Bacterial Utilization of Dodecyl Sulfate and Dodecyl Benzene Sulfonate

Field: Immunology and Microbiology (Life Sciences)

Two unknown bacterial isolants (C12 and C12B) were obtained from enriched soils and cultured on media containing detergent compounds as sole sources of carbon. Either isolant destroyed the foaming capacity of cultures containing dodecyl sulfate; but C12B, which could grow on dodecyl benzene sulfonate (DBS) whereas C12 could not, did not destroy the foaming capacity of this surfactant. The source of DBS available in quantity was a mixture of isomers derived from kerosene, and the bacteria utilized only one-fifth to one-fourth of this material during growth. Both isolants grew on short- or long-chained organic acids, and resting cells of both rapidly oxidized several long-chain acids and alcohols. Three of five phenyl-placement isomers of DBS (with the phenyl group at carbon 2, 3, or 6 on the alkyl chains) were excellent substrates for growth of C12B, but isomers with phenyl placement at carbon 4 or 5 were toxic and killed the bacteria.
Role of the greater sciatic notch of the hip bone in sexual dimorphism: a morphometric study of the North Indian population

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

The distinctive morphology and sexual dimorphism of the human hip bone makes it of interest from the anatomical, anthropological and forensic points of view. The shape of the greater sciatic notch has attracted great attention in the past. In the current investigation, an attempt has been made to find the baseline data of various parameters pertaining to the greater sciatic notch of 100 hip bones of known sex (male:female = 80:20) and side (right:left = 50:50), obtained from the Department of Anatomy, Government Medical College, Amritsar, Punjab, India, during the period 2007–2009. Seven parameters of the notch, viz. width, depth, posterior segment width, total angle, posterior segment angle, index I and index II of the greater sciatic notch were studied. The results thus obtained were compiled, tabulated, statistically analysed and were compared with the accessible literature. Out of all the parameters studied, width of the notch, posterior segment width, total angle, posterior segment angle and index II of notch were found to be significantly greater in women as compared with men. Thus the greater sciatic notch can serve as a reliable sex indicator even when the complete hip bone has not been well preserved.

Tristetraprolin Mediates Radiation-Induced TNF- a Production in Lung Macrophages

Field: Biochemistry, Genetics and Molecular Biology (Life Sciences)

The efficacy of radiation therapy for lung cancer is limited by radiation-induced lung toxicity (RILT). Although tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-a) signaling plays a critical role in RILT, the molecular regulators of radiation-induced TNF-a production remain unknown. We investigated the role of a major TNF-a regulator, Tristetraprolin (TTP), in radiation-induced TNF-a production by macrophages. For in vitro studies we irradiated (4 Gy) either a mouse lung macrophage cell line, MH-S or macrophages isolated from TTP knockout mice, and studied the effects of radiation on TTP and TNF-a levels. To study the in vivo relevance, mouse lungs were irradiated with a single dose (15 Gy) and assessed at varying times for TTP alterations. Irradiation of MH-S cells caused TTP to undergo an inhibitory phosphorylation at Ser-178 and proteasome-mediated degradation, which resulted in increased TNF-a mRNA stabilization and secretion. Similarly, MH-S cells treated with TTP siRNA or macrophages isolated from ttp (2/2) mice had higher basal levels of TNF-a, which was increased minimally after irradiation. Conversely, cells overexpressing TTP mutants defective in undergoing phosphorylation released significantly lower levels of TNF-a. Inhibition of p38, a known kinase for TTP, by either siRNA or a small molecule inhibitor abrogated radiation-induced TNF-a release by MH-S cells. Lung irradiation induced TTPSer178 phosphorylation and protein degradation and a simultaneous increase in TNF-a production in C57BL/6 mice starting 24 h post-radiation. In conclusion, irradiation of lung macrophages causes TTP inactivation via p38-mediated phosphorylation and proteasome-mediated degradation,
Accountability in Public International Development Finance

Field: Social Sciences (Social Sciences)

Amidst an explosion of new global governance practices during the last quarter century, one of the most striking developments has been the rise of new norms and institutions of accountability.The world of development finance has been a central site in which this new politics of accountability has unfolded.Under scrutiny and pressure from civil society groups and key countries, prominent international development financing institutions have increasingly acknowledged the need for them to answer for their decisions to an expanding array of 'stakeholders' outside their own organisations, increase transparency, strengthen dialogue with external stakeholders, promote adherence to internal policies, and in some cases also provide access to grievance procedures for people affected by development finance activities.
Prevalence and Survival Patterns of Patients with Bone Metastasis from Common Cancers in Thailand

