Cultivating Excellence: Strategies for Effective School Administration and Supervision in Chinese Educational Settings
Authors:   Adamson University, Yi Hou , Dapat Rizal ,   Adamson University
Published: December 2024

This research examined the difficulties educators at Chinese colleges encounter in school management and oversight. The report thoroughly examined teacher demographics, including factors such as age, gender, years of experience, and highest level of education achieved. The research assessed the efficacy of existing administrative approaches in leadership cultivation, instructional leadership, cultural awareness, fostering a favorable school environment, and resource allocation. Although these tactics are usually considered beneficial, some areas need development. These areas include making mentoring more accessible, enhancing curricular cooperation, promoting diversity, improving dispute resolution, and ensuring fair allocation of resources. Employing descriptive-comparative as research design, the survey revealed no substantial disparities in evaluating these approaches across various demographic groups, suggesting a uniform perspective among faculty members. The study identifies many significant problems, such as bureaucratic restraints, restricted possibilities for professional growth, insufficient financing, the burden of juggling research and teaching responsibilities, and a lack of autonomy in curriculum design.
Leaders’ Personality Traits and Teachers’ Organizational Citizenship Behavior: Towards a Leadership Excellence Initiative
Authors:   Adamson University, Yu Wang , Villanueva Lizelle ,   Adamson University
Published: December 2024

This research assessed the impact of leaders' personality traits on teachers' Organizational Citizenship Behavior (OCB). Over the years, OCB has captivated the interest of numerous researchers, leading to extensive studies on the concept, its antecedents, correlations, and outcomes. However, the bulk of empirical research on OCB is rooted in studies conducted in the United States, predominantly with American samples. The core objective was to assess the leaders’ personality traits and the level of organizational citizenship behavior among teachers at Shandong Electronic Vocational and Technical College in China. The intention behind was to gather valuable information to elevate engagement among teachers. The study objectives were achieved using a descriptive-comparative-correlational research design. Random sampling was chosen as the preferred method to systematically select participants from the population. The population under investigation consisted of 380 full-time teachers from Shandong Electronic Vocational and Technical College, distributed across six diverse academic departments within the campus setting. Based on the study findings, the teacher respondents believe their leaders excel in all five personality traits: conscientiousness, agreeableness, neuroticism, openness, and extraversion, benefiting the educational environment with meticulousness, empathy, resilience, creativity, and openness. Teachers demonstrated strong organizational citizenship behavior, showing commitment to helping others, respecting rights, staying informed, motivated, and maintaining a solid work ethic. No significant differences were found in organizational citizenship behavior (OCB) across teachers' demographic profiles, indicating a shared understanding of OCB and a strong collective culture of positive behaviors. The results show a strong positive link between teachers' OCB in terms of generosity, civility, sportsmanship, and conscientiousness, and leaders' traits of conscientiousness, agreeableness, openness, and extraversion, highlighting the role of leadership in fostering a collaborative environment.
Teachers’ Self-Efficacy and Students’ Learning Engagement
Authors:   Adamson University, Ronghui Li , Villanueva Lizelle ,   Adamson University
Published: December 2024

This study assessed teachers' self-efficacy and students’ engagement in Shandong Electronic Vocational and Technical College, Jinan City, Shandong Province, China. Exploring the impact of teachers’ self-efficacy on their engagement, the study employed third year students enrolled in Digital Information and Digital Media courses within Shandong Electronic Vocational and Technical College as respondents. Based on the results of the study, most of the respondents were male and within the age group of 19 -20 years old. It was also concluded that teachers' self-efficacy in terms of instructional strategies, classroom management, and student involvement is evident, as observed by the student respondents. This implies that while teachers are competent in key areas, enhancing student engagement could lead to even better learning outcomes and a more balanced approach to effective teaching. When it comes to the assessment of their profiles, significant age-based differences were revealed in students' assessments of teachers' self-efficacy, highlighting that age influences students' perspectives, while sex and academic major did not. The students exhibit behavioral, emotional, and cognitive engagement, though each area received varying emphasis. This suggests that while students are actively participating in their education, there may be imbalances in how they engage, highlighting the need for targeted efforts to promote a more holistic and balanced approach to student involvement in learning. Significant age- based differences were also found in students' assessments of engagement, with views on cognitive, affective, and behavioral engagement shifting with age. However, no differences were observed based on sex indicating similar opinions across these groups. Overall, the study showed that there was a strong positive correlation between teachers' self-efficacy and student engagement.
Post Hysterectomy Vaginal Cuff Dehiscence and Evisceration: A Growing Challenge for the Gynaecologists
Authors: Ghuman Parampreet Kaur
Published: December 2024

