The Influence of the Social Context on Motivation towards the Practice of Physical Activity and the Intention to be Physically Active

According toWHOdata, only around 20% of adolescents participate in physical activity (PA) during their free time. The social context can act as a support for adolescents to do PA, given the e ect that both parents, friends and teachers have on young people’s behaviour owing to the large amount of time and influence they have on them. Therefore, the aim of this study is to analyse the role of the social context on adolescents’ motivation to practise PA and their intention to be physically active. This study involved the participation of students in compulsory and post-compulsory secondary education. Several statistical analyses were performed, including three confirmatory factorial analyses of the scales and a structural equations model that explains the causal relationships between the variables. The results showed how support for autonomy in the social context positively predicts autonomous motivation, whereas the psychological control of the social context negatively predicts it. Autonomous motivation positively predicted intent, attitude, behavioural control and subjective norms, and consequently, the practice of physical activity. In short, the study showed how the three validated scales have adequate goodness-of-fit indices while the structural equations model demonstrated the influence of the social context on the student’s motivational processes and the adoption of active life habits

Basurales a Cielo Abierto (BCA) en la ciudad de Córdoba, Argentina : Lineamientos para la gestión integral

El objetivo del presente trabajo fue analizar la situación y dinámica de los BCA de la ciudad de Córdoba con el fin de generar insumos y lineamientos de gestión para promover un plan de erradicación y control de proliferación de los mismos. Para ello se reunió, articuló, sistematizó y analizó la información existente, se definieron un conjunto de variables que permitieron recolectar los datos necesarios para conocer la situación actual de 34 BCA (muestreo aleatorio estratificado). Se generaron indicadores que permitieron analizar y evaluar el Grado de Exposición Comunitaria de Contacto (GECC), el Nivel de Afectación de Recursos Naturales (NARN) y el Nivel de Importancia Socio-Ambiental (NISA). De los resultados obtenidos se destacan: 90de los BCA tiene más de 3 años de existencia (crónicos); 80 se encuentran a menos de 50 m de un área habitada; la mayoría está constituido por residuos domiciliarios, restos de poda y restos de obra y demolición; la presencia de residuos domiciliarios no está ligado a un déficit en el servicio de recolección en el sector; 68de los BCA tienen un alto GECC; el indicador de NISA es crítico (64) para Barrio Müller. Sería necesario continuar con el relevamiento de los BCA restantes (44) para poder completar el mapa de NISA y visualizar aquellos BCA en situación crítica para generar un plan integral de erradicación.Evento realizado junto con el VII Congreso Nacional de Geografía de Universidades PúblicasFacultad de Humanidades y Ciencias de la Educació

Comportamiento productivo y valor nutricional de 22 genotipos de raigrás (Lolium spp.) en tres pisos altoandinos del norte de Perú

The dairy activity, based on pastures, represents the main source of income for the rural population of the Andes of northern Peru. The objective was to evaluate biomass yield, growth rate, plant height, Crude Protein (CP), Neutral Detergent Fiber (NDF), in vitro digestibility of dry matter (IVDDM) and metabolizable energy (ME) of 22 genotypes of Lolium spp. in three Andean floors (AF) (AF I: 2300 - 2800, AF II: 2801 - 3300 and AF III: 3301 - 3800 masl) in northern Peru. Better biomass (7662 kg dry material (DM) ha-1 year-1) and growth rate (21.0 kg DM ha-1 day-1) showed AF I for Lolium perenne L., however AF III stood out in yield (9,041 kg MS ha-1 year-1) and growth rate (24.8 kg DM ha-1 day-1) for Lolium multiflorum L. The mean ME was 2.61 Mcal kg-1 MS and 2.43 Mcal kg-1 MS for L. perenne and L. multiflorum, respectively. The nutritional values of both varieties are adequate for feeding cattle to grazing in the mountains. Likewise, the genotypes that showed better performance should be used in a pasture improvement plan.La actividad lechera, basada en pasturas, representa la principal fuente de ingreso de la población rural de los andes del norte del Perú. El objetivo fue evaluar el rendimiento de biomasa, tasa de crecimiento, altura de planta, Proteína Cruda (PC), Fibra Detergente Neutro (FDN), digestibilidad in vitro de la materia seca (DIVMS) y Energía metabolizable (EM) de 22 genotipos de Lolium spp. en tres pisos altoandinos (PA) (PA I: 2300 - 2800, PA II: 2801 - 3300 y PA III: 3301 - 3800 msnm) del norte del Perú. Mejor biomasa (7 662 kg materia seca (MS) ha-1 año-1) y tasa de crecimiento (21,0 kg MS ha-1 día-1) mostró el PA I para Lolium perenne L., en cambio el PA III destacó en rendimiento (9041 kg MS ha-1 año-1) y tasa de crecimiento (24,8 kg MS ha-1 día-1) para Lolium multiflorum L. La EM promedio fue de 2,61 Mcal kg-1 MS y 2,43 Mcal kg-1 MS para L. perenne y L. multiflorum respectivamente. Los valores nutricionales de ambas variedades son adecuados para la alimentación del ganado al pastoreo en la sierra. Así mismo, los genotipos que mostraron mejor desempeño deben usarse en un plan de mejora de pasturas

