description: We present results from an ongoing investigation using the Kilo Degree Survey (KiDS) on the VLT Survey Telescope (VST) to provide a census of ultra-compact massive galaxies (UCMGs), defined as galaxies with stellar masses M* > 8 × 1010M⊙ and effective radii Re < 1.5 kpc. UCMGs, which are expected to have undergone very few merger events, provide a unique view on the accretion history of the most massive galaxies in the Universe. Over an effective sky area of nearly 330 deg2, we select UCMG candidates from KiDS multicolour images, which provide high quality structural parameters, photometric redshifts, and stellar masses. Our sample of ~1000 photometrically selected UCMGs at z < 0.5 represents the largest sample of UCMG candidates assembled to date over the largest sky area. In this paper, we present the first effort to obtain their redshifts using different facilities, starting with first results for 28 candidates with redshifts z < 0.5, obtained at NTT and TNG telescopes.We confirmed, as bona fide UCMGs, 19 out of the 28 candidates with new redshifts. A further 46 UCMG candidates are confirmed with literature spectroscopic redshifts (35 at z < 0.5), bringing the final cumulative sample of spectroscopically confirmed lower-z UCMGs to 54 galaxies, which is the largest sample at redshifts below 0.5. We use these spectroscopic redshifts to quantify systematic errors in our photometric selection, and use these to correct our UCMG number counts. We finally compare the results to independent data sets and simulations.
Enquête sur la consommation de pornographie chez les jeunes universitaires: Existe-t-il un lien avec l'hypersexualisation et la sexualisation précoce des jeunes?

description: Cette thèse vise à mesurer la consommation de pornographie par les jeunes dans le but, entre autres, d'examiner les liens entre cette consommation et des phénomènes sociaux comme l'hypersexualisation et la sexualisation précoce. Le cadre théorique s'inspire des théories féministes matérialistes. Cette thèse présente les résultats d'une enquête par questionnaire auprès de 213 étudiant-es de l'Université d'Ottawa. En outre, dix interviews ont été réalisées. L'enquête montre que la très grande majorité consomme de la pornographie et que plus d'un répondant sur quatre (27,3 %) consomme sur une base régulière et fréquente. La précocité de l'expérience pornographique et la fréquence de la consommation actuelle ont une incidence sur leurs pratiques sexuelles, sur leur rapport au corps, sur l'imaginaire sexuel des jeunes et sur leurs partenaires. Enfin, la consommation de pornographie a des incidences sur la sexualisation précoce des jeunes ainsi que sur leur hypersexualisation.

description: Статья посвящена изучению механизма взаимодействия искусства поздней эпохи викингов и романского стиля в странах Скандинавии. Непрерывный процесс трансформации художественных форм в период с XI по XIII вв. можно проследить, обратившись к изучению одной из наиболее хорошо сохранившейся группы памятников данного региона — резных порталов деревянных церквей Норвегии. Основное внимание в статье сосредоточено на анализе формирования композиционных схем декора портальной резьбы. Важным аспектом этого процесса является изучение возникновения и развития композиционных схем и основных декоративных элементов резьбы деревянных порталов. Их сложение — это результат влияния крупных европейских средневековых центров романского искусства на художественную жизнь скандинавских стран. Активное распространение романики проходило на фоне постепенно угасающей традиции скандинавского искусства поздней эпохи викингов. Результатом этого взаимодействия становится появление новых художественных образов, совмещающих стилистические особенности двух периодов. Этот процесс затронул не только произведения портальной резьбы норвежских деревянных церквей, но также отразился в декоре многих памятников каменной, деревянной скульптуры и декоративного искусства Скандинавии.

