Emergence Of Diversity Research Articles

Variasi Sebutan untuk Kucing dan Pemaknaannya dalam Akun Mention Confess (Menfess) @Kochengfs

Variations in the appellation of cat are created because cat is marked as something important for humans. One influential factor in the emergence of variations in the appellation is the existence of interaction spaces among cat lovers. One of them is menfess account @kochengfs. This research examines the various appellation for cat and their meanings in the menfess account @kochengfs. The purpose of this research is to describe the variation of appellations for cat and their meanings in the menfess account @kochengfs. This research is included in the qualitative descriptive research. This research uses a semiotic approach with the trichotomous relation theory from Peirce. The data source of this research comes from the mention confess (menfess) account @kochengfs with a corpus of research data in the form of 1,758 tweets taken from 17–24 February 2023. Based on the analysis, there are 214 tweets containing 37 appellations for cat. The appellations are dominated by icon signifying with a total of 24 appellations, then symbols with 12 appellations, and index only 1 appellation. Appellations with icon signifying are based on (a) body shape; (b) body hair; (c) voice imitation; (d) fur color; (e) teeth shape; and (f) physical characteristic.

Metastasis-directed therapy for oligometastases in breast cancer.

The concept of oligometastases was first proposed to describe a disease state between localized cancer and extensive metastasis. After the emergence of variations in the definition of oligometastasis, in April 2020 the European Society for Radiotherapy and Oncology and the European Organization for Research and Treatment of Cancer defined oligometastases as the presence of one to five metastatic lesions that can be safely treated. However, the pathogenesis of oligometastases remains unknown, and it is uncertain which patients will benefit from metastasis-directed therapy. Breast cancer with oligometastases is generally managed with systemic therapy. Retrospective studies have suggested that the addition of metastasis-directed therapy, such as surgery, radiofrequency ablation and stereotactic body radiation therapy, may increase overall survival in breast cancer patients with oligometastases, but as yet there have been no prospective studies. Phase II trials of stereotactic body radiation therapy or fractionated irradiation for oligometastases of breast cancer have demonstrated impressive rates of local control and overall survival. Although the efficacy of stereotactic body radiation therapy in the SABR-COMET was largely anticipated, it is noteworthy that only 18% of the patient population had breast cancer. For this reason, various trials were planned or are being conducted globally to investigate the efficacy of metastasis-directed therapy for oligometastases of breast cancer. Metastasis-directed therapy for oligometastases has been shown to be effective, and stereotactic body radiation therapy and other therapies are commonly used internationally and are considered to be safe. However, the efficacy of metastasis-directed therapy for oligometastases has not yet been proven. The results of future clinical trials are thus eagerly awaited.

KONTEKS KOMUNIKASI NETIZEN DI MEDIA SOSIAL: Studi Netnografi Komunikasi terhadap Perilaku Bermedia Netizen di Akun Instagram Jokowi

This article aims to explain the context of communication and media behavior of netizens on Jokowi's Instagram account. There are two fundamental problems behind this research, namely; 1) the high participation of netizens in responding to status and posts on Jokowi's account; 2) the emergence of variations in netizen comments in the form of support and hate speech. Therefore, to analyze in depth these problems, this research is supported by a qualitative approach with the ethnographic method of communication. This method is used to find the reasons (motives) and context of communication events that arise from the two virtual communities. The data or information needed in this study is based on the context of the speech community behavior that occurs in the comments column on Jokowi's Instagram account. Netizens who actively argued and gave statements in the comments column were analyzed with and concepts, namely the concept of maxim of wisdom and maxim of appreciation. There are groups or communities that like to give negative comments and there are also communities that give positive responses.

Ancestry Specific variation in neuropsychological disorders among the South Asian population

The enormous genetic diversity in South Asia resulting from a long and complex admixture history resulted in the emergence of variation in various traits and variations in disease susceptibility. Neuropsychological disorders are one such example that shows variation at the population level. In this study, we aimed at understanding the variation in neuropsychological disorders at the population level among South Asian populations by curating, comparing and contrasting single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs), known to be associated with the same. Whole-genome data comprising of 1662 South Asians, belonging to 241 distinct populations were obtained from the database of Dr. David Reich, Harvard Medical School, USA. Principal Component Analysis (PCA) revealed that the Ancestral Tibeto Burman (ATB) genomes form a distinct and distinguishable cluster for the SNPs known to be associated with neuropsychological disorders. Identical By Descent (IBD) analysis showed that out of the top seven populations in terms of IBD sharing, six are from Southern India indicating that these populations may have undergone a recent selective sweep for these SNPs. Further, out of the top ten genomes, according to the number of genomes fixed for the minor alleles, seven were from Southern India. Furthermore, several indigenous populations from South India depicted high F values (>0.25) for SNPs associated with neuropsychological disorders, indicating higher susceptibility for neuropsychological disorders among these South Indian populations. Interestingly, we found that most of the SNPs, fixed for the alternative alleles, were also found to be fixed among the ancient genomes from Indus Valley Civilization (IVC), indicating that these SNPs likely got transmitted to various modern-day South Indian populations from IVC.