Advances in medical technology and increased human life expectancy have led to a rise in gynaecological surgeries, typically hysterectomy surgeries. In developed or developing countries, 20%-40% of women undergo hysterectomy by the age of 60 years. The number of hysterectomies performed have increased manifold in the past 2-3 decades which in turn has resulted in an escalating number of complications such as infections, venous thromboembolic episodes, genitourinary (GU) and gastrointestinal (GI) tract injury, bleeding, nerve injury, and vaginal cuff dehiscence. Vaginal vault dehiscence is a rare but a typically morbid complication. It affects the woman’s quality of life by imparting negative effects associated with vaginal bleeding or discharge, pain, pressure, and changed bowel habits. Here we discuss a case of a post hysterectomy patient with vaginal vault evisceration, with protrusion of bowel loops through the vagina, requiring immediate surgical management.

On fair compensation and joint and several liability in the squeezeout procedur
Authors:   Vasyl’ Stus Donetsk National University, Vinnytsia, Ukraine, Belianevych Olena
Published: December 2024

Based on the current law enforcement practice of the Supreme Court, the article examines the doctrinal issues of ensuring the right of minority shareholders to fair compensation in the procedure of mandatory sale of shares at the request of a person (persons acting jointly) who owns a dominant controlling stake. The author defines the legal nature of the obligation (duty) to pay compensation for shares based on the results of mandatory sale of shares in the squeeze-out procedure as a monetary obligation arising on the basis of a complex legal fact, the composition of which (actions performed by squeeze-out participants in a certain sequence and order) is determined directly by the Law of Ukraine ‘On Joint Stock Companies’. The author also argues that the failure of the applicant (an authorised person of the owner of the dominant controlling stake or a group of persons acting jointly) to comply with this legal obligation causes damage to the property of minority shareholders is an offence and is covered by the concept of general tort. If the compulsory sale of shares was carried out in the interests of a group of persons acting in concert and holding a dominant controlling interest, the obligation to pay fair compensation for the shares in the squeeze-out procedure should be imposed on the entire economic group, including the ultimate beneficial owner, as all of these persons should be treated as joint and several debtors in an indivisible monetary obligation. Fulfilment of such an obligation by one of the joint and several debtors is a proper fulfilment of the monetary obligation to pay fair compensation for shares and terminates it. The author proves that the provisions of Chapter 83 of the Civil Code of Ukraine on acquisition and retention of property without sufficient legal basis are subsidiarily applied to the tort liabilities arising out of damage caused to shareholders as a result of mandatory sale of shares at a price which does not correspond to their fair value.
Key words: fair compensation, squeeze-out, monetary obligation, tort obligation, conditionality obligation, joint and several liability, removal of corporate veil, protecting the rights of minority shareholders
Policy Oversimplification in the First 100 Days Post-Regional Head Elections
Authors: Purna Zarni Adia
Published: December 2024

The 100-day work period concept is often used to evaluate the initial performance of elected officials, including in Indonesia. While useful as an early indicator, this concept tends to oversimplify the complex policymaking process into campaign promises that must be fulfilled in a short timeframe. This study highlights the phenomenon of oversimplification during this period, where policies often focus on visible short-term outcomes at the expense of sustainability and long-term impact. Using semi-structured interviews, policy document analysis, and data triangulation, the research identifies that policy evaluations during the 100-day period frequently emphasize administrative and statistical achievements without considering deeper social changes. The study recommends a more sustainable approach to policy formulation and evidence-based evaluation involving various stakeholders. The findings suggest that policy success should be measured based on its ability to foster inclusive change, reduce social inequality, and improve community quality of life in the long term. Further research is needed to develop ongoing evaluation mechanisms to assess the impact of policies beyond the 100-day work period.
Thematic Analysis on the Effectiveness and Constraints of the Prisoner Rehabilitation Program at Bulukumba Prison
Authors: Halim Didin
Published: December 2024

