- Precarious manhood beliefs portray manhood, relative to womanhood, as a social status that is hard to earn, easy to lose, and proven via public action. Here, we present cross-cultural data on a brief measure of precarious manhood beliefs (the Precarious Manhood Beliefs scale [PMB]) that covaries meaningfully with other cross-culturally validated gender ideologies and with country-level indices of gender equality and human development. Using data from university samples in 62 countries across 13 world regions (N = 33,417), we demonstrate: (1) the psychometric isomorphism of the PMB (i.e., its comparability in meaning and statistical properties across the individual and country levels); (2) the PMB's distinctness from, and associations with, ambivalent sexism and ambivalence toward men; and (3) associations of the PMB with nation-level gender equality and human development. Findings are discussed in terms of their statistical and theoretical implications for understanding widely-held beliefs about the precariousness of the male gender role.

- Composites of carbon nanofibres (CNF) (30-50 nm diam., length up to 1 mu m) in two polymer matrices (polybutadiene-styrene and polypyrrhol) show strong non-linearities of conductivity vs. CNF concentration. We have studied their voltage-current dependencies, and observed correlation of their extrema and layer morphology. Multistability of conductivity is discovered, with apparent effect of magnetic field effect on it in polypyrrhol-based composites. In addition CNF spatial configuration influence on layers' conductivity is discussed.

- Background: The relevance of blood lipid concentrations to long-term incidence of cardiovascular disease and the relevance of lipid-lowering therapy for cardiovascular disease outcomes is unclear. We investigated the cardiovascular disease risk associated with the full spectrum of bloodstream non-HDL cholesterol concentrations. We also created an easy-to-use tool to estimate the long-term probabilities for a cardiovascular disease event associated with non-HDL cholesterol and modelled its risk reduction by lipid-lowering treatment.Methods: In this risk-evaluation and risk-modelling study, we used Multinational Cardiovascular Risk Consortium data from 19 countries across Europe, Australia, and North America. Individuals without prevalent cardiovascular disease at baseline and with robust available data on cardiovascular disease outcomes were included. The primary composite endpoint of atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease was defined as the occurrence of the coronary heart disease event or ischaemic stroke. Sex-specific multivariable analyses were computed using non-HDL cholesterol categories according to the European guideline thresholds, adjusted for age, sex, cohort, and classical modifiable cardiovascular risk factors. In a derivation and validation design, we created a tool to estimate the probabilities of a cardiovascular disease event by the age of 75 years, dependent on age, sex, and risk factors, and the associated modelled risk reduction, assuming a 50% reduction of non-HDL cholesterol.Findings: Of the 524 444 individuals in the 44 cohorts in the Consortium database, we identified 398 846 individuals belonging to 38 cohorts (184 055 [48·7%] women; median age 51·0 years [IQR 40·7–59·7]). 199 415 individuals were included in the derivation cohort (91 786 [48·4%] women) and 199 431 (92 269 [49·1%] women) in the validation cohort. During a maximum follow-up of 43·6 years (median 13·5 years, IQR 7·0–20·1), 54 542 cardiovascular endpoints occurred. Incidence curve analyses showed progressively higher 30-year cardiovascular disease event-rates for increasing non-HDL cholesterol categories (from 7·7% for non-HDL cholesterol <2·6 mmol/L to 33·7% for ≥5·7 mmol/L in women and from 12·8% to 43·6% in men; p<0·0001). Multivariable adjusted Cox models with non-HDL cholesterol lower than 2·6 mmol/L as reference showed an increase in the association between non-HDL cholesterol concentration and cardiovascular disease for both sexes (from hazard ratio 1·1, 95% CI 1·0–1·3 for non-HDL cholesterol 2·6 to <3·7 mmol/L to 1·9, 1·6–2·2 for ≥5·7 mmol/L in women and from 1·1, 1·0–1·3 to 2·3, 2·0–2·5 in men). The derived tool allowed the estimation of cardiovascular disease event probabilities specific for non-HDL cholesterol with high comparability between the derivation and validation cohorts as reflected by smooth calibration curves analyses and a root mean square error lower than 1% for the estimated probabilities of cardiovascular disease. A 50% reduction of non-HDL cholesterol concentrations was associated with reduced risk of a cardiovascular disease event by the age of 75 years, and this risk reduction was greater the earlier cholesterol concentrations were reduced.Interpretation: Non-HDL cholesterol concentrations in blood are strongly associated with long-term risk of atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease. We provide a simple tool for individual long-term risk assessment and the potential benefit of early lipid-lowering intervention. These data could be useful for physician–patient communication about primary prevention strategies.

