Argument maps as tools to support the development of new media literacies: a systematic review.

The post-digital era is characterized by the vast presence of platforms imposing their digital affordances and algorithmic control on our behavior. This environment is challenging education and training, with implications for digital and transmedial literacy. Investigating instructional methodologies is crucial to foster critical comprehension of such novel informational environments. The argument maps (AM), which were first created and evaluated in static information contexts (analogical/old web), could be useful in the emergence of dynamic (post-digital) textual forms. The current paper describes a comprehensive literature review based on the assumptions above. We looked into state of the art in research on using AM to handle dynamic information. We found 150 papers using a PRISMA procedure and then examined 25 of them. Our review produced pertinent data about the current state of AM, including the sorts of texts on which they are used and the tools (especially digital and AI-based) that have been employed. Our research lays the groundwork for teaching the literacies needed in new informational settings, such as multimodal, dynamic, algorithmic, and data-driven contexts, with a specific focus on AM as an effective mediational tool.

Data from: Differential gene expression and mitonuclear incompatibilities in fast- and slow-developing inter-population Tigriopus californicus hybrids

Mitochondrial functions are intimately reliant on proteins and RNAs encoded in both the nuclear and mitochondrial genomes, leading to inter-genomic coevolution within taxa. Hybridization can break apart coevolved mitonuclear genotypes, resulting in decreased mitochondrial performance and reduced fitness. This hybrid breakdown is an important component of outbreeding depression and early-stage reproductive isolation. However, the mechanisms contributing to mitonuclear interactions remain poorly resolved. Here we scored variation in developmental rate (a proxy for fitness) among reciprocal F2 inter-population hybrids of the intertidal copepod Tigriopus californicus, and used RNA sequencing to assess differences in gene expression between fast- and slow-developing hybrids. In total, differences in expression associated with developmental rate were detected for 2,925 genes, whereas only 135 genes were differentially expressed as a result of differences in mitochondrial genotype. Up-regulated expression in fast developers was enriched for genes involved in chitin-based cuticle development, oxidation-reduction processes, hydrogen peroxide catabolic processes, and mitochondrial respiratory chain complex I. In contrast, up-regulation in slow developers was enriched for DNA replication, cell division, DNA damage, and DNA repair. Eighty-four nuclear-encoded mitochondrial genes were differentially expressed between fast- and slow-developing copepods, including twelve subunits of the electron transport system (ETS) which all had higher expression in fast developers than in slow developers. Nine of these genes were subunits of ETS complex I. Our results emphasize the major roles that mitonuclear interactions within the ETS, particularly in complex I, play in hybrid breakdown, and resolve strong candidate genes for involvement in mitonuclear interactions.

Development of a prognostic model for early breast cancer integrating neutrophil to lymphocyte ratio and clinical-pathological characteristics

Abstract Breast cancer-related inflammation is critical in tumorigenesis, cancer progression, and patient prognosis. Several inflammatory markers derived from peripheral blood cells count, such as the neutrophil-lymphocyte ratio (NLR), derived neutrophil-lymphocyte ratio (dNLR), platelet-lymphocyte ratio (PLR), monocyte-lymphocyte ratio (MLR) and systemic immune-inflammation index (SII) are considered as prognostic markers in several types of malignancy. Here, we investigate and validate a prognostic model in early breast cancer (eBC) patients to predict disease-free survival (DFS) based on readily available baseline clinicopathological prognostic factors and preoperative peripheral blood-derived indexes. We analyzed a training cohort of 710 BC patients and two external validation cohorts of 980 and 157 eBC patients, respectively, with different demographic origins. An elevated preoperative NLR is a better DFS predictor than PLR, MLR, and SII in patients with eBC. The prognostic model generated in this study was able to classify patients into three groups with different risks of relapse based on ECOG-PS, presence of comorbidities, T and N stage, PgR status, and NLR. Prognostic models derived from the combination of clinicopathological features and peripheral blood indices, such as NLR, represent attractive markers mainly because they are easily detectable and applicable in daily clinical practice. More comprehensive prospective studies are needed to unveil their actual effectiveness.

Data for: Delayed development of basal spikelets in wheat explains their increased floret abortion and rudimentary nature

Large differences exist in the number of grains per spikelet across an individual wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) spike. The central spikelets produce the highest number of grains while apical and basal spikelets are less productive, and most basal spikelets are commonly only formed rudimentary. Basal spikelets are delayed in initiation, yet they continue to develop and produce florets. The precise timings or the cause of their abortion remains largely unknown. Here, we investigated the underlying causes of basal spikelet abortion using shading applications in the field. We found that basal spikelet abortion is likely the consequence of complete floret abortion, as both occur concurrently and have the same response to shading treatments. We detected no differences in assimilate availability across the spike. Instead, we show that the reduced developmental age of basal florets pre-anthesis is strongly associated with their increased abortion. Using the developmental age pre-abortion, we were able to predict final grain set per spikelet across the spike, alongside the characteristic gradient in the number of grains from basal to central spikelets. Future efforts to improve spikelet homogeneity across the spike could thus focus on improving basal spikelet establishment and increasing floret development rates pre-abortion.

Parasitoid development and superparasitism in invasive versus native widow spider host egg sacs

The brown widow spider, Latrodectus geometricus, is a hazardous and highly invasive species globally. One of the suggested mechanisms enhancing this spider's invasiveness is lower susceptibility to natural enemies compared to other widow species. The parasitoid wasp, Philolema latrodecti, is known to attack egg sacs of L. geometricus, as well as those of other species of Latrodectus. Despite its potential importance as a natural enemy of L. geometricus, little is known about the development of this wasp and factors mediating its parasitism success. We investigated the development of this parasitoid in two widow spider host species, one native to Israel, the white widow, L. pallidus, and the invasive brown widow, L. geometricus. We compared wasp developmental success in egg sacs exposed to increasing wasp densities. We found increased wasp emergence and brood size, and smaller emerging wasp body size, with increasing wasp density. Across all wasp densities, more and larger parasitoids developed in the egg sacs of the native host species, L. pallidus, compared to the invasive host species, L. geometricus. Parasitoid sex ratio was highly female-biased and the proportion of males increased with wasp density, suggesting local mate competition. Overall, our results suggest that L. pallidus is a better host for the egg sac parasitoid P. latrodecti, which could give a competitive advantage to the less-affected invasive brown widow spider.

Towards the generation of gnotobiotic larvae as a tool to investigate the influence of the microbiome on the development of the amphibian immune system

<div> <div> <div> The immune equilibrium model suggests that exposure to microbes during early life primes immune responses for pathogen exposure later in life. While recent studies using a range of gnotobiotic (germ-free) model organisms offer support for this theory, we currently lack a tractable model system for investigating the influence of the microbiome on immune system development. Here, we used an amphibian species (Xenopus laevis) to investigate the importance of the microbiome in larval development and susceptibility to infectious disease later in life. We found that experimental reductions of the microbiome during embryonic and larval stages effectively reduced microbial richness, diversity, and altered community composition in tadpoles prior to metamorphosis. In addition, our antimicrobial treatments resulted in few negative effects on larval development, body condition, or survival to metamorphosis. However, contrary to our predictions, our antimicrobial treatments did not alter susceptibility to the lethal fungal pathogen Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis (Bd) in the adult life stage. While our treatments to reduce the microbiome during early development did not play a critical role in determining susceptibility to disease caused by Bd in X. laevis, they nevertheless indicate that developing a gnotobiotic amphibian model system may be highly useful for future immunological investigations. </div> </div> </div>
