Analysis of the BadR regulon in Borrelia burgdorferi
No full textAbstract Background Borrelia burgdorferi, the causative agent of Lyme disease, relies on tightly coordinated gene expression to quickly adapt and survive in the tick vector and mammalian host. BadR, an ROK (repressor, open reading frame, kinase) family transcriptional regulator, binds directly to B. burgdorferi promoter DNA, however, many questions concerning the role for BadR in gene regulation remain unanswered. In particular, there are conflicting reports concerning what genes are regulated by BadR in B. burgdorferi. Furthermore, previous studies have suggested important roles for BadR in unfed ticks, but the BadR regulon has not been defined under such conditions. Additionally, although BadR regulates rpoS expression in a growth phase-dependent manner, it remains unknown whether BadR regulates other genes during different growth phases. Results To address these questions, we cultivated a B. burgdorferi badR mutant and wild-type strain under various conditions and analyzed the transcriptome using RNA-sequencing. When spirochetes were grown at 37 °C and collected at the mid-logarithmic and stationary phase of growth, 211 and 272 genes were differentially expressed in the badR mutant, respectively. A total of 79 genes were differentially expressed when spirochetes were grown at 23 °C. A vast majority of genes identified in this study encode proteins of unknown function. Conclusions Complex transcriptional regulation mechanisms coordinate the expression of genes required for the survival of B. burgdorferi throughout its tick-mammal enzootic lifecycle. As part of this process, BadR functions as a global regulatory protein and regulates B. burgdorferi virulence gene expression. Combined, this work supports a role for BadR in global B. burgdorferi gene regulation by modulating expression of different sets of genes at different stages of the enzootic lifecycle. We anticipate that investigating the function of genes in the BadR regulon will lead to the identification of novel virulence factors for therapeutic and vaccine development

The Social Context and Textual/Musical Characteristics of the Besta Genre of Southern Iraq
No full textDespite the extensive research by ethnomusicologists on a number of musical cultures, little attention has been given to Iraqi music. The term besta (literally, happiness) is used by Iraqis to signify the genre, which in formal Arabic is called ʾughniyeh. This thesis examines the besta genre in the community of the villages in Dhi-QAr province in southern Iraq. The aims of the study are: to place the songs of the area in their cultural context, classify the repertoire into different categories, develop an analytical methodology, analyse (recorded) examples of the besta song and archive the songs as rare examples f a somewhat endangered Iraqi genre.
Two approaches were followed in order to achieve these objectives: an ethnographic approach, to study the local community and explore the social context of singing, and an analytical approach, to explore the musical characteristics of the besta songs. The analysis involves study of the songs’ texts and their melodic features.
The results show that traditions are stronger than religious values in what is a completely male-dominated society, one in which women have little cultural role to play. Results of the analysis of the text identified poetic elements of the text such as the darmi as the dominant poetic metre, with parting as the main theme, and anguish and sadness as the central emotions of the texts. The results of the melodic analyses show that the intervallic structure of the songs’ melodies relies on a number of Iraqi and Arabic tetrachords, and that the Beyat tetrachord in particular is the most common among the songs. A number of structural characteristics of the melodies have been identified. Beside other patterns, the Maqsum is the most common accompaniment in the songs. It is hoped that the ethnographic and analytical approach developed in this study will lay the foundations for future studies of Iraqi and Arabic music

Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
No full textThe present study examines one of the fundamental aspects of author co-citation analysis (ACA) - the way co-citation
counts are defined. Co-citation counting provides the data on which all subsequent statistical analyses and mappings
are based, and we compare ACA results based on two different types of co-citation counting - the traditional type that
only counts the first one among a cited work's authors on the one hand and a non-traditional type that takes into
account the first 5 authors of a cited work on the other hand. Results indicate that the picture produced through this non-traditional author co-citation counting contains more coherent author groups and is therefore considerably clearer. However, this picture represents fewer specialties in the research field being studied than that produced through the traditional first-author co-citation counting when the same number of top-ranked authors is selected and analyzed. Reasons for these effects are discussed
