RNase Y mediates posttranscriptional control of the virulence-associated CncR1 small-RNA in Helicobacter pylori by Federico D’Agostino, Eva Pinatel, Alexandra Meynhardt, Vincenzo Scarlato, Andrea Vannini, Davide Roncarati

“…Interestingly, we found that RNase Y is involved in the metabolism of CncR1, a virulence-associated sRNA oppositely modulating bacterial motility and adhesion to host cells. Indeed, RNase Y inactivation led to the accumulation of a 3′-extended CncR1 isoform, which appeared unable to interact in vitro with a known target mRNA. …”

Solid Acids from Persulphated and Perchlorated Physical Mixtures of Zirconium and Titanium Hydroxides by Gamal M.S. El Shafei, Christine A. Philip

“…The adsorption of perchlorate or persulphate anions (as 0.05, 0.1, 0.2 or 0.4 M aqueous solutions) before calcination did not inhibit crystallization; however, perchlorate anions activated the formation of rutile in addition to the predominant anatase phase. Indeed, the adsorption of perchlorated anions prior to calcination allowed the thermodynamically less stable tetragonal phase of zirconia to be detected in addition to monoclinic zirconia at ambient temperature. …”

Intrinsic Apoptosis Pathway in Fallopian Tube Epithelial Cells Induced by Cladribine by Ewelina Wawryk-Gawda, Patrycja Chylińska-Wrzos, Marta Lis-Sochocka, Kamila Bulak, Barbara Jodłowska-Jędrych

“…Results suggest that cladribine also induces apoptosis in the oviduct epithelial cells by way of the intrinsic pathway. Indeed, the discontinuing of the administration of cladribine leads to a reduction in the amount of apoptotic cells in the oviduct epithelium.…”

High-risk Pseudomonas aeruginosa clones harboring β-lactamases: 2024 update by Verónica Roxana Flores-Vega, Santiago Partida-Sanchez, Miguel A. Ares, Vianney Ortiz-Navarrete, Roberto Rosales-Reyes

“…Carbapenem-resistant Pseudomonas aeruginosa is defined by the World Health Organization as a “high priority” in developing new antimicrobials. Indeed, the emergence and spread of multidrug-resistant (MDR) or extensively drug-resistant (XDR) bacteria increase the morbidity and mortality risk of infected patients. …”

Gut Inflammation and Immunity: What Is the Role of the Human Gut Virome? by Alfredo Focà, Maria Carla Liberto, Angela Quirino, Nadia Marascio, Emilia Zicca, Grazia Pavia

“…Nevertheless, the size of the human virome is still poorly understood. Indeed the enteric virome is in a continuous and dynamic equilibrium with other components of the gut microbiome and the gut immune system, an interaction that may influence the health and disease of the host. …”

Targeting Endothelial Dysfunction in Vascular Complications Associated with Diabetes by Arpeeta Sharma, Pascal N. Bernatchez, Judy B. de Haan

“…Overwhelming evidence from clinical and laboratory investigations have demonstrated that these cardiovascular complications are initiated by a dysfunctional vascular endothelium. Indeed, endothelial dysfunction is one of the key events that occur during diabetes, leading to the acceleration of cardiovascular mortality and morbidity. …”

Analyse des freins à l’adoption des SPOC en classes inversées by Narjes Sassi, Caroline Cloonan

“…Despite these advantages, setting up flipped classrooms using Small Private Online Course (SPOC) may suffer from some resistance from teachers and students.Indeed, obstacles to the adoption of these new pedagogical methods can hinder its advantages. …”

A response to criticism of the global mental health movement. How polarization can be overcome in theory and in west African social psychiatric practice by Michael Huppertz

“…Since the turn of the 21st century, we have seen the development of an international movement that works in various ways to ensure that everyone in the world has access to adequate mental health care. There is indeed a great need for action, especially in countries with weak and underfunded health systems. …”

‘Viral’ Hunts? A Cultural Darwinian Analysis of Witch Persecutions by Hofhuis Steije, Boudry Maarten

“…We will argue that cultural Darwinism can indeed resolve long-standing socio-cultural puzzles; this is demonstrated through a cultural Darwinian analysis of the European witch persecutions. …”

Quantification of soil losses using RUSLE model in the Boumlal watershed (Central Rif, Morocco) by El Ouazani Ech-Chahdi Khadija, El-Bouhali Abdelaziz, Amyay Mhamed

“…The results indicate that Boumlal watershed is characterized by high sediment production. Indeed, more than 40% of the watershed produces a considerable amount of sediment exceeding 50 t/ha/year, with soil losses reaching over 200 t/ha/year in some parts of the study area. …”

« J’ai lu votre livre » by Marion Marx

“…We will be trying to retrace the journey of the writer, from the initial feeling of exclusion to the need to create, via the literary space, new motifs (the « woman-island ») and new places (another Lesbos) of symbolic reunion with these authors. Indeed, this long letter, written in French, adopts the form of a true poetic meditation, at least doubly addressed: to Natalie Clifford Barney and, secondly and implicitly, to Sappho. …”

Prebiotic Geochemical Automata at the Intersection of Radiolytic Chemistry, Physical Complexity, and Systems Biology by Zachary R. Adam, Albert C. Fahrenbach, Betul Kacar, Masashi Aono

“…If the systems biology attributes of the cell were indeed templated upon prebiotic synthetic relationships between subcellular objects, it is not obvious how to categorize object levels below the cell in ways that capture any hierarchies which may have preceded living systems. …”

“Squeezing Case(s)” with Melville: A Haptic Reading of “The Whiteness of the Whale” by Édouard Marsoin

“…It then examines how, in “The Whiteness of the Whale,” the visual becomes palpable. Indeed, through a singular, underlying focus on textures, Ishmael’s discourse on whiteness performs a simultaneous, equally valid though contradictory alternative to what it says, and a haptic reading of it enables us to squeeze a sense of touch out of this intensely visual chapter. …”

Espaces publics et mixité culturelle, pour un renouvellement du tourisme tunisien by Saloua Toumi, Roland Vidal

Une île impossible : l’utopie néo-humaine comme diagnostic du lien social contemporain chez Michel Houellebecq by Alice Bottarelli, Colin Pahlisch

“…The science fiction intertext which he calls upon allows him to echo numerous reflections from past and present authors, who before him used the genre of utopia to think about the “public sphere”, its codes of communication, and the notion of social links. Indeed, the genre has very soon served as a tool to question the quality of people’s social life, and the utopian novel has been a space where authors could offer a diagnosis of “social pathologies” (the term is borrowed from Axel Honneth). …”

Entropic imprints on bioinformatics by Ismail Mageed

“…This paper reviews the significant impact of entropy in steering Bioinformatics giant steps ahead through analyzing biological data, such as reconstructing how genes interact and understanding bacterial metabolism and much more. Indeed, the steering hand of entropy in Bioinformatics was arguably in question for many decades until the start of the exploratory era of depicting the phenomenal applicability of entropy in interdisciplinary fields of human knowledge, especially Bioinformatics. …”
