Role of Rev‐erbα domains for transactivation of the connexin43 promoter with Sp1
Authors: Negoro Hiromitsu , Okinami Takeshi , Kanematsu Akihiro , Imamura Masaaki , Tabata Yasuhiko , Ogawa Osamu
Published: November 2012

Rev‐erbα, a component of the circadian clock, has also been known as a nuclear receptor that lacks activation function domain 2, functioning as a ligand‐dependent transcriptional repressor. However, we recently reported that Rev‐erbα activates connexin43 transcription by forming a complex with Sp1. Here we show that heme, a REV‐ERB ligand, is dispensable for this novel mechanism and that Rev‐erbβ, having homologies with Rev‐erbα, does not activate connexin43, but competes with the Rev‐erbα/Sp1. The A/B region of Rev‐erbα, which is not conserved in Rev‐erbβ, is a crucial activating domain, while the ligand binding domain, conserved in Rev‐erbβ, functions as a competitor.
Versican V2 isoform enhances angiogenesis by regulating endothelial cell activities and fibronectin expression
Authors: Yang Weining , Yee Albert J.
Published: November 2012

Versican is a proteoglycan expressed in the extracellular matrix, where it regulates a variety of cell activities and affects tumor development. With alternative splicing, there are four versican isoforms, denoted V0, V1, V2 and V3. The V2 isoform is highly expressed in the mature brain but its function in the mature brain has not yet been elucidated. Since brain tumors are among the most angiogenic of human tumors, we investigated whether or not the V2 isoform plays a role in angiogenesis and found that the glioblastoma cell line U87 stably transfected with V2 formed tumors containing extensive vasculature. Although the V2‐expressing cells grew slowly, they survived well in serum‐free medium. They also displayed high adhesive ability to endothelial cells and facilitated tube‐like structure formation. Importantly, fibronectin was up‐regulated by V2 and mediated V2 function. Thus, versican V2 could be a potential target for intervention of brain tumor angiogenesis.
Fetal and maternal leptin in pre‐gestational diabetic pregnancy
Authors: Higgins Mary F. , Russell Noirin M. , Brazil Derek P. , Firth Richard G. , McAuliffe Fionnuala M.
Published: November 2012

Objective

To compare maternal and fetal leptin among women without diabetes, women with type 1 diabetes, and women with type 2 diabetes.

Methods

In a prospective study at the National Maternity Hospital, Dublin, 40 women with type 1 diabetes, 10 with type 2 diabetes, and 30 without diabetes were enrolled between July 2006 and July 2008. Maternal (36‐week) and cord blood leptin was measured by enzyme‐linked immunoassay.

Results

No difference was found in maternal leptin among the groups: without diabetes (mean, range): 325 pg/mL, 36–1492 pg/mL; type 1 diabetes: 343.2 pg/mL, 55.5–1108.2 pg/mL; type 2 diabetes: 202.2 pg/mL, 35.1–1553.3 pg/mL (P> 0.05). Leptin levels were higher among fetuses of women with type 1 (223 pg/mL, 25.7–810 pg/mL) and type 2 (447.2 pg/mL, 136.3–679 pg/mL) diabetes than among women without diabetes (80.3 pg/mL, 27.3–623.1 pg/mL;P< 0.05). The single significant predictor of fetal leptin for the whole cohort was maternal body mass index (BMI;r= 0.39,P= 0.01). Only third‐trimester glycosylated hemoglobin (HbA1c) was significantly related to fetal leptin after controlling for maternal BMI among women with diabetes (r= 0.28,P= 0.04).

Conclusion

Fetuses of women with diabetes might have some degree of leptin resistance. This might be important in appetite regulation in extrauterine life.
Cocoa polyphenols prevent inflammation in the colon of azoxymethane-treated rats and in TNF-α-stimulated Caco-2 cells
Authors: Rodríguez-Ramiro Ildefonso , Ramos Sonia , López-Oliva Elvira , Agis-Torres Angel , Bravo Laura , Goya Luis , Martín Maria Angeles
Published: November 2012