Hypothesis Testing of Matrix Graph Model with Application to Brain Connectivity Analysis

Year: 2016

description: Brain connectivity analysis is now at the foreground of neuroscience research. A connectivity network is characterized by a graph, where nodes represent neural elements such as neurons and brain regions, and links represent statistical dependence that is often encoded in terms of partial correlation. Such a graph is inferred from the matrix-valued neuroimaging data such as electroencephalography and functional magnetic resonance imaging. There have been a good number of successful proposals for sparse precision matrix estimation under normal or matrix normal distribution; however, this family of solutions does not offer a direct statistical significance quantification for the estimated links. In this article, we adopt a matrix normal distribution framework and formulate the brain connectivity analysis as a precision matrix hypothesis testing problem. Based on the separable spatial-temporal dependence structure, we develop oracle and data-driven procedures to test both the global hypothesis that all spatial locations are conditionally independent, and simultaneous tests for identifying conditional dependent spatial locations with false discovery rate control. Our theoretical results show that the data-driven procedures perform asymptotically as well as the oracle procedures and enjoy certain optimality properties. The empirical finite-sample performance of the proposed tests is studied via intensive simulations, and the new tests are applied on a real electroencephalography data analysis.

description: In this article, a chip-based reflectarray for operation at 240 GHz is presented, where the unit cell is designed in compatibility with standard chip technology to allow integration of a switchable element in a subsequent design iteration. Different reflection phase states are obtained by connecting a transmission line of variable length to an on-chip patch, which in turn is coupled to a radiating patch antenna on a glass superstrate. To verify the design, a large array synthesized from three discrete phase states is investigated in full-wave simulations for different beam steering scenarios. As a proof-of-concept, a back-end-of-line chip with a fixed phase progression is fabricated and assembled. Experimental characterization of its far-field radiation pattern successfully demonstrates beam steering by 41°.

description: Die Analyse der Umweltpolitik der letzten Jahrzehnte zeigt, dass, neben der Bedeutung von Zivilgesellschaft sowie Krisen und Katastrophen, politische Konflikte und politischer Wettbewerb dafür notwendig waren, um umweltpolitischen Neuerungen zum Durchbruch zu verhelfen. Wettbewerb und Konflikte gab es zwischen:Parteien,Politikebenen im Mehrebenensystem undPolitikfeldern (bzw. die Frage nach Politikintegration).Im Gegensatz zur erfolgreichen Thematisierung und Weiterentwicklung von Umweltpolitik gibt es eine Reihe von Themenfeldern, die zwar von vielen wissenschaftlichen und zivilgesellschaftlichen Akteuren für umweltpolitisch relevant erachtet werden, aber bislang nicht oder nur mit begrenztem Erfolg bearbeitet wurden. Demnach unzureichend umweltpolitisch adressiert sind insbesondere:Konsum und LebensstileWirtschaftswachstumFreihandel(spolitik)Etablierte Strukturen und BesitzständePreise und Mengen von Umweltverbrauch entlang der WertschöpfungskettePriorisierung von Umweltpolitik.Ursachen für die mangelnde Adressierung dieser Themen sind spezifische Problemstrukturen, bestimmte Kompetenzverteilungen und grundlegende Institutionen, kulturelle Werte und Normalitätsvorstellungen in unserer Gesellschaft, sowie spezifische Machtkonstellationen zwischen gesellschaftlichen Interessen sind, die dazu führen.Um die Institutionalisierung von Umweltpolitik auch in diesen Feldern voranzutreiben, erscheint uns eine Politisierung von Umweltpolitik notwendig, die darauf abzielt Legitimation und Akzeptanz für eine Weiterentwicklung von Umweltpolitik zu verbessern und dafür Möglichkeitsfenster zu schaffen und zu nutzen.
Саги о святом епископе Торлаке сыне Торхалля: краткий обзор изданий и переводов