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- This paper presents a validation study of SCanning Imaging Absorption spectroMeter for Atmospheric CHartographY (SCIAMACHY) carbon monoxide (CO) total column measurements from the Iterative Maximum Likelihood Method (IMLM) algorithm using ground-based spectrometer observations from twenty surface stations for the five year time period of 2003-2007. Overall we find a good agreement between SCIAMACHY and ground-based observations for both mean values as well as seasonal variations. For high-latitude Northern Hemisphere stations absolute differences between SCIAMACHY and ground-based measurements are close to or fall within the SCIAMACHY CO 2 sigma precision of 0.2 x 10(18) molecules/cm(2) (similar to 10%) indicating that SCIAMACHY can observe CO accurately at high Northern Hemisphere latitudes. For Northern Hemisphere mid-latitude stations the validation is complicated due to the vicinity of emission sources for almost all stations, leading to higher ground-based measurements compared to SCIAMACHY CO within its typical sampling area of 8 degrees x 8 degrees. Comparisons with Northern Hemisphere mountain stations are hampered by elevation effects. After accounting for these effects, the validation provides satisfactory results. At Southern Hemisphere mid-to high latitudes SCIAMACHY is systematically lower than the ground-based measurements for 2003 and 2004, but for 2005 and later years the differences between SCIAMACHY and ground-based measurements fall within the SCIAMACHY precision. The 2003-2004 bias is consistent with previously reported results although its origin remains under investigation. No other systematic spatial or temporal biases could be identified based on the validation presented in this paper. Validation results are robust with regard to the choices of the instrument-noise error filter, sampling area, and time averaging required for the validation of SCIAMACHY CO total column measurements. Finally, our results show that the spatial coverage of the ground-based measurements available for the validation of the 2003-2007 SCIAMACHY CO columns is sub-optimal for validation purposes, and that the recent and ongoing expansion of the ground-based network by carefully selecting new locations may be very beneficial for SCIAMACHY CO and other satellite trace gas measurements validation efforts.

- Previous studies identified engulfment adapter phosphotyrosine binding (PTB) domain containing 1 (GULP1) as an NPXY-motif interactor of low-density lipoprotein receptor-related protein 1 (LRP1) and suggested a potential relevance in Alzheimer's disease (AD). Since AD associated proteins amyloid-beta A4 precursor protein (APP) and LRP1 were shown to interact with the PTB domain of Fe65 and several other adapters via their intracellular NPXY-motifs, we examined a possible interaction of GULP1 PTB domain with the YENPTY-motif of APP. Here we demonstrate that GULP1 is present in human hippocampal and neocortical neurons. Confocal live cell imaging revealed that coexpressed and endogenous GULP1 colocalizes with APP in the Golgi and endoplasmic reticulum. Analysis of the interacting domains by co-immunoprecipitation of point and deletion mutants revealed that the interaction depends on the PTB domain of GULP1 and the YENPTY-motif of APP. Coexpression of GULP1 affected APP cell surface localization and suppressed generation of Abeta40/42 and sAPPalpha. Taken together, these data identify GULP1 as a novel neuronal APP interacting protein that alters trafficking and processing of APP.

- We have presented recently a mechanism of ferromagnetism in polymeric fullerene phases based on spin and charge transfer from nonmagnetic donor or acceptor centers into fullerene molecules. In this work, the interaction between magnetic moments of the paramagnetic C60R radical adducts (R = H, F, OH) dispersed in the 2D polymeric network is examined by using UB3LYP hybrid density functional method at 3-21G level. The results show that the interaction is ferromagnetic, strong and long-range.

- A mechanism of the ferromagnetism in the polymerized fullerene phase is proposed. We show that non‐magnetic defects and impurities give rise to a magnetic transition in the polymerized fullerene matrix. In our model, C60 molecules acquire spin and charge and become magnetically active due to the spin and charge transfer from non‐magnetic dopants. The interaction between magnetic moments of the arising paramagnetic species (C60 ± ions or C60 R radical adducts) dispersed in the polymeric network is inspected by using ab initio Hartree‐Fock and B3LYP hybrid density functional methods. It is revealed that the interaction is ferromagnetic and large enough for creating the high‐T c magnetism.