Bulukumba Penitentiary (LAPAS) faces significant challenges in prisoner development, such as limited human resources, budget, and facilities, as well as social stigma that hinders prisoner reintegration into society. This study aims to analyze the effectiveness of the prisoner development program, identify key obstacles, and provide strategic recommendations. The study used a descriptive qualitative method with a case study approach, involving 15 purposively selected informants. Data were collected through in-depth interviews, direct observation, and document analysis, and analyzed using the Miles and Huberman model. The findings indicate that the development program has provided significant benefits in improving prisoner work skills, spirituality, and morals. However, limited resources and dependence on external parties are the main obstacles that affect the sustainability of the program. In conclusion, strengthening the internal capacity of prison officers, increasing budget allocation, and more strategic collaboration with external parties are important steps to ensure the effectiveness and sustainability of prisoner development

Published: December 2024

Among the long-acting reversible contraceptives available on the market, the copper IUD is the method that the Ministry of Health recommends for the Unified Health System (SUS) service network. Although it is a highly effective and safe contraception option, including in adolescents and women who have never had children, the IUD is still used on a smaller scale in Brazil. Describe how women receiving care in primary care access the IUD; analyze the main barriers that women face in accessing the IUD. This is a systematic review carried out in the Virtual Health Library Base with a time frame between 2014 and 2024 with the following descriptors: Women's Health, IUD and Primary Health Care, totaling 9 articles included. After the survey, the data was analyzed and processed, which were classified by thematic area, such as: women's access to the IUD in the Unified Health System; barriers to IUD insertion; nurse's role in inserting the IUD. It is observed that there are obstacles that prevent the insertion of the copper IUD among PHC users, such as inadequate eligibility criteria, the lack of a care protocol, lack of training of health professionals and insecurity in the technique.
“OS IMPACTOS DAS POLÍTICAS PÚBLICAS VOLTADAS À COMUNIDADE LGBT NO BULLYING SOFRIDO PELOS ALUNOS NAS ESCOLAS MUNICIPAIS DE SÃO PAULO”
Authors: Guimarães Cidclei Santos
Published: December 2024

Este artigo tem como principal função contribuir nas compreensões das relações entre as políticas públicas atualmente aplicadas pela prefeitura de São Paulo nas escolas municipais, os conceitos pedagógicos e o bullying sofrido pela comunidade LGBT (Lésbicas, Gays, Bissexuais, Transexuais e Transgêneros). Esta reflexão tomou como fonte as atuais políticas públicas existentes na capital paulista, fazendo uma contraposição com as realidades das necessidades da comunidade LGBT e o papel desempenhado pelos profissionais da educação. A intenção deste artigo foi olhar a produção dessas políticas a partir das tensões presentes na interlocução da Pedagogia com demandas sociais por diminuição da desigualdade e construção de direitos sociais advindas do movimento LGBT. Deste modo, evidenciando a desconstrução de concepções naturalizadas, que geram inquietações aos indivíduos pela experiência escolar, bem como os conceitos que integram esta discussão, dos quais, é possível destacar o gênero, a sexualidade e a identidade de gênero. As metodologias aqui utilizadas serão embasadas: na pesquisa bibliográfica, que terá como foco tentar confrontar teorias relacionadas ao papel da pedagogia no processo de construção do homem-social, também será utilizada a pesquisa descritiva com o propósito de mapear alguns dados sobre a violência sofrida pela comunidade LGBT nas escolas e como eles se sentem em relação ao tema e a pesquisa documental, que irá analisar documentos primários (relatórios, leis, jornais, reportagens, etc.) para construir uma argumentação mas ampla de relatos e dados estatísticos. Como resultados e conclusões o artigo mostrou que a as políticas públicas de inclusão da comunidade LGBT nas escolas municipais de São Paulo tem se mostrado quase inexistente o que demonstra ser um desafio complexo, refletindo não apenas as dificuldades estruturais e educacionais, mas também os preconceitos e estigmas profundamente enraizados na sociedade, outro ponto é o despreparo de alguns professores com a temática da diversidade sexual e de gênero. Muito se tem a fazer para que esse abismo seja diminuído e que a comunidade LGBT se sinta mais amparada, menos invisibilizada e violada nos seus direitos.
Your Title Doesn't Make You a Leader: Reframing Leadership for Organizational Success
Authors: Westover Jonathan
Published: December 2024

