Understanding the distribution and habitat requirements of species is crucial for designing conservation actions, yet this information is not available for many plant species. We report the first confirmed wild populations of Porroglossum parsonsii, which, because of its horticultural value, is commercialized in national and international markets, from where it was first described to science. Our large-scale survey of 341 10 × 30 m plots spanning Andean forests, paramo habitats and pasturelands in Colombia suggests that P. parsonsii has a restricted geographical distribution in Andean forests with high forest cover (71.4–86.2%), where it occurs in low numbers (5–17 individuals per plot). Because of its market value (USD 18–20 per plant) there is a risk the species could be collected illegally, and therefore the habitat of the species in the Santuario de Fauna y Flora de Iguaque requires appropriate conservation.

Objective:
To describe the clinical impact of healthcare-associated (HA) respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) in hospitalized adults.
Design:Retrospective cohort study within a prospective, population-based, surveillance study of RSV-infected hospitalized adults during 3 respiratory seasons: October 2017–April 2018, October 2018–April 2019, and October 2019–March 2020.
Setting:The study was conducted in 2 academically affiliated medical centers.
Patients:Each HA-RSV patient (in whom RSV was detected by PCR test ≥4 days after hospital admission) was matched (age, sex, season) with 2 community-onset (CO) RSV patients (in whom RSV was detected ≤3 days of admission).
Methods:Risk factors and outcomes were compared among HA-RSV versus CO-RSV patients using conditional logistic regression. Escalation of respiratory support associated with RSV detection (day 0) from day −2 to day +4 was explored among HA-RSV patients.
Results:In total, 84 HA-RSV patients were matched to 160 CO-RSV patients. In HA-RSV patients, chronic kidney disease was more common, while chronic respiratory conditions and obesity were less common. HA-RSV patients were not more likely to be admitted to an ICU or require mechanical ventilation, but they more often required a higher level of care at discharge compared with CO-RSV patients (44% vs 14%, respectively). Also, 29% of evaluable HA-RSV patients required respiratory support escalation; these patients were older and more likely to have respiratory comorbidities, to have been admitted to intensive care, and to die during hospitalization.
Conclusions:HA-RSV in adults may be associated with escalation in respiratory support and an increased level of support in living situation at discharge. Infection prevention and control strategies and RSV vaccination of high-risk adults could mitigate the risk of HA-RSV.

The Roca San Miguel (RSM) archaeological site was occupied during Mousterian times. Here we present a geoarchaeological and paleoenvironmental reconstruction of the site. Five stratigraphic units (A to E) formed by different archaeological levels are identified. Three optically stimulated luminescence (OSL) ages show that Unit A dates to between 169.6 ± 9.1 and 151.9 ± 11.1 ka, during the penultimate glacial period (PGP), and contains numerous signs of recurring hearths. Unit B is unexcavated. Unit C dates to between 118.9 ± 11.5 and 103.4 ± 6.9 ka (late Eemian–marine isotope stage (MIS) 5d) and shows an abundance of lithic remains as well as some faunal elements. Unit C is covered by Unit D, which incorporates materials moved downslope, and is dated at 81.2 ± 4.7 ka. These OSL ages concur with U/Th ages (129.3 ± 1.5 and 123.6 ± 0.6 ka) derived from a flowstone covered by both -C and D- post-flowstone units. Finally, Unit E covers the archaeological site, which was partially eroded during MIS2. The robust and well-constrained chronology of the RSM site and surroundings enables the establishment of its evolutionary model from the PGP to the last glacial cycle. The RSM site is the oldest Neanderthal occupation accurately dated in the Pre-Pyrenean region.

Scanning transmission electron microscopy (STEM) allows for imaging, diffraction, and spectroscopy of materials on length scales ranging from microns to atoms. By using a high-speed, direct electron detector, it is now possible to record a full two-dimensional (2D) image of the diffracted electron beam at each probe position, typically a 2D grid of probe positions. These 4D-STEM datasets are rich in information, including signatures of the local structure, orientation, deformation, electromagnetic fields, and other sample-dependent properties. However, extracting this information requires complex analysis pipelines that include data wrangling, calibration, analysis, and visualization, all while maintaining robustness against imaging distortions and artifacts. In this paper, we present py4DSTEM, an analysis toolkit for measuring material properties from 4D-STEM datasets, written in the Python language and released with an open-source license. We describe the algorithmic steps for dataset calibration and various 4D-STEM property measurements in detail and present results from several experimental datasets. We also implement a simple and universal file format appropriate for electron microscopy data in py4DSTEM, which uses the open-source HDF5 standard. We hope this tool will benefit the research community and help improve the standards for data and computational methods in electron microscopy, and we invite the community to contribute to this ongoing project.

