description: Phosphatidic acid (PA) is known to be a crucial phospholipid intermediate in cell membrane biosynthesis. In Escherichia coli, this molecule is produced from lysophosphatidic acid (LPA) by LPA acyltransferase (EC 2.3.1.51), encoded by plsC. E coli possesses only one such LPA acyltransferase and a plsC mutant is non-permissive for growth at elevated temperatures. This study describes the identification and characterization of two genes from Pseudomonas fluorescens F113 that encode enzymes with LPA acyltransferase activity. One of the genes, hdtS, was previously described, whereas patB is a novel gene. In addition, a putative lyso-ornithine lipid acyltransferase was also identified. All three proteins possess conserved acyltransferase domains and are homologous to PlsC and to LPA acyltransferases identified in Neisseria meningitidis. Functional analysis determined that both HdtS and PatB are functional LPA acyltransferases, as both complemented an E. coli plsC mutant. Mutants lacking each of the putative acyltransferases were constructed and analysed. Growth defects were observed for hdtS and patB single mutants, and a double hdtSpatB mutant could not be constructed. To determine precise roles in phospholipid synthesis, fatty acid methyl ester analysis was carried out. The hdtS mutant displayed a profile consistent with a defect in LPA acyltransferase activity, whereas no such phenotype was observed in the patB mutant, indicating that hdts encodes the primary LPA acyltransferase in the cell. The presence of at least two genes specifying LPA acyltransferase activity may have implications for the function and survival of P. fluorescens in diverse environments. © 2005 SGM.

description: Changes in the cellular envelope are major physiological adaptations that occur when micro-organisms encounter extreme environmental conditions. An appropriate degree of membrane fluidity is crucial for survival, and alteration of membrane lipids is an essential adaptive response. Emerging data suggest that microbial cells may recognize alterations in their membrane viscosity resulting from certain environmental changes as a trigger for adaptive cellular responses. In Pseudomonas aeruginosa, the quorum-sensing (QS) system involves a complex regulatory circuitry that coordinates the expression of genes according to a critical population density. Interestingly, it has been shown that the QS system of P. aeruginosa can also be activated by nutritional stress, independently of the cell density, and therefore may be part of a more general adaptive response to stressful environmental conditions. In order to examine the proposed link between membrane properties and stress signalling, the effects of genetically engineered alterations of the membrane phospholipid composition of P. aeruginosa PAO1 on the activation of the stringent response and the QS system were examined. The lptA gene encoding a functional homologue of PlsC, an Escherichia coli enzyme that catalyses the second step of the phospholipid biosynthesis pathway, was identified and disrupted. Inactivation of lptA altered the fatty acid profile of phospholipids and the membrane properties, resulting in decreased membrane fluidity. This resulted in a premature production of the QS signals N-butanoyl- and N-hexanoyl-homoserine lactone (C4-HSL and C6-HSL) and a repression of 2-heptyl-3-hydroxy-4-quinolone (PQS) synthesis at later growth phases. The effects on C4- and C6-HSL depended upon the expression of relA, encoding the (p)ppGpp alarmone synthase, which was increased in the lptA mutant. Together, the findings support the concept that alterations in membrane properties can act as a trigger for stress-related gene expression. © 2005 SGM.

description: Melioidosis, a febrile illness with disease states ranging from acute pneumonia or septicaemia to chronic abscesses, was first documented by Whitmore & Krishnaswami (1912). The causative agent, Burkholderia pseudomallei, was subsequently identified as a motile, gram-negative bacillus, which is principally an environmental saprophyte. Melioidosis has become an increasingly important disease in endemic areas such as northern Thailand and Australia (Currie et al., 2000). This health burden, plus the classification of B. pseudomallei as a category B biological agent (Rotz et al., 2002), has resulted in an escalation of research interest. This review focuses on the molecular and cellular basis of pathogenesis in melioidosis, with a comprehensive overview of the current knowledge on how B. pseudomallei can cause disease. The process of B. pseudomallei movement from the environmental reservoir to attachment and invasion of epithelial and macrophage cells and the subsequent intracellular survival and spread is outlined. Furthermore, the diverse assortment of virulence factors that allow B. pseudomallei to become an effective opportunistic pathogen, as well as to avoid or subvert the host immune response, is discussed. With the recent increase in genomic and molecular studies, the current understanding of the infection process of melioidosis has increased substantially, yet, much still remains to be elucidated. © 2009 Federation of European Microbiological Societies.

