The papers of the Kathmandu Valley Preservation Trust are one result of the passion of Harvard University Professor Emeritus Eduard F. Sekler. In the 1960s he witnessed the encroachments of progress and the associated threat to buildings in the royal and religious centers of the Kathmandu Valley in Nepal, and co-founded the Trust in 1990 with others interested in documenting the sites and restoring the buildings. The Trust has restored numerous temples, guesthouses, townhouses and shrines in Kathmandu, Patan and Bhaktapur, and in the process has generated vital documentation including measured drawings, photographs, contextual materials, planning reports and feasibility studies. Threats to this material from the natural environment and political turmoil, as well as longstanding ties to Harvard of several of its members, led the Trust to approach the Frances Loeb Library at the University’s Graduate School of Design, where as a result the archive will be housed. The infrastructure developed by Harvard University Library will be used to create a virtual archive available worldwide on the web, as well as a parallel paper archive to be maintained by the Trust in Nepal.

On the Very Idea of Unified Sociology: Harvard and ColumbiaAbstract: The article concentrates on the historical context of American sociology's development in the period between 1930 and 1965, which is here associated with a specific project of the field's unification elaborated at Harvard University and Columbia University. It is argued that the idea of unified sociology is worked in the very project of American sociology as a science and found its genuine expression in the efforts to reach "objectivity and coherence" of sociological thought/knowledge. It also distinctly formed the professional identity of the discipline. It was expected that the scientific integrity would be achieved by means of securing the continuity of theory and practice, which was to provide a general methodological pillar for cumulative research. The historical contextualization of this formative period studies how the very idea of unified sociology affected both theoretical and methodological perspectives within the discipline and also the possibility of its integrated research agenda.O samotné myšlence jednotné sociologie: Harvard a ColumbiaAbstrakt: Článek se zaměřuje na historický kontext vývoje americké sociologie v období mezi lety 1930-1965, jež je spojeno se specifickým projektem sjednocení oboru rozpracovaným na Harvardské a Kolumbijské univerzitě. Samotná myšlenka jednotné sociologie je neoddělitelně vpletena do celého projektu americké sociologie jako vědy a své „čisté" vyjádření nalezla v úsilí prokázat „objektivitu a koherenci" sociologického myšlení/vědění. Zcela zřetelně také formovala profesní identitu oboru. Prostředkem zajištění vědecké integrity bylo především zajištění kontinuity teorie a praxe, ježby založilo a o něž by se mohlo opírat pevné metodologické „sebevědomí". Historická kontextualizace tohoto formativního období si klade za cíl sledovat, nakolik myšlenka sjednocené sociologie ovlivnila teoretické a metodologické perspektivy v rámci oboru i vlastní představy o možnosti jeho integrované výzkumné agendy.

The Museum of Comparative Zoology at Harvard University (MCZ), founded in 1859, has approximately 20 million extant and fossil invertebrate and vertebrate specimens. These historical collections continue to be a focus of research and teaching for the MCZ, Harvard and outside researchers. The Ernst Mayr Library/Archives (EMLA) of the MCZ is a founding member of the Biodiversity Heritage Library (BHL), an international consortium with a mission to make biodiversity literature openly available for use. Meeting the needs of the MCZ is a priority for EML Museum/library and achives collaboration One collaborative Museum/Library project was the digitization of approximately 81,000 MCZ specimen ledger pages/cards associated with various collections. These historical items, once digitized and deposited in the Harvard Digital Repository Service (DRS), were linked to the relevant specimen records in MCZbase, the museum-wide database. Over 1.2 million specimen records are now linked with digitized sources which benefit all users by adding to the provenance of the specimen data and allowing direct referral to the primary collection source. The EMLA holds an extensive collection of field notes, letters and manuscripts of researchers associated with the MCZ. Collector records are a gold mine of unpublished observations, notes, sketches, specimen lists and narratives. They are primary source data at its most personal, and may be the only documentation of a scientist’s thought processes and observations, particularly for unpublished materials. William Brewster was a prominent late 19th, early 20th century naturalist associated with the MCZ Ornithology Department until his death in 1919. Brewster provided authoritative and novel additions to the knowledge of birds, and his detailed, long-term observations are the key to his published contributions. Brewster’s unpublished scientific legacy is being digitized and deposited in the Harvard DRS and BHL by the EMLA. Transcribed notebook pages will be attached to images in BHL thus improving data discovery. Brewster deposited over 45,000 specimens in the MCZ Ornithology Collection. Combining specimens and unpublished notes is an opportunity to link hidden data and enhance research capabilities. Next steps for this collaborative project include finely grained cross-linking of specific pages, correspondence and photographs to and from the MCZ’s specimen database and BHL. We show how MCZ has leveraged data in digital repositories to enhance and directly relate to MCZbase, with citations to notes, transcriptions and published literature. These collaborations enhance discoverability of hidden data while promoting cross-discipline research to interrelated historical sources.

