Brain-Derived Neurotrophic Factor (BDNF) gene: interaction between Val66Met polymorphism and neurodegenerative diseases
Creators: name: Shen, Ting
Publisher: name: Macquarie University
Year: 2022
Subjects: Other education not elsewhere classified

description: Brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) plays an essential role in regulating the neuronal growth, differentiation and survival in the central nervous system (CNS). The dysregulation or deprivation of BDNF has been implicated in increased susceptibility to various neurodegenerative diseases. The functional single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) that results in a valine-to-methionine substitution at codon 66 (Val66Met) in the pro region of BDNF gene has been reported to affect the intracellular processing and activity-dependent secretion of BDNF. In this thesis, I have investigated the association between BDNF Val66Met polymorphism and several neurodegenerative disorders, including open-angle glaucoma (OAG), neuromyelitis optica spectrum disorders (NMOSD) and multiple sclerosis (MS). The differential structural and functional patterns of optic nerve damage were also compared between two similar diseases of NMOSD and MS. The results demonstrated that the carriage of BDNF Met allele has a protective effect against nerve fibre loss and is associated with a reduced rate of long-term OAG progression in a gender-specific way. In NMOSD and MS, however, the BDNF Val66Met showed negative effects where the Met carriers exhibited more severe optic nerve damage caused by acute optic neuritis (ON) attacks. The opposite effects may suggest the involvement of other regulators or different interactions BDNF Met alleles may have with acute optic nerve impairment in inflammation and progressive glaucomatous optic neuropathy. Based on these observations, my studies indicate that BDNF Val66Met carriage may be useful prognostic markers that have differential disease-specific effects.

subject: FOS: Political science

description: While machine learning has become ubiquitous in certain fields, its public policy applications in the infrastructure and air pollution domains are relatively understudied. This work develops two frameworks to analyze (1) the impacts of infrastructure and social equity and (2) the impact of areasource pollution on resultant concentrations to better inform public policy along these two domains. This work employs a range of machine learning techniques to perform variable search and selection and analyzes causal connections between infrastructure (i.e., bridges) and social equity factors. Further, a novel neural network design that combines vector autoregression techniques with pollution data capably predicts pollution concentrations for two species of PM2.5. Throughout this work, the techniques and frameworks are specifically designed to be accessible byengineers and policymakers in the infrastructure and air quality managements domains.

description: The  purpose  of  this  paper  is  to  contextualize  the  lapi-dar at Qukës–Pishkash, Librazhd, into the political and social  setting  of  its  period  and  beyond.  In  doing  so,  we  aim, first, at presenting the monument; second, at dem-onstrating that lapidars were not static monuments, but rather reference points for the socio-political life of the regional  and  capital  center;  last  but  not  least,  we  shall  endeavor  to  show  how  Albania’s  communist  regime,  in  its  understanding  of  the  importance  of  pilgrimage  in  religious  practices,  attempted  to  establish  a  political  religion  by  creating,  through  the  lapidar  at  Pishkash,  a  pilgrimage centered at text and memory to commemo-rate the 1943–4 winter march of the First Offensive Bri-gade in the mountainous zones of Çermenikë, Librazhd, Gramsh, and Korçë, in the course of Albania’s National Anti-Fascist Liberation War. To this aim, we have assem-bled factual and empirical evidence regarding the mon-uments and combined them with socio-anthropological evidence from the study of pilgrimage.

description: Adiabatic transport provides a powerful way to manipulate quantum states. By preparing a system in a readily initialised state and then slowly changing its Hamiltonian, one may achieve quantum states that would otherwise be inaccessible. Moreover, a judicious choice of final Hamiltonian whose groundstate encodes the solution to a problem allows adiabatic transport to be used for universal quantum computation. However, the dephasing effects of the environment limit the quantum correlations that an open system can support and degrade the power of such adiabatic computation. We quantify this effect by allowing the system to evolve over a restricted set of quantum states, providing a link between physically inspired classical optimisation algorithms and quantum adiabatic optimisation. This new perspective allows us to develop benchmarks to bound the quantum correlations harnessed by an adiabatic computation. We apply these to the D-Wave Vesuvius machine with revealing - though inconclusive - results.

