Toxic effects of heavy metals : Lead and Arsenicsanjana502982
Heavy metals are naturally occuring metallic chemical elements that have relatively high density, and are toxic at even low concentrations. All toxic metals are termed as heavy metals irrespective of their atomic mass and density, eg. arsenic, lead, mercury, cadmium, thallium, chromium, etc.
Observation of Io’s Resurfacing via Plume Deposition Using Ground-based Adapt...Sérgio Sacani
Since volcanic activity was first discovered on Io from Voyager images in 1979, changes
on Io’s surface have been monitored from both spacecraft and ground-based telescopes.
Here, we present the highest spatial resolution images of Io ever obtained from a groundbased telescope. These images, acquired by the SHARK-VIS instrument on the Large
Binocular Telescope, show evidence of a major resurfacing event on Io’s trailing hemisphere. When compared to the most recent spacecraft images, the SHARK-VIS images
show that a plume deposit from a powerful eruption at Pillan Patera has covered part
of the long-lived Pele plume deposit. Although this type of resurfacing event may be common on Io, few have been detected due to the rarity of spacecraft visits and the previously low spatial resolution available from Earth-based telescopes. The SHARK-VIS instrument ushers in a new era of high resolution imaging of Io’s surface using adaptive
optics at visible wavelengths.

Slide 1: Title Slide
Extrachromosomal Inheritance
Slide 2: Introduction to Extrachromosomal Inheritance
Definition: Extrachromosomal inheritance refers to the transmission of genetic material that is not found within the nucleus.
Key Components: Involves genes located in mitochondria, chloroplasts, and plasmids.
Slide 3: Mitochondrial Inheritance
Mitochondria: Organelles responsible for energy production.
Mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA): Circular DNA molecule found in mitochondria.
Inheritance Pattern: Maternally inherited, meaning it is passed from mothers to all their offspring.
Diseases: Examples include Leber’s hereditary optic neuropathy (LHON) and mitochondrial myopathy.
Slide 4: Chloroplast Inheritance
Chloroplasts: Organelles responsible for photosynthesis in plants.
Chloroplast DNA (cpDNA): Circular DNA molecule found in chloroplasts.
Inheritance Pattern: Often maternally inherited in most plants, but can vary in some species.
Examples: Variegation in plants, where leaf color patterns are determined by chloroplast DNA.
Slide 5: Plasmid Inheritance
Plasmids: Small, circular DNA molecules found in bacteria and some eukaryotes.
Features: Can carry antibiotic resistance genes and can be transferred between cells through processes like conjugation.
Significance: Important in biotechnology for gene cloning and genetic engineering.
Slide 6: Mechanisms of Extrachromosomal Inheritance
Non-Mendelian Patterns: Do not follow Mendel’s laws of inheritance.
Cytoplasmic Segregation: During cell division, organelles like mitochondria and chloroplasts are randomly distributed to daughter cells.
Heteroplasmy: Presence of more than one type of organellar genome within a cell, leading to variation in expression.
Slide 7: Examples of Extrachromosomal Inheritance
Four O’clock Plant (Mirabilis jalapa): Shows variegated leaves due to different cpDNA in leaf cells.
Petite Mutants in Yeast: Result from mutations in mitochondrial DNA affecting respiration.
Slide 8: Importance of Extrachromosomal Inheritance
Evolution: Provides insight into the evolution of eukaryotic cells.
Medicine: Understanding mitochondrial inheritance helps in diagnosing and treating mitochondrial diseases.

Deep Behavioral Phenotyping in Systems Neuroscience for Functional Atlasing a...Ana Luísa Pinho
Functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging (fMRI) provides means to characterize brain activations in response to behavior. However, cognitive neuroscience has been limited to group-level effects referring to the performance of specific tasks. To obtain the functional profile of elementary cognitive mechanisms, the combination of brain responses to many tasks is required. Yet, to date, both structural atlases and parcellation-based activations do not fully account for cognitive function and still present several limitations. Further, they do not adapt overall to individual characteristics. In this talk, I will give an account of deep-behavioral phenotyping strategies, namely data-driven methods in large task-fMRI datasets, to optimize functional brain-data collection and improve inference of effects-of-interest related to mental processes. Key to this approach is the employment of fast multi-functional paradigms rich on features that can be well parametrized and, consequently, facilitate the creation of psycho-physiological constructs to be modelled with imaging data. Particular emphasis will be given to music stimuli when studying high-order cognitive mechanisms, due to their ecological nature and quality to enable complex behavior compounded by discrete entities. I will also discuss how deep-behavioral phenotyping and individualized models applied to neuroimaging data can better account for the subject-specific organization of domain-general cognitive systems in the human brain. Finally, the accumulation of functional brain signatures brings the possibility to clarify relationships among tasks and create a univocal link between brain systems and mental functions through: (1) the development of ontologies proposing an organization of cognitive processes; and (2) brain-network taxonomies describing functional specialization. To this end, tools to improve commensurability in cognitive science are necessary, such as public repositories, ontology-based platforms and automated meta-analysis tools. I will thus discuss some brain-atlasing resources currently under development, and their applicability in cognitive as well as clinical neuroscience.
