Age-associated microglial transcriptome leads to diminished immunogenicity and dysregulation of MCT4 and P2RY12/P2RY13 related functions by Martin Škandík, Lara Friess, Guillermo Vázquez-Cabrera, Lily Keane, Kathleen Grabert, Mireia Cruz De los Santos, Mercedes Posada-Pérez, Austeja Baleviciute, Mathilde Cheray, Bertrand Joseph

“…Our findings revealed that aged microglial cells, in comparison to their younger counterparts, acquire a distinct gene expression profile, primarily characterized by alterations in microglial immune response. Indeed, pro-inflammatory stimulated aged and young BV-2 microglia exhibited similar transcriptomic profiles, yet the response intensity to the stimulus was markedly muted in the aged microglia. …”

Hydra Radio Access Network (H-RAN): Multi-Functional Communications and Sensing Networks, Initial Access Implementation, and Task-2 Approach by Rafid I. Abd, Daniel J. Findley, Kwang Soon Kim

“…Furthermore, conventional RANs typically require considerable manual tuning and configuration, making them time-consuming and costly. Indeed, while the potential of H-RAN networks encompasses numerous improvements and innovations across various aspects of next-generation technologies, this paper addresses the initial access implementation and data transmission approaches under the non-line-of-sight (NLoS) of the <inline-formula> <tex-math notation="LaTeX">$\text {level}_{1}$ </tex-math></inline-formula> case study. …”

High trophic similarity between non-native common carp and gibel carp in Turkish freshwaters: Implications for management by Sadi Aksu, Özgür Emiroğlu, Paride Balzani, J. Robert Britton, Esengül Köse, Irmak Kurtul, Sercan Başkurt, Oğuzcan Mol, Emre Çınar, Phillip J. Haubrock, Pinar Oztopcu-Vatan, Ali Serhan Tarkan

“…Considering the ongoing stocking of common carp for fishery enhancement, we recommend to specifically target these stockings in waters where gibel carp has already become invasive. Our findings, indeed, suggest that common carp releases have the potential to hamper invasive gibel carp populations by increasing the competitive interactions between the two species.…”

Pouvoir politique et pouvoir religieux. L’exploitation de la Sanusiyya au sein de la Libye indépendante (1951-1958) by Carlotta Marchi

“…Based on the examination of European archival sources, this paper aims to reconstruct the process of metamorphosis and exploitation of the Sanusiyya within the United Kingdom of Libya from 1951 to 1958, as well as to study its causes and consequences and its role as instrument of political legitimisation within the reign. Indeed, in the case of independent Libya, it can be argued that the Sanussi Islam represented a form of political power management within the national-state paradigm. …”

Presenting a Leadership Empowerment Model through Sense-making by Using the Cognitive and Behavioral Scripts by Hamid Zare, Aliasghar Pourezzat, Hasan Zareei Matin, Arezoo Salmani

“…In today’s era, which is characterized by a remarkably rapid pace of information transmission, distinguishing between good and bad decisions becomes particularly challenging, especially in the face of ongoing crises and environmental changes that introduce significant complexity to the process of sense-making. Indeed, in many scenarios, an individual’s perception of reality can hold more significant implications than reality itself. …”

The Interpretation is the Message. Komposition als angewandte Interpretation bei György Kurtág by Tom Rojo Poller

“…. // At first sight, it seems fairly appropriate to apply standard music-analytical tools to the music of György Kurtág, since this music is deeply rooted in the tradition of European art music. Indeed, there are various dimensions of Kurtág’s music which can be plausibly explained with the help of established analytical categories: the omnipresent references and allusions by the concept of intertextuality, the foundations of compositional craftsmanship by historically informed analyses of musical structures, semantic contents by hermeneutical approaches. …”

A green forage diet enhances microbial diversity in buffalo rumen by Angela Salzano, Giovanna Bifulco, Alfio Calanni Macchio, Valentina Longobardi, Francesca Aragona, Giovan Maria Pacelli, Giuseppe Campanile

“…Al though the abundant microbial taxa of the rumen are not affected by the experimental diet, we observed a significant increase in rare species and an overall increase in total biodiversity in the Green group. Indeed, at the order level, the Peptostreptococcales-Tissierellales, Veillonellales-Selenomonadales, and Bradymonadales groups showed statistically significant differences (p<0.05), with the former bacteria being more abundant in the Dry group and the other two in the Green group. …”

End-to-End Stroke Imaging Analysis Using Effective Connectivity and Interpretable Artificial Intelligence by Wojciech Ciezobka, Joan Falco-Roget, Cemal Koba, Alessandro Crimi

“…While the pipeline includes a classification module for distinguishing between stroke patients and healthy controls, the focus is on the interpretation of these directed graphs, which reveal critical disruptions in connectivity. Indeed, the classification led to an area under the curve of 0.69 by using graph convolutional networks, 0.72 by using local topological profiling random forest, and 0.71 by using support vector machine with the given heterogeneous dataset. …”

Melt inclusion bubbles provide new insights into crystallisation depths and CO2 systematics at Soufrière Hills Volcano, Montserrat by TiVonne A. Howe, Thomas E. Christopher, Thomas E. Christopher, Séverine Moune, Séverine Moune, Hugh Tuffen, Federica Schiavi

“…Here, we present a new dataset of volatile (H2O and total CO2) and major element concentrations in plagioclase- and orthopyroxene-hosted SHV MI, that span almost all of the eruptive activity (Phases 1, 2, 4, and 5), and include the first measurement of bubble-hosted CO2 for SHV and indeed the Lesser Antilles Arc. Analyses were conducted using Raman spectroscopy, ion microprobe, and electron probe analysis. …”

Hypermethylation in Calca Promoter Inhibited ASC Osteogenic Differentiation in Rats with Type 2 Diabetic Mellitus by Lei Wang, Feng Ding, Shaojie Shi, Xingxing Wang, Sijia Zhang, Yingliang Song

“…Meanwhile, it could significantly enhance the formation of ALP and calcium nodules in ASCs-T2DM, increase the expression of osteogenesis-related genes in vitro, and promote the healing of calvarial defects of T2DM rat in a concentration-dependent manner. 5-az intervention indicated that the reduction of the methylation level in Calca target fragment of ASCs-T2DM indeed escalated the gene expression, which may be related to DNMT1. …”