Non-Hermitian quantum rings

description: We investigate the spectral and dynamical properties of a quantum particle constrained on a ring threaded by a magnetic flux in presence of a complex (non-Hermitian) potential. For a static magnetic flux, the quantum states of the particle on the ring can be mapped into the Bloch states of a complex crystal, and magnetic flux tuning enables to probe the spectral features of the complex crystal, including the appearance of exceptional points. For a time-varying (linearly-ramped) magnetic flux, Zener tunneling among energy states is realized owing to the induced electromotive force. As compared to the Hermitian case, striking effects are observed in the non-Hermitian case, such as a highly asymmetric behavior of particle motion when reversing the direction of the magnetic flux and field-induced delayed transparency.

Year: 2021

description: PURPOSE: The aim of this rapid research was to examine the impact of COVID-19 on autistic people (of all ages) and their families within the United Kingdom, and identify how to mitigate any adverse consequences. KEY FINDINGS: Every autistic person is different. This diversity is reflected in the range of experiences described in this report. Communication from government: Government communication regarding COVID-19 was difficult to understand and follow for many autistic people. Clear communication and transparency of decision-making from government are important and can help autistic people follow advice and guidance. Schools and education: Access to education for autistic children during lockdown was not consistent. Continued input from schools and maintaining contact with parents and families are vital if schools need to be closed in the future. Grocery shopping: Accessing groceries during lockdown was a struggle for many autistic people. Ensuring everyone has access to necessary grocery shopping, especially vulnerable groups like autistic people, must be a priority. Mental health and access to medical care: COVID-19 and its consequences affected the mental health of autistic people in a range of ways. Mental and physical health care should be accessible to all members of the population. This is particularly the case for autistic people who are more likely to have mental health problems and may find it harder to access services. Caring responsibilities and respite: Renewed support for family members and carers is needed. Many were exhausted during lockdown, especially when external support and respite care were stopped or reduced. The COVID-19 pandemic has both immediate and enduring effects. Ongoing attention to the longer-term implications for autistic people and their families is imperative; particularly in relation to educational opportunity, health, employment and social inclusion, all of which can have profound effects on quality of life.

description: We present the discovery of a co-moving planetary-mass companion ~42" (~2000 AU) from a young M3 star, GU Psc, likely member of the young AB Doradus Moving Group (ABDMG). The companion was first identified via its distinctively red i - z color (> 3.5) through a survey made with Gemini-S/GMOS. Follow-up Canada-France-Hawaii Telescope/WIRCam near-infrared (NIR) imaging, Gemini-N/GNIRS NIR spectroscopy and Wide-field Infrared Survey Explorer photometry indicate a spectral type of T3.5+-1 and reveal signs of low gravity which we attribute to youth. Keck/Adaptive Optics NIR observations did not resolve the companion as a binary. A comparison with atmosphere models indicates Teff = 1000-1100 K and logg = 4.5-5.0. Based on evolution models, this temperature corresponds to a mass of 9-13 MJup for the age of ABDMG (70-130 Myr). The relatively well-constrained age of this companion and its very large angular separation to its host star will allow its thorough characterization and will make it a valuable comparison for planetary-mass companions that will be uncovered by forthcoming planet-finder instruments such as Gemini Planet Imager and SPHERE.

