description: In late 2009, the Office of Science and Technology Policy issued a request for input (RFI) regarding “enhancing public access to archived publications resulting from research funded by Federal science and technology agencies”. Motivated by President Obamas focus on building an “unprecedented level of openness in government focused on research funded by US tax dollars”, the RFI was only originally open from December 10, 2009 to January 7, 2010, with primary input provided via an online blog. Requests from scholarly publishers, including the AAS, extended this deadline by a few weeks, which allowed more substantive input as well as allowing the inclusion of the Scholarly Publishing Roundtable recommendations (details available at: http://www.aau.edu/policy/scholarly_publishing_roundtable.aspx?id=6894). As of early February, it is not yet clear what OSTP will do with this input, but it is highly likely the agency will move forward with a formal Proposed Rulemaking (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Notice_of_proposed_rulemaking), which will be announced in the Federal Register (http://www.gpoaccess.gov/fr/). This formal process allows for community input, presentation of a draft rule or policy, community comment on the draft and presentation of a revised draft, prior to final enactment of a formal government policy. The timeline for this process is announced at the time the rulemaking is announced and is typically 90 days in total. I will present the current status of this US government action and the AAS position on this issue moving forward as it applies to the publications of the Society.

description: Non-profit organisations are valued because they provide services that address unmet needs. Nonprofits who engage in social entrepreneurship augment their contributions through new services, programmes, enterprises and revenue generated. It is not surprising, therefore, for policy makers to encourage social entrepreneurship, service innovations and social enterprises. However, not all nonprofits seek to innovate by creating revenue-generating social enterprises. They may continue to devote themselves to specific fields and existing practices through other forms of service innovations instead. The intent of nonprofits in starting new services is investigated through a two-pronged quantitative and qualitative research approach.
 In the quantitative section, a survey is conducted on non-profit organisations in Singapore to measure their intentions in initiating social enterprises and the influence of organisational attributes on these intentions. Entrepreneurship research suggests that under certain conditions, organisations engage in entrepreneurship through new ventures, projects, and innovations. Hence, it is of interest when incumbent nonprofits engage in social entrepreneurship and to find out the key variables that influence their decisions or intentions to create social enterprises.
 In the qualitative research, interviews are conducted with selected nonprofits on their intentions towards service innovations. The term “service innovations” is generally understood by the respondents as new or significally improved services, which for some, include social enterprises as well.
 This research found that social cause, organisation efficacy and innovativeness are key attributes in the intent towards either social entrepreneurship or service innovations. The interviews revealed that the need of the organisation to stay relevant and serve their beneficiaries better takes precedence over other factors such as availability of funding and having the relevant capabilities within the organisation. This has policy implications for policy makers seeking to foster innovativeness within the nonprofit sector.

description: This episode of the Völkerrechtliche Tagesthemen focuses on State-owned enterprises (SOEs), which play an important role in the global economy in various sectors and industries. SOEs - such as Gazprom – are often active in strategic industries and critical sectors such as energy, telecommunications, transport, and banking. States use SOEs not only to secure resources or establish trade relations, but also to influence the economies of other states for (geo-)political purposes. The recent report ‘Gazprom - The Perfect Weapon’ shows that the German government only realised after the Russian invasion of Ukraine that Russia has long been using gas as an instrument to impose its will on states. The lecture will discuss how the relevance of state-owned enterprises as instruments of a state's foreign policy is addressed in international law, in particular in the law of state immunity, investment protection and human rights law.

