The Importance Of Geosites And Heritage Stones In Cities—A Review, P De Wever, F Baudin, D Pereira, Et Al

School of Geography, Earth and Environmental Sciences

Geology, as a scientific discipline, is often viewed as most applicable in high mountains or in deserts or coastal areas—or more generally in ‘natural areas’ where rock exposures are most conspicuous—and, therefore, not to be experienced by most visitors and tourists. In contrast, most geoscientists are convinced that geology can be practised on an everyday basis, as it is part of our daily life as a facet of the natural environment that humans have used for 100 s of thousands of years. Even in places where the natural world seems far from its original condition, one can still experience geology. …

Ph-Dependent Fluorescent Probe That Can Be Tuned For Cysteine Or Homocysteine, Yongkang Yue, Fangjun Huo, Xiaoqi Li, Ying Wen, Tao Yi, James C. Salamanca, Jorge O. Escobedo, Robert Strongin, Caixia Yin

Chemistry Faculty Publications and Presentations

The very close structural similarities between cysteine and homocysteine present a great challenge to achieve their selective detection using regular fluorescent probes, limiting the biological and pathological studies of these two amino thiols. A coumarin-based fluorescent probe was designed featuring pH-promoted distinct turn-on followed by ratiometric fluorescence responses for Cys and turn-on fluorescence response for Hcy through two different reaction paths. These specific responses demonstrate the activity differences between Cys and Hcy qualitatively for the first time. The probe could also be used for Cys and Hcy imaging in living cells.

Assembling Barbarity, Dirt, And Violence: A Provisional Note On Food And Social Analysis, Macario B. Lacbawan

Asia-Pacific Social Science Review

The key to understanding any social phenomenon is to follow how actors tread the social landscape and describe how they form groups, fuse meanings, and create associations with different frames. In this paper, I employ Bruno Latour’s reconceptualization of assemblage to trace how NGOs and other actors create assemblages by fusing or defusing dog-eating with discourses on dirt, epidemic, and human rights. More specifically, NGOs such as LinisGobyerno and Animal Kingdom Foundation (AKF) produce assemblages that align dog-eating with sanitation, violence, and epidemic. Conversely, supporters of the practice try to invert these claims by foregrounding dog-meat consumption as an entitlement …

Competing For Legitimacy: Agrarian Policy Legitimation In The People’S Republic Of China From 1956 To 1983, Anthony Lawrence A. Borja

Asia-Pacific Social Science Review

Agrarian policy trends from 1956 to 1983 emerged from a legitimation process amplified by both the revolutionary background and factional politics of the People’s Republic of China. However, the process is not clear-cut but is characterized by an interweaving of various factors, specifically, factional politics, legitimacy, and the results and thrusts of agrarian policies. Thus, this paper asks the question, “what are the dimensions of policy legitimation that framed the publicized struggle of competing elites for policy content and consistency?” To shed light on this issue, this paper would make more specific inquiries on the nature of the relationship between …

Winner's Curse Correction And Variable Thresholding Improve Performance Of Polygenic Risk Modeling Based On Genome-Wide Association Study Summary-Level Data, Jianxin Shi, Ju-Hyun Park, Jubao Duan, Sonja T. Berndt, Winton Moy, Kai Yu, Lei Song, William Wheeler, Xing Hua, Debra Silverman, Montserrat Garcia-Closas, Chao Agnes Hsiung, Jonine D. Figueroa, Victoria K. Cortessis, Nuria Malats, Margaret R. Karagas

Dartmouth Scholarship

Recent heritability analyses have indicated that genome-wide association studies (GWAS) have the potential to improve genetic risk prediction for complex diseases based on polygenic risk score (PRS), a simple modelling technique that can be implemented using summary-level data from the discovery samples. We herein propose modifications to improve the performance of PRS. We introduce threshold-dependent winner’s-curse adjustments for marginal association coefficients that are used to weight the single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in PRS. Further, as a way to incorporate external functional/annotation knowledge that could identify subsets of SNPs highly enriched for associations, we propose variable thresholds for SNPs selection. We applied …

Influence Of Maternal Breast Milk Ingestion On Acquisition Of The Intestinal Microbiome In Preterm Infants, Katherine E Gregory, Buck S Samuel, Pearl Houghteling, Guru Shan, Frederick M Ausubel, Ruslan I Sadreyev, W Allan Walker

Faculty, Staff and Students Publications

BACKGROUND: The initial acquisition and early development of the intestinal microbiome during infancy are important to human health across the lifespan. Mode of birth, antibiotic administration, environment of care, and nutrition have all been shown to play a role in the assembly of the intestinal microbiome during early life. For preterm infants, who are disproportionately at risk of inflammatory intestinal disease (i.e., necrotizing enterocolitis), a unique set of clinical factors influence the establishment of the microbiome. The purpose of this study was to establish the influence of nutritional exposures on the intestinal microbiome in a cohort of preterm infants early …

Perbandingan Klaim Penyakit Katastropik Peserta Jaminan Kesehatan Nasional Di Provinsi Dki Jakarta Dan Nusa Tenggara Timur, Heniwati Heniwati, Hasbullah Thabrany

Jurnal Ekonomi Kesehatan Indonesia

Several diseases that become catastrophic at the household level include end-stage renal disease, cardiovascular diseases, cancer, thalassemia, and hemophilia. Patients with these diseases benefit significantly from the National Health Insurance (JKN), and these conditions absorb high claim costs from JKN.

Harmonization Of The Aviation Sector Within President Jokowi’S Maritime Policy:A Way To Promote Pioneer Flights, Ridha Aditya Nugraha

Jurnal Hukum & Pembangunan

As the biggest archipelagic state in the world, the Indonesian government has been aware of the importance of both air and sea transportation in connecting the remote islands with the main islands and thus developing the economy. However,it could not be denied that for many years the country had been trapped within a transportation policy favoring land over the aviation and maritime sectors. It thus came as a relief when the current government announced a pro-maritime transportation policy as their main priority. While this pivot is certainly welcome, it still fails to address the other ‘life line’ of the Indonesian …

A Response To The Libertarian Critics Of Open-Borders Libertarianism, Walter Block

Lincoln Memorial University Law Review Archive

Libertarians are split on the controversial issue of immigration (as is the rest of the population). The open borders libertarians claim that immigration is not a per se violation of the bedrock of libertarianism, the non-aggression principle (NAP); therefore, any violent interference with cross-border travel, such as limits to immigration, is incompatible with this philosophy. Their opponents within this community of scholars maintain the very opposite; that free untrammeled migration amounts to trespass. Their case, of late, has been strengthened by the debacle in Germany, Sweden and other European nations who have taken in migrants by the thousands, and have …