Estimation of Plasma Parameters in an Accretion Column near the Surface of Accreting White Dwarfs from Their Flux Variability

description: We consider the behavior of matter in the accretion column that emerges under accretion in binary systems near the surface of a white dwarf. The plasma heated in a standing shock wave near the white dwarf surface efficiently radiates in the X-ray energy band. We suggest a method for estimating post-shock plasma parameters, such as the density, temperature, and height of the hot zone, from the power spectrum of its X-ray luminosity variability. The method is based on the fact that the flux variability amplitude for the hot region at various Fourier frequencies depends significantly on its cooling time, which is determined by the parameters of the hot zone in the accretion column. This allows the density and temperature of the hot matter to be estimated. We show that the characteristic cooling time can be efficiently determined from the break frequency in the power spectrum of the X-ray flux variability for accreting white dwarfs. The currently available X-ray instruments do not allow such measurements to be made because of an insufficient collecting area, but this will most likely become possible with new-generation large-area X-ray spectrometers.

Introduction: Corporeal Politics

Year: 2015

description: This book is the second volume of texts curated specifically for The Funambulist since 2011.1The editorial line of this second series of twenty-six essays is dedicated to philosophical and political ques-tions about bodies. This choice is informed by my own interest in the (often violent) relation between the designed environment and bodies. Corporeal politics do not exist in a void of objects, build-ings and cities; on the contrary, they operate through the continuous material encounters between living and non-living bodies. Several texts proposed in this volume examine various forms of corporeal violence (racism, gender-based violence, etc.). This examination, however, can only exist in the integration of the designed environ-ment’s conditioning of this violence. As Mimi Thi Nguyen argues in the conclusion of this book’s first chapter, “the process of attending to the body — unhooded, unveiled, unclothed — cannot be the so-lution to racism, because that body is always already an abstraction, an effect of law and its violence.

description: In June 2010, the New York Times published a feature provocatively titled, “The War is Fake, the Clothing Real,” about David Tabbert, a fashion-conscious costumer for a company that clothes play-acting Afghan or Iraqi insurgents and civilians in war games staged for the United States armed forces.1 “Though Mr. Tabbert, 28, person-ally prefers G-star denim and concert tees, he was on the hunt for 150 dishdashas, the ankle-length garments worn by men in Iraq and elsewhere in the Arab world. In July, actors will wear them in a simu-lated Iraqi village, posing as townspeople, clerics and insurgents at a National Guard training ground in the Midwest.” Of his initial hesita-tion to accept the job, Tabbert notes that while he was not pro-war, “I looked at what we were doing as a positive way to train the soldiers, in light of the fact that they are being deployed anyway.” In educat-ing his eye to create usable profiles, Tabbert studies images on the Internet — “to determine, for example, the exact embroidery on the epaulet of an opposition leader’s military uniform” — and trains oth-ers to do the same, thereby teaching soldiers to distinguish between “bad” and “good” Afghans or Iraqis (or et cetera) by their cover.

Bodies on the Line: Somatic Risk and Psychogeographies in Urban Exploration and Palestinian 'Infiltration'
Creators: name: Baumann, Hanna
Publisher: name: punctum books
Year: 2015

description: Balbuk, an aboriginal woman in Stephen Muecke’s fictocritical trav-elogue No Road (Bitumen all the Way), is a trespasser, a destroyer of private property. She is also merely maintaining her routine, do-ing what she has always done and asserting her relationship with the land irrespective of changing ownership rights and newly-built obstacles. In a similar manner, the two types of infiltrators I discuss here also defy access restrictions in order to claim a space that has been taken away from them. Taking as my starting point the 2013 documentary Infiltrators by Palestinian artist Khaled Jarrar, I juxta-pose practices and discourses of Palestinians who enter Jerusalem without a permit with those of Urban Exploration (Urb-Ex). Urb-Ex, engaged in predominantly by elites in the cities of the global North, involves the recreational physical exploration of derelict and aban-doned locations in the city, but also of exclusive securitised spaces. The practice has become highly visible due to spectacular actions that generated numerous media reports, but also thanks to self-pro-motional films and blogs. (Incidentally, a low-budget action film also titled Infiltrators about urban explorers was released in 2014). While the physical acts involved in these two types of infiltration are similar, the meanings attached to them differ in many, albeit not all, areas. This is an attempt, then, to link descriptions of somatic experience involved in ‘infiltration’ with the psychogeographies they produce, which are in turn also produced by them

