Lesson: Understanding the OSL Qualifiers for KeSPA and Non-KeSPA Players

Introduction:
The OSL (OnGameNet Starleague) is a prestigious StarCraft 2 tournament in South Korea that attracts top players from around the world. In this lesson, we will learn about the qualifiers for the upcoming season of the OSL and how they differ for KeSPA and non-KeSPA players.

Section 1: Understanding the OSL Qualifiers

Topic 1: What are the OSL Qualifiers?
The OSL Qualifiers are a series of matches that determine which players will advance to the main tournament. They are held before the start of each season to ensure that only the best players compete in the main event.

Topic 2: How do the qualifiers differ for KeSPA and non-KeSPA players?
For the upcoming season of the OSL, there will be separate qualifiers for KeSPA players and non-KeSPA players. KeSPA players are professional gamers who are members of the KeSPA association, which is the official eSports organization in South Korea. Non-KeSPA players are those who are not members of KeSPA but still want to participate in the OSL.

Topic 3: Who can participate in the qualifiers?
Non-KeSPA players must be members of one of the nine Korean SC2 teams or be in masters league or higher at the end of season 7. They cannot simply register for the qualifiers without meeting these requirements.

Section 2: Practical Examples

Topic 4: What if I am not a KeSPA player but want to participate in the OSL?
If you are not a KeSPA player but still want to participate in the OSL, you need to be a member of one of the nine Korean SC2 teams or be in masters league or higher at the end of season 7. This means that you need to have a contract with one of these teams or achieve a high rank in the masters league to be eligible for the qualifiers.

Topic 5: What if I am a KeSPA player but not a member of a KeSPA team?
If you are a KeSPA player but not a member of a KeSPA team, you will have to participate in the separate qualifiers for KeSPA players. These qualifiers have not yet been announced, so you will need to keep an eye on the OSL website for more information.

Section 3: Self-Debating Discussions

Topic 6: Is it fair that there are separate qualifiers for KeSPA and non-KeSPA players?
Some people may argue that it is not fair that there are separate qualifiers for KeSPA and non-KeSPA players, as it creates an uneven playing field. However, others may argue that it is necessary to have separate qualifiers to ensure that only the best players compete in the main tournament. What do you think?

Conclusion:
In this lesson, we learned about the OSL Qualifiers for KeSPA and non-KeSPA players. We discussed the differences between the two qualifiers and explored practical examples of who can participate in them. We also engaged in self-debating discussions about the fairness of separate qualifiers for KeSPA and non-KeSPA players. By understanding these concepts, we can better appreciate the complexity of eSports tournaments and the challenges that come with organizing them.


text: also give your seal of approval to an "electability" strategy executed by stoking race-based fear and division among voters. We expect that from the Republicans; we fight them on it every year. But now the leadership of the Democratic Party is poised to cosign this strategy of division and disenfranchisement. This could be the worst mistake the party has ever made, yet it's being talked about as a legitimate way for this campaign to end.. The voters who have come out in record numbers to participate in the Democratic Party won't allow this to happen, and as the most visible leaders of the party, you must reject the idea that the nomination can be won with a strategy that preys on racism, sows division, and disenfranchises millions of voters..

CDK phosphorylation regulates Mcm3 degradation in budding yeast.
Accurate regulation of activity and level of the MCM complex is critical for precise DNA replication and genome transmission. Cyclin-dependent kinase (CDK) negatively regulates nuclear localization of the MCM complex via phosphorylation of the Mcm3 subunit. More recently, we found that Mcm3 is degraded via the Skp1-Cullin-F-box (SCF)-proteasome axis in budding yeast. However, how Mcm3 degradation is regulated is largely unknown. Here, we show that CDK represses Mcm3 degradation. Phosphorylated Mcm3 was excluded from the nucleus, where SCF is predominantly located, although CDK-mediated phosphorylation itself generated a phosphodegron of Mcm3, stimulating the degradation of Mcm3 resident in the nucleus. Thus, CDK negatively regulated nuclear MCM levels by exclusion from the nucleus and degradation in the nucleus via Mcm3 phosphorylation. We will discuss the physiological importance of Mcm3 degradation.

