description: Introdução: Neste trabalho avaliamos as características epidemiológicas e os resultados cirúrgicos dos doentes com descolamento de retina regmatogéneo (DRR). Métodos: Estudo retrospetivo dos doentes submetidos a cirurgia de DRR no Hospital Pedro Hispano, entre Janeiro de 2015 e Dezembro de 2016. Resultados: Analisaram-se 83 olhos de 83 doentes (48 homens e 35 mulheres). A média etária foi de 61,5 ± 13,4 anos e o tempo médio entre o início dos sintomas e a avaliação oftalmológica foi de 20 ± 37 dias. Cerca de 63,9% dos doentes apresentavam mácula off e em 24,7% dos casos, o DRR era total. A média da melhor acuidade visual corrigida (MAVC) pré-operatória foi de 0,2 ± 0,3. A técnica cirúrgica efetuada na maioria dos casos foi a vitrectomia via pars plana (90,3%). A taxa de sucesso anatómico final foi de 96,4% e a média da MAVC final foi de 0,5 ± 0,4, sendo que 54% dos doentes apresentaram acuidade visual final ≥ 0,5. Verificou-se associação entre os resultados funcionais e o estado da mácula, acuidade visual pré-operatória e extensão do DR. Conclusões: O DRR foi mais comum nos homens (1,4:1), com maior incidência entre os 61-70 anos. Um número significativo de doentes (33%) demorou mais de uma semana a recorrer ao hospital após o início dos sintomas. Estes dados contribuem para a identificação das subpopulações de maior risco, e reforçam a necessidade de alertar para os sintomas do DRR, de forma a minimizar o risco de cegueira através de um diagnóstico e tratamento atempados.

description: We study the beam reflection from a layered structure with a left-handed metamaterial. We predict a giant lateral (Goos-Hanchen) shift and splitting of the beam due to the resonant excitation of surface polaritons with a vortex-like energy flow between the right- and left-handed materials.

description: Motivated by some of the recent swampland conjectures, we study the implementation for the late time acceleration of the Universe of a mechanism developed by Anber and Sorbo in the context of primordial inflation, in which an axion field can slowly roll in a steep potential due to additional friction provided by its coupling to some U(1) gauge field. We first study the realization of this mechanism in N = 2 supergravity models resulting from string compactifications on Calabi--Yau manifolds. We then study the transition between matter domination and the axion domination, and show that indeed the backreaction of the produced gauge field can sufficiently slow the motion of the axion, so to produce the present accelerated era. We finally study the transition from a pre-inflationary matter or radiation domination to primordial inflation. In the regime that we could explore numerically, the evolution is characterized by stages of faster axion roll (and consequent bursts of gauge field amplification) intermitted by stages of slower roll, with a pattern that "oscillates'' about the steady state Anber and Sorbo solution, but that does not appear to relax to it.

description: Let $\mathcal{E}$ be a $\mathbb{Q}$-isogeny class of elliptic curves defined over $\mathbb{Q}$. The isogeny graph associated to $\mathcal{E}$ is a graph which has a vertex for each elliptic curve in the $\mathbb{Q}$-isogeny class $\mathcal{E}$, and an edge for each cyclic $\mathbb{Q}$-isogeny of prime degree between elliptic curves in the isogeny class, with the degree recorded as a label of the edge. In this paper, we define an isogeny-torsion graph to be an isogeny graph where, in addition, we label each vertex with the abstract group structure of the torsion subgroup over $\mathbb{Q}$ of the corresponding elliptic curve. Then, the main result of the article is a classification of all the possible isogeny-torsion graphs that occur for $\mathbb{Q}$-isogeny classes of elliptic curves defined over the rationals.

description: We compute the symbol of the first two-loop amplitudes in planar ${\cal N}=4$ SYM with algebraic letters, the eight-point NMHV amplitude (or the dual octagon Wilson loops). We show how to apply $\bar{Q}$ equations for computing the differential of two-loop $n$-point NMHV amplitudes and present the result for n=8 explicitly. The symbol alphabet for octagon consists of 180 independent rational letters and 18 algebraic ones involving Gram-determinant square roots. We comment on all-loop predictions for final entries and aspects of the result valid for all multiplicities.

