Attachment in Rural Sri Lanka: The Shape of Caregiver Sensitivity, Communication, and Autonomy

Field: Psychology (Social Sciences)

The goals of attachment theory are, in some key ways, very close to my own as a researcher and psychological anthropologist. Attachment theory, as established within developmental psychology, seeks to identify the kinds of care that human infants need and to understand how the provision of that care shapes people over their life course. Psychological anthropologists like myself also take seriously the question of what capacities, inclinations, and needs human infants share. As John Bowlby did in his original formulations of attachment theory, we too assume that these pan-species characteristics have been arrived at through processes of natural selection and adaptation. We recognize that key among these characteristics are the relatively long period of utter dependency on others and the mental plasticity of human infants, features of human development that lead to deep shaping through early social interaction.1 Most importantly, we too look to the patterns of behavior, personnel, and emotion in these early interactions to see how it is that people are formed.
High‐temperature ceramic adhesives

Field: Materials Science (Physical Sciences)

Abstract This paper describes the preparation, application, maturing, and fired properties of ceramic adhesives. The great majority of ceramic adhesives are based on a glass‐type bond similar to that found in porcelain enamels and ceramic coatings. Using a frit as the basic constituent, the adhesives are applied to clean metal surfaces and fired to produce the bond. The adhesives resulting from this process retain a useful strength at temperatures of 1000°F. or higher. A process for combining ceramic adhesives and brazing alloys is also described. This combination has produced joints superior in strength to straight ceramic adhesives and comparable in strength to standard brazed specimens.
Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome: Clinical Correlation with Biochemical Status

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

Objective: To find out the correlation between various biochemical and clinical features of polycystic ovarian syndrome and to determine the best hormonal marker for the same. Material and Methods: The study included 100 patients of polycystic ovary syndrome (50 married & 50 unmarried) and a control group comprising of 50 women (25 married & 25 unmarried) in the age group of 18 - 30 years. The pregnant females and those having hyperandrogenism due to any other endocrine disorders were excluded. Results: Mean age was 27.66 years in the married study group and 25.46 years in the unmarried study group. About 71% of patients had oligomenorrhea. It significantly correlated with raised LH:FSH ratio and raised total testosterone levels. Body mass index was raised (>25 kg/m2) in 66.7% married and 72.66% unmarried patients in study group and in 22% in control group. 95% of the patients in the study group and 4% in the control group were detected to have polycystic ovaries on ultrasonography. 62% of the patients had raised LH levels; total testosterone was elevated in 57.7%. The LH:FSH ratio was raised in 41% in study group patients more in the unmarried group 56% than in married group 26%. 20% of patients in the control group had an elevated LH:FSH ratio. Total testosterone level was elevated in 60% of our patients. None of the patient in the control group had elevated testosterone levels. About 31% of the patients in study group were hirsute. Conclusion: Hormonal values correlate well with polycystic ovarian syndrome and serum total testosterone served as the best hormonal marker for such patients.
Carotid Baroreflex Responsiveness in Patients with Heart Failure with a Preserved Ejection Fraction

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

The carotid baroreflex (CBR) plays an important role in blood pressure regulation by modulating heart rate (HR) and vasomotor tone. In humans, CBR function can be investigated non‐invasively using the variable pressure neck collar, which alters carotid sinus transmural pressure through application of positive and negative pressure within the neck chamber. Using this technique, derangements in CBR function have been identified in a variety of patient populations, but whether patients with heart failure with a preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) suffer from disease‐related changes in CBR responsiveness has yet to be determined. We evaluated beat‐to‐beat changes in HR and mean arterial pressure (MAP) in response to 5‐sec pulses of neck pressure (NP, +40 Torr) and neck suction (NS, ‐80 Torr) to simulate carotid hypotension and hypertension, respectively in 5 patients with HFpEF (69±3 yrs and BMI: 38±4) and 4 healthy, older controls (68±2 yrs and BMI: 26±3). Resting HR was lower in patients with HFpEF compared to control subjects (77±7 vs. 68±6 bpm, respectively; p<0.005), while MAP was similar between groups (88±2 vs. 88±5mmHg, HFpEF vs controls). Following NP, a disease‐related decrement in CBR responsiveness was evident, with diminished changes in HR (2±1 vs 9±1 bpm, HFpEF vs controls, p=0.041) and MAP (4±2 vs 8±1 mmHg, p=0.095) in the HFpEF group. Similarly, changes in both HR (‐6±1 vs ‐8±1 bpm, HFpEF vs controls, p=0.21) and MAP (‐5±1 vs ‐8±1 mmHg, HFpEF vs controls, p=0.16) in response to carotid hypertension provoked by NS were reduced in patient with HFpEF. Though preliminary in nature, these initial findings appear to indicate a decline in carotid baroreflex‐mediated cardiac and vasomotor control in patients with HFpEF that is likely to contribute significantly to autonomic nervous system dysregulation in this patient group.
The Internationalisation of a Chinese University: A Case Study

