MicroRNA‐424 regulates epithelial‐mesenchymal transition of endometrial carcinoma by directly targeting insulin‐like growth factor 1 receptor

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

Abstract Although numerous miRNAs are reported to contribute to the carcinogenesis of malignant tumor, the specific role of miR‐424 in endometrial carcinoma is seldom reported. To explore the effect of miR‐424 on epithelial‐mesenchymal transition and its underlying mechanism, we detected miR‐424 expression in endometrial carcinoma tissue and cells. We found that miR‐424 was significantly downregulated in endometrial carcinoma tissues and cells, especially in HEC‐1B cells. To perform the functional analysis, we transfected HEC‐1B with miR‐424‐mi, miR‐424‐inh, mi‐control, and inh‐control, respectively. We found that overexpression of miR‐424 significantly decreases cell proliferation and migration, accompanied with the increased E‐cadherin/Vimentin expression and the transition of mesenchymal to epithelial cell phenotype. We identified that insulin‐like growth factor‐1 receptor (IGF‐1R) was a potential target of miR‐424 by computational analysis followed by luciferase reporter assays. Of note, we found that the downregulation of miR‐424 in HEC‐1B cells enhanced endogenous IGF‐1R expression. Further mechanistic analysis revealed that forced expression of IGF‐1R in miR‐424‐mim transfected cells remedied the weakened migration resulting from overexpression of IGF‐1R. Taken together, the results of the current study demonstrated that miR‐424 was a tumor suppressor for endometrial carcinoma and a favorable factor against tumor progression through targeting IGF‐1R, thus providing a target for the treatment of endometrial carcinoma.
Vegetation of stream-bed garigues in the Antiapennine range of Tuscany and Latium (central Italy), especially the new association Santolino etruscae-Saturejetum montanae

Field: Agricultural and Biological Sciences (Life Sciences)

The authors describe the prevalently chamaephytic vegetation found on terraces of fluvial origin along water courses in the Antiapennine range of Tuscany and Latium (Provinces of Siena, Grosseto and Viterbo) on stable or rarely disturbed sandy-pebbly alluvium. This vegetation is of the primary type, characterized principally by Santolina etrusca, Satureja montana, Teucrium montanum, Helichrysum italicum, Linum tenuifolium and Bromus erectus, strongly determined by soil and closely related to the geomorphological and hydrological features of the station. The syntaxonomic, synecological and syndynamic setting of this vegetation is discussed by comparison with similar types described in other places. A new association, Santolino etruscae-Saturejetum montanae, is proposed. It is temporarily collocated in the alliance Xerobromion (Festuco-Brometea), and has at least two subassociations: the first, saturejetosum, on consolidated material hardly ever subject to disturbance by flooding; the second, inuletosum, on wider, occasionally disturbed terraces. Contact vegetation, linked to the different ecological conditions occurring in these biotopes, is briefly described.
The hidden locality in swarms

Field: Computer Science (Physical Sciences)

People use P2P systems such as BitTorrent to share an unprecedented variety and amount of content with others around the world. The random connection pattern used by BitTorrent has been shown to result in reduced performance for users and costly cross-ISP traffic. Although several client-side systems have been proposed to improve the locality of BitTorrent traffic, their effectiveness is limited by the availability of local peers. We show that sufficient locality is present in swarms - if one looks at the right time. We find that 50% of ISPs have at least five local peers online during the ISP's peak hour, typically in the evening, compared to only 20% of ISPs during the median hour. To better discover these local peers, we show how to increase the overall peer discovery rate by over two orders of magnitude using client-side techniques: leveraging additional trackers, requesting more peers per sample, and sampling more frequently. We propose an approach to predict future availability of local peers based on observed diurnal patterns. This approach enables peers to selectively apply these techniques to minimize undue load on trackers.
Oral Health Promotion During Well Visits

Field: Health Professions (Health Sciences)

Training pediatric residents in Bright Futures and oral health concepts is critical to improving oral health. This study's objective was to determine the skill level of pediatric residents in integrating oral health promotion during health supervision visits of 12- to 35-month-old children. One hundred forty-three pediatric residents participated in an evaluation of the effectiveness of a Bright Futures oral health curriculum. Competencies assessed preintervention included partnership building, communication, and integration of oral health concepts. Pediatric residents' abilities to integrate oral health promotion into health supervision visits varied considerably. Residents demonstrated greater skill in communication and partnership building compared with oral health promotion behaviors and performance of an oral examination. Further education is needed at a national level if we are to meet Healthy People 2020 goals.

