Demography and genetic adaptation: examples from human populations

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

The human colonization of worldwide landmasses occurred through complex patterns of dispersal and admixture. At the same time, the survival in the different areas of the world depended on the adaptation to new habitats that imposed novel selective challenges. With the advent of high-throughput genotyping technologies and dense catalogues of human genetic variation, the demographic history of many human populations has been unraveled from genomic data, with important implications in medical genetics. However, several human groups are yet to be genetically characterized. These incomplete past histories include the determination of ancestries of the current Cuban population, as well as the origins and dispersal of European Romani, whose demographic history is aimed to be reconstructed in this work. Finally, the present study also aims to describe the genetic basis and evolution of one of the most striking human phenotypes, the African Pygmy height.
[Hemiparesis and torsade de pointes under low-dose sotalol therapy].

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

An 81-year-old woman with recurrent epileptic attacks, hemiparesis and rapidly changing consciousness is described in whom the most probable reason for the clinical picture was polymorphous ventricular tachycardia (torsade de pointes). Sotalol (Sotalex), which the patient received for two weeks at a dose of 80 mg twice daily because of asymptomatic ectopic ventricular beats, was identified as the causative agent. Torsade de pointes disappeared after a single intravenous injection of 2 g magnesium sulfate. The patient left the hospital a few days later completely recovered from all neurological deficits.
A SOA-oriented e-learning resource integration infrastructure and its service discovery model

Field: Computer Science (Physical Sciences)

E-learning has been a topic of increasing interest in recent years, meanwhile, the integration of e-learning resource has become a challenge. A robust, manageable, distributed infrastructure is absolutely necessary for e-learning resource integration. This infrastructure at least provides the capability of supporting message-oriented middleware, and event-driven integration, as well as the capability of supporting service routing and substitution, protocol transformations, and other message processing. These requirements are consistent with the principles of SOA. This paper tries to provide a novel SOA-oriented e-learning resource integration infrastructure. In particular, we introduce a novel service discovery model in the context of this e-learning resource integration infrastructure. The initial simulation results show that the model can effectively aggregate the service information and avoid the overload caused by frequent dynamic updating.
A Grounded Theory Study of the Experiences of Early Childhood Educators Implementing Action Research as a Professional Development Method

Field: Social Sciences (Social Sciences)

The purpose of this systematic grounded theory study was to gain insight through the experiences of early childhood educators and their perceptions as they implemented action research as a professional development method. This study focused on the process of implementing action research as a professional development method and strived to answer questions related to the possible future use of this model in other educational settings while describing educator experiences, perceptions and beliefs. Data collection included interviews, observations, and journals. Detailed procedures for analysis were employed during the study with three phases of coding: Open, Axial, and Selective. Data was analyzed by describing the experiences of the educators in detail and the themes that emerged during the collection of data to form a grounded theory model on utilizing action research as a professional development method in early childhood settings.

E-mail: rmviejo@correo.uniovi.es **Centre for Research on Ecological Impacts of Coastal Cities, Marine Ecological Laboratories A11, The University of Sydney, New South Wales 2006, Australia ABSTRACT: Mortality soon after settlement is typically high and spatial distribution of germlings is usually very variable in seaweeds. This is the case for Ascophyllum nodosum (L.) Le Jol, which is a very common brown alga on sheltered rocky shores of the northern Atlantic. In this paper, the interactive effects of several factors on the survival of germlings of A. nodosum were investigated using an experiment carried out on the Swedish west coast. The general hypothesis that the combination of littorinid grazing, adult canopy and germling density affect the survival of germlings was tested. Two densities of zygotes were seeded onto small outplant discs in the laboratory. After 4 wk, the discs were transplanted onto the shore in plots, which were composed of all possible combinations of adult canopy and littorinid grazing. Germling survival was calculated at 2 different points in time (after 5 and 23 d on the shore). After 5 d, there was no effect of grazers in the presence of canopy. In contrast, in areas cleared of canopy, survival was extremely low where grazers were present, but high where grazers were removed. At this stage, higher survival was observed at low density under an adult canopy and the opposite trend was observed in cleared areas. Mortality rates were not constant over time. In the presence of gastropods, instantaneous mortality rates were higher during the first 5 d than over the whole experimental period. Thus, the first period constituted the most vulnerable phase for A. nodosum germlings. After 23 d, there was a trend for germling survival to decrease in the presence of grazers, regardless of other factors. This result suggests that grazers may affect the patterns of recruit distribution at later stages and the transition probabilities to macrorecruits.

