Examining Teamwork of Space Crewmembers and Mission Control Personnel Under Crew Autonomy: A Multiteam System Perspective

Field: Psychology (Social Sciences)

Introducing crew autonomy into the design of future space operations will involve a change in how responsibilities are distributed between crew and mission control and may disrupt the functioning of the space/ground multiteam system (MTS). During a 4-month space mission simulation we collected survey data from crewmembers and mission controllers tapping their team concept, perception of MTS cohesion and efficacy, task work and performance. Preliminary analyses indicate some aspects of team cognition that may be affected by crew autonomy. Crewmembers’ and mission controllers’ team concepts centered on members of their own component teams rather than the MTS. Mission controllers perceived higher cohesion— especially higher task cohesion—with crewmembers than vice-versa and were more likely than crewmembers to express high confidence in the efficacy of the MTS. While mission controllers and crewmembers expressed comparable levels of satisfaction with task performance, they disagreed on how much each component team contributed to task success.
EVALUATION OF ANTI QUOROM SENSING ACTIVITIES USING Emblica officinalis ETHANOLIC LEAF EXTRACTS AGAINST MARINE MICROBES

Field: Immunology and Microbiology (Life Sciences)

Biofilm formation in pathogenic bacteria displays a major role in various human infectious diseases posing a major health problem in several countries. Biofilms contain colony of bacteria which are 1,000 folds more resistant to antibiotics and also they develop more insensitivity to innate and acquired immune responses. Quorum sensing (QS) is characterized well due to the interaction of bacterial cells, which is a dependent mechanism and acts its stimulus response related to population density. In the present study we tested the antiquorum sensing activity with leaf extracts of commonly used dietary supplement Emblica Officinalis (Amla) against marine microbes. In our method, we cultured Klebsilla, Proteus, E.coli, Shigella, Salmonella typhi from marine water source for quorum sensing activities and inhibitory effects through antimicrobial activities. Marine bacteria were isolated, identified based on physical and biochemical characterization. In our results we investigated the inhibitory effects of amla against pathogenic bacteria using swarming method. Further highest inhibitory bacterial isolates were examined under scanning electron microscopy (SEM). We conclude that amla exhibits potential inhibitory effects in biofilms formation from samples obtained from marine waters and further studies are needed in QS gene expression in more number of marine microbial samples.
Gaeltacht Thuaisceart an Oileáin Úir: post-territorial Irishness and Canadian multiculturalism

Field: Social Sciences (Social Sciences)

In 2007 a remarkable development for the Irish language outside of Ireland took place. A dedicated space for speaking and learning the language was established in Ontario, Canada, now known as Gaeltacht Thuaisceart an Oileáin Úir. While the adoption of the term ‘Gaeltacht’ may be controversial in an allochthonous context, this site is sustained by a diasporic community that endeavours to preserve an Irish cultural identity through learning and speaking the language. This paper presents the results of fieldwork conducted among Irish-language learners in Canada who have invested time and resources to establish a permanent space for the language. Data retrieved through an online survey reveal that the language serves as a vehicle for those wishing to maintain or connect with an Irish cultural identity, as well as for those outside of the diaspora who learn the language for other social, professional or educational purposes. Notably, such narratives are perfectly at ease within a modern, multicultural Canada.
Caring for the dying: critical issues at the edge of life

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

Since 1997, when Oregon enacted a law permitting physician-assisted suicide, the public debate over end-of-life issues has turned in a new direction. A major response to this law has been increased attention to providing support for the dying in ways that lessen the felt need for assisted suicide. The result has been renewed emphasis on hospice, palliative care, and the spiritual needs of the dying, as well as on advanced directives to settle legal matters. These are the four critical issues addressed by leading experts in this outstanding collection of recent articles on this controversial topic. An underlying theme of all the contributions is that end-of-life needs vary for each individual. Awareness of this fact is crucial both for the dying and for their caregivers. The essays in this collection will help readers recognise and prepare for difficult end-of-life decisions.
What would make them read more? Insights from Western Australian adolescents

Field: Social Sciences (Social Sciences)