Numerous lines of evidence support a relationship between intestinal inflammation and cancer. Therefore, much attention has recently been focused on the identification of natural compounds with anti-inflammatory activities as a strategy to suppress the early stages of colorectal cancer. Because cocoa is a rich source of bioactive compounds, the present study investigated its anti-inflammatory properties in a rat model of azoxymethane (AOM)-induced colon carcinogenesis and in TNF-α-stimulated Caco-2 cells. A total of forty male rats were fed with control or cocoa-enriched diets (12 %) during 8 weeks and injected with saline or AOM (20 mg/kg body weight) during the third and fourth week (n10 rats/group). At the end of the experiment, colon samples were evaluated for markers of inflammation. The anti-inflammatory activity of a cocoa polyphenolic extract (10 μg/ml) was examined in TNF-α-stimulated Caco-2 cells, anin vitromodel of experimentally induced intestinal inflammation. The signalling pathways involved, including NF-κB and the mitogen-activated protein kinase family such as c-Jun NH2-terminal kinases (JNK), extracellular signal-regulated kinases and p38, were also evaluated. The results show that the cocoa-rich diet decreases the nuclear levels of NF-κB and the expression of pro-inflammatory enzymes such as cyclo-oxygenase-2 and inducible NO synthase induced by AOM in the colon. Additionally, the experiments in Caco-2 cells confirm that cocoa polyphenols effectively down-regulate the levels of inflammatory markers induced by TNF-α by inhibiting NF-κB translocation and JNK phosphorylation. We conclude that cocoa polyphenols suppress inflammation-related colon carcinogenesis and could be promising in the dietary prevention of intestinal inflammation and related cancer development.
What's the Risk? Bilateral Investment Treaties, Political Risk and Fixed Capital Accumulation
Authors: Kerner Andrew , Lawrence Jane
Published: November 2012

This article argues that the political risk associated with foreign direct investment (FDI) is primarily a function of investment in fixed-capital, and not a homogeneous feature of FDI. As such, empirical tests of a political institution's ability to mitigate political risk should focus directly on investments in fixed capital and not on more highly aggregated measures of multinational corporation (MNC) activity, such as FDI flow and stock data that are affected by the accumulation of liquid assets in foreign affiliates. We apply this to the study of bilateral investment treaties (BITs). We find that BITs with the United States correlate positively with investments in fixed capital and have little, if any, correlation with other measures of MNC activity.
Is a healthy diet an environmentally sustainable diet?
Authors: Macdiarmid Jennie I.
Published: November 2012

The concept of a healthy and environmentally sustainable diet is not new, but with increasing concern about future global food security and climate change there is a renewed interest in this topic. Dietary intakes in UK accounts for approximately 20–30% of total annual greenhouse gas emissions (GHGE), with the greatest contributions coming from high intakes of meat and dairy products. Dietary proposals to help mitigate climate change (i.e. reduce GHGE) have focused on reducing consumption of meat and dairy products, but this must be considered in the context of the whole diet, alongside any possible nutritional consequences for health. Bringing together health and environmental impact of the diet raises the question of whether a healthy diet can also be an environmentally sustainable diet. While recent research showed that it is possible to achieve a realistic diet that meets dietary requirement for health and has lower GHGE, it cannot be assumed that a healthy diet will always have lower GHGE. With different combinations of food it is possible to consume a diet that meets dietary requirements for health, but has high GHGE. It is important to understand what constitutes a sustainable diet, but this then needs to be communicated effectively to try and change well-established dietary intakes of the population. Studies show that understanding of sustainable diets is poor and there are many misconceptions (e.g. the overestimation of the protein requirements for a healthy diet), which could contribute to the barriers towards changing dietary intakes.
Amygdala–hippocampal shape and cortical thickness abnormalities in first-episode schizophrenia and mania
Authors: Qiu A. , Gan S. C. , Wang Y. , Sim K.
Published: November 2012

Background

Abnormalities in cortical thickness and subcortical structures have been studied in schizophrenia but little is known about corresponding changes in mania and brain structural differences between these two psychiatric conditions, especially early in the stage of the illness. In this study we aimed to compare cortical thickness and shape of the amygdala–hippocampal complex in first-episode schizophrenia (FES) and mania (FEM).

Method

Structural magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) was performed on 28 FES patients, 28 FEM patients and 28 healthy control subjects who were matched for age, gender and handedness.

Results

Overall, the shape of the amygdala was deformed in both patient groups, relative to controls. Compared to FEM patients, FES patients had significant inward shape deformation in the left hippocampal tail, right hippocampal body and a small region in the right amygdala. Cortical thinning was more widespread in FES patients, with significant differences found in the temporal brain regions when compared with FEM and controls.