Lesson: How CDK Phosphorylation Regulates Mcm3 Degradation in Budding Yeast

Introduction:
The MCM complex is essential for DNA replication and genome transmission. Accurate regulation of its activity and level is critical for proper cellular function. In budding yeast, the MCM complex is negatively regulated by cyclin-dependent kinase (CDK) through phosphorylation of the Mcm3 subunit. This phosphorylation event prevents the nuclear localization of the MCM complex. However, the regulation of Mcm3 degradation is not well understood.

Main Topic: CDK Phosphorylation Regulates Mcm3 Degradation in Budding Yeast

Section 1: Phosphorylation of Mcm3 by CDK

CDK phosphorylates the Mcm3 subunit, which prevents its nuclear localization. This phosphorylation event generates a phosphodegron of Mcm3, which stimulates degradation of Mcm3 in the nucleus.

Questions and Answers:

Q: What does CDK do to Mcm3?
A: CDK phosphorylates Mcm3, preventing its nuclear localization and generating a phosphodegron that stimulates degradation of Mcm3 in the nucleus.

Section 2: Regulation of Mcm3 Degradation by CDK

The phosphorylation of Mcm3 by CDK prevents its nuclear localization, which in turn stimulates degradation of Mcm3 in the nucleus. This negative regulation of MCM levels by CDK is essential for accurate DNA replication and genome transmission.

Questions and Answers:

Q: How does CDK regulate Mcm3 degradation?
A: CDK regulates Mcm3 degradation by phosphorylating Mcm3, which prevents its nuclear localization and stimulates degradation of Mcm3 in the nucleus.

Section 3: Physiological Importance of Mcm3 Degradation

The degradation of Mcm3 is important for accurate DNA replication and genome transmission. By controlling the activity and level of the MCM complex, cells can ensure that DNA replication occurs at the appropriate time and place.

Questions and Answers:

Q: Why is Mcm3 degradation important?
A: Mcm3 degradation is important for accurate DNA replication and genome transmission, as it ensures that the MCM complex is active and present only when needed.

Conclusion:

Understanding the regulation of Mcm3 degradation by CDK is crucial for understanding the proper functioning of the MCM complex. This knowledge can be applied to other cellular processes that rely on the regulation of protein activity and levels. By studying the physiological importance of Mcm3 degradation, we can gain a better understanding of the role of the MCM complex in DNA replication and genome transmission.

Bacterial vaginosis increases in pessary users.
The purpose of this study was to examine the association between pessary use, smoking and changes in the vaginal flora. Patients using pessaries were age matched with non-pessary using controls. All candidates examined were women attending the Mount Sinai Hospital, Toronto, for genitourinary problems. Vaginal cultures were routinely performed on all women attending the unit, irrespective of symptoms. Forty-four pessary users were age matched with 176 controls (4 controls per case). The mean age was 60.1 +/- 12.6 years, and 15% of these were premenopausal. The duration of pessary use ranged from 0.5 to 8 years (mean 3.3 +/- 1.7). Weight, parity, smoking status, diabetes mellitus, thyroid disease, UTI and postvoid residual urine volume were not significantly different between pessary users and controls. Bacterial vaginosis (BV) was noted in 32% of pessary users, versus 10% of controls. The relative risk of developing BV in pessary users was 3.3 (OR, 4.37; 95% CI, 2.15-9.32), P = 0.0002. Smoking independently affected the vaginal flora, increasing the relative risk of developing BV to 2.9 (OR, 3.78; 95% CI, 2.05-8.25), P = 0.0013. It was concluded that pessary use is a very effective and conservative method for the treatment of genital prolapse. However, we found that the presence of a foreign body was associated with changes in the vaginal flora, thereby increasing the odds of developing bacterial vaginosis to 4.37; this was further compounded by smoking.

Lesson: The Impact of Pessary Use on Bacterial Vaginosis

Introduction:
Pessaries are medical devices that are inserted into the vagina to support pelvic organs or to treat certain conditions such as prolapse or incontinence. However, there have been concerns about the impact of pessary use on the vaginal flora, which can lead to bacterial vaginosis (BV). This lesson will explore the relationship between pessary use and BV, including the risks, the impact on vaginal flora, and ways to prevent or treat BV.

Section 1: Understanding Bacterial Vaginosis

**Topic 1.1: What is Bacterial Vaginosis?**
Bacterial vaginosis (BV) is a condition in which the normal balance of bacteria in the vagina is disrupted, leading to an overgrowth of certain bacteria. This can cause symptoms such as itching, burning, and a fishy odor. BV is common, affecting up to 30% of women at some point in their lives.

