title: Supporting Information to the paper Sousa J. B. D. et al. Effects of grazing on functional diversity along secondary succession in a tropical dry forest Applied Vegetation Science.

description: Question: Livestock production is among the main anthropogenic disturbances in seasonally dry tropical forests. However, their effects on plant functional composition in dry forests are poorly understood. Our goal was to analyze the variations in both functional composition and functional diversity of plant communities under goat grazing and fallow age scenarios in a tropical dry forest.Location: Brazilian dry forest (Caatinga) in Rio Grande do Norte State, northeastern Brazil.Methods: We measured the height, leaf area, and specific leaf area of all shrub-tree and herbaceous species along a gradient varying in stocking rate, years of grazing, and fallow age. Additionally, we quantified the foliar contents of nitrogen, phosphorus, and tannins in the tree shrub layer. We tested the effects of grazing and deforestation using linear mixed models. Results: Our findings suggest that the functional diversity of plant communities in the Caatinga is not altered when goat grazing and secondary succession are examined independently. However, a combined consideration of both factors have affected the functional diversity only in the herbaceous layer. Although grazing influenced specific traits in the shrub-tree layer, the overall functional diversity remained unaltered by grazing, succession, or their interaction.Conclusions: Grazing does not interfere with the natural succession process nor diminish the functional diversity of plant communities in the Caatinga. Therefore, with appropriate management, grazing can coexist with the conservation goals of the Caatinga.

title: Extrinsic functional connectivity of the default mode network in crack-cocaine users

description: Abstract Objective: This study aimed to explore the functional connectivity of the default mode network (DMN) in crack-cocaine users, in comparison with that observed in age-matched non-drug-using controls. Materials and Methods: Inpatient crack-cocaine users who had been abstinent for at least four weeks and age-matched non-drug-using controls underwent resting state functional magnetic resonance imaging. Images were acquired while the subjects rested with their eyes closed. After data preprocessing, DMNs were defined by spatial independent component analysis and seed-based correlation analysis, by chosen regions of interest centered in the ventral anterior cingulate cortex and in the posterior cingulate cortex. Results: The functional connectivity of the DMN determined by independent component analysis did not differ between the crack-cocaine users and the controls. However, the seed-based correlation analysis seeking a single metric of functional connectivity between specific brain regions showed that the negative connectivity between the ventral anterior cingulate cortex and the left superior parietal lobule was significantly greater in the crack-cocaine users than in the controls. Conclusion: The results suggest that selective extrinsic network connectivity of the DMN related to motor and executive function is impaired during crack-cocaine addiction.

title: Data and Code Repository

description: Sexual dimorphism is prevalent in nature. Specifically, the evolution of sexually dimorphic mating signals is thought to be shaped by divergent sex roles. However, with males being choosy, how male mating behavior is shaping the evolution of these sexually dimorphic mating signals remains unclear. Can sexual dimorphism in a secondary sexual character be a predictor of its role as a mating signal?Across the <i>Drosophila</i> phylogeny, cuticular hydrocarbons (CHCs) of <i>Drosophila</i> species showed varying degrees of dimorphism. In this study, using ten <i>Drosophila</i> species, we asked the question, if sexual dimorphism in CHCs can be used to predict its roles in male courtship behavior. Our results suggest that while CHC profiles are crucial in some species for courtship initiation, the degree of sexual dimorphism in CHCs is not predictive of their role as mating signals for male mate recognition.

