Machine Learning Heuristics on Gingivobuccal Cancer Gene Datasets Reveals Key Candidate Attributes for Prognosis
Publisher: Genes, 2022
Abstract
|
Links
Delayed cancer detection is one of the common causes of poor prognosis in the case of many cancers, including cancers of the oral cavity. Despite the improvement and development of new and efficient gene therapy treatments, very little has been carried out to algorithmically assess the impedance of these carcinomas. In this work, from attributes or NCBI’s oral cancer datasets, viz. (i) name, (ii) gene(s), (iii) protein change, (iv) condition(s), clinical significance (last reviewed). We sought to train the number of instances emerging from them. Further, we attempt to annotate viable attributes in oral cancer gene datasets for the identification of gingivobuccal cancer (GBC). We further apply supervised and unsupervised machine learning methods to the gene datasets, revealing key candidate attributes for GBC prognosis. Our work highlights the importance of automated identification of key genes responsible for GBC that could perhaps be easily replicated in other forms of oral cancer detection.

Inferred Impacts of Extreme Environments on Hawksbill Turtle (Eretmochelys imbricata) Body Size and Reproductive Output
Publisher: Chelonian Conservation and Biology, 2022
Abstract

This study presents the first published data on the morphometrics of nesting hawksbill turtles (Eretmochelys imbricata) and their eggs and counts of yolked and yolkless eggs per clutch from Iranian Islands in the northern Persian Gulf. We found significant variation in some variables among 4 main nesting islands (e.g., weight of yolked eggs, p = 0.000; number of yolkless eggs per clutch, p = 0.017), but effect size was moderate or less (r vealed significant variation in CCL (p = 0.000) and number of yolked eggs (p s (g2 = 0.880 and 0.616, respectively). Hawksbill turtles from the Gulf were smaller than populations from the Gulf of Oman (p he Red Sea (p = 0.104), and laid fewer yolked eggs than populations in the Caribbean (p o hawksbill turtles nesting in the Gulf remaining within its waters postnesting so adult body size is restricted by the relatively poor foraging habitat and/or success and/or the extreme environments, subsequently limiting clutch size. More information on home range and foraging habitat is required to draw similar conclusions about hawksbill turtles nesting in the Red Sea. Hawksbill turtles nesting in the Gulf, Red Sea, and Arabian Sea also appear to lay larger number of yolkless eggs per clutch than other populations worldwide (mean = 17.6 ± 10.8 SD [range = 0–59]). The functional role of yolkless eggs, potentially in the maintenance of thermal and hydric conditions within tolerable conditions in shallow nests laid in extreme environments, requires further investigation. Similarly, the potential for yolkless eggs to be an adaptation to extreme nest environments in other sea turtle species also nesting in the northern Indian Ocean also warrants examination.

Sediment processing by two estuarine crabs in Bangladesh: small efficient consumers alongside big inefficient ones
Publisher: Journal of Crustacean Biology, 2022
Abstract
|
Links
Due to their foraging and burrowing behaviors, many crabs in the brachyuran superfamily Ocypodoidea are considered important bioturbators that enhance sediment turnover, energy and matter flow, and nutrient cycling in sandy beaches, mangrove forests, and estuaries. There is surprisingly little comparative work assessing the relative effects of sympatric species, even though many co-occur over broad ranges. We compared uptake of sediment water, organic matter, and carbonate by two sympatric deposit-feeding crabs from Chittagong, Bangladesh, the small sand-bubbler Dotilla intermedia De Man, 1888 and the much larger ghost crab Ocypode macrocera H. Milne Edwards, 1837. Comparisons between feeding pellets and surrounding surface sediments showed that D. intermedia reduced sediment water content by 66% and organic matter content by 67%. In contrast, feeding by O. macrocera had no significant effects on these two parameters. Although sediments excavated by O. macrocera were twice as rich in organic matter compared to surface sediments, variance was high, rendering the difference not statistically significant. Inorganic carbonate distribution was affected by both crabs in different ways. Dotilla feeding pellets had significantly less carbonate than unprocessed surface sediments. In contrast, Ocypode feeding pellets had similar carbonate concentrations to surface sediments, but sediments excavated by those crabs were significantly lower in carbonates (~28%) than those at the surface. While both crab species have the potential to affect sediment properties, they do so through different mechanisms.

The Objectification of Women in V. Shantaram’s Films
Publisher: Visual Anthropology, 2022
Abstract
|
Links
This essay looks at Jhanak Jhanak Payal Baaje (Citation1955; hereafter JJPB), and Geet Gaya Pattharon Ne (Citation1964; hereafter GGPN), both made by the legendary Indian filmmaker, Rajaram Vankudre Shantaram (1901–90; generally known as V. Shantaram). These two commercial films are both based on the male protagonist’s artistic talents, supported by their female counterparts’ heroic sacrifices. We introduce and then analyze their plots, using Nussbaum’s concept of objectification—personal relationships involving a constant struggle over freedom as one either treats others as objects (so undermining their freedom) or allows them to be treated by others as an object (undermining their own freedom). Either way, someone’s freedom is compromised. The films demonstrate how the female protagonists are expected to sacrifice their careers and lives for their partners—a theme first broached with the role of Sīta in the Rāmāyana more than two millennia ago.

Causation without the causal theory of action
Publisher: Human Affairs, 2022
Abstract
|
Links
This paper takes a critical stance on Tallis’s separation of causation and agency. While his critique of the causal theory of action and the assumptions about causation underlying different versions of determinism, including the one based on neuroscience is right, his rejection of causation (of all sorts) has implausible consequences. Denying the link between action and causation amounts to overlooking the role action plays in causal inference and in the origin of causal concepts. I suggest that a weaker version of Tallis’ claim, compatible with causation understood as agency, would work better.
