COMBINING SELF-MONITORING AND AN INTERDEPENDENT GROUP CONTINGENCY TO IMPROVE THE BEHAVIOR OF SIXTH GRADERS WITH EBD

Field: Psychology (Social Sciences)

A withdrawal design was used to examine the influence of a self-monitoring procedure on the overall effectiveness of an interdependent group contingency intervention implemented in a sixth-grade classroom in an alternative school serving students with emotional and behavioral disorders (EBD). Dependent variables included student on-task, off-task, and disruptive behaviors exhibited during language arts. Following baseline, the classroom teacher implemented an interdependent group contingency using randomized criteria for reinforcement and randomized reinforcers. Next, a self-monitoring intervention procedure was added to the existing interdependent group contingency intervention. The self-monitoring procedure was then withdrawn and reinstated. Results indicated that though there were improvements in behavior from baseline upon intervention implementation, the self-monitoring procedure did not increase the effectiveness of the interdependent group contingency intervention. Limitations and suggestions for future research investigating the influence of self-monitoring on group contingency interventions are discussed.
Photogeological study of cenozoic landform evolution in the Cooktown area, North Queensland, Australia

Field: Earth and Planetary Sciences (Physical Sciences)

Abstract The Great Escarpment of the eastern Cape York Peninsula of far northeast Australia consists of two parallel, offset segments. In the hinterland of Cooktown, these segments are separated by the Mesozoic Laura Basin. To the west of the Basin, the Great Escarpment appears to have evolved on a tiltblock associated with Cenozoic normal faulting along the Palmerville Structure, a major north‐south tectonic feature forming the western margin of the Basin. To the east of the Basin, the Great Escarpment appears to have developed along a north‐northwest axis of upwarping. The existence of this axis is supported by evidence of drainage capture, by the association between the axis and Quaternary volcanism and by fracture patterns in the Mesozoic sandstones along the line of the axis. The eastern segment of the Escarpment appears to be younger than the western. This model supports an earlier hypothesis of escarpment formation in the region as a result of en echelon double lines of uplift.
Chromosome translocations: segregation modes and strategies for preimplantation genetic diagnosis

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

Preimplantation genetic diagnosis (PGD) offers polymerase chain reaction tests for an increasing range of single gene defects, and fluorescence in situ hybridization tests for sex determination (for X-linked conditions) and for aneuploidy detection. Patients carrying chromosome translocations with a high reproductive risk are increasingly seeking to increase their chances of a normal pregnancy with the help of PGD, for which they present a special challenge. This paper describes the behaviour of reciprocal translocations at meiosis, discusses current methods of detecting meiotic outcomes at the preimplantation stage and outlines ways forward for preimplantation diagnosis of these common rearrangements. We also propose a more general strategy using recently developed chromosome-specific sub-telomeric probes, combined, if possible, with proximal probes, to form a strong diagnostic tool.

Field: Agricultural and Biological Sciences (Life Sciences)

(Uploaded by Plazi for the Bat Literature Project) The State of Jalisco has been recognized as one of the richest states in Mexico about the number of mammalian species. Jalisco is located in one of the most remarkable geographic regions, due to the high number of endemisms that occur there. Here we present a checklist of the land mammals inhabiting Jalisco, with emphasis on their endemism and status of conservation. The information was compiled from national and international scientific collections. We found 155 subspecies, 168 species, 89 genera, 22 families and eight orders. Within the species, 26% are monotypic and 74% are polytypic, 40 are endemic to Mexico, including four endemic to Jalisco. As for their conservation status, 21 species are considered in the Mexican Ecological Norm (NOM-ECOL-0592001). Finally, Lepus californicus is recorded from Jalisco for the first time.
Comprehensive pan‐cancer analysis of mitochondrial outer membrane permeabilisation activity reveals positive immunomodulation and assists in identifying potential therapeutic targets for immunotherapy resistance

