Today, learning is not just an action that is transmitted by presenting and describing the evidence and information from one person to another, but, on the contrary, giving each student the opportunity to build their own, based on our practical knowledge and experience of understanding the world. The more experience the students have, the more motivation they have for change and development. Philosophy is the foundation of the bases and principles of human existence, a system of developed teachings on the semantic characteristics of human relations to nature, society, and spiritual life, a special form of cognition of the world and the philosophy of its teaching, striving through rational means to build a generalized picture of the world and determine the role of man in it. The article offers an individualized educational experience for students mastering the educational program in the direction of «Philosophy» and students studying in other educational programs, options for training sessions in accordance with the curriculum, and tested contextual factors. These practices have helped to simplify individual learning processes and make the subject more attractive when conducting the discipline «philosophy» for non-philosophy students. And most importantly, this experience serves a deep purpose -instilling wisdom and goodness, truth and honesty, popularization of our national values through mastering philosophy by students. In addition, it helps to develop students’ sense of the importance of life, the incessant pursuit of success, inexhaustible mastery of life lessons, such as the need not to be afraid to make mistakes, striving for innovation.

The article considers the social and political aspects of the Soviet state policy towards the Muslims of Kazakhstan in the 20- the 30s of the XX century. Documentary materials from the archives of the Republic of Kazakhstan represent the source study base of the research. Based on the analysis of archival sources, the transformation of state-Muslim relations is shown as the Soviet power strengthened: from a tolerant attitude towards Islam in the first years of the victory of the Bolsheviks to the complete secularization of the rights and freedoms of Muslims in the following decades. The author gives a characteristic of the forms and methods of the anti-religious struggle of the Soviet state, substantiates the thesis about its harmful influence on the spiritual life of Muslims that, under conditions of the most severe administrative pressure and total restriction, took the form of a semi-legal existence. The policy of the Soviet state in relation to Islam was built considering the political situation in the country. The loyalty of politics in the early years of Soviet power to a certain extent contributed to the temporary revival of the religious movement. It was due to the desire of the latter to receive political support from a huge number of Muslims of the former Russian Empire, including Kazakhstan. At the same time, loyalty did not exclude the conduct of anti-religious propaganda aimed at limiting Islam. As the Soviet power strengthened, the anti-Islamic doctrine became tougher, acquiring the character of an uncompromising struggle aimed at closing the objects of a religious cult and spiritual education, limiting, and then eliminating the Muslim clergy, etching the religious worldview from the minds of the masses, and imposing communist ideology. The declared “class struggle against the enemies of socialism,” which included the Muslim clergy, became the political underpinnings of the tightening of confessional policy. Public organizations made their contribution to whipping up the atmosphere of intolerance towards religion, to the destruction of the spiritual foundations of society: the Union of Militant Atheists of Kazakhstan, Anti-religious, the Union «Koshchi».

Published: April 2022

In the modern development of independent Kazakhstan, despite the global economic crisis, the pandemic, and other difficulties, scientists pay special attention to the problem of differentiation of the pages of our history that have not yet been opened and thoroughly studied. And particular importance among them is attached to famine in Kazakhstan in the 1920s and 1930s and the history of Alash Orda. In connection with the new requirements for the social sciences and increased access to previously closed archival documents, historians make a significant contribution to the elimination of «white spots» in the history of Kazakhstan. In recent years, as a result of activities of the creative community of the Republic of Kazakhstan, the names of many social, political and cultural figures, unreasonably punished during the period of Stalin’s cult of personality, have been returned. The leaders of the national movement in the early 20th century were the leaders of Alash Odra, who defended justice, equality, and national statehood in the Kazakh steppe. The main goals of the Alash movement were the following: preservation of the Kazakh nation, ensuring its integrity, preventing its division into classes and groups; the revival of the Kazakh statehood; return of the seized lands of the Kazakh peasantry; establishment of complete equality of all the nations living in the territory of Kazakhstan; creation of a national military detachment, etc Complete and realistic reconstruction of the past history is one of the main tasks of historical sciences today, including the history of national movements of the late 19th and early 20th centuries that occupies a significant place. This relates, first of all, to the Alash movement in Kazakhstan. In this article, the authors describe West Alash, which was Alash Orda’s part, and Zhahansha Dosmukhamedov, who was one of its leaders, and his hard work on the way to realizing all these goals.

