Public Support for the UK’s Green Industrial Revolution
Authors: Beiser-McGrath Liam F.
Published: March 2021

This PECC Lab Research Brief examines public opinion on the Green Industrial Revolution. It uses a nationally representative survey experiment to estimate how the various components of the Green Industrial Revolution affect public support, and which policy proposals are most popular.Executive Summary:- The Prime Minister has recently unveiled a ten-point plan for a Green Industrial Revolution to meet net-zero emissions targets.- We conducted an original survey experiment to causally identify the public’s support for particular points of this plan and their overall level of support.- Public support is increased substantially by consumer grants for electric vehicles, funding of electric public transport, planting of trees, and wind power.- Investment in air and sea vehicles and nuclear power does not meaningfully increase the public’s support.- An ambitious version of the Green Industrial Revolution sees majority support amongst the public, while taking no action is widely opposed.- This ambitious version of the Green Industrial Revolution sees support across party lines, being similarly popular amongst Conservative and Labour supporters.https://www.pecclab.com/publication/public-support-for-green-industrial-revolution-pecc-lab-research-brief/
Fiscal Impact of Recent Immigrants to Canada
Authors: Kapsalis Constantine
Published: March 2021

In a recent report from the Fraser Institute, Grady and Grubel (2015) concluded that, because of the low taxes they pay and the government services they receive, the fiscal burden of recent immigrants to Canada was significant ($5,329 per immigrant in 2010). The present study, however, shows that the fiscal burden is significant only in the case of refugees and sponsored immigrants. By contrast, economic immigrants actually pay more in taxes than they receive in benefits. This is an important finding because economic immigrants are selected primarily on economic grounds, whereas refugees and sponsored immigrants are accepted primarily on humanitarian and compassionate grounds.
Home Birth and the Maternity Outcomes Emergency: Attending to Race and Gender in Childbirth
Authors: Stark Susan A.
Published: March 2021

Childbirth in the United States is in crisis. This is especially true for Black and brown mothers. This childbirth emergency constitutes a failure of the social contract: because society has failed to provide minimally decent care for all birthing mothers, but especially for Black and brown mothers, it is necessary to allow mothers to choose home birth. I amplify the voices of Black and brown scholars and midwives to defend home birth, and I argue that home birth is safe and empowering and that it is rational for those who desire it to choose it.
Языковой образ Польши и России в текстах обоюдных СМИ
Authors: Lukianov Dmitrii
Published: March 2021

Общеизвестно, что средства массовой информации играют важ-ную роль в создании того или иного языкового образа. В данной статье анализиру-ется, как благодаря языковым средствам создаётся образ России в текстах польской газеты «Газета Выборча» и как аналогичным способом создаётся образ Польши в текстах российской газеты «Новая газета». На основании такого анализа удаётся выявить, какие характеристики русские и поляки приписывают друг другу. Кроме того, анализируется, как поляки и русские воспринимают друг друга с точки зре-ния политики, экономики, истории и культуры. В работе рассматриваются статьи, которые посвящены польско-российским отношениям на фоне политических, эконо-мических и исторических событий. Анализ польских СМИ показывает, что сквозь призму политических, экономических и исторических событий польско-российские отношения воспринимаются негативно, тогда как на фоне культурных событий польско-российские отношения воспринимаются положительно. Образ Польши, представленный в российской газете «Новая газета», независимо от затрагиваемого аспекта, существенно не отличается.
Особенности и способы перевода названий серий мультфиль-ма Маша и медведь на польский язык
Authors: Didenko Natalia
Published: March 2021

Основной заголовок, а также комплекс названий серий мульт-фильма Маша и медведь как элементы паратекста играют принципиальную роль в определении характерных особенностей аудиовизуального продукта в целом. Они указывают на народно-культурную обусловленность мультфильма, которая проявляется на разных уровнях передачи информации (аудио и видео). Комплекс заголовков характеризуется высоким уровнем аллюзивности. В качестве названий встречаются пословицы, фразеологизмы, цитаты из классических произведений литературы, а также фольклора, строки из известных российских песен, модифици-рованные заголовки популярных телепередач. Такого рода названия представляют собой высокую степень сложности для переводчика. В результате анализа названий серий мультфильма и их переводов на польский язык выявлено три способа перевода: дословный, свободный (интерпретация) и замена. Ведущей стратегией является нейтрализация народно-культурной составляющей среды оригинала. Одним из объяснений выбранного пути можно считать тип главного получателя – ребенок, который в связи с недостаточным уровнем когнитивного опыта не расшифрует зако-дированную информацию.