Field: Social Sciences (Social Sciences)

The internationalisation of higher education is a global phenomenon. In China, both the government and the universities have been moving rapidly towards internationalisation. This thesis investigated the internationalisation of a university in northwestern China using a grounded theory approach. Research questions involved the perceptions of university faculty members on government policies and internationalisation initiatives as well as their understandings of internationalisation processes in the University. A Cyclical Change Model was devised upon Lewin’s (1947) Three Step Model of change. The combination of Cyclical Change Model and Knight’s (1994) six phase Cycle of Internationalisation was employed as the framework of this investigation. Participants from different schools and various positions in the University were selected for interview. National, provincial and university documents were collected and analysed for data triangulation. Findings of the research indicate that the University is still at the beginning of internationalisation. The government as the ultimate funding source and policy-maker directed the course of internationalisation. Different levels of the University demonstrated different understandings of internationalisation. Organisational changes were identified as key approaches to internationalisation. Nevertheless, the University lacks certain essential features of internationalisation, staff members with international experience and international students. Further, due to the administrative procedures and organisational weaknesses the University has not produced a comprehensive strategic plan for internationalisation. The competition from other universities for qualified and experienced staff with international qualifications and experience has led to a number of highly qualified staff moving to more attractive settings. Findings suggest that university internationalisation would be more effective if staff perspectives and priorities were considered in the development of focused internationalisation strategies. The importance of an effective administrative communication channel to keep different levels of the University aligned on internationalisation policies and initiatives is considered essential.

Exploring Teachers’ Perspectives on the Role of Artificial Intelligence in Enhancing Vocabulary Proficiency among Moroccan EFL Students

Field: Arts and Humanities (Social Sciences)

The integration of learning and artificial intelligence has garnered growing interest recently. Drawing on EFL teachers’ perspectives, this study explores the emerging role of AI tools in vocabulary development. An explanatory sequential design of mixed methods research was utilized, comprising an online questionnaire disseminated to 97 high school and middle school teachers as well as conducting 10 follow-up interviews to gain a deeper qualitative understanding. Data obtained from the questionnaire were statistically analysed through SPSS and Excel, while thematic analysis following Braun and Clarke (2006) model was conducted for the qualitative data gathered from the interviews. Considering both types of data, the findings reveal that Moroccan teachers utilize AI as an integral part of their vocabulary instruction, notably in the process of preparing and implementing vocabulary tasks. Findings also indicate that teachers rely on AI to generate textual material and printed content such as texts and dialogues. The evidence obtained also points to the conclusion that teachers embrace AI with optimism as they show positive perspectives. In light of the results, some pedagogical implications are explored.
The intestinal microflora of farmed Dover sole ( Solea solea ) at different stages of fish development

Field: Immunology and Microbiology (Life Sciences)

The bacterial flora in the intestines of farmed Dover sole ( Solea solea L.) was investigated at different stages of fish development in relation to different diets fed under farming conditions. The flora of water and diets were also analyzed. The dominant generic group isolated from all water samples examined was Pseudomonas Gp IV/ Alcaligenes. The same generic group was dominant in homogenized pelagic larvae indicating a relationship between the microflora of those young fish and that of tank water. In older fish a steady increase in the percentage incidence of Vibrio / anaerogenic Aeromonas was observed in the intestines as fish grew and diets changed. The Vibrio /anaerogenic Aeromonas group was dominant in Lumbricillus rivalis used as an intermediate diet and the increased incidence of this group in fish intestines occurred after fish were fed this diet. The composite pellet used for ongrowing carried a high percentage of Gram positive micro‐organisms and there was no relationship between the pellet microflora and that found in the fish intestines.
SH1075794.09FU

Field: Agricultural and Biological Sciences (Life Sciences)

