Comparing national policies on institutional profiling in Germany and the Netherlands

Field: Social Sciences (Social Sciences)

The concepts of differentiation and profiling are cornerstones in discussions about the organisation of contemporary higher education systems, following the trends of massification and global competition. This contribution provides a system-level description and comparison of the German and Dutch higher education systems regarding these topics, and points to possible interactions and development concepts connecting differentiation, strategic profiling of universities and excellence. Though both higher education systems started from very different positions and with differing policies towards differentiation, the global trends and national aspirations for the systems, as well as individual universities in Germany and the Netherlands, are comparable. A look into the resulting ranking positions of German and Dutch universities generally shows a more successful development for the Dutch higher education institutions in the last few years – which could possibly indicate a crucial time lag in the effects of differentiation policies in higher education as the German excellence and differentiation efforts fundamentally took hold more than 10 years after the Dutch initiatives in this field
Responses of Gut Microbiota and Glucose and Lipid Metabolism to Prebiotics in Genetic Obese and Diet-Induced Leptin-Resistant Mice

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

OBJECTIVE—To investigate deep and comprehensive analysis of gut microbial communities and biological parameters after prebiotic administration in obese and diabetic mice. RESEARCH DESIGN ANDMETHODS—Genetic (ob/ob) or diet-induced obese and diabetic mice were chronically fed with prebiotic-enriched diet or with a control diet. Extensive gut microbiota analyses, including quantitative PCR, pyrosequencing of the 16S rRNA, and phylogenetic microarrays, were performed in ob/ob mice. The impact of gut microbiota modulation on leptin sensitivity was investigated in diet-induced leptin-resistant mice. Metabolic parameters, gene expression, glucose homeostasis, and enteroendocrine-related L-cell function were documented in both models. RESULTS—In ob/obmice, prebiotic feeding decreased Firmicutes and increased Bacteroidetes phyla, but also changed 102 distinct

Lower Valanginian ammonite biostratigraphy in the Subbetic Domain (Betic Cordillera, southeastern Spain)

Field: Earth and Planetary Sciences (Physical Sciences)

A new zonation for the lower Valanginian in the Betic Cordillera is presented. It is based on the study of 16 sections located near Caravaca and Cehegín (Region of Murcia). From bottom to top, the following interval zones, defined by the first appearance of the index-species, are distinguished: \n \n "Thurmanniceras" pertransiens Zone, which can be subdivided into two subzones, a lower "Th." pertransiens Subzone and an upper Vergoliceras salinarium Subzone. The latter is characterized by the disappearance of Olcostephanus drumensis and the appearance of Luppovella superba. \n Neocomites neocomiensiformis Zone, also with two subzones, the Baronnites hirsutus Subzone below (characterized by the appearance of "Busnardoites" subcampylotoxus and Olcostephanus guebhardi) and the Valanginites dolioliformis Subzone above ("Busnardoites" campylotoxus is restricted to this subzone). \n Karakaschiceras inostranzewi Zone, subdivided as well into two subzones, a lower Karakaschiceras inostranzewi Subzone and an upper Saynoceras contestanum Subzone. \n \nThe assemblages characterizing each of these biozones can be recognized throughout the Mediterranean region.
Clone Phylogenetics Reveals Metastatic Tumor Migrations, Maps, and Models

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

Dispersal routes of metastatic cells are not medically detected or even visible. A molecular evolutionary analysis of tumor variation provides a way to retrospectively infer metastatic migration histories and answer questions such as whether the majority of metastases are seeded from clones within primary tumors or seeded from clones within pre-existing metastases, as well as whether the evolution of metastases is generally consistent with any proposed models. We seek answers to these fundamental questions through a systematic patient-centric retrospective analysis that maps the dynamic evolutionary history of tumor cell migrations in many cancers. We analyzed tumor genetic heterogeneity in 51 cancer patients and found that most metastatic migration histories were best described by a hybrid of models of metastatic tumor evolution. Synthesizing across metastatic migration histories, we found new tumor seedings arising from clones of pre-existing metastases as often as they arose from clones from primary tumors. There were also many clone exchanges between the source and recipient tumors. Therefore, a molecular phylogenetic analysis of tumor variation provides a retrospective glimpse into general patterns of metastatic migration histories in cancer patients.
Making Processed White Bread Products into Healthy Snacks in the Tahfidzul Qur'an Amanah Middle School Environment