description: Little is known about what works to reduce smoking among Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people, including about the effectiveness of advertising and information (advertising), news stories and warning labels. This thesis addresses this knowledge-gap with a series of eight papers from the Talking About the Smokes project; a national study of smoking and quitting among Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people based on the International Tobacco Control policy evaluation project. In this thesis, I first consider the context of smoking and quitting, explore what attitudes and beliefs are most salient and influential, and describe past quit attempts and determinants of wanting to quit. I then investigate the reach and impact of advertising (mainstream and targeted), news stories and warning labels on quit attempts and related attitudes and beliefs. The principal findings were: 1. Recall of advertising and warning labels (but not news stories) was high, and was prospectively associated with developing concern about the health effects of smoking and interest in quitting. These associations were stronger for recall of targeted and local advertising than for mainstream advertising. 2. Warning labels appeared to contribute to knowledge about the health effects that had featured on packs. 3. Most smokers (70%) wanted to quit smoking, knew the most harmful effects of smoking and held negative attitudes towards smoking. 4. Concern for the health of others appeared to be more motivational than knowledge about direct harms of smoking. 5. Although held by a minority (40%) of smokers, the belief that Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander community leaders disapprove of smoking appeared more motivational than believing society disapproves of smoking. 6. Even in the presence of strong motivation, most participants had never sustained a quit attempt one month or longer, particularly if they lacked employment, education, financial security, or were from a remote area.

description: This episode of the Völkerrrechtliche Tagesthemen focuses on the ongoing trend of introducing Maritime Autonomous Surface Ships (MASS) to commercial shipping. It addresses whether the MASS meets the standards set forth in the UNCLOS, SOLAS, MARPOL, and various other international instruments. How will the precautionary principle be implemented considering the scientific uncertainties of MASS? How can it be ensured that the MASS will comply with the international rules and standards to be safe, reliable, and do no harm to the marine environment? The MASS must prove that it does not present an increased risk of pollution catastrophes. This lecture will attempt to clarify the above-mentioned environmental concerns of the MASS under a multi-level set of regulations.

description: Flooding causes severe crop losses in many parts of the world. Genetic variation in flooding tolerance exists in many species; however, there are few examples for the identification of tolerance genes and their underlying function. We conducted a genome-wide association study (GWAS) in 387 Arabidopsis (Arabidopsis thaliana) accessions. Plants were subjected to prolonged submergence followed by desubmergence, and seven traits (score, water content, Fv/Fm, and concentrations of nitrate, chlorophyll, protein, and starch) were quantified to characterize their acclimation responses. These traits showed substantial variation across the range of accessions. A total of 35 highly significant single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) were identified across the 20 GWA datasets, pointing to 22 candidate genes, with functions in TCA cycle, DNA modification, and cell division. Detailed functional characterization of one candidate gene, ACONITASE3 (ACO3), was performed. Chromatin immunoprecipitation followed by sequencing showed that a single nucleotide polymorphism in the ACO3 promoter co-located with the binding site of the master regulator of retrograde signaling ANAC017, while subcellular localization of an ACO3-YFP fusion protein confirmed a mitochondrial localization during submergence. Analysis of mutant and overexpression lines determined changes in trait parameters that correlated with altered submergence tolerance and were consistent with the GWAS results. Subsequent RNA-seq experiments suggested that impairing ACO3 function increases the sensitivity to submergence by altering ethylene signaling, whereas ACO3 overexpression leads to tolerance by metabolic priming. These results indicate that ACO3 impacts submergence tolerance through integration of carbon and nitrogen metabolism via the mitochondrial TCA cycle and impacts stress signaling during acclimation to stress.

description: Background: Understanding how elevated atmospheric CO2 (eCO2) impacts on phosphorus (P) transformation in plant rhizosphere is critical for maintaining ecological sustainability in response to climate change, especially in agricultural systems where soil P availability is low. Methods: This study used rhizoboxes to physically separate rhizosphere regions (plant root-soil interface) into 1.5-mm segments. Wheat plants were grown in rhizoboxes under eCO2 (800 ppm) and ambient CO2 (400 ppm) in two farming soils, Chromosol and Vertosol, supplemented with phytate (organic P). Photosynthetic carbon flow in the plant-soil continuum was traced with 13CO2 labeling. Amplicon sequencing was performed on the rhizosphere-associated microbial community in the root-growth zone, and 1.5 mm and 3 mm away from the root. Results: Elevated CO2 accelerated the mineralization of phytate in the rhizosphere zones, which corresponded with increases in plant-derived 13C enrichment and the relative abundances of discreet phylogenetic clades containing Bacteroidetes and Gemmatimonadetes in the bacterial community, and Funneliformis affiliated to arbuscular mycorrhizas in the fungal community. Although the amplicon sequence variants (ASVs) associated the stimulation of phytate mineralization under eCO2 differed between the two soils, these ASVs belonged to the same phyla associated with phytase and phosphatase production. The symbiotic mycorrhizas in the rhizosphere of wheat under eCO2 benefited from increased plant C supply and increased P access from soil. Further supportive evidence was the eCO2-induced increase in the genetic pool expressing the pentose phosphate pathway, which is the central pathway for biosynthesis of RNA/DNA precursors. Conclusions: The results suggested that an increased belowground carbon flow under eCO2 stimulated bacterial growth, changing community composition in favor of phylotypes capable of degrading aromatic P compounds. It is proposed that energy investments by bacteria into anabolic processes increase under eCO2 to level microbial P-use efficiencies and that synergies with symbiotic mycorrhizas further enhance the competition for and mineralization of organic P.