description: Корпус исландских саг является одним из наиболее обширных источников по истории острова в Средние века. По содержанию их можно разделить на несколько типов, но для данного исследования наибольший интерес представляют так называемые Саги о епископах. Среди них нужно выделить саги о епископе Торлаке сыне Торхалля (1133–1193, епископ диоцеза на Палатном Холме с 1178 г.) — одной из наиболее значимых фигур в исландской истории, единственном из всех исландских клириков и иерархов, чьи заслуги признаны Римской католической церковью: 14 января 1984 г. он был официально причислен к лику святых. Наиболее полную информацию о нем содержат Старшая сага о епископе Торлаке и Прядь о людях из Одди, опубликованные в корпусе Саг о епископах. Первая из них создавалась, по всей вероятности, в качестве аналога европейским житиям святых с целью обосновать святость епископа Торлака для последующей его канонизации. Прядь о людях из Одди, вероятно, была написана с иной целью: одним из возможных мотивов является поддержка Торлака в его конфликте с главой родственного ему клана из Одди — Йоном сыном Лофта. Годом первой публикации саг можно считать 1858; последней — 2013. Таким образом, очевидно, что эти источники по-прежнему представляют интерес для исследователей. Выбор этих текстов в качестве темы настоящей статьи обусловлен тем, они являются наиболее полными свидетельствами о жизни епископа Торлака, записанными в характерной для Исландии саговой форме.

description: Action Through Churches in Time to Save Lives (ACTS) of Wellness was a cluster randomized controlled trial developed to promote colorectal cancer screening and physical activity (PA) within urban African American churches. Churches were recruited from North Carolina (n = 12) and Michigan (n = 7) and were randomized to intervention (n = 10) or comparison (n = 9). Intervention participants received three mailed tailored newsletters addressing colorectal cancer screening and PA behaviors over approximately 6 months. Individuals who were not up-to-date for screening at baseline could also receive motivational calls from a peer counselor. The main outcomes were up-to-date colorectal cancer screening and Metabolic Equivalency Task (MET)-hours/week of moderate-vigorous PA. Multivariate analyses examined changes in the main outcomes controlling for church cluster, gender, marital status, weight, and baseline values. Baseline screening was high in both intervention (75.9%, n = 374) and comparison groups (73.7%, n = 338). Screening increased at follow-up: +6.4 and +4.7 percentage points for intervention and comparison, respectively (p = .25). Baseline MET-hours/week of PA was 7.8 (95% confidence interval [6.8, 8.7]) for intervention and 8.7 (95% confidence interval [7.6, 9.8]) for the comparison group. There were no significant changes (p = .15) in PA for intervention (-0.30 MET-hours/week) compared with the comparison (-0.05 MET-hours/week). Among intervention participants, PA increased more for those who participated in church exercise programs, and screening improved more for those who spoke with a peer counselor or recalled the newsletters. Overall, the intervention did not improve PA or screening in an urban church population. These findings support previous research indicating that structured PA opportunities are necessary to promote change in PA and churches need more support to initiate effective peer counselor programs.

description: Смутное время — это период резкого изменения традиционных институтов. В данной статье Смута рассматривается как прецедент глубокого системного кризиса, охватывающего все сферы жизни. В это время присяга не просто ритуал, повторяющийся раз в несколько десятилетий при смене государя. В Смутное время этот институт обрастает множеством дополнительных функций. В условиях постоянной смены власти присяга является эффективным средством интеграции в новые жизненные реалии. Она становится одним из инструментов, с помощью которых власть пытается обосновать свою легитимность. Это двусторонний процесс, поскольку присяга как текст призвана максимально убедительно легитимировать власть правителя, а присяга как акт служит фактическим подтверждением истинности и законности такой власти, что может являться важным аргументом в последующей борьбе за власть. Какие социальные функции выполняет присяга в Смуту? Рассмотрев тексты крестоцеловальных записей, можно сделать вывод о том, что в акте крестоцелования сталкиваются интересы двух сторон: власть хочет доказать свою легитимность, приобрести как можно больше сторонников и предотвратить их измену, то есть переход на сторону конкурента в борьбе за власть; народ же пытается защитить себя и свое имущество, при этом стараясь извлечь материальную выгоду. Таким образом, в Смуту во время разрушения устоявшихся институтов присяга во многом становится не только подтверждением, но и источником власти.