Studies on vitamin D receptor (VDR) and its association with multiple disorders are expanding. This bibliometric study aims to find and summarize VDR-related publications, and compare them across various countries, organizations, and journals to demonstrate trends in VDR research. VOSviewer and Excel 2019 were used to classify and summarize Web of Science articles from 1900 to mid-2021. Total records of 8762 articles were analyzed, and maps of co-citations bibliometric keywords co-occurrence were designed. In conclusion, relative research interest and published papers related to VDR were growing in the past 30 years. The United States of America dominates the research regarding VDR. The highest quality of VDR research was achieved by the University of California System, University of Wisconsin System, and Harvard University. J Steroid Biochem Mol Biol, PLoS One, and J Biol Chem are the leading three productive journals on VDR. Various aspects of vitamin D deficiency associated disorders and genetic studies regarding VDR, including single nucleotide polymorphism, gene variants, epigenome, long non-coding ribonucleic acid (lncRNA), and small nucleolar RNA host gene 6 are potentially the recent research hotspot in this field. Moreover, coronavirus disease, polycystic ovary syndrome, non-alcoholic fatty liver disease, gut microbiota, gestational diabetes, systemic sclerosis, and chemoresistance are the trending medical conditions associated with VDR.

"Novel Genetic Variants of ALG6 and GALNTL4 of the Glycosylation Pathway Predict Cutaneous Melanoma-Specific Survival". Cancers 12, n. 2 (24 gennaio 2020): 288. http://dx.doi.org/10.3390/cancers12020288.
Testo completoAbstract (sommario):
Because aberrant glycosylation is known to play a role in the progression of melanoma, we hypothesize that genetic variants of glycosylation pathway genes are associated with the survival of cutaneous melanoma (CM) patients. To test this hypothesis, we used a Cox proportional hazards regression model in a single-locus analysis to evaluate associations between 34,096 genetic variants of 227 glycosylation pathway genes and CM disease-specific survival (CMSS) using genotyping data from two previously published genome-wide association studies. The discovery dataset included 858 CM patients with 95 deaths from The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center, and the replication dataset included 409 CM patients with 48 deaths from Harvard University nurse/physician cohorts. In the multivariable Cox regression analysis, we found that two novel single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) (ALG6 rs10889417 G>A and GALNTL4 rs12270446 G>C) predicted CMSS, with an adjusted hazards ratios of 0.60 (95% confidence interval = 0.44–0.83 and p = 0.002) and 0.66 (0.52–0.84 and 0.004), respectively. Subsequent expression quantitative trait loci (eQTL) analysis revealed that ALG6 rs10889417 was associated with mRNA expression levels in the cultured skin fibroblasts and whole blood cells and that GALNTL4 rs12270446 was associated with mRNA expression levels in the skin tissues (all p < 0.05). Our findings suggest that, once validated by other large patient cohorts, these two novel SNPs in the glycosylation pathway genes may be useful prognostic biomarkers for CMSS, likely through modulating their gene expression.