(May 29th, 2024) Advancements in Intravital Microscopy- Insights for Preclini...Scintica Instrumentation
Intravital microscopy (IVM) is a powerful tool utilized to study cellular behavior over time and space in vivo. Much of our understanding of cell biology has been accomplished using various in vitro and ex vivo methods; however, these studies do not necessarily reflect the natural dynamics of biological processes. Unlike traditional cell culture or fixed tissue imaging, IVM allows for the ultra-fast high-resolution imaging of cellular processes over time and space and were studied in its natural environment. Real-time visualization of biological processes in the context of an intact organism helps maintain physiological relevance and provide insights into the progression of disease, response to treatments or developmental processes.
In this webinar we give an overview of advanced applications of the IVM system in preclinical research. IVIM technology is a provider of all-in-one intravital microscopy systems and solutions optimized for in vivo imaging of live animal models at sub-micron resolution. The system’s unique features and user-friendly software enables researchers to probe fast dynamic biological processes such as immune cell tracking, cell-cell interaction as well as vascularization and tumor metastasis with exceptional detail. This webinar will also give an overview of IVM being utilized in drug development, offering a view into the intricate interaction between drugs/nanoparticles and tissues in vivo and allows for the evaluation of therapeutic intervention in a variety of tissues and organs. This interdisciplinary collaboration continues to drive the advancements of novel therapeutic strategies.
Nutraceutical market, scope and growth: Herbal drug technologyLokesh Patil
As consumer awareness of health and wellness rises, the nutraceutical market—which includes goods like functional meals, drinks, and dietary supplements that provide health advantages beyond basic nutrition—is growing significantly. As healthcare expenses rise, the population ages, and people want natural and preventative health solutions more and more, this industry is increasing quickly. Further driving market expansion are product formulation innovations and the use of cutting-edge technology for customized nutrition. With its worldwide reach, the nutraceutical industry is expected to keep growing and provide significant chances for research and investment in a number of categories, including vitamins, minerals, probiotics, and herbal supplements.

Strategic Foresight
Foresight in the CGIAR : Concept Note and Terms
of Reference for a Working Group
Albino Maggio
University of Naples Federico II
2. Concept note on the background and
rationale of the foresight work and the initial
steps in the process and the program of work
The ISPC Task Force recommended that the ISPC play a
role in advising the System Council on scientific foresight,
to inform updating of the CGIAR Strategy and Results
Framework (SRF).
ISPC will oversee the implementation of strategic
foresight, once the scope has been set by the SC.
ISPC and Strategic Foresight
3. The purpose of the CGIAR System is to advance agri-food science and innovation
to enable poor people, especially women, to better nourish their families, and
improve productivity and resilience so they can share in economic growth and
manage natural resources in the face of climate change and other challenges.
CGIAR Mandate and Forward Looking
While the purpose of the CGIAR is fixed and clear, how best
to manage agricultural research to achieve this purpose could
change over time.
Need for a more effective alignment of research strategies
with overall objectives.
Foresight can help in this process by looking at alternative
plausible futures to try to understand the overall role of
agricultural research in fulfilling the purpose of CGIAR, and
then the overall role of CGIAR research within that set.
4. It has been acknowledged the value of foresight in
addressing complex issues and analyzing future scenarios.
A large body of literature on foresight and foresight-like
studies on food and nutrition security, poverty alleviation,
agriculture sustainability and management of natural
resources has been produced.
Foresight is a well-known tool
5.
6.
7. ISCP work on prioritization, urbanization and farm size, crop
improvement and agricultural expansion, theory of change
Work stemmed from international networks in which CGIAR
plays an active role. The Forward Thinking Platform, The
Grassroots Foresight Initiative, The Global Foresight Hub
Inter-center initiatives: Systemwide Program on Collective
Action and Property Rights (CAPRI developed at IFPRI) and
the Global Futures project (IFPRI)
On-going Foresight at CGIAR
8. Rolling collaborations include activities with the Forum for
Agricultural Research in Africa (FARA), Global Forum of Rural
Advisory Services (GFRAS), Young Professional for Agricultural
Development (YPARD) -
CGIAR Research Programs (CRPs) and global integrating programs
(GIP) have all internalized foresight components addressing more
inclusive and participatory research, sustainable aquaculture, the
interaction between livestock development and the environment
and more
On-going Foresight at CGIAR
9. Lack of coordination is a possible constraint
for harmonized outcome of these efforts
10. Most foresight work on food and nutrition security has
framed its analysis on similar drivers:
1) Global population increases
2) Climate change
3) Competition for key resources
4) Societal values
The coordination-to-prioritization
process is not easy
11. 1) Balancing demand and supply sustainably – to ensure that
food supplies are affordable to everyone and in particular
the poorest groups.