UNITE provides a unified way for delimiting, identifying, communicating, and working with DNA-based Species Hypotheses (SH). All fungal ITS sequences in the international nucleotide sequence databases are clustered to approximately the species level by applying a set of dynamic distance values (<0.5 - 3.0%). All species hypotheses are given a unique, stable name in the form of a DOI, and their taxonomic and ecological annotations are verified through distributed, web-based third-party annotation efforts. SHs are connected to a taxon name and its classification as far as possible (phylum, class, order, etc.) by taking into account identifications for all sequences in the SH. An automatically or manually designated sequence is chosen to represent each such SH. These sequences are released (https://unite.ut.ee/repository.php) for use by the scientific community in, for example, local sequence similarity searches and next-generation sequencing analysis pipelines. The system and the data are updated automatically as the number of public fungal ITS sequences grows.
Peer Review #2 of "Using high-throughput sequencing of ITS2 to describe Symbiodinium metacommunities in St. John, US Virgin Islands (v0.1)"

Field: Agricultural and Biological Sciences (Life Sciences)

Symbiotic microalgae (Symbiodinium spp.) strongly influence the performance and stresstolerance of their coral hosts, making the analysis of Symbiodinium communities in corals (and metacommunities on reefs) advantageous for many aspects of coral reef research.High-throughput sequencing of ITS2 nrDNA offers unprecedented scale in describing these communities, yet high intragenomic variability at this locus complicates the resolution of biologically meaningful diversity.Here, we demonstrate that generating operational taxonomic units by clustering ITS2 sequences at 97% similarity within, but not across, samples collapses sequence diversity that is more likely to be intragenomic, while preserving diversity that is more likely interspecific.We utilize this 'within-sample clustering' to analyze Symbiodinium from ten host taxa on shallow reefs on the north and south shores of St. John, US Virgin Islands.While Symbiodinium communities did not differ between shores, metacommunity network analysis of host-symbiont associations revealed Symbiodinium lineages occupying 'dominant' and 'background' niches, and coral hosts that are more 'flexible' or 'specific' in their associations with Symbiodinium.These methods shed new light on important questions in coral symbiosis ecology, and demonstrate how application-specific bioinformatic pipelines can improve the analysis of metabarcoding data in microbial metacommunity studies.
Complementary Ramsey numbers and Ramsey graphs

Field: Mathematics (Physical Sciences)

In this paper, we consider a variant of Ramsey numbers which we call complementary Ramsey numbers $\bar{R}(m,t,s)$. We first establish their connections to pairs of Ramsey $(s,t)$-graphs. Using the classification of Ramsey $(s,t)$-graphs for small $s,t$, we determine the complementary Ramsey numbers $\bar{R}(m,t,s)$ for $(s,t)=(4,4)$ and $(3,6)$.
The Brazilian currency crisis of 1999

Field: Economics, Econometrics and Finance (Social Sciences)

In 1994, Brazil launched the Plano Real, its first successful plan to reduce the sky‐high inflation that blighted the country in the 1980s and early 1990s. The anchor of the Plano Real in fighting inflation was the quasi‐fixed exchange rate regime, and the plan was able to curb inflation from 2,477 percent in 1993 to 5.2 percent in 1997. However, in the aftermath of the Russian default of mid‐1998, international investors feared that Brazil might be next and started pulling their money out of the country. This has led to a sharp decrease in the country's currency reserves and ultimately to a speculative attack against the Brazilian Real. On January 15, 1999, the government stopped defending the currency and on January 18 it announced the free float of the Brazilian Real. The Real dropped more than 60 percent in the first month. The currency crisis also spread through Argentina and other Mercosur countries. With a US$40 billion rescue package from the International Monetary Fund and the adoption of the free‐floating currency regime, the real effects of the currency crisis were limited to a few banks and firms that had unhedged short exposures to the dollar, and Brazil was able to recover its economic growth along 1999, putting away the fears of a deep recession and growing its GDP by 0.3 percent in that year.
Circular RNAs hsa_circ_0001438 and hsa_circ_0000417 are downregulated and upregulated, respectively, in hepatocellular carcinoma

