Abstract

Effective patient education is critical for managing Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus (T2DM), one of the most common chronic diseases in the United States. While some studies focus on the information-seeking behavior of T2DM patients, other self-education behaviors including information processing and utilization are rarely explored in the context of T2DM. This study sought to assess two self-education behaviors of type 2 diabetics, namely, information seeking and information processing, to understand more about how these behaviors affect the self-management of this common chronic disease. Semi-structured interviews were conducted with 8 English speaking T2DM patients and qualitative content analysis techniques were performed to analyze their responses. The information seeking and processing behaviors vary across individuals based on their prognosis of T2DM, information needs, and personal preferences. Patients are often dissatisfied with information from official sources, have difficulty evaluating the trustworthiness of information sources, and desire information that is more personally relevant to them. Several participants identified a lack of personalized information as a key factor in the inability to adhere to T2DM management guidelines, which led them to experience increased glucose levels, difficulty managing A1C levels, frustration, and anxiety. They mentioned that they followed trial and error based approaches to tailor information according to their needs and physiological conditions. Many participants identified conflicting or inconsistent information from different sources as a major barrier to information processing. The results of this study indicate a need for authentic, consistent, and individualized information for type 2 diabetics.

Abstract

Prehistoric records of subduction earthquakes are often distinguished by evidence of synchronous widespread coastal deformation, the extent of which negates the plausibility of alternative source faults. At the Hi-kurangi subduction margin in New Zealand, untangling the record of subduction interface ruptures is complicated. Large earthquake age uncertainties inhibit unique solutions of along-strike correlations, and complex patterns of coastal deformation caused by upper-plate faulting prevent reliable indication of source faults. In this work, we improved paleoearthquake reconstructions on the central Hikurangi margin with a new, well-constrained 5000 yr earthquake record from Pakuratahi Valley near Napier, North Island, New Zealand. Evidence of laterally extensive paleoenvironmental changes is consistent with coseismic subsidence and coseismic uplift in large earthquakes. Radiocarbon dates on fragile terrestrial macrofossils and tephra isochrons were used to construct robust age models that yielded earthquake ages of 4839-4601 calibrated (cal.) yr B.P., 3630-3564 cal. yr B.P., 2687-2439 cal. yr B.P., and 1228-823 cal. yr B.P. Integration of these ages with refined earthquake chronology from nearby Ahuriri Lagoon indicated that the next large earthquake impacting the Napier area is more likely to cause coastal subsidence than uplift. Drawing on correlations with cotemporal evidence elsewhere on the central margin, we infer that the overall patterns of coseismic deformation could be generated by either rupture of the subduction interface or upper-plate faults, or both. This inability to separate source faults for past earthquakes limits the efficiency of forecasting future earthquakes. Similar problems of intertwined paleoearthquake signatures likely apply to other plate boundaries, where we recommend cautious interpretation of coastal deformation to accurately address the hazard from both types of source faults.

Abstract

Despite considerable progress in conceptualization of sense of place through multiple disciplines, there is still room for further clarification in light of its utility for planning research and practice. This discussion paper posits that sense of place can be conceptualized for planning based on two factors: 1) the type of function for using the concept (evaluative, leveraging and enhancing); and 2) the unit at which a sense occurs, or place of sense (individual-, place-level, or an interaction of individual, place, and other people). Through some illustrated examples, we demonstrate how the conceptual framework we propose can be used to better identify specific sense of place attributes and associated planning actions. While doing so, we also attempt to relate sense of place discourses with the roles of planning in environmental stewardship and promotion of health and well-being, which have previously been less articulated. Keywords: sense of place; place of sense; environmental stewardship, health and well-being Malgre les progres considerables de la conceptualisation du <> a travers de multiple discipline, il reste encore de la place pour une clarification supplementaire a la lumiere de son utilite dans une gamme de recherches et de pratiques en matiere de planification. Cet article postule que le <> peut etre conceptualise pour la planification en fonction de deux facteurs : 1) le type de fonction d'utilisation du concept (evaluation, efet de levier et amelioration); 2) l'unite a laquelle un sens se produit, ou le <> (au niveau de l'individu, du lieu et ou une interaction d'un individu, d'un lieu et avec d'autres personnes). A travers quelques exemples, nous demontrons comment le cadre conceptuel que nous proposons peut-etre utiliser pour mieux identifier les attributs specifques du <> et les actions de planification associees. Ce faisant, nous tentons egalement d'integrer les discours sur le sentiment d'appartenance pour les roles qui sont moins articules dans la planification--la gerance de l'environnement et la promotion de la sante et du bien-etre. Mots-cles : <>; lieu de sens; gerance de l'environnement ; sante et du bien-etre, Introduction Sense of place has been a subject of inquiry for over four decades of multidisciplinary scholarship (Williams 2014). In recent years, sense of place and its many related terms [...]