Palestine Made Flesh

Publisher: name: punctum books
Year: 2015

description: In a 1998 opinion piece for Egyptian weekly Al Ahram, Edward Said memorably skewered Yasser Arafat’s intention to issue his second declaration of Palestinian statehood within a year. Said wrote, “I say [statehood] with some irony because, at first glance, the notion of declaring a state for a second time (Algiers, November 1998 was the first) must strike the untutored spectator as inherently funny, since in both instances, except for about 60 per cent of Gaza, there is very little land for this state.”1 Indeed, Arafat’s poorly thought out decrees for statehood never succeeded, resulting instead in the expected Is-raeli backlash against Palestinians living under occupation and within the Israeli state. But as Said went on to criticise the most obvious flaws of the illusive ‘statehood’ Arafat strove for, he made quite a pro-found assertion: “If by declaring that what, in effect, is a theoretical abridgement of true statehood is the first step towards the realization of actual statehood, then one might as well hope to extract sunlight from a cucumber on the basis of the sun having entered the cucum-ber in the first place. This is an example not of serious, but of magical thought, something we have no need of now.”2 Lover of poetry and music though he was, Edward Said seriously devalues the radical potential of imagination in his article. Specifically, he slights the role that imagination plays in creating and sustaining a truly autonomous Palestinian nation. A nation with no land but also no borders; a na-tion with no military but also no war, and a nation with no recognition based on the destructive logics of empire. This is all to say, a nation that is lived without restrictions through the innovative and agile prac-tice of imagining otherwise. This brief essay’s exploration of imagin-ing an ‘other’ way to recognize Palestine pays its respects to Edward Said’s dogged pursuit of liberation, but remembers that Edward Said, like millions of other Palestinians, lived, and died, elsewhere.
Chamayou's Manhunts: From Territory to Space?
Creators: name: Elden, Stuart
Publisher: name: punctum books
Year: 2015

description: This brief article discusses Grégoire Chamayou’s Manhunts, a pow-erful account of human inhumanity, the tracking down and killing of other humans. As he says in his second paragraph:To write the history of manhunts is to write one fragment of a long his-tory of violence on the part of the dominant. It is also to write a history of the technologies of predation indispensable for the establishment and reproduction of relationships of domination.1Chamayou is insistent that his focus is not on a metaphor, but on “concrete historical phenomena in which human beings were tracked down, captured, or killed in accord with the forms of the hunt.”2The main problem has to do with the fact that the hunter and the hunted do not belong to different species. Since the distinction be-tween the predator and his prey is not inscribed in nature, the hunt-ing relationship is always susceptible to a reversal of positions. Prey sometimes band together to become hunters in their turn. The his-tory of a power is also the history of the struggles to overthrow it.3His examples are wide-ranging, from Ancient Greece to the Bible, from exile to slavery to colonialism, and to zombies. The book is strikingly illustrated and has plenty of powerful examples. It pro-ceeds in a non-systematic manner, and is suggestive rather than comprehensive in its cases and references. Nonetheless it is a strik-ing and original analysis.

description: We have investigated the high-temperature thermoelectric properties of the layered compound LaO1-xFxBiS2. The electrical resistivity of LaOBiS2 showed an anomalous behavior; a metal-semiconductor transition was observed around 270 K. It was found that the value of the electrical resistivity decreased with F substitution. The Seebeck coefficient decreased with increasing F concentration. The highest power factor of 1.9 W/cmK2 at 480 C was obtained for LaOBiS2.

description: We have analyzed analytically the Faraday rotation of an electromagnetic wave for magnetoactive thin metallic film with a nanostructured surface profile. Periodical as well as random surface profiles were considered. The plasmon contribution to the Faraday angle was studied. For periodical grating case, we have shown that the maximum of rotation angle is achieved when surface plasmon wave number coincides with one of the wave numbers of the inverse lattice. Enhancement of the Faraday angle at plasmonic band edges is predicted. In the case of random surface profile, it is shown that the diffusion of surface magnetoplasmons gives a dominant contribution to Faraday rotation. Comparison with the experiments is carried out.

