    Nature’s blueprint for sugar metabolism: translating bee and ant strategies into human diabetes therapies

    No full text
    Despite advances in pharmacological treatments, diabetes mellitus remains a significant global health challenge, characterized by chronic hyperglycemia and associated metabolic dysfunctions. Effective and sustainable glycemic control remains elusive, prompting exploration into unconventional sources of metabolic insights. Social insects, in particular bees and ants, exhibit remarkable physiological adaptations enabling them to thrive on carbohydrate-rich diets without developing metabolic disorders typical in humans. This review investigates the bees and ants metabolic strategies to avoid metabolic disorders like diabetes, focusing on their enzymatic pathways such as trehalose metabolism, specialized hormonal regulation involving insulin-like peptides, adipokinetic hormones, and genetic and epigenetic mechanisms underpinning their metabolic resilience. By systematically comparing these insect adaptations with human metabolic systems, the proposed study identifies potential translational applications, including engineered probiotics, gene-editing approaches, and bioactive compounds for diabetes management. Furthermore, it explores technical, ethical, and ecological considerations for translating insect-derived metabolic mechanisms into human therapies. Highlighting both opportunities and challenges, this review emphasizes the need for interdisciplinary research to responsibly integrate nature-inspired solutions into modern diabetes care

    Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis

    The 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

    Variations on the Author

    “Variations on the Author” discusses two of Eduardo Coutinho’s recent films (Um Dia na Vida, from 2010, and Últimas Conversas, posthumously released in 2015) and their contribution to the general question of documentary authorship. The director’s filmography is characterized by a consistent yet self-effacing form of authorial self-inscription: Coutinho often features as an interviewer that rather than express opinions propels discourses; an interviewer that is good at listening. This mode of self-inscription characterizes him as an author who is not expressive but who is nonetheless markedly present on the screen. In Um Dia na Vida, however, Coutinho is completely absent form the image, while Últimas Conversas, on the contrary, includes a confessional prologue that moves the director from the margins to the center of his films. This article examines the ways in which these works stand out in the filmography of a director who offers new insights into the notion of cinematic authorship

    Appropriate Similarity Measures for Author Cocitation Analysis

    Full text link
    We provide a number of new insights into the methodological discussion about author cocitation analysis. We first argue that the use of the Pearson correlation for measuring the similarity between authors’ cocitation profiles is not very satisfactory. We then discuss what kind of similarity measures may be used as an alternative to the Pearson correlation. We consider three similarity measures in particular. One is the well-known cosine. The other two similarity measures have not been used before in the bibliometric literature. Finally, we show by means of an example that our findings have a high practical relevance.information science;Pearson correlation;cosine;similarity measure;author cocitation analysis

    Dispelling the Myths Behind First-author Citation Counts

    Full text link
    We conducted a full-scale evaluative citation analysis study of scholars in the XML research field to explore just how different from each other author rankings resulting from different citation counting methods actually are, and to demonstrate the capability of emerging data and tools on the Web in supporting more realistic citation counting methods. Our results contest some common arguments for the continued use of first-author citation counts in the evaluation of scholars, such as high correlations between author rankings by first-author citation counts and other citation counting methods, and high costs of using more realistic citation counting methods that are not well-supported by the ISI databases. It is argued that increasingly available digital full text research papers make it possible for citation analysis studies to go beyond what the ISI databases have directly supported and to employ more sophisticated methods