title: Supplementary Material for: The Clinical Manifestation of Immunosuppressive Therapy as a Tool to Improve Immune Monitoring in Renal Transplant Recipients

description: Introduction: Metrics for post-transplant immune monitoring to prevent over or under immunosuppression in renal transplant recipients (RTRs) are lacking. Methods: We surveyed 132 RTRs, 38 in the first year post transplant and 94 &gt;1 year post-transplant, to study the clinical expression of immunosuppressive therapy. A questionnaire administered to these RTRs was divided into physical (Q physical) and mental (Q mental) symptoms. Results: In multivariable models for the association between the calculated Q physical and Q mental scores and different clinical and biochemical variables in the 38 RTRs who filled out the questionnaire 130 times during the first year post-transplant, it was found that mycophenolic acid (MPA) and prednisone use increased the mean Q physical score by 0.59 (95% CI 0.21-0.98, p=0.002) and 0.53 (95% CI 0.26-0.81, p=0.00), respectively, while MPA use increased the mean Q mental score by 0.72 (95% CI 0.31-1.12, p=0.001). Among the 94 RTRs who each completed the questionnaire only once, the odds for the mean Q mental score to be above the median value were more than 3 times higher for RTRs treated vs. non-treated with MPA (OR 3.38, 95% CI 1.1-10.3, p=0.03). MPA-treated RTRs had higher mean scores for questions related to sleep disorders (1.83±1.06 vs. 1.32±0.67 for not treated, p=0.037), to difficulty falling asleep (1.72±1.11 vs. 1.16±0.5, p=0.02), and to depression and anxiety. Conclusion: We concluded that prednisone and MPA use are associated with an increased Q physical and Q mental scores in RTRs. Routine monitoring of physical and mental status of RTRs should be implemented to improve the diagnosis of overimmunosuppression. Dose reduction or discontinuation of MPA should be considered in RTRs who report sleep disorders, depression and anxiety.

title: Supplementary Material for: Effects of Cacna1d D307G mutation on blood pressure and kidney function in rats with salt loading

description: Introduction: Our recent findings revealed that CACNA1D D307G mutation participates in the early onset hypertension. Methods: we used CRISPR/Cas9 technique to generate the Cacna1d D307G mutation rat model and investigated the effects of Cacna1d D307G mutation on blood pressure (BP) and renal function. Rats fed normal-salt diet (NSD) had normal plasma aldosterone levels but higher plasma ET-1 and mildly elevated systolic blood pressure (SBP) in D307G and G307G rats compared with the wild type (WT) until 24 weeks. Renal function and renal histopathology did not significantly differ among the three groups. Results: When fed high-salt diet (HSD), D307G and G307G rats showed more sensitivity to HSD. The results showed a further increase in SBP than in WT rats. Plasma and vascular ET-1 level and cortex and renal artery endothelin type A receptor (ETA) protein expression were significantly increased. Enhanced renal injury was also noted as indicated by an increased ratio of kidney weight/body weight, elevated urinary protein and albumin/creatinine ratio, higher kidney injury molecule-1 (KIM-1) levels, advanced fibrosis and apoptosis, and inflammation. Further experiments revealed a reduction in urinary sodium excretion and creatinine clearance. Higher protein expression of renal cortex epithelial sodium channel α subunit (αENaC) was confirmed in D307G and G307G rats fed HSD. However, a selective ETA receptor blockade (ABT-627) could partially reverse the increased SBP, increased serum KIM-1 level, upregulated renal cortex protein expression of αENaC, and reduced urinary sodium excretion with reduced creatinine clearance in D307G rats fed HSD. Conclusion: Activation of ET-1/ETA system in D307G mutation rats might contributed to increased sensitivity to salt loading, augmented hypertension, and exacerbated the renal injury.

title: Supplementary Material for: Bioreactance Cardiac Output Trending Ability in Preterm Infants: A Single Centre, Longitudinal Study

description: <b><i>Introduction:</i></b> It is unknown whether bioreactance (BR) can accurately track cardiac output (CO) changes in preterm neonates. <b><i>Methods:</i></b> A prospective observational longitudinal study was performed in stable preterm infants (&lt;37 weeks) during the first 72 h of life. Stroke volume (SV) and CO, as measured by BR and transthoracic echocardiography, were compared. <b><i>Results:</i></b> The mean gestational age (GA) was 31.3 weeks and mean birth weight (BW) was 1,563 g. Overall, 690 measurements were analysed for trending ability by 4-quadrant and polar plots. For non-weight-indexed measurements, 377 (54.6%) lay outside the 5% exclusion zone, the concordance rate was poor (77.2%) with a high mean angular bias (28.6°), wide limits of agreement and a poor angular concordance rate (17.4%). Neither GA, BW nor respiratory support mode affected trending data. Patent ductus arteriosus, postnatal age, and CO level had variable effects on trending data. Trending data for 5 and 10% exclusion zones were also compared. <b><i>Conclusion:</i></b> The ability of BR to track changes in CO is not interchangeable with CO changes as measured by echocardiography. BR, as a trend monitor for changes in CO or SV to determine clinical decisions around interventions in neonatology, should be used with caution.