Field: Health Professions (Health Sciences)

Snacks play an important role in providing energy and other nutritional intake for school-aged children. Children's consumption of snacks is expected to contribute energy and other nutrients that are useful for children's growth. Bread is a food that is popular with people because it has a simple shape, so it is often chosen as a breakfast food before starting daily activities or as a snack to fill the stomach before the actual meal time arrives. Community service activities are carried out at Tahfidzul Qur'an Amanah Middle School in Sei Mencirim, Deli Serdang Regency. The aim is to increase students' understanding of the importance of healthy snacks and the potential dangers of additives contained in processed foods. This activity was carried out on December 7, 2023, including a pre-test to assess students' knowledge about healthy snacks, a comprehensive educational session about the importance of a healthy diet and the dangers of additives, as well as a post-test to evaluate the effectiveness of the intervention. Apart from that, practical demonstrations were carried out on how to turn bread into healthier snacks, especially chocolate rolls. The results of the pre-test and post-test show a significant increase in students' understanding of healthy snacks. The success of this activity shows the potential of similar interventions in promoting health education and better eating habits among school students.
'IamHeathcliff ': Lockwood's Role inWuthering Heights

Field: Arts and Humanities (Social Sciences)

Lockwood, the outer frame narrator of Wuthering Heights, is commonly thought to be a priggish, sentimental, effete London dandy, incapable of comprehending the unearthly passion of his diametrical opposite, Heathcliff. Throughout the novel, Lockwood fails to understand the full significance of the story he witnesses and learns of from Nelly Dean. Although this view has merit, I would like to argue that it is only partially correct. Lockwood is more than Heathcliff 's Other; he is also his double, an alterego who parallels Heathcliff 's experience as he negates it. And just as Heathcliff evolves towards fulfilment, so, too, does Lockwood. The improbable but ineluctable harmony of these opposite but resonant characters lies at the heart of Emily Brontë's vision, not only of character, setting, plot, theme and narrative, but of life itself.
Directional Pre-verbal Particles in Hakha Lai

Field: Arts and Humanities (Social Sciences)

Hakha Lai is mainly spoken in Hakha and Thantlang areas, and their vicinities in Chin State, Myanmar (formerly known as Burma). It is also spoken in the adjacent areas of India and Bangladesh. Lai speakers are about 100,000 people. Lai is also used extensively as a second language by speakers of other Chin languages in the Chin Hills.The data in H. Lai are transcribed in both standard orthography as well as a phonemic orthography developed and used when the first author was a consultant for a two-semesters long field method class (Fall 1997 – Spring 1998) conducted by Prof. James A. Matisoff at UC Berkeley. H. Lai has five pairs of directional pre-verbal particles which describe the “where” of the participants and the “how” of the actions involved. This paper analyzes these deictic phenomena in terms of how the interlocutors behave in relation to position, distance, and movement, their diachronic origins, and their other functions.
An implantable window system for chronic two-photon microscopy on mouse organs

Field: Neuroscience (Life Sciences)

Animal models were developed for chronic observation with using two-photon microscopy. To demonstrate potency of the models, T-cell and macrophage migration in inguinal lymph node, spleen, abdominal cavity and kidney were observed for two weeks on single mice. The image quality was maintained high enough during an observation period to count and trace cell population and migration.
Changes in disaccharide composition of heparan sulphate fractions with increasing degrees of sulphation