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

The frequency of the top five types of bone metastasis in Thailand were different from the frequencies in other countries, but corresponded to the relative prevalence of the cancers in Thailand and osteophilic properties of each cancer. The results of this study support the establishment of country specific guidelines for primary cancer identification with skeletal lesions of unknown origin. In addition, further clinical studies of the top five bone metastases should be performed to develop guidelines for optimal patient management during palliative care.
Short and long-term acclimation to water status at leaf and plant level of fungus-tolerant genotypes

Field: Agricultural and Biological Sciences (Life Sciences)

Today’s viticulture faces the double challenge of reducing chemical input while adapting plant material to future climate conditions. Adopting fungus disease-tolerant varieties appears to be a long-term solution as long as they are performant under abiotic constraints, such as drought. This study aimed to study the effects of water deficit (WD) and characterise the different strategies adopted to cope with drought in six new fungus disease-tolerant varieties selected by INRAE compared to Syrah. During five consecutive seasons (2018 to 2022), a gradient of WD was applied in field conditions and monitored through vine predawn water potential measurements. Grape development was non-destructively tracked by imaging to determine the arrest of berry phloem unloading. All variables were collected at the single plant level. The impacts of WD on leaf gas exchange and intrinsic water use efficiency (WUEi), vegetative development and yield components were assessed, as well as the genotypic sensitivity to WD at the leaf, vegetative and reproductive levels. All variables were negatively impacted by WD, except for intrinsic water use efficiency and total non-structural carbohydrate concentrations. Genotypes were differently impacted by WD at the physiological and vegetative levels, while no genotype-dependent response was observed for most reproductive variables. Generally, genotypes with the highest potential (highest intercept) in a certain variable were also the most sensitive to water deficit (higher slope). The most sensitive genotype regarding physiological and reproductive variables was G5, which showed higher reductions in berry weight, photosynthesis and WUEi, contrasting with Syrah, 3159B and Floreal. In this study, we observed a diversity of strategies to cope with WD in the long term, where some genotypes opted to reduce most variables (G5 and Artaban) or to maintain functioning at higher levels (Syrah and 3176N). Others displayed mixed responses: either reducing vegetative growth more than yield (3159B) or vice-versa (G14).
Growth and nitrogen recovery in the above-ground biomass of eleven self-reseeding annual legumes grown in a rainfed olive orchard

Field: Agricultural and Biological Sciences (Life Sciences)

Most of the traditional dry-farmed olive orchards of the NE of Portugal are planted in shallow soils on sloping terrain. The olive yields obtained are usually low, due to the severe environmental constraints under which these orchards are grown. Growing olive trees in such hard conditions, may recommend the management of the orchards as organic, a low-input farming system from which the farmer profit can arise from the appreciation of the price of the olive oil. The natural soil fertility of these orchards is usually very low, being nitrogen the most limiting nutrient to the growth of the trees (Rodrigues et al., 2011). Objectively, to manage these orchards as organic and to maintain the soil fertility and the tree nutritional status in an acceptable level, there is a single option: the introduction of legume species as cover crops. Legumes can access atmospheric N2, due to the symbiotic relationship that they can establish with nitrogen-fixing bacteria (Russelle, 2008). In this work eleven self-reseeding annual legumes were introduced in a rainfed olive orchard in order to test their suitability to be used as cover crops. The legume species/varieties were grown as pure stand and managed without grazing, since currently the farmers of the region are not raising animals. The cover crops were shown in September 2009, and data on dry matter yield, nitrogen recovery, ground cover percentage, persistence of the sown species, …, are recorded for four consecutive growing seasons.
Investigation of congenital syphilis cases: tool for surveillance, permanent education and management

Field: Health Professions (Health Sciences)

