Young people's understanding of European values: enhancing abilities, supporting participation and voice by Ross, Alistair, Loughran, Tom, Brunold, Andreas, Hartsmar, Nanny, Liljefors Persson, Bodil, Chistolini, Sandra, Dotta, Leanete Thomas, Freires, Thiago, Kõiv, Kristi, Lopes, Juliana Crespo, Pembecioğlu, Nilüfer, Pereira, Fátima, Spinthourakis, Julia Athena

“…Each is introduced in turn, and for each there is • an overview of the value in the current European context: its source in the Convention and the Charter, and its development and contemporary meaning; • an analysis of how young people discussed the value – • differences in different Regions of Europe, and • differences in the characteristic descriptions, by timing, location, and type of othering (described in statistics and by illustrative quotations of remarks by young people) • a discussion of the implications of this for pedagogic practice about furthering the understanding of the specific value. …”

Component-based security under partial compromise by Dehnel-Wild, M

“…This complexity increases both functionality and potential vulnerability. In turn, this makes ensuring the security of these critical systems simultaneously harder and more important than ever.…”

Induction of apoptosis and the signalling pathways involved by dillenia suffruticosa dichloromethane root extract in mcf-7 and mda-mb-231 breast cancer cells by Foo, Jhi Biau

“…The induction of apoptosis in MCF-7 and MDA-MB-231 cells by DCM-DS is possibly due to the activation of pro-apoptotic JNK1 and down-regulation of anti-apoptotic ERK1 and AKT1, which in turn down-regulates anti-apoptotic BCL-2 to increase the BAX/BCL-2 ratio to initiate the mitochondrial apoptotic pathway. …”

Agent-Based Model of Virtual Community Cohesion (S/O: 13443) by Yusop, Nor Iadah, Mat Aji, Zahurin, Ab. Aziz, Azizi, Md Dahalin, Zulkhairi

“…In achieving the aim of this study, an agent-based model (ABM) was applied to help understand the interactions between people (agents) who, in turn, influence one another. ABM bridges the descriptive approach used in the social sciences and the formal approach used in the hard sciences by focusing on the processes or behaviours that build the social reality. …”

Non-linear Log-Sobolev Inequalities for the Potts Semigroup and Applications to Reconstruction Problems by Gu, Yuzhou, Polyanskiy, Yury

“…By integrating the 1-NLSI we obtain new strong data processing inequalities (SDPI), which in turn allows us to improve results of Mossel and Peres (Ann Appl Probab 13(3):817–844, 2003) on reconstruction thresholds for Potts models on trees. …”

The Cognitive Underpinnings of Legal Complexity by Martínez, Eric

“…Analyzing every law passed by congress between 1951 and 2022 with matched texts from four different genres, we find that laws have and continue to be disproportionately laden with psycholinguistically complex structures relative to baseline genres of English, suggesting that top-down efforts to simplify legal texts over this period have largely failed. 3 Chapters IV and V turn to the producer side, investigating why legal actors write in a complex manner in the first place. …”

Hodge theory and its applications to molecular data analysis by Koh, Ronald Joon Wei

“…We first show that HodgeRank can also be used to successfully quantify the ``curvedness'' of different biomolecules, such as modelling the protein folding process and comparing biomolecules of different scales and complexities. We then turn our attention back to Hi-C data, which encompasses TADs/TAD regions. …”

Negative auto-regulation of myostatin expression is mediated by SMAD3 and microRNA-27 by Ge, XiaoJia, McFarlane, Craig, Vajjala, Anuradha, Arigela, Harikumar, Lokireddy, Sudarsanareddy, Bonala, Sabeera, Manickam, Ravikumar, Kambadur, Ravi, Sharma, Mridula

“…These data highlight a novel auto-regulatory mechanism in which Mstn, via Smad3 signaling, regulates miR-27a/b and in turn its own expression. In support, Mstn-mediated inhibition of Mstn 3′ UTR reporter activity was reversed upon miR-27a/b-specific AntagomiR transfection. …”

Understanding customer retrials in call centers: preferences for service quality and service speed by Hu, K, Allon, G, Bassamboo, A

“…<p><strong> Managerial implications:</p></strong> First, our research highlights the importance of recognizing customers’ off-line decisions, which are impacted by online service offerings and, in turn, affect future online service operations. Neglecting customer retrials leads to suboptimal service designs. …”

Attack strategies in birds of prey by Brighton, C

“…It has been proposed that the head is held in line with the body for streamlining, while the body is turned in flight to fixate the image of the prey on the deep fovea, resulting in a curved trajectory. …”

Identification of mechanism of cancer-cell-specific reactivation of hTERT offers therapeutic opportunities for blocking telomerase specifically in human colorectal cancer by Akıncılar, Semih Can, Chua, Joelle Yi Heng, Ng, Qin Feng, Chan, Claire Hian Tzer, Eslami-S, Zahra, Chen, Kaijing, Low, Joo-Leng, Arumugam, Surendar, Aswad, Luay, Chua, Clarinda, Tan, Iain Beehuat, DasGupta, Ramanuj, Fullwood, Melissa Jane, Tergaonkar, Vinay

“…Elevated β-catenin and JunD level in CRC facilitates chromatin interaction between hTERT promoter and T-INT2 that is necessary to turn on hTERTexpression. Pharmacological screens uncovered salinomycin, which inhibits JunD mediated hTERT-T-INT2 interaction that is required for the formation of a stable transcription complex on the hTERT promoter. …”

Exhibiting Southeast Asia in the cultural Cold War: geopolitics of regional art exhibitions (1940s-1980s) by Ditzig Kathleen Elizabeth Li-Ying

“…Exhibiting Southeast Asia in the Cultural Cold War studies these exhibitions through focusing on what I term the bureaucracy of exhibition-making, wherein archival traces make visible the geopolitics and other agonisms that define the exhibitionary process. This in turn reveals how exhibition-makers were able to engage with and even influence the international order while still functioning within local and regional art worlds—in museums, art associations and art centers—and without official political station. …”