Językowy obraz Ukraińców w polskich dziennikach prasowych (analiza materiałów Narodowego korpusu języka polskiego z lat 2005–2010)
Authors: Borkowska Alisa
Published: March 2021

W niniejszej pracy zostało poddane analizie ilościowej oraz jakościowej słownictwo, należące do kontekstu użycia haseł „Ukrainka” i „Ukrainiec” w celu wyod-rębnienia językowego obrazu Ukraińca w dziennikach prasowych z lat 2005–2010. Baza słów, które podlegały obserwacji, pozyskana została za pomocą dwóch narzędzi korpuso-wych: wyszukiwarki PLECRA, służącej do przeszukiwania Narodowego Korpusu Języka Polskiego, oraz programu Sketch Engine. Po analizie własnego korpusu ze słownictwem kontekstowym haseł „Ukrainiec” i „Ukrainka” wyodrębniono grupy tematyczne, nazywa-jące obszary ich użycia. Większość słownictwa (81%) okazała się neutralna tematycznie, nie miała nacechowania emocjonalnego. Najczęściej mieszkańców Ukrainy w badanej prasie przywoływano w kontekście sportowym (8%) oraz politycznym (5%). Negatywnie nacechowany opis pojawiał się tylko w kontekście historycznym (zaledwie 1%) oraz prze-stępczości (również 1%). W wyniku przeprowadzonego badania, bazującego na zasobach Narodowego Korpusu Języka Polskiego, stwierdzono, że w latach 2005–2010 w polskich dziennikach prasowych językowy obraz Ukraińca jest w zdecydowanej większości neu-tralny, najczęściej ukazywany w kontekście sportowym.
The image of nomadism in Russian reality
Authors: Shlyakov Aleksei
Published: March 2021

The article reveals the specific features of nomadism on the basis of an analysis of the work of poststructuralists, social philosophers. These include the increase in the speeds and frequency of movements of material and virtual objects; blurring the line between Home and work due to the proliferation of the Internet; short duration and simulative interpersonal contacts; a change in the topology of a social space designed according to the principles of a smooth and rhizome space in metropolis, which leads to a nonstop movement. It has been established that in Russian reality manifestations of nomadism can be found in the design and use of spaces of large cities, in the motorization of the population, the development of international and domestic tourism, as well as the emergence of the phenomenon of digital nomads.

Authors: Kozhakhmetova Assel
Published: March 2021

In this article, the authors address the problem of the representation of axiological components regarding modern society based on the material of the Kazakhstani press in Russian. As you know, the media is a kind of barometer of the “mentality” of society. Accordingly, the analysis of newspaper material allows us to judge the formed image of modern society in the axiological consciousness of Kazakhstani people. The purpose of the article is to identify ways and means of verbalizing value and value semantics in the language of the media texts, reflecting the processes of formation of modern Kazakhstani society. As well to make an analysis of axiological components of text world view together with its representation in press. The research being depicted in this paper required the detailed study of newspapers in Kazakhstan and shows its qualitative and quantitative analysis.
Integrative methodological platform to reconstruct macrounits of discourse in functioning: Belarusian case study
Authors: Oukhvanova Irina , Yelsukova Natallia
Published: March 2021

Discourse Linguistics, an applied field of research focused on complex contentmacrostructures open to multiple transformations in functioning, currently raises such a research problem as how to cope with its multidimensional units staying focused on its holistic nature. For this integrative methodological platforms are introduced and tested. The authors, accepting discourse community representations built within the composites of the image-making discourse type as a forefront research object, introduce and verify such kind of a platform both theoretically and practically (on the discourse of respondents who represent one of currently built Belarusian discourse communities). The approaches inbuilt into the platform are Tartu-Moscow semiotic school (Lotman 2005, 205-226), French school of discourse analysis (Maingueneau 2002, 185-190), the causal-genetic approach of discourse modeling / CGA (Oukhvanova 2017, 5-16), and Swales’ approach to discourse community research (2016).
Wizerunek uzdrowicielki syberyjskiej (Natalii Stiepanowej) w świetle krytycznej analizy dyskursu
Authors: Rybarczyk-Dyjewska Joanna
Published: March 2021

