Pemafibrate Induces a Low Level of PPARα Agonist-Stimulated mRNA Expression of ANGPTL4 in ARPE19 Cell

To elucidate the unidentified roles of a selective peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor α (PPARα) agonist, pemafibrate (Pema), on the pathogenesis of retinal ischemic diseases (RID)s, the pharmacological effects of Pema on the retinal pigment epithelium (RPE), which is involved in the pathogenesis of RID, were compared with the pharmacological effects of the non-fibrate PPARα agonist GW7647 (GW). For this purpose, the human RPE cell line ARPE19 that was untreated (NT) or treated with Pema or GW was subjected to Seahorse cellular metabolic analysis and RNA sequencing analysis. Real-time cellular metabolic function analysis revealed that pharmacological effects of the PPARα agonist actions on essential metabolic functions in RPE cells were substantially different between Pema-treated cells and GW-treated cells. RNA sequencing analysis revealed the following differentially expressed genes (DEGs): (1) NT vs. Pema-treated cells, 37 substantially upregulated and 72 substantially downregulated DEGs; (2) NT vs. GW-treated cells, 32 substantially upregulated and 54 substantially downregulated DEGs; and (3) Pema vs. GW, 67 substantially upregulated and 51 markedly downregulated DEGs. Gene ontology (GO) analysis and ingenuity pathway analysis (IPA) showed several overlaps or differences in biological functions and pathways estimated by the DEGs between NT and Pema-treated cells and between NT and GW-treated cells, presumably due to common PPARα agonist actions or unspecific off-target effects to each. For further estimation, overlaps of DEGs among different pairs of comparisons (NT vs. Pema, NT vs. GW, and Pema vs. GW) were listed up. Angiopoietin-like 4 (ANGPTL4), which has been shown to cause deterioration of RID, was the only DEG identified as a common significantly upregulated DEG in all three pairs of comparisons, suggesting that ANGPTL4 was upregulated by the PPARα agonist action but that its levels were substantially lower in Pema-treated cells than in GW-treated cells. In qPCR analysis, such lower efficacy for upregulation of the mRNA expression of ANGPTL4 by Pema than by GW was confirmed, in addition to substantial upregulation of the mRNA expression of HIF1α by both agonists. However, different Pema and GW-induced effects on mRNA expression of HIF1α (Pema, no change; GW, significantly downregulated) and mRNA expression of ANGPTL4 (Pema, significantly upregulated; GW, significantly downregulated) were observed in HepG2 cells, a human hepatocyte cell line. The results of this study suggest that actions of the PPARα agonists Pema and GW are significantly organ-specific and that lower upregulation of mRNA expression of the DR-worsening factor ANGPTL4 by Pema than by GW in ARPE19 cells may minimize the risk for development of RID.

Multi-actor rural innovation ecosystems: Definition, dynamics, and spatial relations

Innovation Ecosystems (IE) is an emerging concept that highlights the evolution of a group of actors working around common practices, products, processes, actions, and initiatives. While we can find various definitions of urban innovation districts/ecosystems and common traits that coherently define them at the urban level, only a few scholars have focused on understanding and further defining Innovation Ecosystems in the rural context. While rural communities and territories can be a generative ground for Innovation Ecosystems, housing resources and capacities to become vibrant centres of innovation based on local heritage and resources, the activation of multi-actor Rural Innovation Ecosystems in these areas still remains a challenge. This article presents a proposal for defining Rural Innovation Ecosystem, departing from the main differences with the urban IE highlighting common traits and main differences in order to accelerate and better disseminate their establishment. The rural contexts present relevant characteristics in which innovation can thrive, such as dependencies and relationships represented by geographies, area of interested corresponding to sectors, and social, human and cultural capitals which harness the potential of all community members.

