Desarrollo prosocial: crianza y escuela
Authors:   Universitat de València, Mestre Vicenta
Published: October 2023

Las conductas prosociales se definen como acciones que prioritariamente están orientadas a beneficiar a otras personas (Eisenberg, Fabes, & Spinrad, 2006). Compartir y dar recursos a los demás, confortar emocionalmente a otros, realizar actividades benéficas y ayudar ante las necesidades de otras personas son formas típicas de conductas prosociales y la mayoría de los padres en el mundo desean que sus hijos las realicen. De acuerdo con las teorías sobre la socialización (Bandura, 1986; Hoffman, 2002), los padres desempeñan un importante rol en la promoción y fomento de las conductas prosociales en sus hijos, niños y adolescentes. Estudiar las relaciones entre crianza y variables individuales (por ejemplo razonamiento moral prosocial, empatía, autocontrol) podría impulsar considerablemente nuestra comprensión del desarrollo prosocial (Carlo, Mestre, Samper, Tur, & Armenta, 2010a; Tur-Porcar, Mestre, Samper, & Malonda, 2012; Wahl & Metzner, 2012). La conducta prosocial y las variables cognitivas y emocionales relacionadas con dicha conducta facilitan la interacción y adaptación social. Recientes investigaciones sobre victimización en la escuela se han centrado en los procesos cognitivos y emocionales, tales como los mecanismos de control y reguladores de la conducta agresiva y la victimización entre iguales (Anderson & Hunter, 2012). Las estrategias para dirigir y solucionar los problemas, la empatía, las habilidades sociales, la inteligencia emocional y el autocontrol en la interacción con los iguales se consideran fortalezas o debilidades para una buena adaptación social y relaciones sociales adecuadas con los compañeros (Petrides, Frederickson, & Furnham, 2004). Investigaciones anteriores encontraron una relación negativa entre bullying y empatía, especialmente con su componente cognitivo (toma de perspectiva, capacidad para ponerse en el lugar del otro), comprender las emociones de otros parece inhibir la expresión de la conducta antisocial (Gini, Albiero, Benelli, & Altoé, 2007). La empatía puede también desempeñar una función importante en las experiencias de victimización porque una orientación empática hacia los demás proporciona calidad en las relaciones sociales y puede promover el ajuste social (Malti, Perren, & Buchmann, 2010; Kokkinos & Kipritsi, 2012).
Nuevas perspectivas en investigación sobre la conducta prosocial: la Identificación del receptor de la ayuda y la motivación del agente de la conducta prosocial
Authors:   Centro Interdisciplinario de Investigaciones en Psicología Matemática y Experimental, Mesurado Belén
Published: October 2023

Este trabajo analiza el artículo de investigación titulado “Desarrollo prosocial: crianza y escuela”, publicado por María Vicenta Mestre (2014) en la Revista Mexicana de Investigación en Psicología. El artículo de Mestre tuvo por objetivo estudiar en una amplia muestra de adolescentes españoles el poder predictivo en el desarrollo de la prosocialidad de variables familiares, personales y escolares. El presente artículo propone de cara al desarrollo de nuevas investigaciones que éstas deberían (1) incluir el análisis diferenciado del receptor de la ayuda —como puede ser la conducta prosocial hacia los extraños, los amigos o la familia—, así como (2) tener en cuenta el motivo por el cual el agente de la conducta prosocial realiza la tarea colaborativa; dado que estos aspectos podrían enriquecer los resultados hallados por la autora.
The gendered nature of Muslim and Christian stereotypes in the United States
Authors: Erentzen Caroline , Bergstrom Veronica N. Z. , Zeng Norman , Chasteen Alison L.
Published: October 2023

Despite the increasing diversity of religious affiliations in the United States, little research has explored the nature and structure of religious stereotypes of Muslims in America. The present research explores the gendered dimensions of stereotypes of both Muslims and Christians, using a multimethod approach. In Study 1, participants engaged in visual representations of intersectional and superordinate identities using Venn diagrams and slider tasks. Study 2 elicited open trait listings for religious, gender, and intersectional groups, with the most common traits reported for each group. In a conceptual replication, Study 3 asked participants to rate each group for the applicability of the most common traits identified in Study 2. Across the three studies, we found clear and consistent support for intersectionality effects. Unique stereotypic traits were identified for each intersectional group that were not present in either religious or gender superordinate identity. Stereotypes of Christians as a superordinate group contained a balanced representation of Christian men and Christian women traits. In contrast, Muslim stereotypes were strongly influenced by androcentric assumptions, with approximately 80% of the traits ascribed to Muslims overlapping with those of Muslim men. In addition, Muslim women were rated as significantly different from both Muslims and Muslim men on all trait evaluations. This was not observed with Christians, who showed little differentiation by gender. This research provides a rare systematic analysis of the gendered nature of religious stereotypes of Christians and Muslims and contributes to the developing literature on intersectionality and prototypicality.

