Neuro-Immune Abnormalities in Autism and Their Relationship with the Environment: A Variable Insult Model for Autism
Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is a heterogeneous condition affecting an individual’s ability to communicate and socialize and often presents with repetitive movements or behaviors. It tends to be severe with less than 10% achieving independent living with a marked variation in the progression of the condition. To date, the literature supports a multifactorial model with the largest, most detailed twin study demonstrating strong environmental contribution to the development of the condition. Here, we present a brief review of the neurological, immunological, and autonomic abnormalities in ASD focusing on the causative roles of environmental agents and abnormal gut microbiota. We present a working hypothesis attempting to bring together the influence of environment on the abnormal neurological, immunological, and neuroimmunological functions and we explain in brief how such pathophysiology can lead to, and/or exacerbate ASD symptomatology. At present, there is a lack of consistent findings relating to the neurobiology of autism. Whilst we postulate such variable findings may reflect the marked heterogeneity in clinical presentation and as such the variable findings may be of pathophysiological relevance, more research into the neurobiology of autism is necessary before establishing a working hypothesis. Both the literature review and hypothesis presented here explore possible neurobiological explanations with an emphasis of environmental etiologies and are presented with this bias
Calcitonin gene-related peptide is a key neurotransmitter in the neuro-immune axis
The question of how the neural and immune systems interact in host defence is important, integrating a system that senses the whole body with one that protects. Understanding the mechanisms and routes of control could produce novel and powerful ways of promoting and enhancing normal functions as well as preventing or treating abnormal functions. Fragmentation of biological research into specialities has resulted in some failures in recognising and understanding interactions across different systems and this is most striking across immunology, haematology and neuroscience. This reductionist approach does not allow understanding of the in vivo orchestrated response generated through integration of all systems. However, many factors make the understanding of multisystem cross-talk in response to a threat difficult, for instance the nervous and immune systems share communication molecules and receptors for a wide range of physiological signals. But, it is clear that physical, hard-wired connections exist between the two systems, with the key link involving sensory, unmyelinated nerve fibres (c fibres) containing the neuropeptide calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP), and modified macrophages, mast cells and other immune and host defence cells in various locations throughout the body. In this review we will therefore focus on the induction of CGRP and its key role in the neuroimmune axis
In Vivo Time- Resolved Microtomography Reveals the Mechanics of the Blowfly Flight Motor
Dipteran flies are amongst the smallest and most agile of flying animals. Their wings are driven indirectly by large power muscles, which cause cyclical deformations of the thorax that are amplified through the intricate wing hinge. Asymmetric flight manoeuvres are controlled by 13 pairs of steering muscles acting directly on the wing articulations. Collectively the steering muscles account for <3% of total flight muscle mass, raising the question of how they can modulate the vastly greater output of the power muscles during manoeuvres. Here we present the results of a synchrotron-based study performing micrometre-resolution, time-resolved microtomography on the 145 Hz wingbeat of blowflies. These data represent the first four-dimensional visualizations of an organism's internal movements on sub-millisecond and micrometre scales. This technique allows us to visualize and measure the three-dimensional movements of five of the largest steering muscles, and to place these in the context of the deforming thoracic mechanism that the muscles actuate. Our visualizations show that the steering muscles operate through a diverse range of nonlinear mechanisms, revealing several unexpected features that could not have been identified using any other technique. The tendons of some steering muscles buckle on every wingbeat to accommodate high amplitude movements of the wing hinge. Other steering muscles absorb kinetic energy from an oscillating control linkage, which rotates at low wingbeat amplitude but translates at high wingbeat amplitude. Kinetic energy is distributed differently in these two modes of oscillation, which may play a role in asymmetric power management during flight control. Structural flexibility is known to be important to the aerodynamic efficiency of insect wings, and to the function of their indirect power muscles. We show that it is integral also to the operation of the steering muscles, and so to the functional flexibility of the insect flight motor

Pumice as Precursor in Geopolymer Paste and Mortar
Natural rocks of magmatic origin are alternative precursors in alkali-activated materials and provide opportunities in the search for more environmentally friendly binders compared to portland cement. The pumice is one of these rocks and its amorphous structure and chemical composition make it one of the candidates as a precursor in producing geopolymer binder when finely ground. Since the majority of the pumice reserves are located in Turkey increases its potential utilization in this area, even more. This paper evaluates the physical, mechanical, and microstructural properties of geopolymer pastes and mortars manufactured with pumice powder (PP) and ground granulated blast furnace slag (BFS) with the activating agents sodium hydroxide (NaOH), potassium hydroxide (KOH), and sodium silicate (SS) solution. The experimental results showed that the compressive strength of the geopolymer pastes was mainly affected by the activator concentration and the PP ratio, rather than the activator type, for single activator mixes. However, the incorporation of SS changed this trend as the KOH and SS combination resulted in higher compressive strength compared to the NaOH and SS. The gradual increase of the PP ratio in the mix design decreased the density and thermal conductivity, on the other hand, increased the water absorption values of the geopolymer mortars. However, the physical properties were insignificantly changed in geopolymer mortars incorporating 60, 70, and 80% of PP in the binder
Helping Beginning Vloggers to Overcome Cold Start: the Perspective of Identity Construction
Beginning vloggers’ low enthusiasm for Vlog creation has garnered little consideration, even though a social media platform can highly improve user stickiness and user activity by engaging users to generate content. This paper investigates the effects of extrinsic and intrinsic motivations on Vlog creative behavior mediated by cognition and emotion based on social cognitive theory and self-discrepancy theory. The analysis of 342 questionnaire surveys shows that intrinsic motivation (social interaction and social cues presentation) positively affects identity construction and positive emotions. In contrast, extrinsic motivation (community incentives and social norms) only positively affects identity construction and does not significantly influence positive emotions. Identity construction and positive emotions further significantly affect the creative behavior of beginning vloggers. The results reveal the process of Vlog creative behavior and have important practical implications for enhancing the platform performance
Exploring the Influential Factors of Consumers’ Willingness to Purchase Fresh Agricultural Products Online: A Meta-Analysis
What are the key influential factors of consumers’ willingness to purchase fresh agricultural products online? A large number of existing studies indicate that even the same factor has significant inconsistency or even opposite conclusion. Based on this contradiction, this study uses meta-analysis and uniform effect values to analyze the existing researches, and find a more unified conclusion. The results show the degree of self-health concern, the quality, safety and price, online shopping evaluation, the consumers\u27 perceived usefulness, perceived ease of use, and perceived risk in online shopping for fresh agricultural products all have a significant impact on consumers’ online shopping willingness
Agronomy of Lathyrus Species in South Australia
Agronomic studies on Lathyrus sativus and L. cicera, promising forage and/or grain legumes, are presented. Time of seeding, seeding rate and grain recovery following grazing were investigated in preparation for the release of the first Australian commercial cultivars of Lathyrus. Clear optimal seeding rate, time of seeding, and guidelines for grazing have been identified. A seeding rate of 45-60 kg/ha and an early sowing time (June 6 in this experiment) were identified for maximum grain yield. Grain yield following grazing can be equal to ungrazed crops although sufficient time between grazing and flowering is required to ensure adequate grain yields. Lathyrus appears to have considerable potential as a dual purpose forage-grain legume crop
