Understanding the role of humans as 'ecosystem engineers' requires a deep-time perspective rooted in evolutionary history and the fossil record. However, no conceptual framework exists for studying the rise of ecosystem engineering in deep time, requiring us to consider effects that fall outside the scope of traditional definitions. Here, we present a new framework applicable to both modern and ancient engineering-type effects. We propose a new term - 'Earth system engineering' - to describe biological processes that alter the structure and function of planetary spheres, and which combines core tenets of ecosystem engineering, niche construction, and legacy effects. We illustrate …

Modeling Social Evolution, Involution, And Indeterminacy: A Neutrosophic-Cultural Algorithm Approach, Antonios Paraskevas, Florentin Smarandache

Neutrosophic Sets and Systems

Neutrosophic Sociology, or Neutrosociology, is the study of sociology using neutrosophic scientific methods for understanding the dynamics of social systems within complex environments. When a social change occurs, the society evolves with respect to some parameters, regresses with respect to others, and remains the same or experiences an unclear change (indeterminacy) with respect to another set of parameters. This mirrors neutrosophic logic: true (��), neutral or indeterminate (ℐ), and false (ℱ). The main concept of cultural algorithms is a generalization of the idea that evolution has at its base both racial learning within species and social learning within human societies. …

A Novel Method For Examining Autistic Children’S Comprehension Of Individual Words Produced Within Delayed Echolalia: A Proof-Of-Concept Pilot Study, Janine Mathee-Scott, Grace Corrigan, Emily Lorang, Zachary Hesse, Jennifer Johnson, Courtney E. Venker

Speech Pathology and Audiology Faculty Research and Publications

Delayed echolalia, or the repetition of previously heard speech, is often observed in the expressive language of autistic children. Relatively little is known about how the production of delayed echolalia fits within the overall picture of autistic children’s language ability, including receptive language. To date, no empirical studies have tested autistic children’s comprehension of individual words within their delayed echoes. The present study aimed to establish proof-of-concept for a novel method of examining children’s comprehension of individual words that they produce in their own delayed echoes. Using natural language sampling combined with parent report, we identified instances of delayed echolalia …

Neurodevelopmental Abnormalities Underlying Behavioral Deficits In A Model Of Pediatric Obstructive Sleep Apnea, Arvind Chandrakantan, Michael R Williamson, Vaishnav Krishnan, Mahyar J Hedayatpour, Adam C Adler, Nandani Adyapak, Chris S Ward, Russell Ray, David Durgan, Farrah Kheradmand, Benjamin Deneen

Faculty, Staff and Students Publications

Rationale: Pediatric Obstructive Sleep Apnea (POSA) is a relatively common childhood sleep disorder whose neurodevelopmental phenotype includes deficits in learning and memory, olfaction, and fine motor abilities.

Objectives: To date, there has not been a validated preclinical model of POSA, hampering efforts in understanding how nocturnal episodes of intermittent hypoxia disrupt neurodevelopmental trajectories. The objective of this study was to create a faithful sculpting of the human condition in a preclinical murine model.

Methods: We used clinical data from children with POSA to develop and validate a mouse model of POSA that faithfully recapitulates several behavioral deficits seen in the …

The Efficacy Of Longevity Interventions In Caenorhabditis Elegans Is Determined By The Early Life Activity Of Rna Splicing Factors, Sneha Dutta, Maria Camila Perez Matos, Caroline Heintz, Ayse Sena Mutlu, Mary Piper, Meeta Mistry, Arpit Sharma, Christopher S Morrow, Hannah Smith, Porsha Howell, Rohan Sehgal, Anne Lanjuin, Meng C Wang, William B Mair

Geroscience aims to target the aging process to extend healthspan. However, even isogenic individuals show heterogeneity in natural aging rate and responsiveness to pro-longevity interventions, limiting translational potential. Using RNAseq analysis of young, isogenic, subpopulations of Caenorhabditis elegans selected solely on the basis of the splicing pattern of an in vivo minigene reporter that is predictive of future life expectancy, we find a strong correlation in young animals between predicted life span and alternative splicing of mRNAs related to lipid metabolism. The activity of two RNA splicing factors, Reversed Polarity-1 (REPO-1) and Splicing Factor 1 (SFA-1), early in life is …