Le texte examinera les forces et les faiblesses du recensement comme source pour ensuite presenter un exemple d'utilisation des donnees. Grace aux renseignements sur les langues maternelles des individus et leurs capacites de parler dans l'une ou les deux langues principales du Dominion, on observera en guise d'exemple le pourcentage des gens du Canton de Longueuil (Ontario) capable de s'exprimer dans les deux langues. De plus, cette etude ce penchera sur l'influence mutuelle des variables du recensement et des capacites des individus a converser dans les deux langues officielles. Le Canton de Longueuil, tout comme le Comte de Prescott, se distinguait en 1901 par son caractere predominant francophone et rural dans une province d'heritage britannique et de langue anglaise. Les pourcentages de bilinguisme de cette communaute a majorite franco-ontarienne ne refletent pas necessairement la proportion d'Ontariens capable de s'exprimer dans les deux langues principales du Canada. Cependant, ce texte se presente comme une invitation a une etude a plus grande echelle qui serait plus representative des capacites des Ontariens et des Canadiens en general a s'exprimer dans les deux langues.
«Не ради спора, но ради наставления в католической вере». Формы и задачи полемики против иудеев на латинском Западе (XII–XV века)

Subjects: антииудейская полемика в Средние века; диалог в Средние века; диспут в Тортосе; Петр Альфонси; Родриго Хименес де Рада; схоластический диспут.

description: В статье анализируются формы диалога, принятые в средневековой полемике против иудеев, в их развитии на протяжении трех веков, рассматриваются основные жанры, которые повлияли на характер этой полемики. В центре внимания автора находятся три текста: «Диалог» Петра Альфонси, «Диалог о Книге жизни» Родриго Хименеса де Рада и латинский протокол диспута в Тортосе. На их примере отслеживается развитие представлений полемистов о форме и целях диалога с иноверцами. Антииудейская полемика, несмотря на рецепцию многих диалектических техник, остается ориентированной на старые образцы учебных диалогов и катехизисов для сомневающихся верующих. Это связано с тем, что представление о споре с иноверцами остается прежним: иудейский собеседник, как правило, остается на вторых ролях, а целью такого диспута является не обмен мнениями для того, чтобы показать, чья вера истинна, а доказательство верности христианского вероучения. Эти тенденции проявляются и в литературном диалоге, и в реальном споре с иудеями.
Winter distribution and pre-breeding survival of the thick-billed murre, Uria lomvia, from the northwestern Atlantic. Implications for management of the Newfoundland turr hunt.

Subjects: subject: Biology, Ecology.

description: New legislation which entrenches regulation of the turr hunt in Newfoundland into the Migratory Birds Convention Act, will require good knowledge of thick-billed murre (Uria lomvia) population biology for proper implementation. The impact of hunting on the population is determined by factors such as total bag, season length and timing, and the age of birds killed. These in turn depend on the temporal and spatial distribution of murres of different ages and from different colonies. Birds in their first winter were recovered in greater numbers than birds from older age categories and were usually recovered earlier in the season. Recovery rates of first winter and second winter birds from Digges Island were significantly lower than those for birds of the same age from the adjacent colony on Coats Island suggesting different spatial distributions of the young birds from the two colonies. Differences in the overwintering areas for adults from Coburg Island and Cape Hay, again located closely together, differed significantly with Coburg adults recovered in greater numbers in Newfoundland while Cape Hay adults were recovered most often in Western Greenland. Using recoveries of birds banded on Coats Island, annual survival from fledging to first year was estimated at 0.53 using the program SURVIV. Survival from second to third year was estimated at 0.83, from third to fourth year was 0.74, from fourth to fifth year was 0.86. The estimate from third to fourth year was considered to be an underestimate as a result of the high mobility of third year birds at the colony. Based on these survival probabilities, survival to breeding age, using the best estimates from band recoveries and resightings was estimated at 0.27. (Abstract shortened by UMI.)
Дыхательная система праведников и акустика в раю. Комментарии на «Сентенции» как источники по истории средневековой науки