Publisher: name: La Trobe
Year: 2023

description: Aim: This exploratory study assessed (1) the associations between three major types of social support (perceived, actual and structural) and post-injury daily functioning and (2) the ability of subjective–objective social support dyads to predict rehabilitation outcome among traumatic spinal cord injury (SCI) patients one-year postdischarge.
Method: Using a prospective study design, 20 SCI patients of workforce age discharged from the Royal Talbot Rehabilitation Hospital, Melbourne, Australia during 2007 were assessed on a range of demographic, injury and social support variables. Post-injury daily functioning was assessed 12-months post-discharge.
Results: Bivariate analyses revealed that the three major types of social support were associated with better post-injury daily functioning. Multivariate analyses revealed that the dyad of (subjective) perceived social support and (objective) community integration was the best predictor of successful rehabilitation outcome. For all three social support dyads, the subjective component contributed greater unique variance to the overall predictive ability of the model than did the accompanying objective component.
Conclusions: Use of psychometrically sound scales that incorporate objective and subjective measures of social support may provide a more effective means of evaluating the contribution of social support to rehabilitation outcome, plus indicate whether desired social support levels satisfactorily match those received.

description: This paper presents the investigation of flame response during a transverse combustion instability in a small-scale rocket engine via numerical simulation. The computation is performed in the framework of Large-Eddy Simulation with the objective to understand the physical mechanisms driving the contribution of the unsteady combustion to the unstable mode. Two simulations are considered: first, a computation of the full engine, including the injection manyfold, the 42 coaxial injectors, the combustion chamber and the outlet nozzle. Then a single injector is considered for the scrutiny of individual flame response. The analysis of the unstable transverse mode in the full configuration reveals the contribution of individual flames through a budget of acoustic energy. The single-injector configuration exhibits the different roles of the hydrogen and oxygen flows in the flame response.

W(h)ither gatekeeping? Academic publishing and peer review in complex networked systems

description: Digitalisation, the Internet, open access initiatives, and trends towards multidisciplinary scholarship are affecting academic publishing practices in diverse ways. In this essay I focus on questions, problems and issues of academic “gatekeeping” (the conventional quality assurance role of journal editors and reviewers) that arise in complex networked systems. These include the diminishing likelihood of any peer reviews being “blind”, alternatives to peer review made possible by open access publishing, and the unpredictable emergence (cf. planned production) of knowledge within complex, open systems and networks. I argue that these circumstances require that we reconceptualise academic gatekeeping in terms of facilitating boundary crossings, transgressions and transformations, rather than as policing traditional or arbitrary boundaries and borders.

Stereotype Darstellungen okinawanischer Figuren in Nakae Yūjis Film Nabī no koi
Creators: name: Tomic, Marija
Publisher: name: MINIKOMI: Austrian Journal of Japanese Studies
Year: 2022

description: The following article discusses the film Nabī no koi (Nabbie’s Love, 1999) by Japanese director Nakae Yūji. The movie was released at the beginning of the so called ‘Okinawa boom’ in Japan in the 1990s and contributed significantly to promoting Okinawa as an idyllic paradise to people from the Japanese main islands. Since Nakae intended to depict everyday life of the Okinawan people, this article explores what images of Okinawa are actually (re)created within the film and how these can be read in the context of the tense political and cultural relationship between Okinawa and Japan. By analysing the main and secondary characters, it will be determined whether Nabī no koi breaks down or reproduces the dichotomy of a progressive Japan and a regressive Okinawa and how the aspect of gender is used to enforce that very dichotomy. Based on this analysis it will be shown whether Nabī no koi depicts Okinawa as part of the Japanese main islands or not.