description: A doença da arranhadura do gato é uma infeção causada pela Bartonella henselae, usualmente transmitida ao ser humano através da arranhadura ou mordedura de gato. A manifestação clínica mais comum é a linfadenite, mas 5 a 10% dos doentes com doença da arranhadura do gato podem ter envolvimento ocular. Os autores apresentam o caso clínico de uma doente de 46 anos de idade com neurorretinite unilateral secundária a infeção por Bartonella henselae. O presente caso clínico alerta para a necessidade do reconhecimento das manifestações clínicas da doença que, sendo geralmente auto-limitadas e inespecíficas, podem associar-se a complicações potencialmente graves.

description: Aim: This paper aims to study in-vitro and in-vivo evaluation of chitosan (CHI) biocomposite of gentamicin nanoparticles (GNPs) for wound healing. Methods: In this study, CHI nanoparticles (NPs) were prepared using the ionic gelation technique. GNP biocomposites were examined on the excision wound model in Wistar rats to determine the in-vivo efficiency. Results: The diameter and zeta potential of NPs were between 151–212.9 nm and 37.2 − 51.1 mV, respectively. The entrapment efficiency was in an acceptable range of 36.6–42.7% w/w. The release test information was fitted to mathematical models (Zero, First order, Higuchi, and Korsmeyer–Peppas), and according to calculations, the kinetics of drug release followed the Korsmeyer–Peppas model. A comparison of thermograms revealed that the drug was present in the formulation in a non-crystalline form. Conclusion: Histological studies of the wound showed that the rate of skin tissue repair was higher in the GNP biocomposite treatment group than in the others.

description: Objetivo: Avaliar a influência da implantação de segmentos de anel corneanos intra-estromais (SACIE) na qualidade de vida de doentes com queratocone, através do National Eye Institute Visual Function Questionnaire-25 (NEI VFQ-25). Material e Métodos: Estudo retrospetivo descritivo de 18 doentes com diagnóstico de queratocone, submetidos a implantação de SACIE entre 2011 e 2017. Administrou-se o NEI VFQ-25, ajustado ao desenho retrospetivo do estudo e à língua portuguesa. Os resultados foram avaliados em conjunto com dados pré e pós-operatórios de acuidade visual melhor corrigida (AVMC), curvatura máxima da superfície anterior da córnea (Kmáx), astigmatismo queratométrico (AQ) e valor quadrático médio da aberração de coma (VQMAC). Resultados: Observaram-se melhorias estatisticamente significativas da AVMC (p=0,001), de uma mediana pré-operatória de 0,40 para 0,65, e do score composto do NEI VFQ-25 (p=0,001), de 70,21 para 80,51 no pós-operatório. Adicionalmente, verificaram-se diminuições estatisticamente significativas da Kmáx (p=0,012), de uma mediana de 59,20 para 53,90 dioptrias, e do VQMAC (p=0,001), de 2,63 µm para 1,81 µm. A diminuição da mediana do AQ, de -3,25 para -1,50 dioptrias, não foi estatisticamente significativa (p=0,896). Conclusões: A implantação de SACIE no queratocone melhora significativamente medidas clínicas e topográficas de visão, assim como a qualidade de vida dos doentes.

