Marta Czok URBE by Scarso, Jacek Ludwig, Ionescu, Georgiana, Czok, Marta

“…In Marta Czok's vision, history is made up of continuous change, concealed by a collective imagination that sees a dimension of eternity in what is, however, ephemeral: like a Julius Caesar who symbolically appears and disappears from the scene, so the riches of the Roman Empire become ruins in a city in constant motion: a deliberately ambiguous comment on how every empire rises and crumbles, and with it its own ideological values.…”

#Hooked? Extending the social cognitive model in examining the antecedents of problematic social network sites use among Singaporean adolescents and adults by Lee, Edmund Wei Jian

“…Most notably, a nuanced difference in how paternal and maternal relationships were associated with adolescents’ problematic SNSs was found—adolescents who had poor relationships with their fathers were more likely to depend on SNSs for identity formation—which had the strongest association with deficient self-regulation. …”

Layer-by-Layer Nanoparticles for Cytokine Delivery by Pires, Ivan S.

“…When evaluated for its effectiveness in this highly aggressive model, two doses could significantly enhance survival compared to even five times (5x) the amount of free cytokine. Remarkably, while the model was non-responsive to checkpoint inhibitor (CPI) therapy with anti-PD1 and anti-CTLA4, when combined with LbL-IL-12-NPs, we achieved complete responses with robust immune memory induction. …”
