Staph aureus from their herds. Since Staph aureus infection can occur anytime during lactation, the longer the lactation and the older the animals, the greater the risk of becoming infected. Thus, herds that have younger cows and a high turnover rate often have a lower prevalence of Staph aureus infected cows, while well established herds with good longevity have greater exposure and accumulate more infections. It is these herds that are trying to retain cows and reach mature production that are often fighting problems with staphylococcal infections. However, no herd is exempt from Staph aureus, even with high turnover, especially if they are purchasing animals.

Bit by (Twitch) Bit: “Platform Capture” and the Evolution of Digital Platforms
Creators: name: Partin, William Clyde
Publisher: name: SAGE Publications Inc.
Year: 2020

description: This article considers the history of donation management tools on the livestreaming platform Twitch. In particular, it details the technical and economic contexts that led to the development of Twitch Bits, a first-party donation management service introduced in 2016. Two contributions to research on the platformization of cultural production are made. One, this article expands the empirical record regarding Twitch by chronicling the role of viewer donations in livestreaming since 2010, as well as the many tools that have facilitated this practice. It is argued that this history traces the complex and co-productive interactions between Twitch as a sociotechnical architecture and a political economy. Two, by considering how the first-party donation tool Twitch Bits has gradually challenged the dominance of the third-party tools that preceded it, this article theorizes the notion of platform capture, a critical rereading of platform envelopment, a popular concept in business studies. Ultimately, it is argued that platform capture demonstrates how platform owners leverage power asymmetries over dependents to aid in their platform’s technical evolution.

description: The estimation of high dimensional quantum states is an important statistical problem arising in current quantum technology applications. A key example is the tomography of multiple ions states, employed in the validation of state preparation in ion trap experiments \cite{Haffner2005}. Since full tomography becomes unfeasible even for a small number of ions, there is a need to investigate lower dimensional statistical models which capture prior information about the state, and to devise estimation methods tailored to such models. In this paper we propose several new methods aimed at the efficient estimation of low rank states in multiple ions tomography. All methods consist in first computing the least squares estimator, followed by its truncation to an appropriately chosen smaller rank. The latter is done by setting eigenvalues below a certain "noise level" to zero, while keeping the rest unchanged, or normalising them appropriately. We show that (up to logarithmic factors in the space dimension) the mean square error of the resulting estimators scales as $r\cdot d/N$ where $r$ is the rank, $d=2^k$ is the dimension of the Hilbert space, and $N$ is the number of quantum samples. Furthermore we establish a lower bound for the asymptotic minimax risk which shows that the above scaling is optimal. The performance of the estimators is analysed in an extensive simulations study, with emphasis on the dependence on the state rank, and the number of measurement repetitions. We find that all estimators perform significantly better that the least squares, with the "physical estimator" (which is a bona fide density matrix) slightly outperforming the other estimators.

description: Ferroic domain dynamics, as a function of external stimuli, can be collectively described as scale-invariant avalanches characterised by a critical exponent that are sensitive to the complexity of the domain microstructure. The understanding and manipulation of these avalanches lies at the heart of developing novel applications such as neuromorphic computing. Here we combine in situ heating optical observations and mean-field analysis to investigate the collective domain behaviour in pure-ferroelastic lanthanum aluminate (LaAlO[Formula: see text]) as a function of aspect ratio, the ratio of sample length to width, where the movement of the domains is predominantly driven by thermal stresses via thermal expansion/contraction during heat cycling. Our observations demonstrate that the aspect ratio induces (1) distinctive domain microstructures at room temperature, (2) a deviation of dynamical behaviour at high temperatures and (3) critical exponent mixing in the higher aspect ratio samples that accompanies this behaviour. While the critical exponents of each aspect ratio fall within mean-field predicted values, we highlight the effect that the aspect ratio has in inducing exponent mixing. Hence, furthering our understanding towards tuning and controlling avalanches which is crucial for fundamental and applied research.
Political Identity Ownership: Symbolic Contests to Represent Members of the Public

description: This study develops the concept of identity ownership to explain how, in the course of electioneering, candidates perform their own identities to align with groups whose support they seek. We frame this from a communication perspective—media are increasingly central sites for constructing and conveying the identity of candidates and the groups of constituents they seek to represent. In developing this model, we seek to bring this identity-based framework more to the fore in communication research, as well as place communication at the center of studies of social identity. We argue that seeing political identities as dynamic and actively performed provides an opportunity to analyze communications based not only on their informational value but also on their identity value.