The aim of the article is to present the way in which the Siberian Healer (Natal’ya Ivanova Stepanova), in her publications, creates her own image and, at the same time, encourages to use magic practices proposed by herself. Magic handbooks and compilations of charms written by Stepanova served as the empirical material. They were the basis to describe manipulative and persuasive linguistic activities used to affect the recipient. The most common of those activities is argumentation, which is usually described as ‘a set of actions taken to justify some view’. The healer – in order to sway recipients to her views – mainly uses the so-called fallacious arguments, such as e.g. argumentum ad populum or argumentum ad metum. She also uses specific lexical and stylistic means

Construyendo perspectivas de investigación: Una genealogía institucional sobre la depreciación contable como política
Authors: González-Santos Luis
Published: March 2021

Las genealogías contables, constituyen la estrategia más avanzada para alcanzar experticia al abordar los más disímiles constructos del saber. En ese sentido el producto derivado es contexceptual: situado y legitimado. Las autoridades producen las reglas, conceptos, métodos, incluso teorías. Dichos constructos pautan el comportamiento humano, por su influencia en todos y a la vez en cada orden determinado. La regulación contable es una materialización social que impacta la realidad y una forma de incidir que marca las actuaciones de sus profesionales, sean practicantes, docentes o académicos. Utilizando las genealogías como recurso de investigación histórica, este documento analiza, la verdad y validez que subyace a la depreciación, desde la perspectiva del regulador institucional. Se evidencia como tal organismo determina, la operacionalización de las reglas emitidas como política, sin que los conceptos, los métodos y las teorías aportados desde la academia, tengan la relevancia que ameritan. Desde esta perspectiva, estudiar cada trozo de verdad producido, reviste al constructo depreciación de un estado actual, cuya génesis-evolución es producto del metabolismo intelectual que nutre su discusión en el contexto organizacional. Y, aun así, el todo alcanzado, será a la vez más y menos que la suma de sus partes. Constituye estar un paso más cerca de la verdad, abriendo de nuevo oportunidad a la investigación histórica, en contraste a otro tipo de encerramientos que evidencian dar más validez a las oposiciones dicotómicas.

Authors: Hernández J.I. , Morales Víctor , Parra Ramón
Published: March 2021

Existen aplicaciones cuya solución algorítmica, requiere del uso de una cantidad considerable de recursos computacionales (CPU, memoria y almacenamiento). Resolver estas aplicaciones en computadoras secuenciales pudiera generar costos considerables en términos de desempeño y tiempo. Por otro lado, avances recientes en tecnologías de redes permiten a un conjunto de computadoras conectadas en red, colaborar de manera coordinada en la solución de un problema particular. Esto ha impulsado el cómputo paralelo en red como una alternativa viable en la solución de aplicaciones complejas. La idea es particionar una tarea compleja en tareas más pequeñas que se ejecutan de manera coordinada entre las diferentes computadoras de la red. Los algoritmos de asignación de tareas a computadoras se vuelven fundamentales al buscar reducir el tiempo de ejecución de la aplicación particionada entre las computadoras de la red. Este artículo busca fomentar el estudio del cómputo paralelo entre las instituciones de educación superior en México. Pulpo es una herramienta de simulación creada para evaluar algoritmos de asignación de tareas en plataformas distribuidas. Se pretende que pulpo sea una herramienta útil a la comunidad académica interesada en el área y a su vez permita crear un ambiente colaborativo en el estudio del cómputo paralelo. Proporcionamos resultados experimentales y enseñamos a utilizar las librerías de pulpo con un ejemplo.