2) Ensuring that there is adequate stability in food supplies.
3) Achieving global access to food and ending hunger.
4) Managing the contribution of the food system to the
mitigation of climate change.
5) Maintaining biodiversity and ecosystem services while
feeding the world.
Critical challenges to face if we want to
feed the world and alleviate poverty in a
sustainable way
(distilled)
12. Scenario analyses address the systemic and dynamic nature
of food security and have been used to somehow narrow
down this list and propose stricter prioritization criteria.
However, describing (and using) alternative, equally
plausible futures may open up the opportunity for more
policy options and actions. This is somewhat in contrast
with the need for prioritization, a process that is much
needed in research panning and policy-making.
Scenario Analyses
13. To serve as an overall umbrella to:
Inform the strategy and revision of the SRF
Contribute identifying relevance of CGIAR research
Coordinate streams for better coherence in the CGIAR
Provide relevant context and emerging insights as a basis for
system level prioritization of research
Main objective of the foresight exercise in ISPC
How research Programs and Centers can efficiently operate in
synergy to best respond to emerging needs has to be established
via a systematic process.
Foresight can help to define this process through a participatory
approach.
Foresight starts from looking at
what evidence the world needs to
deliver the SDGs
Finally it narrows it again to where
the CGIAR has a competitive
advantage and within that what is
value for money for use of W1-2
funding
Then narrows that down to
what donor of agricultural
development can fund
14. 1) Scanning a and understanding major S&T
developments, trends and issues (Horizon Scanning)
2) Mobilizing and engaging key stakeholders
3) Generating (new) knowledge through exploration,
analysis and anticipation of possible futures
4) Shaping the future through strategic planning
5) Evaluating/learning
A general foresight process in 5 steps
15. 1) Open to multiple approaches including economic modelling,
analysis of comparative advantage, scenarios to best respond to
complex issues.
2) Cross-linked to science quality to best allocate resources to
potentially highly successful projects.
3) Participatory via bottom-up inclusion of all Centers, CRPs, donors
that will build ownership of the process.
4) Coordinated (by the ICPS) to avoid overlaps and duplication of
efforts and to ensure an objective assessment, without bias from
individual stakeholders.
5) Inclusive by involving in the process other institutions of
international agricultural research organizations.
Imbedding Foresight in the CGIAR systems
(general principles)
16. STAGE 1
The SC will “set the scene” by providing a high level forward-
looking analysis of the global context within and beyond the
CGIAR. This will lead to define key strategic questions and
drivers relevant to the CGIAR mandate and strategic goals.
(i.e. reducing rural poverty, increasing food security, improving
human health and nutrition, and ensuring sustainable
management of natural resources).
Strategic and Scientific Foresight
in a 4 step process
Strategic Fresight (including political
dimensions) will frame the major lines
of expected research based on
megatrends and foreseen scenarios.
Define the System Level Outcomes.
Scientific Foresight - System thinking for
strategic prioritization. Setting actions across
major agro-food systems and addressing
underexplored trends and new areas of research
that need further attention.
17. STAGE 2
Is an Independent Assessment, where the scope should go
through a true brainstorming with a small group of “strategic
thinkers”, on how the futures may look like around grand
challenges, when and how science comes into it, which are
the key questions and how is the world prepared to address
them for reaching and beyond the SDGs
STAGE 3
The outcome of STAGE 1 and STAGE 2 will feed into STAGE
3 for the operational (or scientific) foresight. Here the
scope is to start matching research demand and research
offer (CGIAR comparative advantage) on which the System
will commit to capitalize and invest.
18. STAGE 4
Is the truly operational step that links the STAGES 1-3 process
to research activities and how these can best evolve based
on new knowledge acquired throughout the process.
ISPC will support the activities within STAGE 1 and STAGE 2,
implement, coordinate and supervise the activities of
STAGE 3 and 4, ensure that the entire process is effectively
carried out.
19.
20. At System Level a Foresight Steering Committee (FSC) will be
established and responsible for STAGE 1.
As Independent Assessment, STAGE 2 will not involve CGIAR
associated members.
STAGE 3 and 4 will be managed by an enlarged Foresight Working
Group, responsible for functionalizing the outcome of STAGE 1 and 2
into a structured foresight process (STAGE 3 and 4).
The two foresight levels (STAGE 1-2 strategic and STAGE 3-4 scientific)
will operate harmonically, since the outcome of the strategic
foresight (STAGE 1 and 2) will be the strategic operational frame in
which a first level of priorities (comparative advantage of the CGIAR)
will be set along with possible research gaps identified.
A few operational details
23. Abraham Harold Maslow (April 1,
1908 – June 8, 1970) was an
American psychologist who was best
known for creating Maslow's hierarchy
of needs (prioritization??)
“If all you have is a hammer,
everything looks like a nail”
