Beyond Human Intelligence: Redefining Intelligence, Jens Pohl

Architecture

The digital revolution driven by global connectivity, computing as a utility, artificial intelligence, and information sharing on an unprecedented scale is forcing the redefinition of intelligence in a broader context that extends beyond human intelligence. This paper addresses the principal characteristics of biological intelligence, as it exists on planet Earth and the form it may take in an extraterrestrial context. Human intelligence, as the most evolved form of biological intelligence on Earth, is treated as the aggregation of multiple intelligences that cannot be encapsulated in a single metric such as an Intelligence Quotient (IQ). The concept of a postbiological civilization …

Alterations In Some Biochemical Parameters In Cattle Affected With Foot And Mouth Disease In Dakahlia Governorate, Egypt, Eman Kamal, Mohamed Salama, Nabil Abo Heakal

Mansoura Veterinary Medical Journal

This study was carried out to evaluate the changes in serum biochemical parameters during foot and mouth disease (FMD) viral infection, so blood samples were collected from different farms in Dakahlia Governorate during the outbreak of the disease in 2016. Blood samples were collected after complete clinical and physical examination of twenty five cattle; their ages were ranging from 1-2 years and divided into two groups as follows: 15 cattle were showing the clinical signs of the disease and 10 cattle were clinically healthy (control group). The obtained results showed a significant increase in glucose level (P<0.01), non-esterified fatty acids (NEFA) (P<0.001), beta hydroxyl butyric acid (BHBA) (P<0.001) and lipase enzyme (P<0.01) in infected cattle compared to control group. On the other hand, serum insulin concentration and amylase were significantly lower in blood of infected cattle than control group (P<0.001) and (p < 0.01) respectively. from the obtained results it could be concluded that FMD infection in cattle is associated with hyperglycemia, hypoinsulinemia and ketosis.

Differentiation Of Nestin-Positive Mesenchymal Stem Cells Into Insulin Producing Cells, Sahar Rashed, Mahmoud Gabr, Abdel-Aziz Abdel-Aziz, Mahmoud Zakaria

Mansoura Veterinary Medical Journal

Diabetes constitutes a worldwide epidemic affecting all ethnic groups. Stem cell therapy provides an effective way to regenerate insulin-producing cells lost during the disease. Accordingly, we isolated and compared the differentiation ability of nestin rich bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) into insulin producing cells (IPCs) with the nestin poor counterpart. The purity of the isolated populations was evaluated by immunofluorescence then, cells were differentiated into IPCs. At the end of differentiation, cells were evaluated by expression of pancreatic endocrine genes, immunofluorescence as well as the release of human insulin and c-peptide according to increasing glucose concentrations that showed a …

Understanding The Broader Horizon Of Sexual Encounter: A Case Study On Sexual Engagement Among Filipino Teens, Dalmacito A. Cordero

Asia-Pacific Social Science Review

The sexual morality of Filipino teenagers is in great decline based on the many cases of unwanted pregnancy, the spread of sexually transmitted diseases (STD), liberality in sexual behaviors, and many other evident consequences. This is a very important concern for many families, school administrators, church authorities, and other involved institutions. With this unfortunate situation, it is easier to judge how our teens have immersed themselves in the river of sexual immorality. But the question is, do we really understand what led them to commit such an unacceptable act in this traditional Christian- dominated culture like ours? Have we scrutinized …

Exploring The Role Of Rna Polymerase Iii Complex Assembly On Ribosomal Dna Silencing In Saccharomyces Cerevisiae, Kyle Thomas Kern

LSU Doctoral Dissertations

The yeast rDNA region is host to a number of transcriptional regulatory elements, which work in conjunction to generate essential RNA subunits of ribosomes, as well as protecting the region from DNA damage. The role of RNA polymerase III complex binding at the 5S gene on rDNA silencing in the NTS2 region was investigated, both by use of a TY1:MET15 reporter insert and a MET15 gene integration at an endogenous SphI site. It was discovered that Pol III complexes do have an effect on reporter expression in the NTS2 region, though the specific effect was different based on the method …

Oral Health Related Quality Of Life, Dental Care Utilization, And Serostatus Disclosure Among Hiv-Positive Women In The Women’S Interagency Hiv Study (Wihs) Cohort, Carrigan Parish

Open Access Dissertations

Persons living with HIV are more likely than HIV-negative individuals to experience oral health problems, yet are also more likely to have unmet dental care treatment needs. Dental needs among HIV-positive individuals can also be more severe and difficult to manage compared to the general population, often contributing to the onset of opportunistic oral infections. Furthermore, dental problems in patients with HIV can be associated with low CD4 counts and poor immune function. Due to the underutilization of dental services, oral health problems and symptoms, especially those that are related to HIV infection, remain prevalent in this population. Neglected dental …

The Convention on Biological Diversity(CBD) commits its 196 nation partiesto conserve biological diversity, useits components sustainably, and sharefairly and equitably the benefits fromthe utilization of genetic resources. Thelast of these objectives was further codifiedin the Convention’s Nagoya Protocol (NP),which came into effect in 2014. Althoughthese aspirations are laudable, the NP andresulting national ambitions on Access andBenefit Sharing (ABS) of genetic resourceshave generated several national regulatoryregimes fraught with unintended consequences(1). Anticipated benefits from thecommercial use of genetic resources, especiallythose that might flow to local or indigenouscommunities because of regulatedaccess to those resources, have largely beenexaggerated and not yet realized.

Climate Change Impacts On Western Reservoir Operations: A Case Study Of Bull Run Watershed, Portland, Oregon, Nima Fayaz

Theses - ALL

Climate change has the potential to alter the quantity and timing of runoff, which may pose significant challenges for the reservoir management. This study evaluates the projected climate impact on the reservoir system of Portland, Oregon. Using sixteen climate models spanning four emission scenarios, the performance reservoir operating policies and their sensitivity to the choice of GCMs and time periods are assessed. Use of historical rule curves for reservoir operations results reduces forecast reliability for future periods. This general trend for decreasing forecast reliability for future periods is not sensitive to the choice of GCM. Regardless of the selected reservoir …
