Published: January 2025

Aborda-se a análise de discursos de ódio e resistência em textos da literatura e de redes sociais, fazendo referência a alguns aspectos desse debate sobre o amplo impulsionamento na internet. O objetivo foi de demonstrar as consequências da disseminação de fatos que muitas vezes não representam legitimidade ou verdade, considerando-se a fluidez da comunicação na rede social Facebook, e que servem apenas para inferiorizar alguns grupos sociais. Adotou-se metodologicamente a revisão bibliográfica, por meio de estudiosos que apresentam conhecimentos sobre a temática, e a pesquisa de campo com base na análise de recortes de textos das redes sociais ou da literatura brasileira, como Gregório de Matos e João Cabral de Melo Neto, direcionando para a análise de conteúdo e do discurso, consoante ao preceituado por Orlandi (1999), Pêcheux (1983) e Bardin (1977). Os resultados alcançados levam à compreensão de que medidas educativas são urgentes, para abordar o que são os direitos individuais e coletivos, como foi construída a liberdade de expressão, que providências tomar em situações de discurso de ódio e estimular os usuários para que as redes sociais sejam lugar de liberdade e diversidade com respeito às diferenças, e principalmente de resistência empatia em lutas pela dignidade humana.

Authors: Zhou Ning
Published: January 2025

In this work, we examine the transformative impact of the 1985 recession on Singapore's economic policies and national development. The present research foregrounds the recession as an event that accelerated a shift in focus from a state listed mixed economy toward that of a basically neoliberal approach having the objective of building economic resilience and competitiveness. Through looking at their effects on GDP growth, income distribution, and employment quality, this paper illustrates their successes while, at the same time, shows ongoing challenges in the form of income inequality. The findings underscore continual policy adaptation as a key to sustain economic growth with social equity for Singapore.

How Populism Replaced Elitism: The Institutional Logic in the Shift of U.S. Trade Policy Under Trump
Authors: Chen Haokun
Published: January 2025

Since the Ratification of RTAA in 1934, U.S. trade policy has trended toward trade liberalization. However, this trend experienced a significant shift following Donald Trump’s election as president in 2016. This paper analyzes the roles of Congress and the President in shaping trade policy, and by introducing Olson’s collective action theory, examines the logic behind U.S. trade policy formation before and after Trump’s election. The study finds that traditionally, pro-trade groups were able to effectively lobby Congress. In contrast, anti-trade groups struggled to organize effectively due to collective action problem. However, the trade policy formation mechanism underwent a fundamental shift during the Trump administration. By frequently invoking legal provisions such as Section 232, the Trump administration was able to bypass Congress and unilaterally implement protectionist policies, shifting the policymaking authority from Congress to the President, and the primary locus for policy formation from congressional lobbying to presidential elections. In presidential elections, anti-trade groups became highly politically active, forming strong collective action that drove the adoption of protectionist policies. This study provides insights into the institutional logic and political processes behind U.S. trade policy during the Trump era, offering insights into how group political participation influences policymaking.
An Analysis of the Application and Development of Corporate Social Responsibility in Chinese Human Resources Management: A Sustainable Development Theory Perspective
Authors: Liu Jieying
Published: January 2025

The relationship between Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) and Human Resources management (HRM) is raising researchers' awareness in business studies. CSR is a social science concept that considers social, economic, and human responsibilities. In China’s automotive industry, the transformation to sustainable management is the most challenging and emerging issue. Based on this social issue, the article discusses sustainable HR practices through the case study of Toyota. Most research relevant to CSR is mainly focusing on the environment-oriented approaches. For this study, human-oriented practices are discussed to fill in the blanks in this region. The impact of CSR on organizations and individuals is equally discussed. The data collected is from some developing countries, so it is worth taking a leaf from China’s situation. However, to date, very few CSR studies have considered such micro-level results, so people lack knowledge about the benefits of CSR to individuals. The results found that talent retention is the biggest strength of CSRHRM. As for the employee perspective, the phenomenon of psychological contract occurred based on the social exchange theory. Afterward, suggestions based on Chinese social backgrounds, such as digital transformation and cultural integration, are provided. This study indicates the relationship and combination of CSR and HRM, which is a meaningful discussion in the HRM region.
EXCEPTIONAL AND STRIKING 3D TRACK-DETACHED UNDERTRACK SPECIMENS FROM THE UPPER JURASSIC OF ASTURIAS (N SPAIN)
Authors: PIÑUELA LAURA , GARCÍA-RAMOS JOSÉ CARLOS , MORENO KAREN , LEONARDI GIUSEPPE , FINSTERBUSCH-LAGOS OSCAR EUGENIO
Published: January 2025