Testo completoAbstract (sommario):
Simon During's book presents a broad overview of European and North American magic and argues that magic influenced the formation of modern culture. During clearly delineates three types of magic: Supernatural Magic, or “real” spiritual magic associated with superstition, religion, and the occult; Natural Magic, which popularized scientific discoveries such as electricity, magnetism, X-rays, and optics; and Secular Magic, based on spectacle, skillful technique, illusion, and special effects. He successfully charts the complex relations among the three types of magic, and explains how they reinforce one another (as is the case with natural and secular magic), or work against one another (as when natural and secular magic gradually delegitimized the influence of supernatural magic in an increasingly secularized, modern culture).

Irisin is a hormone-like molecule mainly released by skeletal muscles in response to exercise, which is proposed to induce the ‘browning’ of white adipose tissue. Since its identification, irisin was reported to be closely associated with many metabolic diseases, including type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM), obesity, cardiovascular disease (CVD), and metabolic bone diseases. In recent years, irisin has attracted increasing research interest, and numerous studies have been published in this field. Thus, it is essential to identify the current research status of irisin and measure research hotspots and possible future trends. In this study, by utilizing two visualization software named CiteSpace and VOSviewer, we analyzed 1510 Web of Science publications on irisin published from 2012 to 2021. Our results show that the number of irisin-related articles published annually has increased significantly. China participates in the most studies, followed by the United States and Turkey. Firat University, Harvard University, and Shandong University are three major institutions with larger numbers of publications. The analysis of keywords co-occurrence indicates that insulin resistance, inflammation, and circulating irisin levels in serum are the research hotspots. Apoptosis, BDNF, and osteoporosis will likely become the focus of future research related to irisin. Overall, this study may provide helpful insights for researchers to understand the current research situation and identify the potential frontiers of irisin.

Patients with microsatellite-instability-high (MSI-H) or mismatched repair-deficient colorectal cancer (CRC) appear to be responsive to checkpoint inhibitors. This study aimed to assess research trends in CRC immunotherapy. Publication patterns of articles covering immunotherapies in CRC in the Web of Science Core Collection database were retrospectively examined using VOS viewer software (version 1.6.16) prior to 25 May 2021. Ultimately, 3977 records were identified that were published between 1975 and 2021, which received a total of 128,681 citations (an average of 32.36 citations per item), with a noticeable rise in 2014. The majority of articles were published in the US (35.8%), China (17.7%), and Germany (9.4%). Publications mainly originated from the Institut National de la Santé Et De La Recherche Medicale Inserm, followed by the University of Texas System and Harvard University; however, Johns Hopkins University received the most citations (18,666 for 69 publications). The Journal of Clinical Oncology issued the most publications (n = 146), while the most referenced item (7724 citations) was published in the New England Journal of Medicine in 2012. The most common keywords were associated with tumors (expression and microsatellite instability) or immune system components (t-cells/dendritic cells). The findings demonstrate the scientific community’s interest in the MSI-H subtype of colorectal tumors and how immunotherapy may be employed more successfully to treat metastatic CRC.