Geographic Variation in Life-History Traits of Black Sea Bass (Centropristis striata) During a Rapid Range Expansion

The warming of the world’s oceans has resulted in the redistribution of many marine species globally. As species undergo range shifts, the expanding edge of the population often experiences novel environmental and demographic conditions that may result in the emergence of variation in life-history strategies. The northern stock of black sea bass, Centropristis striata, has recently expanded its distribution poleward, into the Gulf of Maine. Management has struggled to keep pace with this rapid range shift, in part, because very little is known about the expanding population. We compared life-history traits of black sea bass collected from 2013-2016 from the northern most point of the historic range of the northern stock (southern Massachusetts) to those from two areas in the newly expanded range (northern Massachusetts and Maine). We found significant differences in size, diet, condition, maturity and sex ratio between black sea bass from southern Massachusetts and the Gulf of Maine. Overall, sea bass in the newly expanded range consumed a less diverse diet and their condition was lower, but they reached maturity at a younger age. We also found greater length- and age-at-maturity estimates from all regions combined compared to the most recent black sea bass stock assessment which includes data from Cape Hatteras, NC to southern Massachusetts. This study represents initial observations of life-history traits of sea bass in its newly expanded range in the Gulf of Maine, and suggests that these sea bass exhibit life-history strategies that differ from their southern counterparts within their historic range. Given these findings, the stock assessment for the Northeast U.S. Continental Shelf black sea bass stock may not be adequate for sea bass in the Gulf of Maine. Studies investigating the expanding edge of economically valuable fishery species are needed to aid in ongoing and future efforts to assess and manage their stocks.

Banana diversity (Musa spp.) as a result of in vitro gamma ray irradiation based on morphological markers.

Abstract. Due MS, Yunus A, Susilowati A. 2019. Banana diversity (Musa spp.) as a result of in vitro gamma ray irradiation based on morpological markers. Pros Sem Nas Masy Biodiv Indon 5: 347-352. Banana is a horticultural commodity that has a high enough production so that it makes it a superior product in the country. Banana has long been domesticated by the community because it has many benefits. There are more than 200 banana cultivars growing in various regions, one of which is feather plantain. Banana plants are propagated vegetatively so that they have limitations in obtaining genetic variation and require a long generation time in their vegetative cycle. Improvements in the nature of banana plants can be done by increasing its genetic diversity through mutation induction using gamma ray physical mutagens combined with in vitro culture techniques.This study aims to find out the diversity of feather plantain as a result of in vitro gamma ray radiation based on morphological markers. This research is a type of experimental research using completely randomized design (CRD) method. The factors tested were 4 radiation doses (0 Gy, 10 Gy, 20 Gy and 30 Gy). Morphological observations are carried out based on quantitative and qualitative characters. The data obtained were analyzed using the SPSS ver. 10 and the NTSYS (Numerical Taxonomy and Multivariate Analysis System) program ver. 16. The result of this study shows that gamma ray radiation in various doses causes the emergence of variations in plants, especially in the stems and leaves. Gamma ray radiation at a dose of 30 Gy is the most optimal dose to produce diversity.

High light intensity plays a major role in emergence of population level variation in Arabidopsis thaliana along an altitudinal gradient.

Environmental conditions play an important role in the emergence of genetic variations in natural populations. We identified genome-wide patterns of nucleotide variations in the coding regions of natural Arabidopsis thaliana populations. These populations originated from 700 m to 3400 m a.m.s.l. in the Western Himalaya. Using a pooled RNA-Seq approach, we identified the local and global level population-specific SNPs. The biological functions of the SNP-containing genes were primarily related to the high light intensity prevalent at high-altitude regions. The novel SNPs identified in these genes might have arisen de novo in these populations. In another approach, the FSTs of SNP-containing genes were correlated with the corresponding climatic factors. ‘Radiation in the growing season’ was the only environmental factor found to be strongly correlated with the gene-level FSTs. In both the approaches, the high light intensity was identified as the primary abiotic stress associated with the variations in these populations. The differential gene expression analysis between field and controlled condition grown plants also showed high light intensity as the primary abiotic stress, particularly for the high altitude populations. Our results provide a genome-wide perspective of nucleotide variations in populations along altitudinal gradient and their putative role in emergence of these variations.

Single-cell growth and division dynamics showing epigenetic correlations

The emergence of variation and subsequent inheritance of the emergent characteristics in a clonal population of bacteria is considered as evidence for epigenetic processes in the cell. We report here the results of experiments in which we quantitatively examined variations in single Escherichia coli cells with an identical genetic endowment in order to establish whether certain characteristics of single cells were inherited by their descendants maintained in a uniform environment. Significantly large variations of interdivision time, initial length, and final length were observed from generation to generation. Comparing the generations shows that interdivision time had no correlation with that of the consecutive generations, whereas those of initial length and final length were positively correlated with those of neighbouring generations.

New Ways or Hidden Ways of Marketing? The Melbourne Mountain Bike Industry as an Exemplar of the Emergence of Variations on Traditional Marketing Orientation and the Emergence of Transitory Product Management Practices

Today's business and organisational community is well‐versed in the conventions of marketing orientation and the new product development process. Each is an integral component of both specialist texts on new product development (Crawford, 1997; Urban and Hauser, 1993; Hisrich and Peters, 1991; Kuczmarski, 1992) and generalist texts (Kotler, 1996; Stanton et al, 1994; McColl‐Kennedy et al, 1994; Kotler et al, 1994; McCarthy and Perrault, 1990). In the specialist texts, the new product development process can vary. For example, Crawford and Kuczmarski emphasise the contextualisation of the new product development process within a broader and preceding strategic or marketing planning emphasis than does Urban and Hauser. At the same time, some generalist work such as Kotler, McColl‐Kennedy et al, and Zikmund and d'Amico (1993) place decidely more emphasis on establishing a difference between the idea screening and product development stages. Nevertheless, the specialist texts concur on the general procedure being a linear one that involves eleven key stages. This is discussed in more detail in section 3.6.
