Reexamination of the Role of Ubiquitin-Like Modifier ISG15 in the Phenotype of UBP43-Deficient Mice

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

UBP43/USP18 was described as a specific protease that removes conjugated ubiquitin-like modifier ISG15 from target proteins. The severe phenotype of UBP43(-/-) mice characterized by premature death, brain cell injury, and deregulated STAT1 signaling was ascribed to an enhanced conjugation of ISG15. In contrast, no phenotypic changes were detected in ISG15(-/-) mice. To verify the role of ISG15 in the phenotype of UBP43(-/-) mice, we employed mice deficient for both ISG15 and UBP43. Here, we show that the phenotype of UBP43(-/-) mice was not rescued by the absence of ISG15, as evident from unchanged mortality, neurological symptoms, and occurrence of hydrocephalus. Also, the reported hypersensitivity of UBP43(-/-) mice to an interferon inducer, poly(I . C), was ISG15 independent. Furthermore, no evidence for a role of ISG15 in the modulation of STAT1 signaling or in the resistance against lymphocytic choriomeningitis virus and vesicular stomatitis virus was found. Presented results clearly demonstrate that the phenotypic alterations of UBP43(-/-) mice are not caused by the lack of ISG15 deconjugation and must be due to another, non-ISG15-mediated molecular mechanism.
Developing a Scale for Community Resilience: A Communication Approach

Field: Social Sciences (Social Sciences)

Although communication is an important factor constituting community resilience, previous research did not measure the communication factor. This was so because communication was viewed simply as a process of information exchange. In the present study, communication is defined in terms of the relationship to be formed before disaster. A measurement tool consisting of 20 items was developed by reviewing previous studies and analyzing in-depth interviews with experts and the general public. Two surveys were conducted. The results of exploratory factor analysis revealed the following three factors: ‘local government leadership’, ‘efficacy of community members’, and ‘two-way communication’. The discriminative and convergent validity of the measurement tool were confirmed through confirmatory factor analysis. Finally, the predictive validity was confirmed through the relevance to social support. The community resilience scale developed in this study can be meaningfully used in future research used to recover the community from disasters and to minimize damage.
Pathways of Propionate Degradation by Enriched Methanogenic Cultures

Field: Immunology and Microbiology (Life Sciences)

A mixed methanogenic culture was highly enriched in a growth medium containing propionate as the sole organic carbon and energy source. With this culture, the pathways of propionate degradation were studied by use of 14 C-radiotracers. Propionate was first metabolized to acetate, carbon dioxide, and hydrogen by nonmethanogenic organisms. Formate was not excreted. The carbon dioxide originated exclusively from the carboxyl group of propionate, whereas both [2- 14 C]- and [3- 14 C]propionate lead to the production of radioactive acetate. The methyl and carboxyl groups of the acetate produced were equally labeled, regardless of whether [2- 14 C]- or [3- 14 C]propionate was used. These observations suggest that in the culture, propionate was degraded through a randomizing pathway.
Phylogenetic evidence for the classification of Acidothermus cellulolyticus into the subphylum of actinomycetes

Field: Agricultural and Biological Sciences (Life Sciences)

The primary structure of the 16S rDNA of Acidothermus cellulolyticus, a cellulolytic, asporogenous rod isolated from a hot spring, was determined by automated sequence analysis. This Gram-variable organism is not related to members of other aerobic thermophilic genera found in similar environments, such as Thermus and Thermomicrobium, but clusters within the phylogenetically defined radiation of the actinomycetes where it represents an individual subline of descent.

