Abstract

Abstract Background Pelota (PELO) is an evolutionary conserved protein, which has been reported to be involved in the regulation of cell proliferation and stem cell self-renewal. Recent studies revealed the essential role of PELO in the No-Go mRNA decay, by which mRNA with translational stall are endonucleotically cleaved and degraded. Further, PELO-deficient mice die early during gastrulation due to defects in cell proliferation and/or differentiation. Results We show here that PELO is associated with actin microfilaments of mammalian cells. Overexpression of human PELO in Hep2G cells had prominent effect on cell growth, cytoskeleton organization and cell spreading. To find proteins interacting with PELO, full-length human PELO cDNA was used as a bait in a yeast two-hybrid screening assay. Partial sequences of HAX1, EIF3G and SRPX protein were identified as PELO-interacting partners from the screening. The interactions between PELO and HAX1, EIF3G and SRPX were confirmed in vitro by GST pull-down assays and in vivo by co-immunoprecipitation. Furthermore, the PELO interaction domain was mapped to residues 268-385 containing the c-terminal and acidic tail domain. By bimolecular fluorescence complementation assay (BiFC), we found that protein complexes resulting from the interactions between PELO and either HAX1, EIF3G or SRPX were mainly localized to cytoskeletal filaments. Conclusion We could show that PELO is subcellularly localized at the actin cytoskeleton, interacts with HAX1, EIF3G and SRPX proteins and that this interaction occurs at the cytoskeleton. Binding of PELO to cytoskeleton-associated proteins may facilitate PELO to detect and degrade aberrant mRNAs, at which the ribosome is stalled during translation.

164. Estimating the contribution of beekeeping to household wellbeing and conservation motivations in the Tanzanian Miombo

Abstract

Beekeeping is used by numerous development agencies in their efforts to promote livelihood activities that reduce poverty and provide incentives for forest conservation. Besides short-term monetary focused project evaluation reports, there is little evidence on the effectiveness of beekeeping to achieve the above goals. In this thesis I set out to examine the contribution of beekeeping to household wellbeing and conservation motivations. I conducted this study in four rural communities in Central Tanzania using a mixed methods approach. First, I identified predictors of beekeeping adoption, dependence, and success. I found that beekeepers were often also livestock keepers and wild honey hunters. The results also indicate that beekeeping uptake was mainly motivated by the prospect of cash income, but the lack of suitable land, means to acquire hives and technical knowledge were significant inhibitors. I also found that beekeeping training provided by governmental organisations did not lead to improved beekeeping success when compared to local training provided by neighbours and family members. Lastly, elite capture of project benefits was a frequent occurrence when project participation was linked to the requirement to form associations. I then assessed whether beekeepers were better-off in ten crucial life domains than their non-beekeeping peers and whether beekeeping was effective in filling an income gap during the agricultural year. I observed that beekeepers were more food secure, more resilient and had more farm-and non-farm assets. I found that beekeeping income contributed to additional cash income during distinct periods of the year, but did not fully bridge shortage periods. Finally, I analysed the associations between beekeeping and conservation by assessing a range of factors contributing to forest-friendly behaviour. I found beekeeping to be linked to more intensive forest use, more positive attitudes towards the forest and a stronger appreciation of conservation benefits. These observed effects were however mitigated by beekeepers' engagement in forest destructive behaviours and their insufficient influence within their communities to protect forest resources. These findings are of importance, as considerable efforts are being paid to the promotion of beekeeping in developing countries, including in the context of REDD+. The methodology chosen for this research as well as the short extent of time spent in study communities preclude however definite conclusions on differences between beekeepers' and non-beekeepers' wellbeing and conservation impact. Given how ubiquitous xi engagement in beekeeping in Tanzania is, it is entirely conceivable that the benefits of beekeeping on wellbeing and conservation motivations are either much larger - yet not captured in the data collected for this study - or that they offer a relative easily accessible supplement to local livelihoods where alternatives are scarce. The results of this study can still point to opportunities for better-targeted investment in beekeeping in the context of linked conservation and development interventions by improving the selection of beneficiaries and the design of project delivery mechanisms, setting in place a range of factors which can improve beekeeping benefits and identifying further measures potentially needed to achieve enhanced livelihood and conservation goals.

182. A Study of Retrospective and Concurrent Foreign Language Learning Experiences: A Comparative Interview Study in Hungary

Author

Csizér, Kata and Kálmán, Csaba

Abstract

Despite the fact that the influence of learning experiences on foreign language learning motivation has been widely acknowledged and emphasised, there are hardly any studies concentrating on these learning experiences. Hence, the aim of this study is to map the language learning experiences of former and current language learners in order to provide a detailed account of the possible components of the foreign language learning experience. Data were collected with the help of a qualitative interview schedule involving 22 language learners in two subsamples. Ten participants are English language teachers as former foreign language learners, while 12 students, current learners of English, have also been recruited. The most important result of our study is that foreign language learning experience seems to be a complex construct including immediate and present aspects as well as self-related components and attributions. Language learning success, the teacher's personality, contact experiences, as well as attitudes towards the L2 seem to stand out as important components for both groups of learners. Apart from discussing the differences and similarities between retrospective and concurrent experiences, we will provide pedagogical and research-related implications as well.

183. Change-point detection based on weighted two-sample U-statistics

Abstract

We investigate the large-sample behavior of change-point tests based on weighted two-sample U-statistics, in the case of short-range dependent data. Under some mild mixing conditions, we establish convergence of the test statistic to an extreme value distribution. A simulation study shows that the weighted tests are superior to the non-weighted versions when the change-point occurs near the boundary of the time interval, while they loose power in the center.