Shared Authority and Epistemological Struggles: Tales of Three Racial Groups of Professors
Authors: Choi Jung-ah
Published: April 2022

Sharing teacher authority with students is a common pillar of these progressive pedagogies. This paper takes up the issue of authority in establishing credibility in knowledge claims by examining the dynamics of class discussions over race relations. Using pedagogy of positionality (Maher & Tetreault, 2001), the study pays attention to how authority is exercised and challenged in negotiating differences among participants. The primary data for this study draws from in-depth interviews with seven college professors who teach Racial and Ethnic Relations in a predominantly white institution. The findings of this study suggest that knowledge claims and meaning-making is mediated by relationships among members. That is, authority comes not from professors’ personal (racial) experience, nor from professors’ disciplinary (professional) expertise, but from a mutual construction based on trust, compassion, and empathy between the teacher and students. In order to establish a truly inclusive classroom in race discussions, it is crucially important for professors to care about multiple positionings that students occupy, beyond the student-self and racial self.
A New Way to Facilitate Discourse with School Leaders: Use a Video-Based Simulation
Authors: DeJong David , Curtin Susan , Robinson Derrick , Cook Jared
Published: April 2022

This study used a video-based educational leadership simulation to create a safe environment for professional discourse with school leaders. The researchers used a simulation about teacher-to-teacher bullying with actors of different genders as a prompt. Two simulations were used in this study, and both simulations followed the same script. However, the twist in this study is that one simulation was filmed with only male actors, and the other simulation was filmed with female actresses and male actors. Participants from both simulations were brought together after experiencing one of the two simulations. This study utilized a sequential explanatory mixed methods approach and post-simulation focus groups revealed three themes: some school leaders would treat females differently than males, some school leaders believed the leadership style was a factor, and some believed that gender was less of a factor than the unique teacher-principal relationship. The first conclusion of this study is that the relationship between the principal and the teacher is critical to how the principal responds to a scenario. The second conclusion is that facilitating simulations is an effective method to model a safe environment for discourse centered on sensitive topics.

Authors: Holcomb T. Scott
Published: April 2022

Flipped classrooms have received more attention in recent years, primarily with a focus on their wide application in higher education settings. This article focuses on reviewing research on flipped classrooms as a potential contributor to educational reform in PK-12 settings. Review of research showed emergent themes within benefits found in classrooms across multiple levels and in many subject areas. Some of the primary benefits of flipped classrooms include student differentiation and improved engagement levels. As with any aspect of technology usage in schools and students’ homes, there are challenges to address. Ensuring that teachers and students are prepared to participate in this learning environment is a concern with increased participation in flipped classrooms. Evidence shows researchers need to study widely used flipped classroom platforms to uncover patterns of success and best practices in teaching and learning through flipped classrooms.
Refugee Parents’ Perspectives on Preschool Enrollment after Migration and Resettlement
Authors: Ingle W. Kyle , Stovall Kathy
Published: April 2022

Using phenomenography, the researchers explored the perspectives of resettled refugee parents and why they chose to enroll their children in a large urban school district’s preschools. All of the participants were driven by intense desires to have a brighter future for themselves and for their children in their new country. All saw education as privilege and an opportunity to ensure more promising futures for their children—an opportunity that should not be left on the table. All the participants expressed an appreciation for the opportunities afforded them in the U.S. and hopes for a peaceful future. The participants’ backgrounds and migration experiences varied, but consistent across them were hardships and challenges. These influenced their decision to enroll children in an urban public preschool program in the hopes of increasing the likelihood of success for their children. Participants relied heavily on the support of refugee agencies. The researchers identified a need for local school districts to collaborate with resettlement agencies in developing a concrete plan for addressing the unique needs of refugee parents and children. This may include parent mentoring and using refugees to mentor/assist more recently arrived refugees in navigating the educational bureaucracies in their new country and school district.