**Topic 1.2: What causes BV?**
BV is caused by an imbalance in the normal bacterial flora of the vagina. This can be due to several factors, including changes in the pH balance of the vagina, antibiotic use, douching, and sexual activity. Pessary use has also been identified as a risk factor for BV.

Section 2: The Impact of Pessary Use on Bacterial Vaginosis

**Topic 2.1: How does pessary use affect the vaginal flora?**
Pessary use can disrupt the normal balance of bacteria in the vagina, leading to an overgrowth of certain bacteria and the development of BV. This is because the pessary can create a moist environment that promotes the growth of certain bacteria, such as Gardnerella vaginalis, which is associated with BV.

**Topic 2.2: What are the risks of developing BV with pessary use?**
Women who use pessaries are at an increased risk of developing BV compared to those who do not use them. Studies have shown that up to 32% of pessary users develop BV, compared to only 10% of women who do not use pessaries.

Section 3: Prevention and Treatment of Bacterial Vaginosis

**Topic 3.1: How can I prevent BV while using a pessary?**
To reduce the risk of developing BV while using a pessary, it is essential to follow proper hygiene practices. This includes washing your hands before inserting or removing the pessary and avoiding the use of harsh soaps or douches. It is also crucial to keep the vaginal area clean and dry, as moisture can promote the growth of bacteria.

**Topic 3.2: What treatment options are available for BV?**
If you develop BV while using a pessary, there are several treatment options available. These include over-the-counter antifungal creams, such as clindamycin or metronidazole, which can help restore the normal balance of bacteria in the vagina. In more severe cases, your healthcare provider may prescribe a higher dose of antibiotics or recommend a course of oral contraceptives to help prevent recurrence.

Conclusion:
In conclusion, pessary use has been shown to increase the risk of developing BV. However, by following proper hygiene practices and seeking appropriate treatment if necessary, women can minimize this risk and maintain good vaginal health. Understanding the impact of pessary use on vaginal flora and BV can help women make informed decisions about their health and well-being.

text: 'In a book of such varied contents, it is certain that eveyone will find something which will challenge and inform - and indeed, on occasion, inspire.' - John Bowker, Church Times Throughout history human beings have been preoccupied with personal survival after death. As a consequence, most world religions proclaim that life continues beyond the grave, and they have depicted the Hereafter in a variety of forms. These various conceptions constitute answers to the most perplexing spiritual questions: Will we remember our former lives in the Hereafter? Will we have bodies? Can bodiless souls recognize each other? Will we continue to have personal identity? Will we be punished or rewarded, or absorbed into the Godhead? These issues serve as the basis of this collection of essays which provide a framework for understanding traditional conceptions of the Hereafter as well as new perspectives..

text: Background Information: Caspase-3 (also know as CPP32, Yama and apopain) is a major member of the caspase-family of cysteine proteases. Caspase-3 exists in cells as an inactive 32 kDa proenzyme. During apoptosis procaspase-3 is processed at aspartate residues by self-proteolysis and/or cleavage by upstream caspases, such as caspase-6 (Mch2), caspase-8 (Flice) and grazyme B. The processed form of caspase-3 consists of large (17 kD) and small (11 kD) subunits which associate to form the active enzyme. The active caspase-3 has been shown involving in the proteolysis of several important molecules, such as poly (ADP-ribose) polymerase (PARP), the sterol regulatory element binding proteins (SREBPs), focal adhesion kinase (FAK), and others. The recombinant active human caspase-3 expressed in E. coli spontaneously undergoes autoprocessing to yield subunits characteristic of the native enzyme. The active caspase-3 preferentially cleaves caspase-3 substrates (e.g., DEVD-AFC or DEVD-pNA) and is routinely tested at BioVision for its ability to enzymatically cleave these two substrates Ac-DEVD-pNA (Cat. #1008-200) or Ac-DEVD-AFC (1007-200).

textbook:
Lesson: Introduction to Caspase-3

### Overview
Caspase-3 is a protein that plays an important role in the process of apoptosis, also known as programmed cell death. This process is essential for the normal development and maintenance of multicellular organisms. In this lesson, we will learn about the structure, function, and importance of caspase-3.

### Section 1: Structure and Function of Caspase-3
Caspase-3 is a cysteine protease, meaning it is a type of enzyme that breaks down proteins. It exists in cells as an inactive 32 kDa proenzyme. During apoptosis, caspase-3 is activated by being processed at specific aspartate residues. This processing separates the proenzyme into large and small subunits, which then associate to form the active enzyme.