Bee-friendly interventions: the barriers and opportunities affecting urban residents’ conservation of wild bees in Gardens

Wild bees are experiencing population declines globally. Despite urbanisation replacing habitat and forage with synthetic materials, urban residential gardens have the potential to become pollinator hotspots, increasing bee diversity and abundance. We explored public knowledge and attitudes towards bees, and ‘bee-friendly’ interventions (BFIs) conducted by urban residents. We reviewed the motivations and barriers which influence or prevent this, using the town of Woking, England, as a case study. An online questionnaire was distributed in 2023 to residents with gardens or balconies. Results from 286 surveys showed 98.3% of respondents performed ≥ 1 BFI and the most common action was planting “pollinator-friendly” plants (75.9%). Sentiment towards bees positively correlated to the number of BFIs performed, and 94.8% of respondents felt positively about bees. Most participants indicated altruistic motivations behind their performance of BFIs.Implications for insect conservation: Though the public are altruistically motivated to undertake conservation for wild bees, and most are performing at least one BFI, lack of knowledge and understanding is the biggest barrier preventing conservation action. Governments, policymakers, and plant retailers should direct citizens to wild bee conservation organisations to engage and inform the public about bee ecology and improve habitat provision within neighbourhoods.

A methodological framework for assessing regional climate efforts. Learning from its application in Italy

In multi-level governance systems, regions are key actors in tackling climate change, acting as a bridging authority between the state and municipalities. Regions can provide a common framework and support local action, in particular through ad-hoc or mainstreamed mitigation and adaptation strategies. Despite this, their contribution to multi-level climate planning is still little explored in the scientific literature. This work proposes a methodological framework developed to comprehensively assess the climate efforts of regional governments, based on three dimensions: ambition, robustness, implementation and progress. Ambition qualifies the regions' commitment. Robustness assesses the evidence-based approach of the plan and its link with the regional sustainable development strategy, as well as the regions’ involvement in transnational networks. Implementation and progress, records the availability of indicators to provide evidence of the actions taken, monitor progress, and inform stakeholders. Applying the proposed methodology to the Italian multi-regional case study sheds light on the weaknesses that limit the impact of climate action, while defining the factors that enhance climate performance. The results show that transnational networks can raise the level of ambition for mitigation, but less so for adaptation, where there are no quantitative targets or fixed target years. A science-based approach and a strong link to the regional sustainable development strategy provide a good degree of robustness, while tracking implementation and progress remains the most challenging factor. Good practices were also identified, based on the successful experiences of some Italian regions, which can be profitably transferred between regional authorities, but also to other sub-national governments.

Avoiding repetitive mistakes: Understanding post-error adjustment in response to head fake actions

Head fake is a common deceptive action in basketball that can effectively disrupt opponents and induce errors. This study investigated post-error behavioral adjustment and neural changes associated with head-fake action and related action cues across different response‒stimulus intervals (RSIs). Participants were asked to respond to the central target player's pass direction, ignoring the head direction of the target person and the flankers. The results revealed that the participants exhibited longer reaction times in the flanker (or head) incongruent condition compared to the flanker (or head) congruent condition. The results also revealed that the participants slowed their responses following an error in response to an action cue, indicating the presence of the post-error slowing (PES) effect. Moreover, the PES effect was greater at short RSI than at long RSI. The results of Event Related Potentials (ERPs) revealed that the participants exhibited a greater amplitude of error-related negativity (ERN) but a smaller amplitude of error positivity (Pe) following an error at a short RSI than at a long RSI. Collectively, these findings suggest that people can exhibit post-error slowing following an error response to action cues. Moreover, the RSI may affect the speed of response after an error and early error processing and erroneous evidence accumulation, as a processing bottleneck exists for a short time after an error. These findings offer insights into sports strategies and behavior modification.

