Binging and purging: agrofood capitalism and the body as socioecological fix

Theorizations of the spatial fix classically look to geographical expansion as the fix for capitalism's perennial crises of overaccumulation. Recent scholarship, evident in this theme issue, extends this thinking to the socioecological, recognizing that many ‘fixes’ these days involve appropriating or reconfiguring nature anew. This paper extends this yet further, by considering the body as a site of socioecological fixes. In recognition of Harvey's original notion of the spatial fix being always in relation to limits, this theorization puts a finer point on scholarship on the body as an accumulation strategy which has not always acknowledged the dialectical elements of this strategy. The body as a site of both limits and fixes is traced through the case of food marketing and processing strategies designed to overcome the obstacle to capitalist accumulation enshrined in Engel's law. These have in part contributed to the so-called obesity epidemic; and they are also involved in the commodified cures designed to resolve it—metabolism-defying diet foods being the example par excellence. These are designed to overcome particular limits of accumulation but, in doing so, produce new problems that are only partially resolved. Although the examples provided in this paper are limited to obesity and its putative cures, the larger point is to shed light on capitalism's potential to significantly rework bodily processes and spaces in ways conducive to ongoing accumulation, as immanent in the bioeconomy.

Dynamic virtualisation: modelling performance of engineering structures

The aim of this innovative training network is to train a new generation of early-stage researchers (ESR’s) to face the urgent challenge of how to model the performance of engineering structures that operate in dynamic environments. Building trusted virtual models for structures subject to high dynamic loads is a process we call “dynamic virtualisation”. All the ESR’s who receive training through this network will (i) obtain a PhD from an internationally recognised University, (ii) gain experience of applying their research skills in non-academic organisations, and (iii) receive training in transferable skills such commercialisation and communication. The network will be run as part of the Open Data Project giving maximum research impact through open access publications, data, software and public engagement. The research carried out through this network will go beyond the now ubiquitous process of creating computer based simulation models of structural dynamics. Obtaining a valuable virtual model is no longer a question of computing power, but now rests in the more difficult problem of developing trust in the model through the process of verification and validation (V & V). The challenges are perhaps most obvious in the renewable energy sector, where technology is developing at a very rapid pace, and more reliable models are required to cope with structures subjected to extreme loadings which lead to a high degree of nonlinearity, and uncertainties. Applying our research to such problems will be accelerated by close interaction with the industrial partners in the network, with whom we intend to maintain and enhance an innovation focused relationship. This will result in a training network where ESR’s are able to be creative, entrepreneurial and innovative whilst receiving state of the art training that will enable them to deal with future challenges in this important area of engineering.

Political instruction in the soviet armed forces: civil-military relations in war and socialist construction, 1918-1942

This research project will provide a detailed account of the development and functioning of the Soviet institutions of civilian control over the military: the parallel hierarchy of political officers of the Political Directorate of the Red Army and the Communist Party organisations operating in the Soviet Armed Forces.  Drawing on the interdisciplinary social science field of Civil Military Relations (CMR) it will investigate the nature of the relationship between party organisation, regular and political officers and provide an assessment of the impact of this arrangement on relations between officers and enlisted men and women as well as combat readiness and effectiveness during the Russian Civil War and the early stages of the Second World War. It will further offer an evaluation of this system as a means of civilian control over the military within the specific context of the Soviet state-building project in the interwar period. The origins of the Red Army as a paramilitary sub-state actor will be placed at the centre of the analysis. This project will thus contribute to multiple literatures, including the history of Stalinism and the history of military politics in interwar Europe, as well as the social science CMR literature.