Background
Previous studies using resting-state functional neuroimaging have revealed alterations in whole-brain images, connectome-wide functional connectivity and graph-based metrics in groups of patients with schizophrenia relative to groups of healthy controls. However, it is unclear which of these measures best captures the neural correlates of this disorder at the level of the individual patient.
MethodsHere we investigated the relative diagnostic value of these measures. A total of 295 patients with schizophrenia and 452 healthy controls were investigated using resting-state functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging at five research centres. Connectome-wide functional networks were constructed by thresholding correlation matrices of 90 brain regions, and their topological properties were analyzed using graph theory-based methods. Single-subject classification was performed using three machine learning (ML) approaches associated with varying degrees of complexity and abstraction, namely logistic regression, support vector machine and deep learning technology.
ResultsConnectome-wide functional connectivity allowed single-subject classification of patients and controls with higher accuracy (average: 81%) than both whole-brain images (average: 53%) and graph-based metrics (average: 69%). Classification based on connectome-wide functional connectivity was driven by a distributed bilateral network including the thalamus and temporal regions.
ConclusionThese results were replicated across the three employed ML approaches. Connectome-wide functional connectivity permits differentiation of patients with schizophrenia from healthy controls at single-subject level with greater accuracy; this pattern of results is consistent with the ‘dysconnectivity hypothesis’ of schizophrenia, which states that the neural basis of the disorder is best understood in terms of system-level functional connectivity alterations.

Bankruptcy is a precise legal process defining, ex ante, the rules for allocation of assets when debtors fail to repay their legally constituted debts. Ultimately, these rules determine willingness to lend and to borrow, and thus economic growth. In 1706, Parliament in England passed a bankruptcy statute that allowed, for the first time, bankrupts to exit the state of bankruptcy prior to full repayment of all debts. This represented a fundamental change in English bankruptcy rules: creditors could now choose to discharge a bankrupt. Obviously, bankrupts benefitted from such a discharge, but creditors could also benefit from greater asset revelation. We document that discharge was quickly adopted, and estimate that many bankrupts received a second chance in business.

The perception that inflation targeting (IT) runs a high risk of indeterminacy when a significant share of households are too poor to save is an artifact of the closed economy. In the open economy, the Taylor principle is generally valid for both contemporaneous and forward-looking IT. Active policy in contemporaneous IT guarantees determinacy, eccentric cases aside. In forward-looking IT, the scope for active policy is constrained by an upper bound on the Taylor coefficient. The upper bound is insensitive, however, to the share of poor, nonsaving households. Moreover, it can be increased substantially–to a level that does not bind–through reserve sales/purchases that limit exchange rate volatility.

Objective
Congenital heart diseases are common in foetuses, with an incidence greater than six times that of chromosomal abnormalities; however, experts in cardiac anatomy have evaluated only the foetuses of pregnant women with increased risk for congenital heart disease. Over the years, it has become clear that congenital heart disease occur in foetuses of low-risk women. In the mid-1980s, a proposal to expand the assessment of cardiac anatomy was presented to obstetricians in order to improve prenatal screening. With the aim to systematise and improve the diagnosis of congenital heart disease in foetuses, the International Society of Ultrasound in Obstetrics and Gynecology established an ultrasound heart examination guideline. In this review, we have described the important features of this guideline and discussed the applications of this tool in clinical practice.
MethodsWe performed a literature search of the National Library of Medicine for publications released between 2000 and 2012; we used search terms pertinent to congenital heart disease, such as foetal echocardiography, foetal heart and cardiac screening examination.
ResultsThe guidelines serve as a standard and help to systematise the screening for congenital heart diseases, but we think that some topics may be added to design the most appropriate screening method. However, we cannot expand the topics to be evaluated in this examination without good training of sonographers who undergo this screening.
ConclusionAlthough the screening standardisation is a good tool to be used in day-to-day practice, the increment of aortic and ductal archs and colour Doppler to heart screening could be useful to detect further cardiac defects.