Temporal Structure of Bouts in Men’s Olympic Boxing: Featherweight, Lightweight, Welterweight, Light Heavyweight, and Heavyweight Categories

Background: Men’s Olympic boxing follows a regulatory temporal structure, but previous studies have shown that this structure varies during competitions. However, these investigations have not thoroughly analyzed the differences in bout development according to weight category. Additionally, most studies have focused on a limited number of categories, leaving gaps in the temporal analysis of various categories. Aim: To determine the temporal structure in the featherweight, lightweight, welterweight, light heavyweight, and heavyweight categories of men’s Olympic boxing, in order to establish models that can help adjust training to meet competitive demands. Methods: An observational approach was used, analyzing 73 bouts involving 80 boxers who competed in the 2020 Tokyo Olympic Games. Results: Most bouts ended after the completion of the full regulation time across all categories. The most common actions were short punching sequences (two to five punches), occurring mainly in the center of the ring. Differences between weight categories were minimal, with the welterweight category showing the most variability. Conclusion: This study presents temporal models that will help coaches and boxers adjust their training with greater precision, improving the efficiency of training sessions according to competitive objectives.

Forecasting Electric Vehicle Adoption in the USA Using Machine Learning Models

Electric vehicles (Electric Vehicles) are at the vanguard of the global dispensation to sustainable transportation, depicting a pivotal step toward diminishing greenhouse gas emissions and reliance on fossil fuels. Notwithstanding, the adoption of Electric Vehicles has been growing in the USA, but their future remains at a crossroads. The objective of the research is to design and execute machine learning models capable of providing accurate predictions of future trends in electric vehicle adoption in the USA. The dataset gathered for analyzing EV adoption in the USA comprises data across three primary categories: environmental data, economic indicators, and policy-related data. The economic indicators include household income, fuel prices, electricity rates, and lithium battery costs that affect EV purchasing power obtained from the U.S. Census Bureau and the U.S. Energy Information Administration (EIA). Environmental data include greenhouse gas emissions and air quality indices from the EPA, providing information on regional environmental conditions that might affect EV attractiveness. Other policy data included federal and state incentives such as tax credits, rebates, and EV infrastructure data, collected from the U.S. Led by the U.S. Department of Energy's Alternative Fuels Data Center and the Energy Laboratory, additional EV sales trends were pulled from databases of the automotive industry. In this research project, credible and proven machine learning models were employed, most notably, Linear Regression, Random Forest, and XG-Boost. The performance of the models was tested for EV adoption prediction by considering a few important metrics: Mean Absolute Error (MAE), Root Mean Squared Error (RMSE), and R-squared (R²). From the model performance metrics presented, the Gradient Boosting Regressor and Random Forest models performed far better by a big margin than Linear Regression. The prediction models, particularly, the Random Forest regressors and Gradient Boosting regressors demonstrated incredible forecasting of electric vehicle adoption. The model works excellently on the premise that historical data with relevant features can be utilized to gain some valuable insight into future trends. Policy-makers interested in stimulating the wider use of electric vehicles can ensure that targeted policies address both current barriers and future demands. Results of this analysis suggest incentives, such as tax credits, rebates, and subsidies, are some of the most common actions to reduce the upfront cost of an EV, a key circumventing factor in the choice that many consumers face.

Intersectionality in the activity of lesbian and feminist movements in Ukraine

The article defines manifestations of the concept of intersectionality between Ukrainian feminist and lesbian movements. The research is based on the results of theoretical analysis and results of 13 semistructured in-depth interviews with 13 Ukrainian activists of feminist and lesbian movement from Kyiv, Kharkiv, Lviv, Uzhhorod, Odesa, Zaporizhzhia, Zhytomyr and Kherson, who were involved in feminist and lesbian movements in different periods – from the end of the 1990s to the beginning of the 2000s, in the mid-2000s and after 2014. As a result, the patterns of intersectionality between these two movements were defined.The concept of intersectional was defined in the mid-20th century by the American researcher Kimberle Crenshaw. It involved the rethinking of the concept of identity and social inequality under the influence of diverse individual experiences and socially significant characteristics. This concept became fundamental for the activity of new social movements at the end of the 20th century, in particular lesbian and feminist ones that are interrelated due to common resistance practices, ideological aspects, and people’s potential as well as the topic of the fight for women’s rights.Ukrainian feminist and lesbian movements are not exceptions, as they have manifested this intersectionality since their establishment as public social movements in Ukraine after the collapse of the USSR in 1991. This feature makes them different from the movements in countries of Western Europe and the USA, where lesbians used to be excluded from the mainstream feminist movement.After the analysis of in-depth interviews with activists of feminist and lesbian movements, it was defined that intersectionality between feminist and lesbian movements in Ukraine can be defined in ideological, thematical and practical aspects – common ideological basis, resistance practices represented in demonstrations, common actions, significant dates and topics, that prove that these 2 movements are interrelated and interconnected.