22. Mechanisms underlying bypass of the essential telomere-capping protein Cdc13

Author

Abstract

In S. cerevisiae, Cdc13-Stn1-Ten (CST) caps chromosome ends (telomeres). Cdc13 binds telomeric single-stranded DNA and with Stn1 and Ten1 protects the telomere end from attack by DNA damage response (DDR) factors. All three CST genes are essential for cell viability, however the requirement for CDC13 can be bypassed in strains lacking the nonsense-mediated mRNA decay (NMD) gene NMD2 and the DDR genes EXO1 (encoding a 3’-5’ exonuclease) and RAD24 (encoding a DNA damage checkpoint protein). This PhD aimed to determine the mechanisms underlying Cdc13 bypass. One mechanism identified was that Stn1 is at telomeres in the absence of Cdc13, suggesting that Stn1 has a telomere protection role separate from Cdc13. To uncover the mechanisms underlying Cdc13 bypass, a synthetic genetic array (SGA) screen was conducted using an nmd2 exo1 cdc13 query strain crossed with a library of single gene deletion mutants. Rif1, which has telomeric and genome-wide roles, was found to be an absolute requirement for Cdc13 bypass. This result was confirmed by low-throughput methods. By analysing the phenotypes of rif1 mutant alleles in a viable cdc13 strain it was possible to deduce the functions of Rif1 required for Cdc13 bypass. Remarkably, the putative HEAT-repeat domain and Glc7 (Protein Phosphatase 1) interaction sites were found to be essential. It is proposed that Rif1 uses this domain to interact with Ten1 to link CST with Rif1/Rap1/Rif2 to form a shelterin-like complex. Finally, evidence was found that Rad52-mediated recombination and long telomeres, with extended TG1-3 repeats, promote Cdc13 bypass. Overall, multiple mechanisms underlie Cdc13 bypass: Stn1 activity, Rif1 interactions and recombination of telomeric TG1-3 repeats.

Abstract

ABSTRACTThe New Zealand Community Fault Model (NZ CFM) is a publicly available representation of New Zealand fault zones that have the potential to produce damaging earthquakes. Compiled through collaborative engagement between New Zealand earthquake-science experts, this first edition (version 1.0) of the NZ CFM builds upon previous compilations of earthquake-source active fault models with the addition of new and modified information. Developed primarily to support an update of the New Zealand National Seismic Hazard Model, the NZ CFM comprises two principal components. The first dataset is a two-dimensional map representation of the surface traces of 880 generalised fault zones. Each fault zone is assigned specific geometric and kinematic attributes, including uncertainties, supplemented with a subjective quality ranking focused primarily on the confidence in assigned slip rates. The second component is a three-dimensional representation of the fault zones as triangulated mesh surfaces that are projected down-dip from the two-dimensional mapped traces to a geophysically-defined maximum fault rupture depth. This article summarises the compilation and parameterisation of the NZ CFM, along with background on its relation to predecessor datasets, and forward applications to probabilistic seismic hazard assessment and physics-based earthquake models currently being developed for Aotearoa New Zealand.