Acidic and catalytic properties of bimetallic catalysts based on ZSM-5 zeolite modified with copper, cobalt and boron in the conversion of straight-run gasoline fraction of gas condensate were studied in a flow-through unit at atmospheric pressure, in the absence of hydrogen in the temperature range 350-4300C. It has been established that the introduction of modifiers (Cu, Co, B) into the zeolite leads to a sig-nificant decrease in the strength and concentration of acid sites. An increase in the copper concen-tration in the zeolite to 3.0 wt.% leads to a decrease in the concentration of strong acid sites from 542 to 332 mmol/g. The introduction of 2% Cu/HZSM-5 into the catalyst composition of the second modifier Co in an amount of up to 1.5 wt.% reduces the concentration of strong acid sites to 242 mmol/g. With the additional modification of the bimetallic catalyst 1.0% Co 2% Cu/HZSM-5 with boron in an amount of 0.5-1.5 wt.%, the concentration of strong acid sites further decreases to 112-198 mmol/g. On unmodified zeolite HZSM-5, which has strong acid sites, cracking and aromatization of hydro-carbons mainly take place. Isomerization of n-paraffin hydrocarbons that make up the gas conden-sate is not significant. As a result of the modification of HZSM-5 with copper in the amount of 1.0-3.0 wt. %.There is a significant increase in the catalyzate content of high-octane components: iso-paraffinic and aromatic hydrocarbons. Modification of the catalyst with 2% Cu/HZSM-5 Co in an amount of 0.5-1.0 wt.% increases its isomerizing activity, and additional modification with boron (0.5-1.5 wt.%) leads to an increase in the yield of liquid products. The relationship between the acid-ic and catalytic properties of modified catalysts has been established. The effect of increasing the isomerizing and aromatizing activity of the modified catalysts is associated with the nature, concen-tration of the modifier, and the ratio of weak and strong acid sites. The isomerizing and aromatizing activity of the catalyst is controlled by the nature and concentration of the modifier. The bimetallic catalyst 1.0% Co 2.0 Cu% 1.0% B/HZSМ-5 exhibits the highest activity in upgrading straight-run gasoline fraction of gas condensate, which makes it possible to obtain a gasoline component with an octane number of 86.5 according to IM at 3800C and a yield of 77.8 wt.%.

Поняття “гібридна війна (гібридні військові дії)”: походження та складність
Authors: Лобода Ю. О.
Published: March 2021

У статті проаналізовано генезис, семантичні зміщення та сучасну роль терміну “гібридна війна (гібридні військові дії)” у когнітивній сфері. Основною метою статті є визначення можливих причин та наслідків імовірної семантичної надмірності терміну “гібридна війна (гібридні військові дії)”. В результаті проведеного аналізу було встановлено, як вживання терміну “гібридна війна (гібридні військові дії)” діє на користь поширення “туману війни”: він замінює загальновизнану концепцію конвенційної війни та спрямовує увагу суспільства до семантичної нечіткості, що неявно призводить до ігнорування основних рис звичайного збройного конфлікту. Це створює когнітивне упередження, яке здається є досі належним чином непроаналізованим і незрозумілим.

Civil servants have rights to get some facilities among them is the use the state assets. State assets that can be used by civil servants are state houses and state vehicles. The use of the state facilities have some requirement, like position on the organization. However, there are some binding conditions between the state and civil servants who use state assets in the form of rights and obligations in the use of the state assets. The purpose of this research is to analyze the relationship between these rules to form a complete understanding about the use of state assets as civil servant facilities by statute approach of normative research. The results of this research show that there is provision in the rules of the use of state assets about costs inccured in use of state assets like maintenance costs, operational costs, and tax costs. There are overlapping regulations that make the implementation of the management of state assets ineffective, such as the terminology of state house permission that is not recognized in PUPR minister regulation.

Pegawai Negeri Sipil berhak memperoleh fasilitas salah satu diantaranya adalah penggunaan Barang Milik Negara. Barang Milik Negara yang dapat digunakan oleh Pegawai Negeri Sipil yaitu rumah negara dan kendaraan bermotor milik negara dengan syarat tertentu. Namun terdapat juga syarat yang mengikat antara negara dan Pegawai Negeri Sipil yang menggunakan aset negara berupa hak dan kewajiban dalam penggunaan aset negara tersebut. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk meneliti keterkaitan peraturan-peraturan tersebut untuk membentuk sebuah pemahaman yang utuh mengenai penggunaan Barang Milik Negara sebagai fasilitas bagi Pegawai Negeri Sipil melalui pendekatan perundang-undangan dengan menggunakan metode penelitian normatif. Hasil penelitian ini menunjukkan bahwa dalam peraturan perundang-undangan mengenai penggunaan Barang Milik Negara terdapat pengaturan mengenai biaya-biaya yang timbul dalam penggunaannya yaitu biaya pemeliharaan, biaya operasional, dan biaya pajak atas Barang Milik Negara. Adanya tumpang tindih peraturan yang membuat pelaksanaan pengelolaan barang milik negara menjadi tidak efektif antara lain adanya terminologi izin pemakaian rumah negara yang tidak terdapat dalam Peraturan Menteri PUPR.
A Simplified Pursuit-evasion Game with Reinforcement Learning
Authors: Paczolay Gabor , Harmati Istvan
Published: March 2021

