description: Background: Conservatism in climatic tolerance may limit geographic range expansion and should enhance the effects of habitat fragmentation on population subdivision. Here we study the effects of historical climate change, and the associated habitat fragmentation, on diversification in the mostly sub-Saharan cucurbit genus Coccinia, which has 27 species in a broad range of biota from semi-arid habitats to mist forests. Species limits were inferred from morphology, and nuclear and plastid DNA sequence data, using multiple individuals for the widespread species. Climatic tolerances were assessed from the occurrences of 1189 geo-referenced collections and WorldClim variables.Results: Nuclear and plastid gene trees included 35 or 65 accessions, representing up to 25 species. The data revealed four species groups, one in southern Africa, one in Central and West African rain forest, one widespread but absent from Central and West African rain forest, and one that occurs from East Africa to southern Africa. A few individuals are differently placed in the plastid and nuclear (LFY) trees or contain two ITS sequence types, indicating hybridization. A molecular clock suggests that the diversification of Coccinia began about 6.9 Ma ago, with most of the extant species diversity dating to the Pliocene. Ancestral biome reconstruction reveals six switches between semi-arid habitats, woodland, and forest, and members of several species pairs differ significantly in their tolerance of different precipitation regimes.Conclusions: The most surprising findings of this study are the frequent biome shifts (in a relatively small clade) over just 6 - 7 million years and the limited diversification during and since the Pleistocene. Pleistocene climate oscillations may have been too rapid or too shallow for full reproductive barriers to develop among fragmented populations of Coccinia, which would explain the apparently still ongoing hybridization between certain species. Steeper ecological gradients in East Africa and South Africa appear to have resulted in more advanced allopatric speciation there.

description: Background: Due to spread of smart phones, opportunity to train patients with diabetes and communicate with them using social media is rising. Aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of training through two popular social networks in Iran (“Telegram” and “Soroush”) and the metabolic control of people with Type 2 diabetes.


Methods: In this randomized controlled trial, we recruited 134 patients with type 2 diabetes, which randomly allocated into two groups: the intervention and the control group on a 1:1 basis. The intervention comprised a training package that delivered to the intervention group via social media for 45 days. The primary outcome measures included awareness of diabetes management and physical activity level while secondary outcome measures were HbA1c and lipid profile.


Results: Social network training led to the increase of the patients' awareness (44.31±2.78 to 46.88±2.25 in intervention group vs. 44.14±3.85 to 44.41±3.87 in control group) and physical activities level (23.64±8.46 to 31.68±7.12 in intervention group vs. 26.20±9.39 to 30.20±8.11 in control group) (p-value<0.001). Besides, LDL and HDL levels, and HbA1c (8.19±2.10 to 8.05±1.96 in intervention group vs. 7.53±1.67 to 7.45±1.34 in control group) decreased significantly (p-value<0.05).


Conclusions: Changes in lifestyle and challenges of the patients' attendance in diabetes training sessions, declared that use of social networkscan be useful to train diabetes patients remotely, and it is feasible to send training messages to help them improve their diabetes care.

title: Philip Seymour Hoffman- der Glanz der Nebenrolle
Creators: name: Christian, Judith
Year: 2013