description: Included species. Hawaiiandra puncticeps (Sharp, 1878), comb. nov.
 Geographical distribution (Fig. 315). Hawaiian Islands.
 Comments. Hawaiiandra differs from Birandra, mainly, by the absence of the small tooth at the apex of the latero-outer face of the mandible of the male (Fig. 75), by the mandible of the female (Fig. 74) similar to those of Parandra and Archandra, by the short galea (Fig. 199), and by the procoxal cavities slightly open behind. In Birandra, the mandibles in both sexes have a small tooth at the apex of the latero-outer face, the mandibles of the female (Fig. 119) are different from that of Parandra (Fig. 121) and Archandra, the galea is long (reaching or surpassing the apex of the second segment of maxillary palp), and the procoxal cavities are clearly open behind.
 Hawaiiandra differs from Acutandra, mainly, by the mandibles strongly differentiated between the sexes (sub-equal in Acutandra). Differs from Parandra, Archandra, Neandra and Stenandra, by the procoxal cavities open behind (closed in the four genera). From Neandra, differs also by the presence of paronychium (absent in Neandra). From Komiyandra, differs by the mandibles of the major male clearly falciform (Fig. 123), and by the veins MP 3 and MP 4 fused at their apex (Fig. 209). In Komiyandra, the mandibles of the major male are sub-falciform (Fig. 154), and the veins MP 3 and MP 4 are not fused at their apex (Fig. 211). Differs from Melanesiandra by the absence of the teeth at the apex of the lateroouter face of the mandibles of the major male, by the procoxal cavities slightly open behind, and by the paronychium with two setae. In Melanesiandra, the apex of the latero-outer face of the mandibles in both sexes have small teeth, the procoxal cavities are clearly open behind, and the paronychium has a single seta.
 Curiously, Archandra caspia (Ménétriés, 1832) from Asia, and many species of Parandra from America, have a similar general appearance to Hawaiiandra and that species, in turn, has a similar appearance to some species from the Oriental Province, mainly Melanesiandra striatifrons. That seems to contradict the theory of Lameere (1902) that Archandra (which included the species presently placed in Parandra) is the most primitive group, primarily because the species of Parandrinae are obviously Gondwanan and the Hawaiian Islands are geologically new, besides the isolation of Archandra in relation to Parandra.

An energy-preserving level set method for multiphase flows

description: The computation of multiphase flows presents a subtle energetic equilibrium between potential (i.e., surface) and kinetic energies. The use of traditional interface-capturing schemes provides no control over such a dynamic balance. In the spirit of the wellknown symmetry-preserving and mimetic schemes, whose physics-compatible discretizations rely upon preserving the underlying mathematical structures of the space, we identify the corresponding structure and propose a new discretization strategy for curvature. The new scheme ensures conservation of mechanical energy (i.e., surface plus kinetic) up to temporal integration. Inviscid numerical simulations are performed to show the robustness of such a method.

description: The time-dependent flux over the fission barrier of an excited nucleus under the influence of dissipation is investigated. Characteristic features of the evolution of the amplitude of the probability distribution and the velocity profile at the fission barrier are derived. Analytical results are compared to numerical Langevin calculations and used to develop a new analytical approximation to the solution of the Fokker-Planck equation for the time-dependent fission-decay width. This approximation is shown to be more realistic than previously proposed descriptions, which were widely used in the past.

The Detection of 13CO and Other Apparent Abundance Anomalies in the Secondary Stars of Long-Period Cataclysmic Variables

description: We present moderate resolution (R > 1,800) infrared K-band spectra of twelve long-period (Porb > 6 hr) cataclysmic variables. We detect absorption lines from the photospheres of the secondary stars in every system, even though two of the m were undergoing outubrsts. We have attempted to assign spectral types to each of the secondary stars, and these classifications are generally consistent with previous determinations/estimates. We find evidence for abundance anomalies that include enhancements and/or deficits for all of the species commonly found in the K-band spectra of G- and K-type dwarfs. There is, however, only one common abundance anomaly: extremely weak CO features. Only two of the twelve objects appeared to have normal levels of CO absorption. We interpret this as evidence for low carbon abundances. In addition, we detect 13CO absorption in four of the twelve objects. Depleted levels of 12C and enhanced levels of 13C indicate that material that has been processed in the CNO cycle is finding its way into the photospheres of CV secondary stars. In systems with luminous accretion disks, we find that the spectrum of the secondary star is contaminated by a source that flattens (reddens) the continuum. While free-free or classical accretion disk spectra are flatter than the blackbody-like spectra of G and K dwarfs, removal of such contamination from the K-band data results in spectra in which the absorption features become too strong to be consistent with those of G and K dwarfs.