This research action will be pursued at the interdisciplinary Centre for War Studies of University College Dublin under the supervision of Professor Robert Gerwarth.
Training objectives to be pursued during this project include familiarisation with the social science field of CMR as well as the development of the skills necessary to reach a position of professional maturity as a world-class researcher. The hosting institution will provide training in effective publication and collaboration strategies as well as mentorship and supervision of students. As the hosting institution is located in a different country to the one where the researcher is currently based, this project will also offer significant networking opportunities
Part II: The 50°/60° fibular tunnel trajectory for posterolateral corner reconstruction in a cadaver model

Using data from our MRI study, we found that a tunnel oriented 50° externally rotated and 60° cephalad would better connect the fibular collateral ligament (FCL) insertion to the popliteofibular ligament (PFL) insertion as compared to a traditional anterior-to-posterior (A-P) fibular tunnel. The purpose of this study was to test that finding in a cadaver model.In eight cadaver knee pairs (16 knees), a guide pin was driven from the fibular FCL insertion point in a 50° externally rotated and 60° cephalad trajectory in 8 knees, and in a traditional A-P trajectory in the contralateral 8 knees. Proximity of the pin to the native PFL insertion, the peroneal and tibial nerves was measured, followed by drilling over the guide pin and measuring the remaining fibular bone stock.In comparison with the A-P fibular tunnel technique, the 50°/60° technique resulted in a fibular exit point significantly closer to the native PFL insertion (p < 0.01). Both techniques were safe with regard to the tibial and peroneal nerves. There were no instances of fibular wall blowout in either technique; however, there was less superior bone remaining in the 50°/60° technique (p < 0.04).In a cadaveric model, the 50°/60° technique for PLC reconstruction resulted in a more anatomic-based tunnel than an A-P fibular tunnel.
Do politically connected independent directors create or destroy value?

Abstract We investigate whether politically connected independent directors (PCIDs), compared with other independent directors, create or destroy firm value and the channels through which they create or destroy firm value. Based on an exogenous regulatory change, we find that PCIDs—especially high level PCIDs—destroy firm value compared with non-PCIDs. The value-destroying effect is a net effect of: (i) PCIDs are less effective than non-PCIDs in monitoring managers, (ii) PCIDs do not differ from non-PCIDs in monitoring controlling shareholders, and (iii) PCIDs can divert political resources to a firm. However, PCIDs' value-destroying effect can be attenuated by effective external governance mechanisms (i.e., high levels of marketization and analyst coverage). Our results make a significant contribution to the literature and have important policy implications.
A Evolução histórica do estudo da anatomia: uma revisão bibliográfica

A anatomia é a ciência que se destina a estudar macro e microscopicamente a constituição dos seres. Foi a partir dela que o conhecimento médico evoluiu excepcionalmente através dos séculos. A história da anatomia passa pela técnica de mumificação no Egito antigo, pelos filósofos gregos, pelas proibições religiosas da Idade Média, pela revolução de Darwin e pelos mais sofisticados aparelhos criados na modernidade. A anatomia foi ganhando cada vez mais espaço, como consequência do anseio da Medicina em entender o funcionamento do corpo humano e em transformar a qualidade de vida da sociedade.
ULTRASOUND DEVICE

An ultrasound device has an ultrasound scanner unit at a distal portion of a shaft. The ultrasound scanner unit has ultrasound transducers and capacitors, each comprising a bottom electrode provided over a substrate, a region over the bottom electrode, a dielectric layer over (and preferably also beneath) the region and a top electrode over the dielectric layer. For the ultrasound transducers, the region is a cavity formed by removing a sacrificial layer. For the capacitors, the region may be the sacrificial layer. Capacitors can thus be formed integrally with the cMUT elements.
Perspective-based referring expression generation in a 3D environment

