description: Boffa is increasingly affected by the international mining industry. Dynamics of internal migration are changing - now a common coping mechanism for the collapse of traditional livelihoods.

Key Takeaways

The environmental impacts of industrial mining threaten local livelihoods. Some 82% of young adults consider it difficult to earn a living and feed a family in Boffa.

Migration aspirations are equally high for women and men. Women mostly migrate for marriage, though trading offers an opportunity for financial independence and mobility.

Boffa hosts African and Chinese in-migrants who work in mining and fishing, mostly living in segregated communities with little interaction with locals.
The Effect of Habitat Condition and Vegetation on the Moth Communities of the Limestone Habitats at Hutton Roof and Farleton Knott Sites of Special Scientific Interest, North West England
Creators: name: Patton, Justine
Publisher: name: Lancaster University
Year: 2022

description: Moths in western Europe have seriously declined since the mid-20th century, mirroring the trends seen in other insect groups. The drivers of decline are multifarious, with agricultural intensification, habitat loss and degradation, eutrophication and climate change being key factors. In the UK, Sites of Special Scientific Interest (SSSI) protect some of the rarest flora, fauna, and geological features and are of high conservation value. The designation protects against damage and development through maintaining ‘favourable’ condition. This thesis aimed to investigate how habitat type (grassland vs pavement), habitat condition (declining, recovering, favourable) and vegetation composition affects the moth communities of Hutton Roof and Farleton Knott SSSIs, NW England, by assessing moth samples and data on vegetation along with existing macro-moth trait data. Observed levels of species richness, estimated measures of moth diversity, functional diversity, community composition and trait composition did not differ between habitat types or habitat condition. Instead, the moth community and trait composition differed between SSSI units and reserves, being driven by forb cover. More woodland macro-moth species were sampled at the grassland habitat despite the limestone pavement supporting taller, woody plants, suggesting the vegetation surrounding the grasslands is a key driver. The findings highlight advancing stages of succession from undermanagement: encroachment is not being actively managed, and a lack of rotational livestock grazing is promoting swards dominated by rank grasses. The increased grass cover in place of forbs negatively affected moth species richness. The macro-moth community was represented by many ubiquitous species, with a range of complementary generalist life-history traits. A number of specialist moths have been identified at both reserves, some of which are locally abundant. Bryophytes, lichens, and algae play an important role at the limestone pavement habitat; there is potential for them to provide a medium in which to pupate, a food source for larval stages, support for plant species to develop in an extreme environment and have a positive effect on estimated moth diversity. Condition assessments fail to acknowledge the value of bryophytes and lichens in a water and nutrient limited environment. This thesis highlights the limitations of condition assessments that focus on vegetation, supporting the need for the integration of additional taxa.
PGE2 Promotes Apoptosis Induced by Cytokine Deprivation through EP3 Receptor and Induces Bim in Mouse Mast Cells

description: Increased mast cell numbers are observed at sites of allergic inflammation and restoration of normal mast cell numbers is critical to the resolution of these responses. Early studies showed that cytokines protect mast cells from apoptosis, suggesting a simple model in which diminished cytokine levels during resolution leads to cell death. The report that prostaglandins can contribute both to recruitment and to the resolution of inflammation together with the demonstration that mast cells express all four PGE2 receptors raises the question of whether a single PGE2 receptor mediates the ability of PGE2 to regulate mast cell survival and apoptosis. We report here that PGE2 through the EP3 receptor promotes cell death of mast cells initiated by cytokine withdrawal. Furthermore, the ability of PGE2 to limit reconstitution of tissues with cultured mast cells is lost in cell lacking the EP3 receptor. Apoptosis is accompanied by higher dissipation of mitochondrial potential (ΔΨm), increased caspase-3 activation, chromatin condensation, and low molecular weight DNA cleavage. PGE2 augmented cell death is dependent on an increase in intracellular calcium release, calmodulin dependent kinase II and MAPK activation. Synergy between the EP3 pathway and the intrinsic mitochondrial apoptotic pathway results in increased Bim expression and higher sensitivity of mast cells to cytokine deprivation. This supports a model in which PGE2 can contribute to the resolution of inflammation in part by augmenting the removal of inflammatory cells in this case, mast cells.

