Further evidence of linkage at 7p22 with familial hyperaldosteronism type II

Primary aldosteronism (PAL) is caused by the autonomous over-production of aldosterone. Once thought rare, it is now reported to be responsible for 5–10% of hypertension. Familial hyperaldosteronism type II (FH-II), unlike familial hyperaldosteronism type I, is not glucocorticoid-remediable and not associated with the hybrid CYP11B1/CYP11B2 gene mutation. At least five times more common than FH-I, FH-II is clinically, biochemically and morphologically indistinguishable from apparently sporadic PAL, suggesting that its incidence maybe even higher. Studies performed in collaboration with C Stratakis (NIH, Bethesda) on our largest Australian FH-II family (eight affected members) demonstrated linkage at chromosome 7p22. Similar linkage at this region was also found in a South American FH-II family (DNA provided by MI New, Presbyterian Hospital, New York). Mutations in the exons and intron/exon boundaries of the PRKARIB gene (which resides at 7p22 and is closely related to PRKARIA gene mutated in Carney complex) have been excluded in our largest Australian FH-II family. Using more finely spaced markers, we have confirmed linkage at 7p22 in these 2 families, and identified a second Australian family with evidence of linkage at this locus. The combined multipoint LOD score for these 3 families is 4.87 (θ=0) with markers D7S462 and D7S2424, which exceeds the critical threshold for genome-wide significance suggested by Lander and Kruglyak (1995), providing strong support for this locus harbouring mutations responsible for FH-II. A newly identified recombination event in our largest Australian family has narrowed the region of linkage by 1.8 Mb, permitting exclusion of approximately half the genes residing in the original reported 5Mb linked locus. In addition, we have strongly excluded linkage to these key markers in two Australian families (maximum multipoint LOD scores −3.51 and −2.77), supporting the notion that FH-II may be genetically heterogeneous. In order to identify candidate genes at 7p22, more closely spaced markers will be used to refine the locus, as well as single nucleotide polymorphism analysis.

On plagiarism, patchwriting and the problems of overseas students in British universities

Although according to Angélil-Carter (2002: 2) ‘plagiarism is a modern Western concept which arose with the introduction of copyright laws in the Eighteenth century’, its avoidance is now a basic plank of respectable academic scholarship. Student plagiarism is currently a hot topic, at least for those who teach and study in British and American universities. There are companies selling both off-the-shelf and written-to-order term papers and others, like Turnitin.com, offering an electronic detection service. Recently an Australian Rector was dismissed for persistent plagiarism earlier in his career and most Anglo-American universities have warnings against and definitions of plagiarism on their websites – indeed Pennycook notes that in the mid-90s Stanford University's documents about plagiarism were reproduced by the University of Oregon apparently without attribution, and suggests, whimsically, that there is 'one set of standards for the guardians of truth and knowledge and another for those seeking entry' (1996: 213), (example and quote taken from Pecorari, 2002, p 29).

Ecfrasis: Escritura y pintura en el costumbrismo argentino

This dissertation examines the discursive practice of Argentine costumbrista texts from a novel perspective. In (re)reading the works of selected prominent writers from the late colonial period to the end of the Nineteenth Century, including those of Alonso Carrió de la Vandera, Emeric Essex Vidal, León Pallière, Lucio Vicente López, Lucio V. Mansilla, and Pastor Obligado we focus on the presence of ekphrastic enunciations with a view toward linking the plastic, painterly dimensions of the prose to parallel representations by artists of the same period. Thus the costumbristas are studied in tandem with the watercolors, oil paintings and lithographic compositions of artists such as Carlos Enrique Pellegrim, César Hipólito Bacle, Raymond Monvoisin and Hipólito Moulin. The resulting comparative study of the two arts---the verbal and the pictorial---illustrates the notion described by W. J. T. Mitchell that a literary text may well "represent a work of visual or graphic art." And thus, it provides us with visual, spatial motifs that enhance its powers of representation. ^ In developing our focus on ekphrastic representations we have followed the theoretic studies of Murray Krieger, Jean H. Hagstrum, James Hefferman, John Hollander, W. J. T. Mitchell, Johann Gottfried Herder, and Wendy Steiner among others, all of whom in various ways take their cue from Horace's Ut pictura poesis and the notion that poetry, that is literary discourse, can be likened to a panting and that in both arts there is a refractive quality that makes literature a spoken vehicle of expression and painting a silent, complementary voice. ^ In studying the literary and plastic discourses comparatively what becomes evident is that they share cultural and ideological concerns that center around the notion of self-definition, national identity, and the relation of the individual to the incipient national community (Benedict Anderson). These concerns are highlighted via the depiction of customs, mores, dress, work habits, professions, and social classes. In late colonial literature and painting and especially in the Nineteenth Century, which constitutes the defining period of Argentine political independence, the confluence of the two disciplinary discourses addresses, and underscores the issues of socio-political empowerment in the new Argentine nation. ^