Racialized Geographies and the Fear of Ships

description: It was during rush hour when two hundred white-identified individu-als in a forty-foot wood-framed boat descended onto the streets of Toronto. The people were dressed in white t-shirts and the boat was wrapped in canvas painted red and blue. Together they crossed Queen Street West and occupied four lanes of traffic in one of the busiest commercial districts of the city. The ship ‘docked’ outside of the flagship store of the Hudson Bay Company — a former fur-trading corporation that was once the de facto colonial ruler of the region.1Unlike any other mass action I had been to, the crowd seemed to take over the intersection effortlessly. During the fifteen minutes that they held the site, there was no police intimidation, no harassment from onlookers, and only mild frustration from the ebbing crowds.
Norm, Measure of all Things

Publisher: name: punctum books

description: Architectural  practice  and  theoretical  discourse  has  considered Ernst Neufert’s canonical Architects’ Data (1936) as a product of the search for an optimal built environment based on accounts of a single normative body. In light of the increasing pervasiveness of bespoke biometric solutions and its applications in architecture and design, this essay seeks to offer a different genealogy of the en-tanglement between architecture standards and statistical methods of measuring the social body. This essay draws a speculative history from the point when modern architecture ceases to account for, to become accountable for normalizing that body.Norms, have long inhabited the architect’s toolset. Pertaining to the carpenter’s square or rule norma is first codified in the early nine-teenth century as ‘standard, pattern, model’ as evidence of its com-mon usage. Whereas the vernacular use of the noun ‘norm’ had to do with geometry, with ‘right angles’ and perpendicular lines, its ad-jectival derivation ‘normal’ is defined in 1828 in the Oxford English Dictionary as ‘constituting, conforming to, not deviating or differ from, the common type or standard.’ The emergence of the adjectival form of the noun is the first historical clue that suggests a symbolic shift that happened throughout the eighteenth century from the language of geometry to that of biological matter.

Patterns of Life: A Very Short History of Schematic Bodies
Creators: name: Chamayou, Grégoire
Publisher: name: punctum books

description: In his 1956’s Theory of the Dérive, Guy Debord described a Paris map drawn up by an urban sociologist depicting “all the movements made in the space of one year by a student living in the 16th Ar-rondissement”. “Her itinerary,” he remarked, “forms a small triangle with no significant deviations, the three apexes of which are the School of Political Sciences, her residence and that of her piano teacher. The cartographic objectivation of a life form was taken as a starting point for a poetical and political critique of daily life. This was a cri-tique of its narrowness, of its routines, of the reduction of the lifeworld these routine articulate. Debord concluded: “Such data — examples of a modern poetry capable of provoking sharp emotional reactions (in this particular case, outrage at the fact that anyone’s life can be so pathetically limited) [...] will undoubtedly prove useful in developing dérives (drifts)."

description: We examine the possibilities for constructing models with Dirac gaugino masses and unification of gauge couplings. We identify one promising model, and discuss to what extent it can have a "natural SUSY" spectrum. We then determine the low-energy constraints upon it, and propose a constrained set of boundary conditions at the unification scale. We describe the implementation of these boundary conditions in the spectrum-generator generator \SARAH and we perform a first exploration of the parameter space, specifically searching for points where the spectrum is relatively light. It is shown that the pattern of the masses of SUSY states is very different compared to any expectations from the constrained MSSM.