description: Background: Management decisions in health influence patient care outcomes; however, health management development courses in China are rare. This study aims to document and evaluate a transnational Master of Health Administration (MHA) course launched in 2000 for the benefit of Chinese health managers. Methods: A case study of the MHA program jointly run by an Australian university and a Chinese Medical University was conducted. We reviewed the development of the MHA course through a document analysis (key events recorded in achieves, minutes, and audits) followed by reflection (by two course coordinators), extracting key themes related to adaptative strategies. We then conducted a questionnaire survey of 139 graduates seeking their views on relevance, satisfaction and challenges associated with each subject within the course, the relevance of key management skills (as determined by the Australasian College of Health Service Management competency framework), and the impact of the course on their personal career trajectories. Chi-square tests identified differences in the responses by age, gender, pre-training position, and current workplace. Results: The curriculum pedagogy followed the principles of practice-based reflective learning. Research findings and student feedback shaped the curriculum design and subject content, to enhance management practices of the students. Survey participants expressed high levels of satisfaction and confirmed the relevance of all study subjects. Two subjects, health economics and data management, were perceived as being the most challenging. Of the ten management skills we assessed, relatively low self-rated confidence was found in “strategic thinking” and “planning”. Younger and less experienced graduates were more likely to report learning challenges (p < 0.05). Frontline managers were least likely to obtain promotion by changing employers (χ2 = 6.02, p < 0.05) or being seconded to another position (χ2 = 9.41, p < 0.01). Conclusions: This case study illustrates the suitability of cross-country partnerships in health management training, which offers opportunities for managers to systematically explore and acquire a comprehensive set of management skills applicable to their career needs. Opportunities for developing training aligned to career development opportunities are critical for attracting and developing a competent and well-prepared health service management workforce in China.

description: OBJECTIVE: To systematically review and synthesise patellofemoral joint reaction force (PFJRF) in healthy individuals and those with patellofemoral pain and osteoarthritis (OA), during everyday activities, therapeutic exercises and with physical interventions (eg, foot orthotics, footwear, taping, bracing). DESIGN: A systematic review with meta-analysis. DATA SOURCES: Medline, Embase, Scopus, CINAHL, SportDiscus and Cochrane Library databases were searched. ELIGIBILITY CRITERIA: Observational and interventional studies reporting PFJRF during everyday activities, therapeutic exercises, and physical interventions. RESULTS: In healthy individuals, the weighted average of mean (±SD) peak PFJRF for everyday activities were: walking 0.9±0.4 body weight (BW), stair ascent 3.2±0.7 BW, stair descent 2.8±0.5 BW and running 5.2±1.2 BW. In those with patellofemoral pain, peak PFJRF were: walking 0.8±0.2 BW, stair ascent 2.5±0.5 BW, stair descent 2.6±0.5 BW, running 4.1±0.9 BW. Only single studies reported peak PFJRF during everyday activities in individuals with patellofemoral OA/articular cartilage defects (walking 1.3±0.5 BW, stair ascent 1.6±0.4 BW, stair descent 1.0±0.5 BW). The PFJRF was reported for many different exercises and physical interventions; however, considerable variability precluded any pooled estimates. SUMMARY: Everyday activities and exercises involving larger knee flexion (eg, squatting) expose the patellofemoral joint to higher PFJRF than those involving smaller knee flexion (eg, walking). There were no discernable differences in peak PFJRF during everyday activities between healthy individuals and those with patellofemoral pain/OA. The information on PFJRF may be used to select appropriate variations of exercises and physical interventions.