Introduction: Even though syphilis is an easily detectable and treatable disease, it is still considered a major public health problem, which may lead to Congenital Syphilis (CS). Objective: To analyze the final conclusion and the situations of vulnerability of cases of CS reported in Niterói in 2018 and 2019. Methods: A review of the reported cases of CS, except for abortions, diagnosed in 2018 and 2019, was carried out through SINAN forms and research questionnaires. Results: Of the 46 cases of CS in 2018 and the 107 cases in 2019, 8 (17.4%) and 4 (4%) did not undergo prenatal care, respectively; 2 (4.4%) and 4 (4%) were not screened for CS in the prenatal period; 3 (6.5%) and 13 (12%) were screened, but not treated; 11 (23.9%) and 17 (16%) did not receive an adequate treatment; 1 0 (21.7%) and 23 (21%) were reactive in the screening process, received adequate treatment, but were reinfected; 9 (19.6%) and 32 (30%) were reactive in the screening process, received adequate treatment, but had confirmed CS due to other criteria; 3 (6.5%) and 12 (11%) were non-reactive in prenatal care, but reactive in childbirth; and 0 (0%) and 2 (2%) were reactive, considered a serological scar, untreated, but confirmed by other criteria. The “low-income family” vulnerability aspect appears 21 times in 2018 and 50 times in 2019; “alcohol user”, 11 times in 2018; “frequent change of address”, 18 times in 2019. Conclusion: The social context of pregnant women living in Niterói in 2018 and 2019 may have determined the outcome of congenital syphilis.

The implementation of technology into the curricula of selected independent piano studios

Field: Arts and Humanities (Social Sciences)

Of the 225 returned surveys, 76 independent piano teachers with 12 or more students reported using one or more forms of technology in their curricula: 47 used computers in their teaching, 47 used keyboard technology, 44 used accompaniment disks, and 16 used the Internet for teaching. Sixty-two percent of the 76 teachers employed two or more forms of technology in their studios. Digital keyboard technology was the primary teaching tool for 36% of the 47 keyboard users. Computer-assisted instruction software received much wider usage (91% of 47 computer users) than notation, sequencing, and accompaniment application software (51%). Although 93% of 47 teachers had Internet access, only 36% taught with the technology. Most of the 76 teachers reported the positive pedagogical impact of technology use in their curricula and listed workshops/seminars and colleagues as the foremost resources for acquiring knowledge on music technology.
Crime and Delinquency in an Essex Parish 1600–1640

Field: Social Sciences (Social Sciences)

It is, perhaps, inevitable that the most significant type of study produced by the recent growth of interest in the history of crime in pre-industrial England should be that based upon the county and the work of the courts of assize and quarter sessions. Although the activities of the assizes must, for many purposes, be examined in a national context, the judges sat shire by shire to deal with the crimes committed on the circuit they rode, and the indictments for felony, recording the more serious offences, were generally filed by county. Firstly, the very fact that a study of crime and delinquency in a seventeenth-century parish should end by describing a group of religious radicals reintroduces the whole problem of the definition of 'crime' in this period. Governmental ambitions for a disciplined populace and the element of self-regulation combined with the economic and social structure to produce a distinctive type of criminal.
UE-to-network relay model B discovery in ProSe-enabled LTE networks

Field: Computer Science (Physical Sciences)

In this paper, we expand previous analytical models to offer a more complete representation of Model B ProSe direct discovery. Using these models, we can obtain performance metrics such as the average time a given Remote User Equipment (UE) takes to discover a Relay UE, and we can examine the sensitivity of the relay performance to various input parameters such as the number of Remote UEs, the number of Relay UEs, and the Discovery message transmission rate. We use ns- 3 system level simulations to validate our analytical model and determine the optimal strategy for UEs to use in various deployment scenarios.
Acute oral pain and mucositis in bone marrow transplant and leukemia patients: data from a pilot study.

Field: Nursing (Health Sciences)

