    Abstract Many pastoral farmers are searching for ways to lower the carbon emission footprint that is generated by livestock. Planting trees on the farm is currently a popular option for farmers to offset their emissions yet requires knowledge of suitable tree species and locations to plant them. This paper describes a decision-support tool aimed at helping farmers to create and visualise different planting designs while balancing the objectives of sequestering carbon and maintaining farm profitability. We take an innovative approach by combining virtual reality technology with biophysical models to create an environment where the user can actively create virtual future farm scenarios. Through the creation process, the user can simultaneously balance multiple objectives including farm aesthetics, economic returns, business and environmental ambitions, and carbon emissions (net) balance. For this proof-of-concept study, we incorporate virtual reality technology in Unreal Engine, environmental and financial data, and high-resolution spatial layers from an operational 400-hectare livestock farm in New Zealand.

    Abstract Autoimmune hepatitis (AIH) was first studied under its earlier name of "chronic active hepatitis" (CAH) from the 1950s, coincident with a renaissance of interest in autoimmunity. The definition of autoimmune serum reactants in disease, including CAH, gave new insights into chronic hepatitis and liver cirrhosis, and led to refinements of Burnet's clonal selection theory of acquired immunity, 1957-59. Various discoveries including serological reactants in CAH prompted its designation in 1965 as autoimmune hepatitis, and treatment with immunosuppressive drug regimens transformed outcomes and survival. Serological observations further indicated that AIH could exist as either of two types, clinically similar but genetically different: Type 1 aligned more with the non-organ-specific multisystem diseases, and the infrequent Type 2 more with the organ-specific diseases. However, events in either type that could explain the onset of autoimmunity in the normally tolerogenic milieu of the liver have not been discerned. In the genetically predisposed individual, initiation may depend on non-specific death of hepatocytes after which fragments derived from disordered apoptosis acquire the capacity for ongoing auto-immunogenic stimulation. Insufficiency in numbers and function of Treg populations appears important in the promotion of this autoimmune process.

    Abstract Background: Autoimmune hepatitis (AIH) as chronic active hepatitis became recognized in the 1940s as a progressive hyperglobulinemic disease affecting younger women attributed to persisting virus infection of the liver: autoimmunity then was barely on the horizon.
    Early observations: The lupus erythematosus (LE) cell reported in 1948 signified the presence of antinuclear autoantibodies, promoting perceptions of autoimmunity in certain chronic diseases. Recognition of LE cells in chronic hepatitis led to the designation of 'lupoid hepatitis', with autoimmunity further substantiated by anti-cytoplasmic autoantibodies detected by complement fixation. Next a serum reactant with smooth muscle of rodent stomach was found to have a wider distribution and became identified as an autoantibody to filamentous (F) actin. Therapy with corticosteroids proved effective, particularly combined with azathioprine. Various trials showed greatly improved survival and established modern therapy of AIH. An HLA-based predisposition (B8, DR3) was the first pointer to a genetic etiology.
    Recent advances: Recombinant or purified autoantigenic substrates have led to automated assays, which, together with improved immunofluorescence procedures, allow serological confidence in diagnosis and institution of effective immunosuppressive therapies. The liver-kidney 'microsomal' autoantigen reactive with cytochrome P450 2D6 distinguishes two serological types of AIH that appear pathogenetically distinct. Molecular characterization of antigens and epitopes remains wanting in type 1 AIH.
    Future prospects: The challenge remains with both types of AIH to elucidate in molecular terms the genetic and environmental basis of pathogenesis from initiation to ultimate progression and cirrhosis (when inadequately treated). Advancing technologies are bringing this goal closer to being attainable.

    Abstract Consideration on autoimmunity began, as did immunology itself, around year 1900, first with Ehrlich's doctrine of 'horror autotoxicus', then interpreted as 'autoimmunity cannot happen'. Yet by 1904 the antibody nature of the autohemolysin responsible for cold hemoglobinuria was described, and soon confirmed, but without generating any durable concept on autoimmunization as a cause of disease. Reasons included Ehrlich's doctrine, the particular directions that immunology was to take after the initial advances, and a greater preoccupation with bodily responses to extrinsic rather than autologous substances. So, during 1915-1945, autoimmunity underwent a long eclipse despite, during this time, some potentially telling studies relating to brain, kidney and other diseases. The 'awakening' dates from 1945 when a general theoretical concept did appear feasible. Knowledge accrued from applications of several research undertakings mostly for purposes quite unrelated to the proof of autoimmunization: the use of adjuvants; the Coombes anti-globulin reaction; the Waaler-Rose rheumatoid factor; Hargraves' LE cell; the Witebsky-Rose experimental induction of thyroiditis with autologous thyroid gland, and others. By the early 1960s resistance to the idea of autoimmunization had weakened, perhaps hastened by a monograph on autoimmune disease published in 1963, and surely by the consensus reached at a large international conference published as proceedings in 1965. This present conspectus arbitrarily concludes at year 1965, recognizing that the history of autoimmunity even now is far from over.