A Streetcar Named Desire is a famous representative play by Tennessee Williams, an American drama master. He often discusses the separation between the individual and the modern society, and madness is his eternal theme. The heroine Blanche in A Streetcar Named Desire came from a family in the south of the United States. Due to the cruel reality of life her ID was severely repressed. She refused to acknowledge the shadow, stubbornly adhere to the mask personality, and eventually ended into madness. This paper chooses psychoanalysis as the research perspective, adopts Jungian psychology theory to interpret desire, and concludes that Blanche will get a new starting point and enlightenment after the outbreak of neurosis, which is contrary to the traditional theory.
Influences and Implications of Affective Neuroscience in Children's Learning and Education
Authors: Chen Xiaotong
Published: April 2022

Recent research of affective neuroscience has shown that human emotion derives from neural network and system. How individuals feel, express and moderate emotions are grounded by affective neuroscience. However, the influences of affective neuroscience and emotions are usually neglected by educators in children education. Based on the brain as a platform, emotion is tightly associated with attention, motivation and cognition, influencing children's learning process. Emotion involves in the process of evaluating, reasoning and analyzing, which means different emotions used in learning may result in different performance. Thus, educators should focus more on the function of emotion in children education. Besides, "emotional thinking" can help educators understand that emotional and cognitive factors are interwoven, which interplay on learning. Therefore, affective neuroscience helps teachers and parents better understand the way in children's learning and cognitive process.

Authors: Gupta Karishma , Omil-Lima Danly , Chen Lin , Muncey Wade , Lengu Irma , Scarberry Kyle
Published: April 2022

Introduction and Objective Micropapillary urothelial carcinoma (MPUC) is a rare and aggressive histologic variant of bladder cancer. Treatment guidelines recommend forgoing Bacillus Calmette-Guérin (BCG) therapy in favor of early radical cystectomy for non-muscle invasive (NMI)-MPUC due to high rates of disease progression. We aimed to evaluate its management in patients with immediate cystectomy and BCG across various centers.
Methods Patients with MPUC were identified from the National Cancer Database (2004-2017). Treatment trends and rates of pathological upstaging were identified. Bivariate and multivariate analyses were performed to assess differences in outcomes by treatment approach.
Results 1,685 patients were diagnosed with MPUC during the study period with 531 identified with localized Ta, T1, or Tis disease. BCG was administered as an initial therapy in 24.1% of NMI-MPBC patients and in 16.3% of NMI-non-MPUC patients (p<0.001). Cystectomy was performed as primary therapy for NMI disease in 29.9% of MPUC and in 2.7% of non-MPUC patients (p<0.001). Of the patients who underwent primary cystectomy, upstaging from NMI-MPUC to T2-T4 disease was seen in 46.5% of the MPUC patients compared to 37.3% in patients with non-MPUC (p=0.025). Upstaging to pathologic N1-3 disease was observed in 33.1% of MPUC patients compared to 11.9% non-MPUC patients (p<0.001). Cox regression analysis, adjusting for patient age, sex, race, comorbidities, and disease stage, care at academic cancer centers were associated with increased odds of having cystectomy as primary therapy compared to community cancer centers (OR = 4.29, 95% CI 2.73-6.76).
Conclusion The current study lends evidence to current practice guidelines by reporting treatment patterns for patients with micropapillary bladder cancer across a broad spectrum of clinical practice. NMI-MPUC patients treated at academic cancer centers were more likely to receive radical surgery as primary treatment compared to patients at the community cancer centers.
The Use of Lasers (Ablative Laser, Non-ablative Laser, Fractional Laser, Photobiomodulation (PBM)) in Skin Regeneration
Authors: Khamees Entidhar Jasim , Jawad Nawras Najah , AZEEZ HALAH MOHAMMED
Published: April 2022

