For U.S. science policy, big shift ahead

Field: Social Sciences (Social Sciences)

A new, Republican-controlled Congress is planning to curb regulation and cut at least parts of the U.S. budget. Incoming President Donald Trump, who so far has made no strong connections to the science community, is out to make fundamental changes to the federal government. How their actions will ultimately reverberate through the chemistry enterprise is not yet clear. But leaders in Washington could affect U.S. chemists through shifts in trade policy, research funding, and regulation of drugs, pesticides, commercial chemicals, and more. The election of Trump last fall was a shock for the science community. Now, it is grappling with more uncertainty than it has faced in years over science policy and the future of research funding. "There is a new cast of characters and certainly not the traditionally strong ties to the scientific community," says Howard Garrison, director for policy at the Federation of American Societies for Experimental Biology,
Adjuvant Treatment in Carcinoma of Endometrium: Where Do We Stand?

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

Endometrial cancer is one of the most common gynecological malignancy worldwide. Though there are a large number of completed prospective and retrospective studies, adjuvant treatment remains poorly defined, mainly due to the heterogeneity in selection criteria, different treatment approaches and low recurrence rates in good risk early stage disease. This article comprehensively covers the different risk stratification approaches and the current concepts and evidences in tailoring of adjuvant treatment in carcinoma of the endometrium.

Investigating the contribution and effect of cash transfers to household food security of rural smallholder farmers in the Eastern Cape Province of South Africa

Field: Social Sciences (Social Sciences)

Shocks such as Covid-19 pandemic and natural disasters erode the resilience of many poor households against hunger by further threatening productive capacities. It is projected that over 690 million people around the world went hungry in 2019 and the COVID-19 pandemic is increasing the vulnerabilities and insufficiencies of global food systems. Food security is a human right and the government of South Africa is legally bound by the constitution to ensure food security for all. However, food insecurity in the country is owing to insufficient access to food because of structural poverty and inequality dynamics with a strong racial footprint rather than a shortage of food. Additionally, the rising cost of living, limited investment in agricultural development, and high dependency ratios especially in low-income households are some of the factors contributing to food insecurity in the country. Consequently, household-level food security is a major challenge to the South African government and policymakers. The government has strong social and economic rights commitments in place to achieve this goal and improve the lives of rural communities that are dependent on agriculture as a source of livelihood. Using household survey data, the study seeks to investigate the role played by cash transfers on household productive capacities and food security status within the context of a small pace of transition from homestead to irrigated farming in the former homelands of the Eastern Cape Province. The lower bound poverty line of R 758 (on average $57 USD), was used to determine household food security status. Simple random sampling was employed to select 158 respondents. The propensity score matching method was employed using the Nearest Neighbour and Kernel matching techniques to estimate the treatment effects and compare the outcomes of participation in irrigation farming and receipts of cash transfers in comparison with the non-irrigators. Both matching methods revealed that irrigation farming enhanced the per capita food expenditure by at least ZAR 2 738.88 and ZAR 2 790.37, which then improves household food security. The findings also revealed that cash transfers increase the farmers’ production activities by ZAR 1 467.90 and ZAR 1 478.00. Evidently, the cash transfers necessitate the purchase of more and improved production inputs and access to climate-smart practices such as irrigation, which then improves irrigators’ production capacities and, as a result, reduces vulnerability and improves livelihoods and food security.
A Comparison of the Perceived Performance of Mentoring Functions of National BoardCertified and Non-National Board-Certified Teachers with Their Protégés

Field: Social Sciences (Social Sciences)