Making Sense of Metadata Mess: Alignment & Risk Assessment for Diatom Data Use Case

Field: Environmental Science (Physical Sciences)

Biologists study Diatoms, a fundamental algae, to assess the health of aquatic systems. Diatom specimens have traditionally been preserved on analog slides, where a single slide can contain thousands of these microscopic organisms. Digitization of these collections presents both metadata challenges and opportunities. This paper reports on metadata research aimed at providing access to a digital portion of the Academy of Natural Sciences' Diatom Herbarium, Drexel University. We report results of a 3-part study covering 1) a review of relevant metadata standards and a microscopy metadata framework shared by Hammer et al., 2) a baseline metadata alignment mapping current diatom metadata properties to standard metadata types, and 3) a metadata risk analysis associated with the course of standard data curation practices. This research is part of an effort involving the transfer of these digital slides to an new system, DataFed, to support global accessible. The final section of this paper includes a conclusion and discusses next steps.

Medicine and the US embargo against Cuba

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

To the Editor. —In his Commentary, 1 Dr Chelala proposes negotiations between Cuban and US physicians as an avenue toward a more open and democratic society to benefit the Cuban people. Chelala's political naivete assumes that Castro will go along with any type of rapprochement that will endanger his absolute hold on power. To the contrary, this softening of the embargo as proposed by Chelala and others will be used by Castro toward his own goals of survival. At any time Castro will stop any moves designed to threaten his full dictatorship with swift action. The shooting down of 2 unarmed small planes over international waters with the loss of innocent lives attests to that. The only embargo worth lifting is the one Castro's illegitimate government has on the Cuban people. Castro's days are numbered. The only rational policy toward Cuba is to take the steps to accelerate this process.
Response of wild smooth-head catfish (Clarias liocephalus) fingerlings reared in earthen ponds

Field: Agricultural and Biological Sciences (Life Sciences)

Clarias liocephalus, an important small fish in the diet of rural households, is threatened by wetland degradation and overfishing for use as live bait. This study aimed at establishing the survival, condition, growth rate and feed utilization indices of C. liocephalus wild fingerlings reared outside the wetland environment through a feeding experiment. Fingerlings were fed with an isocaloric feed with four levels of crude protein for eleven weeks. Results showed that C. liocephalus could endure wide ranges of water temperatures, low levels of dissolved oxygen and could efficiently utilize artificial feeds. The 35% crude protein diet was the best utilized with a feed conversion ratio of 4.18. The mean specific growth rate was 2.2 to 2.5%, which is comparable to that of other reared Clariidae. Fish condition was best with the 30 and 35% diets and mean survival was 46.44% (±3.159SE) and not significantly different (p<0.05), for the four diets. This new information is useful as reference in recommending the species for aquaculture. Rearing C. liocephalus could also reduce rural malnutrition and fish-protein deficiency especially in rural poor communities. Rearing trials for longer periods and measurement of other key production indices required in aquaculture of C. liocephalus were recommended. Key words: Wetland habitats, micronutrients, hapas, fish feeds.
MEASURING ENGLISH LANGUAGE TEACHER CANDIDATES’ INTERCULTURAL SENSITIVITY: A KEY ELEMENT TO FOSTER INTERCULTURAL COMMUNICATIVE COMPETENCE

Field: Arts and Humanities (Social Sciences)

A multicultural and global society makes intercultural communication an indispensable part of communication. As an affective dimension of intercultural communicative competence, intercultural sensitivity has drawn the attention of scholars throughout the past years. However, there is still a misperception about intercultural sensitivity with other cognitive, affective and behavioral domains of intercultural communication such as intercultural awareness, intercultural adroitness and intercultural communicative competence. Important scholars in the field define intercultural sensitive persons as those who are conscious in their interactions and accept interlocutors’ ideas without judgment of their personal complexity. In this angle, English language teachers’ sensitivity towards other cultures has significant meaning to make language learners better foreign language learners and speakers. Thus, the current study aims to investigate English Language Teacher candidates’ intercultural sensitivity level. In this study, ISS (intercultural sensitivity scale, Chen and Starosta, 2000) is used to measure the results of the 61 student teachers who participated in the study. Participants’ intercultural sensitivity levels are analyzed in SPSS due to interaction engagement, respect for cultural differences, interaction confidence, enjoyment and attentiveness. The results show that English language teacher candidates enjoy interacting with people from other cultures and they are sensitive towards cultural differences and complexities. Keywords: Intercultural Communication, Intercultural Sensitivity, Culture, English Language Teachers.
A Modified Soil Tilth Index and Its Relationship with Rice Yield