Conversion in the Requirement of Coat Protein in Cell-to-Cell Movement Mediated by the Cucumber Mosaic Virus Movement Protein

Field: Agricultural and Biological Sciences (Life Sciences)

ABSTRACT Plant viruses have movement protein (MP) gene(s) essential for cell-to-cell movement in hosts. Cucumber mosaic virus (CMV) requires its own coat protein (CP) in addition to the MP for intercellular movement. Our present results using variants of both CMV and a chimeric Brome mosaic virus with the CMV MP gene revealed that CMV MP truncated in its C-terminal 33 amino acids has the ability to mediate viral movement independently of CP. Coexpression of the intact and truncated CMV MPs extremely reduced movement of the chimeric viruses, suggesting that these heterogeneous CMV MPs function antagonistically. Sequential deletion analyses of the CMV MP revealed that the dispensability of CP occurred when the C-terminal deletion ranged between 31 and 36 amino acids and that shorter deletion impaired the ability of the MP to promote viral movement. This is the first report that a region of MP determines the requirement of CP in cell-to-cell movement of a plant virus.

A Rare Complication After Spinal Anesthesia: Intracranial Subdural Hematoma

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

Acute & chronic intracranial subdural hematoma is usually caused by trauma. However, it is a rare and serious complication after spinal anesthesia. A 38-year-old woman was brought to the emergency department by her relatives with complaints of sudden change in consciousness. It was learned that the patient gave birth by cesarean section under spinal anesthesia 3 days ago. It was anamnesized that there was no abnormality in the operation, the patient had a headache during the follow-up in the service and was diagnosed as post-dural puncture headache, analgesics were prescribed and she was discharged with recommendations. It was determined that the headaches continued after discharge and sudden change in consciousness occurred 2 hours after discharge. On physical examination, the patient was intubated because of poor general condition and Glasgow coma scale score of 8. The patient had 4/2 anisocoria on the left side. A brain CT scan showed a 6 mm subacute subdural hematoma in the left frontotemporoparietal region at the widest part. There was an 8 mm shift effect to the right of the midline, the sulci were obliterated and the cerebral tissue was mildly edematous. The patient was consulted to neurosurgery because of subacute subdural hematoma, shifting and anisocoria and was transferred to neurosurgery intensive care unit for emergency craniotomy and hematoma evacuation. This case report describes an acute subdural hematoma after spinal anesthesia and emphasizes that when using spinal anesthesia, it should be kept in mind that headache does not always mean hypotensive headache associated with spinal anesthesia and that a catastrophic complication of subdural hematoma may also occur.

SUMMERTIME ATMOSPHERIC CIRCULATION IN THE VICINITY OF

Field: Earth and Planetary Sciences (Physical Sciences)

Abstract. The surface wind field is an important factor controlling the surface mass balance of Antarctica. This paper focuses on the observed atmospheric circulation during summer of an Antarctic blue ice area in Queen Maud Land. Blue ice areas are characterised by a negative surface mass balance and henceforth provide an interesting location to study the influence of meteorological processes on large local mass balance gradients. During lapse conditions, synoptic forcing determines the surface-layer flow. No significant horizontal temperature gradient with coastal stations could be detected along isobaric surfaces, indicating weak or absent thermal wind. Observations performed at the coastal stations Halley and Georg von Neumayer show the pronounced effects of synoptic forcing. The surface winds in the valley of the blue ice area could be divided into two distinct flow patterns, occurring with about equal frequency during the experiment. Flow type I is associated with cyclonic activity at the coast, resulting in strong easterly winds, precipitation and drifting snow. Flow characteristics inside and outside of the valley are similar during these conditions. Flow type I/occurs when a high pressure system develops in the Weddell Sea, weakening the free atmosphere geostrophic winds. A local circulation is able to develop inside the valley of the blue ice area during these tranquil conditions. The transition from flow type II to flow type I is associated with front-like phenomena inside the valley. Some simple theoretical considerations show that surface-layer stability and the upper air geostrophic wind determine the surface flow direction in the valley. Finally, the influence of the observed circulation on the energy and mass balance of the blue ice area is discussed. 1.
Probing quantum turbulence in $^4$He by quantum evaporation measurements

Field: Physics and Astronomy (Physical Sciences)