The link between recreational book reading and improved literacy performance is consistently supported by educational research. Increasing engagement in recreational book reading remains imperative for English teachers, though how to best facilitate this in a secondary context is an object of contention, with limited research in this field. The West Australian Study in Adolescent Book Reading explored attitudes and engagement in recreational book reading. Student responses provide valuable insight directly from the target group that can help to shape best practice for adolescent literacy educators. Findings are presented around six key themes, and include strategies for choice, access to attractive and diverse books, time availability, time allocation, concentration and encouragement.
Authorization of Textbooks for the Schools of Ontario 1846–1950

Field: Arts and Humanities (Social Sciences)

The textbook has long been the most popular instrument of instruction in the hands of educators. Its wide-spread use has at the same time provided one of the most controversial issues in education, for it has been regarded both as the cause of educational problems, and as their solution. The purpose of this book is to investigate the changing policies which have affected the authorization of textbooks for elementary schools. Since Ontario sets precedents for the other provinces, it deals with tests in Ontario, from 1846 when the practice of authorization began, to 1950, when the system of authorizing a single text for each subject was terminated. It is concerned chiefly with the policies of the Ontario Department of Education which directed and controlled the selection, preparation, and authorization of textbooks. Between 1846 and 1950 texts for the elementary schools of the province were regulated by legislation which changed remarkably little.

Empirical or critical Communication research?

Field: Social Sciences (Social Sciences)

SUMMARY This article reviews, in the form of a literature survey, the two dominant approaches to communications research: Empirical communication research, which originated in the U.S.A., has a quantitative, objective and functional approach. Research concentrates on the possibilities of the media and media effects. The Critical School has a much wider scope than the Empirical School. It is holistic, qualitative and subjective. To the critical researcher it is vital to include a theory of society and the media is seen as a means of maintaining the status quo. Both the approaches have been formed by the political/social/cultural environment in which they evolved. The main criticism against the empirical approach is that it is inadequately equipped to deal with the deeper and more important issues arising out of communication. The article concludes with a brief look at the South African scene which provides an ideal situation for producting a hybrid variant of both schools.
Spatial, sectoral and temporal trends in A8 migration to the UK 2004-2011 Evidence from the Worker Registration Scheme

Field: Social Sciences (Social Sciences)

Since the enlargement of the European Union on 1st May 2004, large numbers of migrants from the A8 countries (Poland, Czech Republic, Latvia, Lithuania, Slovakia, Slovenia, Hungary and Estonia) have joined the UK labour market and East-Central Europe has become one of the principal source regions of migrants to Britain. Nationals from these states now constitute some of the largest foreign-born populations in the country. As part of the transitional arrangements following accession, A8 migrants were required to register under the Worker Registration Scheme (WRS) if they took up employment in the UK for one month or longer. The WRS operated between May 2004 and April 2011. <br/><br/>The WRS represents a uniquely detailed source of information on East-Central European labour migration to the UK in terms of the employment taken up by A8 migrants immediately after arrival in the UK. The research presented here analysed administrative data from the WRS in order to shed light on spatial, sectoral and temporal trends in registration flows. The findings in this report can help inform understanding of migration patterns, and responses to them, at the national and local government levels.<br/><br/>The volume of labour migration flows from East-Central Europe has been substantial, with 1,133,950 registrations recorded over the lifetime of the WRS (May 2004 – April 2011). These flows have been concentrated in particular segments of the labour market, with most A8 migrants engaging with the hospitality and agricultural sectors and often working through recruitment agencies as opposed to directly for employers. The volume of new arrivals from the A8 countries has decreased since the onset of the recession in 2008 but still remained substantial at the end of the WRS period. The demand for migrant labour has been relatively consistent in agriculture compared to other sectors of the economy during the recession, suggesting that employers in this sector may still require overseas workers as they struggle to source labour regardless of prevailing labour market conditions. In other sectors the requirement for overseas workers had receded to a large extent by 2011. Conceptually this points to A8 migrant labour serving distinct ‘functions’ in the UK labour market.
Study of the dissolution of chalcopyrite in solutions of different ammonium salts

Field: Chemistry (Physical Sciences)