The marine gastropod Conomurex fasciatus (Born 1778) is the main component of thousands of shell middens on the Farasan Islands in the southern Red Sea. The middens date from 6500 to 4500 cal BP and cover the period of increased aridification over the region. No general research on C. fasciatus has been carried out before and basic information about the species is mostly speculative. To test if C. fasciatus shells can be used as a recorder of climate variability, we collected living specimens from the Farasan Islands, in Saudi Arabia, over a 1.5 year period. This area receives almost no precipitation and sea surface salinity is extremely high (38–39 psu), and sea surface temperature (SST) ranges from +26.5 °C to +34.9 °C. Raman spectroscopy results on modern C. fasciatus shell samples show these specimens to be aragonitic. Ground fragments from archaeological C. fasciatus shells used for isotope analyses were also measured by Raman spectroscopy and shown to be well preserved against diagenetic alterations leading to aragonite to calcite transformation. Measured shell-edge δ18O values range from −0.5‰ to −1.7‰. Calculated modern shell edge temperatures from these δ18O values correlate with modern SST measured on site with an error of ±2.4 °C. Two different growth rates occurred in the shells of C. fasciatus. The measurement of growth increments in the lip part of adult specimens indicates a tide-related growth rate of ∼13 mm/year. Sequential δ18O data from juvenile parts of the shell indicates a faster growth rate of ∼90 mm/year. This growth rate and the correlation of δ18O with measured temperatures allows the use of C. fasciatus shell δ18O as a palaeoclimate proxy.

Internal Transcribed Spacer 2 (ITS2) is a popular DNA barcoding marker; however, in some animal species it is hypervariable and therefore difficult to sequence with traditional methods. With nextgeneration sequencing (NGS) it is possible to sequence all gene variants despite the presence of single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs), insertions/deletions (indels), homopolymeric regions, and microsatellites. Our aim was to compare the performance of Sanger sequencing and NGS amplicon sequencing in characterizing ITS2 in 26 mosquito species represented by 88 samples. The suitability of ITS2 as a DNA barcoding marker for mosquitoes, and its allelic diversity in individuals and species, was also assessed. Compared to Sanger sequencing, NGS was able to characterize the ITS2 region to a greater extent, with resolution within and between individuals and species that was previously not possible. A total of 382 unique sequences (alleles) were generated from the 88 mosquito specimens, demonstrating the diversity present that has been overlooked by traditional sequencing methods. Multiple indels and microsatellites were present in the ITS2 alleles, which were often specific to species or genera, causing variation in sequence length. As a barcoding marker, ITS2 was able to separate all of the species, apart from members of the Culex pipiens complex, providing the same resolution as the commonly used Cytochrome Oxidase I (COI). The ability to cost-effectively sequence hypervariable markers makes NGS an invaluable tool with many applications in the DNA barcoding field, and provides insights into the limitations of previous studies and techniques.

description: © The Author(s) 2016. The assembly and regulation of viral capsid proteins into highly ordered macromolecular complexes is essential for viral replication. Here, we utilize crystal structures of the capsid protein from the smallest and simplest known viruses capable of autonomously replicating in animal cells, circoviruses, to establish structural and mechanistic insights into capsid morphogenesis and regulation. The beak and feather disease virus, like many circoviruses, encode only two genes: a capsid protein and a replication initiation protein. The capsid protein forms distinct macromolecular assemblies during replication and here we elucidate these structures at high resolution, showing that these complexes reverse the exposure of the N-terminal arginine rich domain responsible for DNA binding and nuclear localization. We show that assembly of these complexes is regulated by single-stranded DNA (ssDNA), and provide a structural basis of capsid assembly around single-stranded DNA, highlighting novel binding interfaces distinct from the highly positively charged N-terminal ARM domain.

description: Screening of 29 strains of Neisseria gonorrhoeae revealed that 16/21 serum resistant strains and 0/8 serum sensitive strains bound C4bp, suggesting that C4bp binding to gonococci could contribute to serum resistance. C4bp bound to gonococci retained cofactor (C4b-degrading) function. Using allelic exchange to construct strains with hybrid Por1A/B molecules, we demonstrate that the N-terminal loop (loop 1) of Por1A is required for C4bp binding. Serum resistant Por1B gonococcal strains also bind C4bp via their Por molecule. Using allelic exchange and site-directed mutagenesis, we have shown that loops 5 and 7 together form a negatively charged C4bp binding domain. C4bp-Por1B interactions are ionic in nature (inhibited by high salt as well as by heparin), while the C4bp-Por1A bond is hydrophobic. mAbs directed against SCR1 of the α-chain of C4bp inhibit C4bp binding to both Por1A and Por1B. Furthermore, only recombinant C4bp mutant molecules that contain α-chain SCR1 bind both Por1A and Por1B gonococci, confirming that SCR1 contains Por binding sites. C4bp α-chain monomers do not bind strains with either Por molecule, suggesting that the polymeric form of C4bp is required for binding to gonococci. Inhibition of C4bp binding to serum resistant Por1A and Por1B strains in a serum bactericidal assay using fAb fragments against C4bp SCR1 results in complete killing at 30 min of otherwise fully serum resistant strains in only 10% normal serum, underscoring the role of C4bp in mediating gonococcal serum resistance. © 2001 Elsevier Science B.V.