Theory of superfluid $^4$He shows that, due to strong correlations and backflow effects, the density profile of a vortex line has the character of a density modulation and it is not a simple rarefaction region as found in clouds of cold bosonic atoms. We find that the basic features of this density modulation are represented by a wave--packet of cylindrical symmetry in which rotons with positive group velocity have a dominant role: The vortex density modulation can be viewed as a cloud of virtual excitations, mainly rotons, sustained by the phase of the vortex wave function. This suggests that in a vortex reconnection some of these rotons become real so that a vortex tangle is predicted to be a source of non-thermal rotons. The presence of such vorticity induced rotons can be verified by measurements at low temperature of quantum evaporation of $^4$He atoms. We estimate the rate of evaporation and this turns out to be detectable by current instrumentation. Additional information on the microscopic processes in the decay of quantum turbulence will be obtained if quantum evaporation by high energy phonons should be detected.
Potential of Waste Water Use for Jatropha Cultivation in Arid Environments

Field: Environmental Science (Physical Sciences)

Water is crucial for socio-economic development and healthy ecosystems. With the actual population growth and in view of future water scarcity, development calls for improved sectorial allocation of groundwater and surface water for domestic, agricultural and industrial use. Instead of intensifying the pressure on water resources, leading to conflicts among users and excessive pressure on the environment, sewage effluents, after pre-treatment, provide an alternative nutrient-rich water source for agriculture in the vicinity of cities. Water scarcity often occurs in arid and semiarid regions affected by droughts and large climate variability and where the choice of crop to be grown is limited by the environmental factors. Jatropha has been introduced as a potential renewable energy resource since it is claimed to be drought resistant and can be grown on marginal sites. Sewage effluents provide a source for water and nutrients for cultivating jatropha, a combined plant production/effluent treatment system. Nevertheless, use of sewage effluents for irrigation in arid climates carries the risk of salinization. Thus, potential irrigation with sewage effluents needs to consider both the water requirement of the crop and those needed for controlling salinity build-up in the top soil. Using data from a case study in Southern Morocco, irrigation requirements were calculated using CROPWAT 8.0. We present here crop evapotranspiration during the growing period, required irrigation, the resulting nutrient input and the related risk of salinization from the irrigation of jatropha with sewage effluent.
Romania - Strategic assessement of integrated development plans for growth poles

Field: Social Sciences (Social Sciences)

Integrated Development Plans (IDPs) have been introduced in Romania as a prerequisite for accessing EU funds under the Regional Operational Program (ROP). The IDPs designed for growth poles represent a specific category of strategic planning documents as: 1) they need to be considered within the frame of the national policy to whose implementation they contribute; and 2) they represent a first endeavor to think of development across functional areas rather than confined to the administrative borders of the main cities. The objectives of this report are: i) to carry out a strategic evaluation of the seven IDPs and assess how the current plans compare with the diagnostic of the challenges identified in the work on urban development; and ii) to provide clear recommendations for the improvement of existing IDPs which will contribute to the elaboration of the future generation of plans implemented during the next programming period and will help improve the targeting of investments to enhance their economic impact.
Analisis Motivasi Belajar Siswa SD Dalam Pembelajaran Daring di Masa Pandemi Covid-19 Melalui Aplikasi Quizizz

Field: Social Sciences (Social Sciences)

The spread of the Covid-19 virus that has swept across the world has caused changes in various aspects, one of which is a change in the learning process, which was previously face-to-face, now learning during the pandemic is carried out online both in elementary, junior high, high school, and even in universities. In online learning, of course, there are many problems faced by students, teachers, and parents. One of the problems that arise is that educators are less able to innovate in making online learning media so that it causes students to experience a decrease in motivation and activity in learning, therefore there is a need for solutions to increase learning motivation, especially for elementary students. One of the media platforms used to increase children's motivation in online learning is by using the Quizziz application. The Quizizz application is one of the fun online learning application media that can be accessed by students and teachers easily and the use of the Quizziz application in giving quizzes to students is one of the targets of students to be even more active in learning and to provide additional learning motivation when learning online today.
Videoconferencing Technology for Clinical Purposes: Opinions and Experiences of New Zealand Clinical Psychologists and Neuropsychologists