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

Heparan sulphate by-products from the commercial manufacture of pig mucosal heparin were freed of chondroitin sulphate and fractionated according to anionic density. The fractions were treated with HNO2 at pH 1.5, and the resulting mixtures of oligosaccharides were reduced with NaB3H4 and analysed for their disaccharide composition by paper chromatography and by high-pressure liquid chromatography. The results show that the molar ratio of 2-O-sulpho-alpha-L-iduronosylanhydromannose to 6-O-sulpho-(2-O-sulpho-alpha-L-iduronosyl)anhydromannose decreased from 2.5 to 0.04 as the degree of sulphation of the fractions increased. In contrast, the molar ratio of 6-O-sulpho-(beta-D-glucuronosyl)anhydromannose to 6-O-sulpho-(alpha-L-iduronosyl)anhydromannose was approx. 2.4 in all heparan sulphate fractions and decreased to only half of this value in the most highly sulphated heparin fractions. These results are consistent with biosynthetic studies, which have shown that the N-sulpho-(2-O-sulpho-alpha-L-iduronosyl)D-glucosamine disaccharide is the metabolic precursor of the NO-disulpho-(2-O-sulpho-alpha-L-iduronosyl)-D-glucosamine disaccharide in heparin biosynthesis. The high-pressure liquid chromatography of the heparan sulphate oligosaccharides also revealed a number of unidentified oligosaccharides in the deamination mixtures.

Taking bisphosphonates during pregnancy.

Field: Pharmacology, Toxicology and Pharmaceutics (Life Sciences)

Very little is currently known about the effects of bisphosphonates on human pregnancy. There have been only two reports of bisphosphonate use during late pregnancy. Animal studies suggest that biphosphonates cross the placenta and that the effect is an extension of the expected pharmacologic effect of bisphosphonates on both fetus and mother. Risks and benefits should be carefully weighed.
Prevalence of gastro esophageal reflux disease following the Montreal Consensus and its association with Helicobacter pylori infection and obesity in a random sample of adults of Ciudad Juarez, Mexico, 2004.

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

Gastroesophageal reflux disease is a common condition affecting 25 to 40% of the population and causes significant morbidity in the U.S., accounting for at least 9 million office visits to physicians with estimated annual costs of $10 billion. Previous research has not clearly established whether infection with Helicobacter pylori, a known cause of peptic ulcer, atrophic gastritis and non cardia adenocarcinoma of the stomach, is associated with gastroesophageal reflux disease. This study is a secondary analysis of data collected in a cross-sectional study of a random sample of adult residents of Ciudad Juarez, Mexico, that was conducted in 2004 (Prevalence and Determinants of Chronic Atrophic Gastritis Study or CAG study, Dr. Victor M. Cardenas, Principal Investigator). In this study, the presence of gastroesophageal reflux disease was based on responses to the previously validated Spanish Language Dyspepsia Questionnaire. Responses to this questionnaire indicating the presence of gastroesophageal reflux symptoms and disease were compared with the presence of H. pylori infection as measured by culture, histology and rapid urease test, and with findings of upper endoscopy (i.e., hiatus hernia and erosive and atrophic esophagitis). The prevalence ratio was calculated using bivariate, stratified and multivariate negative binomial logistic regression analyses in order to assess the relation between active H. pylori infection and the prevalence of gastroesophageal reflux typical syndrome and disease, while controlling for known risk factors of gastroesophageal reflux disease such as obesity. In a random sample of 174 adults 48 (27.6%) of the study participants had typical reflux syndrome and only 5% (or 9/174) had gastroesophageal reflux disease per se according to the Montreal consensus, which defines reflux syndromes and disease based on whether the symptoms are perceived as troublesome by the subject. There was no association between H. pylori infection and typical reflux syndrome or gastroesophageal reflux disease. However, we found that in this Northern Mexican population, there was a moderate association (Prevalence Ratio=2.5; 95% CI=1.3, 4.7) between obesity (≥30 kg/m2) and typical reflux syndrome. Management and prevention of obesity will significantly curb the growing numbers of persons affected by gastroesophageal reflux symptoms and disease in Northern Mexico.
Cognitive Impairments and Its Related Factors in People Who Injects Drugs in Iran