description: The essay presents the results of a survey aimed at evaluating how the time variable influences the performance of Invalsi math tests in the Italian secondary school. It is worth to say that these tests are intended to detect not specific knowledge or skills but how students can use what he/she has learnt in order to solve new problems. The survey wants to find out in which terms the time available variable influences a different expression of competences. Indeed it offers a pedagogical-didactic interpretation space that gives qualitative and not just quantitative meaning to results. L’influenza della variabile tempo nelle Prove Invalsi di matematica Il contributo espone i risultati di un’indagine volta a valutare l’influenza della variabile tempo nelle performance alle Prove Invalsi di matematica nella scuola secondaria di primo grado. Premesso che tali prove non hanno l’obiettivo di rilevare specifiche conoscenze o abilità, ma come l’allievo riesce ad usare ciò che ha appreso per risolvere problemi nuovi, lo scopo dell’indagine è rilevare in che termini la variabile tempo influenzi una differente espressione delle competenze e, pertanto, offrire uno spazio di interpretazione pedagogico-didattica che dia senso qualitativo e non solo quantitativo ai risultati.

Year: 2018

description: The field of the teaching profession represents a field of work where the implicit dimensions of both the self and the context are key factors in concrete work. Such implicit dimensions do also influence and affect tacitly the representation of the professional role and the context. Moreover they direct the action in terms of ratings, choices, behaviors. The work describes a training and research experience, according to a narrative approach, which involved teachers of upper secondary school. The aim was to identify, on the one hand, the critical aspects that require an implementation of vocational training in critical and relational sense and, on the other hand, to highlight the validity of critical-reflexive pathways in the teachers’ training. L’influenza del sapere personale nella professione docente L’ambito della professione docente costituisce un terreno di lavoro nel quale le dimensioni implicite di sé e del contesto costituiscono elementi determinanti nel prefigurare il fare lavorativo concreto, nonché forme di influenza che sagomano tacitamente le rappresentazioni del ruolo e del contesto professionale e che dirigono l’agire in termini di valutazioni, scelte, comportamenti. Il contributo riporta una esperienza di formazione e ricerca, secondo un approccio narrativo, che ha coinvolto docenti della scuola secondaria di secondo grado, finalizzata a cogliere, da un lato, le dimensioni problematiche che richiedono una implementazione della formazione professionale in senso critico e relazionale e, dall’altro, a partire da tali dimensioni, quello di evidenziare la validità di percorsi formativi critico-riflessivi nell’ambito della formazione professionale dei docenti.

Boundary spanners: a study about teacher-tutors’ orientations of School-Work Alternation programs
Creators: name: Tino, Concetta
Publisher: name: Form@re - Open Journal per la formazione in rete
Year: 2018

description: Nowadays, school and work need to cooperate as open systems to face the challenges of knowledge and work’ changes and quick transformations. The introduction of the School-Work Alternation system as a compulsory strategy, by the law 107/2015, aiming at supporting this process is not enough for the implementation of the needed changes. It requires a strong partnership between the two systems that need to be constantly supported and innovated by the collaboration of teacher-tutors involved. In this perspective, their role was investigated as boundary spanners (Wreets & Sandmann, 2010) between the school and work systems, through a quantitative approach. Findings showed the most important predictors of teacher-tutors’ boundary spanners orientations as well as some practical implications. Boundary spanners: uno studio sugli orientamenti dei docenti-tutor dell’Alternanza Scuola-Lavoro Oggi scuola e lavoro necessitano di cooperare come sistemi aperti per fronteggiare i cambiamenti e le repentine trasformazioni della conoscenza e del lavoro. L’introduzione dell’obbligatorietà dell’Alternanza Scuola-Lavoro, con la L. n. 107/2015, come strategia obbligatoria a supporto di tale processo non è sufficiente per l’implementazione dei cambiamenti necessari. Questi richiedono una solida partnership tra i due sistemi, che necessita di esser costantemente supportata e rinnovata con la collaborazione dei docenti-tutor coinvolti. In questa prospettiva, il loro ruolo è stato investigato come funzione di boundary spanners (Wreets & Sandmann, 2010) tra i sistemi scuola-lavoro, mediante un approccio quantitativo. I risultati ottenuti hanno dimostrato quali sono i più importanti predittori degli orientamenti di boundary spanners dei docenti-tutor e quali le implicazioni pratiche.

