“I decide myself” - a qualitative exploration of end of life decision making processes of patients and caregivers through Advance Care Planning by Lall, Priya, Dutta, Oindrila, Tan, Woan Shin, Patinadan, Paul Victor, Kang, Natalie Q. Y., Low, Chan Kee, Car, Josip, Ho, Andy Hau Yan

“…Results: Participants’ narratives focused on four major themes with 12 subthemes: a) Engagement with Death, factors influencing respondents’ acceptance of ACP; b) Formation of Preferences, the set of concerns influencing respondents’ choice of care; c) Choice of PDM, considerations shaping respondents’ choice of nominated health spokesperson; and d) Legacy Solidification, how ACP is used to ensure the welfare of the family after the patient passes. These findings led to our development of the directive decision-making process framework, which delineates personal and sociocultural factors influencing participants’ decision-making processes. …”

Malaria parasite stress tolerance is regulated by DNMT2-mediated tRNA cytosine methylation by Hammam, Elie, Sinha, Ameya, Baumgarten, Sebastian, Nardella, Flore, Liang, Jiaqi, Miled, Samia, Bonhomme, Frédéric, Erdmann, Diane, Arcangioli, Benoit, Arimondo, Paola B., Dedon, Peter, Preiser, Peter, Scherf, Artur

“…In this study, we identified the writer of a specific tRNA cytosine methylation site as a new layer of epitranscriptomic regulation in malaria parasites that regulates the translation of a subset of parasite proteins (>400) involved in different metabolic pathways. Our findings give insight into a novel molecular mechanism that regulates P. falciparum response to drug treatment and sexual commitment.…”

Fast AES-based universal hash functions and MACs: featuring LeMac and Macs by Bariant, Augustin, Baudrin, Jules, Leurent, Gaëtan, Pernot, Clara, Perrin, Léo, Peyrin, Thomas

“…In particular, our framework not only takes into account the number of AES-round calls per message block, but also the very important role of XOR operations and the overall scheduling of the computations. We instantiate our findings with two concrete UHF candidates, both requiring only 2 AES rounds per 128-bit message block, and each used to construct two MACs. …”