National Board-certified (NBC) teachers are recognized as accomplished teachers who have met the National Board’s stringent standards. These teachers are encouraged to serve as mentors to novice teachers and veteran teachers in candidacy for National Board Certification. This study identified and compared the career and psychosocial mentoring functions that NBC teacher mentors and non-NBC teacher mentors perceived they provided to their protégés at the elementary grade levels. National Board-certified protégés’ perceptions of having the functions provided were compared with those of their teacher mentors and with the protégés of non-NBC teacher mentors.\nThe research was conducted in a large urban school district in Florida and included 190 participants: 95 mentors and their protégés. The teacher mentors’ perceptions of having provided the mentoring functions were assessed using the Mentoring Functions Scale for the Mentor, and the protégés’ perceptions were measured with the Mentoring Functions Scale for the Protégé. Both instruments were adapted for this study from a previous mentoring scale for the protégé developed by Noe (1988). Results for the study indicated no statistically significant differences between the NBC teacher mentors and the non-NBC teacher mentors in their perceptions of having provided the functions. Significant differences were found between NBC teacher mentors and their protégés on the exposure-and-visibility function, between non-NBC teacher mentors and their protégés on the challenging assignments function, and between all mentors and all protégés on the challenging assignments function.\nImplications for teacher mentors, administrators, and scholars are provided. These include developing or updating existing mentoring programs to include the career and psychosocial functions studied in this research, providing mentors and protégés with information about the functions in order to assess the existence of specific functions, expanding professional development time to address functions that may have been inadequate, and possibly limiting the number of protégés with whom teacher mentors interact and guide.
What effect is the media having on how people view and hear about the catholic church in Ireland?

Field: Social Sciences (Social Sciences)

The clerical sexual abuse scandals in Ireland has done untold reputational damage to the Catholic Church in Ireland. During and after the scandals, the media provided the Catholic Church with a grovelling platform as it tried to placate the Irish public. The media used their position to negatively portray the Catholic Church to the Irish people. The aims of this research are to examine what effect is the media having on peoples view towards the Catholic Church in Ireland, and to explore how people are now hearing about the Catholic Church in Ireland. The research, conducted using a quantitative data led study, consisted of a ten-point questionnaire. A total of 217 participants responded to the questionnaire. The sample was random and was made up of students from Dublin Business School and employees from the Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade in Dublin. The results showed that participants think the media is having a negative effect over their views of the Catholic Church in Ireland. The results also showed that participants are now mainly hearing about the Catholic Church through the media. The conclusion of this research is that the media is having a negative effect on people’s views towards the Catholic Church in Ireland, and most people are now hearing about developments in the Catholic Church through the media.
A Criterion-based Approach for the Systematic and Transparent Extrapolation of Clinical Trial Survival Data

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

Background: Trial data often does not cover a sufficiently long period of time to truly capture time-toevent endpoints, however, Health Technology Assessment (HTA) bodies often require overall survival (OS) and progression-free survival (PFS) estimates. Often, significant survival effects are found beyond the time period observed in clinical trials, thus, extrapolation of trial results is required for health economic and HTA evaluations. Objectives: This paper looks at different techniques that can be used to extrapolate trial data, as well as criteria that should be used to select the most appropriate technique. Using these insights a formal decisionmaking criteria will be established, allowing users to follow a systematic approach to extrapolating survival estimates. The techniques are then applied to a metastatic breast cancer (MBC) example. Methods: A criterion-based guide was devised to allow the accurate extrapolation and justification of survival estimates in a MBC study comparing eribulin (Halaven) monotherapy with treatment of their (patient’s) physician’s choice (TPC). Parametric and piecewise models are used to extrapolate survival estimates, and statistical as well as visual tests are used to decide the most appropriate modelling technique. Results: In the case study presented, the optimal model was identified as the Accelerated Failure Time (AFT) Parametric model using a Gamma distribution with a treatment covariate for OS, and the Kaplan-Meier survival estimates for PFS. Conclusions: Survival estimates must be extrapolated to a time point such that the benefits of a therapy can be clearly demonstrated. A systematic approach combined with a formal decision-making structure should be used to minimize the potential for bias as well as making the process transparent.
Fatty acid composition of lipids in vegetative organs of the halophyte Suaeda altissima under different levels of salinity

Field: Agricultural and Biological Sciences (Life Sciences)