41BC6=D= The oxidative leaching of chalcopyrite in ammoniacal solutions has been evaluated using electro-analytical techniques and controlled bulk leaching studies. The anodic dissolution process has been established to be a sevenelectron transfer process under nitrogen in ammonia–ammonium sulphate solutions and ammonia–ammonium carbonate solutions, which suggests that the sulphur is oxidized to thiosulphate and the copper and iron released as Cu + and Fe2+ in these systems. The deportment of Fe2+ and S 2O3 2- is affected by choice of the ammonium salt used in the leaching process. In the perchlorate salt, only five electrons are transferred, supporting formation of different sulphur species as proposed for the sulphate and carbonate salts. Scanning electron microscopy and energydispersive spectroscopic analysis of the mineral surface after leaching indicate presence of an iron–sulphur surface layer completely free of copper in the sulphate system, an iron-rich surface layer in the perchlorate solutions, and absence of surface layer build-up in carbonate solutions. XRD analysis of a bulk leach residue from leaching in ammoniaammonium sulphate solutions showed the surface layer to be mostly amorphous (90%). The crystalline content (10%) is composed of 95% polymorphs of anhydrous iron oxide hydroxide FeO(OH). Choice of ammonium salt and the hydrodynamic environment of leaching have been shown to influence the presence or absence of the surface product, as well as its nature.

Influenza-Like Symptom Prediction by Analyzing Self-Reported Health Status and Human Mobility Behaviors

Field: Computer Science (Physical Sciences)

Human mobility behaviors are of great importance to predict influenza-like symptoms. However, most existing studies focus on analyzing population-level outcomes instead of individual-level. One challenge for individual-level influenza symptom prediction is a shortage of a sufficiently large dataset that contains individual health status as well as the mobility behavior information at the same time. Besides, the quality of the collected data is not high enough, due to the carelessness and low variation of reporting behaviors. Also, the number of individuals with influenza symptom onset is much smaller than that of ones without symptoms, i.e., the imbalanced data problem. These challenges further increase the difficulty of accurately predicting influenza-like symptoms. To address these challenges, in this paper, we propose a novel and powerful selective ensemble support vector machines (SESVM). The proposed SESVM can select the best basic SVM classifier by running on the randomly split sub training sets, which consist of the positive samples and the split negative ones. By randomly splitting the dataset multiple times, we can obtain many predictions by each best basic SVM classifier. SESVM finally aggregates all the predictions together to produce the final results. We conduct Experiments on a new longitudinal individual self-reported weekly survey dataset with mobility behaviors, and the results show that the proposed SESVM outperforms all the existing approaches for the influenza symptom prediction task.
[Problems of differential diagnosis of orbital granulation].

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

Three cases of orbital tumours caused by granulation are presented. They required advanced differential diagnosis between sarcoidosis, tuberculosis and Wegener's granulomatosis. Each of the patients had an orbitotomy according to Krönlein performed. All were cured. Because of vague results of the histopathological examinations, immunological tests such as: indirect immunofluorescence, direct immunofluorescence and immunodiffusion were performed and cANCA levels were evaluated in order to establish the final diagnoses.
Science, Religion, and Mormon Cosmology

Field: Arts and Humanities (Social Sciences)

If cosmology connotes an understanding of the structure of both a physical and a transcendent universe, contends Erich Robert Paul, it is virtually impossible to understand Mormonism outside the dimensions of cosmological thinking. This unique study examines how Mormonism shaped its cosmic vision by using and developing cosmological ideas, and what this process says about science, religion, and Mormonism itself.
Abstract 14672: Regulation of Succinate Signaling and Immunometabolism in Diabetes-Associated Atherosclerosis by Microrna-369-3p