description: In „Philip Seymour Hoffman- der Glanz der Nebenrolle“ wird über eine „analytische Betrachtung“ der Werdegang des Schauspielers veranschaulicht. Die Biographie des Künstlers in den Bereichen Theater und Film, als auch die von ihm als Schauspieler angewandte Arbeitsweise waren die Basis für meine Forschungsarbeit. Über die Darstellung seiner Schauspieltechnik und die damit einhergehende Grundlage, welche vor allen Dingen auf den Theoretiker Konstantin Stanislawski zurück zu führen ist, konnte der Ursprung der Schauspielkunst Philip Seymour Hoffmans aufgezeigt werden. Eine eingehende Beschäftigung mit der Besetzung Philip Seymour Hoffmans in der Nebenrolle führte zu der Erkenntnis, dass die Physiognomie eines Darstellers zur Kategorisierung in ein gewisses Charakterfach beiträgt, welches sich bei Hoffman vor allen Dingen auf den „Außenseiter“ bezieht. Außerdem war es wichtig, hierbei auch die historische Prägung der Schauspielkunst mit ein zu beziehen, die durchaus Aufschluss über diese Art von typisierender Einstufung gab. Weiters war es von Bedeutung die Herangehensweise Hoffmans an seine Rollenarbeit über die Entwicklung und den daraus folgenden Umgang mit einem Charakter dar zu stellen. Durch eine kurze Analyse einer Filmszene war es möglich dies verständlich zu machen. Die Skizzierung der Zusammenarbeit zwischen Hoffman und dem Regisseur Paul Thomas Anderson machte deutlich, dass die Rollenbesetzung, welche er seinem Schauspieler zuordnet, mit der Typisierung des „Außenseiters“ zusammenhängend ist. Eine Analyse des Filmes „The Master“, in welchem Hoffman die Titelrolle mimt, konnte veranschaulichen, wie genau Anderson in seiner Arbeit als Filmregisseur als auch im Austausch mit dem Schauspieler vorgeht. Ein interessanter Aspekt für die Untersuchung der Arbeitsweise Hoffmans war vor allen Dingen seine Darstellung als Jago in der Theaterinszenierung Peter Sellars während der Wiener Festwochen. Die neuartige Interpretation des Stückes „Othello“ durch den Regisseur und die damit einhergehende differenzierte Sichtweise des Rollencharakters „Jago“ durch Hoffman waren ausschlaggebend für den Erfolg von Hoffmans Performance. Die genaue Auseinandersetzung mit der Rollenarbeit Hoffmans am Charakter Truman Capote´s zeigte, wie professionell und gewissenhaft der darstellende Künstler sich einer Rolle annähert und auf diese Weise erfolgreich ist. Ferner wurde über die Kooperation mit Bennett Miller deutlich, wie wichtig die Kenntnis eines Regisseurs über das Erzielen der gewünschten Qualität eines Darstellers für seinen Film ist. Meine Diplomarbeit kommt also zu der Conclusio, dass der Erfolg Philip Seymour Hoffmans der Fähigkeit zur Darstellung komplexer Charaktere, einer eingehenden Recherche und Auseinandersetzung mit einer Rolle und der Physiognomie des Schauspielers zugrunde liegt.

description: As a result of his botanical explorations in northern Australia, Ferdinand von Mueller named several Cucurbitaceae that molecular data now show to be distinct, requiring their resurrection from unjustified synonymy. We here describe and illustrate Luffa saccata F. Muell. ex I.Telford, validating a manuscript name listed under L. graveolens Roxb. since 1859, and we lectotypify Cucumis picrocarpus F. Muell. and C. jucundus F. Muell. The lectotype of the name C. jucundus, a synonym of C. melo, is mounted on the same sheet as the lectotype of C. picrocarpus, which is the sister species of the cultivated C. melo as shown in a recent publication.

description: Background: The Cucurbitaceae genus Trichosanthes comprises 90-100 species that occur from India to Japan and southeast to Australia and Fiji. Most species have large white or pale yellow petals with conspicuously fringed margins, the fringes sometimes several cm long. Pollination is usually by hawkmoths. Previous molecular data for a small number of species suggested that a monophyletic Trichosanthes might include the Asian genera Gymnopetalum (four species, lacking long petal fringes) and Hodgsonia (two species with petals fringed). Here we test these groups’ relationships using a species sampling of c. 60% and 4759 nucleotides of nuclear and plastid DNA. To infer the time and direction of the geographic expansion of the Trichosanthes clade we employ molecular clock dating and statistical biogeographic reconstruction, and we also address the gain or loss of petal fringes.Results: Trichosanthes is monophyletic as long as it includes Gymnopetalum, which itself is polyphyletic. The closest relative of Trichosanthes appears to be the sponge gourds, Luffa, while Hodgsonia is more distantly related. Of six morphology-based sections in Trichosanthes with more than one species, three are supported by the molecular results; two new sections appear warranted. Molecular dating and biogeographic analyses suggest an Oligocene origin of Trichosanthes in Eurasia or East Asia, followed by diversification and spread throughout the Malesian biogeographic region and into the Australian continent.Conclusions: Long-fringed corollas evolved independently in Hodgsonia and Trichosanthes, followed by two losses in the latter coincident with shifts to other pollinators but not with long-distance ispersal events. Together with the Caribbean Linnaeosicyos, the Madagascan Ampelosicyos and the tropical African Telfairia, these cucurbit lineages represent an ideal system for more detailed studies of the evolution and function of petal fringes in plant-pollinator mutualisms.