Testo completoAbstract (sommario):
The research domain investigating bacterial factors in the development of oral cancer from January 2013 to December 2022 was examined with a bibliometric analysis. A bibliometric analysis is a mathematical and statistical method used to examine extensive datasets. It assesses the connections between prolific authors, journals, institutions, and countries while also identifying commonly used keywords. A comprehensive search strategy identified 167 relevant articles, revealing a progressive increase in publications and citations over time. China and the United States were the leading countries in research productivity, while Harvard University and the University of Helsinki were prominent affiliations. Prolific authors such as Nezar Al-Hebshi, Tsute Chen, and Yaping Pan were identified. The analysis also highlights the contributions of different journals and identifies the top 10 most cited articles in the field, all of which focus primarily on molecular research. The article of the highest citation explored the role of a Fusobacterium nucleatum surface protein in tumor immune evasion. Other top-cited articles investigated the correlation between the oral bacteriome and cancer using 16S rRNA amplicon sequencing, showing microbial shifts associated with oral cancer development. The functional prediction analysis used by recent studies has further revealed an inflammatory bacteriome associated with carcinogenesis. Furthermore, a keyword analysis reveals four distinct research themes: cancer mechanisms, periodontitis and microbiome, inflammation and Fusobacterium, and risk factors. This analysis provides an objective assessment of the research landscape, offers valuable information, and serves as a resource for researchers to advance knowledge and collaboration in the search for the influence of bacteria on the prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of oral cancer.

Prostate cancer persists as a major public health issue in the United States and remains the second leading cause of cancer death in men. Early detection and disease monitoring in prostate cancer can significantly improve a patient's prognosis. The advent of prostate-specific antigen (PSA) screening has allowed physicians to monitor the levels of a specific protein, or biomarker, as a correlate of disease progression. This thesis focuses on optical detection of prostate tumors through the development of biomarker-targeted molecular imaging probes. In the first part of this work, engineered human prostate cancer cell lines were developed and characterized to determine the dynamics of post-translational processing for PSA proteolytic activity and to establish potential small animal models for validating protease-activatable imaging probes. Target-activatable gold nanoparticle imaging probes that can be self-assembled in a one-step reaction were then developed to detect biomarker proteases in vivo. The activated probes demonstrated a 5 to 8-fold fluorescence signal amplification, extended circulation time, and high image contrast in a mouse tumor model. Lastly, differential phage display selection was performed on human prostate cancer cells with low and high metastatic potentials to (1) identify cell-surface biomarkers specific to highly aggressive tumors, and (2) develop molecular imaging probes for detecting prostate cancer metastases.
(cont.) One peptide, LN4P-1, demonstrated preferential binding to highly metastatic PC3M-LN4 cells and identified a highly expressed protein on their cell surface. Fluorescently labeled LN4P-1 was able to detect PC3MLN4 tumors in vivo. In summary, this thesis outlines the development of molecular imaging probes for targeting tumors both at the primary site, through evaluation of biomarker protease activity, and at the metastatic site, through affinity-based analysis of biomarker expression.

Our lab's long-term goal is to elucidate the circuitry of the visual cortex, to develop quantitative computational models of neuronal function in the visual cortex, and to establish how these models may relate to visual perception and visually guided behavior. Central to this goal is the analysis of functional architecture, which is crucial to an understanding of how the brain works. In my thesis research, I applied behavioral and microstimulation techniques to demonstrate the causal connections between neural activity and behavior. Understanding these relationships is one of the fundamental issues needed to be addressed in Neurobiology. Specifically, I focused on the functional analysis of the middle temporal visual area (MT) and the behavior associated with it. MT is an extrastriate area that is primarily involved in visual motion processing. A very important function within MT is a segregation of center-surround interactions which plays a critical role in processing visual motion cues. There are two types of motion center-surround interactions in MT neurons: surrounds may reinforce (at wide-field sites) or suppress (at local-motion sites) the centers' directional responses. They are important in representing the initial stages of a functional segregation between wide-field and local-contrast motion processing. To further study the computational model used by the brain to readout sensory information, I conducted microstimulation experiments in MT by changing stimulation amplitudes (from 10/LA to 160tA) and frequencies (from 25Hz to 500Hz). Microstimulation can introduce an additional velocity signal into MT and the pursuit and saccadic systems usually compute a vector average of the visually evoked and microstimulation-induced velocity signals.
(cont.) Increasing either amplitude or frequency generally increases the relative weight of the electrical velocity signal,' with the effects of amplitude being slightly more prominent. In addition, applying higher current fre-quencies appears to preserve the directionality of microstimulation better than does applying higher current amplitudes. With increasing frequencies, the magnitude of the electrical velocity signal either increased or remained constant, while its direction remained consistent. In contrast, increasing current amplitude tended to decrease the magnitude of the signal and increased its variability in direction. This finding is consistent with the idea that large current amplitudes, which presumably activate many MT columns signaling different directions, introduce noise into the behavior. My preliminary results have demonstrated that microstimulation in MT can also introduce an additional positional signal into the saccade system and that this electrical signal is combined with the visually evoked signal through a vector summation mechanism. The direction of this electrical signal is highly correlated with the position of the receptive field relative to the fixation point. To test the notion that the center-surround properties of MT neurons may be important for signaling the relative motion between object and background, we conducted behavioral experiments by using real background motion to simulate the microstimulation experiments at wide-field sites ...

