Sabbath Keeping As A Virtue For Shalom, Elisabeth R. Kincaid

Journal of Religion and Business Ethics

Part of the failure of businesses to advance shalom can be traced to employee exhaustion. In this article, I argue for the retrieval of a broader understanding of Sabbath keeping practices, drawing on the Sabbath theology of Thomas Aquinas. I argue that understanding sabbath keeping as being primarily about the development of virtue rather than simply obedience to law makes Sabbath more attainable and more effective for transformation of workers seeking to advance shalom.

Dissecting The Interplay Of Protein Synthesis And Degradation Pathways In Cellular Adaptation To Stress, Brittany Friedson

Theses and Dissertations

Adaptation to stress requires cells to reprogram transcription, translation, and proteolytic pathways. Although much is known about the response of each program, it remains unclear how they coordinate following stress. My studies in S. cerevisiae identified the Cdk8 kinase module (CKM) of the Mediator complex as a new player in coordinating these processes. It is well established that the CKM consists of four highly conserved proteins (cyclin C, its cognate kinase Cdk8, and two structural proteins Med12 and Med13) and predominantly represses a subset of stress responsive genes in yeast. We demonstrated for the first time that the CKM also …

Immunoactive Signatures Of Circulating Trna- And Rrna-Derived Rnas In Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease, Megumi Shigematsu, Takuya Kawamura, Deepak Deshpande, Yohei Kirino

Computational Medicine Center Faculty Papers

Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is the most prevalent lung disease, and macrophages play a central role in the inflammatory response in COPD. We here report a comprehensive characterization of circulating short non-coding RNAs (sncRNAs) in plasma from patients with COPD. While circulating sncRNAs are increasingly recognized for their regulatory roles and biomarker potential in various diseases, the conventional RNA sequencing (RNA-seq) method cannot fully capture these circulating sncRNAs due to their heterogeneous terminal structures. By pre-treating the plasma RNAs with T4 polynucleotide kinase, which converts all RNAs to those with RNA-seq susceptible ends (5′-phosphate and 3′-hydroxyl), we comprehensively sequenced …

The Temporality Of The Aesthetic Appreciation Of Food And Beverages, Hiroki Fxyma

Contemporary Aesthetics (Journal Archive)

Taste and smell are gaining status in aesthetics, but theories concerning their basic appreciation are insufficient. This study aims to clarify the temporality of food and beverage appreciation. First, the temporality underlying this appreciation is classified into three categories: the time of the object, the time of the embodied cognition, and the time of the phenomenon. Next, four aspects of the time of the phenomenon are proposed: non-temporal, linear temporality, circular temporality, and point temporality. These four temporalities are not determined a priori but generated by the eater’s attention. This study provides a basis for discussing food and drink as …

Multi Attribute Neutrosophic Optimization Technique Foroptimal Crop Selection In Ariyalur District, Angammal S, Hannah Grace G, Nivetha Martin, Florentin Smarandache

Neutrosophic Sets and Systems

Ranking crops is a vital part of sustainable farming practices. A deliberate strategy that incorporates multi-criteria decision-making is essential for achieving sustainability in agriculture. The process of choosing crops involves a lot of unknowns and unpredictable elements. The neutrosophic set, characterized by the three independent degrees of truth (T), falsity (F), and indeterminacy (I), is more adept at handling incomplete data. The current study combines single-valued multi-criteria neutrosophic programming with the TOPSIS approach to examine the crop selection process in the Ariyalur district. This study incorporated expert advice and a thorough literature analysis to identify the fundamental criteria for developing …

The reason behind introducing Sc-open sets is to overcome the limitations of traditional open sets in handling uncertainty and vagueness prevalent in decision-making processes. Moreover, the paper makes significant contributions to the discussion of the concepts of soft topological spaces (STS) by utilizing Sc-open sets that investigate the theoretical foundations and mathematical properties of Sc-open sets, exploring their relationships with other soft open sets and soft topological concepts. Overall, the paper aims to provide a comprehensive understanding of STS and their properties …

Calcium Modulates The Tethering Of Bcor-Prc11 Enzymatic Core To Kdm2b Via Liquid-Liquid Phase Separation, Rui Chen, Feng Shen, Yulong Zhang, Mingze Sun, Yan Dong, Chen Su, Jinsong Liu, Jinxin Xu

Faculty, Staff and Student Publications

Recruitment of non-canonical BCOR-PRC1.1 to non-methylated CpG islands via KDM2B plays a fundamental role in transcription control during developmental processes and cancer progression. However, the mechanism is still largely unknown on how this recruitment is regulated. Here, we unveiled the importance of the Poly-D/E regions within the linker of BCOR for its binding to KDM2B. Interestingly, we also demonstrated that these negatively charged Poly-D/E regions on BCOR play autoinhibitory roles in liquid-liquid phase separation (LLPS) of BCORANK-linker-PUFD/PCGF1RAWUL. Through neutralizing negative charges of these Poly-D/E regions, Ca2+ not only weakens the interaction between BCOR/PCGF1 and KDM2B, but also promotes co-condensation of …

Addressing Dispersion In Mis-Measured Multivariate Binomial Outcomes: A Novel Statistical Approach For Detecting Differentially Methylated Regions In Bisulfite Sequencing Data., Kaiqiong Zhao, Karim Oualkacha, Yixiao Zeng, Cathy Shen, Kathleen Klein, Lajmi Lakhal-Chaieb, Aurélie Labbe, Tomi Pastinen, Marie Hudson, Inés Colmegna, Sasha Bernatsky, Celia M T Greenwood

Manuscripts, Articles, Book Chapters and Other Papers

Motivated by a DNA methylation application, this article addresses the problem of fitting and inferring a multivariate binomial regression model for outcomes that are contaminated by errors and exhibit extra-parametric variations, also known as dispersion. While dispersion in univariate binomial regression has been extensively studied, addressing dispersion in the context of multivariate outcomes remains a complex and relatively unexplored task. The complexity arises from a noteworthy data characteristic observed in our motivating dataset: non-constant yet correlated dispersion across outcomes. To address this challenge and account for possible measurement error, we propose a novel hierarchical quasi-binomial varying coefficient mixed model, which …