Conclusions

Significant differences were observed between the two groups of patients with FES and FEM in terms of the hippocampal shape and cortical thickness in the temporal region, highlighting that distinguishable brain structural changes are present early in the course of schizophrenia and mania.
Oral corrective feedback in second language classrooms
Authors: Lyster Roy , Saito Kazuya , Sato Masatoshi
Published: November 2012

This article reviews research on oral corrective feedback (CF) in second language (L2) classrooms. Various types of oral CF are first identified, and the results of research revealing CF frequency across instructional contexts are presented. Research on CF preferences is then reviewed, revealing a tendency for learners to prefer receiving CF more than teachers feel they should provide it. Next, theoretical perspectives in support of CF are presented and some contentious issues addressed related to the role of learner uptake, the role of instruction, and the overall purpose of CF: to initiate the acquisition of new knowledge or to consolidate already acquired knowledge. A brief review of laboratory studies assessing the effects of recasts is then presented before we focus on classroom studies assessing the effects of different types of CF. Many variables mediate CF effectiveness: of these, we discuss linguistic targets and learners' age in terms of both previous and prospective research. Finally, CF provided by learners and the potential benefits of strategy training for strengthening the role of CF during peer interaction are highlighted.
Review of doctoral research on second language teaching and learning in Spain (2008–2010)
Authors: Serrano Raquel , Miralpeix Imma
Published: November 2012

This paper reviews a selection of doctoral theses on language learning and teaching completed in Spain between 2008 and 2010. A total of 16 theses have been identified as representative – in terms of the topics under investigation and the methodology employed – of the doctoral research undertaken in Spain. Current topics include the development of speaking skills, motivation, learner autonomy, pragmatics, learning context, Content and Language Integrated Learning (CLIL), language learning by immigrant populations and, especially, classroom teaching. A variety of research methods were employed in the theses under review, and while most of them focus on adult learners, some also consider children. The interest of researchers in these topics is consistent with the challenges faced by language teachers in Spain, as well as with the new realities of teaching in this country, with its recently-arrived immigrant population, the expansion of CLIL programmes and the use of new technologies.
The African languages in South African education 2009–2011
Authors: Wildsmith Rosemary
Published: November 2012

South African National Language Education policy (South Africa, DoE 2002) enshrines multilingualism (ML) as one of its major goals. The implementation of such a policy is a slow process, however, particularly in the educational domain, where parents, teachers and students favour the dominant, ex-colonial language (English) for both historic and instrumental reasons (Dalvit & de Klerk 2005). However, results of the National Benchmarking Test (NBMT Report 2009) conducted at selected South African universities show that most non-English speaking students in higher education have underdeveloped language and numeracy skills for study at this level, one of the main barriers to access being that of language (Council on Higher Education 2007: 2). Efforts have thus intensified in South African institutions to introduce the home languages of learners into the educational domain, either as learning support alongside the main medium of instruction or as alternative languages of instruction, working towards the development of a bilingual education model. This report documents developments in research in the promotion and use of the African languages in education in South Africa in recent years, particularly since the publication of the previous report (Wildsmith-Cromarty 2009), which discussed various initiatives in the teaching, development and use of the African languages in South African education during the period 2005–2008. This report considers further developments in the use of the African languages for academic purposes in the following areas: the learning and teaching of these languages as additional languages and for professional purposes in selected disciplines for specialist programmes, and their intellectualization, which includes their use as languages of instruction, in the translation of materials and other learning resources, and development of terminology.
BAAL/CUP Seminar 2011
Authors: Budach Gabriele , Hüttner Julia
Published: November 2012

The aim of this seminar was to promote dialogue between two research areas addressing educational multilingualism: Content and Language Integrated Learning (CLIL) and community languages. In bringing together these two strands of research, the seminar explored and fostered potential methodological and theoretical synergies. As organisers we invited abstracts which addressed innovative research in areas related to the conference theme, especially contributions which explored ways of linking school and community-based language learning. We aimed to create an atmosphere of stimulating discussion and debate in a convivial, intellectual environment. The programme included a variety of formats that would encourage discussion.
CORPORATIONS, PROFIT MAXIMIZATION AND THE PERSONAL SPHERE
Authors: Hussain Waheed
Published: November 2012

The efficiency argument for profit maximization says that corporations and their managers should maximize profits because this is the course of action that will lead to an ‘economically efficient’ or ‘welfare maximizing’ outcome (see e.g. Jensen 2001, 2002). In this paper, I argue that the fundamental problem with this argument is not that markets in the real world are less than perfect, but rather that the argument does not properly acknowledge the personal sphere. Morality allows each of us a sphere in which we are free to pursue our personal interests, even if these are not optimal from the social point of view. But the efficiency argument does not come to terms with this feature of social life.
IDEALIZATION AND THE AIMS OF ECONOMICS: THREE CHEERS FOR INSTRUMENTALISM
Authors: Reiss Julian
Published: November 2012

