title: Thalamic nuclei in motor neuron disease: volumetric profiles

description: Thalamic degeneration is a recognised feature of motor neuron disease which manifest in a range of extrapyramidal motor and neuropsychological deficits. While computational neuroimaging allows the detailed characterisation of thalamic changes in vivo, existing neuroimaging studies have invariably evaluated the thalamus as a single structure. In this dataset we present the volumetric profile of specific thalamic nuclei in 100 patients with ALS, 33 patients with PLS and 117 healthy controls. T1-weighted images were acquired with a 3D Inversion Recovery prepared Spoiled Gradient Recalled echo pulse sequence with an isometric spatial resolution of 1 mm3 on a 3 Tesla MRI system. A Bayesian inference was used to segment the thalamus into specific nuclei using a probabilistic atlas. The study was sponsored by the Spastic Paraplegia Foundation, Inc. (SPF), the Health Research Board (HRB EIA-2017-019), the EU Joint Programme – Neurodegenerative Disease Research (JPND), the Andrew Lydon scholarship, the Irish Institute of Clinical Neuroscience (IICN), the Iris O'Brien Foundation.

title: Solar Water Disinfection: A Probabilistic Methodology for Extracting Exposure Period from Time Series of Insolation Data

description: The operation of solar disinfection (SODIS) systems require a variable exposure period depending upon a number of process parameters: cloud coverage, air temperature, water turbidity, and pathogen concentration. The uncertainty arising from variable exposure period can be resolved using probability methods. The study presents a probabilistic methodology for extracting exposure period from times series of insolation data. To do this, the exposure period was interpreted as the number of consecutive exposure days until the occurrence of a day whose solar irradiance is higher than the disinfection threshold. This interpretation is consistent with the underlying physical processes that govern geometric distribution. Representative values of monthly exposure periods can be selected for any locations at a given probability of exceedance, assuming geometric distribution. The 3600 data samples are contained in the folder “ The 3600 Data Samples for the 300 Locations, January to December”. The excel workbooks in the data sample folder are named by the latitude, longitude, and month for which the data represent. “Result of Anderson-Darling Goodness-of-Fit Test and Model Validation” contains a table of results obtained from the Anderson-Darling goodness-of-fit test and model validation for the 3600 data samples collected for different locations and months (300 locations multiplied by 12 months). The same results were reproduced in the form of maps in “Goodness of Fit Maps”, “Observed vs Predicted Exposure Period Maps”, and “Reliability Maps” for easy comprehension. The observed exposure period at 5% exceedance probability (k5) was evaluated as the 95th percentile of observed exposure periods. Correct prediction implies that the predicted k5 is equal to the observed k5 for a particular month and location. Overprediction implies that the predicted exposure period is greater than the observed exposure period. Underprediction implies that the predicted exposure period is less than the observed exposure period. The reliability of each predicted exposure period was computed by drawing with replacement 10,000 samples of consecutive days equal to the predicted exposure period from the validation data and counting the number samples which contains at least one threshold day. A 95% chance of complete disinfection is guaranteed if the proportion of these samples with at least one threshold day is ≥ 0.95.

title: Database Cyclists. Medellin, Colombia

description: The information included in this database is associated with the Data in Brief article entitled "A database to analyze cycling routes in Medellin, Colombia". These data relies on information derived from a survey targeting current bicycle commuters who were recruited by using a mixed random and nonrandom method to obtain a diversity of cyclist profiles. A bicycle route questionnaire was designed to collect data containing information about the characteristics of cyclists and detailed information related to the routes they take. The survey execution targeted current bicycle commuters in Medellin, Colombia by distributing the questionnaires online, personally by telephone and personally on the street. The survey was conducted from February 2017 to March 2017, which is considered a regular-season for studying and working. From all the respondents, we selected current cyclists who could accurately recall their routes, which was the main goal of our survey. Consequently, we surveyed 810 cyclists whose routes were geocoded and then matched to a street network. Finally, the physical variables corresponding to the routes were generated using scripts written in the Python programming language for Qgis. These data will be useful to support strategies aiming to promote bicycling as a mode of transportation. Several types of analysis may be derived from the data, including an explanation of the factors determining the route choice and route comparisons according to the sociodemographics and locations of users. For instance, these data have already been used by Ospina et al. (2020) [1] where they sought to understand cycling travel distance in Medellin city. [1] J. P. Ospina, V. Botero-Fernández, J. C. Duque, M. Brussel, and A. Grigolon, “Understanding cycling travel distance: The case of Medellin city (Colombia),” Transp. Res. Part D Transp. Environ., vol. 86, no. 102423, pp. 1–15, 2020.