 
Contextualising nationalism
Authors: Triandafyllidou Anna
Published: October 2023

This paper seeks to relate the scholarly analysis of nationalism – and of the ways in which nation-states relate to minorities and migrants – with the actual socio-political context within which such analysis takes place. Looking back into the theories of nationalism as they have developed since World War II, the focus of nationalism theorists has shifted from the effort to explain why nations emerged and when they emerged, looking at the wider processes of industrialisation and print capitalism; to the effort to analyse nationalism from the ground up through the lived experiences of citizens; to, more recently, the effort to explain why and how nationalism persists and whether and how it evolves in more plural or more exclusionary ways. I am arguing in this paper that it is important to adopt a self-reflexive approach so as not only to link our understanding of nations and nationalism in their contemporary socio-economic and political context, but that we also need to adopt such self-reflexivity in relation to our own work and ask: why do we focus on a particular perspective or evolution? How does this relate to our wider context and positionality as scholars? In this paper, I am proposing a periodisation of nationalism studies from the post-WW II period to this day, arguing that the focus of nationalism theories was guided interactively by the wider socio-economic developments of each period. I conclude with a critical reflection on nationalism in a (post-)pandemic world.
Handbook of migration and globalisation
Authors: Triandafyllidou Anna
Published: October 2023

This Handbook explores the multifaceted linkages between two of the most important socioeconomic phenomena of our time: globalisation and migration. Both are on the rise, increasing in size and scope worldwide, and this Handbook offers the necessary background knowledge and tools to understand how population flows shape, and are shaped by, economic and cultural globalisation. Through central themes which correspond to the four domains of human life – politics, economics (separated into trade and development, and the global division of labour), culture and family life – expert authors from five continents highlight the interdependence between migration and globalisation, and explore the mutual impact of economic, social and political globalisation on international population flows. They also investigate how migrants themselves become agents of the globalisation process. With accessible language that guides the reader easily through complex issues, this Handbook makes an ideal resource for undergraduate and graduate students, researchers and academics interested in migration, ethnicity, development, international relations and international economics.
Drivers of Highly Skilled Mobility from Southern Europe: Escaping the crisis and emancipating oneself
Authors: Bartolini Laura , Gropas Ruby , Triandafyllidou Anna
Published: October 2023

Since the outbreak of the crisis in Southern Europe, young highly educated Italians, Spaniards, Portuguese and Greeks have been taking their talents and expertise to other countries in search of a better quality of life and career prospects. This paper explores the characteristics of these new emigrants, the reasons for which they are leaving, and whether these reasons are shaped by the economic crisis, by pre-crisis grievances, or by other factors. We analyse original data from 6377 questionnaires collected in 4 countries through an e-survey we ran in 2013. We refer to the existing literature on the drivers of highly skilled emigration and the (un)employment situation in the four aforementioned Southern European countries which have been hardest hit by the economic crisis. We suggest that while gender is not important, age, marital status, education and satisfaction with current employment (both income related and with regard to future prospects) are important factors predicting emigration. Non-economic factors, notably career opportunities, quality of life and future prospects supersede all other considerations in the decision to emigrate for these highly educated Europeans.
EU cultural diplomacy : challenges and opportunities
Authors: Triandafyllidou Anna , Szucs Tamás
Published: October 2023

