Zygotic activin A is dispensable for the mouse preimplantation embryo development and for the derivation and pluripotency of embryonic stem cells
No full textThis dataset consists:File 1 - with results of the level of activin A protein from the culture medium of InhbaKO/KO and wild-type mouse embryonic fibroblasts.Files 2A, B, C, D - Four .xlsx files with data of morphokinetic parameters from time-lapse imaging of activin A knockout (InhbaKO/KO), heterozygotes (InhbaKO/WT), and wild-type (InhbaWT/WT) embryos:File 2A - in C57BL/6/Tar x CBA/Tar mixed genetic background that reached the blastocyst stage;File 2B - in C57BL/6/Tar x CBA/Tar mixed genetic background that were arrested in development;File 2C - in an inbred C57BL/6 genetic background that reached the blastocyst stage;File 2D - in an inbred C57BL/6 genetic background that were arrested in development.Files 3A, B, C- Three .xlsx files with the number and percentage of cell lineages of InhbaKO/KO, InhbaKO/WT and InhbaWT/WT:File 3A - 120 hours blastocysts in C57BL/6/Tar x CBA/Tar mixed genetic background;File 3B - 135 hours blastocysts in C57BL/6/Tar x CBA/Tar mixed genetic background;File 3C - in an inbred C57BL/6 genetic background.Files 4A, B - Two .xlsx file with InhbaKO/KO, InhbaKO/WT and InhbaWT/WT blastocyst outgrowths data:File 4A - blastocyst outgrowths area (cultured with or without activin A).File 4B - blastocyst that did not form outgrowths (culture without activin A)File 5 - with the results of RT-qPCR analysis of mesoderm, endoderm, and ectoderm markers in InhbaKO/KO, InhbaKO/WT and InhbaWT/WT embryoid bodies.Briefly about the project and data acquisition methods:In our project, we aimed to determine the role of activin A during crucial events of mouse embryogenesis and distinguish the function of the protein of zygotic origin and the one secreted by the maternal reproductive tract. To this end, we obtained a mouse line with a knockout of the zygotic activin A gene (Inhba-KO). The lack of activin A protein in knockout (InhbaKO/KO) mouse was endorsed in the enzyme linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) from the culture medium of mouse embryonic fibroblasts (MEFs) derived from InhbaKO/KO and wild-type (InhbaWT/WT) fetuses (File 1).To compare the phenotype of InhbaKO/KO embryos with stage matched InhbaKO/WT and InhbaWT/WT embryos, we analyzed the morphokinetic parameters by recording the progress of their development from the zygote to the blastocyst stage using time-lapse microscopy. The same analysis was performed on embryos in two genetic backgrounds (C57BL/6/Tar x CBA/Tar mixed background and on an inbred C57BL/6 genetic background). Morphokinetic data for embryos that reached the blastocyst stage and those arrested in development are summarized in separate files (respectively File 2A and 2B for C57BL/6/Tar x CBA/Tar, and File 2C and 2D for C57BL/6 embryos).In order to determine the effect of depletion of zygotic activin A expression on cell lineage specification, we detected the presence of Nanog/SOX2, SOX17/GATA4, and CDX2, markers of epiblast (EPI), primitive endoderm (PE), and trophectoderm (TE), respectively. Then, using Imaris software, we counted the number and percentage of cells contributing to the cell lineages (EPI, PE, and TE) of InhbaKO/KO, InhbaKO/WT and InhbaWT/WT blastocysts in two genetic backgrounds (C57BL/6/Tar x CBA/Tar and on an inbred C57BL/6) and time points (120 h and 135 h after hCG injection)(Files 3A,B,C).Furthermore, we used the outgrowth assay to assess the implantation competence of activin A–deficient embryos (File 4A and B). Therefore, C57BL/6/Tar x CBA/Tar blastocysts were cultured individually in ESC medium without LIF on gelatin-coated plates. We also attempted to rescue the InhbaKO/KO outgrowths phenotype by supplementing the culture medium with recombinant activin A. The rate of trophoblast cell migration was determined by measuring the mean area of outgrowing embryos (the only ICM outgrowth and total area including trophoblast giant cells) using an image analysis system. Once the perimeter of the trophoblast or ICM cells was respectively selected using a computer mouse, the total outgrowth area and ICM area were calculated in px2 using ImageJ software, and converted into square micrometers using the conversion factor px2 = 0.255 μm2, determined using a calibration slide (File 4A).Next, we compared the ability of InhbaKO/KO and control (heterozygous and wild-type) ESCs to differentiate into tissues originating from three germ layers: ectoderm, mesoderm, and endoderm. To this end, we tested whether they could differentiate in vitro in embryoid bodies (EBs). We used RT-qPCR analyses to study the relative mRNA level of the mesodermal markers: Mesogenin 1 (Msgn1), Mesoderm posterior BHLH transcription factor 2 (Mesp2), Nodal, Eomesodermin (Eomes), Mix Paired-like Homeobox (Mixl1), the ectodermal markers: Zic Family Member 1 (Zic1), Paired Box 1 (Pax1), and Paired Box 6 (Pax6), and the endodermal marker Forkhead Box A2 (Foxa2)(File 5).</p