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

Introduction: The risk of atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD) is increased in people with diabetes. Diabetes (D) is associated with impaired metabolism and functionality of macrophages (Mps), resulting in chronic inflammation. Identifying factors to combat metabolic alterations and promote resolution of inflammation remains an unmet goal. microRNAs (miRs) orchestrate multiple signaling events in Mps and regulate inflammation. Hypothesis: miR-369-3p regulates metabolic reprogramming in Mps during diabetes-associated atherosclerosis (D-AS). Methods and Results: miRNA-seq profiling from aortic intimal lesions of LDLR-/- mice on a high-fat sucrose containing (HFSC) diet revealed miR-369-3p downregulation with D-AS progression. miR-369-3p was also downregulated in PBMCs derived from D and D-associated ASCVD patients. Cell-type profiling showed miR-369-3p enrichment in mouse bone marrow derived Mps (BMDMs). oxLDL-stimulated BMDMs (foam cells, FCs) resulted in marked downregulation of miR-369-3p, increased secretion of IL1-β, and metabolic shift of oxidative phosphorylation (OXPHOS) to glycolysis, while miR-369-3p overexpression (miR-369-3p O/E) favored OXPHOS over glycolysis and reduced IL1-β secretion. Metabolomics revealed succinate, a key immunometabolite was profoundly elevated extracellularly from FCs, while miR-369-3p O/E reversed this phenotype. Extracellular succinate activates its receptor, GPR91. Indeed, GPR91 was upregulated in FCs while miR-369-3p O/E significantly repressed GPR91. 3’UTR luciferase reporter assay confirmed GPR91 as a miR-369-3p target. miR-369-3p O/E dampened GPR91-mediated inflammasome activation and mitochondrial dysfunction in FCs by decreasing p-ERK, p-DRP1, and NLRP3. Therapeutic delivery of miR-369-3p in LDLR-/- mice fed HFSC diet for 12 weeks reduced plaque size by ORO staining and plasma IL1-β. Flow cytometry of aortic Mps revealed that miR-369-3p decreased GPR91 expression by ~50%, along with a decrease in M1 and increase in M2-like-Mps. Conclusions: miR-369-3p confers a pro-resolving role in regulating lipid-driven inflammation and metabolic rewiring in Mps via targeting GPR91 and preventing D-AS plaque progression.
Industrial applications of IEEE 802.11e WLANs

Field: Engineering (Physical Sciences)

Nowadays, wireless communication technologies are being employed in an ever increasing number of different application areas, including industrial environments. Unfortunately, because of several reasons, among which their random access technique, they are not usually considered suitable for connecting devices at the field level. In this paper, the performance that can be achieved by QoS-enabled WLANs (e.g., IEEE 802.11e networks) to support communication in industrial environments is analysed in depth. In particular, it is shown that they can be profitably adopted even at the shop-floor, provided that there are not critical safety requirements or tight timing constraints. Despite the lower determinism and reliability, the resulting performance resembles closely that achievable with fieldbuses.
Influence of Physical Activity on Microcirculatory Changes in Healthy Pregnant Women

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

In pregnancy physical activity is considered as a preventive measure for diseases of the cardiovascular system. In studies, the data on microvascular adaptation in pregnancy are scarce. The prenatal program included 35 pregnant women who exercised and 35 women who did not. The shape of the capillaries of the nail skin fold was analyzed with capillaroscopy. At the beginning of the study, the shape of the capillary was normal in all pregnant women. After 8 weeks in 40.91% of pregnant women who exercised and in 47.06% of pregnant women who did not exercise, the shape of the capillary loop was abnormal with bending of the limbs, tortuosity of the limbs, and crossing of the limbs. After the 8th week of the prenatal program, no significant difference in the shape of the capillary loop of the nail skin fold was found between pregnant women who performed prenatal exercises and pregnant women who did not.
DOI: 10.2298/AVB1206599K UDK 597.555.3:544.354-128.4:612.616. THE EFFECT OF CATIONS ON SPERM MOTILITY PERFORMANCE AND FERTILIZING ABILITY

Field: Veterinary (Health Sciences)

The objective of the study was to investigate the effect of saline solution containing cations (Na+, K+, Ca+2, Mg+2) on sperm motility performance (duration of sperm motility and percentage of motile spermatozoa) and fertilizing capacity of sperm (fertilization rate, hatching rate, larvae length during hatching, larvae length during active feeding and survival rate) in silver carp. The results suggested that solutions containing ions did not improve the duration of sperm motility. The same was observed for the percentage of motile spermatozoa. Fertilization rate influenced by solutions containing Ca+2, and other ions could not affect this parameter. The results showed that hatching rate was higher in solutions containing 99 mEq/L NaCl, 2 mEq/L MgCl2 and 2, 4 mEq/L CaCl2 respectively. Also, survival rate was higher in the solution containing 2 mEq/L MgCl2 and 36 mg/dL KCl respectively. With regard to the obtained results, it was concluded that using appropriate activation medium can improve quality of fish sperm and subsequently increases artificial reproduction performance.