An organic development of international cultural relations is fundamental to engage all the concerned stakeholders - national governments, civil society and international organisations - into a constructive dialogue based on equality and mutual respect and to overcome the socio economic and power inequalities between the different countries and actors involved in traditional cultural diplomacy. The new EU approach offers strategic opportunities for large and small Member States alike, as it allows them, in different ways, to actively co-create a diverse set of international cultural activities. In order to make the nascent strategy for EU international culural relations a success, it is fundamental to move beyond the crisis narrative by proactively engaging with the media, to achieve a multiplier effect and increase the impact of cultural projects and initiatives. New digital technologies are key to facilitate start up projects, specifically tailored to youth, and to reinforce the people-to-people approach. Co-creation and co-ownership with stakeholders (at local and national level) are of paramount importance to increase efficiency and sustainability of projects, but may present important value challenges. Systematic monitoring to judge which kind of projects work best, and coordination at all levels are essential to make the EU strategy a success. The European Public Spaces project represents a source of inspiration to develop cultural programmes in third countries. During the next Multi Annual Framework negotiations funding for culture needs to be further prioritised as such funding has been on the rise among Europe’s global competitors in the race for soft and smart power.
Sending so much more than money : exploring social remittances and transnational mobility
Authors: Isaakyan Irina , Triandafyllidou Anna
Published: October 2023

Based on 324 in-depth interviews with Indian, Moroccan, Ukrainian, Bosnian and Filipino migrants based in four EU countries (Austria, Italy, Spain and the UK), our paper explores the relationship between social remittances and transnational mobility. We develop a new typology of social remittances as based on the principle of mobility. We argue that the degree to which transnational mobility is present in social remittances depends on the agency of the sender and on the nature of the receiving community. We further elaborate on such mobility-related concepts as “transnational re-scaling” (in reference to directionality of social remittances) and “translocal celebrity” (in reference to sender’s role in cultural production). Based on a large qualitative dataset, this study also contributes to a better understanding of the relationship between the local and the global.
Migrants and the media in the twenty-first century : obstacles and opportunities for the media to reflect diversity and promote integration
Authors: Triandafyllidou Anna
Published: October 2023

This themed issue of Journalism Practice addresses the role of the media and their capacity to reflect diversity and promote migrant integration. Migrant integration here is understood both in its loose term – when the media promote a positive view of migration or at least a fair view, including migrant voices in their sources, as well as how this might facilitate the integration process – and in its strict term concerning the inclusion of migrants as professionals in the media sector and the specific diversity policies that different media sectors and media outlets adopt in their recruitment, employment and training schemes.  
Migrants and media newsmaking practices
Authors: Gemi Eda , Ulasiuk Iryna , Triandafyllidou Anna
Published: October 2023

European societies are becoming increasingly multicultural and ethnically diverse as a result of immigration. This change, however, is not properly reflected in the European mass media, neither in the portrayal nor in the representation of immigrants in the mainstream media. The aim of this paper is to analyse the newsmaking routines of mainstream newspapers and TV channels in six European countries (Greece, Ireland, Italy, the Netherlands, Poland and the United Kingdom) with a view to showing which factors mostly influence these routines. We analyse the impact of three factors on the making of migration-related news: (1) the news value of such news; (2) the role of newsmaking routines and in particular who selects what is published and why; and (3) the availability of alternative sources and the journalists' trust of different types of news sources. Our study shows that while migrant media follow the general rule that something negative has a higher news value, they are also bound up with additional challenges—notably that media do not cover migration as a topic regularly, that media outlets have a given “line” of coverage concerning migration and this contributes to shaping what kind of news are reported. Third, journalists are not always well networked with migrant sources to have access to them. While the rule of thumb “you have to talk to people who are directly involved” holds, not all journalists devote the necessary energy and time to present a balanced coverage of migration-related issues.

Authors: Arumi Sihindun , Marmoah Sri , Nurhasanah Farida , Wicaksana Muhlis Fajar
Published: October 2023

This qualitative research found the type of Instagram greeting and the factors that influence the selection of greetings using data from greeting words in Instagram users' captions from accounts that appeared randomly on the researcher's home page. The methods used are observation, documentation, and content analysis, with researchers using a print screen or munch screen features on computers or mobile phones to document data. The study has identified around 106 greetings in 9 different types, with the greeting to mention loyal customers having the highest number and the kinship greeting being the second. Many bussiness, health, parenting, and daily activities accounts choose kinship greetings to foster closeness or familiarity with their potential targets. This study shows that Instagram is a potential social media to influence customer decisions with information about their business. While there are still opportunities for more specific research, this study contributes to understanding the variety of greetings on Instagram in general.
Daylight Performance of Elbow Geometry in Light Pipe Models
Authors: Atalay Fatmanur , Kurtay Cüneyt
Published: October 2023