description: Built for those displaced by the expansion of an industrial port, New Takoradi is a town shaped by private sector investment. Migration aspirations are high as many young adults struggle to make a living.

Key Takeaways

New Takoradi is experiencing protracted stagnation due to a lack of job opportunities. Over half of young adults (53%) consider it difficult to earn a living and feed a family.

International out-migration is viewed as a way to escape poverty. Most young adults (86%) would migrate to a richer country if given the chance.

There is substantial irregular migration. Almost half (44%) of young adults know of someone who has been deported – or have themselves been deported.
title: Opening Space for Plastics — Why Spatial, Soil and Land Use Data Are Important to Understand Global Soil (Micro)Plastic Pollution

Year: 2022

description: After five years of research on microplastic pollution of soils it becomes obvious that soil systems act as a reservoir for microplastics on global scales. Nevertheless, the exact role of soils within global microplastic cycles, plastic fluxes within soils and environmental consequences are so far only partly understood. Against the background of a global environmental plastic pollution, the spatial reference, spatial levels, sampling approaches and documentation practices of soil context data becomes important. Within this review, we therefore evaluate the availability of spatial MP soil data on a global scale through the application of a questionnaire applied to 35 case studies on microplastics in soils published since 2016. We found that the global database on microplastics in soils is mainly limited to agricultural used topsoils in Central Europe and China. Data on major global areas and soil regions are missing, leading to a limited understanding of soils plastic pollution. Furthermore, we found that open data handling, geospatial data and documentation of basic soil information are underrepresented, which hinders further understanding of global plastic fluxes in soils. Out of this context, we give recommendations for spatial reference and soil context data collection, access and combination with soil microplastic data, to work towards a global and free soil microplastic data hub.

description: This paper aims to describe a pilot experience about teaching by competences that was carried out in a school. Particularly, the purpose of this experience with primary school pupils is to highlight the importance of the experiential teaching promoting global development of children. As a matter of fact, working in real and challenging situations shall facilitate meaningful learning with a strong social feature by linking responsibly every action to the real community as well as by teaching everyone to play his/her own part democratically and complying, inclusively, with their own ‘idiosyncratic generativity. La settimana della didattica per competenze: il plesso come fucina laboratoriale Nel presente lavoro viene descritta l’esperienza pilota di didattica per competenze realizzata in un plesso scolastico. In particolare, attraverso la narrazione di tale percorso, nello specifico degli alunni della primaria, si è voluta sottolineare l’importanza di una didattica esperienziale grazie alla quale promuovere lo sviluppo globale dei bambini e delle bambine. Infatti lavorare in situazioni reali e sfidanti facilita apprendimenti significativi a forte connotazione sociale, legando, responsabilmente, ogni singola azione alla comunità reale nella quale si è inseriti, in questo caso scolastica, insegnando a ciascuno, democraticamente, a fare la propria parte, nel rispetto inclusivo della propria idiosincrasica generatività.

description: We consider two ensembles of qubit dissipating into two overlapping environments, that is with a certain number of qubit in common that dissipate into both environments. We then study the dynamics of bipartite entanglement between the two ensembles by excluding the common qubit. To get analytical solutions for an arbitrary number of qubit we consider initial states with a single excitation and show that the largest amount of entanglement can be created when excitations are initially located among side (non common) qubit. Moreover, the stationary entanglement exhibits a monotonic (resp. non-monotonic) scaling versus the number of common (resp. side) qubit.