description: A rapid capillary electrophoretic (CE) method was developed for the determination of phloroglucinol compounds, monoacetylphloroglucinol (MAPG) and 2,4-diacetylphloroglucinol (DAPG), in microbial supernatants of Pseudomonas fluorescens F113 over a 24-h growth cycle. Prior to electrophoretic separation, solid-phase extraction of supernatant samples on octadecylsilica for the purpose of sample cleanup is recommended. The optimum electrophoretic conditions were found to be 25 mM sodium tetraborate running buffer at pH 9.3, temperature at 25°C with an applied voltage of 25 kV. The capillary was an Agilent fused-silica capillary of total length 33 cm × 50 μm inner diameter, 375 μ m outer diameter, with effective length 24.5 cm. While MAPG and DAPG were monitored at selected wavelengths in the range of 214-320 nm, analysis at 214 nm was used and a CE separation time of less than 2 min was achieved. A partial method validation study was performed in accordance with European Agency for Evaluation of Medicinal Products (EMEA) guidelines. The method displayed linearity over the investigated range of 10-200 μg/mL, with limits of detection of 1.2 μg/mL for MAPG and 1.3 μ g/mL for DAPG. © 2004 WILEY-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA, Weinheim.

description: We screened 29 strains of Neisseria gonorrhoeae and found 16/21 strains that resisted killing by normal human serum and 0/8 serum sensitive strains that bound the complement regulator, C4b-binding protein (C4bp). Microbial surface-bound C4bp demonstrated cofactor activity. We constructed gonococcal strains with hybrid porin (Por) molecules derived from each of the major serogroups (Por1A and Por1B) of N. gonorrhoeae, and showed that the loop 1 of Por1A is required for C4bp binding. Por1B loops 5 and 7 of serum-resistant gonococci together formed a negatively charged C4bp-binding domain. C4bp-Por1B interactions were ionic in nature (inhibited by high salt or by heparin), whereas the C4bp-Por1A bond was hydrophobic. Only recombinant C4bp mutant molecules containing the NH2-terminal α-chain short consensus repeat (SCR1) bound to both Por1A and Por1B gonococci, suggesting that SCR1 contained Por binding sites. C4bp α-chain monomers did not bind gonococci, indicating that the polymeric form of C4bp was required for binding. Using fAb fragments against C4bp SCR1, C4bp binding to Por1A and Por1B strains was inhibited in a complement-dependent serum bactericidal assay. This resulted in complete killing of these otherwise fully serum resistant strains in only 10% normal serum, underscoring the importance of C4bp in mediating gonococcal serum resistance.

description: This paper presents an acoustic-phonetic analysis of vowel data from recordings of Wunambal, a Worrorran language of the Kimberley region in North West Australia. Wunambal has been analysed as a six vowel system with the contrasts /i e a o u i{stroke}/, with /i{stroke}/ only found in the Northern variety. Recordings from three senior (60+) male speakers of Northern Wunambal were used for this study. These recordings were originally made for documentation of lexical items. All vowel tokens were drawn from words in short carrier phrases, or words in isolation, and we compare vowels from both accented and unaccented contexts. We demonstrate a remarkably symmetrical vowel space, highlighting where the six vowels lie acoustically in relation to each other for the three speakers overall, and for each speaker individually. While all speakers in our corpus used the /i{stroke}/ vowel, the allophony observed suggests that it has a somewhat different phonemic status than other vowels. Accented and unaccented vowels are not significantly different for any speaker, and are similarly distributed in acoustic space.