Subjects: богословие; история науки; комментарии на «Сентенции»; космология; эмпирей.

description: В XIII в. комментирование «Сентенций» Петра Ломбардского становится обязательным этапом в обучении богословию. Однако интересы комментаторов не ограничиваются сугубо богословскими темами; по мере эволюции жанра комментария авторов все чаще занимают натурфилософские проблемы. Этим объясняется значение комментариев на «Сентенции» для исследований по истории средневековой науки. В частности, такие источники позволяют судить о взаимодействии научного знания и христианского учения. В данной статье это утверждение рассматривается на конкретном примере дискуссий об эмпирее. Согласно средневековым богословам эта неподвижная, невидимая и неизвестная астрономам небесная сфера — обитель ангелов и блаженных после Страшного суда. Несмотря на его «теологическую» природу, комментаторы «Сентенций» пытаются вписать эмпирей в существующую научную картину мира. В соответствии с фундаментальной для средневековой натурфилософии теорией зависимости земного мира от небесного комментаторы приписывают данной сфере власть над земными телами. Рассуждая об обитателях эмпирея, они рассматривают пение пребывающих в нем блаженных как физический процесс распространения звука. Как показывает анализ комментариев, теология и физика влияют друг на друга. Эмпирей оказывается подчиненным законам природы, но некоторые научные концепции (необходимость движения для воздействия одного тела на другое; распространение звука в силу увеличения и уменьшения плотности среды) претерпевают заметные изменения.
Preventing sexually transmitted and blood borne infections (STBBIs) among sex workers: a critical review of the evidence on determinants and interventions in high-income countries
Creators: name: Argento, Elena

description: Background: Across diverse regions globally, sex workers continue to face a disproportionate burden of HIV and other sexually transmitted and blood borne infections (STBBIs). Evidence suggests that behavioural and biomedical interventions are only moderately successful in reducing STBBIs at the population level, leading to calls for increased structural and community-led interventions. Given that structural approaches to mitigating STBBI risk beyond HIV among sex workers in high-income settings remain poorly understood, this critical review aimed to provide a comprehensive synthesis of the global research and literature on determinants of HIV and other STBBIs and promising intervention practices for sex workers of all genders in high-income countries. Methods: We searched for publications over the last decade (January 2005–March 2016) among sex workers (cis women, cis men, and trans individuals). Data obtained from quantitative peer-reviewed studies were triangulated with publicly available reports and qualitative/ethnographic research where quantitative evidence was limited. Results: Research demonstrates consistent evidence of the direct and indirect impacts of structural factors (e.g., violence, stigma, criminalization, poor working conditions) on increasing risk for STBBIs among sex workers, further compounded by individual and interpersonal factors (e.g., mental health, substance use, unprotected sex). Sub-optimal access to health and STBBI prevention services remains concerning. Full decriminalization of sex work has been shown to have the largest potential to avert new infections in sex work, through reducing workplace violence and increasing access to safer workspaces. Promising practices and strategies that should be scaled-up and evaluated to prevent STBBIs are highlighted. Conclusions: The high burden of STBBIs among sex workers across high-income settings is of major concern. This review uniquely contributes to our understanding of multilevel factors that potentiate and mitigate STBBI risk for sex workers of all genders. Research suggests that multipronged structural and community-led approaches are paramount to addressing STBBI burden, and are necessary to realizing health and human rights for sex workers. Given the heterogeneity of sex worker populations, and distinct vulnerabilities faced by cis men and trans sex workers, further research utilizing mixed-methods should be implemented to delineate the intersections of risk and ameliorate critical health inequalities.