Progress in Stabilization and Reconstruction Operations: Can the U.S. learn?
Creators: name: Blair, Katherine M.
Publisher: name: American University
Year: 2023

description: This study seeks to answer understand whether or not the United States has learned from its past in stabilization and reconstruction operations. To answer this question, this work constructs a new theoretical model of foreign policy learning and presents two case studies to explore if learning occurred and to determine if conducting more rigorous tests of the theory is a worthwhile endeavor. To do so, the study utilizes a plausibility-probe research design. The cases selected as plausibility probes cover security sector reform and civil-military relations in US experiences in Vietnam, Afghanistan, and Iraq. This study concludes that the theoretical framework is helpful in illustrating intervening and interacting factors that can interrupt or block learning cycles, and that the civil-military relations case study, on the Civil Operations and Revolutionary Development Support (CORDS) program and the Provincial Reconstruction Teams (PRTs) should be used to more rigorously test the theory.

description: Recent years have seen increasingly severe natural disasters, the consequences of which have been catastrophic. Clearly, our global environment is undergoing major changes. The climate is becoming deranged and pollution on a global scale afflicts air, water, and land. We are faced with an unprecedented shortage of cultivable land and fresh water for drinking, irrigation, and livestock farming, while our marine systems are breaking down.  These environmental changes are anthropogenic; they are caused by human activities that are potentially dangerous for both the environment and human life. Moreover, not only do they have an enormous impact on the environments in which we live and on our way of life, they also have harmful effects on our health. Indeed, we must understand that our body - as Hippocrates explained long ago - is a system that constantly interacts with the surrounding environment.

description: Introduction: One of the methods to promote pre-diabetic patients’ adherence to preventive behaviors and improving their lifestyle is to pay attention to their needs in the designed educational programs. Therefore, this study was conducted with the aim of identifying the needs of individuals with prediabetes.


Methodology:


Three databases, including ISI/Web of Sciences, PubMed, Scopus were searched without time limitation until August 2022. The quality of the included studies was assessed using the Critical Appraisal Skills Programme tool. This study was reported according to the Enhancing Transparency in Reporting the Synthesis of Qualitative Research guidelines and to achieve the research goal, Sandelowski and Barroso's seven-step meta-synthesis method (2007) was used. Thematic synthesis was used to analyses the data.


 


Results: Out of the 1934 studies obtained, 34 studies were finally examined and 805 codes were recorded based on the extracted data. Through synthesizing and analyzing the primary studies, 8 main themes were extracted regarding individuals’ needs in the prediabetes stage: Information needs, Cultural needs, Psychological needs, Social support needs, Education needs, Financial needs, Service needs and Skill needs.