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

Abstract Background Mitochondrial outer membrane permeabilisation (MOMP) plays a pivotal role in cellular death and immune activation. A deeper understanding of the impact of tumour MOMP on immunity will aid in guiding more effective immunotherapeutic strategies. Methods A comprehensive pan‐cancer dataset comprising 30 cancer‐type transcriptomic cohorts, 20 immunotherapy transcriptomic cohorts and three immunotherapy scRNA‐seq datasets was collected and analysed to determine the influence of tumour MOMP activity on clinical prognosis, immune infiltration and immunotherapy effectiveness. Leveraging 65 scRNA‐Seq datasets, the MOMP signature (MOMP.Sig) was developed to accurately reflect tumour MOMP activity. The clinical predictive value of MOMP.Sig was explored through machine learning models. Integration of the MOMP.Sig model and a pan‐cancer immunotherapy CRISPR screen further investigated potential targets to overcome immunotherapy resistance, which subsequently underwent clinical validation. Results Our research revealed that elevated MOMP activity reduces mortality risk in cancer patients, drives the formation of an anti‐tumour immune environment and enhances the response to immunotherapy. This finding emphasises the potential clinical application value of MOMP activity in immunotherapy. MOMP.Sig, offering a more precise indicator of tumour cell MOMP activity, demonstrated outstanding predictive efficacy in machine‐learning models. Moreover, with the assistance of the MOMP.Sig model, FOXO1 was identified as a core modulator that promotes immune resistance. Finally, these findings were successfully validated in clinical immunotherapy cohorts of skin cutaneous melanoma and triple‐negative breast cancer patients. Conclusions This study enhances our understanding of MOMP activity in immune modulation, providing valuable insights for more effective immunotherapeutic strategies across diverse tumours.
Antidepressive Treatment and Mood Swing Patterns in Endogenous Depression

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

In 105 patients with endogenous depression treated with antidepressants or ECT the course of the depressive state was evaluated by means of a self-rating mood scale (Befindlichkeits-Skala by von Zerssen). The scale was filled out every second day. The course of the depressive mood was computed by various algorithms for each patient. Two different courses of depressive mood could be identified: some patients showed a relatively continuous decline in the depressive mood, whereas others showed strong fluctuations. Although there were some correlations between type of treatment and extent of mood swings, other factors also seemed to be relevant. Thus, there appears to be an interaction between treatment effects and spontaneous rhythms.
A Juridical Analysis of the Implications of Constitutional Court Decision No. 60/PUU/XXII/2024 Paving the Way for Political Parties Without Regional Representative Council Seats in Nominating Regional Heads

Field: Social Sciences (Social Sciences)

The Constitutional Court's Decision No. 60/PUU/XXII/2024 has altered the nomination requirements for regional head elections, allowing political parties without seats in the Regional Representative Council to nominate candidates. This change is seen as a progressive step in strengthening democracy by broadening opportunities for small and emerging parties. However, it also introduces risks and challenges, such as the potential reinforcement of political dynasties, increased money politics, and political fragmentation at the local level. This study aims to analyze the juridical implications of the decision on Indonesia's regional head election system. The research method employed is normative legal method with a juridical analysis approach to relevant legislation, including the 1945 Constitution, the Regional Head Election Law, and Decision No. 60/PUU/XXII/2024. The study's data sources are secondary, comprising legal documents, academic literature, and news articles discussing related issues. The findings indicate that while the decision has the potential to expand political participation and strengthen democracy, significant risks related to political stability and the integrity of the election process remain. Therefore, strict oversight and effective law enforcement are necessary to ensure that these changes positively impact Indonesia's democracy.
Migration of Cells During Choroid Fissure Closure

Field: Neuroscience (Life Sciences)

In the developing embryo, the eyes are formed through an ordered and complex process. A critical facet during the developing eye is the formation of the choroid fissure which forms the optic cup. Failure of the choroid fissure to close during eye development results in ocular Coloboma. Coloboma results an abnormality of the lens, iris and retina. We lack a complete understanding of the migration gene expression required for this process to occur properly. Furthermore, it is unknown if cells within the apposed sides of the CF will maintain their current location within the CF after fusion has occurred. We hypothesize that the cells within the choroid fissure will remain within position post-closure compared to their position pre-closure indicating an inherent positional knowledge. To address positional movement of cells pre- and post-choroid fissure closure, we will utilize UV light activation for UAS Kaede and GAL4 embryos using in vivo imaging.
A study of persistence of undergraduate women majoring in engineering and math

Field: Social Sciences (Social Sciences)