description: Meiosis protein TEX12 is an essential component of the synaptonemal complex (SC), which mediates homologous chromosome synapsis. It is also recruited to centrosomes in meiosis, and aberrantly in certain cancers, leading to centrosome dysfunction. Within the SC, TEX12 forms an intertwined complex with SYCE2 that undergoes fibrous assembly, driven by TEX12's C-terminal tip. However, we hitherto lack structural information regarding SYCE2-independent functions of TEX12. Here, we report X-ray crystal structures of TEX12 mutants in three distinct conformations, and utilise solution light and X-ray scattering to determine its wild-type dimeric four-helical coiled-coil structure. TEX12 undergoes conformational change upon C-terminal tip mutations, indicating that the sequence responsible for driving SYCE2-TEX12 assembly within the SC also controls the oligomeric state and conformation of isolated TEX12. Our findings provide the structural basis for SYCE2-independent roles of TEX12, including the possible regulation of SC assembly, and its known functions in meiotic centrosomes and cancer.

description: The defaecation motor program in nematodes is controlled by the intestinal central pattern generator, coupled with propagating calcium waves and electrical membrane potential oscillations. Recent electrophysiological experiments in Heterorhabditis megidis have indicated that the intestinal cells of nematodes produce unusual all-or-none hyperpolarisation ‘action potential’ (HAP). HAP resembles the action potential generation in regular excitable tissues, neurons and myocytes, having the reversed polarity of current and voltage. It can be considered that rhythmic electrical potential generation in the intestinal cells is based on the cooperation of voltage-gated ion channels. Here we combined our electrophysiological study with molecular-genetics of the nematode intestine and recent single-cell RNA-seq open-access data of Caenorhabditis elegans. Single-cell RNA-seq data confirm the unique spectrum of the ion channel expression in the gut cells, which is highly distinct from other nematode tissues. We have compared electrophysiological data with the channel expression data from nematode tissues implementing regular action potential and HAP to find ion channel candidates that can fit HAP model.

description: The Stokes and anti-Stokes components in the inelastic scattering of light are related to phonon statistics and have been broadly used to measure temperature and phonon lifetimes in different materials. However, correlation between the components are expected to change the Stokes/anti-Stokes intensity ratio, imposing corrections to the broadly used Bose-Einstein statistics. Here the excitation power dependence of these scattering processes is theoretically described by an effective Hamiltonian that includes correlation between the Stokes and the anti-Stokes events. The model is used to fit available experimental results in three-dimensional diamond and two-dimensional graphene, showing that the phenomenon can significantly increase in the low-dimensional system under specific resonance conditions. By setting the scientific basis for the Stokes-anti-Stokes correlated phenomenon, the use of the Bose-Einstein population function for reasoning the inelastic scattering is generalized, providing a model to predict the conversion of optical phonons into heat or light, according to coupling constants and decay rates. The model applies to inelastic scattering in general.

In addition, a laboratory experiment was conducted to examine the effect of root exudates on hatching of the nematode populations. None of the pepper genotypes were found immune. However, ‘Acc.003’ and ‘Melka Awaze’ were found resistant, while ‘Oda Haro’ was susceptible to all populations tested. The hatching assay indicated that the root exudates had no significant effect on cumulative hatching. However, the time in which half of the population hatched varied significantly among the genotypes. After validation under field condition, the genotypes that were found resistant to both M. incognita and M. javanica could be used in areas infested with species complex in the country to enhance hot pepper productivity.