Lasers have been used in a variety of industries, but we will concentrate on their use in medicine, specifically dermatology. I concentrated on three types of lasers in this article (ablation, non-ablative lasers, and fractional lasers). The non-ablative laser causes skin contraction as a result of wound stimulation of collagen during the healing phase in the dermis, upper dermis, and thermal ablation. Laser ablation is more dangerous because it heats up the dermis. A fractional laser affects the inner dermis layer, which contains collagen, rather than the epidermis, which stimulates this vital component. An ablative fractional laser, on the other hand, peels off the skin's outer layer. According to research, these three lasers produce unfavorable outcomes. Therefore, PBM technology was used without thermal interactions and effects on the skin, increasing patient satisfaction with rejuvenation. This is what we concluded through the search engines Scopus, Google Scholar, and the EndNote application.
Sagomare l’inesistente: La notte ha la mia voce di Alessandra Sarchi tra immagini e sparizioni
Authors: Marchisotti Camilla
Published: April 2022

Questo lavoro si propone di analizzare il ruolo della dimensione visuale all’interno del recente romanzo La notte ha la mia voce di Alessandra Sarchi (2017). Ci si concentrerà, nello specifico, su una video-intervista del famoso tennista McEnroe, messa in confronto da Sarchi con una fotografia della protagonista da giovane; su svariate fotografie di ballerini e di loro particolari anatomici, e in particolare su una fotografia di Nureyev e un suo allievo; su un cartellone pubblicitario raffigurante Kate Moss che indossa un paio di jeans; su un disegno di Carol Rama. Questi variegati elementi visuali menzionati e descritti nel romanzo risultano essenziali per comprendere il senso profondo del testo. Vista anche la formazione artistica dell’autrice, un’analisi visuale riesce a dare conto, più di altre, delle dinamiche di funzionamento interne al romanzo, facendo luce sulle sue tematiche ricorrenti. Oltre alla loro evidente funzione narrativa, lo statuto e la valenza delle immagini in Sarchi si caratterizzano per un approccio complesso, sempre in bilico tra iconofilia e iconoclastia, capace di attivare i molteplici campi di significato e bacini di senso presenti nel testo – dall’elaborazione di un trauma personale a una critica collettiva del sistema capitalista, dalla funzione terapeutica della scrittura alle questioni femministe contemporanee.
Omero e Ossian nei Primi Canti di Leopardi
Authors: Bianco Francesca
Published: April 2022

Il saggio riconsidera l’intero contesto dei primi Canti leopardiani in rapporto alle due maggiori esperienze di traduzione di Cesarotti: le Poesie di Ossian e l’Iliade. Variamente collegata al concetto di epica antica, benché intesa in modo diverso dal punto di vista sia antropologico sia geografico, la ricezione delle due opere si pone al centro di un nodo interpretativo ed estetico particolarmente centrale nei primi anni dell’Ottocento, un nodo che dà vita a un dibattito al quale partecipa anche il giovane poeta di Recanati. Il suo intervento trova riscontri importanti sia nelle riflessioni affidate ad alcune opere teorico-filosofiche sia attraverso una rete di reminiscenze che punteggiano i versi dei primi Canti. Soprattutto in quest’ultimo caso, Leopardi mostra di attingere all’immaginario dell’epos grazie al filtro della nuova langue creata dall’abate padovano, punto di partenza anche per altre celebri traduzioni iliadiche dell’epoca, che in questo studio sono messe a confronto.