Discussion and Conclusion: In addition to paying attention to the needs mentioned in other studies regarding activity, nutrition, social support, stress and emotions management, and monitoring the prediabetes condition, the present study examines the other aspects of the needs of individuals with prediabetes such as educational, service, skill, and cultural needs. Moreover, it also explains the perceived needs and their types in each of the dimensions in detail. It can be a proper guide for designing educational programs and various interventions to control the prediabetes condition, leading to a reduction in the prevalence of type 2 diabetes in the society.

description: The MPIP data set was used to obtain a model for mortality risk stratification of acute myocardial infarction patients. The predictors heart rate turbulence (HRT) and left-ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) were employed. HRT was a categorical variable of three levels; LVEF was continuous and its influence on the relative risk was explained by the natural logarithm function (found using fractional polynomials). Cox - PH model with HRT and lnLVEF was constructed and used for risk stratification. The model can be used to divide the patients into two or more groups according to mortality risk. It also describes the relationship between risk and predictors by a (continuous) function, which allows the calculation of individual mortality risk.

description: Despite a sophisticated research on modelling of survival data in the last years, the most popular model used in practice is still the proportional hazards regression model proposed by Cox (1972). This is mainly due to its exceptional simplicity. Nevertheless the fundamental assumption of the Cox model is the proportionality of the hazards, which particularly implies that the covariate effects are constant over time. For many applications this assumption is, however, doubtful. Other, more flexible approaches, which are able to cope with non-proportional hazards usually require non-standard estimation techniques, which are often rather complex and thus not favoured in application. Moreover, the selection of an appropriate test-statistic, to examine the improvement of the fit, is not obvious. In this paper we propose a flexible, yet simple method for modelling dynamic effects in survival data within the Cox framework. The method is based on Fractional Polynomials as introduced by Royston and Altman (1994). This allows for a transformation of the dynamic predictor which leads back to the conventional Cox model and hence fitting is straightforward using standard estimation techniques. In addition, it offers the possibility to easily verify the existence of time-variation. We describe a model selection algorithm which enables to include time-varying effects only when evidence is given in the data, in order to construct a model, which is just as complex as needed. We illustrate the properties of the approach in a simulation study and an application to gastric carcinoma data and compare it with other methods (e.g. the residual score test and smoothed Schoenfeld residuals of Grambsch and Therneau, 1994; natural smoothing splines of Hastie and Tibshirani, 1993).

description: Gaussian Markov random field (GMRF) models are commonly used to model spatial correlation in disease mapping applications. For Bayesian inference by MCMC, so far mainly single-site updating algorithms have been considered. However, convergence and mixing properties of such algorithms can be extremely bad due to strong dependencies of parameters in the posterior distribution. In this paper, we propose various block sampling algorithms in order to improve the MCMC performance. The methodology is rather general, allows for non-standard full conditionals, and can be applied in a modular fashion in a large number of different scenarios. For illustration we consider three different models: two formulations for spatial modelling of a single disease (with and without additional unstructured parameters respectively), and one formulation for the joint analysis of two diseases. We apply the proposed algorithms to two datasets known from the literature. The results indicate that the largest benefits are obtained if parameters and the corresponding hyperparameter are updated jointly in one large block. In certain situations, even updating of all or nearly all parameters in one block may be necessary. Implementation of such block algorithms is surprisingly easy using methods for fast sampling of Gaussian Markov random fields (Rue, 2000). By comparison, estimates of the relative risk and related quantities, such as the posterior probability of an exceedence relative risk, based on single-site updating, can be rather misleading, even for very long runs. Our results may have wider relevance for efficient MCMC simulation in hierarchical models with Markov random field components.

description: In this paper, we analyze unemployment duration in Germany with official data from the German Federal Employment Office for the years 1980-1995. Conventional hazard rate models for leaving unemployment cannot cope with simultaneous and flexible fitting of duration dependence, nonlinear covariate effects, trend and seasonal calendar time components and a large number of regional effects. We apply a semiparametric hierarchical Bayesian modelling approach that is suitable for time-space analysis of unemployment duration by simultaneously including and estimating effects of several time scales, regional variation and further covariates. Inference is fully Bayesian and uses recent Markov chain Monte Carlo techniques.