description: In Einstein equation, there is seen an absence of a gravity field as a source of another gravity field. That is why for the Einstein equation solutions, the local law of energy-momentum conservation is not true. Lass proposed a homogeneous metric. Based on this metric, we obtained the exact metric of a homogeneous gravitational field. This metric generates a plausible field energy density and regular vacuum tensions. The exact metric of homogeneous fields does not belong to Einstein equation solutions. That is why, the problem arouses of constructing of a gravity field equation based on new principles.

description: Scaffolds that are used for bone repair should provide an adequate environment for biomineralization by mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs). Recently, decellularized pulp matrices (DPM) have been utilized in endodontics for their high regenerative potential. Inspired by the dystrophic calcification on the pulp matrix known as pulp stone, we developed acellular pulp bioscaffolds and examined their potential in facilitating MSCs mineralization for bone defect repair. Pulp was decellularized, then retention of its structural integrity was confirmed by histological, mechanical, and biochemical evaluations. MSCs were seeded and proliferation, osteogenic gene expression, and biomineralization were assessed to verify DPM’s osteogenic effects in vitro. MicroCT, energy-dispersive X-ray (EDX), and histological analyses were used to confirm that DPM seeded with MSCs result in greater mineralization on rat critical-sized defects than that without MSCs. Overall, our study proves DPM’s potential to serve as a scaffolding material for MSC-mediated bone regeneration for future craniofacial bone tissue engineering.

description: Forty tomato genotypes were screened through conventional (artificial inoculations in pots) followed by marker assisted selection (MAS) to identify stable resistant sources to the root-knot nematode (RKN) (Meloidogyne incognita). ‘IIHR-2786’ was used as the resistant and ‘IIHR-2265’ as the susceptible controls. Three lines, ‘IIHR-2963’, ‘IIHR-2964’ and ‘IIHR-2805’, were highly resistant and nine lines, ‘IIHR-2965’, ‘IIHR-2786’, ‘IIHR-2614’, ‘IIHR-2785’, ‘IIHR-2806’, ‘IIHR-2809’, ‘IIHR-2810’, ‘IIHR2814’ and ‘IIHR-2815’ were found resistant through conventional screening with pot tests. The experiment was conducted twice to confirm the result and to check the stability of resistance source(s). Cluster analysis was done to classify the genotypes into different clusters and the highest inter cluster distance was found between cluster IV and V followed by III and V, which implied that the crosses between those genotypes that were grouped in these clusters may provide maximum heterosis upon hybridisation. In addition, there is a strong probability of obtaining transgressive segregants in further generations. The genotypes together with new hybrid combinations involving resistant × susceptible genotypes were then screened for Mi gene using linked molecular markers, which are linked to the Mi locus conferring resistance to RKN. The lines ‘IIHR-2963’, ‘IIHR-2964’, ‘IIHR-2805’, ‘IIHR-2965’, ‘IIHR-2614’, ‘IIHR-2785’, ‘IIHR-2806’, ‘IIHR2809’, ‘IIHR-2810’, ‘IIHR-2814’ and ‘IIHR-2815’ plus ‘IIHR-2786’, amplified the expected product size of the resistant allele. By contrast, ‘IIHR-2265’, the susceptible control, and all other susceptible lines generated the product size of susceptible allele showing the absence of Mi locus. The hybrids generated both size amplicons and were, therefore, heterozygous for the resistant locus (Mi) and were also found to be phenotypically resistant, which indicated that the resistance to RKN is governed by dominate gene action and also shows that the use of these co-dominant molecular markers in MAS is effective because of their ability to distinguish between heterozygous and homozygous individuals, resulting in reducing the breeding cycles for developing stable (non-segregating) resistant advance breeding lines.

