description: This report provides details of the aggregation process performed in the EUreka3D project and describes the collections prepared for publication by the content partners on the Europeana website.

The EUreka3D content providers committed to digitise and publish in Europeana a varied range of different cultural heritage objects, from cultural heritage models to objects of pre-cinema and equipment, museum objects, cultural and everyday life artefacts, and typological 3D models of ceramic tableware, ancient paper moulds and documents.

In addition to the technical verifications of the models, the requirements of the Europeana Publishing Framework (EPF) for content and metadata quality were addressed to produce collections for aggregation into the Europeana portal that match the tiers 2+ (for content) and A+ (for metadata).

description: Nocturnal enuresis is an uncontrollable urination that only happens at night, after most children have stopped. At least three episodes of bedwetting in a patient who has never remained dry for more than six months are necessary for the diagnosis of primary monosymptomatic enuresis (PMNE). Till now, there is no clear connection between the genetic alteration and PMNE. Therefore, there is a crucial need to continue the investigation for a better understanding of the pathophysiology of PMNE. The oxidative stress has been linked to numerous pathological diseases such as cancer, and neurological disease. The current study aimed to investigate the possible association between superoxide dismutase (SOD 1 and 2) single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP), level of metalloproteases and the risk of PMNE persisting into adolescence (10–18 years old). Fifty-three patients (10–18 years old) and 47 healthy children (age- and sex-matched) were included in the study. DNA was extracted for the detection of SNP in SOD1 and SOD2 by using allele-specific primers. Serum malondialdehyde (MDA), nitric oxide (NO), protein carbonyl (PC), SOD, catalase (CAT), and IL-8 were measured in control and patient groups. This study revealed a significant difference between studied groups as regard SOD1 rs17880135 and SOD2 rs4880. There was a significant higher median IL-8 among GT than GG & TT rs17880135 genotype. On the other hand, significant lower median IL-8 was found among CT than CC & TT SOD2 rs4880 genotype. A significantly higher median MDA was found among CT than CC & TT SOD2 rs4880 genotypes. This is the first study to demonstrate that there is an association between the genotype and allele frequencies of SOD1 rs17880135 and SOD2 rs4880 genotypes and the increased risk of nocturnal enuresis. These findings require large scale study among diverse ethnic and race children to better understand the development of the disease and its prevention.
Unveiling the therapeutic significance of shikimate pathway-derived phenolic acids against penicillin-binding protein 3 of Pseudomonas aeruginosa

description: This study investigated the modulatory potential of Shikimate pathway-derived phenolic acids against penicillin-binding protein 3 (PBP3) of Pseudomonas aeruginosa using computational and in vitro methods. The binding and inhibitory capabilities of 22 phenolic acids against the catalytic site of PBP3 were evaluated and revealed ellagic and chlorogenic acids as the top inhibitors, showing superior docking scores of −8.4 kcal/mol each compared to the standard, cefotaxime (−7.5 kcal/mol). Dynamics simulation of their PBP3 complexes indicated chlorogenic acid’s efficacy in inhibiting PBP3 (−33.65 kcal/mol) relative to cefotaxime (−30.10 kcal/mol), while interacting with key catalytically relevant residues. The quantum features analysis using DFT/B3LYP suggested chlorogenic acid’s superior reactivity and compatibility with the PBP3 active site. In vitro evaluation revealed an MIC of 200 mg/ml for chlorogenic acid and 0.8 mg/ml for cefotaxime against Pseudomonas aeruginosa ATCC 27,853, while their combination showed a synergistic action mechanism (FIC index of 0.5). These observations were validated in time-kill kinetics (gradual decrease in viable cells over 24 h). The study concludes chlorogenic acid as promising PBP3 inhibitor. Nonetheless, further studies could focus on the structural modification of chlorogenic acid to improve its pharmacokinetic properties and potential as an antibacterial drug candidate in vivo.

Habitat and Biology: An eastern species with few records from the southeast, adults of these beetles are found
under bark of pine and spruce and are active during the spring, summer, and fall months in Georgia. Their biology is unknown, but they may be bark beetle predators like many other species of this genus (Bousquet 1990). They vector Ceratocystis fungal spores, which are causative agents of aspen cankers in the western United States (Hinds 1972). Lindgren funnel traps baited with ethanol and ultraviolet lights attract them in small numbers.