- The general trend in the shift of electronic properties as the result of polymerization has been studied with the aid of temperature dependences of conductivity. Samples representing the pure rhombohedral phase exhibit great anisotropy in their electrical properties. The main features of the behaviour of these samples are: (i) in the z-direction the resistivity is of the order of several kOhm cm and decreases with temperature; (ii) in the x-y direction resistivity is less than 1 Ohm cm and shows a minimum at a certain temperature.

- The electrical properties of two-dimensionally polymerized C60 fullerenes were studied. Fullerene matrices consisting of randomly oriented domains are compared to the highly-oriented rhombohedral phase. The conductivity of the randomly oriented polymers obeys the Arrhenius law and can be described in a multiple trapping model. The oriented phase of polymeric C60 shows a distinct anisotropy in the electrical properties with a metallic-like in-plane conductivity at high temperatures.

- A novel method for preparing dilutely hydrogenated fullerenes H:C60 is presented. DFT calculations of the Raman spectra at the B3LYP/3-21G level are compared with the experimental data. Under the laser treatment these phases form a rich variety of dimeric and polymeric structures, quite in contrast to pristine C60 which forms dimers and polymers bonded through the [2 + 2] addition, and in contrast to heavily hydrogenated fullerenes which do not polymerize at all. Dilutely hydrogenated fullerenes polymerize differently, forming both double bonded structures and single bonded dimers. We have shown that dilute hydrogenation of C60 creates large amount of unpaired spins which disappear due to the formation of diamagnetic single bonded dimers.

- Room temperature ferromagnetic-like behavior in fullerene photopolymerized films treated with monatomic hydrogen is reported. The hydrogen treatment controllably varies the paramagnetic spin concentration and laser induced polymerization transforms the paramagnetic phase to a ferromagnetic-like one. Excess laser irradiation destroys magnetic ordering, presumably due to structural changes, which was continuously monitored by Raman spectroscopy. We suggest an interpretation of the data based on first-principles density-functional spin-unrestricted calculations which show that the excess spin from mono-atomic hydrogen is delocalized within the host fullerene and the laser-induced polymerization promotes spin exchange interaction and spin alignment in the polymerized phase.

- One of the fundamental applications for monolayer-thick 2D materials is their use as protective layers of metal surfaces and in situ intercalated reactive materials in ambient conditions. Here we investigate the structural, electronic, and magnetic properties, as well as the chemical stability in air of a very reactive metal, Europium, after intercalation between a hexagonal boron nitride (hBN) layer and a Pt substrate. We demonstrate that Eu intercalation leads to a hBN-covered ferromagnetic EuPt2 surface alloy with divalent Eu2+ atoms at the interface. We expose the system to ambient conditions and find a partial conservation of the di-valent signal and hence the Eu-Pt interface. The use of a curved Pt substrate allows us to explore the changes in the Eu valence state and the ambient pressure protection at different substrate planes. The interfacial EuPt2 surface alloy formation remains the same, but the resistance of the protecting hBN layer to ambient conditions is reduced, likely due to a rougher surface and a more discontinuous hBN coating.

Differential Translation Tunes Uneven Production of Operon-Encoded Proteins

- Clustering of functionally related genes in operons allows for coregulated gene expression in prokaryotes. This is advantageous when equal amounts of gene products are required. Production of protein complexes with an uneven stoichiometry, however, requires tuning mechanisms to generate subunits in appropriate relative quantities. Using comparative genomic analysis, we show that differential translation is a key determinant of modulated expression of genes clustered in operons and that codon bias generally is the best in silico indicator of unequal protein production. Variable ribosome density profiles of polycistronic transcripts correlate strongly with differential translation patterns. In addition, we provide experimental evidence that de novo initiation of translation can occur at intercistronic sites, allowing for differential translation of any gene irrespective of its position on a polycistronic messenger. Thus, modulation of translation efficiency appears to be a universal mode of control in bacteria and archaea that allows for differential production of operon-encoded proteins.

