Rhizaxinella nuda Wilson 1925

Field: Agricultural and Biological Sciences (Life Sciences)

Rhizaxinella cf. nuda Wilson, 1925 (Fig. 15) Synonymy Rhizaxinella nuda— Wilson 1925: 352 –353, pl. 38 (fig. 5). Description External morphology. Small club­shaped sponges with rather damaged stalks (figs. 15A–E). Their height varies from 0.6 to 2.1 cm. The surface is velvety, greyish. Consistency is rather soft. A contracted osculum is located slightly eccentrically on the top of main body. Skeleton. The choanosomal skeleton is constituted by the principal tylostyles arranged more or less radially and grouped in tracts or bundles (fig. 15F). The ectosomal skeleton is formed by the bouquets of small tylostyles, densely packed and intermingled. Skeleton of the stalk not observed because of considerable damage of the latter. Spicules. Altogether 120 spicules from 2 specimens were measured. Two size categories are well distinguished. The number of measured spicules of each category is given below, separately for each specimen (n1, n2). Both principal and ectosomal spicules possess well­developed spherical tyles. Principal tylostyles are slightly fusiform and straight (fig. 15G). Their dimensions are: length 1150­1759 ­2318 µm, tyle diameter 17­ 18.9­21 µm, diameter of the shaft underneath the tyle 13­14.3­15 µm, maximal diameter of the shaft 13­16.2­ 21 µm (n1=30, n2=30). Ectosomal tylostyles are isodiametric, straight or slightly curved (fig. 15H). They measure: length 450­551­690 µm, tyle diameter 9­13.7­18 µm, diameter of the shaft underneath the tyle 7­ 9.0­11 µm, maximal diameter of the shaft 8­10.1­13 µm (n1=30, n2=30). Spicules of the stalk were not observed. Type locality: NW Pacific: Philippines: Mindanau Island: Iligan Bay, 814 m. Distribution (other than type locality): NW Pacific: Philippines: E. Cebu, 710 m (Lévi 1964). Antarctic: Northern Weddell Sea, 2080–2620 m (present study). Remarks We allocated the specimens studied to R. nuda due to the similarities of main body shape and skeleton architecture. However, it was done with some doubt because our sponges have smaller ectosomal tylostyles and thinner principal tylostyles than those described by Wilson (1925) and also we did not observe the stalk skeleton. On the other hand, our specimens differ quite noticeably from the Southern Hemisphere species R. australiensis Hentschel, 1909. The latter is characterized by the branching, anastomosing body and smaller sizes of both principal and ectosomal spicules than those of the specimens described herein.
Lineages, Geographies: A Review of the Canadian Festival of Spoken Word, Toronto, 11-14 October 2006

Field: Arts and Humanities (Social Sciences)

Veteran spoken-word performer and director of the Calgary International Spoken Word Festival, Sheri-D Wilson kicked off the opening ceremonies of the 2006 Canadian Festival of Spoken Word in Toronto, a fitting gesture, given that Calgary is the newest team addition to the national event. In the midst of entertaining poetry featuring drag queens in pasties, Wilson lamented having recently heard a younger poet “pissing on the Beats.” She implored an audience of poets, “We must as a group know our history.” Veteran dub poet activist Lillian Allen echoed the importance of history when she performed as the Female Honouree on closing night: “if you don’t know where you’re coming from, you can’t see where you’re going to.” The Festival proved that this “we” derives from an eclectic mix of poetic lineages, histories and networks within and beyond poetry. For example, references to Apollinaire, the nineteenth-century-born French-speaking Polish—Swiss—Italian who coined the term “surrealist,” shared the stage with hip-hop legend Tupac Shakur, who coined the much misunderstood acronym “THUG LIFE” (The Hate You Give Little Infants F — -s Everybody).
Labor claims and certification in occupational health and safety management

Field: Health Professions (Health Sciences)

The main objective of this work is to evaluate the influence of the certification in safety and health management in workplaces in the accidents rates. To achieve this objective, a mixed research methodology was chosen: document analysis and questionnaire used as data collection techniques. The bibliographic review was carried out on the various aspects of Occupational Health and Safety (OHS) Certification and the questionnaire for the risk evaluation in OHS allowing work accidents and professional diseases identification. The developed questionnaire was distributed to both workers from companies with External OHS Service and from companies with Internal OHS Service, in a total of 74 questionnaires (60 and 14 respondents, respectively). Also, data on occupational accidents were used to gather information on OHS Services. The results of the study point out to an existing relationship between the type of OHS practiced/implemented in companies and the compliance with the statutory requirements of OHS, which may intervene directly in the workplace accidents. After analysing the studied variables, recommendations are proposed, aiming to an improvement of the OHS certifications.