In this paper we visit the problem of pursuit and evasion and specifically, the collision avoidance during the problem. Two distinct tasks are visited: the first is a scenario when the agents can communicate with each other online, meanwhile in the second scenario they have to only rely on the state information and the knowledge about other agents' actions. We propose a method combining the already existing Minimax-Q and Nash-Q algorithms to provide a solution that can better take the enemy as well as friendly agents' actions into consideration. This combination is a simple weighting of the two algorithms with the Minimax-Q algorithm being based on a linear programming problem.

Authors: Khan Mohammad Rabiul Karim , Begum Most Nurunnahar , Islam Sharmin , Islam Abu Faisal Md Ariful , Ahmed Rafiq Uddin , Khan Mohammad Hedayet Ali
Published: March 2021

Introduction: Pilonidal sinus is a commonly encountered problem with multiple surgical options. With Z- plasty, primary closure ensues faster healing while the alteration of local anatomy reduces recurrence. The extremely low recurrence rate following Z-plasty for pilonidal sinus results from the fact that the operation was planned with the true physiology of the disease in mind. It is the deep natal cleft which predisposes to pilonidal sinuses and this architecture is altered with multiple Z -plasty.

Materials and methods: A prospective, observational study was conducted into department of Plastic Surgery and burn, Dhaka Medical College and Hospital. Here 18 patients with pilonidal sinus were treated by Z – plasty between 2013 to 2018.

Result: There was only one recurrence during the follow up time. There were no necrosis of flaps and no wound dehiscence.

Conclusion: The Z-plasty technique is an effective procedure for treating pilonidal sinus in terms of both faster healing and lower recurrence rate.

Published: March 2021

A cerveja é uma das bebidas mais consumidas em todo o mundo e para sua produção são necessários como ingredientes, o malte, a água, lúpulo, leveduras e adjuntos, sendo o malte o principal ingrediente e aquele que define a qualidade e sabor da bebida. Todavia, o malte se dá pelos processos de maceração, germinação e secagem. O grão mais utilizado pelas indústrias é a cevada, mas neste trabalho usou-se como matéria-prima o trigo, pois é o cereal de maior produção no mundo. Dois tipos de maltes podem ser obtidos no processo de secagem, o malte Pilsen e o malte especial. Dessa forma, este trabalho teve como objetivo produzir maltes de trigo especiais e torrados em escala piloto e produzir cervejas a partir dos mesmos. Foram produzidos três tipos de malte, os quais foram analisados quanto à sua composição centésima, teste de germinação e teor de sólidos solúveis. A cerveja foi caracterizada por meio de análises e através da aceitação sensorial e intenção de compra. As maiores temperaturas e tempo de secagem resultaram em diminuição da umidade, carboidrato e aumento da fibra no malte, diferentes teores de sólidos solúveis no mosto e uma maior coloração e menor pH nas cervejas (p<0,05). Não houve efeito nos demais parâmetros avaliados (p<0,05). Quanto à aceitação sensorial os provadores gostaram de regularmente à não gostaram e nem desgostaram das bebidas. Na intenção de compra as amostras que receberam as maiores médias na análise sensorial se mantiveram como as que provavelmente seriam compradas pelos provadores.

Published: March 2021

O agronegócio se apresenta como um dos setores mais importantes para o desenvolvimento da economia brasileira, promovendo emprego e gerando renda através da produção de alimentos e crescimento do setor agropecuário. A partir disso, torna-se imprescindível a introdução de conceitos teóricos e científicos a respeito do tema/setor, tendo como finalidade ampliar a produtividade e lucratividade. Muito arcabouço conceitual aplicado no cultivo agrícola são adquiridos no ensino fundamental, tornando o papel da escola primordial no desenvolvimento dos alunos e de sua capacidade em interpretar e resolver situações do cotidiano, podendo então tais conteúdos serem trabalhados de forma interdisciplinar. O presente artigo objetivou realizar uma Revisão Bibliográfica Sistemática (RBS) das publicações científicas acerca da modelagem matemática aplicada ao agronegócio para alunos do ensino médio no período compreendido entre 2015 a 2019. As publicações acerca da finalidade presente neste trabalho são de suma importância, visto que os resultados analisados contribuíram significativamente para identificar o estado da arte acerca do assunto. Foi observado que grande parte dos conteúdos relacionaram a aplicação da matemática como ferramenta indispensável na produção agrícola, se configurando como um instrumento cotidiano e usual ao agricultor.