Of Associated Milieus

description: Recently as I was strolling through my neighborhood in Montreal, I came across a toy I saw that kids played with in the 1980s: the Cozy Coupe car with a bright yellow body and a red foot-powered chas-sis, a popular toy around that time. I remembered how the car’s cockpit allowed interfacing with familiar surroundings while giving a first sense of leg-powered, seated motility outside the house.In a contemporary videogame, by contrast, motility is delegated through the interface to avatars. One would be quick to think that the issue of delegation or that of the materiality of the interaction through the interface has gone from physical, bodily affect (rep-resented by the 1980s Cozy Coupe, among other toys) to that of an increasingly dematerialized network of programmed bodies in games. But the transition can’t be so easily reduced to this. For example, Ingmar Riedel-Kruse and his team at Stanford University have designed a new set of videogames, this time involving the use of living microorganisms instead of electronically programmed sprites or avatars.

description: My fascination with Norway begun early on, before I ever visited the country. Admittedly, it had little to do with the country itself, and its focus was exclusively cartographic. I spent hours musing over the map with a concentration frissoning through my very body and mak-ing my skin tingle. The reason? To my eyes, Norway looked like a human arm that was being slowly, painfully but pleasurably gnawed by the incoming fjords. Its coast emerges like a moth-eaten lace, with its play of blue and yellow that defies the usual clean-cut depiction of cartographic boundaries. I would then compare Norway’s coast to the line that separates Algeria from Mauritania and Mali, a straight, brutal, metallic line cutting the desert in two arbitrary sides. There, my feeling would be one of cleanliness and purity but also incomprehen-sion, suspicion even at how straight it was. And I would return to the intricacy of the coast. I was 6 years old.

description: Purpose: Chromosome 16p11.2 deletion syndrome (OMIM #611913) is a rare genetic condition resulting from the partial deletion of approximately 35 genes located at Chromosome 16. Affected people exhibit a variable clinical profile, featuring mild dysmorphisms, motor problems, developmental delay, mild intellectual disability (ID), socialization deficits and/or autism spectrum disorder (ASD) traits, and problems with language. Specifically, a precise characterization of the speech, language, and communication (dis)abilities of people with this condition is still pending. Method: We used standardized tests and samples of naturalistic speech to provide a longitudinal profile of the speech, language, and communication problems of a boy with Chromosome 16p11.2 deletion syndrome and without ID or ASD. Results: The proband shows impaired expressive abilities as well as problems with receptive language, dysprosody, and ASD-like communication deficits, such as impaired interactive skills, perseverative verbal behavior, overabundance of tangential responses, and lack of metapragmatic awareness and communicative use of gaze, meeting the criteria for social pragmatic communication disorder. Conclusions: Our results support the view that language and communication impairment should be regarded as one core symptom of Chromosome 16p11.2 deletion syndrome, even without a diagnosis of ASD or ID. Clinical implications of our results, with a focus on therapeutic interventions for children with 16p11.2 deletion syndrome and no ASD or ID, are also discussed. Supplemental Material S1.

description: In this paper we prove two sharp inequalities involving the normalized scalar curvature and the generalized normalized $δ$-Casorati curvatures for slant submanifolds in quaternionic space forms. We also characterize those submanifolds for which the equality cases hold. These results are a generalization of some recent results concerning the Casorati curvature for a slant submanifold in a quaternionic space form obtained by Slesar et al.: J. Inequal.

Dress Becomes Body: Fashioning the Force of Form

description: “Cut to invent anew,” proposes Rei Kawakubo, owner and designer of the fashion label Comme des Garçons. “Make an abstract image.” “Break the idea of clothes.”“Break the idea of clothes,” has been Kawakubo’s call for over 40 years, a call that has motivated the creation of some of the most intriguing clothing of the late 20th and early 21st centuries, opening up the field of fashion to an architectural potential perhaps unprecedented. With Kawakubo’s insistence that clothes are not a predetermined category, but a proposition according to which a body is invited to continuously reinvent itself, she has led the way toward a textile-based architecting of experience. In this regard, Kawakubo has pushed and continues to push the Spinozist mantra “we know not what a body can do” to its limit, recasting not only the realm of fashion but the way fashion situ-ates itself in relation to other practices, especially that of architecture.