description: We present a review of photonic implementations of discrete-time quantum walks (DTQW) in the spatial and temporal domains, based on spatial- and time-multiplexing techniques, respectively. Additionally, we propose a detailed novel scheme for photonic DTQW, using transverse spatial modes of single photons and programmable spatial light modulators (SLM) to manipulate them. Unlike all previous mode-multiplexed implementations, this scheme enables simulation of an arbitrary step of the walker, only limited, in principle, by the SLM resolution. We discuss current applications of such photonic DTQW architectures in quantum simulation of topological effects and the use of non-local coin operations based on two-photon hybrid entanglement.

Publisher: name: Revista Sociedade Portuguesa de Oftalmologia
Year: 2019

description: PURPOSE - To correlate the morphological characteristics of diabetic retinal microaneurysms on spectral domain optical coherence tomography (SD-OCT) with their functional leakage status on fluorescein angiography (FA) in a simultaneous assessment.. METHODS – In this retrospective observational study, 88 retinal microaneurysms in 11 eyes of 6 type 2 diabetic adult patients with diabetic retinopathy (DR) (8 moderate non proliferative DR and 3 proliferative DR) were analyzed with simultaneous FA and SD-OCT imaging. Their morphological characteristics in SD-OCT, including shape, presence of a capsule-like structure, diameter, lumen reflectivity and the presence of nearby cysts were correlated with the leaking pattern (classified as absent, mild or intense). RESULTS - The majority of the microaneurysms were oval in shape (86,4%), with no “capsule” (84.1%), with an heterogeneous lumen reflectivity (85.2%) and no associated cysts (65.9%). Their location in relation to the internal and external retinal boundaries (p=0.011) as well as nearby cysts (p<0.001) were correlated with angiographic leakage. No significant association was found between size, presence of a “capsule” and internal reflectivity on SD-OCT with the FA leakage status. Microaneurysms associated with cysts had larger vertical (p=0.001) and horizontal diameters (p<0.001). CONCLUSIONS – A significant correlation was found between the presence of cystoid spaces in SD-OCT and detectable leakage on FA. In addition, cysts were found to be more frequent in the presence of larger microaneurysms, which may add some useful information regarding the pathophysiology of diabetic macular edema. The identification of high risk microaneurysms on SD OCT may help to establish a customized and more cost-effective strategy for follow-up and treatment in diabetic patients, without the need for invasive contrast imaging or OCT-angiography.

description:
Quarries are open pit mines, where construction materials such as granite and clay are extracted from the earth's surface, leading to a major disturbance of vegetation and subsequent degradation of ecosystem services. Assessing mining-associated degradation over time remains a challenge. This paper uses a temporal series of Landsat satellite image extracted from Google Earth Engine (GEE) for monitoring mining effects on land cover around the West African city of Ouagadougou, Burkina Faso. We conducted a binary classification of quarry and non-quarry using Landsat 9 images. To account for varying quarry patterns, we applied the LandTrendr algorithm to analyze images from 1990 to 2022, mapping annual vegetation disturbance and recovery. This generated high-resolution land cover maps with over 90 % accuracy across 257 quarries (38 km²). LandTrendr identified disturbance years with 87 % accuracy and assessed recovery in abandoned quarries. Remote sensing accuracy was validated through fieldwork and analysis of historical aerial photos. Our findings revealed that major disturbances coincided with new quarrying activities, particularly during urban expansion from 2005 to 2019, with NDVI decreasing by 0.3 in active mining areas. Vegetation recovery was observed in 23 % of the abandoned quarries, with NDVI increases by 0.15 within five years post abandonment, particularly in clay quarries. The strongest recovery occurred in given up abandoned from 2015 to 2019, aligned with increased conservation efforts. Our approach offers valuable insights into mining impacts and vegetation resilience in semi-arid environments, informing sustainable urban planning and environmental management in rapidly transforming regions of West Africa.
REFRACTIVE LASER SURGERY: WHAT’S NEW?

