Pangenomic Study of Fusobacterium nucleatum Reveals the Distribution of Pathogenic Genes and Functional Clusters at the Subspecies and Strain Levels by Xiaomei Ma, Tianyong Sun, Jiannan Zhou, Mengfan Zhi, Song Shen, Yushang Wang, Xiufeng Gu, Zixuan Li, Haiting Gao, Pingping Wang, Qiang Feng

“…This study showed that F. nucleatum strains from the same subspecies had similar functional gene compositions, CRISPR types, and secondary metabolite biosynthetic gene clusters, while pathogenic genes, such as virulence genes, antibiotic resistance genes, and GIs, had more strain level specificity. The findings of this study suggest that, for microbial pathogenicity studies, we should carefully consider the subspecies/strains being used, as different strains may vary greatly.…”

Analysis of the Educational Spaces of School in District 2 of Kerman by Hossein Ghazanfarpour, Sadegh Karimi, mostafa khabbazi, mohsen pourkhosravani

“…According to the research process and research data, including existing data and field information collected from schools in the city of Kerman and the output of GIS Arc software, the following results have been obtained:- The existing educational spaces meet the needs of the school population and will not be a serious problem in the physical space due to the decrease in population growth at the national and local levels, which will continue in the coming years.- The problem of physical space of schools is not due to the dimensions of space but due to the unequal distribution of educational spaces in the city, which has created an unbalanced distribution.- Lack of facilities and equipment is another problem of schools so that many schools use old and worn equipment and facilities that reduce the efficiency of the education system.Burnout is part of the educational space, another problem of education, so that 15 schools belong to before 1340, 33 schools were built between 1340 to 1360 and their age is between 38 to 58 years and 63 schools are related It is after 1981, ie they are less than 38 years old. …”