The active caspase-3 has several important functions during apoptosis. It is responsible for the proteolysis of several key molecules, including poly (ADP-ribose) polymerase (PARP), the sterol regulatory element binding proteins (SREBPs), focal adhesion kinase (FAK), and others. This means that caspase-3 helps to break down these molecules, allowing the cell to undergo apoptosis.

### Section 2: Importance of Caspase-3
Apoptosis is an essential process for the normal development and maintenance of multicellular organisms. It allows for the removal of damaged, infected, or unnecessary cells without causing inflammation or damage to surrounding tissues. Caspase-3 plays a crucial role in this process, as it is responsible for the proteolysis of key molecules that initiate and regulate apoptosis.

Dysregulation of apoptosis can lead to various diseases, including cancer, autoimmune disorders, and neurodegenerative diseases. Therefore, understanding the structure, function, and regulation of caspase-3 is important for developing therapeutic strategies to target apoptosis-related pathways in these diseases.

### Section 3: Examples and Applications
One example of caspase-3's importance is in cancer research. Cancer cells often exhibit resistance to apoptosis, allowing them to survive and proliferate despite the presence of DNA damage or other cellular stresses. By understanding the role of caspase-3 in apoptosis, researchers can develop drugs that target this enzyme or its regulators, potentially restoring the normal process of cell death in cancer cells.

Another application of caspase-3 research is in the study of neurodegenerative diseases, such as Alzheimer's disease and Parkinson's disease. These diseases are characterized by the accumulation of misfolded proteins and the subsequent activation of apoptotic pathways. By understanding the role of caspase-3 in the clearance of these misfolded proteins, researchers can develop potential therapeutic strategies to prevent or treat these devastating diseases.

### Conclusion
In conclusion, caspase-3 is an important protein involved in the process of apoptosis. It is responsible for the proteolysis of key molecules that initiate and regulate apoptosis. Understanding the structure, function, and regulation of caspase-3 is important for developing therapeutic strategies to target apoptosis-related pathways in various diseases, including cancer and neurodegenerative diseases.

Lesson: How to Conduct a Card Sorting Exercise

## Overview
Card sorting is a research method used to understand how people organize and categorize information. In this lesson, we will learn how to conduct a card sorting exercise to identify important information when choosing a mobile phone.

## Section 1: Introduction
Card sorting is a useful technique for understanding how people group and organize information. It involves creating cards with different pieces of information and asking participants to sort them into categories that make sense to them. This can help us identify what information is most important to users when choosing a mobile phone.

## Section 2: How to Conduct a Card Sorting Exercise
1. Identify the information that needs to be sorted. In this case, it's information about mobile phones.

2. Create cards with different pieces of information, such as "screen size," "battery life," "price," etc.

3. Recruit participants who represent your target audience. For example, you might recruit people who are looking to buy a new mobile phone.

4. Ask participants to sort the cards into categories that make sense to them. Encourage them to use any categories they think are relevant, even if they seem unusual or unconventional.

5. Record the results and analyze them. Look for patterns in how participants grouped the cards and try to identify common themes.

6. Use the results to inform the design of your mobile phone information page. Make sure that the most important information is prominently displayed and easy to find.

## Section 3: Practical Examples
Let's say we have the following cards:

1. Screen size
2. Battery life
3. Price
4. Camera quality
5. Operating system

Lesson: The Importance of Recycling and Composting

Introduction:
Recycling and composting are essential practices that help reduce waste and protect our environment. In this lesson, we will learn about the importance of recycling and composting, the benefits they provide, and how to implement these practices in our daily lives.

Section 1: The Importance of Recycling

Topic 1: What is Recycling?
Recycling is the process of converting waste materials into new products. It involves collecting, sorting, cleaning, and processing materials to create new items.

Topic 2: Why is Recycling Important?
Recycling is essential because it helps conserve natural resources, save energy, and reduce pollution. When we recycle, we reduce the need for raw materials, which means fewer trees are cut down, less water is used, and fewer minerals are mined. Recycling also saves energy because it takes less energy to recycle materials than to produce new ones from scratch.

Topic 3: What Happens to Recycled Materials?
Once materials have been collected and sorted, they are processed and turned into new products. These products can include paper, plastic, metal, and glass, among others.

