Average removal rates of ARGs showed no statistical differences between both wetland units, and ranged between 46 and 97% for sul1, 33 and 97% for sul2, 9 and 99% for ermB, 18 and 97% for qnrS and 11 and 98% for blaTEM.Dietary patterns are influenced by numerous external factors such as cultural taste and customs, nutritional and economic aspects and lifestyle and consumer preferences. Otherwise, food also causes a great impact on the environment and there can be a large difference between choosing certain foodstuffs, such as plant or animal-based ones. The key for an environmentally friendly and healthy diet is the high consumption of plant-based products, low amounts of animal-origin foodstuffs and limited quantity of refined grains, processed food and added sugars. Nevertheless, adherence to it has been decreasing over the years due to the adoption of a more westernized consumption pattern. Thus, the main goal of this study is to monitor the food consumption pattern at household level during a period of 10 years (2008-2017), selecting Spain as case study. Both the impacts that foodstuffs included in the food basket cause in the environment, and the socio-economic variables that influence the consumer choice are considered. Results show a generalized decrease of the carbon footprint over the years. However, it does not always mean an approach to a healthier diet, considering that in this case it decreases both the consumption of those foods with a greater environmental footprint as those essential for a balanced diet with low ecological impact. Additionally, there is also an increase in the consumption of processed food, which further distances the dietary pattern from the recommendations, what can be more pronounced for the most vulnerable population groups, with less purchasing power to access healthy food.Soil organic carbon (SOC) and soil carbon-to-nitrogen ratio (CN) are the main indicators of soil quality and health and play an important role in maintaining soil quality. Together with Landsat, the improved spatial and temporal resolution Sentinel sensors provide the potential to investigate soil information on various scales. We analyzed and compared the potential of satellite sensors (Landsat-8, Sentinel-2 and Sentinel-3) with various spatial and temporal resolutions to predict SOC content and CN ratio in Switzerland. Modeling was carried out at four spatial resolutions (800 m, 400 m, 100 m and 20 m) using three machine learning techniques support vector machine (SVM), boosted regression tree (BRT) and random forest (RF). Soil prediction models were generated in these three machine learners in which 150 soil samples and different combinations of environmental data (topography, climate and satellite imagery) were used as inputs. The prediction results were evaluated by cross-validation. Our results revealed values in forest areas. This study provides useful indicators for a more effective modeling of soil properties on various scales based on satellite imagery.This study addressed the impact of air flow rate on the performance, membrane fouling behaviour and microbial community of a sequencing batch conventional membrane bioreactor (SB-MBR) and a sequencing batch hybrid membrane bioreactor (SB-HMBR) with carrier media for biofilm growth. Two different scenarios were evaluated high (6.4 L min-1) and low (1.6 L min-1) air flow rates, associated with high (4.5 mg L-1) and low (1.5 mg L-1) dissolved oxygen (DO) concentrations and specific aeration demand per membrane area (SADm) of 0.426 and 0.106 m3 m-2 h-1, respectively. Both reactors were subjected to alternating non-aerated and aerated conditions for organic matter (as chemical oxygen demand - COD), nitrogen and phosphate removal from a municipal wastewater. From the bacterial community analysis, the key players in nutrient removal processes were assessed. The results showed that COD removal efficiencies were above 95% in both MBRs, regardless of the aeration intensity, while complete ammonium removal was observed .Theileria annulata secretes peptidyl prolyl isomerase enzyme (TaPIN1) to manipulate the host cell oncogenic signaling pathway by disrupting the tumor suppressor F-box and WD repeat domain-containing 7 (FBW7) protein level leading to an increased level of c-Jun proto-oncogene. Buparvaquone is a hydroxynaphthoquinone anti-theilerial drug and has been used to treat theileriosis. However, TaPIN1 contains the A53 P mutation that causes drug resistance. In this study, potential TaPIN1 inhibitors were investigated using a library of naphthoquinone derivatives. Comparative models of mutant (m) and wild type (wt) TaPIN1 were predicted and energy minimization was followed by structure validation. A naphthoquinone (hydroxynaphthalene-1,2-dione, hydroxynaphthalene-1,4-dione) and hydroxynaphthalene-2,3-dione library was screened by Schrödinger Glide HTVS, SP and XP docking methodologies and the docked compounds were ranked by the Glide XP scoring function. The two highest ranked docked compounds Compound 1 (4-hydroxy-3-[3,4,5-trihydroxy-6-(hydroxymethyl)oxan-2-yl]oxynaphthalene-1,2-dione) and Compound 2 (6-acetyl-1,4,5,7,8-pentahydroxynaphthalene-2,3-dione) were used for further molecular dynamics (MD) simulation studies. DDD86481 in vivo The MD results showed that ligand Compound 1 was located in the active site of both mTaPIN1 and wtTaPIN1 and could be proposed as a potential inhibitor by acting as a substrate antagonist. However, ligand Compound 2 was displaced away from the binding pocket of wtTaPIN1 but was located near the active site binding pocket of mTaPIN1 suggesting that could be selectively evaluated as a potential inhibitor against the mTaPIN1. Compound 1 and Compound 2 ligands are potential inhibitors but Compound 2 is suggested as a better inhibitor for mTaPIN1. These ligands could also further evaluated as potential inhibitors against human peptidyl prolyl isomerase which causes cancer in humans by using the same mechanism as TaPIN1.In this study, we aimed to explore the associations between socioeconomic status (SES) (i.e., parents' education and occupation, quality of the home and overcrowding), temperament styles (i.e., surgency, negative emotionality and regulatory capacity) and early dyadic and triadic nonverbal communication behaviors. We recruited 60 mother-infant dyads (mean age 10.89 months, range 9-13 months) low-to-mid SES, and assessed the duration of their communication behaviors using the Bakeman and Adamson (1984); SES was measured using INDEC Scale (2001), and temperament was assessed using the Infant Behavior Questionnaire-Revised Very Short Form (IBQ-R VSF, Putnam et al., 2014). Results showed that SES and their subdimensions were positively associated with passive, coordinated joint engagement (coordinated attention to person and object) and surgency, and negative with infant passive observation. Also, there were positive correlations between negative emotionality and unengaged attention behavior. We conclude that SES contributed to parent-infant interactions and temperament style from early months of life.