As despesas com energia elétrica em 2015 comprometeram 11,83% do orçamento, o equivalente a R$ 201 758,40 do orçamento do IFMA São João dos Patos que foi da ordem de R$ 2 611 847,51. Fazer o monitoramento eficiente destes custos pode resultar em uma economia significativa no consumo de energia elétrica e na contenção de gastos. O ponto de partida para o desenvolvimento do projeto foi o auto custo das contas de energia elétrica no campus, ocasionado pelo desperdício enérgico, tendo como principal fator o uso inadequado dos aparelhos de ar condicionado, pois verificou-se que estes permanecem ligados desnecessariamente contribuindo para o aumento do consumo elétrico e, consequentemente, a elevação no valor da conta de energia. Não há como saber quais unidades estão em uso ou obter informações com relação à temperatura ambiente. Outro fator que contribui para o agravamento desse problema é a permanência de lâmpadas acesas quando não está acontecendo atividade pedagógica naquele ambiente. Isto ocorre devido ao campus dispor de um único servidor para desempenhar a função de ligar/desligar estes aparelhos. O foco deste trabalho é o desenvolvimento e implantação de uma central de automação de baixo custo, a partir da interação entre uma placa Arduino Uno e um shield ethernet controlada remotamente via internet. Para tanto, foi desenvolvido um aplicativo para dispositivos móveis (celular, tablet) que utilizem o sistema operacional Android para controlar todas as funções dos aparelhos de ar condicionado do IFMA de São João dos Patos. O Aplicativo escolhido para desenvolver o App foi o TouchOSC que utiliza o protocolo TCP/IP para receber e enviar informações entre o Arduino e o dispositivo móvel. Outra razão que levou a escolha desse App foi o fato dele apresenta uma interface gráfica amigável e por não exigir conhecimento em programação JAVA para desenvolver o aplicativo. As mensagens serão enviadas através da comunicação wi-fi permitindo o acionamento dos ar condicionados de qualquer lugar do mundo. Para o desenvolvimento do aplicativo foi utilizado as linguagens Processing e C++.

Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus-2 (SARS-CoV-2) is spreading globally, and its high transmission speed and mortality rate are severely interfering with people’s normal lives and the economy. Governments are now reopening their economies; however, the opening of theaters has been delayed, owing to their (often) crowded audiences and potentially higher infection risk. To determine whether it is safe to reopen theaters, in this study, the transport of contaminants released by an infected person in a theater hall with an overhead air supply system is analyzed numerically. The infection risks are calculated for occupants at various distances from the infected person in different directions and with/without wearing masks based on a revised Wells-Riley model, and under different supply air states and locations of the infected person. The results show that, first, the probabilities of infection in return air with filtration and all-fresh-air operations are decreased by 39.8 and 55.6%, respectively, as compared when the return air is not filtered. Second, the probabilities of infection for audiences sitting nine seats away from the infected person on the right, right-back, and back sides are 84.9–92.3%, 37.3–74.0%, and 36.3–72.0% lower, respectively, than those for audiences sitting one-seat away from the infected person. In addition, sitting in separate rows can reduce the maximum probability by 7.4–68.3%. Third, the probability of infection can be reduced by 93.7% after all the audiences wear masks with efficiencies of 75%. Fourth, the probability of infection can be controlled under a relatively safe range even though the quanta emission rate is 30 or 50 quanta/h, and even with two infected people in unfavorable seats. Thus, theaters can be safely reopened under return air filtration or all fresh air operations, and when audiences are sitting in separate seats and wearing masks.