Section 2: The Importance of Composting

Topic 1: What is Composting?
Composting is the process of breaking down organic matter, such as food scraps and yard waste, into a nutrient-rich soil amendment that can be used to improve soil quality and promote plant growth.

Topic 2: Why is Composting Important?
Composting is essential because it helps reduce waste, conserve natural resources, and improve soil health. When we compost, we reduce the amount of waste that ends up in landfills, where it can emit greenhouse gases and contribute to climate change. Composting also helps conserve water, as it retains moisture in the soil and reduces the need for irrigation. Finally, composting improves soil health by adding essential nutrients and promoting the growth of beneficial microorganisms.

Topic 3: How to Compost at Home
To compost at home, you will need a compost bin or pile, some organic material (such as food scraps, yard waste, and leaves), and a bit of water. Start by layering your materials, alternating between "greens" (such as food scraps) and "browns" (such as dry leaves). Then, add water and turn the pile regularly to aerate it and speed up the decomposition process.

Conclusion:
In conclusion, recycling and composting are essential practices that can help us reduce waste, conserve natural resources, and protect our environment. By implementing these practices in our daily lives, we can make a difference and help create a more sustainable future.

Mid-systolic click and echocardiographic evidence of mitral valve prolapse during electrical pacing.
A mid-systolic click was present in a patient during three years of follow-up after implantation of a permanent transvenous pacemaker. Echocardiography revealed posterior motion of the anterior leaflet which resembled mitral valve prolapse. Both the click and echocardiographic evidence of prolapse disappeared simultaneously with resumption of sinus rhythm and during supraventricular tachyarrhythmias. Wtih spontaneous change in the position of the electrode three years after initial implantation, both the click and the posterior motion of the mitral valve disappeared. The association of mitral valve prolapse with electrical pacing is most unusual and appears to have a distinct pathophysiological mechanism.

Lesson: Understanding the Mechanism of Mitral Valve Prolapse During Electrical Pacing

**Introduction**

Mitral valve prolapse (MVP) is a common heart condition that affects the mitral valve, which separates the left atrium and left ventricle. It occurs when the valve flaps do not close properly, leading to blood leaking back into the left atrium. In this lesson, we will explore the mechanism of MVP during electrical pacing and how it relates to the heart's normal functioning.

**Section 1: The Mechanism of Mitral Valve Prolapse**

Mitral valve prolapse occurs when the mitral valve flaps do not close properly, causing blood to leak back into the left atrium. This can be caused by several factors, including genetic mutations, connective tissue disorders, or other heart conditions. In some cases, MVP can also be triggered by electrical pacing, which is used to regulate the heartbeat in patients with arrhythmias.

**Section 2: Electrical Pacing and Mitral Valve Prolapse**

Electrical pacing involves sending electrical impulses to the heart muscle to regulate the heartbeat. This is usually done with a pacemaker, which is a small device implanted under the skin. While electrical pacing is generally safe, it can sometimes cause MVP in certain patients.

The mechanism behind this is not fully understood, but it is believed that the electrical impulses can cause the mitral valve flaps to malfunction, leading to prolapse. Additionally, the constant electrical stimulation can weaken the heart muscle over time, further increasing the risk of MVP.

**Section 3: Diagnosis and Treatment**

Diagnosing MVP during electrical pacing can be challenging, as the symptoms are often similar to those of other heart conditions. However, if a patient experiences chest pain, shortness of breath, or fainting, it may be an indication of MVP.

Treatment for MVP during electrical pacing typically involves adjusting the pacing settings to minimize the risk of prolapse. In some cases, medication may also be prescribed to help strengthen the heart muscle and improve its function.

**Conclusion**

Understanding the mechanism of MVP during electrical pacing is crucial for diagnosing and treating this condition. By understanding the potential risks and complications associated with electrical pacing, healthcare professionals can better manage patient care and ensure the best possible outcomes.

**Glossary**
- Mitral valve prolapse (MVP): A condition where the mitral valve flaps do not close properly, causing blood to leak back into the left atrium.
- Electrical pacing: A procedure used to regulate the heartbeat by sending electrical impulses to the heart muscle.
- Pacemaker: A small device implanted under the skin that sends electrical impulses to the heart muscle to regulate the heartbeat.

**Self-Debate Discussion**

Do you think that electrical pacing should be avoided in patients with a history of MVP? Why or why not?