Field: Agricultural and Biological Sciences (Life Sciences)

ABSTRACT: This study was conducted to investigate the effect of rotary tillage on some soil physical properties (bulk density, cone index, plasticity index, aggregate uniformity coefficient) and organic matter, and to develop and evaluate a soil tilth index based on changes of these soil properties. The tillage treatments were 4 x 3 factorial combinations of forward speeds obtained with four selected tractor transmission gears (Gear 1 High, Gear 2 Low, Gear 3 Low and Gear 4 Low), and three rotary tilling speeds (140 rpm, 175 rpm and 200 rpm) of commonly used tillage implements in Malaysian paddy fields. Experimental results indicated a significant decrease in bulk density of the soil due to rotary tillage. The other soil parameters were not significantly affected by the tillage operation. Analysis of variance indicated significant difference (p&lt;0.01) among the rice yield means. Bulk density was identified to have a high positive correlation with the rice yield. A tilth index consequently developed with bulk density, cone index and plasticity index gave better predictability (r2 = 0.56) of rice yield than when individual soil properties were considered. Results of the study suggest that tilth index may assist in yield prediction by comparing measured soil conditions in a paddy field.
[Electron transfer in hemoproteins. III. Physico-chemical characteristics of autoxidation of sperm whale oxymyoglobin].

Field: Chemistry (Physical Sciences)

The influence of pH, temperature and ionic strength on the autoxidation of sperm whale oxy-Mb is described and the data obtained are discussed. The process depends on the ionization of two groups with pKeff approximately or equal to 6. They are not accessible histidines of Mb. There are two parallel processes of autoxidation and each of them have a different temperature dependence. Two regions of ionic strength of opposite influence on the rats of autoxidation both at "low" (10 degrees C) and "high" (30 degrees C) temperatures were found.

Ferroelectric liquid crystals as flow-field sensors in boundary layer investigation

Field: Materials Science (Physical Sciences)

Abstract Utilization of Ferroelectric Liquid Crystals in a simple new configuration, one rigid surface and the other exposed directly to the flow field, for non-intrusive global as well as local 2D surface stress field determination is reported. Shear flow-field induced optical switching on the boundary layer has been used both in the transmission as well as in the reflection mode operation of the sensor. Characteristics of domain formation in an A - C* and a N* - C* material and the optical response of domains to an applied shear stress in the plane of the C* layers are described. Optical polarization microscopy has been used to measure the transmitted and the reflected light intensities as function of flow parameters. Using micro wind tunnel in conjunction with polarizing microscopy, change in director orientation as a function of the shear stress field has been determined. Director dynamics has been discussed from free energy considerations in the present context.

ANALISIS LITERASI KEUANGAN SYARIAH PADA PELAKU UMKM GENERASI MILENIAL DI KOTA PACITAN

Field: Business, Management and Accounting (Social Sciences)

The low level of Islamic financial literacy among millennial MSME actors has become an issue that may hinder optimal business management in accordance with Sharia principles. This study aims to analyze the level of Islamic financial literacy among millennial-generation MSME actors in Pacitan City. The research employs a descriptive quantitative approach using a survey method, in which data were collected through questionnaires distributed to respondents who are millennial MSME owners. Islamic financial literacy is measured based on four indicators: knowledge of financial management, credit management, savings and investment management, and risk management. The findings reveal that, in general, the Islamic financial literacy level of MSME actors falls into the less literate category. The credit management indicator recorded the lowest score and is classified as not literate, while the indicators of financial management knowledge, savings and investment management, and risk management are categorized as less literate. These results indicate the urgent need for interventions in the form of education, training, and assistance to improve the understanding and skills of MSME actors in managing finances in accordance with Islamic principles.
Viability of Cacao Beans