As one of the most common and lethal cancer, lung cancer severely threatens the health of human. It has been reported that tumor-associated macrophages promote initiation, progression, as well as chemoresistance in human cancers. However, the underneath molecular mechanism that drives chemoresistance in lung cancer is yet not fully characterized. In this article, we demonstrated that M2 macrophage-derived exosomes (MDE) is the key factor to promote cisplatin-resistance in lung cancer. MDE exhibited high expression level of several miRNA including miR-3679-5p. Mechanistically, miR-3679-5p was delivered to lung cancer cells by MDE, downregulating the expression of a known E3 ligase, NEDD4L, which has been identified as a key regulator controlling the stability of c-Myc. Such decreased NEDD4L expression level resulted in the stabilization of c-Myc and elevated glycolysis. The enhanced glycolysis drives the chemoresistance in lung cancer. Taken together, our findings not only show that M2 macrophage induce chemoresistance in lung cancer through MDE mediated miR-3679-5R/NEDD4L/c-Myc signaling cascade, but also shed the light on the mechanism of the cross-talk between M2 macrophage and lung cancers. By pinpointing a potential novel survival signaling pathway, our data could provide a new potential therapeutic target for lung cancer treatment and management.

Objectives: We report the first use of a biorestorative valved conduit (Xeltis pulmonary valve–XPV) in children. Based on early follow-up data the valve design was modified; we report on the comparative performance of the two designs at 12 months post-implantation.

Methods: Twelve children (six male) median age 5 (2 to 12) years and weight 17 (10 to 43) kg, had implantation of the first XPV valve design (XPV-1, group 1; 16 mm (n = 5), and 18 mm (n = 7). All had had previous surgery. Based on XPV performance at 12 months, the leaflet design was modified and an additional six children (five male) with complex malformations, median age 5 (3 to 9) years, and weight 21 (14 to 29) kg underwent implantation of the new XPV (XPV-2, group 2; 18 mm in all). For both subgroups, the 12 month clinical and echocardiographic outcomes were compared.

Results: All patients in both groups have completed 12 months of follow-up. All are in NYHA functional class I. Seventeen of the 18 conduits have shown no evidence of progressive stenosis, dilation or aneurysm formation. Residual gradients of >40 mm Hg were observed in three patients in group 1 due to kinking of the conduit (n = 1), and peripheral stenosis of the branch pulmonary arteries (n = 2). In group 2, one patient developed rapidly progressive stenosis of the proximal conduit anastomosis, requiring conduit replacement. Five patients in group 1 developed severe pulmonary valve regurgitation (PI) due to prolapse of valve leaflet. In contrast, only one patient in group 2 developed more than mild PI at 12 months, which was not related to leaflet prolapse.

Conclusions: The XPV, a biorestorative valved conduit, demonstrated promising early clinical outcomes in humans with 17 of 18 patients being free of reintervention at 1 year. Early onset PI seen in the XPV-1 version seems to have been corrected in the XPV-2, which has led to the approval of an FDA clinical trial.

Social Innovation in Education and Social Service Organizations. Challenges, Actors, and Approaches to Foster Social Innovation
Authors: Schröer Andreas
Published: March 2021

Social innovation became a widely discussed topic in politics, research funding programs, and business development. Recent European and US economic and science policies have set aside significant funds to generate and foster social innovation. In view of current challenges such as digitization, Work 4.0, inclusion or migrant integration, the question of how organizations can be empowered to develop new and innovative approaches and service models to social challenges is becoming increasingly urgent. This especially applies to organizations in the fields of education and social services. In education, implementing new ideas and concepts is usually discussed as educational reform, which mostly addresses changes in policy agendas with consequences for national and international education systems. The concept of social innovation however has a different starting point: the source of new ideas and services are identified new, emergent needs in society or re-conceptualized. Such need-based perspectives might bring new impulses to the field of education. Therefore, this paper identifies important existing strands of social innovation research, which need to be considered in the emerging academic discourse on social innovation in education. Looking at social innovation through an education research lens reveals the close relation between learning, creativity, and innovation. Individuals, teams, and even organizations learn, engage in creative problem solving to create new and innovative products and services. From an organizational education perspective, the questions arise, how social innovation emerges and even more important, how the process of developing social innovation can be supported. After a brief introduction in the concept of social innovation, the paper discusses therefore the sites, where social innovation emerges, social innovators, approaches to foster social innovation as well as promoting and hindering factors for social innovation.
