Background and objectives: Whole transcriptome gene expression data from microarray and next-generation sequencing (NGS) have made possible for large-scale data analysis for biomarker discovery and pathogenesis. IgA nephropathy (IgAN) is the most popular nephritis in eastern Asia and in the world, but its pathogenesis has not been fully elucidated. We hereby study the gene cluster expression abnormality of IgAN compared to other kidney diseases and healthy controls using tissue microarray data.

The Islamist group ISIS has been particularly successful at recruiting Westerners as terrorists. A hypothesized explanation is their simultaneous use of two types of propaganda: Heroic narratives, emphasizing individual glory, alongside Social narratives, which emphasize oppression against Islamic communities. In the current study, functional MRI was used to measure brain responses to short ISIS propaganda videos distributed online. Participants were shown 4 Heroic and 4 Social videos categorized as such by another independent group of subjects. Persuasiveness was measured using post-scan predictions of recruitment effectiveness. Inter-subject correlation (ISC) was used to measure commonality of brain activity time courses across individuals. ISCs in ventral striatum predicted rated persuasiveness for Heroic videos, while ISCs in mentalizing and default networks, especially in dmPFC, predicted rated persuasiveness for Social videos. This work builds on past findings that engagement of the reward circuit and of mentalizing brain regions predicts preferences and persuasion. The observed dissociation as a function of stimulus type is novel, as is the finding that intersubject synchrony in ventral striatum predicts rated persuasiveness. These exploratory results identify possible neural mechanisms by which political extremists successfully recruit prospective members and specifically support the hypothesized distinction between Heroic and Social narratives for ISIS propaganda.

The focus of this paper is a suite of Latin papers from 1685, some of which are still unpublished, in which Leibniz writes in the guise of a Catholic in order to defend Catholicism and counter Protestant objections, and this despite him being a lifelong Lutheran. After providing an overview of these writings (which I refer to as Leibniz’s “Catholic” writings) and the grounds for dating them to May–June 1685, I consider their purpose, arguing against the claim that they were intended to support Church reunion and suggesting instead that they were apologetic in nature, intended as a reactivation or reimagining of Leibniz’s earlier “Catholic Demonstrations” project. I identify the patron Leibniz had in mind for these writings as Landgrave Ernst von Hessen-Rheinfels and support this by a detailed comparison of the “Catholic” writings with the Leibniz-Landgrave correspondence and the Landgrave’s still-unpublished essays. This reveals that the Protestant arguments Leibniz uses in the “Catholic” writings are the very ones that he himself used when writing to the Landgrave, and that the responses Leibniz gives to these arguments are the very ones that the Landgrave used. I also consider the context of the writings, suggesting they were crafted during a period of personal uncertainty for Leibniz and possibly aimed at securing a position under the Landgrave.

INSETOS COMESTÍVEIS UM RECURSO NATURAL E RENOVÁVEL COMO SUPLEMENTO ALIMENTAR, 2015

The overpopulation of the planet estimated in more than seven billion people and the anthropic action affect the main supplies for natural resources. It becomes necessary the search for new and less damaging sources for food production and entomophagy (the consumption of insects in the human diet) may be one of the ways, since insect meat is compound of the same nutrients found on the traditionally consumed vertebrates. The aim of this study was to analyze which species of insects fit the human diet and which are the countries that already make use of them. Through bibliographical survey on the digital databases, such as Scielo, Google Academic and Medline, it was found out that among the innumerous species of insects already catalogued, more than 1900 are used as food source by almost three thousand ethnic groups. The consumption stands out in Asia, Africa and Latin America (especially in Mexico). The more consumed insect groups are beetles (Coleoptera) (31%); moth and butterfly larvae (Lepidoptera) (18%); bees, wasps and ants (Hymenoptera) (14%); followed by grasshoppers and crickets (Orthoptera) (13%); true bugs (Hemiptera) (10%); termites (Isoptera) (3%); dragonflies (Odonata) (3%); including flies (Diptera) (2%) and other orders (5%) which demonstrate the variety of food sources available. In nutritional terms they are source for high quality proteins and nutrients and in most cases they contain elevated vitamin concentration as is the case of the ant Atta cephalotes (Linnaeus, 1758), with a protein content of 42,59% against 23% in chicken meat and 20% in bovine meat, in addition to be considered tasty by their consumers. In this study, it is concluded that the current production of food demands large water consumption, availability of large farming areas, among other natural resources and generate a considerable emission of greenhouse effect gases, making the insects a viable alternative with an energy conversion rate superior to that of the vertebrates, less emission of greenhouse effect gases and less consumption of natural resources when compared to the traditional food production, offering minerals, vitamins and proteins, being an important and appetizing dietary resource, with the possibility to supply for the nutritional deficiency of the population in many countries, and counting with the diversity of native species from each region for that.

Plato's Republic is one of those books about which it can seem hard to say anything new-yet over the course of Poetic Justice, a daring and ingenious interpretation that is already proving influential within political theory, Jill Frank says so many new things that it is hard to know where to begin. The headline news may be that Plato is not the elitist that so many have taken him to be: far from advocating epistocracy, whereby cultural and political authority is vested in an educated minority deemed to know best, the Republic, on Frank's interpretation, aims to strengthen democracy by teaching ordinary citizens to question established authorities and take responsibility for self-governance.

The work presented in this thesis contributes to the understanding of the dynamic behaviour of large power transformer windings under short circuit forces. A simple yet accurate method of prediction of electromagnetic forces is developed and used as input to the dynamic mechanical model. In developing this model the mechanical properties of oil-impregnated pressboard have been investigated and measured in a specially designed rig which simulates the typical power transformer environment. Assumptions have been made regarding these properties to enable them to be meaningfully incorporated in a dynamic model of a transformer. Predictions made using the model have been compared with actual measurements on a transformer and a correlation within 20%-30% was achieved. The work demonstrated the importance of mechanical prestress to ensure that no serious nonlinearities will be encountered in the mechanical behaviour when short-circuit forces are present in a power transformer. It was also f...