Coordinating Standard Procedures of Disciplinary Actions to Conflict Resolution Techniques to Facilitate Conducive Working Environment in Zamboanga Sibugay Division

Ensuring a productive and happy work environment in educational institutions requires effective management of employee discipline and conflict resolution. This study fills in the knowledge gap about how Zamboanga Sibugay school administrators handle conflicts and use disciplinary measures. It aims to provide insights into better administrative tactics by assessing the efficacy of these practices and their effects on the workplace. This study uses a mixed-methods approach to evaluate how school administrators handle disciplinary measures and resolve conflicts. Structured questionnaires were utilized to gather quantitative data, and interviews with school officials yielded qualitative insights. The data was analyzed using statistical methods such as t-tests and z-tests, which revealed significant differences and correlations in the use of these practices. Results of the study showed that formal written warnings, formal disciplinary sessions, and verbal warnings are routinely used by school administration as forms of discipline, and the most common disciplinary action is suspension or loss of privileges, whereas termination is the least common. Furthermore, the most often used conflict resolution strategies include compromise, problem-solving teamwork, and compromise. Lastly, there were minimal relationships between the two sets of data, but significant variations were observed in the implementation of disciplinary actions and dispute-resolution strategies. The study concludes that although Zamboanga Sibugay school administrators generally follow established disciplinary procedures and conflict resolution strategies, there are variances in how they implement them. The most common disciplinary measure is suspension or loss of privileges, while the most common method of resolving conflicts is compromise. The results emphasize the necessity of a more coordinated strategy to improve company culture and successfully resolve conflicts. The study thus recommends modifications to improve organizational culture and offers insights into the effectiveness of present methods.

From Elitism to Civilianization: The Mobilization of "Civilian Hero Narratives" in Public Crises

Initiating large-scale social mobilization in public crisis management is a unique advantage and an effective means for the state to prevent and resolve major risks, but due to the extreme lack of cases of positive social mobilization in crises, the mechanism of achieving effective social mobilization is not clear, and there is an urgent need for the theoretical and practical communities to summarize empirical experiences of achieving positive social mobilization in crisis management. Based on this, through the empirical analysis of the rescue cases of Chongqing mountain fire, we find that the media's "civilian hero" narrative in crisis management breaks the rigid pattern of "hero deification" and "elite propaganda" in traditional disaster reports, and is based on the "civilian hero" character narrative, "emotional mobilization" narrative theme and "individual presentation" perspective strategy, which is able to construct a public crisis "heroism" faith consensus, social mobilization resonance and common action. The media's "civilian hero" narrative has become a precise fulcrum for prying the lever of social mobilization, providing a new path for modern social crisis management.