Light pipes are innovative daylight lighting systems often used linearly which transmit light through reflections on carrying surfaces. However, in order for the system to be used in more complex buildings, it should be possible to integrate one or more elbows into the system if needed with the purpose of deliberately change the direction of light transmission. In this study, attention is drawn to the assumption that the light carried in the elbowed light pipes is related to the design of the elbow geometry as well as variables such as pipe length, diameter (aspect ratio), reflectance and transmittance values of the components, sky conditions, solar angles, latitude-longitude data, elbow angle, etc. The purpose of the study is to investigate the daylight performance of elbowed light pipe system and different elbow geometries. In this respect, the models used in scientific studies and commercial products were compared and new elbow models were proposed. Daylight levels (lux) and Daylight Factor (DF) achieved through a numerical simulation software based on a correct method and well-established algorithm were evaluated as performance measures. Whether the light levels reached as a result of the analyses alone are sufficient to illuminate the space varies depending on the dimensions, function and duration of use of the space.

Ankara’da Bir Haremeyn Toprağı: Balıkhisarı Haremeyn Vakfı
Authors: ÇELİK Murat , TUĞRUL Mehmet
Published: October 2023

Mekke ve Medine Müslümanlar için kutsal şehirlerdir. Çünkü Mekke’de Kâbe ve Medine’de Hz. Peygamber’in kabr-i şerifi bulunmakta ve bu şehirlerde İslam Peygamberi ve onun ashabının hatıraları yaşamaktadır. Bu nedenle İslam devletleri bu iki şehrin idâme, iâşe ve imârı için gelirlerinden önemli bir kısmı buralara tahsis etmiştir. Öyle ki bu bir gelenek haline gelmiş ve zamanla bu amaçla vakıflar kurulmuştur. Osmanlı’da bu vakıflara Haremeyn Vakıfları denmiştir. Başta Osmanlı hanedan üyeleri ve devlet ricâli olmak üzere Osmanlı tebaası tarafından da Haremeyn için vakıflar kurulmuştur. Bu vakıflardan elde edilen gelirler ise Surre Alayları denilen kervanlarla Mekke ve Medine şehirlerine takdim edilmiştir. Osmanlı ülkesinin muhtelif şehirlerinin gelirlerinin Haremeyn Vakıflarına dahil edildiği bilinmektedir. Bunlardan biri de günümüzde Ankara’nın Akyurt ilçesine bağlı Balıkhisarı’nın gelirleridir. İlk olarak II. Murad Ankara’nın Çubukabad Kazâsı’na bağlı Balıkhisarı Karyesi’nde yaptırmış olduğu köprünün ve buraya bağlı köylerin gelirlerini Haremeyn’e vakfetmiştir. Bu çalışmada bugün de halen Balıkhisarı olarak anılan bölgenin Osmanlı döneminde Haremeyn vakıflarına olan katkıları muhtelif arşiv belgelerinin incelenmesi neticesinde analize tabi tutulacaktır.
Tarım ve Hayvancılık Sektöründe Çalışan Afgan Göçmenlerde Ekonomik Konumlanma ve Entegrasyon: Trakya Bölgesi Örneği

Published: October 2023

Son yıllarda Afganistan’dan Türkiye’ye yönelik gerçekleşen göç hareketlerinde yaşanan hızlı artış ve medyanın gündeminde fazlaca yer alması, Afgan göçüne yönelik akademik ilgiyi de arttırmaya başlamıştır. Ancak halen Afgan göçünün arka planını ve göçmenlerin Türkiye’deki yaşam ve çalışma koşulları ile entegrasyon eğilimlerini anlamaya dönük derinlikli çalışmalara olan ihtiyaç sürmektedir. Bu çalışma, Trakya bölgesinde (Edirne, Tekirdağ, Kırklareli) tarım ve hayvancılık sektöründe görünürlük kazanan Afgan göçmenlerin çalışma dinamiklerini ve ekonomik entegrasyon eğilimlerini incelemeyi amaç edinmektedir. Bu amaçla gerçekleştirilen araştırmada, yöntembilimsel olarak nitel araştırma deseni kullanılmıştır. 18 Afgan göçmenle gerçekleştirilen derinlemesine görüşmelerden elde veriler, Trakya bölgesinin sektörel düzeyde geçmiş çalışma deneyimlerine benzer iş olanakları sağladığı için Afgan göçmenler tarafından öncelikli olarak tercih edildiğini, çalışma koşulları ve işverenlerce sunulan olanaklar açısından negatif beklenti boşluğunun oluşmadığını göstermektedir. Bu koşullar, entegrasyon eğilimlerinin olumlu seyretmesini sağlasa da düzensiz göçmenlik statüsünün yarattığı belirsizlik ve temel hizmetlere erişim kısıtı, uzun vadede entegrasyon süreci açısından risk oluşturmaktadır.
Ensuring the competitiveness of regional enterprises on an innovative basis
Authors: Klius Y.I. , Syvochka V.V.
Published: October 2023