description: In the frame of the University classroom on Multimedia research methods, providing Continuing Professional Development opportunities for teachers, trainees were asked to record one lesson that they would typically perform and analyze it against a specific protocol, named Evident, which encompasses several steps and tools. The theoretical frameworks this action-research activity draws on are the School Effectiveness Approach by Creemers and Kyriakides, the Visible Learning work by Hattie and the Lesson Study practice, mainly used in Asian countries. After analyzing their video against a dedicated self-assessment Grid, thanks to the Radar Builder tool teachers visualized their positioning in a diagram helping them to understand which areas were to be improved in order to make their teaching more effective. A further step was to peer review the work of one colleague, but just for those who volunteered to do so. Videoripresa in classe: uno specchio per il professionista riflessivo Nell’ambito del corso Metodi di ricerca in ambiente multimediale, indirizzato a docenti in servizio, è stato chiesto ai corsisti di videoregistrare una tipica lezione e analizzarla sulla base di uno specifico protocollo, denominato Evident, che comprende diversi strumenti. I framework teorici che hanno ispirato questo lavoro di ricerca-azione sono il lavoro di Creemers and Kyriakides relativo al filone dello School Improvement, quello di Hattie sul Visible Learning e la pratica del Lesson Study, particolarmente diffusa nel mondo orientale. Dopo aver analizzato il video con la specifica scheda di autoanalisi, il docente attraverso lo strumento del Radar Builder aveva una rappresentazione visiva (Radar) dei propri punti di debolezza e di forza in base ai fattori di efficacia di una lezione. Era previsto anche un ulteriore lavoro di peer-review a coppie, su base volontaria.

description: : В эру заката антибиотиков возрастает актуальность создания лекарственных форм, обладаю-щих собственной антибактериальной активностью. Противоожоговая терапия является одним из основных потребителей соединений с местной антибактериальной активностью. Исследована безводная форма геля – ксерогель на основе нейтрального гидрозоля диоксида титана, которая является альтернативой гидрогелям при создании раневых покрытий. В качестве тестовых объ-ектов для исследования противомикробной активности выбраны штаммы Staphylococcus aureus 209 P и Escherichia coli 292-116. Антибактериальные свойства препарата были изучены методами диффузии в агар и в суспензиях клеток. Кроме того, на 30 крысах Вистар был проведен эксперимент по формированию ожога IIIБ степени в межлопаточной области. Животные были разделены на 3 группы: контрольная – без лечения, группа сравнения – животные, получавшие аргосульфан, и экспериментальная группа, в которой на кожу животных наносили ксерогель алюминия. Количество колониеобразующих единиц в 1 мл отделяемого ран устанавливали на 1, 3, 7 и 14 сутки после моделирования подсчетом макроколоний, выросших на агаризованных и полуагаризованных питательных средах. Показано, что препарат обладает выраженными антибактериальными свойствами против грамположительных и грамотрицательных видов бактерий. Наибольшего эффекта воздействия на микроорганизмы можно достичь при разбавлении препарата не более, чем 1:1. Очевидно, бактерицидная активность базируется на фотокаталитическом эффекте, потенцируемом мезопористой структурой ксерогеля. Накожный способ применения ксерогеля нейтрального гидрозоля TiO2 в качестве препарата для лечения ожоговых ран позволяет достичь этих концентраций в раневой поверхности и не предполагает существенного разбавления в процессе использования. Данные, полученные в эксперименте in vivo, демонстрируют пролонгированный антибактериальный эффект, нарастающий с увеличением времени лечения.