Competence in advanced older people nursing: development of ‘Nursing older people – Competence evaluation tool’

Field: Nursing (Health Sciences)

Background Community care is characterised by a move from institutionalised to home‐based care, a large patient population with comorbidities including cognitive failure, and nurses who struggle to keep up with their many competence demands. No study has examined the competence of nurses based on present demands, and an instrument for this purpose is lacking. Aim and objective We conducted a D elphi study based in N orway to develop the substantial content of a new competence measurement instrument. We sought to reach consensus regarding which nursing staff competence is most relevant to meet the current needs of older patients. Design and method A total of 42 experts participated in three consecutive panel investigations. Snowball sampling was used. The experts were clinicians, leaders, teachers, researchers and relatives of older people who required nursing. In Round 1, all experts were interviewed individually. These data were analysed using meaning coding and categorisation. In Rounds 2 and 3, the data were collected using electronic questionnaires and analysed quantitatively with SPSS . Results The experts agreed that health promotion as well as disease prevention, treatment, palliative care, ethics and regulation, assessment and taking action, covering basic needs, communication and documentation, responsibility and activeness, cooperation, and attitudes towards older people were the most relevant categories of competence. Conclusions The experts showed clear consensus regarding the most relevant and current competence for nurses of older people. Assuming that older people in need of health care have the same requirements across cultures, this study's findings could be used as a basis for international studies. Implications for practice Those who nurse older people require competence that is complex and comprehensive. One way to evaluate nursing competence is through evaluation tools such as the N ursing O lder P eople – C ompetence E valuation tool.
Biopsychological basis of mindfulness

Field: Neuroscience (Life Sciences)

The term mindfulness is usually described as maintaining a non judgmental moment by moment awareness of our thoughts, feelings, bodily sensations and surrounding environment. Person is consequently capable of being permanently aware. That can lead to physical relaxation, emotional balance, behavioral regulation, self perception alternation and decentration. Mindfulness is known to have numerous positive effects, such as anxiety and depression decrease, prevention of depression relapse, suicide prevention and it can also be used as an alternative cure for diseases such as cancer, multiple sclerosis, Parkinson’s disease and most importantly, for increasing general quality of life. Our aim was to figure out, weather mindfulness influences brain in any possible way and if there are, despite of psychological, also any physiological changes. To achieve our goal, we have examined the online available literature, especially articles and summed up the results. We know that our connections and the structure of our brain can be changed if we are exposed to the same behavior over and over again. This phenomena called neuroplasticity is responsible and fundamental for alteration in our brain after mindfulness meditation training. Studies that compare non meditations to the experienced ones have revealed differences in size and density of gray matter in prefrontal cortex, amygdala, and hippocampus areas that are also responsible for memory, learning and regulation of emotions. Some researchers have also confirmed epigenetic changes in some regulatory genes after a sufficient period of regular meditation. Mindfulness can reshape our brain and neurological findings can profoundly explain the well-known psychological changes that occur as a consequence of mindfulness based meditation. With this scientific evidences of beneficial effects we could use the meditation as a preventive or healing alternative in variety of psychological and physical problems.
Phytonutritional compounds and antioxidant activity of eight new edible flowers

Field: Agricultural and Biological Sciences (Life Sciences)

In the last years, special attention has been given to the nutritional properties of food, and the edible flowers (EFs) represent an uncommon fresh product to characterise, with the aim to explore new species with peculiar aesthetic and the aromatic features. This work investigated some nutritional properties of eight new EFs, such as Begonia boliviensis A.DC. (pink and white varieties), Dahlia pinnata Cav., Salvia farinacea Benth., S. × jamensis J.Compton, S. ‘Purple Queen’ Tulbaghia simmleri Beauv. ‘Alba’, T. violacea Harv. ‘Alba’, chosen for their different colours and corolla morphologies. Primary and secondary metabolites have been determined. The highest protein content was found in T. violacea ‘Alba’ and D. pinnata. The Salvia species showed the highest soluble sugar content. The two Tulbaghia species were notable for hexose and ascorbic acid content. D. pinnata showed the highest polyphenols, flavonoids and carotenoid content, with the highest antiradical activity.
TypeA Behavior Pattern andCoronary Atherosclerosis

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

SUMMARY Previous research hasdemonstrated an increased rateofclinical coronaryheartdisease (CHD)events amongpeople whoexhibit acoronary prone (Type A)behavior pattern. Thisstudy wasundertaken todetermine whether theassociation between behavior pattern TypeA andCHD mightbeextended beyond clinical CHD events toinclude alsothecoronaryatherosclerotic process.Inaddition tousual clinical evaluation, 156consecutive patients referred fordiagnostic coronaryangiography wereindependently assessed on thebasis ofa structured interview andassigned a rating ofTypeA,TypeB,orTypeX (indeterminate). Traditional physiologic factorsage,sex,cholesterol andcigarette smoking werefound tocorrelate withatherosclerotic disease. TypeA patients werefound inincreasing proportions among groupsofpatients with coronaryocclusions ofmoderate toseveredegree compared withpatients withonlymildocclusions. This increasing proportion ofTypeA patients withincreasing disease severity remained significant, evenwhenage, sex,blood pressure, serumcholesterol level andcigarette smoking history were allsimultaneously covaried. Thesefindings suggest that, independently oftraditional riskfactors, behavior pattern TypeA may contribute totheriskofclinical CHD events viaeffects on theatherosclerotic process.