title: Supplementary Material for: Serum Autotaxin Level Positively Associates with Metabolic Associated Fatty Liver Disease and Hyperuricemia in Postmenopausal Women

description: Introduction: Autotaxin is an adipokine known to affect energy metabolism and lipid homeostasis. We aimed to evaluate serum autotaxin levels in metabolic associated fatty liver disease (MAFLD) and other metabolic disorders in postmenopausal women.
Methods: Postmenopausal women who received an annual health examination were included. The metabolic and demographic characteristics of the subjects were collected, including age, gender, weight, height, blood pressure, and biochemical parameters. Serum autotaxin level was determined by ELISA. 
Results: This cross-sectional includes 20 postmenopausal women and 20 age-paired healthy controls. MAFLD patients showed significant metabolic disturbance presented with increased BMI, blood pressure (P＜0.001) and decreased HDL-C (P＜0.05), as well as liver injury companied by elevated ALT (P＜0.05). Serum autotaxin levels were statistically higher in MAFLD (253.1±52.1 vs. 202.2±53.2 ng/mL; P &lt; 0.01) and positively correlated with ALT (P＜0.001), GGT and BMI (P＜0.01), SBP and TG (P＜0.05). Higher autotaxin group demonstrated worsen metabolic states with greater proportion of MAFLD, higher BMI (P＜0.01) and ALT (P＜0.05). Logistic regression analysis revealed that serum autotaxin levels would positively independently predicted MAFLD (OR 1.049, 95% CI 1.001-1.098, P＜0.05) with AUC of 0.763. Serum level of autotaxin is significantly elevated in hyperuricemia group (257.3±60.9 vs. 214.5±49.4 ng/mL; P &lt; 0.05), and positively correlated with uric acid level (P＜0.01). Serum autotaxin would also act as diagnosing parameter of hyperuricemia with AUC of 0.706.
Conclusions: Among postmenopausal women, serum autotaxin level is significantly elevated in MAFLD and related to multiple metabolic characteristics, especially hyperuricemia, which would thus serve as a potential non-invasive biomarker as well as a therapeutic target.

title: Supplementary Material for: Results of a Gene Panel Approach in a Cohort of Patients with Incomplete Distal Renal Tubular Acidosis and Nephrolithiasis

description: <b><i>Background:</i></b> Distal renal tubular acidosis (dRTA) is characterized by an impairment of urinary acidification resulting in metabolic acidosis, hypokalemia, and inappropriately elevated urine pH. If not treated, this chronic condition eventually leads to nephrocalcinosis, nephrolithiasis, impaired renal function, and bone demineralization. dRTA is a well-defined entity that can be diagnosed by genetic testing of 5 genes known to be disease-causative. Incomplete dRTA (idRTA) is defined as impaired urinary acidification that does not lead to overt metabolic acidosis and therefore can be diagnosed if patients fail to adequately acidify urine after an ammonium chloride (NH<sub>4</sub>Cl) challenge or furosemide and fludrocortisone test. It is still uncertain whether idRTA represents a distinct entity or is part of the dRTA spectrum and whether it is caused by mutations in the same genes of overt dRTA. <b><i>Methods:</i></b> In this cross-sectional study, we investigated a group of 22 stone formers whose clinical features were suspicious of idRTA. They underwent an NH<sub>4</sub>Cl challenge and were found to have impaired urinary acidification ability. These patients were then analyzed by genetic testing with sequencing of 5 genes: <i>SLC4A1</i>, <i>ATP6V1B1</i>, <i>ATP6V0A4</i>, <i>FOXI1</i>, and <i>WDR72</i>. <b><i>Results:</i></b> Two unrelated individuals were found to have two different variants in <i>SLC4A1</i> that had never been described before. <b><i>Conclusions:</i></b> Our results suggest the involvement of other genes or nongenetic tubular dysfunction in the pathogenesis of idRTA in stone formers. However, genetic testing may represent a cost-effective tool to recognize, treat, and prevent complications in these patients.