description: Context. It is of broad interest for galaxy formation theory to carry out a full inventory of the numbers and properties of dwarf galaxies, both satellite and isolated, in the Local Volume. Aims. Ultra-deep imaging in wide areas of the sky with small amateur telescopes can help to complete the census of these hitherto unknown low-surface-brightness galaxies, which cannot be detected by the current resolved stellar population and HI surveys. We report the discovery of Donatiello I, a dwarf spheroidal galaxy located one degree from the star Mirach (beta And) in a deep image taken with an amateur telescope. Methods. The color-magnitude diagram (CMD) obtained from follow-up observations obtained with the Gran Telescopio Canarias (La Palma, Spain) reveals that this system is beyond the local group and is mainly composed of old stars. The absence of young stars and HI emission in the ALFALFA survey is typical of quenched dwarf galaxies. Our photometry suggests a distance modulus for this galaxy of (m - M) = 27.6 +/- 0.2 (3.3 Mpc), although this distance cannot yet be established securely owing to the crowding effects in our CMD. At this distance, the absolute magnitude (M-v = -8.3), surface brightness (mu(v) = 26.5 mag arcsec(-2)), and stellar content of Donatiello I are similar to the "classical" Milky Way companions Draco or Ursa Minor. Results. The projected position and distance of Donatiello I are consistent with this object being a dwarf satellite of the closest S0-type galaxy NGC 404 ("Mirach's Ghost"). Alternatively, it could be one of the most isolated quenched dwarf galaxies reported so far behind the Andromeda galaxy.

description: Morphology matters: In a Li-free battery cell with organic electrodes consisting of a tetra-acetenyl-substituted porphyrin, the nanobrick- and nanoribbon-morphology porphyrin samples show higher rate cyclability than the nanosheet sample. The organic electrode material demonstrated a specific power density of 14 kW kg−1 and excellent rechargeability. Porphyrin complexes are well-known for their application in solar-cell systems and as catalysts; however, their use in electrochemical energy-storage applications has scarcely been studied. Here, a tetra-alkenyl-substituted [5,10,15,20-tetra(ethynyl)porphinato]copper(II) (CuTEP) complex was used as anode material in a high-performance lithium-free CuTEP/PP14TFSI/graphite cell [PP14TFSI=1-butyl-1-methylpiperidinium bis(trifluoromethylsulfonyl)imide]. Thereby, the influence of size and morphology on the electrochemical performance of the cell was thoroughly investigated. Three different nanocrystal CuTEP morphologies, namely nanobricks, nanosheets, and nanoribbons, were studied as anode material, and the best cyclability and highest rate capability were obtained for the nanoribbon samples. A high specific power density of 14 kW kg−1 (based on active material) and excellent rechargeability were achieved with negligible capacity decay over 1000 cycles at a high current density of 5 A g−1. These results indicate that the porphyrin complex CuTEP could be a promising electrode material in high-performance lithium-free batteries.

Disturbing the sound of silence: towards the thick vision of the long Soviet silence
Creators: name: Tumarkin, Maria
Publisher: name: Swinburne
Year: 2024

description: In a recent essay in Memory Studies, Paul Connerton distinguishes seven types of forgetting â- from repressive erasure through to forgetting as planned obsolescence or humiliated silence (2008: 59). He suggests that there could be many more kinds but his provisional taxonomy is, undoubtedly, an important and welcome step in breaking up the monolithic meanings of certain key words in trauma studies. An equally nuanced and differentiated view is necessary when we speak of being silent about, and in response to, the collectively shared experiences of terror. This paper seeks to begin this work of differentiated and attentive listening to silence by, on one hand, zeroing in on several historically specific, content and context-rich cultures of silence operating within the Soviet Union and, on the other hand, by tentatively reaching out to the knowledges garnered by performance studies in relation to questions of silence, performance, body and listening. I am not interested in this paper in attempting to classify and catalogue. Much like in a sound check, as opposed to a performance, I am concerned here with testing out a range of registers and, essentially, sounding things out. When I speak about a particular kind of silence, I imagine myself plucking a string and listening for a while. This approach, rather some form of intellectual pouncing on the subject at hand, seems to me to be a fitting way to start.