Field: Agricultural and Biological Sciences (Life Sciences)

SUMMARY The rapid loss of viability in extracted cacao beans prevents long storage or long periods of shipment of selected seeds. Beans partially dried in a stream of carbon dioxide or nitrogen and stored at 25 to 28°C remained viable up to 60 days whereas those dried in air lost viability within 45 days. Storage of artificially dried beans in the absence of air was detrimental to their viability. A moisture content of about 50 per cent gave a high percentage germination within 30 days and reduced deterioration of beans.
On Reading St. Augustine’s Confessions

Field: Arts and Humanities (Social Sciences)

This essay is intended as a guide for beginning readers of Augustine, for teachers charged with helping these readers understand Augustine, and for those interested in a problem that confronted Augustine first as a reader and eventually as an author: how do books help us understand ourselves even as we understand their author? A famously dysfunctional reader, Don Quixote de la Mancha, opens the essay as an example of a soul imprisoned by books because subject to slavish imitation. With this caution firmly in view, I offer a series of tips on how readers of the Confessions can approach the work with appropriate freshness, developing strategies for reading not only Augustine but also other great authors as well. I stress especially the dialogical character of Confessions and, with it, Augustine’s qualified continuity with the Platonic-Socratic tradition of text-as-conversation. In so doing, I emphasize Augustine’s emerging pedagogy based on his understanding of the function of signs and the affective character of the poetic imagination. In this way, Augustine translates the Socratic tradition into a distinctively Christian idiom while providing a prospective antidote to Quixote’s misplaced flights of intellectual and moral fancy, inviting the reader to begin his own independent spiritual journey.
OFFICE LAYOUT AND WORKSPACE ENCLOSURE AS MEDIATORS TO WORKERS' PRIVACY AND COMMUNICATION AFFECTING PRODUCTIVITY

Field: Social Sciences (Social Sciences)

This study is part of a complex research on current Japanese office environments. Based on qualitative and quantitative data from group interviews and questionnaires, 'free-layout' and seating positions in 'isle-type' layout, as well as levels of workspace enclosures were defined and then cross-tabulated by the following psychophysical environmental characteristics: visual- and acoustical privacy (noise issues) and ease of communication. Layout differences did not have strong effects on privacy and noise issues, but affected intersectional communication. Seating positions affected workers' visual and acoustical privacy, as well as communication. Enclosure levels had the strongest mediating effects on privacy and communication. Communication and visual privacy showed significant positive correlations with different facets of productivities. Noise and lack of privacy were pointed out as most serious issues.
Towards a computing model for the LHCb Upgrade

Field: Physics and Astronomy (Physical Sciences)

The LHCb experiment will be upgraded for data taking in the LHC Run 3. The foreseen trigger output bandwidth trigger ofa few GB/s will result in data sets of tens of PB per year, which need to be efficiently streamed and stored offline for low-latency data analysis. In addition, simulation samples of up to two orders of magnitude larger than those currently simulated are envisaged, with big impact on offline computing and storage resources. This contribution discusses the offline computing model and the required offline resources for the LHCb upgrade, as resulting from the above requirements.
ª Federation of European Neuroscience Societies Social context modulates behavioural and brain immediate early gene responses to sound in male songbird

Field: Neuroscience (Life Sciences)

Although it is well known that brain sensory information processing is a highly modulated phenomenon, how this brain function is shaped by experience and social context remains a question to explore. In this paper, we present the first attempt to investigate this problem using a songbird acoustic communication paradigm. Social context is well known to influence acoustic communicating behaviours in birds. The present paper investigates whether brain processing of auditory inputs can be modulated by this ‘audience effect’. Given that call-based communication is known to be highly context-dependent, we focused on the response of male zebra finches (Taeniopygia guttata) to female calls. We tested to see if the current social context surrounding the hearing bird can modify a sound-induced immediate early gene (IEG) activation in the specific region of the caudomedial nidopallium (NCM), a songbird brain analogous to the superficial layers of the mammalian primary auditory cortex. Our results show that the expression of the sound-induced immediate early gene ZENK in the NCM is considerably enhanced when the hearing bird is in the presence of conspecifics, compared to when he is alone. This context-dependent increase of a sound-induced immediate early gene expression can be correlated with the differential behavioural response of males to the playback of the same acoustic stimulus as a function of social context.