The article argues that true leadership goes beyond just position or title, and instead derives from personal qualities and behaviors that inspire and empower others. It explores key leadership qualities like honesty, vision, empathy, and people development, and discusses strategies organizations can use to cultivate these qualities throughout the workforce, not just in top executives. By reframing leadership as a developable resource distributed across the organization, rather than concentrated at the top, the article showcases how companies like The Container Store, Google, and Toyota have unleashed innovation, ownership, and resilience even during disruption. The conclusion emphasizes that empowering leadership potential at all levels, through skills development, transparent communication, and collaborative problem-solving, allows organizations to build renewable leadership resources that drive long-term competitive advantage.

Water beetle assemblages in the alpine lakes of Sierra Nevada (Spain)
Authors: Abellán Pedro , Carbonell José Antonio , Pérez-Bonet Sergio , Franco-Fuentes Eduardo
Published: December 2024

Sierra Nevada, the southernmost alpine system in Europe, hosts a complex of ponds and small lakes scattered throughout the highest parts of this massif, many of which are of glacial origin. These lakes are of particular interest, as they are subject to extreme environmental conditions and harbor simplified aquatic macroinvertebrate communities with highly cold-adapted species dominated by water beetles. Here we update the inventory of the aquatic Coleoptera species and their distribution within the system of alpine lakes within Sierra Nevada massif, as well as explore the environmental factors that drive the patterns in water beetle assemblages. We report a total of 22 taxa, which represents a very complete and reliable inventory according to a completeness assessment based on an asymptotic model fitted to a species accumulation curve. Water beetle assemblages were structured along an elevation gradient according to the non-parametric multivariate analysis, while there were not significant differences between beetle composition of open and closed lakes.

A Comprehensive Survey on Mortality and Kidney Failure Risks in Adults with Severe Chronic Kidney Disease
Authors: Abbood, MD, FACP Hayder
Published: December 2024

This large-scale research examines the main modifiable factors of the natural history and treatment of CKD, focusing on hypertension, diabetes, smoking, and the effects of social demographics. Based on 2,000 patients the study outlines how uncontrolled hypertension and diabetes not only progress CKD at an alarming rate but also exponentially raise the chances of suffering severe complications in the future. This study also reveals that smoking potency increases these unfavorable outcome profiles more severely than was assumed in the current nephrology literature. More importantly, the current study demonstrates deep rooted socio-economic differences that hinder access to adequate treatment and exacerbate the disease process calling for intensified health care system targeted intervention. Such differences demonstrate the facts that populations with poor access to physicians remain unable to obtain the proper treatment for their diseases, and that affects their overall health status. The study supports strict control of BP and glucose as the key elements in the secondary prevention of progressive CKD. In this paper, it urges decision-makers in the health sector to do more in developing and advancing policies that would transform screening and the accessibility of needed treatments more efficiently especially but not limited to disadvantaged groups of the population. Included in the medical management of patients, the study favours the inclusion of social determinants of health in public health interventions to counterbalance the effects of SES. It thus seeks to enhance the understanding of clinical implications of patients with CKD, favorably transform patients’ prognosis, and inform community measures bent on enhancing patient care. These conclusions raise many directions for ramifications that could be vital for clinicians, researchers, and policymakers who intend to work against CKD and decrease its cost on society.