Field: Health Professions (Health Sciences)

Objective: \nTelehealth is a distanced method for delivery of traditionally in-person clinical psychological and neuropsychological services. Much of the current research has focused on feasibility of the method and there is a lack of data on clinicians' perspectives of telehealth. This research will explore current experiences and opinions of clinical psychologists and neuropsychologists on telehealth practising in Aotearoa, New Zealand. \n \nMethod: \nAn anonymous sample of registered and practicing neuropsychologists and clinical psychologists were recruited to complete an online survey between August and October 2021. Closed-ended questions were analysed using SPSS and open-ended questions were analysed using a descriptive inductive Thematic Analysis method and Nvivo software. The survey queried non-identifiable demographic and practice details, prior knowledge of telehealth, clinical experience and explored telehealth in the context of three common practise aspects including: history taking interviews, assessments, and therapy/interventions. \n \nResults: \nA total of 88 participants responded to the survey and results showed that 90% had used videoconference for clinical purposes. The mean clinical experience of the sample was 14.5 years, age ranged between 20 and 79 years and 78% were female. Assessments were the least common service used via telehealth (n = 19), more so history taking interviews (n = 62) and most for therapy and intervention (n = 71). Respondents spoke positively of Telehealth for use in specific circumstances. Thematic analysis identified four themes which illustrated professional opinions on the use of telehealth for clinical purposes: Accessibility of clinical services, client and clinician specific considerations, practical considerations, and shifts in the therapeutic relationship. \n \nConclusions: \nResults of this study generated deeper insight into the current real-world practice of TH in NZ, by exploring the use and acceptability of TH from the perspective of clinically practicing psychologists in the context of rapid uptake during COVID-19. The study reinforced the importance of monitoring relative outcomes and effectiveness of TH for different areas of psychological practise, as requirements differed across different services and treatments.

SOC CMOS technology for personal internet products

Field: Engineering (Physical Sciences)

Worldwide demand for Personal Internet Products is increasing rapidly, and will shape the directions of CMOS technology in the years ahead. Personal Internet Products are loosely defined in this paper as communication, computing and consumer products, which are enabled by the Internet: cell phones, PDAs, WLANs, Internet audio/video, ADSL, cable modems etc. Personal Internet Products are based on Digital Signal Processing (DSP) and analog functionality. They are made accessible to billions of people around the globe by intense focus on cost through SOC integration. In the Internet Age, Moore's Law will continue to be a technology imperative for the semiconductor industry. But SOC integration will be an additional technology imperative that drives down the cost of Personal Internet Product to mass market levels. SOC integration for Personal Internet Products requires the integration of analog, power analog, RF and memory onto the digital baseband processor, which is fabricated in high density, high performance, low cost digital CMOS technology. This paper describes the challenges and some of the solutions to achieve this vision.
Head and neck cancer with simultaneous lung cancer.

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

The simultaneous occurrence of a primary malignant tumor of the lung or pulmonary metastasis in patients with head and neck cancer is uncommon. In response to the question, "Are efforts toward management of cancer in the head and neck region in a person with simultaneous malignant tumor of the lung an exercise in futility?" we present six cases evaluated at the Louisiana State University Health Sciences Center in Shreveport during a 19-year period. Men with squamous cell cancers at both locations and locally advanced malignant tumors of the lung were predominant in this series of patients. Chemoradiation was applied because of extensive disease at one or both neoplastic sites. Long-term survival was not observed in most patients (including the aggressively treated individuals) whose malignant neoplasms were concurrently managed by non-operative means.
