Sosa, general assumptions, and the skeptical trojan horse by Modesto Gómez-Alonso

“…However, the ‘blanketing’ nature of a priori arguments to the end of supporting the rationality of general assumptions might be seen as the Trojan horse through which radical scepticism threatens the common sense picture of the world. …”

The Potential Role of Probiotics in the Management of Childhood Autism Spectrum Disorders by J. William Critchfield, Saskia van Hemert, Michael Ash, Linda Mulder, Paul Ashwood

“…Probiotics can influence microbiota composition and intestinal barrier function and alter mucosal immune responses. The administration of probiotic bacteria to address changes in the microbiota might, therefore, be a useful novel therapeutic tool with which to restore normal gut microbiota, reduce inflammation, restore epithelial barrier function, and potentially ameliorate behavioural symptoms associated with some children with ASD. …”

The microcephaly gene Donson is essential for progenitors of cortical glutamatergic and GABAergic neurons. by Sathish Venkataramanappa, Dagmar Schütz, Friederike Saaber, Praveen Ashok Kumar, Philipp Abe, Stefan Schulz, Ralf Stumm

“…Thus, the early telencephalic neuroepithelium depends critically on Donson function. Our findings help explain why the neocortex is most severely affected in individuals with DONSON mutations and suggest that DONSON-dependent microcephaly might be associated with so far unrecognized defects in cortical GABAergic neurons. …”

Bag-of-words is competitive with sum-of-embeddings language-inspired representations on protein inference. by Frixos Papadopoulos, Tilman Sanchez-Elsner, Mahesan Niranjan, Ashley I Heinson

“…By feature selection we show that the top discriminant features help bag-of-words capture important information for data-driven function prediction. These findings could have important implications for self-supervised learning models on protein sequences, and might encourage the consideration of alternative pre-training schemes for learning representations that capture more meaningful biological information from the sequence alone.…”

Socio‑Economic Determinants of Construction Sector Development by Florian Gerth, Martin O’Brien, Karol S. Sikora

“…Future research should focus on i) potential endogeneity issues. This might emerge because activity might be conditional on the state of construction which, on the other hand, drives overall activity. ii) disentangling the effects of developments within domestic financial markets and their role in efficiently allocating financial capital to the real economy. …”

Fluoxetine Attenuated Anxiety-Like Behaviors in Streptozotocin-Induced Diabetic Mice by Mitigating the Inflammation by Peng Yuan, Jian Zhang, Liang Li, Zhendi Song

“…Meanwhile, fluoxetine inhibited astrocyte activation in mice exposed to STZ, prevented the loss of myelin basic protein (MBP), and affected the function of OPCs in these diabetic mice. The results suggested that the changes of these glial cells in the brains of diabetic mice might be related to the high anxiety levels and cognitive deficit in DM mice. …”