Year: 2018

description: The correction or improvement of common vision problems (such as, myopia, hypermetropia and astigmatism) through refractive laser surgery, as a permanent alternative to eyeglasses or contact lenses, has been growing in demand over recent years. The most common refractive laser surgery is the laser in-situ keratomileusis (LASIK) and its recent technological variants with improvements. Nevertheless, the generality (if not all), these ophthalmic laser procedures are based in the same physical principle: the reshaping of the cornea and thus altering its optical properties in order to improve vision. Here, the authors attempt to describe in general terms, a very promising, refractive laser procedure much less invasive that doesn’t alter the shape or thickness of the cornea and probably overcomes some limitations of usual LASIK procedure.

description: Axion-like-particles (ALPs) emitted from the core of a magnetar can convert to photons in its magnetosphere. The resulting photon flux is sensitive to the product of $(i)$ the ALP-nucleon coupling $G_{an}$ which controls the production cross section in the core and $(ii)$ the ALP-photon coupling $g_{aγγ}$ which controls the conversion in the magnetosphere. We study such emissions in the soft-gamma-ray range (300 keV to 1 MeV), where the ALP spectrum peaks and astrophysical backgrounds from resonant Compton upscattering are expected to be suppressed. Using published quiescent soft-gamma-ray flux upper limits in 5 magnetars obtained with $CGRO$ COMPTEL and $INTEGRAL$ SPI/IBIS/ISGRI, we put limits on the product of the ALP-nucleon and ALP-photon couplings. We also provide a detailed study of the dependence of our results on the magnetar core temperature. We further show projections of our result for future $Fermi$-GBM observations. Our results motivate a program of studying quiescent soft-gamma-ray emission from magnetars with the $Fermi$-GBM.

More conservative benchmark core temperature assumed, details of production in the core provided, new constraints on ALP couplings based on spectral analysis presented.

description: We develop a lattice mean field theory for ferromagnetic ordering in diluted magnetic semiconductors by taking into account the spatial fluctuations associated with random disorder in the magnetic impurity locations and the finite mean free path associated with low carrier mobilities. Assuming a carrier-mediated indirect RKKY exchange interaction among the magnetic impurities, we find substantial deviation from the extensively used continuum Zener model Weiss mean-field predictions. Our theory allows accurate analytic predictions for Tc, and provides simple explanations for a number of observed anomalies including the non-Brillouin function magnetization curves, the suppressed low-temperature magnetization saturation, and the dependence of Tc on conductivity.

description: Purpose: to report a case of idiopathic choroidal neovascularization (CNV) in a pediatric patient successfully treated with intravitreal bevacizumab injections. Methods: case report of a 10 year-old patient, who presented with reduced unilateral visual acuity during a visual screening. Complete ophthalmological examination was performed, along with fluorescein angiography, spectral domain optic coherence tomography (SD-OCT), fundus autofluorescence, ocular ultrasound, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of the brain and orbits and infectious serologies. Results: visual acuity was 20/400 in the left eye (OS) and 20/20 in the right eye (OD). No significant refractive error was detected. Fundoscopy in OS revealed a subretinal macular lesion associated with subretinal hemorrhage and fluid. Fluorescein angiography and SD-OCT confirmed the presence of NVC. Retinal hereditary dystrophies, along with infectious and neoplastic causes were excluded. The patient underwent two intravitreal bevacizumab injections in OS with a 3 months interval. Treatment resulted in progressive fibrosis of NVC, resolution of subretinal fluid and improvement of visual acuity in OS to 20/125, which remained stable 4 years after treatment. Conclusions: In the case of pediatric NVC, retinal hereditary dystrophies along with infectious and neoplastic causes should be excluded after a thorough investigation. No standard treatment for CNV in children has yet been validated. In our patient anti-vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) treatment induced regression of the CNV and resolution of subretinal fluid with a modest recovery in visual acuity and no reported ocular or systemic side effects.