The purpose of this study was to identify factors that are associated with encourage the persistence of undergraduate women majoring in Engineering and Math (EM) at Florida Atlantic University, University of Central Florida, and University of South Florida. The persistence factors were examined through an analysis of university data and the use of a survey for enrolled senior standing students who declared their first major in engineering or math. Both quantitative and qualitative methods were utilized to collect and analyze data from the three sites. Factor analysis and logistic regression were used to analyze the quantitative data. The quantitative data retrieved from the survey instrument revealed that participants who were self motivated, felt they had a safe learning environment, and were engaged by the university were more likely to persist in engineering and math. Additionally, the survey revealed that race and ethnicity does not predict persistence of undergraduate women majoring in engineering and math. Qualitative analysis of open-ended survey questions revealed that the most important factor that helps female students persist in engineering and math major was self-confidence and determination. They also indicated that discrimination and stereotyping were the most difficult factors for female students to overcome. To enable more women to be successful in the pursuit of a engineering or math degree, participants made an overwhelming reference to intervention as student engagement. Student engagement consists of the following: outreach programs, support programs, study groups, homework sessions, women clubs, engineering or math clubs, math and sciences activities, math and science tours, engineering and math societies, educational programs focusing on engineering and math, online courses, women organizations in STEM, positive role models, female teachers, women mentors, exposure to engineering and math, and expanding the career outlooks of young women. They suggested that student engagement must start early and must be continuous throughout every level of the educational pathway and professional life. Recommendations are provided for policymakers and university administrators to continue supporting women majoring in EM and to increase awareness and access that encourage persistence of women in the pursuit of EM career goals.
Fabrication of cationic polymer surface through plasma polymerization and layer-by-layer assembly

Field: Materials Science (Physical Sciences)

Titanium implants have been widely used for orthopedic and trauma surgery, while they often encounter the predicament of implant-associated infection, which leads to surgery failure. To address this issue, polycation surface coatings that are able to improve the antibacterial properties of implants have been developed. The objective of this study is to fabricate amine cationic polymer onto the surface of titanium alloys via a combination of plasma polymerization and layer-by-layer assembly and to investigate their antibacterial property after implantation. Titanium alloys were coated with poly(allylamine) (PAA) as the first polycationic monolayer via plasma polymerization. The obtained PAA-coated titanium alloys were then assembled with multilayers of anionic poly(sodium 4-styrenesulfonate) (PSS) and cationic poly(allylamine hydrochloride) (PAH) through layer-by-layer (LbL) self-assembly. Surface characterization using scanning electron microscopy, contact angle measurement, atomic force microscopy and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy confirmed the successful multilayer coatings of PAA, PSS and PAH onto the surface of titanium alloys. Such amine cationic polymer-coated titanium alloys exhibited a negligible in vitro cytotoxicity, while showed an effective antibacterial property against Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus aureus. In addition, no neutrophil distribution was observed between the implanted amine cationic polymer-coated titanium alloys and tissues, which suggested in vivo antibacterial property. These multilayer coated titanium alloys were able to minimize the implant-related infection and showed a great promise for bioimplantation.
Identification and Evaluation of Bisquinoline Scaffold as a New Candidate for α-Synuclein-PET Imaging

Field: Pharmacology, Toxicology and Pharmaceutics (Life Sciences)

α-Synuclein (α-syn) aggregates are pathologically associated with the hallmarks found in brains affected by synucleinopathies such as Parkinson's disease (PD) and multiple system atrophy (MSA). Therefore, the in vivo detection of α-syn aggregates using radiolabeled probes is useful for the comprehension of and medical intervention for synucleinopathies. In the present study, we identified a bisquinoline scaffold as a new promising structure for targeting α-syn aggregates by a screening assay. Then, based on the scaffold, novel bisquinoline derivatives, BQ1 and BQ2, were designed and synthesized, and we evaluated their utilities as α-syn imaging probes. Both compounds showed high affinity for recombinant α-syn aggregates in binding assays in vitro and clearly detected α-syn aggregates in human brain sections. BQ2 showed higher affinity for α-syn aggregates than BQ1, leading to performing 18F-labeling to obtain [18F]BQ2. In a biodistribution study using normal mice, [18F]BQ2 displayed moderate uptake (1.59% ID/g at 2 min postinjection) into but subsequent retention (1.35% ID/g at 60 min postinjection) in the brain. The results of this study suggest that a bisquinoline derivative may be a new candidate as an α-syn-PET imaging probe after appropriate structure modification for further improvement in the pharmacokinetics.
Information and Response