description: The African Genomic Medicine Training Initiative (AGMT) was launched in May 2016, in Senegal, by a group of stakeholders from the Human Heredity and Health in Africa (H3Africa) Consortium and the African Society of Human Genetics (AfSHG) has developed competencies in genomic medicine with the aim to provide genomics and genetics education to healthcare professionals based in Africa. The first set of competencies that the initiative developed were for Nurses. These were used to develop curriculum and to provide genomics and genetics education for Nurses in Africa. The competencies were also published in The African Genomic Medicine Training Initiative (AGMT): Showcasing a Community and Framework Driven Genomic Medicine Training for Nurses in Africa article. However, due to the demand for Genomic Medicine training from Medical Doctors, Pathologists, Medical Laboratory Scientists and Medical Laboratory Technicians and considering that these groups are also likely to have an impact on Genomic Medicine, personas from these groups were identified, added and used to create and map competencies of these additional groups. Consequently, resulting in the development of the curriculum and provision of genomics and genetics education for Medical Doctors, Pathologists, Medical Laboratory Scientists and Medical Laboratory Technicians in Africa. This resource contains these competencies and the personas used to create and map them.

description: ObjectiveTo test transethnic replication of a genetic risk score for obesity in white and black young adults using a national sample with longitudinal data.Design and MethodsA prospective longitudinal study using the National Longitudinal Study of Adolescent Health Sibling Pairs (n = 1,303). Obesity phenotypes were measured from anthropometric assessments when study members were aged 18–26 and again when they were 24–32. Genetic risk scores were computed based on published genome-wide association study discoveries for obesity. Analyses tested genetic associations with body-mass index (BMI), waist-height ratio, obesity, and change in BMI over time.ResultsWhite and black young adults with higher genetic risk scores had higher BMI and waist-height ratio and were more likely to be obese compared to lower genetic risk age-peers. Sibling analyses revealed that the genetic risk score was predictive of BMI net of risk factors shared by siblings. In white young adults only, higher genetic risk predicted increased risk of becoming obese during the study period. In black young adults, genetic risk scores constructed using loci identified in European and African American samples had similar predictive power.ConclusionCumulative information across the human genome can be used to characterize individual level risk for obesity. Measured genetic risk accounts for only a small amount of total variation in BMI among white and black young adults. Future research is needed to identify modifiable environmental exposures that amplify or mitigate genetic risk for elevated BMI.
Polyglutamine-Rich Suppressors of Huntingtin Toxicity Act Upstream of Hsp70 and Sti1 in Spatial Quality Control of Amyloid-Like Proteins

description: Protein conformational maladies such as Huntington Disease are characterized by accumulation of intracellular and extracellular protein inclusions containing amyloid-like proteins. There is an inverse correlation between proteotoxicity and aggregation, so facilitated protein aggregation appears cytoprotective. To define mechanisms for protective protein aggregation, a screen for suppressors of nuclear huntingtin (Htt103Q) toxicity was conducted. Nuclear Htt103Q is highly toxic and less aggregation prone than its cytosolic form, so we identified suppressors of cytotoxicity caused by Htt103Q tagged with a nuclear localization signal (NLS). High copy suppressors of Htt103Q-NLS toxicity include the polyQ-domain containing proteins Nab3, Pop2, and Cbk1, and each suppresses Htt toxicity via a different mechanism. Htt103Q-NLS appears to inactivate the essential functions of Nab3 in RNA processing in the nucleus. Function of Pop2 and Cbk1 is not impaired by nuclear Htt103Q, as their respective polyQ-rich domains are sufficient to suppress Htt103Q toxicity. Pop2 is a subunit of an RNA processing complex and is localized throughout the cytoplasm. Expression of just the Pop2 polyQ domain and an adjacent proline-rich stretch is sufficient to suppress Htt103Q toxicity. The proline-rich domain in Pop2 resembles an aggresome targeting signal, so Pop2 may act in trans to positively impact spatial quality control of Htt103Q. Cbk1 accumulates in discrete perinuclear foci and overexpression of the Cbk1 polyQ domain concentrates diffuse Htt103Q into these foci, which correlates with suppression of Htt toxicity. Protective action of Pop2 and Cbk1 in spatial quality control is dependent upon the Hsp70 co-chaperone Sti1, which packages amyloid-like proteins into benign foci. Protein:protein interactions between Htt103Q and its intracellular neighbors lead to toxic and protective outcomes. A subset of polyQ-rich proteins buffer amyloid toxicity by funneling toxic aggregation intermediates to the Hsp70/Sti1 system for spatial organization into benign species.