- In this work we report on the single-step synthesis of CdSe microwires with good crystalline characteristics by template-assisted electrochemical deposition from an electrolytic solution containing CdSO4Ce+CeSeO2 and sulfuric acid. Deposition was conducted at three different temperatures (25 degrees C, 60 degrees C and 80 degrees C) under potentiostatic control using a commercial nanoporous alumina membrane as the working electrode. The best results were obtained when the electrodeposition was carried out at E=-0.610 V vs. Ag/AgCl and T=80 degrees C. Under these experimental conditions, the microwires are uniform, well aligned, have a high packing density, and present a good crystalline character according to XRD analysis. TEM observations revealed that they are dense and continuous, with a mean diameter ranging from 360-380 nm, greater than the channel diameters of the alumina template used. A detailed study of the reflectance in the region close to CdSe bandgap energy allows the determination of a weak direct absorption edge at 1.65 eV, close to the bulk bandgap energy. The Raman spectra consist of a strong mode centered at 208 cm(-1) arising from the LO phonon and a somewhat weak, but still strong, mode arising from the second order LO (2LO) appearing at 415 cm(-1)

- The new Mn12 magnetic clusters with 4-cyanobenzenecarboxylate ligand, [Mn12O12(O2CC6H4-p-CN)16(H2O)4] (1) and its singly (2) and doubly (3) reduced analogues as their tetraphenylphosphonium salts, have been synthesized and characterized by elemental analyses, Raman, ESI-MS spectra and magnetic measurements with a SQUID magnetometer. Unlike the known Mn12 oxocarboxylate clusters, which are very soluble in CH3CN or CH2Cl2, the complex 1 is not dissolved in organic solvents providing an indication for strong intermolecular interactions which lead to strong dipole-dipole interactions between clusters and affect the magnetic behaviour. The one-electron and two-electron reduced clusters (2, 3) contain the bulk counterion and dissolve in CH3CN. They show magnetic properties characteristic for anion Mn12 single-molecule magnets.

- The Sentinel-5 Precursor (S5P) mission with the TROPOspheric Monitoring Instrument (TROPOMI) on board has been measuring solar radiation backscattered by the Earth's atmosphere and surface since its launch on 13 October 2017. In this paper, we present for the first time the S5P operational methane (CH4) and carbon monoxide (CO) products' validation results covering a period of about 3 years using global Total Carbon Column Observing Network (TCCON) and Infrared Working Group of the Network for the Detection of Atmospheric Composition Change (NDACC-IRWG) network data, accounting for a priori alignment and smoothing uncertainties in the validation, and testing the sensitivity of validation results towards the application of advanced co-location criteria. We found that the S5P standard and bias-corrected CH4 data over land surface for the recommended quality filtering fulfil the mission requirements. The systematic difference of the bias-corrected total column-averaged dry air mole fraction of methane (XCH4) data with respect to TCCON data is -0.26 +/- 0.56 % in comparison to -0.68 +/- 0.74 % for the standard XCH4 data, with a correlation of 0.6 for most stations. The bias shows a seasonal dependence. We found that the S5P CO data over all surfaces for the recommended quality filtering generally fulfil the missions requirements, with a few exceptions, which are mostly due to co-location mismatches and limited availability of data. The systematic difference between the S5P total column-averaged dry air mole fraction of carbon monoxide (XCO) and the TCCON data is on average 9.22 +/- 3.45 % (standard TCCON XCO) and 2.45 +/- 3.38 % (unscaled TCCON XCO). We found that the systematic difference between the S5P CO column and NDACC CO column (excluding two outlier stations) is on average 6.5 +/- 3.54 %. We found a correlation of above 0.9 for most TCCON and NDACC stations. The study shows the high quality of S5P CH4 and CO data by validating the products against reference global TCCON and NDACC stations covering a wide range of latitudinal bands, atmospheric conditions and surface conditions.

- Thin films of FeSe0.92 and FeSe0.5Te0.5 iron chalcogenide superconductors and solid solutions containing these components in different ratios have been grown on the surface of LaAlO3 (10 1¯ 2) crystals by pulsed laser deposition. Films of solid solutions have been deposited by simultaneous laser ablation from two targets of the FeSe0.92 and FeSe0.5Te0.5 stoichiometric compositions onto one substrate. An X-ray diffraction study of the film structure shows that the films grown are epitaxial and their lattice parameters regularly vary with the ratio of the deposited components, which was controllably varied by changing the ablation intensities from the targets.