description: High-dielectric-constant CaCu3Ti4O12 (CCTO) thin films were prepared on Pt/Ti/SiO2/Si(100) substrates by pulsed-laser deposition. The 480 nm thick polycrystalline films have preferred orientation and show obvious crystallization on the surface. The temperature-dependence of dielectric constant and loss of the Pt/CCTO/Pt capacitors is comparable with that of epitaxial CCTO films grown on oxides substrates. We found that the dielectric properties are very sensitive to the post-annealing atmosphere and temperature. Post-annealing in nitrogen atmosphere produces larger low-frequency dielectric relaxation as the annealing temperature increases, while annealing in oxygen atmosphere at high temperature suppresses the relaxation but lowers the dielectric constant. Such results are attributed to the presence of insulating grain boundary barrier layers.

description: We introduce two notions of algebraic entropy for actions of cancellative right amenable semigroups $S$ on discrete abelian groups $A$ by endomorphisms; these extend the classical algebraic entropy for endomorphisms of abelian groups, corresponding to the case $S=\mathbb N$. We investigate the fundamental properties of the algebraic entropy and compute it in several examples, paying special attention to the case when S is an amenable group. For actions of cancellative right amenable monoids on torsion abelian groups, we prove the so called Addition Theorem. In the same setting, we see that a Bridge Theorem connects the algebraic entropy with the topological entropy of the dual action by means of the Pontryagin duality, so that we derive an Addition Theorem for the topological entropy of actions of cancellative left amenable monoids on totally disconnected compact abelian groups.

description: Today most flowers physically pass through the auction houses on their fixed routes from (inter)national growers to (inter)national customers. Physical presence is necessary to allow for physical inspection, quality control and break-bulk activities. Several developments, such as new markets in Eastern Europe and increased virtualization, stimulate the chain to become an efficient florticultural hub-network, in which cut flowers, plants and other products are delivered to customers taking different (direct) routes and using different logistics concepts. The Dutch sector aims to (continue to) be the (virtual) florticultural trading hub of Europe, and has therefore started a 4-year new project called DAVINC3I. The project’s objective is to strengthen the international leading competitive position of the Dutch floriculture sector in a global, virtualized trade network by researching (1) the opportunities for new logistics coordination, consolidation and collaboration concepts in extended international tradeparc networks, and (2) the possibilities for making chain information directly and real-time available and usable to support decision making of all partners in the horticultural network. The aim of this paper is to discuss current floriculture sector developments in supply and demand and identify the main logistics bottlenecks and opportunities for improvement. Based on literature reviews and expert knowledge the research (logistics) challenges that arise from the market developments are revealed.

description: SWift (SignWriting improved fast transcriber) is an advanced editor for SignWriting (SW). At present, SW is a promising alternative to provide documents in an easy-to-grasp written form of (any) Sign Language, the gestural way of communication which is widely adopted by the deaf community. SWift was developed SW users, either deaf or not, to support collaboration and exchange of ideas. The application allows composing and saving desired signs using elementary components, called glyphs. The procedure that was devised guides and simplifies the editing process. SWift aims at breaking the "electronic" barriers that keep the deaf community away from ICT in general, and from e-learning in particular. The editor can be contained in a pluggable module; therefore, it can be integrated everywhere the use of SW is an advisable alternative to written "verbal" language, which often hinders information grasping by deaf users.