description: Adeno-associated viruses (AAV) are currently being evaluated in clinical trials for gene therapy of CNS disorders. However, host factors that influence the spread, clearance, and transduction efficiency of AAV vectors in the brain are not well understood. Recent studies have demonstrated that fluid flow mediated by aquaporin-4 (AQP4) channels located on astroglial end feet is essential for exchange of solutes between interstitial and cerebrospinal fluid. This phenomenon, which is essential for interstitial clearance of solutes from the CNS, has been termed glial-associated lymphatic transport or glymphatic transport. In the current study, we demonstrate that glymphatic transport profoundly affects various aspects of AAV gene transfer in the CNS. Altered localization of AQP4 in aged mouse brains correlated with significantly increased retention of AAV vectors in the parenchyma and reduced systemic leakage following ventricular administration. We observed a similar increase in AAV retention and transgene expression upon i.c.v. administration in AQP4-/- mice. Consistent with this observation, fluorophore-labeled AAV vectors showed markedly reduced flux from the ventricles of AQP4-/- mice compared with WT mice. These results were further corroborated by reduced AAV clearance from the AQP4-null brain, as demonstrated by reduced transgene expression and vector genome accumulation in systemic organs. We postulate that deregulation of glymphatic transport in aged and diseased brains could markedly affect the parenchymal spread, clearance, and gene transfer efficiency of AAV vectors. Assessment of biomarkers that report the kinetics of CSF flux in prospective gene therapy patients might inform variable treatment outcomes and guide future clinical trial design.

description: This present work consists of six points: (1) Nature and Scope of the thesis; (2) Problem and Method (first part of chapter one); (3) Research Hypothesis (second part of chapter one); (4) The use of quotations from Acts in Ecclesia in Africa (chapters three and four); (5) The allusions to Acts in Ecclesia in Africa (chapter five); Finally, the synthesis and Evaluation of the results of the Research (chapter six). The present study is hermeneutical and interdisciplinary in nature since it deals with the applied interpretation of Scripture (Acts) in a magisterial document (Ecclesia in Africa) and the meaning that results thereof. The thesis is a research inquiry, analysis and evaluation of the intertextual links between the Acts of the Apostles and Ecclesia in Africa. First and foremost, the work consists in identifying these intertextual links and secondly in analyzing and evaluating their significance in Acts and then in Ecclesia in Africa. This research is a pioneering work in the intertextual reading of Acts and Ecclesia in Africa in a way that has not been undertaken before. (Abstract shortened by UMI.)

description: Insects are under pressure from agricultural intensification. To protect pollinators, conservation measures such as the EU agri-environment schemes (AES) promote planting wildflowers along fields. However, this can potentially alter disease ecology by serving as transmission hubs or by diluting infections. We tested this by measuring plant–pollinator interactions and virus infections (DWV-A, DWV-B and ABPV) across pollinator communities in agricultural landscapes over a year. AES had a direct effect on DWV-B, reducing prevalence and load in honeybees, with a tentative general dilution effect on load in early summer. DWV-A prevalence was reduced both under AES and with increasing niche overlap between competent hosts, likely via a dilution effect. By contrast, AES had no impact on ABPV, its prevalence driven by the proportion of bumblebees in the community. Epidemiological differences were also reflected in the virus phylogenies, with DWV-B showing recent rapid expansion, while DWV-A and ABPV showed slower growth rates and geographical population structure. Phylogenies indicate that all three viruses freely circulate across their host populations. Our study illustrates how complex interactions between environmental, ecological and evolutionary factors may influence wildlife disease dynamics. Supporting pollinator nutrition can mitigate the transmission of important bee diseases, providing an unexpected boost to pollinator conservation.