The purposes of this prospective, repeated-measures descriptive pilot study were to describe patterns of acute oral pain and mucositis in patients receiving a bone marrow transplant or high-dose chemotherapy for leukemia, and to test procedures and instruments before initiating a larger intervention study. A nonprobability, purposive selection process was used to enroll 18 patients admitted to two acute care inpatient hospital units for bone marrow transplantation or leukemia therapy at a university health sciences center in the southeastern United States. Data were collected at baseline, then daily through patient interviews, oral examination, and chart review for at least 3 weeks or until discharge. Research variables were pain intensity, intolerable pain, verbal descriptors of pain, pain relief, and use of pain relief strategies (Pain Assessment Form), mucositis (erythema and ulceration) in eight anatomic locations of the oral cavity (Oral Mucositis Index), voice/talking (Oral Assessment Guide), and mood states (11-item Brief Profile of Mood States). Mild to moderate pain occurred in nearly 70% of patients and was described as "tender," "irritating," and "sore." Patients used pain medicines, mouth care, and mental and physical activities to relieve pain, and reported partial overall relief of pain. Mucositis was mild, with the tongue and buccal and labial mucosa most commonly affected with erythema and the buccal mucosa with ulceration. Voice/talking were only mildly impaired, and mood disturbance was mild. Patterns of pain, mucositis, and mood disturbance were consistent with each other and followed the trajectory described in previous research. Results suggest that nurses should continue to assess these symptoms vigorously and assist patients in selecting multiple management strategies. Research using repeated-measures designs in this acutely ill inpatient population is challenging and needs careful attention by researchers. The results have been used to improve the ongoing larger intervention study.
Key Roles for Tyrosine 10 in Aβ–Heme Complexes and Its Relevance to Oxidative Stress

Field: Biochemistry, Genetics and Molecular Biology (Life Sciences)

Amyloid β-peptide (Aβ) aggregation in the brain, known as amyloid plaques, is a pathological feature of Alzheimer's disease (AD). Recent studies show that heme binds to the His residue of Aβ with the iron center and subsequently forms an Aβ-heme complex, which can inhibit Aβ aggregation. Although Tyr-10 was not the residue binding heme, the key roles for Tyr-10 in Aβ-heme complexes and its potential biological relevance to AD etiology under oxidative stress were not sufficiently evaluated. Here, we used wild-type and Tyr-10-mutated human Aβ peptides and studied the impact of the mutation on Aβ-heme peroxidase activity, heme-bound Aβ aggregation, and oxidation and nitration under oxidative and nitrative stresses. Our results indicate that the mutation of Tyr-10 in Aβ16 and Aβ40 decreased the peroxidase activity of Aβ-heme complexes and that the mutation of Tyr-10 could inhibit Aβ40 self-assembly aggregation. Under oxidative (H2O2) and nitrative (H2O2/NaNO2) stress conditions, the Aβ40-heme complexes caused oxidation and nitration of the Aβ Tyr-10 residue through promoting peroxidase-like reactions, which were different from the classic inhibitive effect of heme on Aβ aggregation. To our knowledge, this is the first time that the formation of a heme-to-protein cross-linked Aβ40-heme complex under oxidative stress has been reported; in addition, the mutation of Tyr-10 could inhibit the cross-link formation. Therefore, Tyr-10 is pivotal in Aβ-heme complexes and plays key roles in Aβ aggregation under oxidative and nitrative stresses, demonstrating a novel significance of Tyr-10 as well as Aβ-heme complexes in the pathology of AD.

Unobtrusive Academic Emotion Recognition Based on Facial Expression Using RGB-D Camera Using Adaptive-Network-Based Fuzzy Inference System (ANFIS)

Field: Computer Science (Physical Sciences)

Quality of learning in the classroom is influenced by many factors. One of them is the academic emotions of the students. The emotion detection in the classroom cannot be done by using sensors attached to the body of the students, because it would disturb the concentration of the students. The proposed solution is by using unobtrusive emotion detection, e.g. by placing video capture equipment, which is not visible at the front of the student's desk. In this study, an RGB - Depth Microsoft Kinect camera is used to record facial expressions by considering the convenience factor of the students, speed of response time, and cost efficiency. A combination of Cohn-Kanade dataset and EURECOM dataset is used as the training set in machine learning with Adaptive-Network-Based Fuzzy Inference System (ANFIS) algorithm, with 8 sample of Asian race students (4 male and 4 female students).
UK White Paper on online harms faces major obstacles

Field: Social Sciences (Social Sciences)

Subject Forthcoming UK White Paper on online harms. Significance The UK Department for Digital, Culture, Media and Sport (DCMS) is expected soon to publish a White Paper on online harms, which will also propose new regulations for technology firms and penalties for non-compliance. Impacts Increased encryption would help tighten privacy but limit law enforcement’s capacity to monitor online criminal activity. This change may reduce the scope of investigative journalism and open-source intelligence. Social media will focus on improving technological filters to monitor extremist content.