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

Abstract Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is the most predominant type of liver cancer and is frequently fatal. Alpha‐fetoprotein, alpha‐fetoprotein‐L3, and protein induced by vitamin K absence or antagonist‐II are used as biomarkers to diagnose HCC. However, these biomarkers are not highly specific, especially for early‐stage HCC diagnosis; therefore, more specific biomarkers are needed. Recently, circular RNA (circRNA) biomarkers have been used to diagnose several intractable diseases. In this study, we sought to identify circRNA biomarkers for the specific diagnosis of HCC. To this end, we compared the expression levels of circRNAs in primary HCC and normal tissues using publicly available RNA‐seq data. Our analysis revealed that the expression levels of eight circRNAs were altered in primary HCC tissues compared with normal tissues. To confirm our findings, we examined the expression levels of selected circRNAs in HCC cell lines and normal hepatocytes. The expression level of hsa_circ_0001438, a circRNA that was downregulated in primary HCC, was lower in poorly and well‐differentiated HCC cell lines than in normal hepatocytes. By contrast, the expression level of hsa_circ_0000417, which was increased in primary HCC, was strongly upregulated in a well‐differentiated HCC cell line compared with normal hepatocytes. Thus, hsa_circ_0001438 and hsa_circ_0000417 might be potential biomarkers for the specific diagnosis of HCC. The experimental strategy described here, using publicly available RNA‐seq data, is a useful and cost‐effective method of identifying circRNA biomarkers.
Androgen receptors and growth fraction in metastatic prostate cancer as predictors of time to tumour progression after hormonal therapy.

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

Reliable predictors of response for prostate cancer patients undergoing hormone therapy are lacking. Since 80-90% of such patients do respond but the time between therapy and relapse (progression) is variable, our goal has been to predict the time to tumour progression after therapy rather than merely to predict whether a patient would respond. We investigated AR positivity and Ki-67 growth fraction of malignant epithelial cells as potential predictors of the time to progression; these studies are summarized in this chapter. The percentage of AR positive nuclei has no predictive value; however, the variance of AR immunostaining intensity within a certain specimen is an important discriminator between good responders (patients with a prolonged interval between initiation of therapy and relapse) and poor responders (short time to relapse). There is a trend towards a higher growth fraction in poor responders, but statistical significance is borderline at best. Growth fraction measurement might be more useful as a predictor if the rate of cell death could also be evaluated or if analysis could be limited to the androgen independent cells that continue to proliferate after hormone therapy and that ultimately are responsible for the clinical manifestation of tumour progression and relapse.
Beyond online preprints: formalization of open initiatives in China

Field: Social Sciences (Social Sciences)

ABSTRACT A growing number of online journals and academic platforms are adopting light peer review or ‘publish then filter’ models of scholarly communication. These approaches have the advantage of enabling instant exchanges of knowledge between academics and are part of a wider search for alternatives to traditional peer review and certification processes in scholarly publishing. However, establishing credibility and identifying the correct balance between communication and scholarly rigour remains an important challenge for digital communication platforms targeting academic communities. This paper looks at a highly influential, government‐backed, open publishing platform in China: Science Paper Online, which is using transparent post‐publication peer‐review processes to encourage innovation and address systemic problems in China's traditional academic publishing system. There can be little doubt that the Chinese academic publishing landscape differs in important ways from counterparts in the United States and Western Europe. However, this article suggests that developments in China also provide important lessons about the potential of digital technology and government policy to facilitate a large‐scale shift towards more open and networked models of scholarly communication.

Financial Policy of Innovation Development Providing: The Impact Formalization

Field: Economics, Econometrics and Finance (Social Sciences)

This paper deals with the study of the world and European rankings for innovative development. It is emphasized that Ukraine ranks quite low compared to other countries and even its own last year’s results. The dynamics of Ukraine’s position in the Global Innovation Index is presented for the period from 2009 to 2019. The paper focuses on the tendency that innovation activity and the high level of its financial support are concentrated mainly in individual countries and regions. In this regard, the relevance of the determining factors/indicators of the greatest influence and the reasons for the unsatisfactory state of innovation development in Ukraine is substantiated. The purpose of the study is to substantiate and formalize the impact of fiscal policy indicators to ensure innovative development on the overall level of innovative development. In addition, attention is paid to the functional relationship between the level of competitiveness and innovation capacity, a significant positive relationship between the indicators of the country’s innovation capacity and the dynamism of business and financial system, and so on. Methodical tools are methods of correlation and regression analysis. As a result, some hypotheses have been confirmed, not confirmed or partially confirmed. The study empirically confirms and theoretically proves that the percentage of Gross Domestic Expenditure on Research and Development (GERD) in GDP, the share of Gross Domestic Expenditure on Research and Development (GERD) represented by the business sector and the share of Gross Domestic Expenditure on Research and Development (GERD) financed by business, the volume of domestic credit to the private sector and ease of regulation/resolution of insolvency – these indicators have a direct (positive), strong dependence and significance of correlation with the general level of innovative development. Keywords: methods of correlation and regression analysis, financial policy, financial support, financial support, functional dependence, innovative development, innovation index, level of innovation, innovation rating.