Testo completoAbstract (sommario):
In her course on religious diversity in the United States, Dr. Diana Eck of Harvard University introduces students to a range of religious traditions, especially those associated with more recent waves of immigration. Using case studies as the organizational pedagogy, Eck urges students to consider a particular response to increased religious diversity, namely pluralism as a civic value. We explore whether Eck’s use of the case study method provides mechanisms by which the “encounter of commitments” (a key concept in Eck’s definition of pluralism) could occur among students and thereby promote a pluralistic disposition. Although we found evidence of such encounters, their pedagogical impact may have been undermined by the lack of a precise understanding of civic pluralism and a reluctance among some students to share their views.

Testo completoAbstract (sommario):
The world is in the throes of a global health, economic, and mental health crisis with severe physical, societal, and economic ramifications. Modern mental health problems are characterized by their complexity, multisystemic nature, and broad societal impact, making them poorly suited to siloed approaches of thinking and innovation. To solve the unprecedented complexities and challenges associated with the current global crisis, a paradigm shift is needed. Convergence science integrates knowledge, tools, and thought strategies from various fields and is the focal point where novel insights arise. In the context of mental health, convergence involves integration of scientists, clinicians, bioinformaticists, global health experts, engineers, technology entrepreneurs, medical educators, caregivers, and patients; synergy between government, academia, and industry is also vital. A convergence mental health approach will lead to improved outcomes for patients and healthcare systems. Predicate examples of convergence science in adjacent fields to mental health provide a model for the path forward. Further, within the field of mental health, there are examples of convergence science currently in action that include early-stage companies, neuroscience initiatives, public health projects, and unconventional funding mechanisms. The world has a historic opportunity to leverage convergence science to lead to a new era of innovation and progress in global mental health. Contributions for this book come from authors affiliated with the Milken Institute, Asia Pacific Economic Cooperation, Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development, the National Academies of Science, Medicine and Engineering, Stanford University, and Harvard University. This book is written for practitioners and leaders in mental health innovation, including clinicians, researchers, policymakers, investors, entrepreneurs, and philanthropists.

Testo completoAbstract (sommario):
Harvard and M.I.T. were ideally positioned to exploit the advantageous possibilities for development that arose after World War II. Both did so, pursuing routes that reflected their different histories, stages of development, organizational characteristics, and current priorities. Both became, in the process, contrasting versions of a modern research university, together helping to define a new institutional model for the nation’s academic community. For most universities, World War II continued the difficult circumstances of the Depression, but the wartime role of academics also fostered hopes for recognition and growth in the postwar years. This optimism prompted organized planning for institutional development well before the end of the war. As Conant put it in 1943: “The period immediately following the cessation of hostilities ... will be a time when [Harvard’s] educational house can be put in order, when changes perhaps long overdue can be made most readily.” The leaders of M.I.T. anticipated even more dramatic gains. Referring in 1944 to the Institute’s contributions to the war effort, Compton observed that “the value, effectiveness and prestige of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology have never been at so high a level; this is certainly a strategic vantage point from which to initiate the next advance.” The prewar years at Harvard had left little doubt about the “changes ... long overdue” on which Conant would focus. From the beginning of his presidency, he had insisted that Harvard’s goal should not be expansion but “intensification”: the raising of intellectual standards within established programs and the reducing of concern with the social, localistic values associated with Harvard’s Brahmin traditions. The two major expressions of these policies prior to 1940 had been the efforts to tighten scholarly standards for promotion in the Faculty of Arts and Sciences and to attract more able undergraduates by recruiting in public and non-northeastern secondary schools. As Conant anticipated the postwar years, especially in the context of the veterans’ program, he was aware that the new popularity of higher education might support a level of growth that had not been possible during the Depression, but he continued to oppose expansion. If demand for admission increased, Conant argued in the mid-1940S, Harvard should raise standards, not increase in size.