National and regional innovation systems are being formed in Ukraine. In the era of global transformations, innovations become the main factor in increasing the efficiency of industrial enterprises of the region in order to ensure its competitiveness. The solution to this problem requires a comprehensive analysis and rethinking of existing approaches, the creation of theoretical foundations for ensuring the effective development of industrial enterprises in the region. The activity of corporate structures in creating new innovations and effective communications for their transfer becomes a factor of economic development, increasing the competitiveness of the region. The cost of modern products is determined not only by the costs of material production, but also by research and development works, which, in turn, can be an innovative component of the development of industrial enterprises. The use of innovations makes it possible to increase not only the efficiency of individual components of the corporate structure, but also, if proper attention is paid to integration processes, of the entire corporate management system. This determines the increased interest of society, in particular scientists and practitioners, in the ways of effective formation of the corporate innovation management system of an industrial enterprise.

The following tools can be used to stimulate the modernization of industry in order to ensure the competitiveness of the region on the basis of innovations: the formation of the sales market for competitive products and services using mechanisms that regulate the purchase of domestic science-intensive products for state needs; stimulation of investments in the modernization of industry based on innovations by improving the mechanisms of partial financing of large innovative projects by the state and private business; motivation of enterprises to adopt innovations on the basis of incentives for domestic enterprises to purchase modern technologies created by Ukrainian developers; stimulation of industrial reform processes; creation of corporate structures that unite the spheres of production and scientific and technical activity. Among them are state centers of science and high technologies.

Further development of the country's national innovation system should be aimed, first of all, at ensuring the system integration of all its elements and their effective interaction.

Elevated temperature linked to signs associated with sea star wasting disease in a keystone European species, Asterias rubens

Sea star wasting disease (SSWD) refers to a suite of gross signs affecting Asteroidea species. These include epidermal lesions, everted viscera, arm autotomy, and ultimately, full body disintegration leading to mortality. The common sea star Asterias rubens is a keystone species in the coastal Northeast Atlantic and may be susceptible to the disease. While the precise aetiology of SSWD remains poorly understood, environmental instability, including rising sea temperatures, has been linked to SSWD outbreaks. To investigate this connection, an experiment was conducted to quantify disease sign expression in A. rubens under elevated temperature. We exposed sea stars to either elevated temperature (18°C) or a control treatment (12°C) for a 14 d period. We quantified the presence of disease signs associated with SSWD, the progression of signs, and survival of individuals. Elevated temperature induced a greater number of signs consistent with SSWD and also resulted in mortality for some of those animals. Furthermore, larger individuals were more likely to show increased signs of disease. Our results provide evidence that signs associated with SSWD increase with elevated temperature.
The Crisis of Artificial Intelligence: A New Digital Humanities Curriculum for Human-Centred AI
Authors: Chun Jon , Elkins Katherine
Published: October 2023

This article outlines what a successful artificial intelligence digital humanities (AI DH) curriculum entails and why it is so critical now. Artificial intelligence is rapidly reshaping our world and is poised to exacerbate long-standing crises including (1) the crisis of higher education and the humanities, (2) the lack of diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) in computer science and technology fields and (3) the wider social and economic crises facilitated by new technologies. We outline a number of ways in which an AI DH curriculum offers concrete and impactful responses to these many crises. AI DH yields meaningful new avenues of research for the humanities and the humanistic social sciences, and offers new ways that higher education can better prepare students for the world into which they graduate. DEI metrics show how an AI DH curriculum can engage students traditionally underserved by conventional STEM courses. Finally, AI DH educates all students for civic engagement in order to address both the social and economic impacts of emerging AI technologies. This article provides an overview of an AI DH curriculum, the motivating theory behind design decisions, and a detailed look into two sample courses.