I denne artikkelen presenterer vi funnene fra en analyse av introduksjonskapitlet i algebra i seks ulike lærebøker. Introduksjonen til bokstaver som symbol for variable størrelser varierer med hensyn til klassetrinn, mengde og kontekst. Gjennom en induktiv kvalitativ innholdsanalyse karakteriserer vi mangelfulle sider ved kapitlene. Hovedfunnene er at variabelaspektet ikke kommer tydelig frem, og at en i liten grad benytter mulighetene til å bygge videre på tallære. I tillegg inneholder lærebøkene feilaktige formuleringer, illustrasjoner og matematiske resonnement, som legger forholdene til rette for utvikling av misoppfatninger.
Finding Erik and Alva: uncovering students who reason additively when multiplying
Authors: Larsson Kerstin
Published: December 2024

This article presents a study in which grade 5 students’ responses to multiplicative comparison problems, a well-known method for distinguishing additive reasoning from multiplicative, are compared to their reasoning when calculating uncontextualised multiplicative tasks. Despite recognising the multiplicative structure of multiplicative comparison problems a significant proportion of students calculated multiplicative problems additively. Therefore, multiplicative comparison problems are insufficient on their own as indicators of multiplicative reasoning.
Measuring temperature within the didaktic space of preschool
Authors: Helenius Ola , Johansson Maria L. , Lange Troels , Meaney Tamsin , Wernberg Anna
Published: December 2024

The informal character of preschool mathematics, engaged in during children’s play, places complex requirements on preschool teachers. It also leads to challenges in developing appropriate analytical tools for researching teacher work. In this paper a framework, the ”didaktic space”, is described and used to analyse interactions between preschool teachers and children in relationship to mathematical learning situations. An interaction between a preschool teacher and a group of children about how to compare their temperatures is analysed, using this framework. The analysis focuses on how the teacher’s contributions as well as those of the children changed as the role of the mathematics changed. The paper discusses how the didaktic space offers a nuanced understanding of preschool mathematical situations, both to researchers and to teachers.
The Plasticity of Thought in Translation
Authors: Shread Carolyn
Published: December 2024

My first translation of French philosopher Catherine Malabou’s work is “An Eye at the Edge of Discourse” (2007), in which she asks “What is it to see a thought? To see a thought coming?” This question prompted me to ask in turn, “What is it to see a thought coming in translation?” I put this question to readers of translations and, in a self-reflexive move, as a translator of her French thought into English. Engaging a seminar on this topic in which Malabou offered a retrospective account of how plasticity has emerged in her work over more than two decades, I consider its transdisciplinary potential specifically as it manifests in the field of translation, and here in the translation of scholarly thought.

Following this retrospective gaze, I consider a recent article that is still untranslated from the French, Malabou’s “Quand on n’a que le discours: Réflexions sur la forme” (2022a). Drawing on the intersection of thinking and seeing, I refer to three artists—Kader Attia, Sophia Wallace, and Pearl Shread—to explore the valences of visibility and intelligibility, as well as routes of access to thought and knowledge.

I conclude my discussion with brief reflections on my recent Malabou translation Stop Thief! Anarchism and Philosophy (2023), suggesting that the act of translation offers a possible route to autonomy and self-determination in the face of dominating effects of governance.

Published: December 2024

En 2019, dix ans après sa publication originale en espagnol, apparaît le premier livre traduit vers l’anglais de l’activiste, théoricienne, historienne et sociologue bolivienne Silvia Rivera Cusicanqui : Ch’ixinakax utxiwa. On Practices and Discourses of Decolonization (Polity Press). Le contexte de cette traduction est problématique : alors que, dans son texte, Rivera Cusicanqui adresse une forte critique aux théories et théoricien·nes de la décolonisation issu·es des universités nord-américaines, ce sont ces mêmes universités qui la traduisent quelques années plus tard. Cet article propose une analyse de la posture (Meizoz, 2009) de Rivera Cusicanqui qui se développe à partir du concept aymara ch’ixi, une couleur grise constituée d’un noir et d’un blanc qui ne se mélangent pas. L’étude de quelques extraits de Ch’ixinakax utxiwa. On Practices and Discourses of Decolonization servira à démontrer que la posture auctoriale est transformée dans le processus traductif, où certains de ses traits sont effacés ou nuancés, et que ces transformations sont indissociables du contexte de production de la traduction.
Et si on lisait les préfaces ? Regards d’écrivain·es contemporain·es sur la (re)traduction
Authors: Delcour Manon , Hambursin Olivier
Published: December 2024

Cet article se propose d’étudier quelques retraductions publiées par des écrivain·es entre 2008 et 2021, en observant plus précisément le lieu de mise en perspective que constituent leurs préfaces.

