There is an urgent need to transform our current food system to improve population health/wellbeing and planetary health. A number of challenges exist in order to achieve this. Artists, with their innate ability to use imagination to envision future needs and solve problems, represent a key group in this transformation.

Article Synopsis
  • The study investigates how different diets (high-fat, high-carbohydrate, or a combination) affect the severity of damage caused by Shiga toxin 2 in the brains of mice, focusing on areas related to motor activity.
  • Mice fed high-fat and high-carbohydrate diets experienced greater harm from Shiga toxin 2, with the worst outcomes noted in those on a combined diet, including neurodegeneration and impaired motor functions.
  • The findings suggest that poor nutrition may worsen neurological damage in patients affected by Shiga toxin, indicating that diet can play a critical role in the severity of toxin-induced effects.

Article Synopsis
  • - Effective communication between humans and machines can improve when AI tools adopt a human-like social perspective, specifically through the Theory of Mind (ToM).
  • - ToM helps in understanding and predicting mental states and behaviors, which is key for effective social interactions in various settings like warehouses and healthcare.
  • - This proposal highlights the importance of first-order ToM models in current research and explores the potential for developing a computational model for higher-order ToM to enhance human-AI interactions.

Article Synopsis
  • ChREBP is a key transcription factor that regulates genes involved in glucose, fructose, and lipid metabolism when carbohydrates are consumed, but its broader roles in metabolism need more research.* -
  • In a study using liver-specific gene silencing in rats on a high-fat/sugar diet, suppressing ChREBP resulted in lower short-chain acyl CoA metabolites and decreased free CoA levels, affecting various metabolic enzyme expressions.* -
  • Despite ChREBP knockdown enhancing fatty acid oxidation enzymes, the accumulation of liver acylcarnitines and ketones suggested a shift in metabolite processing, alongside maintained pyruvate levels due to increased transporter expression.*

In current telerobotics and telemanipulator applications, operators must perform a wide variety of tasks, often with a high risk associated with failure. A system designed to generate data-based behavioural estimations using observed operator features could be used to reduce risks in industrial teleoperation. This paper describes a non-invasive bio-mechanical feature capture method for teleoperators used to trial novel human-error rate estimators which, in future work, are intended to improve operational safety by providing behavioural and postural feedback to the operator.