Qualitative and quantitative composition of fatty acids (FA) in the lipids of vegetative organs of the halophyte Suaeda altissima (L.) Pall. grown at different NaCl concentrations in nutrient solution was studied. Along with this, the biomass of these organs, the content of water and Na+, Cl−, and K+ ions in them, and the ultrastructure of root and leaf cells were determined. At both low (1 mM) and high (750 mM) NaCl concentrations in nutrient solution, plants could maintain growth and water content in organs, demonstrating a noticeable increase in the dry weight and a slight increase in the water content at 250 mM NaCl. At all NaCl concentrations in nutrient solution, S. altissima tissues contained a relatively high K+ amount. Under salinity, Na+ and Cl− ions contributed substantially into the increase in the cell osmotic pressure, i.e., a decrease in their water potential; in the absence of salinity, K+ fulfilled this function. In the cells of both roots and leaves, NaCl stimulated endo- and exocytosis, supposedly involved in the vesicular compound transport. 750 mM NaCl induced plasmolysis and changes in the membrane structure, which can be interpreted as degradation processes. Under optimal NaCl concentration in medium (250 mM), the content of lipids in plant aboveground organs per fresh weight was more than 2.5-fold higher than under 1 or 750 mM NaCl, whereas in the roots opposite patten was observed. When plants were grown under non-optimal conditions, substantial changes occurred in the qualitative and quantitative FA composition in lipids of both aboveground organs and roots. Observed changes are discussed in relation to processes underlying S. altissima salt tolerance and those of disintegration occurring at the high external NaCl concentration (750 mM).

Friendslinks : peer-to-peer based social networking application

Field: Computer Science (Physical Sciences)

Social Networking Sites have been one of the most popular online in recent years. With the increased usage and popularity of Peer-to-Peer Network technology, it gives me the idea of having an application to incorporate the two together – creating a Peer-to-Peer based social networking application. With the idea set, the first step to start the project is to build a graphical user interface for the application. Then, Java RMI and socket programming are used to build the base for communication between two nodes. Lastly, additional features to enhance the application are added. The four main features added are a map, event planner, gallery view and file sharing. The map allows interactive communication between two friends as drawing tools are provided for users to create routes. Users can plan activity using the featured event planner. Basic function like gallery viewing is also added as this feature is a must for users to know their peer‟s everyday life or recent happenings. Last feature – file sharing, a P2P application will surely have a file sharing capability which is also added into the application. After achieving all the above mentioned, a prototype is available for demonstration. The project shows that a P2P application is not restricted to mere file sharing. A social networking application too need not be based on the server-client architecture.
A multicentre cohort study of serum and peritoneal biomarkers to predict anastomotic leakage after rectal cancer resection

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

Abstract Aim Anastomotic leakage (AL) is one of the most feared complications after rectal resection. This study aimed to assess a combination of biomarkers for early detection of AL after rectal cancer resection. Method This study was an international multicentre prospective cohort study. All patients received a pelvic drain after rectal cancer resection. On the first three postoperative days drain fluid was collected daily and C‐reactive protein (CRP) was measured. Matrix metalloproteinase‐2 (MMP2), MMP9, glucose, lactate, interleukin 1‐beta (IL1β), IL6, IL10, tumour necrosis factor alpha (TNFα), Escherichia coli , Enterococcus faecalis , lipopolysaccharide‐binding protein and amylase were measured in the drain fluid. Prediction models for AL were built for each postoperative day using multivariate penalized logistic regression. Model performance was estimated by the c ‐index for discrimination. The model with the best performance was visualized with a nomogram and calibration was plotted. Results A total of 292 patients were analysed; 38 (13.0%) patients suffered from AL, with a median interval to diagnosis of 6.0 (interquartile ratio 4.0–14.8) days. AL occurred less often after partial than after total mesorectal excision (4.9% vs 15.2%, P = 0.035). Of all patients with AL, 26 (68.4%) required reoperation. AL was more often treated by reoperation in patients without a diverting ileostomy (18/20 vs 8/18, P = 0.03). The prediction model for postoperative day 1 included MMP9, TNFα, diverting ileostomy and surgical technique ( c ‐index = 0.71). The prediction model for postoperative day 2 only included CRP ( c ‐index = 0.69). The prediction model for postoperative day 3 included CRP and MMP9 and obtained the best model performance ( c ‐index = 0.78). Conclusion The combination of serum CRP and peritoneal MMP9 may be useful for earlier prediction of AL after rectal cancer resection. In clinical practice, this combination of biomarkers should be interpreted in the clinical context as with any other diagnostic tool.