Quasispecies distribution of Eigen model

Field: Mathematics (Physical Sciences)

We study sharp peak landscapes (SPL) of Eigen model from a new perspective\nabout how the quasispecies distribute in the sequence space. To analyze the\ndistribution more carefully, we bring forth two tools. One tool is the variance\nof Hamming distance of the sequences at a given generation. It not only offers\nus a different avenue for accurately locating the error threshold and\nillustrates how the configuration of the distribution varies with copying\nfidelity $q$ in the sequence space, but also divides the copying fidelity into\nthree distinct regimes. The other tool is the similarity network of a certain\nHamming distance $d_{0}$, by which we can get a visual and in-depth result\nabout how the sequences distribute. We find that there are several local optima\naround the center (global optimum) in the distribution of the sequences\nreproduced near the threshold. Furthermore, it is interesting that the\ndistribution of clustering coefficient $C(k)$ follows lognormal distribution\nand the curve of clustering coefficient $C$ of the network versus $d_{0}$\nappears as linear behavior near the threshold.\n
Effect of the programmed cooling process on store quality of 'Da wuxing' loquat fruit.

Field: Agricultural and Biological Sciences (Life Sciences)

The experiment was conducted with fresh fruit of loquat(Eriobotrya japonica Lindl.cv.Dawuxing) to test the effect of 5 ℃ for 6 days and then coldly stored at 0 ℃.Compared with the straight cooling process,the programmed cooling process could significantly reduce the fruit's depraved rate in the course of storage,decreased the loss of water,lighten the browning degree of fruit,drop down the content of fruit soluble solids,and could effectively reduce the peeling difficulty of the loquat fruit.The fruits had good flavor,rich juice and the shelf-life could be extended distinctively after dealing with the programmed cooling process.Consequently,the programmed cooling process was not only enhancing the capacity of chilling injury obviously,and was a feasible way to keep storage quality and prolong the shelf-life of loquat fruits.

Things To Consider If You Have Multiple ESAs

Field: Health Professions (Health Sciences)

Looking to have more than one emotional support animals? While there is no official law or policy that clearly states how many ESAs a person may have, there are some important factors that you must consider before bringing Coco or Kitty a companion.\n\nBesides all the differences, there is one thing that is common for all the ESAs. No matter how many ESAs you want, you will need valid and genuine ESA letter for it. Before moving forward, ask for an emotional support animal letter sample to check it thoroughly.\n\nImportant things to consider before bringing more animals into your house are explained below.\n\n \n\n1. Responsibility\n\nHaving a single ESA is a lot of responsibility. You need to look after it just like a kid. They need your attention and they are totally dependent on you for everything. Before bringing in more emotional support animals, think realistically if you could bear this responsibility.\n\nMany therapists suggest that you should not have more than a single animal and this could largely be due to the person’s physical situation. Physical situation or not, think carefully if you could bear and fulfil this responsibility.\n\n \n\n2. Your Housing Situation\n\nLiving in a farmhouse and living in an apartment or a rented property are entirely different things. There are fair chances that your landlord does not allow you to keep more than one ESA.\n\nSince you will be responsible for your animal’s behavior, you must be realistic and wise to decide if your place could house this many animals. If your house is small and can hardly accommodate a small dog or cat then don't try to force your landlord and yourself to do otherwise.\n\n \n\n3. Budget and the Required Finance\n\nOnce you bring in the animals, your work and responsibility will not end here. Managing one animals requires hefty budget and the cost skyrockets when you plan to get multiple emotional support animals. Make a budget and add food, medical care, grooming cost and other expenses in it.\n\nBesides the cost, they will need more efforts and energy also.\n\n \n\nDo you think you could manage all this and keep your ESAs healthy and happy, all together? If yes then go ahead and qualify for esa letter for housing for your animal but if you doubt then it is better to be happy with Coco or Kitty only.
Experimental and Theoretical Investigation of the Coalescence of Water Drops.

Field: Chemistry (Physical Sciences)

This report summarises results of the coalscence efficiency of colliding drops which were obtained from laboratory experiments and a theoretical model. Both theory and experiment suggest that the coalescence efficiency is a function of both drop radii and drop size ratio. Even though no clear dependence of coalescence efficiency on impact speed was observed experimentally, the theory does predict some dependence on velocity. Generally it is observed that the coalescence efficiency decreases with increase in the size of the large drop, R(L), and the drop size ratio, p. However, for small R(L) a decrease in the efficiency was also shown. Both theory and experiment demonstrate the strong dependence of coalescence on impact angle. From the experiments two empirical equations were obtained which relate the coalescence efficiencies and partial coalescence efficiencies with p and R(L). These could be used in numerical models of cloud and rain development. (Author)
