A pilot study on peptidylarginine deiminases and protein deimination in animal cancers across vertebrate species by Inal, Jameel, Hristova, Mariya, Lange, Sigrun

“…Immunohistochemical analysis revealed that CitH3 was strongly detected in all of the cancers assessed, while pan-deimination detection was overall low. Both PAD2 and PAD3 were the most predominantly expressed PADs across all of the cancers assessed, while PAD1, PAD4, and PAD6 were overall expressed at lower, albeit varying, levels. …”

Cancer control and prevention in Argentina by Eraso, Yolanda

“…From the 1920s to the early 1980s, three distinct periods can be identified: first, an institutional approach, where the first cancer institute attempted to concentrate all the activities related to the control of cancer, that is, lay education, scientific research, diagnosis and treatment, patients’ support, and cancer statistics; second, a state approach, inaugurated by the arrival of Juan Domingo Perón to government, where the centralization of cancer initiatives became a state affair; and third, a long period characterized by the retirement of the state—marked by political unrest and a succession of military governments until the return of democracy in 1983—informed by decentralizing policies, the prominent role of civil society actors, such as voluntary organizations and medical societies, and the relative sway of the Pan American Health Organization. Throughout these three periods, all these actors played a role, and their ambivalent relationship and, often poor, interaction shaped the country’s efforts to control and prevent a disease that, since the 1940s, has steadily occupied the second cause of death. …”

Gadzikano, Romano ciacipen, czyli w stronę dekolonizacji badań romologicznych by Mirga-Wójtowicz, Elżbieta, Jóźwiak, Ignacy, Szewczyk, Monika I., Styrkacz, Sonia, Fiałkowska, Kamila, Garapich, Michał P.

“…Na stronie "Studiów Migracyjnych – Przeglądu Polonijnego" czytamy, że czasopismo „kontynuuje tradycje Przeglądu Polonijnego, który ukazał się po raz pierwszy w 1975 roku z inicjatywy ówczesnego Komitetu Badania Polonii PAN. Od samego początku Przegląd Polonijny […] był pismem interdyscyplinarnym, w którym dzieje i przemiany funkcjonowania skupisk polonijnych analizowano w kontekście szeroko rozumianych procesów migracji i stosunków etnicznych”. …”

Novel opto-electronic and plastic fibre sensors by Ioannides, Nicos

“…The middle POF is coupled to a red LED and emits light onto a flat target with the two outer fibres receiving the reflected light from the target and guiding it to two silicon PIN photodiodes. Theoretical investigations on the behaviour of the sensor are presented for ranges between 0 mm and 100 mm, and for targets with different reflectivities. …”

Situated perspectives on the city: a reflection on scaling participation through design by De Carli, Beatrice, Apsan Frediani, Alexandre

“…We discuss these ideas by drawing on our own experience of devising and facilitating a number of participatory design and planning initiatives titled Change by Design with the non-profit organization Architecture Sans Frontières – UK (ASF-UK). Reflecting on this experience, we argue that the inclusion of a design-based, city-level perspective in localized upgrading initiatives can be a powerful conceptual and practical tool to support horizontal, vertical and deep scaling; and we highlight the importance of constructing this design tool in an embodied and situated manner, so that scaling processes remain firmly grounded in everyday lives and experiences.…”