Salah satu strategi yang diambil pemerintah dalam bersaing pada era transformasi adalah melalui citra atau reputasi yang dibangun dengan baik bagi publik melalui brand yang dimiliki sesuai tren yang saat ini berkembang yakni employee branding. Fenomena employee branding belum banyak diterapkan pada organisasi pemerintahan, sebagian besar baru pada organisasi profit. Diskominfo Kota Kupang berhasil meningkatkan citra pegawai melalui brand aplikasi SIMPEG ADEM yang dikelola secara mandiri. Penghargaan yang diberikan BKN Awards menunjukkan kemampuan pegawai untuk mewujudkan tujuan organisasi. Tujuan dari penelitian ini adalah membantu untuk menganalisis deskripsi proses employee branding yang diadopsikan pada aplikasi SIMPEG ADEM yang dikembangkan oleh Diskominfo Kota Kupang. Konsep ini dijabarkan oleh empat dimensi yakni bentuk komunikasi, persepsi pegawai, intepretasi aplikasi, dan konsekuensi proses. Desain deskriptif dengan metode kualitatif digunakan untuk bisa menganalisis data penelitian dari hasil wawancara, observasi dan dokumen yang relevan dengan konsep. Kebenaran atas hasil penelitian diuji melalui triangulasi data. Gambaran employee branding pada aplikasi SIMPEG ADEM menunjukkan: 1) komunikasi yang dibangun secara rutin dan baik dalam pelaksanaan tugas; 2) persepsi pegawai terbentuk melalui kegiatan-kegiatan yang diselenggarakan; 3) kemudahan dalam pengaksesan secara mandiri; dan 4) keberhasilan memperoleh penghargaan meski survei belum dilaksanakan. Proses yang telah dijalankan membantu peneliti menemukan bahwa organisasi pemerintah daerah juga dapat menerapkannya dengan mengadopsikannya pada teknologi aplikasi yang dikelola pemerintah.

This paper proposes novel compliant mechanisms for constructing hand prostheses based on soft robotics. Two models of prosthetic hands are developed in this work. Three mechanical evaluations are performed to determine the suitability of the two designs for carrying out activities of daily living (ADLs). The first test measures the grip force that the prosthesis can generate on objects. The second determines the energy required and dissipated from the prosthesis to operate. The third test identifies the maximum traction force that the prosthesis can support. The tests showed that the PrHand1 prosthesis has a maximum grip force of 23.38 ± 1.5 N, the required energy is 0.76 ± 0.13 J, and the dissipated energy is 0.21 ± 0.17 J. It supports a traction force of 173.31 ± 5.7 N. The PrHand2 prosthesis has a maximum grip force of 36.13 ± 2.3 N, the required energy is 1.28 ± 0.13 J, the dissipated energy is 0.96 ± 0.12 J, and it supports a traction force of 78.48 ± 0 N. In conclusion, the PrHand1 prosthesis has a better performance in terms of energy and tensile force supported. The difference between the energy and traction force results is related to two design features of the PrHand2: fully silicone-coated fingers and a unifying mechanism that requires more force on the tendons to close the prosthesis. The grip force of the PrHand2 prosthesis was more robust than the PrHand1 due to its silicone coating, which allowed for an improved grip.
Methods for cell isolation and analysis of the highly regenerative tunicate Polycarpa mytiligera

Published: October 2023

Background:Polycarpa mytiligera is the only molecularly characterized solitary ascidian capable of regenerating all organs and tissue types. The cellular basis for regeneration in P. mytiligera is largely unknown, and methods for isolating live cells from this species for functional analyses are unavailable.

Results: Here, we developed a method for isolating live cells from P. mytiligera, overcoming major experimental challenges, including the dissociation of its thick body wall and native cellular autofluorescence. We demonstrated the applicability of our approach for tissue dissociation and cell analysis using three flow cytometry platforms, and by using broadly used non-species-specific cell labeling reagents. In addition to live cell isolation, proof-of-concept experiments showed that this approach was compatible with gene expression analysis of RNA extracted from the isolated cells, and with ex vivo analysis of phagocytosis.

Conclusion: We presented efficient methods for cell purification from a highly regenerative ascidian, which could be transferable to diversity of non-model marine organisms. The ability to purify live cells will promote future studies of cell function in P. mytiligera regeneration.