description: Gender inequality is a topic that has been going on for along time. In this historical moment we are actually part of (4th feminist wave), training university students in all aspects related to equality and making them aware of existing gender inequalities is more important than ever. In this article a methodological proposal is presented to reach this objective, through different types of activities (theoretical, approach to reality and through the socio-affective method). Through qualitative (discussion group) and quantitative (surveys) techniques the article investigates on which are the activities that actually work in order to achieve greater sensitivity to the problem of gender inequality. Results show that the AAR (Activities Approach to Reality) and the DMS (Dynamics through the Socio-affective Method) methods allow a greater awareness and understanding of the topic. Formación universitaria en igualdad de género: acercamiento a la realidad y método socioafectivo como estrategias sensibilizadoras Las desigualdades de género son un hecho presente a lo largo de la historia. Pero en este momento histórico en el que nos encontramos (4º ola feminista), se hace muy necesario formar a los estudiantes universitarios en aspectos relacionados con la igualdad y hacerlos conscientes de las desigualdades de género existentes. En el presente artículo se presenta una propuesta metodológica para alcanzar este objetivo, a través de diferentes tipos de actividades (teóricas, de acercamiento a la realidad y mediante el método socioafectivo). A través de técnicas cualitativas (grupo de discusión) y cuantitativas (encuestas) se investigó sobre qué actividades habían servido para alcanzar una mayor sensibilidad ante la problemática de la desigualdad de género. Los resultados muestran cómo las AAR (Actividades Acercamiento a la Realidad) y las DMS (dinámicas mediante el método socioafectivo) son aquellas que permiten una mayor sensibilización y comprensión del problema.

description: The synthesis, secretion and clearance of von Willebrand factor (VWF) are regulated by genetic variations in coding and promoter regions of the VWF gene. We have previously identified 19 single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs), primarily in introns that are associated with VWF antigen levels in subjects of European descent. In this study, we conducted race by gender analyses to compare the association of VWF SNPs with VWF antigen among 10,434 healthy Americans of European (EA) or African (AA) descent from the Atherosclerosis Risk in Communities (ARIC) study. Among 75 SNPs analyzed, 13 and 10 SNPs were associated with VWF antigen levels in EA male and EA female subjects, respectively. However, only one SNP (RS1063857) was significantly associated with VWF antigen in AA females and none was in AA males. Haplotype analysis of the ARIC samples and studying racial diversities in the VWF gene from the 1000 genomes database suggest a greater degree of variations in the VWF gene in AA subjects as compared to EA subjects. Together, these data suggest potential race and gender divergence in regulating VWF expression by genetic variations.
MIGNEX Case Study Brief GHA1 - Migration and development dynamics in Gbane, Ghana

description: Major development interventions have contributed to a prominent mining sector in Gbane. Yet a lack of job opportunities and severe land degradation are having an increasing impact on lives and livelihoods.

Key Takeaways

Over half of young adults (65%) in Gbane consider it difficult to earn a living and feed a family.

Internal migration, both to and from Gbane, is a major livelihood strategy for young adults. This, however, varies considerably between men and women.

While international migration is a common aspiration, it is perceived as a distant option. Less than 1% of young adults have lived abroad for at least one year.