Born to Lead? The Effect of Birth Order on Noncognitive Abilities

Field: Psychology (Social Sciences)

We study the effect of birth order on personality using Swedish population data. Earlier-born men are more emotionally stable, persistent, socially outgoing, willing to assume responsibility, and able to take initiative than later borns. Firstborn children aremore likely to bemanagers and to be in occupations requiring leadership ability, social ability, and Big Five personality traits.We find a significant role for the sex composition within the family. When investigating possible mechanisms, we find that negative effects of birth order are driven by postnatal environmental factors. We also find evidence of lower parental human capital investments in later-born children.

A Study of Arcing Fault in the Low-Voltage Electrical Installation

Field: Engineering (Physical Sciences)

Currently there is technology capable of detecting arcing conditions in low voltage installations available in the United States and Canada (120 V, 60 Hz). This technology has been developed to increase the protection of those installations against electrical fires. While there is a great interest to apply this technology to higher voltage applications (230/240 Vac, 50/60 Hz) it is important to understand how safety-related requirements might need to change in order to be applicable to these new conditions. This discussion covers aspects governing standard testing methods utilized in the industry, the operational environment of the technology and the need for means that realistically could duplicate a series arc fault in order to have a better understanding of the driving factors impacting both applications. The author suggests an implementation method that can be used as an alternative means of testing which provides a better observation of the occurrence, the stability and the outcome of series arcing.
Induction of male Sterility by Gibberellic Acid in Sunflower

Field: Agricultural and Biological Sciences (Life Sciences)

Data from field experiments indicated that application of GA at a concentration of 90–100 ppm on the 3rd day after flower bud initiation induced a high degree of male sterility without affecting female fertility in sunflower. The time of application appears to be critical for the extent of sterility. For practical purposes, sterility in sunflower can be induced by spraying plants with 100 ppm GA at the rate of 0.5–0.75 ml per plant on the 30th and 40th day after sowing. This technique can be followed with good results in the production of small quantities of hybrid seed and also in top crosses where the combining ability is to be tested in a large number of inbreds.
The Impact of Human Capital on Labour Market: Lithuanian Case

Field: Economics, Econometrics and Finance (Social Sciences)

The labour market analysis with parallel determinants of the investment in human capital, specify the necessity to incorporate both internal and external labour markets (internal and external factors) and its mutual interaction. Internal labour market reflects the particular company's or organization's labour supply, demand for employees, the search strategy, approach to an employee. In its internal labour market company specifies employee's assignment for specific duties and responsibilities (micro level). Conditions of employment depends on the company's ongoing strategy, i.e. whether the company invests in its employees' human capital, their qualifications, training, establishment of career development opportunities, and efforts to reduce employee turnover, etc. Internal labour market contributes to the objective of maintaining staff: the employee will not look for another job if feels safe and valuable for an enterprise. Labour market and human capital are interrelated very closely. Wages depends on investment in human capital. Human capital consist of knowledge, skills and other characteristics (congenital and acquired), which depends on the individual and is determined by its productivity. The recognition that human capital is determined by an individual's ability to meet the labour market conditions, stands for thinking that years spent for studying, attending courses, training and others are appropriate investment for future – for the development of human capital.
Deep Learning Based Object Attitude Estimation for a Laser Beam Control Research Testbed

Field: Computer Science (Physical Sciences)