description: Defensins form an integral part of the cationic host defence peptide (HDP) family, a key component of innate immunity. Apart from their antimicrobial and immunomodulatory activities, many HDPs exert multifaceted effects on tumour cells, notably direct oncolysis and/or inhibition of tumour cell migration. Therefore, HDPs have been explored as promising anticancer therapeutics. Human βdefensin 2 (HBD-2) represents a prominent member of human HDPs, being well-characterised for its potent pathogen-killing, wound-healing, cytokine-inducing and leukocyte-chemoattracting functions. However, its anticancer effects remain largely unknown. Recently, we demonstrated that HBD-2 binds strongly to phosphatidylinositol-4,5-bisphosphate (PI(4,5)P2 ), a key mediator of defensin-induced cell death and an instructional messenger during cell migration. Hence, in this study, we sought to investigate the lytic and anti-migratory effects of HBD-2 on tumour cells. Using various cell biological assays and confocal microscopy, we showed that HBD-2 killed tumour cells via acute lytic cell death rather than apoptosis. In addition, our data suggested that, despite the reported PI(4,5)P2 interaction, HBD-2 does not affect cytoskeletal-dependent tumour cell migration. Together, our findings provide further insights into defensin biology and informs future defensin-based drug development.

description: Varicella zoster virus (VZV) causes the common childhood isease chickenpox (varicella), or upon reactivation, the dermatomal vesiculopustular eruption seen in shingles (herpes zoster). The clinical course of herpes zoster in immunocompromised patients is often recurrent, protracted and multidermatomal, and it can result in myelitis, meningoencephalitis, and cerebral or small-vessel vasculopathic or vasculitic changes. Commonly, the vesicular rash settles with aciclovir therapy and does not involve motor neuropathy. We report a 63-year-old man with a prolonged, multider- matomal, nonvesicular rash, and limb paresis secondary to brachioplexitis. PCR for VZV was positive, and the histological results were consistent with granulomatous vasculopathy. Prolonged treatment with valaciclovir was required to resolve the eruption and help improve the patient’s motor function. We discuss the problems faced in clinical decision-making about immunosuppressive treatment of granuloma- tous vasculopathy and motor neuropathy, when any increase in immunosuppressive therapy may increase the likelihood of central nervous system complications.

description:   
Background. Digital technologies play a significant role in people’s sexual and intimate lives via smart phones, cameras, dating apps and social media. Although there is a large body of research on the potential risks posed by these technologies, research on benefits and pleasures is limited. 
Methods. This study explored digital sexual practices, including perceptions of risks and benefits among a sample of Australian adults (n = 445). Data were collected in 2020 via an online survey. Descriptive and bivariate analyses were undertaken to identify significant relationships between demographic variables and the use of technologies in relation to perceived risks and benefits. The mean age of participants was 42 years, over half were women (58.5%) and identified as heterosexual (61.1%). 
Results. Findings reveal that use of digital media was common in participants’ sex lives and relationships; 60.3% of participants had viewed pornography online, 34.9% had used dating apps, and 33.9% had sent sexual or naked self-images to another person. Over one in three reported positive outcomes from this: 38.2% felt emotionally connected to their partners due to online communication; 38.0% agreed that digital technologies facilitated closer connections; however, the majority of participants were aware of potential risks associated with online sexual engagement, particularly non-consensual exposure of their sexual or naked images, with women expressing greater concern. 
Conclusions. Policy, legal and educational responses should be based on holistic understanding of digital sexual engagement, acknowledging the ways in which technologies can support sexual relationships while also building people’s knowledge and capacity to manage risks.
The effect of saccadic response time on the reference frame of inhibition of return
Creators: name: Mathôt, Sebastiaan
name: Theeuwes, Jan
Publisher: name: figshare
Year: 2013
Subjects: Behavioral Neuroscience