Abstract What follows is the syllabus for a thematic—or comparative—lecture course, “World Religions and Healing,” which I first taught in 1997 at Harvard University. Since then, I have revised it and offered it through the Religion Department at Boston University, where I serve on the faculty of the School of Medicine. I suggest that composing this kind of course challenges one to think through how, on the one hand, to say enough about the changing constellation of practices associated with a given tradition that students can begin to grasp that tradition’s complexity and internal pluralism. On the other hand, one faces the related challenge of illustrating the dynamics of cross-fertilization and ensuing hybridity (see the discussion in the introduction).

Many governments are actively seeking solutions to address the economic crises bedeviling their countries. University/college towns have proven to be successful models of opportunities for attracting investments for economic development while at the same time promoting optimal health outcomes. Harvard, MIT and Newcastle universities provide examples of successful models of universities aiding in spatial design and planning of towns or neighborhoods where they are located to yield sustainable development. The Government of Jamaica has supported the proposal from the University of Technology, Jamaica, (UTech, Jamaica Ja.) to redesign the Papine area in St. Andrew into a university town, given its proximity to the two largest universities in Jamaica, UTech, Ja. and the University of the West Indies (UWI). Both institutions collaborated by using cutting-edge scholarly research and design approaches to propose workable solutions that can promote economic development and healthy lifestyle in an area designated as a university town. The research found that SOPARC was a feasible and reliable instrument for assessing park user variables and associated contextual variables. However, for the proposed design to be executed and maintained, the study recommends establishing a body such as a University District/Town Council with oversight responsibility for planning and land use management of the area.

A 1964 study reported that 20% of patients admitted to the medical wards of a teaching hospital over an 8-month period experienced one or more untoward episodes.1 A 1981 report in the New England Journal of Medicine reported a 36% rate of iatrogenic injury (defined as “any illness that resulted from a diagnostic procedure or from any form of therapy” as well as “harmful occurrences ... that were not natural consequences of the patient’s diseases”) among 815 consecutive patients on a general medical service of a university hospital; of these, 9% were reported to have suffered “major complications.”.A Department of Health, Education and Welfare (DHEW) study based on records from two hospitals placed the incidence of iatrogenic injury at 7.5%.3 Two large-scale independent studies of hospital records-one undertaken in California in the mid-1970s4 and the recent Harvard Medical Practice Study of New York hospitals5-yielded similar findings, indicating that approximately 4% of all hospitalizations result in adverse events from medical treatment and one-quarter of these incidents involve substandard care.6 In other words, negligent adverse events were found to occur in 1% of all discharges.7 As a result, the Harvard study concluded that in New York State in 1984 nearly 99,000 patients suffered disabling injuries, of which more than 13,000 resulted in death.8 Extrapolated to the U.S. population as a whole, this suggests that of 40 million patients hospitalized every year, 1.5 million suffer some kind of disabling injury, that 180,000 of these patients die as a result of medical treatment, and that over half of these deaths are due to negligence.9 The number of deaths from medical injury thus appears to exceed mortalities associated with both motor vehicle accidents (about 40,000 per year) and workplace accidents (6,000 per year)..