It is named after the lineage of Bönpo priests in whose house it is kept. The collection, consisting of 340 different items with a total of 3,477 folios, cards, or individual sheets of paper, represents the ritual repertoire of the priests of the kings of Mustang, once a Tibetan kingdom and now a district of Nepal. The manuscripts exemplify the variety of forms, scripts, decorations, materials and other codicological features. The texts have not been used since the priestly line ended in the 1950s or 60s. The value of this collection is twofold: first, the collection was assembled from different parts of Tibet and the Himalaya over six centuries, and offers a rich body of material which can be retrieved by material and codicological analyses that will contribute to our understanding of book and paper making traditions in the region, as well as social aspects of Tibetan manuscript production; and secondly, in terms of its content, it offers a window onto the nature of royal religion in a Tibetan kingdom. These manuscripts were used in rituals for the protection and prosperity of the kingdom of Mustang, its subjects and members of royal lineage; knowledge of the materials and ritual practices involved in the creation of physical objects will help to understand the interaction between religion, patronage and political authority in Tibetan society.DATASET FILESThe dataset contains files:• Drangsong_210.zip (master scans of the manuscript pages with color checker),• Drangsong_210.pdf (containing presentation images of the manuscript pages),• Drangsong_210_001v.png (manuscript page sample),• Drangsong_210_backlites.zip (backlit samples),• Drangsong_210_macros.zip (in close-up samples),• Drangsong_210_XRF_analysis.png (X-ray fluorescence spectrometry).DESCRIPTION OF THE MANUSCRIPTDetailed information on writing, materials, format, and layout is provided in a Readme.txt file attached to this dataset.</p

Communication strategies in letters to shareholders
No full textLetters to shareholders are an important element of annual reports characterized by a lack of legal formalism. As a result, companies often use these documents as a channel for relatively free communication with investors. Letters often serve to create the company's image, interpreting the reality captured in the hard data presented in financial statements. The purpose of this study is to analyze the impact of a company's financial performance on communication strategies in letters to shareholders. The study includes an analysis of letters from British, American and Polish companies - in the case of the latter, two language versions: Polish and English.The dataset includes:a genre-based comparable-parallel corpus, which includes a parallel sub-corpus of letters to shareholders of ten Polish companies and two comparable sub-corpora containing letters to shareholders of ten UK and ten US companies. The companies were selected randomly from the list of enterprises included in the major indices of the respective markets: WIG30 in Poland, FTSE100 (Financial Times Stock Exchange 100 Index) in the UK and the Dow Jones Composite Average (covering 65 constituents) in the US. The letters were drafted from 2013 to 2022, i.e. for every company ten letters were collected. Companies which have been operating for less than ten years were excluded from the study. The Polish subcorpus includes letters that were drafted in Polish and translated into English – letters that did not have the English translation of their letter or have drafted their letter in English were excluded from the study;a folder containing spreadsheets with: 1) the list of the companies with basic identifying information; 2) financial data used in the study; 3a) number of tokens per text in the corpora; 3b) number of words and tokens in the corpora used in the study; 4) raw frequencies of expressions analysed; 5) normalised frequencies of expressions analysed; 6) results of the correlation between financial indicators and linguistic data.</ul