Araştırma bulgularına göre öğrencilerin üniversiteye yönelik kalite imajı ve sosyal ortam imajı algılarının artması okul terki eğilimlerinin azalmasını sağlamaktadır. Ayrıca sosyal ortam, genel görünüm-altyapı ve kalite imaj algılarının artışı yabancılaşma düzeylerini azaltırken; program imajının artması yabancılaşmanın da artmasına neden olmaktadır. Öğrencilerin yabancılaşma düzeyleri arttıkça okul terki eğilimleri de artmaktadır. Ayrıca, öğrencilerin yabancılaşma düzeyleri kalite, program, genel görünüm ve altyapı imaj algıları ile okul terki eğilimleri arasında aracı etkiye sahiptir.
What Is Money?
Authors: Kolganov Andrey I.
Published: April 2022

The purpose of the article is to study the economic nature of money. The author notes that in a number of the most common monetary theories, the question of the nature of money is not even raised. The author shows that a number of modern theories of money are related to the nominalist theory, as well as to the concept of the credit nature of money. However, the nature of money in these concepts either does not receive a clear definition, or is based on an erroneous interpretation of facts. The author begins the answer to the question about the nature of money by analyzing the relations of commodity production underlying the origin of money. The author is based on the priority of the reproductive approach and believes that subjective psychological assessments of the usefulness of goods are not the basis of the proportions of exchange. Money is considered as a separate objective being of the objective property of value inherent in goods. Since capital in the modern economy is mainly in the form of fictitious capital, it is its turnover that acts as the basis for a credit issue that ensures monetary circulation. The regulated nature of credit relations marks the undermining of the properties of money as a product of the spontaneous movement of commodity production.
Reducing the Road Construction Anthropogenic Impact by Using Ash and Slag from Thermal Power Plans: Economist’s View
Authors: Osokin Nikita A. , Zolotova Irina Yu. , Nikitushkina Yuliia V.
Published: April 2022

Industrial waste involvement in road construction projects is one of the most prospective areas for waste management industry development in Russia. The introduction and scaling up of this practice will simultaneously reduce the costs of both road construction and waste storage. In the article, the authors attempted to evaluate the economic potential of using industrial by-products (using the example of ash and slag waste) in the road construction industry as an embankment of a roadbed. As the result, it was revealed that the economic potential for utilizing ash and slag waste as a road embankment can be up to 7,9 million tons annually. At the same time, it will be economically feasible to involve ash and slag waste in road construction only if the ash dump is located at a distance of no more than 130–150 kilometer from the construction site. The study also discovers that depending on the ash dump and open pits with traditional resources location, the effect in reducing the building highways costs across the country can range from 104,70 million to 30 359,48 million rubles. The authors concluded that to reduce the anthropogenic impact of the road construction industry, the government should form a mechanism stimulating the use of industrial waste keeping technological capabilities and economic feasibility of the process. Based on foreign experience, the authors proposed to use the effective disposal radius mechanism, which preserves the principle of economic feasibility of using ash and slag waste in the road construction projects.
A mixed reality telemedicine system for collaborative ultrasound diagnostics and ultrasound-guided interventions
Authors: Maas Stefan , Kopacsi Peter , Kovacs Peter , Bosteels Arnaud
Published: April 2022

In acute care settings (emergency room [ER], intensive care unit [ICU], operating room [OR]), it is common for inexperienced physicians to have problems making an ultrasound (US) diagnosis, so they have to consult an expert. In this article, we would like to present a methodology by which geographically independent expert physicians can engage during an US examination through virtual and augmented reality. The expert can view the set-up and the US images obtained by the examiner and discuss the clinical case over video chat. In turn, s/he can advise on the proper positioning of the US transducer on the patient with the help of a virtual US transducer. This technology can be used to obtain experts’ opinion from a remote location, whether it is inside a hospital or many miles away. Similarly, it can be used for distant training; whatever the indication, it will lead to improved care. We discuss two different use cases inside an ER: US for a Focused Assessment with Sonography in Trauma (FAST) examination and US for the insertion of a central venous catheter (CVC). Currently, we position this technology to Technology Readiness Level 2, as the concept is formulated and the practical application is identified. The basic properties of algorithms are defined and the basic principles are coded. We performed experiments with parts of the technology in an artificial environment. We asked a doctor, Arnaud Bosteels, to review this method and create this article together.