Comportamiento productivo y valor nutricional de siete genotipos de trébol en tres pisos altitudinales de la sierra norte del Perú

            The aim of this study was to evaluate the productive performance and nutritional value of seven clover genotypes at three altitude levels (PA I: 2300-2800 m above sea level, PA II: 2801-3300 and PA III: 3301-3800) of the northern highlands of Peru during a year. Four genotypes of white clover (Trifolium repens) and three genotypes of red clover (Trifolium pratense) were installed in each altitudinal floor (PA). The germination power, weight and purity of the seeds were evaluated to ensure the viability of the number of seeds sown. The yield (kg DM ha-1 year-1), growth rate (kg DM ha-1 day-1), plant height (cm) and nutritional value for each genotype were determined. The highest yields and the best growth rates (p<0.01) in the three PAs corresponded to the three varieties of Trifolium pratense (Tuscan, Americano and Relish). PA I (p<0.01) obtained the highest dry matter production (12 340.6 kg DM ha-1 year-1), followed by PA II (7808.4 kg DM ha-1 year-1) and PA III (3923.4 kg DM ha-1 year-1), showing the same trend for the growth rate (p<0.01). Crude protein levels ranged from 19.75 to 23.77% (p=0.009). The results indicate that all genotypes of Trifolium pratense and Trifolium repens should be considered as a good alternative to associate with pastures in the highlands of northern Peru.            El objetivo del estudio fue evaluar el comportamiento productivo y el valor nutricional de siete genotipos de trébol en tres niveles de altitud (PA I: 2300-2800 msnm, PA II: 2801-3300 msnm y PA III: 3301-3800 msnm) de la sierra norte de Perú durante un año. Se instalaron cuatro genotipos de trébol blanco (Trifolium repens) y tres genotipos de trébol rojo (Trifolium pratense) en cada piso altitudinal (PA). Se evaluó el poder germinativo, peso y pureza de la semilla para asegurar la viabilidad del número de semillas sembradas. Se determinó el rendimiento (kg MS ha-1 año-1), tasa de crecimiento (kg MS ha-1 día-1), altura de la planta (cm) y valor nutricional para cada genotipo. Los rendimientos más altos y las mejores tasas de crecimiento (p<0.01) en los tres PA correspondieron a las tres variedades de Trifolium pratense (Tuscan, Americano y Relish). El PA I (p<0.01) obtuvo la mayor producción de materia seca (12 340.6 kg MS ha-1 año-1), seguido del PA II (7808.4 kg MS ha-1 año-1) y PA III (3923.4 kg MS ha- 1 año-1), mostrando la misma tendencia para la tasa de crecimiento (p<0.01). Los niveles de proteína cruda variaron de 19.75 a 23.77% (p=0.009). Los resultados encontrados indican que todos los genotipos de Trifolium pratense y Trifolium repens deben considerarse como una buena alternativa para asociarse con pastos en las tierras altas del norte del Perú