Adverse Actions and Malpractice Payments in Dentistry in the State of Michigan

Objective: Current practicing dentists in Michigan may not be well versed with the topic of adverse actions taken by the Michigan Dental Board and malpractice claims against dental practitioners. This research reviews these topics more carefully ultimately aiming to better dentistry. Method: The National Practitioner Data Bank (NPDB) provides publicly available information which assists in analysing current trends in adverse actions and malpractice payment reports in the state of Michigan. Data was extracted for the period between 1990 to 2022, and visualizations were developed to identify trends. Results: NPDB data inferred that there has been a decline in the number of malpractice payment reports over the past three decades, but adverse actions have a fluctuating trend in recent years. The loss or revoking of licensure being the most common adverse action taken. Furthermore only 32.65% cases out of these licensure loss cases were reinstated. Conclusion: There is a need for intervention with regard to the adverse action reports, which have been fluctuating but largely trending upwards since 2002, as they are detrimental to the successful growth of the dental profession as a whole. The goal of this project is to emphasize the necessity of evidence-based dentistry in practice. Dentists must understand the need to prevent the rise in malpractice trends and strive to deliver the best possible care.

Air Quality Sensor Experts Convene: Current Quality Assurance Considerations for Credible Data.

Air sensors can provide valuable non-regulatory and supplemental data as they can be affordably deployed in large numbers and stationed in remote areas far away from regulatory air monitoring stations. Air sensors have inherent limitations that are critical to understand before collecting and interpreting the data. Many of these limitations are mechanistic in nature, which will require technological advances. However, there are documented quality assurance (QA) methods to promote data quality. These include laboratory and field evaluation to quantitatively assess performance, the application of corrections to improve precision and accuracy, and active management of the condition or state of health of deployed air quality sensors. This paper summarizes perspectives presented at the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency's 2023 Air Sensors Quality Assurance Workshop (https://www.epa.gov/air-sensor-toolbox/quality-assurance-air-sensors#QAworkshop) by stakeholders (e.g., manufacturers, researchers, air agencies) and identifies the most pressing needs. These include QA protocols, streamlined data processing, improved total volatile organic compound (TVOC) data interpretation, development of speciated VOC sensors, and increased documentation of hardware and data handling. Community members using air sensors need training and resources, timely data, accessible QA approaches, and shared responsibility with other stakeholders. In addition to identifying the vital next steps, this work provides a set of common QA and QC actions aimed at improving and homogenizing air sensor QA that will allow stakeholders with varying fields and levels of expertise to effectively leverage air sensor data to protect human health.

ON THE DEVELOPMENT OF ECONOMIC RELATIONS AND ORIGIN OF GRAPHIC SIGNS (ACCORDING TO ARCHAEOLOGICAL MATERIALS DATED BACK TO 3.3 MILLION – 10,000 YEARS AGO)

In this paper, the issues of economic relations, origin and development of graphic signs are discussed. In this regard, socio-economic eras and “Upper Paleolithic Revolution” are covered, which show how a person is formed in the process of obtaining livelihood. The Paleolithic Age – the period when people followed “natural farming” is researched. The development of productive forces expanded the knowledge of nature, especially about the useful properties of natural resources. These qualities were manifested through the means of labor in affecting the objects of labor in the process of production, which contributed to the association of men and the division of labor in order to obtain, by common action, the objects of labor. This process arised and developed languages, abstraction, conventional graphic signs, etc. Keywords: economic relations, socio-economic eras, Paleolithic Age, Upper Paleolithic Revolution, graphic signs

A systematic review of indications when and how a military walking blood bank could bridge blood product unavailability.

Blood supply problems in remote areas are well known. To overcome this shortage, many countries have developed innovative walking blood bank (WBB) protocols. However, no common standards have yet been set for their use and common actions. Given that these procedures involve a certain risk, it would be interesting to analyse the activating criteria that lead to using this unusual protocol. Thus, this review aimed to identify indications for a WBB and the common risk mitigation measures. This PRISMA-compliant review only included studies published from 1985 to 25th of January 2023 that describe adult male military casualties requiring blood transfused locally using a walking blood transfusion protocol. All relevant data (i.e., activation and contextual factors and risk mitigation measures) were tabulated to retrieve information from the selected military studies. Our results indicated that activation criteria were homogeneous across the 12 reviewed studies. Whole blood was collected from a WBB when there was a shortage of blood products and when platelets were needed. In the literature reviewed, the main risks associated with such a protocol, namely hemolytic adverse events and transfusion transmitted diseases, are mitigated by the use of typing and screening measures if they are reported. However, there is less consistency in the implementation of those risk mitigation measures. This unusual protocol needs to be integrated into the medical support plan until conventional transfusion support can take over, and should include on-site blood collection from a donor, whether a WBB or an emergency donor panel. The benefits of such a protocol outweigh the risks in a life-threatening situation, especially since these risks can be anticipated and minimised by planning to pre-screen all potential donors before their deployment. Finally, educating and training the staff who must implement this unusual procedure can also improve the safety and survival rate of future patients.