The Relationship Of St6gal1 With Clinicopathological And Prognostic Factors In Breast Carcinomas, Ethem Ömeroğlu, Abdülhalim Serden Ay, Tuğba Günler, İlknur Küçükosmanoğlu, Sümeyye Kozacıoğlu

Saudi Medical Journal

Objectives: To investigate the association of β-galactoside α2-6 sialyltransferase 1 (ST6GAL1) expression with hormone receptor (HR), human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2), and other clinicopathological parameters, including histological grade, stage, lymphovascular invasion, perineural invasion, and survival in breast carcinomas (BCs). Methods: This study included 85 patients who had undergone surgery for breast cancer (BC). The associations of HR, HER2 status, and histopathologic tumor characteristics with immunohistochemical expression of ST6GAL1 were analyzed. Results: The majority (48 [56.5%]) of patients were in the T2 stage, and no association was seen between staging and ST6GAL1 ( p <0.05). Further, 44 (54.2%) patients were HR positive, and most of them exhibited high ST6GAL1 levels ( p =0.001), whereas 44 (51.8%) were HER2 negative, and most of them demonstrated low ST6GAL1 levels ( p =0.007). Ki-67 of ≥20% was observed in 55 (64.7%) and <20% in 30 (35.3%) patients. Most of those with high Ki-67 demonstrated low-grade STLGAL1 expression; however, no correlation was detected between the two values ( p =0.378). High and low ST6GAL1 expressions were observed in 39 (45.9%) and 46 (54.1%) cases, respectively. Conclusion: This research is one of the first studies to use ST6GAL1 in preoperative biopsies of patients not scheduled for neoadjuvant treatment. This study revealed highly significant associations of ST6GAL1 expression with HR, HER2, and molecular subtyping. Future studies are recommended to clarify the possible role of ST6GAL1 in resistance to HR and HER2-targeted and other chemotherapeutic agents in BCs.

A Comprehensive Discussion On Fuzzy Hypersoft Expert, Superhypersoft, And Indetermsoft Graphs, Takaaki Fujita

Neutrosophic Sets and Systems

Graph theory, a branch of mathematics, studies relationships among entities through vertices and edges. To capture the inherent uncertainties in real-world networks, Uncertain Graph Theory has evolved within this field. Soft Expert Graphs combine conventional graph theory with expert assessments, using fuzzy sets for vertices and edges, while allowing expert opinions to shape the uncertainties and relationships within the graph. Hypersoft Graphs extend this concept further by incorporating multi-attribute nodes that represent multiple distinct attribute values, enabling the modeling of more complex, multi-dimensional relationships. In this paper, we define the Hypersoft Expert Graph and explore its connections to other classes …

Competition, Comity, And Confusion: Reconciling The Ftaia’S Import Exclusion With Its Direct Effects Provision, Elliot Lam

Fordham Law Review

The debate surrounding the Sherman Act’s extraterritorial scope represents a tension between two competing objectives: protecting the U.S. economy from foreign anticompetitive conduct on one hand and respecting the sovereign authority of other nation-states on the other. Applying U.S. law abroad risks undermining sovereign authority by regulating foreign economies, though such regulation appears necessary in some cases to protect U.S. consumers.

Congress’s attempt to square these objectives through enacting the Foreign Trade Antitrust Improvements Act of 1982 (FTAIA) failed to settle the matter. The statute left courts with two new questions: how to distinguish “import” from “nonimport” commerce, and how …

Multilevel Selection In The Margins: A Review Of Its Representation In Undergraduate Biology Textbooks, C. A. Greene, S. J. Mcpeek, L. Mitchem, A. B. Clark, Vincent A. Formica

Biology Faculty Works

Multilevel selection (MLS) is a foundational framework that expands the concept of natural selection beyond the traditional focus on individuals or genes to larger units, like groups. Despite strong empirical support and applications in a broad range of biological fields, MLS, often referred to as group selection, has a controversial history, which has impeded its wide use and led to incorrect inferences on the sources and strength of selection. Here, we explore how MLS is currently presented to undergraduate biology students by analyzing the content of nine commonly used Evolutionary Biology and Animal Behavior textbooks. We ask whether and how …