Data compilation on the biological response to ocean acidification: environmental and experimental context of data sets and related literature

The exponential growth of studies on the biological response to ocean acidification over the last few decades has generated a large amount of data. To facilitate data comparison, a data compilation hosted at the data publisher PANGAEA was initiated in 2008 and is updated on a regular basis (doi:10.1594/PANGAEA.149999). By January 2015, a total of 581 data sets (over 4 000 000 data points) from 539 papers had been archived. Here we present the developments of this data compilation five years since its first description by Nisumaa et al. (2010). Most of study sites from which data archived are still in the Northern Hemisphere and the number of archived data from studies from the Southern Hemisphere and polar oceans are still relatively low. Data from 60 studies that investigated the response of a mix of organisms or natural communities were all added after 2010, indicating a welcomed shift from the study of individual organisms to communities and ecosystems. The initial imbalance of considerably more data archived on calcification and primary production than on other processes has improved. There is also a clear tendency towards more data archived from multifactorial studies after 2010. For easier and more effective access to ocean acidification data, the ocean acidification community is strongly encouraged to contribute to the data archiving effort, and help develop standard vocabularies describing the variables and define best practices for archiving ocean acidification data.

Crescendo e refletindo com as crianças sobre a Prática Pedagógica: Aprendizagens da Creche ao Jardim-de-Infância

O presente relatório dá a conhecer o meu percurso pelos dois contextos de educação de infância (creche e jardim-de-infância), relativos à Prática de Ensino Supervisionada, inserida no Mestrado de Educação Pré-Escolar, no ano letivo 2014/2015. Divide-se em quatro partes, as quais evidenciam as aprendizagens desenvolvidas ao longo deste ano letivo. As duas primeiras partes expõem as vivências e experiências realizadas em contexto de creche. A primeira é constituída por uma dimensão reflexiva relativa às aprendizagens realizadas e às dificuldades sentidas. A segunda apresenta o ensaio investigativo, de índole qualitativa, que consistiu em identificar e conhecer as interações que as crianças estabeleciam com os seus objetos de transição, num período antecedente ao momento do repouso. Os dados recolhidos permitiram-me concluir que ocorriam interações apenas não-verbais e que estas se subdividiam em três tipos: interações através do tato, interações através do paladar e interações através do olhar. Verificou-se que as que ocorriam com maior incidência, por parte dos dois participantes do ensaio investigativo, eram as interações através do tato. As duas últimas partes deste relatório apresentam as vivências experienciadas em contexto de jardim-de-infância. A primeira é constituída por uma dimensão reflexiva relativa às aprendizagens realizadas e às dificuldades sentidas. E a segunda diz respeito ao projeto realizado, com o grupo de crianças e com a colega de prática, e cujo tema tratado foram as abelhas. A realização deste projeto permitiu que as crianças ficassem a conhecer melhor estes insetos, nomeadamente em relação às suas vivências (como por exemplo onde é que transportam o pólen e como se fazem as colmeias) e ao modo como se reproduzem, se são ou não ovíparas