Vertebrate palaeoichnology often aims at the identification of the trackmaker by associating diagnostic features from the known taxa’s skeletal anatomy with its inferred footprint morphology, but deep penetrative tracks and/or deep, detached undertracks (DDU) are providing conflicting morphological/extra-morphological information, bringing into question the initially assumed close anatomical correlation.
Penetrative footprints produced in fluvial-dominated deltaic facies from Upper Jurassic Lastres Formation are very frequent in the coastal cliffs of Asturias (N Spain). Some of them consist of non-avian theropod track casts associated with “ornithopod-like” detached undertracks. Some criteria are suggested to distinguish the latter when such an association does not exist.
Moreover, we describe an exceptional theropod footprint preserved as a sandstone cast along with its respective deep detached sandstone undertrack (DDSU). The specimen records the foot movement through the sediment, entailing striking morphologic changes in outline along four different levels of depth. The uppermost level 1 shows an apparent stegosaur hind track morphology; level 2 resembles an avian-theropod print; level 3 represents the true non-avian theropod pedal morphology of the trackmaker; the lowermost level 4 corresponds to the deep detached sandstone undertrack (DDSU), which could be interpreted as either a track of a graviportal theropod or an ornithopod-like footprint.
In light of this new evidence, it becomes clear that vertebrate ichnotaxonomy should not be based solely on the supposed trackmaker identification. Furthermore, biogeographic and evolutionary studies linked to this core information should be considered unsupported, along with many ichnotaxonomical assignations based on taphonomic processes, such as the case exemplified herein, the Iguanodontipus ichnogenus.

How Should Men be Made?
Authors: Ranger Jamie
Published: January 2025

Paul B. Preciado’s theory of the pharmacopornographic regime provides a radical theoretical analysis of the relationship between gender, technology and capitalism. Firstly, I explicate Preciado’s key concepts and argue that their overarching theoretical project illuminates neoliberal capitalism’s capture and commodification of sexual energies and desire. I contend that contemporary toxic heteronormativity in extreme online communities may be explained as reactionary internalisation/ resistance to this process. I conclude by suggesting Preciado’s theoretical insights gesture toward a progressive and emancipatory pathway for rethinking masculinity.

Therefore, this paper explores the use of mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) in the clinical treatment of Alzheimer's disease based on a literature review, collating current research findings. Despite the promising preclinical outcomes, MSCs also need for further research and challenges related to effectiveness and the mechanism in human need to be further determine.
Experimental Design: Investigating the Role of Autophagy and BDNF in Neuronal Death Under Chronic Stress
Authors: Chen Evelyn Yilin , Chen Yiru , Lin Yuqian
Published: January 2025

Chronic stress impairs adult hippocampal neurogenesis (AHN) by reducing the survival and proliferation of neural stem cells (NSCs) in the dentate gyrus. Central to this process is cortisol, which interacts with the glucocorticoid receptor (GR) and represses Brain-Derived Neurotrophic Factor (BDNF) transcription, leading to NSC death and disrupted AHN. Autophagy, a cellular degradation process, plays a dual role in cell survival and death under chronic stress. This study investigates the interplay between cortisol, BDNF, and autophagy in influencing NSC viability and AHN. Using human iPSC-derived NSCs, we explore whether GR activation reduces BDNF levels, leading to increased autophagy and cell death, or if other pathways are involved. The study also determines whether cortisol impacts BDNF synthesis, its signaling via the TrkB receptor, or both. Our research employs genetic manipulations, cortisol treatments, and assays to quantify autophagy and cell viability under stress. Understanding these mechanisms could provide insights into stress-related neuropsychiatric disorders and inform therapeutic strategies to enhance brain resilience and function under chronic stress.
Alzheimers Disease: Hypotheses and therapies
Authors: Chen Nanyi
Published: January 2025

Alzheimers disease (AD) is the most common neurodegenerative disease characterized by dementia and progressive cognitive decline. Despite decades of research, the fundamental causes of Alzheimers remain unclear and expect to be multifactorial. Among numerous hypotheses, the amyloid cascade hypothesis, suggesting that the accumulation of beta-amyloid (A) peptides triggers a cascade of pathological events, including tau hyperphosphorylation, synaptic dysfunction, and neuronal death, remains the core framework due to recent breakthroughs in its related drugs. At the same time, emerging evidences also promote the attention on other contributing factors such as tau pathology, neuroinflammation, mitochondrial dysfunction, and genetic predispositions, particularly involving APOE-4 and TREM2 variants. In addition, non-AD co-pathologies, such as Lewy body disease, cerebrovascular pathology, and TDP-43 proteinopathy, would further complicate disease progression, especially in elderly patients. This review critically examines and elaborates on most of the current human understanding of the etiology of AD, involves different AD treatment interventions designed based on different understandings, and emphasizes new strategies for personalized and combination therapy aimed at preventing or reversing disease progression.
Can SDH1 in Chinese Medicine target ALK for NSCLC remission?
Authors: Xu Shaoning
Published: January 2025