Field: Arts and Humanities (Social Sciences)

Abstract This chapter examines the dissemination and reception of news about war. Tudors and Habsburgs alike sent out news of their campaigns by letter, but the market for pamphlets and printed news developed much faster in the Netherlands with its extensive printing industry. Such material interacted with civic entries, proclamations, and rumours to shape popular views of war. When these criticized rulers, their disseminators might be punished for sedition, but in the cosmopolitan Netherlands it was harder than in England to exclude hostile material from public discussion. Christian humanist pacifism was outweighed by the church's role in coordinating support for war and a nascent English Protestant nationalism. Englishmen and Netherlanders alike were ordered to celebrate their rulers' successes, but the English response concentrated on military victories and dynastic events, while Netherlanders put their efforts into celebrating peace.
A principled engagement?: non-collaboration and the Teachers' League of South Africa in the Western Cape, 1990-2003

Field: Social Sciences (Social Sciences)

This thesis investigates the Teachers' League of South Africa's (TLSA, League or Teachers' League) ideas and practice of non-collaboration. It seeks to ascertain whether these ideas and practices continued after the organisation merged with several public sector unions in the National Union of Public Service and Allied Workers (NUPSAW) at the end of the last century. The thesis tracks the emergence and changing dynamics of the TLSA from the early decades of the twentieth century, as it developed and grew in the Western Cape, a region that was its nerve centre and where it was most active. There is a focus on the endeavours of the League to adapt and grow during the political and educational tumult of the 1990s, a period characterised by negotiations, reconciliatory and consensual politics that centred on nation building, and which was unreceptive if not clearly hostile to the organisation's non-collaborationist stance. The thesis employs an historical approach to contextualise the development of the League's non-collaborationism, and to elucidate the impact of South Africa's changing political, economic and educational landscape on the organisation. Extensive interviews were conducted, therewith giving a voice to the writing of history from below, embracing the experiences and perceptions of League members and the teacher activists who interacted with them before, but more so during and even beyond the 1990s. Documentary material of the TLSA and its umbrella body, the Unity Movement, dating back to the 1940s, provides the key primary sources for the study, while secondary information on the development of South Africa's political economy and the liberation movement offers valuable insights and alternative perspectives on the TLSA and Unity Movement. The thesis endorses the notion that appearances are at times intermingled with the opposite of what is being perceived, and thus challenges assumptions that the League's policy of non-collaboration was fixed and timeless. Instead, the thesis seeks to uncover the incongruities, nuances and complexity of this distinctive quality of the organisation, in an attempt finally, to elucidate its transformative potential in the present period.

The Comparative Study of the Change Detection in Coastal Engineering Using BJ-1 Small Satellite Remote Sensing Data

Field: Engineering (Physical Sciences)

The coastal engineering exerts a great impact on the economic development and ecological environment of the seacoast.Thus,coastal engineering monitoring is a focus in coast zone remote sensing and monitoring.Since the 1980s,satellite remote sensing has become an indispensable technique in detecting the dynamic changes of coastal engineering.The accuracy of changes in coastal engineering is determined by the applicability of data obtained from remote sensing system and the feasibility of the methods in detecting the changes.As a satellite developed by China,the BJ-1 small satellite has already obtained numerous achievements in environment and disaster monitoring,urban management and construction and national land resource surveying.However,little has been investigated concerning the utilization of BJ-1 small satellite in monitoring the coast engineering.We compared various typical detection methods,and summarized a highly accurate and stable method in monitering the costal engineering with BJ-1 small satellite remote sensing data.Different detection methods were applied to investigate the changes in 2 key areas-Tianjin Port and Caofeidian Port costal engineering from 2006 to 2010 based on the characteristics of BJ-1 small satellite data,and evaluated the detected results.Our findings showed that among the detecting methods with BJ-1 remote sensing data,the maximum precision was obtained when waveband substitution technique was combined with SVM classification to detect the changes in costal engineering.The second precisest and stablest method was object-oriented analysis.These results indicate that,BJ-1 remote sensing data meet the requirements for accuracy in different costal engineering monitoring.Meanwhile,combination of waveband substitution and SVM classification technique,as well as object-oriented analysis,has the highest accuracy and stability in different costal engineering monitoring.