This paper presents an object attitude estimation method using a 2D object image for a Laser Beam Control Research Testbed (LBCRT). Motivated by emerging Deep Learning (DL) techniques, a DL model that can estimate the attitude of a rotating object represented by Euler angles is developed. Instead of synthetic data for training and validation of the model, customized data is experimentally created using the laboratory testbed developed at the Naval Postgraduate School. The data consists of Short Wave Infra-Red (SWIR) images of a 3D-printed Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) model with varying attitudes and associated Euler angle labels. In the testbed, the estimated attitude is used to aim a laser beam to a specific point of the rotating model UAV object. The attitude estimation model is trained with 1684 UAV images and validated with 421 UAV images not used in the model training. The validation results show the Root-Mean-Square (RMS) angle estimation errors of 6.51 degrees in pitch, 2.74 degrees in roll, and 2.51 degrees in yaw. The Extended Kalman Filter (EKF) is also integrated to show the reduced RMS estimation errors of 1.36 degrees in pitch, 1.20 degrees in roll, and 1.52 degrees in yaw.
Inbred Mouse Models in Cryptococcus neoformans Research

Field: Immunology and Microbiology (Life Sciences)

Animal models are frequently used as surrogates to understand human disease. In the fungal pathogen Cryptococcus species complex, several variations of a mouse model of disease were developed that recapitulate different aspects of human disease. These mouse models have been implemented using various inbred and outbred mouse backgrounds, many of which have genetic differences that can influence host response and disease outcome. In this review, we will discuss the most commonly used inbred mouse backgrounds in C. neoformans infection models.
Evaluation of neutrophil extracellular trap deregulated formation in pyoderma gangrenosum

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

Abstract Pyoderma gangrenosum (PG) is a neutrophilic dermatose (ND) characterized by a dense neutrophilic infiltrate in the affected tissue. Neutrophil extracellular traps (NETs) are web‐like structures released by neutrophils and composed of cytosolic and granule proteins assembled on a scaffold of decondensed chromatin. Very little is known about the role of NETosis in PG. Here, we assessed the possible implication of NETosis in the pathogenesis of PG by investigating the NETosis in the ulcers of 26 PG patients. We demonstrated that neutrophils in the PG skin lesions undergo an aberrant level of NETosis in 100% of the analysed cases ( N = 26). All control and abscess biopsies were instead negative for the NETosis. In addition, neutrophils from peripheral blood of PG patients showed a significantly higher rate of spontaneous, but not induced, NETosis. Overall, this study suggests that the NETosis may contribute to systemic inflammation and tissue destruction in PG, thus representing a possible novel therapeutic target.
Australian Nursing Informatics Competency Project

Field: Health Professions (Health Sciences)

A study of Australian nurses on their use of information technology in the workplace was undertaken by the Australian Nursing Federation (ANF) in 2007. This study of over 4000 nurses highlighted that nurses recognise benefits to adopting more information technology in the workplace although there are significant barriers to their use. It also identified gross deficits in the capacity of the nursing workforce to engage in the digital processing of information. Following the release of the study last year, the ANF commenced work on a number of key recommendations from the report in order to overcome identified barriers and provide opportunities for nurses to better utilise information technology and information management systems. One of these recommendations was to seek research funding to develop national information technology and information management competency standards for nurses. This project has now received Federal Government funding to undertake this development. This project is being developed in collaboration with the ANF and the Queensland University of Technology. This paper will discuss the methodology, development and publication of the Australian Nursing Informatics Competency Standards Project which is currently underway and due for completion in May 2009. The Australian Nursing Informatics Competencies will be presented at the conference.
IMMU-39. COMBINATION OF RADIOTHERAPY WITH A 4-1BB AGONIST ANTIBODY AND A TIM-3 APTAMER RESULTS IN ENHANCED SURVIVAL IN A DIPG MODEL

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

Diffuse intrinsic pontine gliomas (DIPGs) are aggressive pediatric tumors. Despite advances in targeted treatments radiotherapy remains as the standard treatment being just palliative. The lack of effective therapies represents a critical unmet need for many pediatric solid tumors. Cancer immunotherapy is an ideal alternative choice since the immune response is highly specific; it would persist along time creating memory and will get rid of infiltrative cells even if they are far away. 4-1BB is a major costimulatory receptor promoting the survival and expansion of activated T cells. Aptamers are high-affinity single-stranded nucleic acid ligands that exhibit remarkable affinity and specificity to their targets, comparable or exceeding that of antibodies. TIM-3 is a negative regulator of lymphocyte function that is involved in T-cell exhaustion. In this work we examined the anti-tumor effect of radiotherapy in combination with an agonist 4-1BB antibody and an aptamer against TIM-3. Of importance neither of the treatments resulted in fatal toxicities. Moreover, Combination treatment of 4-1BB with radiotherapy resulted in a significant improvement in survival in mice bearing DIPG orthotopic tumors when compared with single treatment. In addition, this combination led to long-term survivors (90 days). Currently we are performing rechallenge experiments in these animals. Further combination of radiotherapy, with the 4-1BB antibody and the TIM-3 aptamer, that released the immune suppression, is currently under study. At this point the combination between the three approaches showed lack of toxicity. Survival studies are on-going. Mechanistic studies performed on day 16 showed an increase in CD8 effector cells, a decrease in T-regulators Foxp3+ cells and an increase in INF-gamma expression suggesting the triggering of an antitumor-immune response. These results suggest that immuno-therapies approaches in combination with radiotherapy would be worth to explore in the treatment of deadly DIPGs.
Health technology assessment