description: We learn decision lists over a space of features that are constructed from the data. A practical machine which we call the Decision List Machine comes as a result. We construct the Decision List Machine which uses generalized balls as data-dependent features. We compare practical performance on some data sets with the performance of some other learning algorithms such as the Set Covering Machine and the Support Vector Machine. This performance is evaluated for both symmetric and asymmetric loss coefficients. We also provide a theoretical assessment of the performance of the DAM by computing upper bounds of the generalization error.

description: Background: Airflow obstruction is a hallmark of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), and is defined as either the ratio between forced expiratory volume in one second and forced vital capacity (FEV1/FVC) < 70% or < lower limit of normal (LLN). This study aimed to assess the overlap between genome-wide association studies (GWAS) on airflow obstruction using these two definitions in the same population stratified by smoking. Methods: GWASes were performed in the LifeLines Cohort Study for both airflow obstruction definitions in never-smokers (NS = 5071) and ever-smokers (ES = 4855). The FEV1/FVC < 70% models were adjusted for sex, age, and height; FEV1/FVC < LLN models were not adjusted. Ever-smokers models were additionally adjusted for pack-years and current-smoking. The overlap in significantly associated SNPs between the two definitions and never/ever-smokers was assessed using several p-value thresholds. To quantify the agreement, the Pearson correlation coefficient was calculated between the p-values and ORs. Replication was performed in the Vlagtwedde-Vlaardingen study (NS = 432, ES = 823). The overlapping SNPs with p < 10− 4 were validated in the Vlagtwedde-Vlaardingen and Rotterdam Study cohorts (NS = 1966, ES = 3134) and analysed for expression quantitative trait loci (eQTL) in lung tissue (n = 1087). Results: In the LifeLines cohort, 96% and 93% of the never- and ever-smokers were classified concordantly based on the two definitions. 26 and 29% of the investigated SNPs were overlapping at p < 0.05 in never- and ever-smokers, respectively. At p < 10− 4 the overlap was 4% and 6% respectively, which could be change findings as shown by simulation studies. The effect estimates of the SNPs of the two definitions correlated strongly, but the p-values showed more variation and correlated only moderately. Similar observations were made in the Vlagtwedde-Vlaardingen study. Two overlapping SNPs in never-smokers (NFYC and FABP7) had the same direction of effect in the validation cohorts and the NFYC SNP was an eQTL for NFYC-AS1. NFYC is a transcription factor that binds to several known COPD genes, and FABP7 may be involved in abnormal pulmonary development. Conclusions: The definition of airflow obstruction and the population under study may be important determinants of which SNPs are associated with airflow obstruction. The genes FABP7 and NFYC(-AS1) could play a role in airflow obstruction in never-smokers specifically.

description: Ample research suggests that social connection reliably generates positive emotions. Oxytocin, a neuropeptide implicated in social cognition and behavior, is one biological mechanism that may influence an individual's capacity to extract positive emotions from social contexts. Because variation in certain genes may indicate underlying neurobiological differences, we tested whether several SNPs in two genes related to oxytocin signaling would show effects on positive emotions that were context-specific, depending on sociality. For six weeks, a sample of mid-life adults (N=122) participated in either socially-focused loving-kindness training or mindfulness training. During this timespan they reported their positive emotions daily. Five SNPs within OXTR and CD38 were assayed, and each was tested for its individual effect on daily emotions. The hypothesized three-way interaction between time, training type, and genetic variability emerged: Individuals homozygous for the G allele of OXTR rs1042778 experienced gains in daily positive emotions from loving-kindness training, whereas individuals with the T allele did not experience gains in positive emotions with either training. These findings are among the first to show how genetic differences in oxytocin signaling may influence an individual's capacity to experience positive emotions as a result of a socially-focused intervention.