description: Die vorliegende Diplomarbeit untersucht phänomenologisch den ästhetischen Raum in Franz Kafkas Roman „Der Proceß“ unter dem Aspekt der „Einbrüche“ des Gerichtsraumes in den Erlebnisraum Josef K.‘s. Diese wissenschaftliche Betrachtung der literarischen Räume erfolgt mit Hilfe philosophischer Ansätze, dementsprechend orientiert sich die Arbeit elementar an phänomenologischen Theorien. Dabei wird neben den Beiträgen von Küter, Frey und Carrick besonders von Dürckheims Theorie des „gelebten Raumes“ ausgegangen, die dieser methodischen Vorgehensweise und die daraus resultierenden Erkenntnisse rechtfertigen soll. Dem theoretischen und methodischen Abriss folgt eine eingehende Analyse der Räume im „Proceß“ und der sich in ihnen abspielenden Handlung. Hier wird bereits deutlich, dass der Gerichtsraum kontinuierlich und mit steigender Intensität in K.‘s Erlebnisraum eindringt, diesen bedrängt und sich für den Protagonisten als Macht- und Angstraum offenbart. Der letzte Teil der Arbeit befasst sich mit der strukturellen Beschaffenheit des Gerichtsraumes, der wesentlich durch seine verwirrende, labyrinthische Architektur, durch ungewöhnliche Beleuchtungs- und Lichtverhältnisse, durch eine scheinbare Armut an Farben und Tönen sowie durch seine seltsamen Vertreter gekennzeichnet ist und sich somit vom alltäglichen Lebensraum K.‘s deutlich abhebt. Einen weiteren zentralen Punkt dieses abschließenden Kapitels bilden die „Phänomene“ Tür, Fenster und Bett, die K. nie eine Fluchtmöglichkeit bieten oder Erholung bzw. Sicherheit gewähren, sondern als bevorzugte Angriffsorte des Gerichts fungieren.

description: Influence of flow parameters and nose radius on laminar-turbulent transition location is under investigation. Model used was ogive-conical body of revolution having half angle about 9. Experiments were conducted in shock tunnel at Mach number 5. Transition location was diagnosed by heat transfer rate distribution determined with aid of luminescent temperature converters. It is shown that transition reversal can occur either a) in absence of turbulent wedges or b) at constant level of freestream disturbances. Both increasing and decreasing branches of Re,t (Re,R ) dependency were observed at constant nose radius while varying unit Reynolds number only.

Tales from camp wilde: Queer(y)ing environmental education research

description: This paper questions the relative silence of queer theory and theorizing in environmental education research. We explore some possibilities for queering environmental education research by fabricating (and inviting colleagues to fabricate) stories of Camp Wilde, a fictional location that helps usto expose the facticity of the field's heteronormative constructedness. These stories suggest alternative ways of (re)presenting and (re)producing both the subjects/objects of our inquiries and our identities as researchers. The contributors draw on a variety of theoretical resources from art history, deconstruction, ecofeminism, literary criticism, popular cultural studies, and feminist poststructuralism to perform an orientation to environmental education research that we hope will never be arrested by its categorization as a "new genre." © 2011 by Revista Estudos Feministas.

Japan auf dem Weg zu einer Roboter-Gesellschaft? Visionen und Realitäten am Beispiel der Pflegerobotik

Publisher: name: MINIKOMI: Austrian Journal of Japanese Studies
Year: 2022

description: In this interview, Cosima Wagner reflects on her observations about robot technological visions and development in Japan in the last decades. In particular, she traces the changes to a so-called “technological optimism” (especially in social robot technology) and the turning point of the 2011 triple disaster which provided a stark reality check. While drawing from her recent fieldwork in care and welfare settings as part of an interdisciplinary team researching technological empowerment, she presents concerned voices from medical staff about so-called “care robots”. Contrary to the much-propagated image of Japan as a “robot loving nation”, she points out the distortion between technological development and the needs of the real world (genba), as well as the importance of participatory technology development.