description: Objectives: the authors aim to show the possibility of stigma that hits affected Mpox patients because of the statements of society involving their sexual sphere.
Design: 23 July 2022, the Director-General of the WHO, Thedos Ghebreyesus, issued an international public health alert regarding cases of Mpox (formerly known as Monkeypox). Although Mpox has been present in an endemic form for years in some Central African countries, the spread of the disease outside Africa has aroused considerable alarm in populations already sorely afflicted by the Covid-19 pandemic. Aside from the data, what is striking is that Mpox, like other infectious diseases, seems to have become a problem only when it began to cross the borders of Africa. Some may justify this attitude simply by ascribing it to the fear of an epidemic outside the areas where the virus is endemic. However, in such cases, and especially after the Covid-19 experience, other factors are also involved: lack of information and, even more so, the human capacity to utilise diseases to reinforce arguments against the tendencies, inclinations, orientations and behaviours of some social groups. Such information, albeit basically correct, is nevertheless incomplete. Moreover, it tends to prompt a view of this disease that may give rise to highly dangerous and embarrassing situations, engendering the risk of repeating the error that was made about AIDS. Mpox is the latest in a series of epidemics that have struck humanity in the space of very few years.
Setting and partecipants: People and social groups who, due to sexual orientations and behaviours, are considered to be at risk of being infected with Mpox.
Main outcomes measures: - outcomes directly related to mental health of Mpox patients: anxiety, fear and depression, emotional difficulties, feelings of loneliness and isolation; - well-being outcomes of people with Mpox; - c. risk of not being able to reduce the epidemic among those groups don’t feel as though they belong to LGBTQ and therefore do not implement any kind of prevention.
Results: Limit the contagion from Mpox through specific health and communication campaigns. Remove any stigma related to Mpox disease.
Conclusions: In the face of this disease, it is absolutely essential that we do not needlessly isolate groups of people by feeding stigma, prejudice and discrimination, which can have devastating effects not only on individuals but also on society as a whole. As the full inclusion of persons of LGBTQ community is probably still a long way off, we must surely wonder when we will be ready enough to achieve the important objective of equality for all.

description: In recent decades, also driven by the European Union, aquaculture has undergone significant development to meet the increasing demand for seafood products. However, the concentration of efforts and resources in the fishing industry raises complex ethical issues that have yet to be fully explored, concerning animal welfare, environmental impact, and social justice. Balancing economic interests with environmental and ethical concerns is a challenging yet crucial task to ensuring a sustainable future for aquaculture. The adoption of ethical values in the fishing industry not only promotes sustainability but also fosters consumer trust in responsible food sourcing. Interventions such as developing animal welfare standards, implementing sustainable farming techniques, adopting environmental management policies, and promoting ethically responsible business practices are pivotal. A multidimensional approach is essential to ensure an ethical and sustainable future for aquaculture, critical for global food security and marine environmental well-being. This holistic approach requires collaborative efforts from various stakeholders, including policymakers, researchers, industry players, and consumers, to address the multifaceted challenges faced by the aquaculture sector. Additionally, raising awareness among consumers about the impact of their choices on the environment and animal welfare can further drive the demand for ethically produced seafood and encourage responsible practices within the industry.

Probing neutrino invisible decay with KM3NeT/ORCA6.
Creators: name: Carretero, Víctor
Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2022

description: KM3NeT is a research infrastructure that will house a network of next-generation neutrino detectors located in the seabed of the Mediterranean Sea. The infrastructure is currently under construction and consists in two configurations: atmospheric neutrino oscillation research at GeV energies (ORCA) and detecting high-energy cosmic neutrinos from Galactic and extra-Galactic sources (ARCA). The selection of a high-purity neutrino sample taken with the first 6 Detection Units deployed in the ORCA detector has been analysed in search for invisible neutrino decay signal. A three flavour neutrino oscillation scenario where the third neutrino mass state, ν3, decays into a sterile neutrino is considered. The bound found in the decay parameter, α3 = m3/τ3 , will be presented in this contribution alongside with future sensitivity perspectives with the full ORCA configuration of 115 detection units.