Purpose: This study aims to investigate whether SDH1, the active ingredient of the Chinese medicine compound Selaginella Doederleinii Hieron, can effectively inhibit anaplastic lymphoma kinase (ALK) activity in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). NSCLC is a significant and challenging disease, which has limited treatment options with widely existing adverse events (AEs). The research will involve both in vitro and in vivo experiments to assess the potential of SDH1 to target and restrain ALK kinase activity, potentially leading to the remission of NSCLC. Methods: Materials for this study included human NSCLC cell lines cultured in specific conditions and various reagents. In vitro, the level of protein is pressured by Western blot, and cell growth is assessed by MTT assay. In vivo, experiments used a xenograft tumor mouse model injected with NSCLC cells and treated with different reagents, with tumor growth and other observations recorded. Possible Results: There are three most possible results: (1)SDH1 can inhibit ALK kinase to control the growth of NSCLC cells; (2) SDH1 cannot target ALK kinase but it can control the growth of NSCLC cells; (3) SDH1 cannot restrain the activity of ALK kinase neither in vitro nor in vivo, thus it cannot kill NSCLC cells. Conclusion: The result of our study investigates the impact of SDH1 on anaplastic lymphoma kinase (ALK) and A549 NSCLC. The findings could reveal the potential of targeting ALK to induce remission in non-small cell lung cancer both in laboratory and animal models, which tends to provide a possible avenue for future clinical and pharmaceutical approaches to combat NSCLC.
Excessive consumption of -solanine poisons the trophoblast via increasing the concentrations of autophagic marker which induces cell autophagy
Authors: Zhou Jiangwei
Published: January 2025

There exists a large amount of toxins in the surrounding environment which have the capacity to damage our body's health. -Solanine, a glycoalkaloid ordinarily extracted from potatoes, possesses potential toxicity to the human body, which may induce cell apoptosis and autophagy. The trophoblast, an embryonic tissue, is crucial in human development. However, how the toxin -solanine impacts the trophoblast still remains unclear. This endangers many pregnant women and the coming generation nowadays. Hence, this study is aimed at exploring the mechanism of trophoblast poisoning triggered by excessive consumption of -solanine via varying the concentrations of two proteins, Beclin-1 and LC3, which exert crucial roles in the cell autophagy signaling pathway, using HTR-8/SVneo cells as the sample. By conducting IHC analysis and autophagy staining assay kit with monodansylcadaverine (MDC), the changed concentrations of Beclin-1, LC3 and autophagosome have a relationship between the increasing concentration and duration of -solanine. Meanwhile, conducting the cell proliferation experiment offers a bidirectional confirmation of the aforementioned results. In conclusion, the mechanism of poisoning is that the excessive consumption of -solanine promotes the synthesis of Beclin-1 and LC3, which directly stimulates the progress of cell autophagy and decreases cell viability. Therefore, these ultimately cause detriment to the trophoblast.
Iron-enriched Bread: Promoting Heme Production in Saccharomyces cerevisiae using HemQ
Authors: Tang Zimo , Zhou Qianqian , Liu Jiayang
Published: January 2025

Several hundred million people around the world are facing iron deficiency problems, which can lead to a range of health problems, such as anemia and weakened immunity. Due to global climate change nowadays, the occurrence of extreme weather, the greenhouse effect, and the lack of nutrients in crops, particularly the lack of iron, have become more and more intense. In the case of limited nutrients in crop food, how to maximize the available iron content in food and absorption of iron by the human body has become an important problem. Considering that hemoglobin is the bodys main conduit for iron absorption, we thought that by improving the synthesis of hemoglobin by yeast, we could allow enhanced iron intake. In the research, we introduced a bacterial hemQ gene into Saccharomyces cerevisiae and localized its expressed protein in mitochondria to enable a new metabolic pathway for promoting heme production.

A produção excessiva de moda tem levado ao aumento do consumo desenfreado e ao descarte inadequado, causando danos ambientais significativos. Este estudo propõe o desenvolvimento de um produto de alfaiataria que busca reduzir esse impacto, combinando abordagens de zero waste e modelagem modular. O artefato resultante pode ser usado como blazer ou transformado em calça, proporcionando versatilidade ao usuário. A metodologia utilizada foi de Design Science Research. Os resultados mostraram a viabilidade de criar produtos de moda transformáveis e atraentes. No entanto, a integração das técnicas de zero resíduos e modelagem modular encontrou desafios, particularmente na dificuldade de implementar a modelagem modular ao aplicar a abordagem de zero resíduos. As implicações práticas incluem o uso de zíperes para facilitar a transformação dos produtos, enquanto as implicações gerenciais destacam a necessidade de aprimorar o encaixe e o processo de produção.