title: Kurdish Students' Writing Problems on the Mechanics of English as a Foreign Language

description: The present study investigated the type and frequency of the common errors in the written performance of EFL students in the Kurdistan region of Iraq, considering the correct use of Mechanics of writing, and also compared the errors made by students in the two groups of Male and Female Kurdish EFL learners. In this regard using a composition test, the errors made by the participants were analyzed. Moreover the inter-rater reliability was estimated to ensure the reliability of the instrument and the obtained results, and in order to add to the reliability and the validity of the results, a checklist was designed, developed and used by the researcher as a framework for correcting and analyzing the errors made by the students, which contained a list of the most identified elements of writing mechanics. The results revealed that generally the major problems of Kurdish students and the most errors they made were on the elements of Capitalization (61%), Punctuation (88%), and paragraphing (87%). However female students found to have generally much better performance than the male students in this respect.

title: On the spectral properties and excitation dynamics of long-wavelength chlorophylls in higher-plant Photosystem I

description: In higher-plant Photosystem I (PSI), the majority of “red” Chls (absorbing at longer wavelengths than the reaction centre P700) are located in the peripheral antenna, but contradicting reports are given about red forms in the core complex. Here we attempt to clarify the spectroscopic characteristics and quantify the red forms in the PSI core complex, which have profound implication on understanding the energy transfer and charge separation dynamics. To this end we compare the steady-state absorption and fluorescence spectra and picosecond time-resolved fluorescence kinetics of isolated PSI core complex and PSI–LHCI supercomplex from Pisum sativum recorded at 77 K. Gaussian decomposition of the absorption spectra revealed a broad band at 705 nm in the core complex with an oscillator strength of three Chls. Additional absorption at 703 nm and 711 nm in PSI–LHCI indicated up to five red Chls in the peripheral antenna. Analysis of fluorescence emission spectra resolved states emitting at 705, 715 and 722 nm in the core and additional states around 705–710 nm and 733 nm in PSI–LHCI. The red states compete with P700 in trapping excitations in the bulk antenna, which occurs on a timescale of ~20 ps. The three red forms in the core have distinct decay kinetics, probably in part determined by the rate of quenching by the oxidized P700. These results affirm that the red Chls in the core complex must not be neglected when interpreting kinetic experimental results of PSI.

title: Dataset of the meta-analysis on seasonality of polymyalgia rheumatica and giant cell arteritis onset

description: Onset symptoms of polymyalgia rheumatica (PMR) and giant cell arteritis (GCA) were collected through relevant papers found in the scientific literature. Since we wanted to determine whether there is a seasonal aggregation for these disorders, only papers reporting semestral, seasonal or monthly onset symptoms were included in the meta-analysis. Data were organized in hierarchical order yielding 9 tables, which first considered both diseases together, and then each disease separately, in relationship to the times of the year divided as 6-month periods, seasons or months. Meta-analysis of incidence variations with semester, season, or month was performed on the natural logarithm of IRRs, which was calculated, for each comparison, as a ratio between the cold period versus the warm period. The main meta-analysis regarded the comparison between the warm and cold semesters in all PMR and GCA patients considered. Secondary meta-analyses regarded any other possible combination. Fixed and random effects meta-analysis weighed by the inverse variance were also performed and the results were graphically represented as forest plots. Heterogeneity was determined by Cochrane’s Q and the I2 statistic while publication bias was assessed by funnel plots and Egger tests. Different sensitivity analyses were performed with the evaluation of pooled data obtained by repeating the meta-analyses after removing one paper at a time. This process was performed to observe whether disproportionate studies could have a disproportionate influence on the result of the meta-analysis. All statistical analyses were performed using R version 3.5. The meta package (version 4.9) was used to produce the pooled estimates and forest plots.

title: Commitment to Rice Cooperatives in Zambia

description: The data is about commitment to cooperatives by smallholder rice farmers in the Western Zambia. The aim of this study, therefore, is to analyze the economic impact of intensive commitment to a rice cooperative by smallholder farmers. The cooperative in question is from a rice value chain in the Western province of Zambia. Specifically, the objectives of this study are to: 1. Describe differences between active and passive members based on their marketing channels and perceived non-economic benefits. 2. Analyze the influence of members perceived social attributes of the cooperative on the intensity of their commitment. 3. Determine the impact of the intensity of commitment to the cooperative on the members’ economic performance. This study, therefore, seeks to test the following hypotheses: - H1: Social attributes, such as acceptance, voice, trust, reciprocity, market connections and leadership competence are related to commitment to the cooperative. - H2: Achieved positive economic benefits are related to a higher level of member commitment to the cooperative.