description: PAKs are serine/threonine kinases that regulate cytoskeletal dynamics and cell migration. PAK1 is activated by binding to the small EF hand protein, CIB1, or to the Rho GTPases Rac1 or Cdc42. The role of PAK1 in angiogenesis was established based only on in vitro studies and its role in angiogenesis in vivo has never been examined. Here we tested the hypothesis that PAK1 is an essential regulator of ischemic neovascularization (arteriogenesis and angiogenesis) and wound healing using a global PAK1 knockout mouse. Neovascularization was assessed using unilateral hindlimb ischemia. We found that plantar perfusion, limb use and appearance were not significantly different between 6–8 week old PAK1−/− and PAK1+/+ mice throughout the 21-day period following hindlimb ischemia; however a slightly delayed healing was observed in 16 week old PAK1−/− mice. In addition, the wound healing rate, as assessed with an ear punch assay, was unchanged in PAK1−/− mice. Surprisingly, however, we observed a notable increase in PAK2 expression and phosphorylation in ischemic gastrocnemius tissue from PAK1−/− but not PAK1+/+ mice. Furthermore, we observed higher levels of activated ERK2, but not AKT, in ischemic and non-ischemic muscle of PAK1−/− mice upon hindlimb ischemic injury. A group I PAK inhibitor, IPA3, significantly inhibited endothelial cell sprouting from aortic rings in both PAK1−/− and PAK1+/+ mice, implying that PAK2 is a potential contributor to this process. Taken together, our data indicate that while PAK1 has the potential to contribute to neovascularization and wound healing, PAK2 may functionally compensate when PAK1 is deficient.

description: Over two years 8,859 high-resolution H-band spectra of 3,493 young (1 - 10 Myr) stars were gathered by the multi-object spectrograph of the APOGEE project as part of the IN-SYNC ancillary program of that SDSS-III survey. Here we present the forward modeling approach used to derive effective temperatures, surface gravities, radial velocities, rotational velocities, and H-band veiling from these near-infrared spectra. We discuss in detail the statistical and systematic uncertainties in these stellar parameters. In addition we present accurate extinctions by measuring the E(J-H) of these young stars with respect to the single-star photometric locus in the Pleiades. Finally we identify an intrinsic stellar radius spread of about 25% for late-type stars in IC 348 using three (nearly) independent measures of stellar radius, namely the extinction-corrected J-band magnitude, the surface gravity and the $R \sin i$ from the rotational velocities and literature rotation periods. We exclude that this spread is caused by uncertainties in the stellar parameters by showing that the three estimators of stellar radius are correlated, so that brighter stars tend to have lower surface gravities and larger $R \sin i$ than fainter stars at the same effective temperature. Tables providing the spectral and photometric parameters for the Pleiades and IC 348 have been provided online.

description: Moyale is rapidly becoming a market centre and major destination for transit and in-migration. Yet informal cross-border trade, drought and renewed conflict threaten livelihood expansion and development.

Key Takeaways

Crossing to border towns in Kenya, where many have family members, is a daily activity in Moyale.

A new 'one-stop’ border post for trade between Ethiopia and Kenya, expected to boost trade and tariff relations, has increased in- and transit migration to Moyale.

One fifth (21%) of young adults would prefer to leave Ethiopia in the next five years. However, beyond regular travel to Kenya, migration aspirations are low.

description: BackgroundCoronary heart disease (CHD) is a leading cause of morbidity and mortality in African Americans. However, there is a paucity of studies assessing genetic determinants of CHD in African Americans. We examined the association of published variants in CHD loci with incident CHD, attempted to fine map these loci, and characterize novel variants influencing CHD risk in African Americans.Methods and ResultsUp to 8,201 African Americans (including 546 first CHD events) were genotyped using the MetaboChip array in the Atherosclerosis Risk in Communities (ARIC) study and Women's Health Initiative (WHI). We tested associations using Cox proportional hazard models in sex- and study-stratified analyses and combined results using meta-analysis. Among 44 validated CHD loci available in the array, we replicated and fine-mapped the SORT1 locus, and showed same direction of effects as reported in studies of individuals of European ancestry for SNPs in 22 additional published loci. We also identified a SNP achieving array wide significance (MYC: rs2070583, allele frequency 0.02, P = 8.1×10−8), but the association did not replicate in an additional 8,059 African Americans (577 events) from the WHI, HealthABC and GeneSTAR studies, and in a meta-analysis of 5 cohort studies of European ancestry (24,024 individuals including 1,570 cases of MI and 2,406 cases of CHD) from the CHARGE Consortium.ConclusionsOur findings suggest that some CHD loci previously identified in individuals of European ancestry may be relevant to incident CHD in African Americans.