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

Background: One of the most common psychological problems among people who use drugs (PWUD) is cognitive impairments (CIs). Several studies show that the prevalence of cognitive impairments in PWUD is higher than in the general population. Objectives: The aim of the current study was to investigate the prevalence of CI and its related factors among people who inject drugs (PWID) in Iran. Methods: A cross-sectional study was designed among PWID in 2023. About 410 PWID were recruited using snowball and convenience sampling in four provinces in Iran. Demographic and clinical data, as well as the status of cognitive impairments, were collected using bio-behavioral and Montreal Cognitive Assessment questionnaires, respectively. We examined the relationship between all independent variables and CIs status using bivariate logistic regression. Results: The prevalence of CI among participants was 28% (95% confidence interval (CI): 22% - 32%). Behaviors associated with an increased risk of CIs included the length of injecting drug use [adjusted odds ratios (aOR) = 2.7, P = 0.01], methamphetamine use (aOR = 2.8, P < 0.05), and alcohol use (aOR = 2.8, P < 0.05). Conclusions: Methamphetamine and alcohol use were identified as the main predictors of cognitive impairments among PWID. It also seems necessary to consider new interventions in harm reduction programs to address cognitive impairments.
An Investigation of the Peasant Migrant in Chengdu

Field: Social Sciences (Social Sciences)

The authors deal with the data acquired from the questionnaire of the present situation of peasant migrants in Chengdu in July, 2000, describe preliminarily the causes and channels of migration, economic and social activities, unusual encounter and the future of the two basic groups among the peasant migrants: the peasant workers and the self employed small traders,and further point out that the essential reason for the groups marginal position and difficulty of merging into the world of urban residents lies in the consistency of rural urban dualistic society which is built up by the household registration system and other attached systems.
The Right of Publicity: Privacy Reimagined for a Public World

Field: Arts and Humanities (Social Sciences)

Jennifer Rothman argues that when the tort of a “right of privacy” first emerged in the early twentieth century, its appearance was a response to concerns that the names or likenesses of individuals could be displayed in public without their consent. With the advent of the portable camera, images of persons could be recorded and published in the form of photographs, and it was easy for photographers surreptitiously to take pictures of others. In 1899 a photographic studio commissioned to create a formal portrait of Abigail Roberson sold negatives of the portrait to the Rochester Folding Box Company, a manufacturer and distributor of flour. The company put a likeness of Abigail on an advertisement for Franklin Mills Flour. Abigail was “greatly humiliated” on learning that her picture had been used in the advertisement, claimed that she had endured the “scoffs and jeers of persons” who recognized her in the ad, and sued Rochester Folding Box for physical and emotional suffering caused by injury to her “good name.”
Proposal for the use of morphometry as a sexing method for psittacine species Amazona amazonica, Amazona aestiva , Ara chloropterus , Anodorhynchus hyacinthinus , and Ara ararauna

Field: Veterinary (Health Sciences)

Psittacides are birds characterized by a curved beak, zygodactyl feet and colorful feathers, with species varying in size and without apparent sexual dimorphism. They are among the birds most threatened with extinction, with around 31% of species in the Neotropical region in this condition. Reproduction of these birds in captivity is crucial for the maintenance and recovery of populations, with sex identification being essential in this process. Given the difficulty of differentiating between males and females, it is proposed to use external morphometry to determine sex in a population of parrots, correlating it with the measurement of five parameters: length of the culmen, tomium, depth of the beak, length of the head and cloaca opening. Sex was determined by DNA testing, where females presented two copies of genes amplified by PCR (one from each chromosome, W and Z) and males presented only one copy (Z chromosome). 40 parrot specimens of different species were used: 7 Amazona amazonica , 8 Amazona aestiva , 9 Ara chloropterus , 5 Anodorhynchus hyacinthinus , 11 Ara ararauna . Of the total, 55% (22/40) were males and 45% (18/40) were females. Among the parameters evaluated, there were no significant variances between the sexes of the species studied, with the exception of one variable vent opening of one species Ara ararauna . Additionally, the lack of information about the age range of the animals meant that some individuals showed similarities, as in the case of A. amazonica , possibly linked to the stage of development. Thus, in addition to verifying that not all species can be subjected to the morphometric technique, the development phase also interferes with its use. It is concluded that among the species studied, only Ara ararauna is possible to determine the sex by measuring the cloaca opening, which showed significant differences, with no divergence from other biometric parameters.