Understanding the Value of Comprehensive Material, Performance Models and Real Failure Modes in Modern Rigid Pavement Designs
Authors: Covarrubias Juan Pablo , Del Rio Pelayo , Mu Feng , Sullivan Sherry
Published: April 2022

Rigid pavements traditionally have been designed using either empirical or mechanistic-empirical methodologies. Historically, common design methods included AASHTO (1993 and 2008) and the PCA Method (now known as Street Pave or Pavement Designer). These design methods were calibrated using a relatively limited number of pavements with slab dimensions of 12ft (3.5m) wide and 15ft (4.5m) long, different traffic levels, local climate conditions and materials and construction practices from the era of the testing. In addition to these methods, modern methods including bonded and unbonded concrete overlays and slabs with optimized geometry are becoming increasingly common. While historical methods might provide appropriate designs for certain geometries (slabs sizes), applications and locations like those to which they were calibrated, the appropriateness of their application should be in question (e.g., AASHTO 93’s limit of testing to a certain amount of ESALs and climatic conditions). Mechanistic performance methods allow the incorporation of new materials and conditions, but understanding the mechanistic principle that the method is trying to extrapolate and the resulting failure mode of this new condition is an important consideration. This paper contrasts historical and modern rigid pavement design methods and their results, with an emphasis on illustrating when historical designs might yield unconservative and possibly dangerous or incorrect designs because of their lack of consideration of comprehensive performance models.
Exploring Siri’s Content Diversity Using a Crowdsourced Audit
Authors: Glaesener Tim
Published: April 2022

This study aims to describe the content diversity of Siri’s search results in the polarized context of US politics. To do so, a crowdsourced audit was conducted. A diverse sample of 170 US-based Siri users between the ages of 18-64 performed five identical queries about politically controversial issues. The data were analyzed using the concept of algorithmic bias. The results suggest that Siri’s search algorithm produces a long tail distribution of search results: Forty-two percent of the participants received the six most frequent answers, while 22% of the users received unique answers. These statistics indicate that Siri’s search algorithm causes moderate concentration and low fragmentation. The age and, surprisingly, the political orientation of users, do not seem to be driving either concentration or fragmentation. However, the users' gender and location appear to cause low concentration.
The Tide Raising all Boats? Social Class Differences in Political Participation among Young People in Scotland
Authors: Huebner Christine , Eichhorn Jan
Published: April 2022

Social class differences in political participation are a pressing issue for democracies and they are particularly severe among young people in the UK. Disadvantaged young people are the least likely to be politically engaged in the UK and it is assumed that with declining levels of participation inequalities in political participation increase. What happens to political inequality though when levels of youth participation increase? Do more advantaged young people account for most of the extra participation or do disadvantaged young people ‘catch up’?

Based on representative survey data, this paper investigates levels of political inequality among 16- and 17-year-olds in a context of increasing participation in Scotland. We find that in Scotland young people of all social classes were equally likely to be politically engaged, while among young people in the rest of the UK and adults from Scotland those of higher social status were more likely to be engaged in politics. Overall, social class differences in political engagement were less pronounced amongst 16- and 17-year-olds in Scotland than in the rest of the UK. The paper offers some possible explanations of this finding and suggestions for further research.
Transforming Mental Science and Psychopathology Through Application of Unified Physical Law
Authors: Stamu-O'Brien Caroline , Jean-Claude Joseph
Published: April 2022

This article introduces recent research in application of Psychophysics to the disciplines of Psychiatry, Psychology and Neuroscience in the field of Mental Science. This application necessitates a broadening of the usual subject matter of Psychophysics, which traditionally covers the capturing and measuring of sensory stimuli at the periphery of the nervous system and their further reverberation within, into the development of mathematical-physics constructs to frame the entire Architecture of the Human Mental, along with its dynamic processes and disorders. This research has been recently divulgated in the monograph: Functional Architecture of the Human Mental - A Reference Psychophysics Treatise of Human Mentation and its Disorders. (24) In this paper, we also undertake an extensive and conclusive discussion of the Mind-Brain dualism, an all-time unsolved subject in Neuroscience, from both a biological and mathematical physics standpoint.
A NSFD Discretization of Two-Dimensional Singularly Perturbed Semilinear Convection-Diffusion Problems