title: Brazilian Sign Language Alphabet

description: This database contains images of Brazilian Sign Language Alphabet - (BSL, also known as LIBRAS). The database was developed using images previously available in Kaggle¹. The characteristics of the data obtained are listed below: * The database consists of 3,000 images of each sign representing the alphabet of the American Sign Language - ASL - which are 200x200 pixels.; * The images show variations in scale, distance, lighting and execution; and * The catches have a homogeneous background. This database was developed using only the images available in Kaggle. In all, images of 15 ASL static signals were selected, which have the same representation in LIBRAS. The database contains 4411 images of signs representing the LIBRAS alphabet. The characteristics of the database are: * It contains images representing 15 signs of the LIBRAS alphabet: A, B, C, D, E, I, L, M, N, O, R, S, U, V and W; * Each class/sign of the alphabet has between 150 and 600 samples; * The images have homogeneous background; and * The images have annotations that delimit the area of the image belonging to the object/sign of the alphabet. The annotation of the object present in the image was performed with the aim of creating a ground truth for evaluating algorithms of object detection, as well as enabling the training of classifiers to perform the detection. The annotations were made with LabelImg² - a graphic tool that can be used to annotate images by creating a bounding box on the objects of interest. As a result a file in XML (Extensible Markup Language) format is generated containing the ROI (region of interest) coordinates of all the bounded objects, as well as their label. ¹ https://www.kaggle.com/grassknoted/asl-alphabet ² https://github.com/tzutalin/labelImg

title: Inhibitory mechanism of FAT4 gene expression in response to actin dynamics during Src-induced carcinogenesis

description: Oncogenic transformation is characterized by morphological changes resulting from alterations in actin dynamics and adhesive activities. Emerging evidence suggests that the protocadherin FAT4 acts as a tumor suppressor in humans, and reduced <em>FAT4</em> gene expression has been reported in breast and lung cancers and melanoma. However, the mechanism controlling<em> FAT4</em> gene expression is poorly understood. In this study, we show that transient activation of the Src oncoprotein represses <em>FAT4</em> mRNA expression through actin depolymerization in the immortalized normal human mammary epithelial cell line MCF-10A. Src activation causes actin depolymerization via the MEK/Erk/Cofilin cascade. The MEK inhibitor U0126 blocks the inhibitory effect of Src on<em> FAT4</em> mRNA expression and Src-induced actin depolymerization. To determine whether actin dynamics act on the regulation of <em>FAT4</em> mRNA expression, we treated MCF-10A cells with the ROCK inhibitor Y-27632. Y-27632 treatment decreased <em>FAT4</em> mRNA expression. This suppressive effect was blocked by siRNA-mediated knockdown of Cofilin1. Furthermore, simultaneous administration of Latrunculin A (an actin depolymerizing agent), Y-27632, and Cofilin1 siRNA to the cells resulted in a marked reduction of <em>FAT4</em> mRNA expression. Intriguingly, we also found that<em> FAT4</em> mRNA expression was reduced under both low cell density and low stiffness conditions, which suggests that mechanotransduction affects <em>FAT4</em> mRNA expression. Additionally, we show that siRNA-mediated FAT4 knockdown induced the activity of the Hippo effector YAP/TAZ in MCF-10A cells. Taken together, our results reveal a novel inhibitory mechanism of <em>FAT4</em> gene expression through actin depolymerization during Src-induced carcinogenesis in human breast cells.

title: Early ovariectomy reveals a non-somatic origin of the mammalian anti-A-reactive IgM that reflects developmental malignancy.

description: The germline encoding of a non-immune immunoglobulin M (IgM) molecule in mammals was experimentally documented for the first time as a result of the specifically timed ovariectomy of C57BL/10 mice. The target of this innate antibody involves a trans-species developmental antigen that signifies malignancy when expressed in any non-developmental tissue. Although ovariectomy and castration result in uncontrolled and/or enhanced humoral and cellular immunity involving increased weights of the spleen and thymus with pronounced B and T cell production, the development of mercaptoethanol-sensitive, complement-binding, non-immune anti-A reactivity in murine plasma was not enhanced after an ovariectomy that was performed in C57BL/10 mice prior to the onset of puberty. This non-immune murine anti-A, which is complementary to the trans-species, syngeneic ovarian GalNAc-glycan-bearing glycolipids and distinct from the cross-reactive adaptive anti-A antibody, was strongly downregulated or did not appear in plasma of animals ovariectomized at the age of 20 days. Thus, contrary to our previous view, this reactivity is unlikely to originate from a somatic, primary immune or autoimmune response. All of the murine tissues expressed the species-specific Forssman<i> </i>reactivity, and further A-like structures were identified in the male and female reproductive and endodermal organs by reaction with innate human anti-A antibody, while the murine anti-A was exclusively inhibited by syngeneic ovarian glycolipids. Moreover, the early ovarian tissue, which represents a last evolutionary and/or developmental location, showed a developmental polymorphism characterized by reactivity to the lectin from <i>Dolichos biflorus</i> and the agglutinin from <i>Helix pomatia </i>indicating the functional involvement of the <i>O</i>-GalNAc-determined mucin-type A-like, Tn- and Thomsen-Friedenreich (TF) epitopes that signify malignancy when accumulated and expressed in non-developmental tissues.