title: "In der Welt zu sein, aber nicht von der Welt"
Creators: name: Kubičár, Pavol
Year: 2010

description: Wie kann man in der Welt sein, aber nicht von der Welt? Im ersten Teil der Arbeit habe ich versucht zu zeigen, was es bedeutet „In der Welt, aber nicht von der Welt zu sein“. Als Ergebnis kennzeichne ich das Gewissen als das zentrale Phänomen, in dem diese Spannung des Menschen offenkundig wird. Das menschliche Gewissen kann eine Antwort auf die oben gestellte Frage bieten. Das Gewissen ist nämlich ein Phänomen, das den Menschen übersteigt. Der Mensch wurde von Gott in diese Welt eingesetzt. Von dieser Welt ist er geprägt und beeinflusst und gleichzeitig prägt er diese Welt. Das, was diese Welt übersteigt und was nicht von dieser Welt ist, ist eben das menschliche Gewissen, das in der kirchlichen Tradition als eine innere Stimme Gottes verstanden wird. Im Leben gemäß dieser Stimme realisiert sich ein Leben, das in dieser Welt, nicht aber von dieser Welt ist. Im zweiten Teil dieser Diplomarbeit versuchte ich, die Gewissensauffassung zweier Moraltheologen, eine aus dem Westen und eine aus der „Zweiten Welt“, zu vergleichen: Bernhard Häring und Oto Mádr. Die Gewissensauffassung der Beiden ist in vielem ähnlich.

description: Background: Primary healthcare services in Australia, Canada, New Zealand and the United States have embraced the concept of family-centred care as a promising approach to supporting and caring for the health of young Indigenous children and their families. This scoping review assesses the quality of the evidence base and identifies the published literature on family- centred interventions for Indigenous early childhood wellbeing. Methods: Fourteen electronic databases, grey literature sources and the reference lists of Indigenous maternal and child health reviews were searched to identify relevant publications from 2000 to 2015. Studies were included if the intervention was: 1) focussed on Indigenous children aged from conception to 5 years from the abovementioned countries; 2) led by a primary healthcare service; 3) described or evaluated; and 4) scored greater than 50% against a validated scale for family-centredness. The study characteristics were extracted and quality rated. Reported aims, strategies, enablers and outcomes of family-centredcare were identified using grounded theory methods. Results: Eighteen studies (reported in 25 publications) were included. Three were randomised controlled studies; most were qualitative and exploratory in design. More than half of the publications were published from 2012 to 2015. The overarching aim of interventions was to promote healthy families. Six key strategies were to: support family behaviours and self- care, increase maternal knowledge, strengthen links with the clinic, build the Indigenous workforce, promote cultural/ community connectedness and advocate for social determinants of health. Four enablers were: competent and compassionate program deliverers, flexibility of access, continuity and integration of healthcare, and culturally supportive care. Health outcomes were reported for Indigenous children (nutritional status; emotional/behavioural; and prevention of injury and illness); parents/caregivers (depression and substance abuse; and parenting knowledge, confidence and skills); health services (satisfaction; access, utilization and cost) and community/cultural revitalisation. Discussion and conclusion: The evidence for family-centred interventions is in the early stages of development, but suggests promise for generating diverse healthcare outcomes for Indigenous children and their parents/caregivers, as well as satisfaction with and utilisation of healthcare, and community/cultural revitalisation. Further research pertaining to the role of fathers in family-centred care, and the effects and costs of interventions is needed.

description: © 2014 Brenu et al. Background: MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are known to regulate many biological processes and their dysregulation has been associated with a variety of diseases including Chronic Fatigue Syndrome/Myalgic Encephalomyelitis (CFS/ME). The recent discovery of stable and reproducible miRNA in plasma has raised the possibility that circulating miRNAs may serve as novel diagnostic markers. The objective of this study was to determine the role of plasma miRNA in CFS/ME.Results: Using Illumina high-throughput sequencing we identified 19 miRNAs that were differentially expressed in the plasma of CFS/ME patients in comparison to non-fatigued controls. Following RT-qPCR analysis, we were able to confirm the significant up-regulation of three miRNAs (hsa-miR-127-3p, hsa-miR-142-5p and hsa-miR-143-3p) in the CFS/ME patients.Conclusion: Our study is the first to identify circulating miRNAs from CFS/ME patients and also to confirm three differentially expressed circulating miRNAs in CFS/ME patients, providing a basis for further study to find useful CFS/ME biomarkers.