Field: Health Professions (Health Sciences)

Health technology assessment (HTA) provides information about the effectiveness, costs and broader impact of health technologies to those who plan, administer or receive care in the national health system. ''Technology'' includes all interventions used to promote health, prevent and treat disease, and improve rehabilitation and long-term care. An HTA program addresses the questions to which patients and the national health systems need answers, by investigating four main factors: whether the technology (intervention) works, for whom and at what cost, and how it compares with alternatives. Health technology assessment is not simply another kind of research. It has a number of key features that are critical to its ongoing impact and distinguish it from research: it is policy oriented, it is interdisciplinary in its content and procedures, it summarizes information from databases/reviews and sometimes produces original data; moreover, those engaged in health technology assessment recognize the importance of disseminating and communicating the information acquired. Health technology assessment constitutes a bridge between the world of research and the world of decision-making, particularly policy-making, in health care.
Facilitating the circular economy: insights from novel supply network actors

Field: Business, Management and Accounting (Social Sciences)

Purpose This research studies circularity brokers, the economic actors facilitating the transition of companies towards circular operations. The purpose of this paper is to extend the understanding of “circular brokerage”, deriving from the concept of brokerage existing in network theory and applied to the specific context of the circular supply network. Recent papers have been devoted to particular facets of circular brokerage, with studies dedicated to circular incubators or platforms. This study proposes how these new actors can have a significant role in facilitating circular economy in general. Design/methodology/approach The methodology is qualitative using 17 semi-directed interviews with circularity brokers. The theoretical approach draws on the network view and builds on recent developments of the theory in the context of circular economy. Findings Circularity brokers support organisations and their networks, helping them to overcome the problems that stand in their way of adopting circular economy at different levels (micro, meso and macro). To do this, circularity brokers deploy a wide range of activities involving technical, methodological and relational skills. The study extends previous research by elaborating on the relationship between the position these actors occupy within their network and the benefits they can bring in terms of circularity. Originality/value This research provides evidence on the role of circularity brokers and moves the state of knowledge from a specific sector or cases to other sectors and a broader role beyond network position specifics. Network theory, with the constructs of broker exchanges and the influence of embeddedness, is used to develop theoretical implications.
Implementing maqasid sharia: Impact on stability of Indonesian Islamic banks

Field: Economics, Econometrics and Finance (Social Sciences)

Purpose – This study analyzes the relationship between maqasid sharia and the stability of Islamic banks in Indonesia.Methodology – This study uses annual balanced panel data of eight Islamic banks in Indonesia from to 2010-2020 and utilizes a random effects model (REM) approach with the generalized least squares (GLS) method. The dependent variable is the Z-score as a proxy for bank stability, and the independent variables are bank size, the maqasid index (MI), capital adequacy ratio (CAR), gross domestic product (GDP), inflation, and interest rate.Findings – This research reveals that the stability of Islamic banking in Indonesia decreased over the study period, whereas maqasid performance increased. Furthermore, this study shows that the maqasid index and GDP negatively influence the Z-score, while bank size and CAR have a positive influence. We found no influence of inflation or the interest rate on the Z-score. The negative impact of the Maqasid index denotes poor management and financing quality, which is linked to the slanted achievement of the three Maqasid objectives (education, justice, and maslahah) during the study period.Implications – Policymakers, industry, and academics can use the research findings as recommendations to strengthen the stability of Islamic banks and their role in promoting welfare.Originality – This study employs the maqasid index as a proxy for Islamic bank performance to analyze its influence on bank stability.