With the ability of communicating verbally that human beings have, a series of problems arises that have no precedents in other animals. Due to differences in customs, origins, sex, race and many others, the way humans express themselves and analize situations can be very different from one person to another.
This project is based on a previous work (Rabadan and Rodriguez, 2014), where it was researched the way in which people create descriptions to refer to someone in particular and a meta-algorithm was created, capable of generating a description of a person in digital 3D environment. Nevertheless, this meta-algorithm had limitations because it was tested in very specific ways, for example, having the person that is going to be described always in the user's field of view, and having the user's field of view fixed and unmovable.
In this project is investigated how spatial properties and the different points of view of the interlocutors affect the composition of descriptions used when referring to another person.
Having as a base the algorithm of the previous project, a new metaalgorithm has been created capable of the generation of descriptions in more realistic circumstances. The performance of the previous algorithm was conditioned by not very realistic factors, but the new meta-algorihtm aims to generate clear and understandable descriptions for human beings and also aims to be prepared to generate descriptions in situations more like real life.
Using the graphic engine Unity 3D, the previous closed room with characters was employed for testing the new meta-algorithm. Nevertheless, the ability to move around the environment and new random characters were added. This way, a 3D environment was created where the different situations the new meta-algorithm can be tested against increases.
The effectiveness of the new meta-algoritm was put to the test by a series of surveys that measure the performace through real life users. These users read the generated drescriptions and look for the character that was described. This way, it was possible to verify that the descriptions were clear enough for any person to understand.
As a consecuence of this project, an advance in the field of Generation of Referring Expressions was made with the creation of a meta-algorithm with a high success rate, capable of adapting in real time and taking into account the relative positions of the description's receptor. This way, the generated descriptions are more realistic than in the previous project.
A novel medical device for the treatment of endometriosis

Endometriosis is one of the most prevalent, impactful and undertreated disorders to affect European women. The condition is defined as an estrogen-dependent disorder, where endometrial tissue forms lesions outside the uterus resulting in chronic pain and infertility. Endometriosis affects an estimated 10% of European women in the reproductive-age group (176 million women worldwide and 10.7 million in the EU) with significant impact on their physical, mental, and social well-being (This impact is exacerbated by the fact that the correct diagnosis is made as late as 8–11 years after symptom presentation. Treatment delays are due to a lack of a reliable non-invasive diagnostic test, and the fact that the reference diagnostic standard is laparoscopy (invasive, expensive and not without risks). As there is no permanent cure for endometriosis, current therapies have three main goals: (i) to reduce pain; (ii) to increase the pregnancy rate for women who desire to have children and (iii) to delay recurrence for as long as possible. The EndoSolve project will develop the first medical device to treat the underlying mechanism of endometriosis, providing a long-term non-pharma treatment for the chronic disease.
Elucidating the mechanism of mechanotransduction through yap and taz

The mechanical properties of the cellular environment deeply influence cell fate and behavior. Cells respond to outer forces not only through the rapid remodeling of their cytoskeleton, but also by implementing gene expression changes. The Piccolo laboratory pioneered the notion that the transcriptional coactivators YAP and TAZ act independently of the Hippo pathway to activate gene expression in response to cytoskeletal tension. Crucially, YAP/TAZ are the main effectors of the cellular response to mechanical cues instructing proliferation, cell death or cell fate choice. Despite the importance of mechanosensing in development, tissue homeostasis and cancer, the mechanistic link between the actin network and YAP/ TAZ regulation has remained elusive.
This project aims to close this gap in our knowledge by uncovering the molecular events that lead to the activation and nuclear translocation of YAP/TAZ in cells experiencing mechanical strain. Using live imaging, I plan to derive a model of the nuclear YAP shuttling dynamics. Optogenetic tools and targeted genetic approaches will be used to delineate which components of the actomyosin network are sufficient to regulate YAP/TAZ and to probe a potential link to nuclear mechanics. Mass spectrometry will provide a comprehensive view of YAP/TAZ interaction partners in cells subjected to different mechanical inputs and biochemical validation experiments will systematically delineate the molecular pathway of mechanotransduction from cytoskeletal tension to YAP/TAZ activation. Finally, loss- and gain-of-function experiments in a range of model systems will establish the functional importance and generality of these newly identified mechanotransduction pathway players. Uncovering the mechanotransduction pathway will not only greatly advance our understanding of cell biology, but also aid to identify potential targets for cancer therapy, as indeed the stiffening of the tumour environment is a driving factor in cancer progression.