Published: April 2022

Despite the availability of an abundant literature on singularly perturbed problems, interest toward non-linear problems has been limited. In particular, parameter-uniform methods for singularly perturbed semilinear problems are quasi-non-existent. In this article, we study a two-dimensional semilinear singularly perturbed convection-diffusion problems. Our approach requires linearization of the continuous semilinear problem using the quasilinearization technique. We then discretize the resulting linear problems in the framework of non-standard finite difference methods. A rigorous convergence analysis is conducted showing that the proposed method is first-order parameter-uniform convergent. Finally, two test examples are used to validate the theoretical findings.
Bio-Inspired Salinity-Gradient Power Generation With UiO-66-NH2 Metal-Organic Framework Based Composite Membrane

Published: April 2022

Salinity-gradient directed osmotic energy between seawater and river water has been widely considered as a promising clean and renewable energy source, as there are numerous river estuaries on our planet. In the past few decades, reverse electrodialysis (RED) technique based on cation-selective membranes has been used as the key strategy to convert osmotic energy into electricity. From this aspect, developing high-efficiency anion-selective membranes will also have great potential for capturing osmotic energy, however, remains systematically unexplored. In nature, electric eels can produce electricity from ionic gradients by using their “sub-nanoscale” protein ion channels to transport ions selectively. Inspired by this, here we developed a UiO-66-NH2 metal-organic framework (MOF) based anion-selective composite membrane with sub-nanochannels, and achieved high-performance salinity-gradient power generation by mixing artificial seawater (0.5 M NaCl) and river water (0.01 M NaCl). The UiO-66-NH2 metal-organic framework based composite membranes can be easily and economically fabricated with dense structure and long-term working stability in saline, and its performance of power generation can also be adjusted by pH to enhance the surface charge density of the MOF sub-nanochannels. This study will inspire the exploitation of MOFs for investigating the sub-nanochannel directed high-performance salinity-gradient energy harvesting systems based on anion-selective ion transport.
Retinoic Acid is Required for Normal Morphogenetic Movements During Gastrulation

Published: April 2022

Retinoic acid (RA) is a central regulatory signal that controls numerous developmental processes in vertebrate embryos. Although activation of Hox expression is considered one of the earliest functions of RA signaling in the embryo, there is evidence that embryos are poised to initiate RA signaling just before gastrulation begins, and manipulations of the RA pathway have been reported to show gastrulation defects. However, which aspects of gastrulation are affected have not been explored in detail. We previously showed that partial inhibition of RA biosynthesis causes a delay in the rostral migration of some of the earliest involuting cells, the leading edge mesendoderm (LEM) and the prechordal mesoderm (PCM). Here we identify several detrimental gastrulation defects resulting from inhibiting RA biosynthesis by three different treatments. RA reduction causes a delay in the progression through gastrulation as well as the rostral migration of the goosecoid-positive PCM cells. RA inhibition also hampered the elongation of explanted dorsal marginal zones, the compaction of the blastocoel, and the length of Brachet’s cleft, all of which indicate an effect on LEM/PCM migration. The cellular mechanisms underlying this deficit were shown to include a reduced deposition of fibronectin along Brachet’s cleft, the substrate for their migration, as well as impaired separation of the blastocoel roof and involuting mesoderm, which is important for the formation of Brachet’s cleft and successful LEM/PCM migration. We further show reduced non-canonical Wnt signaling activity and altered expression of genes in the Ephrin and PDGF signaling pathways, both of which are required for the rostral migration of the LEM/PCM, following RA reduction. Together, these experiments demonstrate that RA signaling performs a very early function critical for the progression of gastrulation morphogenetic movements.
