Mismatch between media coverage and research on invasive species: The case of wild boar (Sus scrofa) in Argentina

Plos.org 

by Sebastián A. Ballari, M. Noelia Barrios-García

Invasive species are a pervasive driver of global change with increasing media coverage. Media coverage and framing can influence both invasive species management and policies, as well as shed light on research needs. Using the wild boar (Sus scrofa) invasion in Argentina as a case study, we conducted a content analysis of media coverage and scientific articles. Specifically, we compared news and scientific articles based on their emphasis... Читать дальше...

Effectiveness of brief mindfulness intervention for college students’ problematic smartphone use: The mediating role of self-control

by Fengbo Liu, Zhongqiu Zhang, Shuqiang Liu, Zhantao Feng

Background

Mainland China has the most smartphone users worldwide, especially among college students, while mindfulness intervention can significantly alleviate the level of problematic smartphone use. We examined the effects of a brief mindfulness intervention on problematic smartphone use and investigated if this effect is mediated by self-control.

Methods

Participants were recruited randomly from a university in Beijing of China. Читать дальше...

Trichuris WAP and CAP proteins: Potential whipworm vaccine candidates?

Plos.org 

by Eleanor Wainwright, Rebecca K. Shears

Trichuris trichiura and T. suis are gastrointestinal dwelling roundworms that infect humans and pigs, respectively. Heavy infections cause gastrointestinal symptoms and impaired growth and development. Vaccination has the potential to reduce the disease burden of whipworm infection; however, there are currently no commercially available vaccines against these parasites and very few against other gastrointestinal-dwelling nematodes of medical and agricultural importance.

Evaluating the efficacy of various traps in catching tsetse flies at Nech Sar and Maze National Parks, Southwestern Ethiopia: An Implication for Trypanosoma Vector Control

Plos.org 

by Netsanet Asfaw, Berhanu Hiruy, Netsanet Worku, Fekadu Massebo

Tsetse flies are the vector of protozoan parasite of the genus Trypanosoma, the causative agent of human African sleeping sickness and animal trypanosomiasis. Traps such as Nguruman (NGU), biconical and sticky traps are in use for tsetse flies sampling and monitoring. However, there is no evidence regarding their comparative efficiency in catching flies using olfactory cues. Therefore, the present study aimed to evaluate the... Читать дальше...

Safeguarding Drosophila female germ cell identity depends on an H3K9me3 mini domain guided by a ZAD zinc finger protein

Plos.org 

by Laura Shapiro-Kulnane, Micah Selengut, Helen K. Salz

H3K9me3-based gene silencing is a conserved strategy for securing cell fate, but the mechanisms controlling lineage-specific installation of this epigenetic mark remain unclear. In Drosophila, H3K9 methylation plays an essential role in securing female germ cell fate by silencing lineage inappropriate phf7 transcription. Thus, phf7 regulation in the female germline provides a powerful system to dissect the molecular mechanism underlying H3K9me3 deposition onto protein coding genes.

Integrating unsupervised language model with triplet neural networks for protein gene ontology prediction

Plos.org 

by Yi-Heng Zhu, Chengxin Zhang, Dong-Jun Yu, Yang Zhang

Accurate identification of protein function is critical to elucidate life mechanisms and design new drugs. We proposed a novel deep-learning method, ATGO, to predict Gene Ontology (GO) attributes of proteins through a triplet neural-network architecture embedded with pre-trained language models from protein sequences. The method was systematically tested on 1068 non-redundant benchmarking proteins and 3328 targets from the third Critical... Читать дальше...