Nous analyserons surtout les préfaces accompagnant les nouvelles traductions de Mrs Dalloway de Virginia Woolf par Nathalie Azoulai (2021), de Bartleby, the Scrivener d’Herman Melville et La Maison maudite de Phillips Howard Lovecraft par François Bon (2015 et 2017), des Métamorphoses d’Ovide par Marie Cosnay (2020), de Tristes pontiques d’Ovide et d’Un lieu à soi de Virginia Woolf par Marie Darrieussecq (2008 et 2016) ainsi que de Des souris et des hommes de John Steinbeck par Agnès Desarthe (2022).

Nous passerons en revue les fonctions généralement dévolues aux préfaces depuis la publication de Seuils de Gérard Genette, en particulier aux préfaces accompagnant des traductions (Letawe, 2018; Hersant, 2018). Le premier objectif de cet article sera, en considérant la préface comme le lieu d’un discours sur le texte traduit et le travail accompli, de mettre en évidence plusieurs questionnements et prises de position relatifs aux procédés, difficultés et enjeux inhérents à la traduction et, le cas échéant, la retraduction. Nous entendons ensuite décrire la posture adoptée par les écrivain·es de notre corpus dans leurs (re)traductions. Dans le troisième pan de notre étude, nous étudierons la manière dont ces auteur·ices se positionnent vis-à-vis de l’exercice particulier qu’est la retraduction, ce qui nous donnera l’occasion de nous pencher sur les intentions présidant à ces retraductions et sur la problématique du vieillissement des traductions.
Diamesic, Interlingual, and Intercultural Translation in Oodgeroo Noonuccal’s Stradbroke Dreamtime (1972)
Authors: Zanoletti Margherita
Published: December 2024

At the peak of her fame as a poet and political activist, the Australian author Oodgeroo Noonuccal (1920-1994, until 1988 known as Kath Walker) published her first complete work of prose, Stradbroke Dreamtime (1972). An important autobiographical narrative written in accessible English, the book comprises 27 stories for children that present two aspects of Oodgeroo’s life: episodes from her childhood on Minjerribah (North Stradbroke Island) and stories from Stradbroke Island and the Tamborine Mountains, as well as stories based on the author’s knowledge of her people and the land. This study adopts a semiotic-translation approach based on an expanded conceptualization of translation that goes beyond the literary sphere and the verbal realm. It argues that Oodgeroo’s writing entails three types of translation: the transformation of oral knowledge into written narrative (diamesic translation); the resemiotization of stories and legends from Aboriginal Australian languages and dialects into English (interlingual translation); and the transmission of her own life experience and culture to children and teenagers of all descent (intercultural translation). These translation processes enabled Oodgeroo to contextualize her own stories by calling upon the ancient stories of her people. The result is a multilayered literary work of rare complexity, worthy of greater scrutiny and more nuanced readings.
Editorial: Jornada laboral, productividad e inteligencia artificial
Authors: Cortadas Guasch Pau
Published: December 2024

Este dosier de la revista Oikonomics que presentamos aquí aborda dos cuestiones de gran relevancia e interrelacionadas: la reducción de la jornada laboral y el impacto de la inteligencia artificial (IA) en el trabajo. Ambas temáticas presentan múltiples matices y puntos de vista que hacen necesario un debate profundo y muy fundamentado en el marco de esta revista. La reducción de la jornada laboral ha adquirido protagonismo en los últimos años. En el ámbito de la ocupación, se plantea habitualmente que la disminución de horas trabajadas por individuo podría facilitar la incorporación de nuevos trabajadores para cubrir las horas reducidas. Esta medida, según algunos sectores, se perfila como generadora de ocupación.