title: VALUE CO-CREATION IN THE SPECIALTY COFFEE VALUE CHAIN: THE THIRD-WAVE COFFEE MOVEMENT

description: ABSTRACT Brazil represents approximately 29% of the world’s coffee exports, with 15% of that being "specialty coffee." Most Brazilian coffee exports are composed of commoditized green beans, influencing the value chain to be grounded on an exchange paradigm. This scenario started to change with the introduction of specialized coffee shops, coffee capsules for home consumption, and demand for a more artisanal product. A paradigm of value creation along the chain drives production processes that aim to differentiate products through superior coffee beans and unique experiences. This study was developed through content analysis of 15 years of news collected from two Brazilian newspapers. Additionally, we interviewed owners of coffee shops, coffee producers, cooperatives, intermediaries, and regulators. We concluded that the value chain faces challenges in reaching higher value-in-use creation for all involved actors.

title: SOX10 Upstream Deletion

description: Chicken plumage color is a complex trait controlled by many genes. Herein, through Rhode Island Red (RIR) and White Leghorn (WL) cross populations, the segregation of plumage color was observed in females, showed white, dark red (DR) and light yellow (LY), respectively. The white has been found to be caused by dominant white alleles (<i>I</i>)<i> </i>and the DR phenotype is attributed to a sex-linked recessive silver allele (<i>s</i>). LY is a derived feather color phenotype and the genetic mechanism of this is unclear. In order to explore genetic basis for LY, we randomly selected 40 DR and 39 LY chickens for paired-end sequencing to obtain the SNP set of all chickens. Then the case-control genome wide association study (GWAS) was performed to identify the phenotype related mutations. The association analysis showed that only one region harboring the SOX10 gene was significantly associated to LY. We furtherly discovered that the sequencing depth of DR chickens upstream of SOX10 is significantly higher than LY chickens. Subsequent diagnostic PCR tests showed that there is a ~7.6 kb deletion in LY chickens and that all LY chickens are homozygous for this deletion, indicating the deletion is causative for LY phenotype.

title: Dataset <b>Assessing Teachers' Emotional Intelligence Using the MSCEIT</b>

description: Emotional intelligence (EI) is essential for effective teaching, particularly in multicultural classrooms where linguistic and cultural diversity influences student engagement and learning outcomes. In foundation year programs (FYPs) in Saudi Arabia, Qatar, and the UAE, EI enhances teacher-student interactions, reduces stress, and fosters inclusive learning environments. However, research on its direct impact in these settings remains limited.This study examines the relationship between teachers’ EI and their classroom effectiveness, focusing on student engagement, empathy, and stress resilience. A quantitative correlational design was employed, assessing 83 FYP teachers using the Mayer-Salovey-Caruso Emotional Intelligence Test (MSCEIT). Structured classroom observations and student surveys measured engagement, empathy, and stress resilience. Based on MSCEIT scores, teachers were classified into high (23), medium (40), and low (20) EI levels. Data were analyzed using ANOVA, Pearson correlation, and multiple regression.Results indicate that teachers with higher EI exhibited significantly better student engagement, empathy, and stress resilience. Findings support Bar-On’s (2006) Emotional-Social Intelligence Model, reinforcing EI’s role in fostering effective teaching. These findings underscore the importance of EI in multicultural education, reinforcing the need for targeted teacher training and professional development programs. Future research should explore the long-term impact of EI on teacher effectiveness and examine cross-cultural differences to enhance teacher preparation and student outcomes globally.