Non-Histone protein acetylation targets of kat2a in aml

The importance of an insight into how cell fate is established and maintained, extends far beyond the interests of developmental biology. It is pivotal to our understanding of how these processes can be hijacked and deranged in diseases such as cancer, or of the factors involved in reprogramming cell identity and function. Acute Myeloid Leukaemia (AML) has a dismal prognosis with less than 30% 5-year survival. Mainstay therapy has remained essentially unchanged for the past three decades, with all small advances in disease-free survival attributable to transplantation and improved supportive care. Only recently PKC412 has received Food and Drug Administration (FDA)’s break through therapy designation for the FLT3-ITD+ AML. This paves the way for  investigation considering that FLT3-ITD as a driving oncogenic mutation has been found in ~30% of the AML patients. The pathogenesis of AML is heterogeneous, but there are common themes of epigenetic, transcriptional and signalling dysregulation that contribute to the resulting clonal expansion of blasts at different stages of maturation, and accompanying bone marrow failure. A significant number of the most commonly mutated targets in AML are histone modifiers, i.e. proteins or complexes that catalyse post-translational modifications in specific residues of the histone side chains. A less studied acetyltransferase, but crucially implicated in AML is KAT2A, the first histone acetyl-transferase (HAT) identified in yeast.GCN5 also acetylates the AML1/MDS1/EVI1 fusion protein in rare cases of AML.KAT2A regulates the activity of Peroxisome Proliferator- Activated Receptor Gamma-Coactivator-1α and B through protein acetylation. The goal of this proposal is to explore the role of KAT2A in Acute Myeloid Leukaemia (AML) through investigation of its non-histone protein acetylation activity.
Recent changes in wetlands on the Tibetan Plateau: A review

About 80% of global wetland resources are degrading or disappearing; thus the wetland ecosystem has become one of the most seriously threatened ecosystems in the world. As an area sensitive to global changes and acting as a security barrier for the Asian ecosystem, the Tibetan Plateau has about 13.19×104 km2 of wetlands of special significance within China. With the increasing application of remote sensing technology to wetland research, Tibetan Plateau wetland research has entered a period of rapid development. This paper summarizes the remote sensing research literature of the Tibetan Plateau wetlands from 1992 to 2014, and is intended to provide references for future research into the wetlands of the Tibetan Plateau. We have reviewed monitoring methods, research topics, and existing problems. Our review has revealed the following characteristics: (1) Over the past 40 years, the research paradigm of the Tibetan Plateau wetlands has undergone dynamic changes in the monitoring of wetland areas, landscape patterns and the eco-environment based on remote sensing technology. Attention has also been focused on constructing models with an ecological system perspective and analyzing three patterns of change trends within the Tibetan Plateau wetlands. (2) The results of Tibetan Plateau wetland research based on remote sensing were as follows: (a) between 1970 and 2006, the Tibetan Plateau wetland area decreased overall at a rate of 0.23%/a, and the landscape diversity declined at a rate of 0.17%/a; (b) by contrast, between 1976 and 2009, the lake area of the inland river basins in the Tibetan Plateau increased at a rate of 0.83%/a; and (c) the change trend in the Tibetan Plateau wetlands was controlled by climate change. Current problems relating to remote sensing (RS)-based research in the Tibetan Plateau wetlands are computer interpretation accuracy and the processing precision of cloud removal, and the lack of a comprehensive overview of the Tibetan Plateau wetland system. Finally, based on the review, some key activities for future study have been proposed, as follows: (1) Strengthening the integration of the Tibetan Plateau wetland research with remote sensing research; (2) discussing the response and adaptation mechanisms of the Tibetan Plateau wetland ecosystem within the context of global change; (3) strengthening the integration of remote sensing (RS), geographic information system (GIS), and global positioning system (GPS), and promoting the construction of a Tibetan Plateau wetland information platform.