Killing Through Their Kids, Dyllan Moreno Taxman

William & Mary Law Review

In early 2024, James and Jennifer Crumbley were sentenced to over a decade in prison after their son, Ethan, shot and killed four classmates at Oxford High School in Michigan. The Crumbley parents incurred manslaughter liability by ignoring Ethan’s deteriorating mental state, gifting him the murder weapon, and failing to act on concerns about Ethan’s behavior on the day of the shooting. The Crumbleys were the first parents of a school shooter to be convicted of a homicide in American history. This Article suggests they will be far from the last. Indeed, less than one year after the Crumbley convictions, …

The Genomes Of Nematode-Trapping Fungi Provide Insights Into The Origin And Diversification Of Fungal Carnivorism, Yani Fan, Minghao Du, Weiwei Zhang, Wei Deng, Ence Yang, Shunxian Wang, Luwen Yan, Liao Zhang, Seogchan Kang, Jacob L Steenwyk, Zhiqiang An, Xingzhong Liu, Meichun Xiang

The Brown Foundation: Institute of Molecular Medicine

Nematode-trapping fungi (NTF), most of which belong to a monophyletic lineage in Ascomycota, cannibalize nematodes and other microscopic animals, raising questions regarding the types and mechanisms of genomic changes that enabled carnivorism and adaptation to the carbon-rich and nitrogen-poor environment created by the Permian-Triassic extinction event. To address these questions, we conducted comparative genomic analyses of 21 NTF and 21 non-NTF. Carnivorism-associated changes include expanded genes for nematode capture, infection, and consumption (e.g., adhesive proteins, CAP superfamily, eukaryotic aspartyl proteases, and serine-type peptidases). Although the link between secondary metabolite (SM) production and carnivorism remains unclear, we found that the number …

Redefining Central Nervous System Multiple Myeloma: From Rare Phenomenon To Emerging Entity, Ian Landry, Adam F. Binder, Marc Yorker, Sarah Ramirez

Department of Medical Oncology Faculty Papers

BACKGROUND: Central nervous system involvement in multiple myeloma (CNS-MM) is considered a rare but devastating manifestation of extra-medullary disease (EMD) associated with aggressive biology and dismal outcomes. Treatment advances over the past few decades have improved survival in patients with MM, however, it has not translated into a similar survival benefit for those with CNS-MM. Early recognition and targeted management of CNS-MM remain major clinical challenges.

OBJECTIVE: This literature review summarizes the current literature on epidemiology, risk factors, clinical features, diagnostic modalities, and therapeutic approaches to CNS-MM. It focuses on emerging biomarkers and new treatment options that may affect the …

Deciphering Rna Modification And Post-Transcriptional Regulation With Netrnapan, Haodong Xu, Wankun Deng, Ruifeng Hu, Binfeng Liu, Wenchao Zhang, Lujuan Wang, Lin Qi, Xiaolei Ren, Chao Tu, Zhihong Li, Zhongming Zhao

Faculty, Staff and Student Publications

RNA modification, which is evolutionarily conserved, is crucial for modulating various biological functions and disease pathogenesis. High resolution transcriptome-wide mapping of RNA modifications has facilitated both data resources and computational prediction of RNA modification. While these prediction algorithms are promising, they are limited in interpretability or generalizability, or the capacity for discovering novel post-transcriptional regulations. Here, we present NetRNApan, a deep learning framework for RNA modification site prediction, motif discovery and trans-regulatory factor identification. Using m5U profiles generated by FICC-seq and miCLIP-seq technologies and single-base resolution m6A sites from multiple experiments as cases, we demonstrated the accuracy of NetRNApan with …

Buy Better: How Food Policy Councils Leverage Procurement To Improve Food Worker Conditions, Frank Sarfo, Laura-Anne Minkoff-Zern, Jonnell A. Robinson

The Lender Center for Social Justice

Food system workers; farm laborers, grocery clerks, restaurant staff, and food processors are the backbone of our everyday meals, yet their voices are largely missing from the councils that shape local food policy. Despite being essential to food security and community health, these workers face low wages, poorworking conditions, and limited protections. Food Policy Councils (FPCs), which aim to advance equity and sustainability in food systems, rarely prioritize labor issues. The study, drawing on national survey data and interviews with over 25 FPC leaders, finds that structural constraints, internal conflicts, limited capacity, and weak connections with labor organizations prevent meaningful …