description: Αυτή η μεταπτυχιακή εργασία με τίτλο "Αποδόμηση και Ταυτότητα: Το Αγγείο ως Αλληγορία" διερευνά τη χρήση της φιλοσοφικής έννοιας της αποδόμησης στην καλλιτεχνική δημιουργία, εστιάζοντας στη σχέση μεταξύ ταυτότητας και κοινωνικών διαχωρισμών. Μέσα από μια σειρά γλυπτών και κεραμικών αγγείων, η εργασία αναδεικνύει πώς οι προσωπικές εμπειρίες και οι εξωτερικές επιρροές διαμορφώνουν και αναδιαμορφώνουν την έννοια της ταυτότητας. Η χρήση του πηλού και η μεταμόρφωσή του σε έργα τέχνης συμβολίζει την ευθραυστότητα και την ανθεκτικότητα της ανθρώπινης ύπαρξης. Επιπλέον, η εργασία εξετάζει τη σχέση μεταξύ του μέρους και του όλου, αντλώντας στοιχεία από την πλατωνική φιλοσοφία και ενσωματώνει σύγχρονες θεωρίες, όπως η επιτελεστικότητα της Judith Butler και η υβριδικότητα του Homi Bhabha.
description: This master's thesis titled "Deconstruction and Identity: The Vessel as Metaphor" explores the use of the philosophical concept of deconstruction in artistic creation, focusing on the relationship between identity and social divisions. Through a series of sculptures and ceramic vessels, the thesis highlights how personal experiences and external influences shape and reshape the concept of identity. The use of clay and its transformation into artworks symbolizes the fragility and resilience of human existence. Additionally, the thesis examines the relationship between the part and the whole, drawing from Platonic philosophy and contemporary theory, such as Judith Butler's performativity and Homi Bhabha's hybridity.

description: This thesis investigates the microbial communities in subway stations of urban environments, specifically focusing on London and New York. Utilizing Next Generation Sequencing (NGS) and data from the MetaSUB Consortium, twenty DNA samples from the two cities were analyzed. The study maintained data quality using FastQC, MultiQC, and Trimmomatic. Microbial classification was performed with Kraken2, known for its accuracy. Various tools like R, Krona, Phinch, and Pavian were used for data visualization and analysis. The results revealed differences in microbial profiles between the two cities. New York subways had greater microbial diversity, including genera like Arthrobacter and Micrococcus, indicative of diverse niches. London's subways showed a prevalence of Cyanobacteria and Clostridia, suggesting surface contaminant infiltration. The research emphasizes the influence of environmental conditions, human activity, and cleaning practices on subway microbiomes, providing valuable insights for urban planning and public health policies.
description: Η παρούσα διπλωματική εργασία διερευνά τις μικροβιακές κοινότητες σε σταθμούς του μετρό αστικών περιβαλλόντων, εστιάζοντας συγκεκριμένα στο Λονδίνο και τη Νέα Υόρκη. Χρησιμοποιώντας Next-Generation Sequencing (NGS) και δεδομένα από το πρόγραμμα MetaSUB, αναλύθηκαν είκοσι δείγματα DNA από τις δύο πόλεις. Η μελέτη διατήρησε την ποιότητα των δεδομένων χρησιμοποιώντας FastQC, MultiQC και Trimmomatic. Η μικροβιακή ταξινόμηση πραγματοποιήθηκε με Kraken2, γνωστό για την ακρίβειά του. Διάφορα εργαλεία όπως τα R, Krona, Phinch και Pavian χρησιμοποιήθηκαν για την οπτικοποίηση και την ανάλυση δεδομένων. Τα αποτελέσματα αποκάλυψαν διαφορές στα μικροβιακά προφίλ μεταξύ των δύο πόλεων. ΟΙ στάσεις μετρό της Νέας Υόρκης είχαν μεγαλύτερη μικροβιακή ποικιλομορφία, συμπεριλαμβανομένων γενών όπως το Arthrobacter και το Micrococcus,. Τα αποτελέσματα για το Λονδίνο έδειξαν επικράτηση κυανοβακτηρίων και κλωστριδίων, γεγονός που υποδηλώνει διείσδυση επιφανειακών ρύπων. Η έρευνα δίνει έμφαση στην επίδραση των περιβαλλοντικών συνθηκών, της ανθρώπινης δραστηριότητας και των πρακτικών καθαρισμού στο μετρό, παρέχοντας πολύτιμες πληροφορίες για τις πολιτικές αστικού σχεδιασμού και δημόσιας υγείας.