CD6 modulates thymocyte selection and peripheral T cell homeostasis

The CD6 glycoprotein is a lymphocyte surface receptor putatively involved in T cell development and activation. CD6 facilitates adhesion between T cells and antigen-presenting cells through its interaction with CD166/ALCAM (activated leukocyte cell adhesion molecule), and physically associates with the T cell receptor (TCR) at the center of the immunological synapse. However, its precise role during thymocyte development and peripheral T cell immune responses remains to be defined. Here, we analyze the in vivo consequences of CD6 deficiency. CD6(-/-) thymi showed a reduction in both CD4(+) and CD8(+) single-positive subsets, and double-positive thymocytes exhibited increased Ca(2+) mobilization to TCR cross-linking in vitro. Bone marrow chimera experiments revealed a T cell-autonomous selective disadvantage of CD6(-/-) T cells during development. The analysis of TCR-transgenic mice (OT-I and Marilyn) confirmed that abnormal T cell selection events occur in the absence of CD6. CD6(-/-) mice displayed increased frequencies of antigen-experienced peripheral T cells generated under certain levels of TCR signal strength or co-stimulation, such as effector/memory (CD4(+)TEM and CD8(+)TCM) and regulatory (T reg) T cells. The suppressive activity of CD6(-/-) T reg cells was diminished, and CD6(-/-) mice presented an exacerbated autoimmune response to collagen. Collectively, these data indicate that CD6 modulates the threshold for thymocyte selection and the generation and/or function of several peripheral T cell subpopulations, including T reg cells

Spanish cohort of VEXAS syndrome : clinical manifestations, outcome of treatments and novel evidences about UBA1 mosaicism

The vacuoles, E1-enzyme, X linked, autoinflammatory and somatic (VEXAS) syndrome is an adult-onset autoinflammatory disease (AID) due to postzygotic UBA1 variants. To investigate the presence of VEXAS syndrome among patients with adult-onset undiagnosed AID. Additional studies evaluated the mosaicism distribution and the circulating cytokines. Gene analyses were performed by both Sanger and amplicon-based deep sequencing. Patients' data were collected from their medical charts. Cytokines were quantified by Luminex. Genetic analyses of enrolled patients (n=42) identified 30 patients carrying UBA1 pathogenic variants, with frequencies compatible for postzygotic variants. All patients were male individuals who presented with a late-onset disease (mean 67.5 years; median 67.0 years) characterised by cutaneous lesions (90%), fever (66.7%), pulmonary manifestations (66.7%) and arthritis (53.3%). Macrocytic anaemia and increased erythrocyte sedimentation rate and ferritin were the most relevant analytical abnormalities. Glucocorticoids ameliorated the inflammatory manifestations, but most patients became glucocorticoid-dependent. Positive responses were obtained when targeting the haematopoietic component of the disease with either decitabine or allogeneic haematopoietic stem cell transplantation. Additional analyses detected the UBA1 variants in both haematopoietic and non-haematopoietic tissues. Finally, analysis of circulating cytokines did not identify inflammatory mediators of the disease. Thirty patients with adult-onset AID were definitively diagnosed with VEXAS syndrome through genetic analyses. Despite minor interindividual differences, their main characteristics were in concordance with previous reports. We detected for the first time the UBA1 mosaicism in non-haematopoietic tissue, which questions the previous concept of myeloid-restricted mosaicism and may have conceptual consequences for the disease mechanisms

Regulatory sites for splicing in human basal ganglia are enriched for disease-relevant information

Genome-wide association studies have generated an increasing number of common genetic variants associated with neurological and psychiatric disease risk. An improved understanding of the genetic control of gene expression in human brain is vital considering this is the likely modus operandum for many causal variants. However, human brain sampling complexities limit the explanatory power of brain-related expression quantitative trait loci (eQTL) and allele-specific expression (ASE) signals. We address this, using paired genomic and transcriptomic data from putamen and substantia nigra from 117 human brains, interrogating regulation at different RNA processing stages and uncovering novel transcripts. We identify disease-relevant regulatory loci, find that splicing eQTLs are enriched for regulatory information of neuron-specific genes, that ASEs provide cell-specific regulatory information with evidence for cellular specificity, and that incomplete annotation of the brain transcriptome limits interpretation of risk loci for neuropsychiatric disease. This resource of regulatory data is accessible through our web server, http://braineacv2.inf.um.es/

Identification of novel risk loci, causal insights, and heritable risk for Parkinson's disease: a meta-analysis of genome-wide association studies