Primary and secondary neurulation – processes that form the spinal cord – are incompletely understood in humans, largely due to the challenge of accessing neurulation-stage embryos (3–7 weeks post-conception). Here, we describe findings from 108 human embryos, spanning Carnegie stages (CS) 10–18. Primary neurulation is completed at the posterior neuropore with neural plate bending that is similar, but not identical, to the mouse. Secondary neurulation proceeds from CS13 with formation of a single lumen as in mouse, not coalescence of multiple lumens as in chick. There is no evidence of a ‘transition zone’ from primary to secondary neurulation. Secondary neural tube ‘splitting’ occurs in 60% of proximal human tail regions. A somite is formed every 7 hr in human, compared with 2 hr in mice and a 5 hr ‘segmentation clock’ in human organoids. Termination of axial elongation occurs after down-regulation of WNT3A and FGF8 in the CS15 embryonic tailbud, with a ‘burst’ of apoptosis that may remove neuro-mesodermal progenitors. Hence, the main differences between human and mouse/rat spinal neurulation relate to timing. Investigators are now attempting to recapitulate neurulation events in stem cell-derived organoids, and our results provide ‘normative data’ for interpretation of such research findings.
A conserved cell-pole determinant organizes proper polar flagellum formation

The coordination of cell cycle progression and flagellar synthesis is a complex process in motile bacteria. In γ-proteobacteria, the localization of the flagellum to the cell pole is mediated by the SRP-type GTPase FlhF. However, the mechanism of action of FlhF, and its relationship with the cell pole landmark protein HubP remain unclear. In this study, we discovered a novel protein called FipA that is required for normal FlhF activity and function in polar flagellar synthesis. We demonstrated that membrane-localized FipA interacts with FlhF and is required for normal flagellar synthesis in Vibrio parahaemolyticus, Pseudomonas putida, and Shewanella putrefaciens, and it does so independently of the polar localization mediated by HubP. FipA exhibits a dynamic localization pattern and is present at the designated pole before flagellar synthesis begins, suggesting its role in licensing flagellar formation. This discovery provides insight into a new pathway for regulating flagellum synthesis and coordinating cellular organization in bacteria that rely on polar flagellation and FlhF-dependent localization.

While host phenotypic manipulation by parasites is a widespread phenomenon, whether tumors – which can be likened to parasite entities, can also manipulate their hosts is not known. Theory predicts that this should nevertheless be the case, especially when tumors (neoplasms) are transmissible. We explored this hypothesis in a cnidarian
Hydra
model system, in which spontaneous tumors can occur in the lab, and lineages in which such neoplastic cells are vertically transmitted (through host budding) have been maintained for over 15 years. Remarkably, the hydras with long-term transmissible tumors show an unexpected increase in the number of their tentacles, allowing for the possibility that these neoplastic cells can manipulate the host. By experimentally transplanting healthy as well as neoplastic tissues derived from both recent and long-term transmissible tumors, we found that only the long-term transmissible tumors were able to trigger the growth of additional tentacles. Also, supernumerary tentacles, by permitting higher foraging efficiency for the host, were associated with an increased budding rate, thereby favoring the vertical transmission of tumors. To our knowledge, this is the first evidence that, like true parasites, transmissible tumors can evolve strategies to manipulate the phenotype of their host.
Endoscopic Diagnosis of Early Gastric Cancer and High-Risk Gastritis

Many differentiated and undifferentiated gastric cancers are associated with Helicobacter pylori infection. Therefore, as a primary prevention method, the early diagnosis of H. pylori gastritis and eradication of these bacteria can prevent gastric cancer. As a secondary prevention method, the early diagnosis of gastric cancer and endoscopic treatment can also contribute to reducing overall mortality. Gastric mucosal atrophy and intestinal metaplasia are important findings in patients with H. pylori gastritis. The accurate diagnosis of other characteristic findings is also important to comprehensively assess gastric cancer risk. The identification of precancerous lesions and early gastric cancer by evaluating endoscopic gastric cancer risk scores, based on the Kyoto classification of gastritis, is similarly important. Recently, endoscopic image evaluation systems equipped with artificial intelligence have been developed to complement the diagnostic abilities of individual endoscopists and reduce interobserver variability; future developments in this area are highly anticipated.