This paper aims (a) to provide characterizations of realism and instrumentalism that are philosophically interesting and applicable to economics; and (b) to defend instrumentalism against realism as a methodological stance in economics. Starting point is the observation that ‘all models are false’, which, or so I argue, is difficult to square with the realist's aim of truth, even if the latter is understood as ‘partial’ or ‘approximate’. The three cheers in favour of instrumentalism are: (1) Once we have usefulness, truth is redundant. (2) There is something disturbing about causal structure. (3) It's better to do what one can than to chase rainbows.
ON THE AXIOMATICS OF RESOURCE ALLOCATION: INTERPRETING THE CONSISTENCY PRINCIPLE
Authors: Thomson William
Published: November 2012

An allocation rule is ‘consistent’ if the recommendation it makes for each problem ‘agrees’ with the recommendation it makes for each associated reduced problem, obtained by imagining some agents leaving with their assignments. Some authors have described the consistency principle as a ‘fairness principle’. Others have written that it is not about fairness, that it should be seen as an ‘operational principle’. We dispute the particular fairness interpretations that have been offered for consistency, but develop a different and important fairness foundation for the principle, arguing that it can be seen as the result of adding ‘some’ efficiency to a ‘post-application’ and efficiency-free expression of solidarity in response to population changes. We also challenge the interpretations of consistency as an operational principle that have been given, and here identify a sense in which such an interpretation can be supported. We review and assess the other interpretations of the principle, as ‘robustness’, ‘coherence’ and ‘reinforcement’.
A survey on metrics for the evaluation of user simulations
Authors: Pietquin Olivier , Hastie Helen
Published: November 2012

User simulation is an important research area in the field of spoken dialogue systems (SDSs) because collecting and annotating real human–machine interactions is often expensive and time-consuming. However, such data are generally required for designing, training and assessing dialogue systems. User simulations are especially needed when using machine learning methods for optimizing dialogue management strategies such as Reinforcement Learning, where the amount of data necessary for training is larger than existing corpora. The quality of the user simulation is therefore of crucial importance because it dramatically influences the results in terms of SDS performance analysis and the learnt strategy. Assessment of the quality of simulated dialogues and user simulation methods is an open issue and, although assessment metrics are required, there is no commonly adopted metric. In this paper, we give a survey of User Simulations Metrics in the literature, propose some extensions and discuss these metrics in terms of a list of desired features.
Cherubini and the Revolutionary Sublime
Authors: Hibberd Sarah
Published: November 2012

France receives little attention in narratives about the sublime in the late eighteenth and the nineteenth centuries. This article will argue that the cataclysmic tableau at the climax of Cherubini's first opera for the Théâtre Feydeau in Paris,Lodoïska(1791), can be understood as part of a coherent and distinctively French discourse of the sublime, rooted in revolutionary experience that can be understood in relation to wider European trends.
Two into Three Won't Go? Poetic Structure and Musical Forms in Mozart'sIdomeneo
Authors: Carter Tim
Published: November 2012

By the last quarter of the eighteenth century, the typical Metastasian two-stanza aria text could be set to music in one of two ways: in the ternary form typical of the earlierda capoaria (stanzas 1–2–1) or in a binary one (stanzas 1–2–1–2). Why did Mozart choose one form over the other inIdomeneo(1781); what does this tell us about the role of his librettist, Giovanni Battista Varesco, both before and after the composer left Salzburg for Munich to finish composing the opera and to prepare its performance; and how might these issues enable some rational inquiry into questions of music and drama?
Seeing the Empress Again On Doubling inL'incoronazione di Poppea
Authors: Schneider Magnus Tessing
Published: November 2012

This article presents a reading of Gian Francesco Busenello's and Claudio Monteverdi's operaL'incoronazione di Poppeain light of seventeenth-century theatrical practices. Reconstructing the doubling plan from the opera's premiere in 1643 on the basis of contemporary doubling practices and the correspondence of the Ferrarese music patron Marquess Cornelio Bentivoglio, the author argues, adducing circumstantial evidence, that Ottavia and Drusilla were conceived as a double role for the operatic quick-change artist Anna Renzi. While Renzi is known to have created Ottavia, this part is half the size of all other roles written for her, which invariably involve dramatic, emotional and musical variety to a much greater extent than does Monteverdi's tragic Empress. Renzi was admired for her command of both tragedy and comedy, and the essay develops the hypothesis of the double role as an intertextual interpenetration of the title heroines from the pseudo-Senecan tragedyOctaviaand Girolamo Bargagli's sixteenth-century comedyLa pellegrina.