description: Background: Cystic fibrosis (CF) is a genetic disease that may result in multiple systemic disorders and potentially fatal severe respiratory compromise. However, the advent of CF transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) modulators has changed the management of CF for patients with select mutations. Although clinical trials have highlighted increased pulmonary function and decreased exacerbations as a result of these novel therapies, their effect on the sinuses has not been well-described. Objective: Our objective is to review the CFTR modulators to provide otolaryngologists, physicians who frequently care for patients with CF, a basic understanding of these drugs and their effects on chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS) in patients with CF. Methods: The clinically approved and available CFTR modulators and specific indications for their use are reviewed. Additionally, a systematic review of these therapies and effects on CRS in CF was performed. Results: Four Food and Drug Administration approved CFTR modulators are available for patients with CF. Current drugs are approved for gating, residual function, or F508del mutations. Multiple reports describe CFTR modulators’ increase in transepithelial ion transport in nasal epithelial cultures; however, clinical studies regarding effects of these modulators on sinonasal health are limited to 5 studies that present new data of the effects of CFTR modulators in CRS. Conclusions: CFTR modulators have changed management of CF. Initial studies of these medications demonstrate promising results in CF; however, there is a paucity of literature describing the effect of CFTR modulators on CF-associated CRS, although initial results are encouraging.

description: Raspberry (Rubus idaeus) polytunnels in Morocco’s Souss-Massa region were surveyed between February and April 2018. The study was aimed to investigate the diversity and incidence of plant-parasitic nematodes affecting raspberry crop and to assess the effects of soil physico-chemical properties on the nematodes. Twelve nematode genera were identified form the soil and root samples collected from 41 raspberry polytunnels across the three provinces (Belfaa, Biougra and Khmis Ait Aimra). The most common plant-parasitic nematodes (PPN) were Pratylenchus spp., Meloidogyne spp. and Helicotylenchus spp. In terms of their abundance and frequency, four PPN (Pratylenchus spp., Meloidogyne spp., Helicotylenchus spp. and Tylenchus spp.) were abundant and frequent throughout the region. Several genera of nematodes were significantly associated with soil texture, organic matter and pH, which indicate that soil properties play an important role in PPN communities. This description of PPN assemblages associated with red raspberry polytunnels in Souss-Massa region provides a starting point from which further studies will be implemented for the other regions of Morocco cultivating raspberries, and to develop efficient management strategies.

title: Using observational cohort data from Key populations to plan HIV intervention studies

description: Background: Globally, new HIV-infections continue to occur mostly in Sub-Saharan Africa despite the known-to-work HIV-prevention interventions. Suboptimal adherence to the available HIV prevention interventions is cited. Vaccination could help minimise non-adherence to an HIV preventive intervention but does require the completion of the full vaccination schedule. An HIV vaccine would be a useful addition to HIV prevention packages, but vaccines need assessment in efficacy trials and investigators need suitable populations for trials. Key populations including Fisher-folks (FF) and Female Sex Workers (FSW) in Uganda could be useful. However, available data for planning trials in these populations come from observational cohorts and evidence suggests that trial environment and/or participants selection could differ from observational cohorts, which could alter trial targeted outcomes. This difference was investigated using Simulated HIV-vaccine efficacy trials (SiVETs); a trial that mimicked an HIV vaccine efficacy trial using a proxy vaccine. Methods: Two SiVETs were nested within observational cohorts of FF (2012 – 2014) and FSW (2014-2017). The SiVETs screened and enrolled participants from observational cohorts, and administered a licensed Hepatitis B vaccine at 0, 1 and 6 months as a proxy for an HIV-vaccine. Over the 12 month follow-up, SiVETs conducted HIV testing, risk behaviour assessment, and promoted and provided reliable contraceptives to women. Results: In total, there were 3989 [1575 FF & 2414 FSW] participants in the observational cohorts and 572 [282 FF & 290 FSW] of these were enrolled into SiVETs. There were significant differences between characteristics of participants in SiVETs and those in the observational cohorts. At 12-months, HIV incidence and risk behaviours were higher in the observational cohorts than SiVETs while retention was lower. Promotion and provision of reliable contraceptives in SiVETs increased the proportion of women using them from 55% at baseline to >90% at the end of vaccination. Conclusion: Researchers designing HIV efficacy trials using observational data in these and similar populations need to consider potential for changes in the targeted trial outcomes following recruitment into trials and its effect on trial statistical power.