description: We have previously shown that oculomotor inhibition of return is predominantly retinotopic (gaze-centred) immediately following a saccadic eye movement, and predominantly spatiotopic (world-centred) at longer post-saccadic delays (Mathôt & Theeuwes, 2010a). This claim has been contested by Hilchey et al. (2012), who re-analysed our data after removing very fast saccades (<100ms) and observed that removing these saccades attenuated the effect of interest. Here we report an elaborate re-analysis of that same dataset. We show that recent conflicting reports on the reference frame of inhibition of return can likely be reconciled by a previously unrecognised effect of saccadic response time. Oculomotor inhibition of return is predominantly retinotopic at short post-saccadic delays, particularly for fast saccades. In contrast, oculomotor inhibition of return is predominantly spatiotopic at longer post-saccadic delays, particularly for slow saccades. With respect to previous studies, differences in paradigm and trial exclusion criteria may have resulted in different distributions of saccadic response times, thus leading to different conclusions regarding the reference frame of inhibition of return. Finally, we argue that the effects reported here are not specific to inhibition of return, but reflect general mechanisms that are observed across a wide range of attentional, visuomotor, and visuotactile phenomena.

description: CASE B: Impact of a egg in a rigid floor at 2500 mm/s. Crack and spill of the yolk. The egg bounces Tests were performed by crashing the specimens on a rigid support. To evaluate the impact damage resistance, specimens were dropped from height levels varying in the range from 50 to 1500 mm with its subsequent change of the impact velocity. With the aim of visualize the impact event details, a high-speed camera MotionBLITZ Cube4 were used.

description: Background: While meta-analyses confirm treatment for chronic post-stroke aphasia is effective, a lack of comparative evidence for different interventions limits prescription accuracy. We investigated whether Constraint-Induced Aphasia Therapy Plus (CIAT-plus) and/or Multimodality Aphasia Therapy (M-MAT) provided greater therapeutic benefit compared with usual community care and were differentially effective according to baseline aphasia severity. Methods: We conducted a three-arm, multicentre, parallel group, open-label, blinded endpoint, phase III, randomised-controlled trial. We stratified eligible participants by baseline aphasia on the Western Aphasia Battery-Revised Aphasia Quotient (WAB-R-AQ). Groups of three participants were randomly assigned (1:1:1) to 30 hours of CIAT-Plus or M-MAT or to usual care (UC). Primary outcome was change in aphasia severity (WAB-R-AQ) from baseline to therapy completion analysed in the intention-to-treat population. Secondary outcomes included word retrieval, connected speech, functional communication, multimodal communication, quality of life and costs. Results: We analysed 201 participants (70 in CIAT-Plus, 70 in M-MAT and 61 in UC). Aphasia severity was not significantly different between groups at postintervention: 1.05 points (95% CI -0.78 to 2.88; p=0.36) UC group vs CIAT-Plus; 1.06 points (95% CI -0.78 to 2.89; p=0.36) UC group vs M-MAT; 0.004 points (95% CI -1.76 to 1.77; p=1.00) CIAT-Plus vs M-MAT. Word retrieval, functional communication and communication-related quality of life were significantly improved following CIAT-Plus and M-MAT. Word retrieval benefits were maintained at 12-week follow-up. Conclusions: CIAT-Plus and M-MAT were effective for word retrieval, functional communication, and quality of life, while UC was not. Future studies should explore predictive characteristics of responders and impacts of maintenance doses.

description: The dark web has been confronted with a significant increase in the number and variety of onion services of illegitimate and criminal intent. Anonymity, encryption, and the technical complexity of the Tor network are key challenges in detecting, disabling, and regulating such services. Instead of tracking an operational location, cyber threat intelligence can become more proactive by utilizing recent advances in Artificial Intelligence (AI) to detect and classify onion services based on the content, as well as provide an interpretation of the classification outcome. In this paper, we propose a novel multimodal classification approach based on explainable deep learning that classifies onion services based on the image and text content of each site. A Convolutional Neural Network with Gradient-weighted Class Activation Mapping (Grad-CAM) and a pre-trained word embedding with Bahdanau additive attention are the core capabilities of this approach that classify and contextualize the representative features of an onion service. We demonstrate the superior classification accuracy of this approach as well as the role of explainability in decision-making that collectively enables proactive cyber threat intelligence in the dark web.