Between Authority and Usurpation? Common Good and Constitutional Government

Abstract The classical tradition of law and government supports lawful authority and condemns usurpation. But the common good sometimes provides a reason to sweep aside existing constitutional arrangements. This article considers the way in which authority and usurpation feature in Adrian Vermeule’s recent book, Common Good Constitutionalism, and thus reflects on the nature of constitutional government. Vermeule’s work combines a commendable philosophy of government with a questionable philosophy of legal reasoning, which weakens the force of Vermeule’s account of American constitutional law and practice. Reflection on the scope of the common good—on whose common good counts—has important implications for how, and for whom, authority should be exercised. Collective agency is important in securing the common good and representative democracy is an important means to unite a people in common action for their good. Constitutional government should aim to command popular support. Forms of constitutional government are contingent, but usurpation of lawful public authority is an evil that should be avoided.

Saudi Higher Education Accreditation: From Policy to Practice: Cultural Inquiry into Saudi Academics' Practices During the Implementation of Accreditation Standards

This paper investigates the relationships between Saudi cultural factors and the practices associated with the implementation of accreditation standards in Saudi higher education institutions (HEIs). Through a qualitative study involving document analysis, interviews, and observations, data was collected from a sample of 33 academic leaders and faculty members at three Saudi universities. The findings reveal a strong correlation between cultural elements and the practices of Saudi academics during the accreditation process. Using a social practice theory (SPT) approach, the study demonstrates how cultural issues influence common practices and actions, highlighting the integration of Saudi identity, traditions, and contemporary values in the implementation methods. The research underscores the importance of cultural awareness in addressing the gap between policy and practice, suggesting that modifications to accreditation guidelines should consider these cultural factors. The study also discusses the positive impact of recent educational reforms and the empowerment of women in supporting the accreditation process. These insights aim to enhance the effectiveness of accreditation efforts in Saudi Arabia, ensuring they meet international standards while respecting the local cultural context.

Review on Challenges of Nutrition Intervention Research at Workplace

Workplace nutrition interventions have become a popular approach to improving employee health and well-being. Nonetheless, such interventions require special attention to ethical aspects to ensure participant well-being, research integrity, and long-term benefits. A literature review was carried out using leading research databases, such as PubMed, Scopus, and Google Scholar. Keywords used include "ethical considerations", "workplace", "nutritional intervention", and "study". Only studies published within the last ten years were included in this review. Each study was analyzed to identify common ethical issues and actions taken to address those issues. The results of the review indicate that key ethical issues in workplace nutrition intervention studies include participant privacy and confidentiality, informed consent, balancing risks and benefits, and potential bias and conflicts of interest. Some studies suggest that employees may feel pressured to participate because of company policies or social expectations. Additionally, several studies revealed deficiencies in data protection and transparency regarding the use of participant data. From the results of the review, it is important to ensure that informed consent is provided clearly and free from pressure. Studies must also ensure the protection of participants' privacy and confidentiality. Furthermore, there is a need to carefully assess the risks and benefits of any nutritional intervention, as well as avoid potential bias in research design and implementation. This review suggests that ethics in studies of workplace nutrition interventions require significant attention. Best practices include strong informed consent, privacy protection, and careful risk evaluation.