Division V, “Variable Stars”, consists of Commission 27, also called “Variable Stars” and Commission 42, “Close Binaries”. Thus the former deals with stars whose variations are intrinsic, whereas in the latter the variations are caused by the interactions between the components in the binary. It is evident that the definition of the Division is predominantly observational, and there may be cases where the assignment of an object to one of the two commissions might be in doubt (a recent somewhat related example was the first detection of an extra-solar planet, in 54 Pegasi, where intrinsic variability of the star in the form of high-order g modes was also initially suspected).

Summary
Introduction
Arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) (Zygomycetes) are an ancient group, dating back to the invasion of land surfaces by plants. Currently, they are perhaps the most abundant soil fungi, and they form intimate relationships with the roots of the vast majority of terrestrial plant species across the planet. These fungal symbionts generally play a mutualistic role, aiding the host plant primarily by enhancing the acquisition of soil nutrients, particularly phosphorus (P). In addition, AMF species often affect plant hormone production/induction (Allen et al. 1980), resistance to root pathogens (Newsham et al. 1995); water uptake (Kyllo et al. 2003) and soil structure (Andrade et al. 1998; Rillig & Allen 1999). In return, all AMF species obligately depend on the host plant for photosynthetically fixed carbon. Given their obligate dependence, AMF are influenced by their hosts at essentially every phase in their life history – hyphal development, sporulation and spore germination (Hetrick & Bloom 1986; Sanders & Fitter 1992; Bever et al. 1996). On the other hand, the degree of mycorrhizal dependence often varies widely among the host plant species in a community (Janos 1980a; Azcon & Ocampo 1981; Hetrick et al. 1992; Kiers et al. 2000).
A central and still largely unanswered question is the degree to which host plant and AMF species influence each other's community composition in natural systems. Fundamentally, for community effects to occur, different combinations of host and AMF species must produce different outcomes of survival and growth.

Summary
Introduction
Fungal endophytes are defined as those fungi that live inside plant tissues (e.g. roots, stems, leaves) without causing apparent harm to their host (see Wilson 1995). Although we will also mention stem-associated endophytes (see Evans et al. 2003) and endophytes associated with roots (mycorrhizae; see Herre et al., this volume), throughout this chapter, we will focus primarily on the implications of recent studies of the endophytic fungi that live inside plant leaf tissue. These foliar endophytes are extremely diverse phylogenetically and have been documented in nearly all plants sampled (e.g. mosses, liverworts, ferns, conifers and angiosperms; Carroll 1988; Clay 1988; Petrini 1991; Schultess & Faeth 1998; Frohlich & Hyde 1999; Stone et al. 2000; Arnold et al. 2000; Arnold 2002; Arnold et al. 2003; Davis et al. 2003). Despite the growing recognition of their wide distribution across plant taxa, basic attributes of their biology are still poorly understood. Specifically, endophyte diversity, distributions, life cycles, interactions with hosts and other fungi, and their net chemical, physiological and ecological influences are only beginning to be appreciated and studied. This is particularly true in the extremely diverse tropics.
The best-studied endophytes are ascomycetes belonging to the family Clavicipitaceae. These fungi grow throughout the aboveground tissues of some temperate grass species (e.g. Festuca arundinacea, see Clay & Schardl 2002). Typically, in infected individuals, a single fungal genotype infects a single plant individual.

A survey is presented of our works on orientability of poly(p-phenylene-benzbisthiazole) (PBT) as a model for rigid rods. It starts with the solid state with specific reference to diffraction by the individual molecule. It is followed by behaviour in semidilute solutions, demonstrating increase of orientability with increasing rod alignment, with vastly higher absolute values (as expressed by rotational diffusion coefficient) than anticipated from existing theory. The origin of the discrepancy, as identified by simulations, lies in the inappropriateness of the application of mean constraints, a recognition which should have wider implications. The relaxation from the highly oriented state, also in solution, has been followed and the elementary rotational jump of rods identified, with a new method relying on in situ (synchrotron) X-ray diffraction. As a separate line, we are announcing a new model system, ellipsoidal latices of predesigned axial ratios, with wide ranging potential for the study of rigid rod behaviour in polymer and colloid science.

This paper examines the stylistic use of language by West Indian men. A verbal duel is explored and related to an opposition between two West Indian value systems. The concept of ‘vertical code switching’, such as in diglossia, is found to be inadequate to account for the verbal behavior. More significant is a type of ‘horizontal’ switching which involves phonological and suprasegmental features. (Multilingualism, creole languages, code and style switching, ‘lente’ and ‘allegro’ speech, ethnography of communication; San Andrés Island, Colombia.)