Background Genome-wide association studies (GWAS) in Parkinson's disease have increased the scope of biological knowledge about the disease over the past decade. We aimed to use the largest aggregate of GWAS data to identify novel risk loci and gain further insight into the causes of Parkinson's disease. Methods We did a meta-analysis of 17 datasets from Parkinson's disease GWAS available from European ancestry samples to nominate novel loci for disease risk. These datasets incorporated all available data. We then used these data to estimate heritable risk and develop predictive models of this heritability. We also used large gene expression and methylation resources to examine possible functional consequences as well as tissue, cell type, and biological pathway enrichments for the identified risk factors. Additionally, we examined shared genetic risk between Parkinson's disease and other phenotypes of interest via genetic correlations followed by Mendelian randomisation. Findings Between Oct 1, 2017, and Aug 9, 2018, we analysed 7·8 million single nucleotide polymorphisms in 37 688 cases, 18 618 UK Biobank proxy-cases (ie, individuals who do not have Parkinson's disease but have a first degree relative that does), and 1·4 million controls. We identified 90 independent genome-wide significant risk signals across 78 genomic regions, including 38 novel independent risk signals in 37 loci. These 90 variants explained 16–36% of the heritable risk of Parkinson's disease depending on prevalence. Integrating methylation and expression data within a Mendelian randomisation framework identified putatively associated genes at 70 risk signals underlying GWAS loci for follow-up functional studies. Tissue-specific expression enrichment analyses suggested Parkinson's disease loci were heavily brain-enriched, with specific neuronal cell types being implicated from single cell data. We found significant genetic correlations with brain volumes (false discovery rate-adjusted p=0·0035 for intracranial volume, p=0·024 for putamen volume), smoking status (p=0·024), and educational attainment (p=0·038). Mendelian randomisation between cognitive performance and Parkinson's disease risk showed a robust association (p=8·00 × 10−7). Interpretation These data provide the most comprehensive survey of genetic risk within Parkinson's disease to date, to the best of our knowledge, by revealing many additional Parkinson's disease risk loci, providing a biological context for these risk factors, and showing that a considerable genetic component of this disease remains unidentified. These associations derived from European ancestry datasets will need to be followed-up with more diverse data.

Taking the pulse of Earth's tropical forests using networks of highly distributed plots

Tropical forests are the most diverse and productive ecosystems on Earth. While better understanding of these forests is critical for our collective future, until quite recently efforts to measure and monitor them have been largely disconnected. Networking is essential to discover the answers to questions that transcend borders and the horizons of funding agencies. Here we show how a global community is responding to the challenges of tropical ecosystem research with diverse teams measuring forests tree-by-tree in thousands of long-term plots. We review the major scientific discoveries of this work and show how this process is changing tropical forest science. Our core approach involves linking long-term grassroots initiatives with standardized protocols and data management to generate robust scaled-up results. By connecting tropical researchers and elevating their status, our Social Research Network model recognises the key role of the data originator in scientific discovery. Conceived in 1999 with RAINFOR (South America), our permanent plot networks have been adapted to Africa (AfriTRON) and Southeast Asia (T-FORCES) and widely emulated worldwide. Now these multiple initiatives are integrated via ForestPlots.net cyber-infrastructure, linking colleagues from 54 countries across 24 plot networks. Collectively these are transforming understanding of tropical forests and their biospheric role. Together we have discovered how, where and why forest carbon and biodiversity are responding to climate change, and how they feedback on it. This long-term pan-tropical collaboration has revealed a large long-term carbon sink and its trends, as well as making clear which drivers are most important, which forest processes are affected, where they are changing, what the lags are, and the likely future responses of tropical forests as the climate continues to change. By leveraging a remarkably old technology, plot networks are sparking a very modern revolution in tropical forest science. In the future, humanity can benefit greatly by nurturing the grassroots communities now collectively capable of generating unique, long-term understanding of Earth's most precious forests.Additional co-authors: Susan Laurance, William Laurance, Francoise Yoko Ishida, Andrew Marshall, Catherine Waite, Hannsjoerg Woell, Jean-Francois Bastin, Marijn Bauters, Hans Beeckman, Pfascal Boeckx, Jan Bogaert, Charles De Canniere, Thales de Haulleville, Jean-Louis Doucet, Olivier Hardy, Wannes Hubau, Elizabeth Kearsley, Hans Verbeeck, Jason Vleminckx, Steven W.
